Ashes to Ashes - Gotcha

Could anyone explain to me the GOTCHA in Ashes to Ashes.

What did Mr Prince do and why did he do it - with the ashes?

I don't understand.

Thanks.

Is this one of those cases where this stupid mistake if not committed could have lead to the murderer getting away with it?

Murder by the Book: Timeframe?

Cassidy's character gives Columbo all his (and his late partner's) Melville novels, there's at least a dozen of them, and Columbo returns them to Cassidy at about the halfway point of the episode.

Where would Columbo find the time to read all of them? Is he a speed-reader? Is he lying when he claims to have read them? How much time actually passes in the episode? I didn't think Cassidy gave them to Columbo expecting them to be returned, either. He described them as a "gift".

This is like the third time I've seen this episode and this has always had me curious.
