The New Yorker, October 7, 1939 P. 19

Dr. & Mrs. Carpenter were going to America on a lecture tour She promised to bring him back for Christmas. His friends believed her. She managed everything so wonderfully. The final arrangements for closing the house had been taken care of . The Doctor called her upstairs; there was something in the bathroom drain. When she leaned over to look, he struck her over the head with a lead pipe. He knew where to dispose of her body; he had been pottering about the cellar for some time, trying to scrape out a bin for wine he told her. In N.Y. he felt free at last. The first mail arrived from England. One letter from a building firm, addressed to Mrs. Carpenter, saying that they were starting work on the wine bin, it would be ready for a Christmas present as they had promised.
