What purpose did the question paper and the correction slip serve? How did they both the criminals and the Governor? |

Answer» The purpose of the photocopied sheet that was superimposed on the question paper and the correction slip was to supply the details of the escape plan to Evans without uttering a single word. It was a well-thought out meticulous plan. It was also a meant to make the authorities believe that the wounded man was McLeery himself. And at that moment, it worked as was thought and the authorities got trapped. The correction slip helped the Governor also in locating the place where Evans was hiding. The six-digit number of the correction slip i.e. the index number and the centre number 313/271 helped the Governor. He put these numbers together and with the help of the Ordnance Survey Map of Oxfordshire, he reached the hotel where Evans had decided to hide for the day. |
