The feuding Hazlitt brothers

This MSW episode is one we learn for the first time that William Windom had a brother. But he and Richard Bradford have been estranged for decades and we really never learn why.

Still Bradford who is filthy rich is going to be displaying a rare ruby called the Danaav which is said to carry a curse. It sure looks like a curse when Bradford's young wife is nearly killed and later Bradford is killed.

Bradford's death is the classic locked room story where he's found dead with no secret passage and a lock from the inside. Of course Jessica Fletcher figures out the how and later the who.

I will say it was nothing unearthly sinister. The crime was done by humans with very human motives.

Nice to see the brothers make up before Bradford's demise. A universal lesson for all of us.
