:TITLE
The Case of the Crashed Cab by Jim Vickonoff
:ENDR
:ID_TAG
011
:ENDR
:CASE
The headline on the Tribune reads "Cabbie Killed in
Crash". Late last night, a West London Cab Company
Cab was found wrecked head-on into a giant oak tree.
Found inside the cab was Herbie McFay, dead on the
scene from massive head and internal injuries.
It was reported that McFay was not a heavy drinker
and no alcohol was found. Among the food wrappers and
other garbage inside the cab was a schedule for the
Yorkshire Ferry.
Among the persons questioned by Inspector Lestrade were
Harry Chuckman, the dispatcher of the West London Cab
Company; Michael Spamming, the barkeep at the West
Landing Pub; Olivia Newton, McFay's current girlfriend;
Margaret Simms, one McFay's old girlfriends and some
frequent visitors to the park.
The Coroner has ruled the crash an accidental death
due to driver error. But for some fishy feeling, you
believe that foul play was involved.
Holmes, these are the things you must find out:
a) Who killed Herbie McFay?
b) How was he killed?
c) What was the motive?
The game is afoot!

:STORY
The number of ferry passengers was dropping daily. One day
Captain Wienburger spied cabbie Herbie McFay diverting some
ferry passengers into his cab. This soon became a regular
occurrence with Herbie McFay doing most of the passenger nab-
bing.
Profits were dropping and the Captain was soon threatened
"Do something, or ELSE"! He then began to think of a way to
"deal" with Mr. McFay. One night, the Captain was following
Herbie McFay home and on the large sweeping curve next to the
Park, he rammed McFay's cab from behind forcing it into a
big tree.
