:CASE
Early this morning, a Mr. George Shultz of Dover was found dead
in back of the West Landing Pub. The body had no wounds and did
not show any signs of a fight. In the hand of the dead man was
a bag of 10 gold coins.
Inspector Lestrade, after questioning several people, arrested
Jacob Wilson a known thief who was seen at the pub last night.
Lestrade has concluded that Wilson attempted to rob Mr. Shultz
and then killed him. He also speculates that someone must have
come out of the pub and Wilson was forced to flee. Lestrade is
not sure how Shultz was killed, but he has vowed to prove that
it was Wilson.
Also questioned by Lestrade were Robin Jackson, who works at
Hillery's Boutique and had been seeing Shultz; Robert Grant,
a stock broker who Mr. Shultz had been seen visiting a few
times; Donald Lee, a friend of Mr. Shultz.
Jacob Wilson has sent you a note pleading for your help. He
insists that he had nothing to do with the entire matter and
is just a victim of circumstance.
In order to prove your clients innocence, you must find out:
a) Who killed George Shultz
b) How was he killed

:STORY
When Mr. George Shultz arrived in London two months ago he quickly
sought out Robert Grant. Robert and he had grown up together in
Dover. He was very excited to find that Robert had become quite
successful here in London and was earning a good wage working at
a brokerage house.
Shultz was a gambler and soon found himself in debt. He needed to
raise cash quickly or face the racketeers. He decided that he
would go to his friend and ask to borrow the money; Grant refused.
Since Shultz came from the same city as his friend Grant had, he
was aware of the time Grant had spent in prison for embezzlement.
He knew that Grant would be fired if word of this ever came out.
He then decided he would blackmail his friend into giving him the
money.
Although he had only planned on a one time thing, his gambling
continued and he began to rely on the blackmail money.
Grant quickly became tired of paying out the money. Finally when
he was evicted from his apartment for not paying the rent and
forced to move into the east side of town, he plotted the murder
of his friend. Relying on his knowledge that Shultz always bit
his coins to verify their authenticity, he poisoned the money
that he was to pay him that night.
