- Farmer John Tatton and his son Alfred do not get on, John accusing the boy of being a useless drunk like his late mother. Alfred confronts the family doctor Adam Crawford, taunting him for having a much younger wife Oona, who has just confided in Mrs McCarthy that she is pregnant. Alfred is found dead, mangled in farm machinery and soon afterwards anonymous letters appear, accusing Dr Crawford of the crime as Oona was supposedly having an affair with the dead man - something she denies. Dr Crawford confesses to the murder of Alfred but Father Brown knows better and seeks out the truth.—don @ minifie-1
- Father Brown looks into the death of Alfred Tatton, a local farmer. Alfred had been quarreling with his father, who considered his son to be a lazy drunken layabout and had also been seeing Dr. Crawford for severe headaches. He also seemed to be quite interested in Crawford's much younger wife, Oona. Soon after his death, village residents begin receiving letters accusing Crawford of the murder. Insp. Sullivan brings him in for questioning and the good doctor confesses. Father Brown learns in the confessional why Crawford wishes to plead guilty but is determined that the truth come out.—garykmcd
- Farmer John Tatton constantly belittles his rebellious son Alfred, an insufferable knave in town, who dies mingled in a farm machine shortly after standing up threatening with the same. Father Brown finds out Alfred was the lover of GP Adam Crawford's much younger wife Oone, who was probably unsuccessfully hiding her pregnancy. Unlike Inspector Sullivan, Brown mistrusts the anonymous letters declaring Crawford, who had means, the killer, even after a guilty plea and before hearing his confession.—KGF Vissers
