"Analysis of the bullets will undoubtedly be the evidence we need. Even the police can be relied upon to see the obvious." Holmes leaned back, looking utterly satisfied. "The murder charge will not stick."

Watson's look clearly said he was unimpressed. "And what of the other charge?"

"Trespassing -- what of that?" Holmes dismissed it with a wave of his hand. "It will not be worth mentioning in the Times."

Watson continued to look morose. Holmes really did have the most incongruous sense of humor. For his part, Watson did not find it amusing to be sharing a jail cell.
