took that particular stick with it positive i handed it to him myself think i know at least a part of what happened here last night about this let's say the brisbane costata for chicago on a night when he knew that no one but he would be at home he missed his train purposely checked his bag at the station and return the old and then the second string and when it comes up in leaving no let it out of me it worked yes it worked well that explained that very clever it could have been done that way yes why don't you it belongs to the lady next door so quite understand about this as a matter of fact mr coe didn't commit suicide he was murdered would you mind coming along with us just a little matter of comparing  upstairs i'm not trying to tell you anything but the facts is the most remarkable case in my experience lake i thought she was at the kennel club but i had a puncture on the way so i was rather late when i got there she'd already left with thomas macdonald and i came home and went directly to that did you hear anything or see anything when you came into the house no i believe your the cook and you can drop the pigeon english that isn't necessary with me where do you go to school columbia university that's been said about education for a cook isn't mr cole employ me because i know great deal about chinese porcelain i see that's a very lovely piece of thing i was in it how did he get broken i don't know i found the pieces in the waste basket in the library you  no more but spots on the inside apparently the matter i dropped the dagger in here to hide it but he dropped it to a hot item the vase broke when did you find these pieces this morning someone falling i stood at my door here and listen then i heard footsteps across the kitchen and go out the back door and then i walked up the car door and everything was very quiet i opened the yet it fits that doesn't prove anything about this everything to me he kept raising the price but on monday we came to an understanding and i came to the museum that i had succeeded and last night he turned me down because he saw me w turning away you telling me way how long have you been using that name all my life for dubai check gambles fingerprints at the identification bureau who do you think he turns out to be not gamble no atlantic city used to work  wondering this afternoon how my dog figaro could get into this house when he was following me he was defending me when he was struck where did you kill mr cool in his bedroom what kind of lipstick do  what's that got to do with it is that your has nothing to do with it take me down to the station i say nothing more  suppose you say that when you were stabbed you saw nothing and that's right it was dark i had a noise and jumped out of bed somebody threw a chair and just missed my head and struck a window and i shout remember it was the servants night off the killer must have known this when he came in the back door he was so intent upon what he was planning to do that he must have left the back door open because from somewhere that they can plant came a dog a doberman pincher belonging to doris delafield he saw the back door standing open and wendy meanwhile the killer was moving along the coat when he looked up and saw him carefully closing the door my conjecture gentleman on your call much talked and as he fell back he picked up the poker as the first already a dying man walked up steps and what is even more terrible he did not know that he had been stabbed he went to his room and feeling a little faint probably he removed his coat and vest and i'm going in the closet where we found top went to the window and raised the shade can you imagine the calends emotions ran from some place in the apartment house across the vacant lot he looked over and off he die i don't think he ever knew what killed him now we come to the most awful part of the tragedy brisbane call came back to the house with a cleverly worked his brother sitting in his easy chair apparently asleep i can see him tiptoe across the room and from somewhere just across the desk he took out the revolver and with ca meantime the calico believing that he had only wounded article came back by the same route to finish his job then brisbane closed the window load the shape and returning to the he was able to both the door on the inside just as i showed you a very clever device generally which he had discovered in the unsolved murders which we found in the suitcase then gentleman brisbane went on down the stairs little knowing what awaited him there the killer mistook brisbane for archer coal and drove the diagram to brisbane back then to hide the and you can include me in that sergeant haven't you got any idea as a tall vance markham it's amazing conflicting clues anyone of seven people might have done it but we couldn't convict seven people mr vance you couldn't convict one with the evidence you've got then i'm afraid we're completely stopped lake i hate to admit it but it looks that way vance in all the years we've worked together never heard you say that before and i know i'm sorry mom i want to be going to do about it and i
