What reading level is The Upas Tree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The evidence of O'Connor was confirmed by his companion, Murphy; also, with important additions, by Walsh, the detective. The recent work on poisons the detective had found lying open at a page which treated of digitalin and told of its deadly character.
And he had noticed particularly that the bottle marked "Digitalin" was almost empty.
"As a detective experienced in such matters, you were aware, I suppose, that most homicidal poisoning 164 THE CASE OF THE STATE is committed by women or on acc...ount of women?" asked Colonel Sickles.
"I airi," replied the witness.
"Tell the jury, then, all that you did to find the woman in the case," demanded the questioner.
Greatly embarrassed, the detective was driven from one position to another and finally admitted that he had merely hunted the prisoner down with no thought as to his guilt. It also transpired that he had been paid by Miss Hodgkin.
The evidence concerning the bottle was disquieting to Beckwith. It seemed strongly inculpating. If he had used up the digitalin within a month before the death of his client he must have made frequent experi- ments with it; and there was involved, also, the sug- gestion that some of the drug had been taken out to fill the suspected capsule.
