“You followed us in a car after we left the church?” Mr. Hatfield inquired.
“Where would I get a car?”
“Then how did you learn where the money box was taken?”
“I knew you’d either take it home or to the police station.”
“So you broke into my home later and took the box?”
“I had to get it back.”
“You dressed as a woman so you wouldn’t be recognized?” Mr. Hatfield resumed the questioning. “You wore a black silk dress with diamond-shaped jet buttons?”
“That’s right!”
“You mean you wore my dress!” Mrs. Jones exclaimed indignantly. “Why, then you stole it from the shed! You’ve been taking wood too!”
“Only a little.”
