What were the precautions taken for the smooth conduct of the examination?

Or

How was it ensured that Evans did not have any weapon in his cell?

Solution

In order to meet any eventuality, enough precautions were taken for the smooth conduct of examination. All the sharp instruments like nail-scissors, nail-file and razor, etc. were removed from its cell. The Governor had arranged a microphone in the room of Evans so that he could hear what went between Evans and the invigilator. Senior police officers like Jackson and Stephens were arranged by the Governor to have a strict vigil. He was himself extra cautious about the whole affair and was in touch with every activity going on there. One of the persons from St. Marly Mags was appointed to invigilate the examinee. Thus elaborate arrangements were made for the smooth conduct of the examination. The Governor remained sitting in his office with the receiver to listen to them. Stephens was posted at the door of the cell to peer through the peep hole from time to time. It was well ensured that Evans should not escape from the cell at any cost.

Where did Evans go?

Reflecting on the story, what did you feel about Evans having the last laugh?

When Stephens comes back to the cell he jumps to a conclusion and the whole machinery blindly goes by his assumption without even checking the identity of the injured “McLeery.” Does this show how hasty conjectures prevent one from seeing the obvious? How is the criminal able to predict such negligence?

What could the Governor have done to securely bring back Evans to prison when he caught him at The Golden Lion? Does that final act of foolishness really prove that ‘he was just another good-for-a-giggle, gullible Governor, that was all’?

While we condemn the crime, we are sympathetic to the criminal. Is this the reason why prison staff often develop a soft corner for those in custody?

Do you agree that between crime and punishment, it is mainly a battle of wits?
