#102 - The Five Alibis of James Forbes McCallum (Covent Garden, London, WC2)

On Friday 20th December 1940, James Forbes McCallum robbed the Coach & Horses public house in Covent Garden; he was a desperate man whose first and only robbery was ill-judged, unplanned and such a catastrophic failure that it ended in death. And yet, when he was arrested, he was so panicked, he gave the Police five plausible alibis. But which alibi was right?

  • Location: The Coach & Horses, 42 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2
  • Victims: 1 (Morris Sholman)
  • Culprits: 1 (James Forbes McCallum)
