		In some he has discovered the end of the story or the solution of the problem: in others his quarry has proved as elusive as the white hind.
		Sir James does not profess to have identified the true criminal, but he has established the place of the trial (hitherto disputed), offers evidence that the murderer was one of several conspirators, and suggests that the trial of James Stewart was not the travesty of justice which tradition and romance represent it to have been."
