"I don't think that trail leads anywhere. Hubert was at the movie when the murder was committed, with the stupid but estimable Aunt Abbie. But I think I know - "
Miss Withers stopped bustling about with her broom. "You mean?"
"I mean the brotehr of Dana Waverly, that's who I mean. Charles Waverly, the distant relative and next male heir of the Stait family. He's a lawyer, and therefore in a position to know just what loot there would be in the Stait future."
"Lawyers usually have better ways of getting loot than committing murder for it, " Miss Withers suggested dryly. "They play it safe, as a rule."
