The short story takes place in England, around 1940's. You see that by their talk for example.They are very polite and sincere and we know this because the book came out in 1947, so it is most likely that this short story was about the 1940's.
The main characters in the story is Mrs. Salmon, living in 15 Northwood Street, 56 years old. Kind, honest and careful lady. Adams the suspected for the murder, heavy man with bulging, bloodshot eyes. It was three more witnesses than Mrs. Salmon; Henry MacDougall, Mr. Wheeler and an unknown.
The story is not chronological; it starts with Mrs. Salmon’s attest to the crime. In the early of the morning, at 2 o’clock Mrs. Salmon heard a noise outside her house. Therefore, she went to the window and saw Adams the suspected on the steps of Mrs. Parker’s house. Adams had gloves on and a hammer in his hand. Mrs. Salmon saw Adams drop the hammer into the bushes. She had seen his face when he looked up in the light of a streetlamp. Mrs. Salmon spoke this attest to the court. While Adams’s wife said that, he was with her at two in the morning. There was more witnesses but Mrs. Salmon was the ideal witness, with her expression of honesty, care and kindness to tell to the court if the man in the dock was the murder. She looked straight at the big man standing in the dock, and said, “Yes, there is he.” Then they bring in Mr. Adams twin brother, exactly same as Mr. Adams. Mrs. Salmon got confused and now she could not say which one of them is the murder. There were no one else that could say which one of them was the murder, so they both got free. One of the brothers was the murder, but no one knew it. When the brothers came out in the crowd, somehow one of the twins got pushed on the road right in front of a bus. He died of course but which one of them died, the murder or the innocent man?
The theme of the story is not to judge people too quickly and without enough evidence. The story tells a very good point; nothing is what it looks like, and maybe; everyone gets what they deserve.
