He also learns that Lydecker was jealous of Laura's suitors, using his newspaper column and influence to keep them at bay.

After Lydecker has left, McPherson examines Laura's clock and finds the shot gun that killed Diane. Laura is confronted with the truth that Lydecker was the murderer. McPherson locks Laura in to her apartment, warning her not to let any one in. After he has left, Lydecker gains access to the apartment.
