C.)
DUNN. Inspector!
DONOHUE. Well?
DUNN (_at door_ L.C.). I can't tell for sure, but I guess the knife went
clean into the heart. He must have died instantly.
DONOHUE. All right. Let me know when the Coroner arrives. (DUNN _starts
toward door down_ L.) And, Dunn!
DUNN. Yes, sir.
DONOHUE (_going_ C.). You'd better let me have a look at that knife.
(DUNN _turns sharply and looks at him._)
DUNN (_down_ L.). The knife?
DONOHUE. Yes, the knife.
DUNN. I haven't seen any knife. I thought you had it.
DONOHUE. No. I haven't seen it. (_There is a long pause._ DONOHUE _is_
R. _of_ CROSBY.) Mr. Crosby?
CROSBY (_still_ L.C.). We didn't find it.
DONOHUE. Look carefully?
CROSBY. Everywhere. While we were waiting for you.
DONOHUE. Who moved Mr. Wales' body?
CROSBY. I did.
DONOHUE. No one else touched him?
CROSBY. No one.
DONOHUE. What did you do, after you had carried him to the sofa?
CROSBY. I saw that he had been stabbed. I looked for the knife.
DONOHUE. Where?
CROSBY. On the floor, under the stairs, everywhere I could think of.
DONOHUE. No trace of it?
CROSBY. None.
DONOHUE. What did you do then?
CROSBY. Nothing. I waited for you.
DONOHUE. How long after you found that Mr. Wales was killed did you turn
on the lights?
CROSBY. Why, I told you; we turned on the light before we found what had
happened.
