The Black Circle

Tom Grant, police reporter on the Chronicle, is on his way to his office when he sees a blind man hesitating in front of an apartment house entrance. Springing forward he assists the gentleman up the steps and courteously rings the bell for him. Later that evening he is sent to the same house to get the story of a mysterious shooting that has resulted in the death of the master of the house, Royce Rolston, a retired eye specialist. Grant, by his investigation, determines that the fatal wound has been inflicted by a shotgun. Rolston's blind visitor had carried a heavy cane. Grant discovers circular marks upon the floor that appear to be powder stains. He questions the butler and from him learns that just prior to Rolston's marriage, Dr. Standish had been blinded in a fight over Genevieve's mother. Having established revenge as a motive and being suspicious of the cane carried by Dr. Standish, Grant gains admission to his apartment. He comes to grips with the blind man on the balcony but is unable to prevent him from tumbling to his death when the railing gives way. By a superhuman effort Grant swings himself clear and proceeds to the ground via some telephone wires, hanging head downwards until he can reach a rain spout leading to the street. The broken cane proves to be a cleverly devised weapon and another baffling case is cleared up by the Chronicle reporter's ready wit.
