The Bat1959

Lt. Andy Anderson:
[finding Judy dead] The Bat.

Cornelia van Gorder:
Yes the Bat, he caught her at the head of the stairs. We saw him rushing down the stairs as we came out of our rooms. I hurled that [a fireplace poker] at him, I hit him I believe. 'I'm going to cover this place from attic to basement' you said, well what were you covering out there while that poor child was murdered, where were you?

Lt. Andy Anderson:
I saw a man outside on the grounds. I went out and hunted him, I hunted him among the trees so far as the brook down near the back road, then I lost him. After that I'd give my own life than let this happen to Judy, but I told you to stay in your rooms and lock your doors and stay there! What was she doing at the head of those stairs?

Dale Bailey:
That was my fault.

Cornelia van Gorder:
They heard a strange noise, heavy pounding in one of the rooms on the third floor, we all heard it.

Dale Bailey:
I wanted to see what it was, but Judy, she wouldn't let me go out there by myself, [crying] I made her stay on the balcony!

Lt. Andy Anderson:
What about your new butler?

Cornelia van Gorder:
Oh he's in his room I suppose.
