Have they arrested the murderer?
The Soldier
They’re hunting in the wood. They’ve seen nobody.
Otto
(To the Sergeant.) Have sentries posted at all the gates. Quick! quick! Shoot any one at sight who attempts to leave the grounds. He can’t escape. Where’s the Major?
The Sergeant
I don’t know, sir.
The Burgomaster
He’s probably in his room, on the other side of the house. He won’t have heard.
Otto
