COLD CASE · PRACTICE
THE JUDGMENT HELD OVER
A hunting lodge, Edwardian, the dead hour before dawn, wet dogs and a dying fire.
Decode each statement, then name the one liar. The cipher is the same for all five.
INCIDENT REPORT. Frank Greaves, dealer in antiquities, was found dead in the gun passage of the Wexley hunting lodge before the guns were up, a lawsuit against him unresolved. One fact stands settled: the judgment in that suit was held over and read only the following morning, entered so in the court list; its outcome was known to no one that night. Five slept at the lodge. One account will not hold.
Small numbers count each symbol's appearances.
