now where approximately where the necklace is on the counter you know between us and see how much did you pray when you turned out the window just as you did yesterday you don't smoke watch the idea of asking people for matches just something original in psychology a neat way of breaking a man's train of thought and him off guard are you kidding me again oh no no you see i suspected where the jewels were he's so up so that's no excuse principality at least not where i come from now times yes i am a little longer day i thought we might take a little walk down to the villian something i'd like to talk to you about well i guess i can stand  go on keep moving my cars outside if you think you can get away with your mouth shut and you won't get hurt  all my experience as a detective has prepared me for this moment my intuition told me that i should find it here observation assures me that she's beautiful and deduction proves that she is you must be crazy yes i'm sorry but you can't leave those are the sheriff's officers but we've been here for almost an hour how long do you expect to keep us until the karner sheriff molly have completed our examination of the body it will be back in a few minutes but if this is your soul in patience judge queen why don't you introduce yourself to the sheriff and help him you could do more to solve this case in these country bumpkins i'm sorry but i have forsworn murder mayhem and mystery in all their respects during my vacation besides the california police are very competent they might resent my intrusion well do you think there's any connection between the kidnapping of my uncle and the murder of the muckle who is that good looking fellow over there my fiance with the car would you mind if murdered him was the most efficient method of getting rid of a rival and if the queen can't take anything seriously i was never more serious in my mind i'm trying to decide whether to put a black widow spider in his pajamas nine except my brother those books about yes but don't believe everything you read in print not by a long shot i have read all that stuff about you in fact i've read every detective story ever written and i've always wanted to run up against one of you  investigating him but it we always look for a motive opportunity and mea clue except that his bed wasn't slept in last night washed know and the clothes michael wore last night are missing what did you expect a dead man to do walk up stairs and hang his clothes in the closet no sir but we've searched the house and grounds they disappeared completely we'll find them all right sorry sheriff we can't find any heavy objects with blood stains on it all right you two go outside and don't let anybody in i'll talk to you later madam what did you hit michael over the head with and what did you do with his clothes i tell you i don't know anything about  the queen i know my mother isn't guilty would you please help us on the matter i wouldn't think of intruding my meager talents show them only as the case so well in hand you mean you think my mother is guilty of course you see m stealthily behind him and since no bloodstain object has been found it is obvious that she doubled up a massive fist hit him over the head and knocked him was colder than embalmed hearing then she strangled him with a wire remove his clothes and put on the bathing trunks but she realized however that the clothes would be evidence against it so he ate you another to find that mrs godfrey has a weak stomach which accounts for our inability to get away with a cape and i had well wiseguy suppose you  case you mean you know who the monaro is more or less what he means and he's probably a man with the black spots in front of his eyes for flashes before  crazy about reporter meat i'd give one of those seed out of my patches to find out what's going on in there i guess there isn't anything new this guy clean must be slipping this fellow around here is favorable the dogs would have taken care of anyone that came through the back gate and asked for the co marco would have noticed any stranger that landed in a boat and don't forget it wasn't anybody from the outside  lovely little house with ivy climbing down the walls and through the windows and up the stair you don't have ivy inside the house yeah well i know but i was going to be different oh i see that and every night when i come home from work after solving six or seven murders you'll meet me at the mishandling it you me you cry yourself out of this and it you were there after your husband a share of the estate in addition you probably hated him you saw the chance to well that that's the seventh child and all the rest of you have been in this room since right after dinner with the exception of one man he was absent for about fifteen minutes w that you must be crazy why dad would try to knock on the first it was mrs godfrey then it was mrs munt now it's mr godfrey why don't you just play amy my name oh and find out who was it i had just about enough of your wife's cracks and i have to thank you you've done nothing but make fun of sheriff molly ever since you came here at least he's trying hard and doing is best to find the matter that you can hear with the reputation of a great detective now i don't want to be offensive godfrey i have deliberately avoided doing anything in this case for only one reason probably because you couldn't solve it no because of you because of me thing i'm afraid that finding the murderer would only bring you sorrow arresting people on evidence that couldn't even secure an indictment if the murder isn't your mother or father it may be one of your motives which is constable or mrs money obviously an abused woman who would think she had plenty of motive for killing her husband did john please meet me at the pavilion near the beach after midnight i must talk to you signed how can you prove that you didn't kill caught more easily than you can prove that i did  to obvious what you mean well if miss godfrey wanted to kill mrs constable she could've asked her to meet her on the cliff she wouldn't need to write a note which she knew was bound to be evidence against it and for this note here as you california within twenty four hours why because within that time i shall find the real murderer i suppose you mean the man with the black spots in front of me die yes the one with the black spots in front of his eyes you're not a bad fellow sheriff i hate to see you make a mistake give me until this time tomorrow morning to catch the matter if i fail then arrest miss godfrey twenty four hours won't make any difference michael was found with an opera keeper on his shoulders as a lot more to be found out then that for instance what happened to the rest of the stroh's i could explain that if i could explain the cape and how about the heavy object the murderer used to hit him together you know a different type how about a joint i refused to discuss which you realize that your reticence makes you a definite suspect yes did miss delane never did intend to be married we were planning to leave and be married as soon as you could get away tell us about tuesday morning and i couldn't sleep i was worried about our local and it i got it i know what the letter a did but i don't know why you see i worked a long time for mr got yes i know what made you go back to the pavilion the second time because i got to thinking that it might be something that would incriminate mr guthrie and put to white neighbors thinking i had a few fingers of are you a very courageous person station that guy story is all raving maniac and most maniacs have optical aberrations such as black spots in front of the eyes you thought i was joking but i knew these murders were the work of a madman who i can't figure  far the coming was afraid his footprints on the wick beach were growing suspicion away from the people at the house but he was afraid that a man walking along the street in bathing trunks at one o'clock in the morning would attract attention that's why he changed clothes with michael he got back to the boat and the next day he swam ashore again  high tide he climbed up through the bushes and got into the house he killed mine under estimating trunks to bewilder the police who are court was probably killed because he came upon come around expected you mean to say he was in the house all day yesterday queen you sure did your stuff too bad i couldn't have pulled it off it would have made my reelection a certain what's going on all this reporter guy got by me and the dogs couldn't stop me i said get a seat out of my pants for a story and i did not time to call the reporters in you mean
