He left her in the fog near the office about 7:30 p.m. Monday, was seen taking the 8:15 to London Bridge, and was discovered dead at 6 a.m. Tuesday ([[BRUC]] {{refcanon|BRUC|403}}). <br /> <br /> * [[Sherlock Holmes]] deduced — and later proved — that West died elsewhere and his body was placed on a train roof; in fact, West had followed Colonel Valentine Walter, witnessed the theft, and was fatally struck by [[Hugo Oberstein]], after which the body was lowered onto a halted train and three vital plans were kept back by the spies ([[BRUC]] {{refcanon|BRUC|538}}).<br /> <br /> * West was ultimately shown to be loyal and innocent of treason ([[BRUC]] {{refcanon|BRUC|864}}).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:Characters (all stories)|Cadogan West, Arthur]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (Sherlock Holmes stories)|Cadogan West, Arthur]]</div>
