I was told, Maine (don't know whether it is true or not) that instead of "Inspector Jones" doing one and when he was through just getting the next one from the pile, that "Inspector Jones" did everyone who's name started with A, while "Inspector Smith" did all the Bs, and "Inspector Brown" did all the Cs, etc. If you name was Quincy, or Zedoe, it didn't take long to get to you. My name, however, started with an A, and there seemed to be a lot of folks with names that started with A.
