"She thinks she saw somebody near the river, but she is not sure; in fact, she is so scared that she is all mixed up. She has told the police a thousand times that she had nothing to do with the crime."
"Did Miss Langmore see anybody?"
"She saw a Doctor Bird pass in his buggy and a farmer named Carboy go by on foot."
"When was this?"
"While she was at the piano. She doesn't know the exact time."

"So far as you are aware, Mr. Case, did Mr. Langmore have any personal enemies?"
"I never heard of any."
"He was rich?"
"Yes."
