Won't you sit down, Mr. Wickham? Thank you. Well, we were lucky to find you tonight. My name's Wallace, Assistant District Attorney. Well, I would have been here sooner, Mr. Wallace. But they asked me to identify the body.

Mrs. Kennett was my secretary. Your manager, the bradle press, is that correct? Yes, a publishing house. Religious and educational textbooks. This is shocking, Mr. Wallace. What happened? Well, she was strangled sometime late this afternoon.
