Cleft Stick by R.D. Wingfield

“I -didn’ leave mother's until gone 10 o'clock.... as it was late I took the short cut through the woods ... a man attacked me. He' jumped at me from the bushes. He tried to strangle me.’

A woman claims she was attacked by a stranger while walking home through some woods, and killed her attacker with her husband's gun. But when she is interviewed by the police, she denies that she ever told her husband of such an attack.
