520			_a"A Point of Testimony" by Carolyn Wells is a crime fiction novel published in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the witty and humorous detective Bert Bayliss, who is summoned to investigate a murder in an affluent household. Set against the backdrop of a well-to-do society, the story provides a thrilling look at a web of suspects intertwined with motives related to inheritance and intrigue. The plot begins with the murder of Richard Hemmingway, a well-known financier, who has been strangled in his library. With a myriad of suspects, including family members and staff, Bayliss navigates through their testimonies and hidden motives. A key element emerges when evidence points to George Fiske, Hemmingway’s secretary, as the likely murderer. However, through clever deductions, Bayliss uncovers the truth: Fiske had staged the crime to cover his own machinations regarding a large sum of missing securities. Ultimately, the combination of humor and keen observation leads to a surprising revelation and the resolution of the case, showcasing Bayliss's unique approach to detective work.
