Indexer Notes

The main clue in the story matches one written by the master of the mystery puzzle, Austin Ripley, where Ripley's character, Dr. Joseph Fordney, deduced that the murderer was wearing cheap shoes with cheap blue socks, with a hole in the sole allowing the dye to run when the killer stepped in water. (pointed out by Anthony William Durrant)
