Saunders (The Adventure of the Dartmoor Bungalow)

In the short story The Adventure of the Dartmoor Bungalow (later, chapters 3 and 4 of The Big Four), Saunders is a representative from a Prisoners' Help Society. Soon after Robert Grant was released from prison, Saunders approached him and helped him get a position as a servant of Jonathan Whalley at his house "The Granite Bungalow" at Hoppator in Dartmoor. Saunders also made him a gift of a pair of boots.

It later turned out that Saunders was a persona adopted by Claud Darrell, Number 4 of the "Big Four" criminal syndicate. He had taken on the role of Saunders in order to set Grant up to take the blame for the murder of Jonathan Whalley.
