The author would like to express his warm thanks for the patience, insight, and help of Detective Judy Roberts of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia. Also indispensable to the research was the able assistance of George R. Wilson, Chief of the MPD Firearms Identification Section, and Firearms Examiner Sgt. John M. O'Neil.

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies

Fallen cold and dead.

-Walt Whitman
