Summary
How a minister caught the murderer of a travelling salesman.
A travelling salesman disappeared in Skye. His body was found by a man turfing his bank during the peat cutting season. The corpse was taken to the vestry and the minister called everybody to the church. The people were all asked to touch the dead man's brow. The corpse began to bleed from a wound when one man touched it. He was questioned by the minister and the policeman, and taken to Portree prison, where he confessed to the murder.
