In the story, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a maid called the police because she believes she witnessed a murder. First of all, she was going to sleep in her room which had a perfect view of the street outside and she noticed a man passing by. She observed that eye catching man and did not pay attention to the shorter man. Then, she saw them having a conversation and the short man with a cane transformed into a beast. The shorter less appealing man stepped on the other man's foot and then hurt him with the cane mulitple of times. The maid was so startled she fainted. When she woke up, she called the cops and of course there was evidence of the monstrousity at the crime scene. The cops found one part of the broken cane in the sewer and in the victim's pocket, an envelope with the address of Mr. Utterson. This information was given to the lawyer the next morning and he went to recognize the corpse of Sir Danvers Carew.
Mr. Utterson and the officer go to Mr. Hyde's house and the atmosphere is dark, melancholy and has a bad vibe. At the suspected murderers house everything shows that the murder was no accident. The other part of the cane was behind a door, and a cheque book that was saved by the fire was founnd. Of course, there were many burnt papers and a mess in the rooms of Mr. Hyde's house. When their is a witness, evidence of a horrible action this is enough to put Mr. Hyde in Trial. If I was a lawyer in this case I would try to cinvince the jury that Mr. Hyde is guilty because there are enough evidence to support my idea. As a lawyer, I would try to find more witnesses and would go further in the decision that I am making. But in this story, Mr. Utterson is more about trusting and he has a lot more patience compared to me.
