The Case For The Defence

… Both brothers were arrested by the police the next day. It was obvious that one of them did commit that blood-curdling crime. The question was that the brothers had alibis to be broken…

The best decision was taken immediately. The two brothers were interrogated right away, so that they didn’t even have a way to communicate and negotiate about the case. There was nothing the police did to the accused… All the needed manipulations were done to their wives, who were supposed to blurt out all the information right after the police told each of them that her husband is already sentenced to death by burning, despite the trial. Anyway, they told absolutely nothing.

The police was confused: they were sure their plan should’ve worked it out. They had nothing left, apart from applying polygraph, which was highly trusted, to both accused. After a line of related-to-case questions the presumed murderers were asked a direct one “Did you batter that lady to death?” The answers were, of course, negative and polygraph confirmed that they didn’t tell any drop of lie.

The police was bound to set the accused free. Everybody wondered how they managed to be acquitted after a dozen of people had seen them committing a crime in broad daylight… It didn’t matter anymore, because nobody knew that when you believe, you are able to wind round your little finger even a polygraph...

The Case For The Defence

…The police couldn’t agree with such ending of the story. They decided to investigate Northwood Street again and especially the laurel bushes. And as it turned out this repeated survey was not in vain. The police found a bracelet there. The bracelet apparently wasn’t there for a long time because it was well preserved. So the police thought that it could be a clue to this crime. However they hadn’t any assumptions.

Next day the police arrested both of brothers and put them together in a prison cell to eavesdrop on their conversations. And one night they have heard the following.

‘I feel that something bad will happen.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘I have lost my bracelet. And what is the most offensive I can’t recall when it has happened.’

‘Do you want to say that you have lost it in the bushes in Northwood Street?’

‘I don’t know, but I think the police guess about something.’

‘Don’t say nonsense. They haven’t got any evidences.’

‘Hmm. I hope…’

So the brothers’ game was up. One of them waited for a capital punishment and the other for a large prison term for complicity.

The Case for the Defence

… The next day the police arrested both brothers and charged both with the murder.

The twins were interrogated separately. The police tried to get at the heart of the matter and told one of them that they had the goods on another brother, and vice versa. Predictably, one of them took the spear in his chest to defend his brother.

To the chagrin of the defendants, at the same time their wives were interrogated too. Under penalty, one of the wives confessed that on that day her husband had come home at daybreak with a mixture of fear and malice in his eyes.

All these facts gave rise to doubt, and the police tried to find new evidence. They examined the scene of the crime again and found a handkerchief with the fingerprints on it. The prints were identical with those of the convicted person, of one of the brothers.

So the crime was solved by the police and the murderer endured the punishment at the hands of the law.

Victoria Falls

There are many places in the world I have always wanted to visit. In the main, it is the most famous tourist cities. However, recently I have seen the video about Victoria Falls, and I have a great wish to visit this place. Choosing the material for the story I have found out much cognitive and interesting information about the falls.

Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River in Africa. Also it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world it is known as the largest. The name Victoria Falls was given to the falls by the Scottish explorer Dr. David Livingstone. The locals call the falls Mosi-oa-Tunya meaning “smoke that thunders.”

Victoria Falls and the surrounding area are very extensive, so it is impossible to see at a glance its marvel. There are several ways to enjoy the beauty and splendor of the falls. The first view comes from the air using a helicopter. The second and the most impressive one is swimming in Devil’s Pond. Devil’s Pond is a natural mountain basin which is located at 120 meters height. People who swam there told that it was indescribable feeling and there wasn’t other place like this on earth. 

Victoria Falls is located on the territory of two national parks. So you can see wild animals such as elephants and giraffes.

You can hardly find the lovely words which haven’t described this magnificent natural wonder yet.

             I wish I can go there one day

The city that I've always wanted to visit

I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam. The mane thing that attracts me in this magnificent city is its narrow houses and charming streets. 

Indeed, there are places in the city you should not miss during your visit. There are shops in which you can find old lamps that were made around the world. Each of them restored, but didn’t lose its history and uniqueness.

Moreover there is the lowest concentration of cars on the city’s roads. Bikes are held in high esteem. It’s just incredible, you feel as if you have died and found yourself in an ideal ecological city.

And as far as I know, Amsterdam's casinos are as popular as Las Vegas’ casinos. The most important difference is that you needn't any dress code, because everybody can come in and try himself in gambling. The city is also known for its marvelous Bruine Café. As Amsterdam is a multicultural city, a lot of different ethnic restaurants can be found there. Restaurants range from being rather luxurious and expensive to ordinary and affordable.

I do not know whether you find it splendid or not, but I'm curious to look at the narrowest house in the world. The length is about 2.2 meters. In any case I wonder how the owners of this unique house welcome guests.

By the way there is a very original sculpture in the "red light district" on the area Oudekerksplein: a man's hand, hugging a woman's breast. It is also extraordinary as it was built into the pavement. The funny thing is that the author is unknown. 

To sum it up, I think that Amsterdam is worth seeing. It is a marvel city. Amsterdam has many parks, open spaces, and squares throughout the city. The atmosphere there is magnificent, people are famously friendly and moreover prices are low.

The place I've always want to go!

In my opinion, traveling becomes a very important part in people's life. There are a lot of places that are worth visiting. It depends on people's taste what to visit: a marvelous nature wonder or up-to-date city-centre.
As for me I have always wanted to visit Edinburgh and as I remember myself I've dreamt about trip to Great Britain all the time. In my opinion this city is very unique. It combines two worlds: the medieval and modern town, as there are two centres of the city: the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town has preserved its splendid medieval castles. In my childhood my sister and I used to imagine that we were princesses, who lived in old mansion and the city was our kingdom. Most of the buildings of the Old Town have been preserved from the time of their constraction. The main sightseeing of this place is the Royal Mile, which consists of parts of medieval streets. There are streets and dead ends on either sides. In my opinion the one of the most exciting place which is in the Old Town is Edinburgh Castle. It's located on a cliff top of extinct volcano. The St. Margaret's Chapel, which is situated near the castle is considered to be the oldest building in Scotland. Also there is a large number of shops, which specialised oh selling the traditional Scottish whiskey and clothing.
There is a legend that the New Town was built as the Old one was overcrowded in Middle Ages. The New Town is interesting with its modern architecture. You can find there all the necessery and up-to-date entertainings: for example the main street - Princes Street is home to many shopping malls and business centres are . In fact, the the New Town was conceived as a residential area.
The other thing that attracts visitors in Edinburgh is that a lot of annual festivals are held there. One of the most famous is Edinburgh Internetional festival is a festival of perfoming arts( it's something like the talant show, which is in the open air). All the young musicians, artists and painters have the opportunity to show themselves.There is also one more festival, which I'd eager to visit - is Edinburgh International Book Festival. It takes place in the last 3 weeks of August every year. The tourists have chances to know about new authors and their compositions.
In conclusion I may say that this city is really worth to visit and I hope once 'd come there!

The city I'd like to visit

I would like you to get acquainted with one of the most mysterious and beautiful cities in the world. It is San Francisco. This unique city is located on the West Coast of the United States at the north end of the San Francisco peninsular and includes significant stretches of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay within its boundaries. It's sparkling, that the city if officially name as the City and County of San Francisco and it is the leading financial and cultural center of Norther California. The city also has the largest population density.

I have chosen this gorgeous place mainly because of my childhoos interest for "Charmed", which is an American series about three witches, fighting with demons and dark powers. The city was a filmland for the series and you can find there the Sisters' house (The Charmed Ones). The house is, actually, the most interesting thing for me about this city and I want you to have a closer look at it.

After having a quick look at this magnificent house, I want you to see two more most famous places of San Francisco. The first one on the list is definitely the Golden Gate Bridge. There's something special about this bridge, apart from being the most internationally recognized one, it draw your attention being an architecture marvel.  Many international magazines put in to a list of the most beautiful modern wonders. It is certainly the most photographed bridge in the world. It is thrilling to know that this bridge has been filmed more than 30 times, not including every single time it was shown on news or in series episodes. Surprisingly though, such an angelic place used to be popular with people, who were eager to commit a suicide. That's the main reason why the authority provided the bridge with a special telephone line for such cases. Anyway, it's one of the most eye-drawing object in California. 

The second place I want to tell you about is Chinatown, which is very famous the world over as it is one of the biggest in the United States. It's becomes less popular to develop such things as Chinatowns, but San Francisco's special district amazes. It has over 2000 shop and stalls, so that you can find there almost everything. Whether you want to have some cheap food or have a meal at first-class restaurants - you can find it in this Chinatown. Personally, I suppose it is one of my favourite places in the city because it shows the combination of different cultures - all you need is just stroll along the alley.

As you have already read, the main reason I want to visit this place is the Charmed house, but there's one more thing that attracts me almost equally. The thing is amazing climate throughout the year. I'm not a big fan of winter and all those cold things, so San Francisco is probably the perfect paradise for me. It has hot dry summer, which is OK, and mild winter and autum, which allows people to enjoy relaxing weather whenever they want.
