The story
The jury looks back on events that lead to profligate baronet Sir Hubert Ware being tried for murder. He had run up huge debts over many years, but always managed to talk his way out of trouble, while not paying his creditors any money. He pretends that his wife's wealthy brother Eustace will stand guarantor for his debts, and is given three months to pay his debts or face bankruptcy.
