Chapter 3: The Carew Murder

Summary:

This third chapter begins a year later with a girl's story of the murder of Sir Danvers Carew. As the girl says, she was looking through the window when she saw two men walking in the street. One of them was old and the other was young. They were talking when suddenly the young man took a stick that he had and hit the old man until he died. There was nothing around the crime scene, except a letter for Mr Utterson, so the police went to ask him. Mr Utterson identified the corpse, it was a man called Sir Danvers Carew. Then he identified the crime weapon, it was a stick that he had given years ago to Dr Jekyll. He told the police about Mr Hyde's direction, so they went to his house, but a servent told them that he wasn't at home. However, they went into the house and discovered the other half of the stick (the one they found in the street was broken) and a cheque book. They went to the bank, where they were told that the cheque was from Mr Hyde.
