Captain Strawn, sworn in, told briefly of his being called to the scene of the crime, of the activities of Carraway, the fingerprint expert, and of the exhaustive search of his squad of detectives.
"Did you find any person concealed upon the premises, that is, within the house itself, or in the garage or on the grounds?" Dr. Price asked.
"No, sir."
"Did you or your men discover the weapon with which the deceased was killed?"
"No, sir."
"Did you question all persons in the house at the time of the crime, as to whether or not a shot had been heard?"
"I did. The answer in every case was that they heard no shot."
"And you also questioned every person present in an effort to place responsibility for the death of Mrs. Selim?"
"I did. I couldn't find that anyone present had anything to do with it."
"Who were these persons?" Dr. Price then asked.
