Plot:

The story turns around this Banker who gets interested in a certain crime that had been posted in the newspaper. He read the article on several occasions and something hooked him up to the newspaper account. One day in the morning, standing in front of the window that was toward the Piccadilly Street he saw two men walking one behind the other. The first one look over his shoulder while the other with his hand shown sign of threatening. The men made their way between the people and no one stopped them. For a moment, the two men stop and stare at the Banker like they were willing to be recognized.



Late night in his sitting room he saw the ghost or the figure of a man that was beckoning on him over the door. It was the second man that he had seen in the Piccadilly Street. He was surprised, afraid and unable to explain what he saw. Even his servant felt through him this shivery feeling.



After this, he was summoned to serve upon a jury related to the crime he had read in the newspaper. He didn’t expect such request since people with his academic level was not normally selected to serve as a jury. This trial would last around 10 days in which he should deliberate with his 11 jury partners.



Now on the court, he saw more often the figure of the dead man like it wanted to catch his attention. On the court, some people saw the figure but they weren’t sure about what they saw. The figure of the dead men was fooling around the court and the juries.



While the court gathers the evidence against the murderer, the dead man figure was constantly in the court and addressed to those who were speaking. When the murderer was sentenced the figure was never seen again. By the way, the murderer complained about the trial of being unfair since the Foremen of the jury (The Banker) was against him. Furthermore, he said that he had been threatened at night for someone who had put a rope around his neck.
