On the police notebook:
Date of murder: Yesterday, Saturday March 6
prime suspect: Mrs.Maloney, his wife
- "Hello Mrs. Maloney, can we ask you some questions about the murder of your husband ? If you are not too upset"
- "I'm a little bit, however I'm ready to answer your questions, I will tell you whatever you need..."
- "Thank you very much for your time Mrs. Maloney, firstly, could you tell us where you were at the alleged time of her death ?"
- "At that time I was at my work, colleagues will be able to confirm it to you, I had just finished and I was putting away my things to go home"
- "Ah very well, You work as a civil servant is that right ?"
- "Yes sire"
- "Alright fine, did you know that your husband has a lover ?"
- "No sir, I hadn't even read the letter yet, I only had suspicions"
- "And finally one last question, when you discovered the body in the entrance to your house, did you call the police directly ?"
- "Yes I rushed to my house phone to contact you"
- "I see, I think I'll be forced to arrest you"
- "What ? But why ? I will be unable to kill my husband"
- "Are you sure of that ? Yet when you told me that you did not know that your husband had a lover, you were not surprised and even mentioned a letter that we did not mention, while you said you called the police directly after you arrived home. Besides, you said you used the house phone but there is no trace of footsteps in the blood while the body is in the hall. In addition, yesterday at the time of the murder was Saturday, and it seems to me that an civil servant doesn't work on week-ends, so your alibi doesn't work. Good bye in jail Mrs.Maloney"
