ALIBI - Mrs. Townsend

Mrs T: "Inspector Chapman?"

Inspector: "Mrs. Townsend?"

Mrs. T: "Some questions about my husband, I suppose?"

Inspector: "When did you last see your husband, Mrs. Townsend?"

Mrs. T: "Last night, before he went to the chess-club."

Inspector: "The chess-club?"

Mrs. T: "Yes, my husband always played chess at the club on thursday evenings."

Inspector: "And how long did he usually stay at the club?"

Mrs. T: "Oh, he was always at home again by half past ten or eleven o'clock."

Inspector: "And last night? Didn't he come home?"

Mrs. T: " I - I'm afraid I really don't know, Inspector. You see, I went to bed myself at about ten, and I didn't know that he was missing until breakfast time this morning."

Inspector: "You and your husband had separate bedrooms, then?"

Mrs. T: "Yes, sir. But who could have done it, Inspector?Who could it have been? Who could havewanted to kill him?"

Inspector: "Was this wallet your husband's?"

Mrs. T: "Yes, it was. He was robbed, you mean?"

Inspector: "It looks like it. And just one more thing before I go, Mrs. Townsend. Is this your husband's glove? It was founded near your husband."

Mrs. T: "No, it isn't."

Inspector: "Are you quite sure?"

Mrs. T: "Absolutely."

Inspector: "Tank you for helping, Mrs Townsend."

Mrs. T: "Come again if there are any more questions."
