The Weapons

 

Candlestick

This elaborate candlestick usually stands in the centre of the Dining Room table. So why was it discovered on a table in the Lounge?

Dagger

A sharp, antique dagger from the 17th century - though Dr. Black probably used it as a letter opener as it was normally to be found in the Lounge. However this deadly item was found under the billiard table in the Billiard Room.

Lead Piping

A piece of lead piping that was kept in the Conservatory in case the kitchen sink or any of the rusting pipes of the old house started to leak. However, the police found it next to a pile of wax in the Dining Room.

Revolver

Dr. David Black's favourite weapon. Normally kept locked away in one of the drawers of the desk in the Study, it was found lying on top of the desk instead.

Rope

A nasty piece of cord that tied back the curtains in the Ballroom; it was found ripped off the wall and lying by the piano in the Ballroom.

Spanner

This sturdy instrument, kept in a cupboard in the Kitchen, was found next to the Hall clock.
