Mr. Chameleon - The Hanging Judge Murder Case

Judge Hatch is walking quickly and impatiently along a corridor of the Cyrus Blackstone Museum in New York. Accompanying the judge is his young, and obviously puzzled, daughter whom says "Father what's this all about? Why did you insist on coming here to the museum today? The Judge says "You'll soon find out, Barbara". She says "You've never come near this museum before, even though Cyrus Blackstone was your cousin. Then, you suddenly decide that you have to come here this afternoon. Father, are you listening to me?" The Judge says "I've seen that man before". Barbara says "Which man do you mean?" Judge says "Barbara, come into this room quickly. I don't want him to see me. I'll pretend to look at this antique wooden box".  Barbara says "But father, the sign there says do not touch. All these things are very valuable". Judge says "Never mind the sign. I'm going to look at this box, then I will have a little talk with the head of this museum, Miss Priscilla Ames. Yes, incidentally, this box is a work of art. Come and look at it, Barbara". Suddenly, a gunshot is heard. Barbara says "Oh good heavens, he is dead, he is dead!"
