Yeah, I know.
And Mr. Smythe, I'd like you in particular to watch and see how close I come to showing exactly how Danny Claxton was killed.
First, let me ask all three of you.
Were any of you ever in Mr. Claxton's apartment?
Not me.
Well, I'd been there, but not in the past week.
Very well.
Now, my very intriguing lady in blue, you have the knife.
I'm going to show everyone what happened the other night.
You, lady, will pretend to be the murderer.
I'll be Claxton.
Now, you slip up behind me.
Please get behind me.
Throw your left arm around my neck.
As you do that, I try to reach back with my hand to seize the knife like this.
I'm sorry.
Markham.
Will you turn out the lights, please, all of them?
I think you will now.
Everybody, please look at my right hand.
