  • The
  • Lane
  • Fleming
  • collection
  • of
  • early
  • pistols
  • and
  • revolvers
  • was
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • best
  • in
  • the
  • country.
  • When
  • Fleming
  • was
  • found
  • dead
  • on
  • the
  • floor
  • of
  • his
  • locked
  • gunroom,
  • a
  • Confederate-made
  • Colt-type
  • percussion
  • .36
  • revolver
  • in
  • his
  • hand,
  • the
  • coroner's
  • verdict
  • was
  • "death
  • by
  • accident."
  • But
  • Gladys
  • Fleming
  • had
  • her
  • doubts.
  • Enough
  • at
  • any
  • rate
  • to
  • engage
  • Colonel
  • Jefferson
  • Davis
  • Rand--better
  • known
  • just
  • as
  • Jeff--private
  • detective
  • and
  • a
  • pistol-collector
  • himself,
  • to
  • catalogue,
  • appraise,
  • and
  • negotiate
  • the
  • sale
  • of
  • her
  • late
  • husband's
  • collection.
  • There
  • were
  • a
  • number
  • of
  • people
  • who
  • had
  • wanted
  • the
  • collection.
  • The
  • question
  • was:
  • had
  • anyone
  • wanted
  • it
  • badly
  • enough
  • to
  • kill Fleming?
