THE HUDSON VALLEY MYSTERY. Dr. Watson and his wife are enjoying a peaceful breakfast when a note arrives
from Sherlock Holmes inviting them on a journey to New York City. A terrible tragedy has taken place in the Hudson Valley, just north of the great metropolis. A young man confessed to having murdered his father, and then he went stark raving mad.
