Now, we are in what I imagine was a combination bathing cabin and trophy room.
Is that what it was used for, Mrs. Zachary?
All of you can see that there is fishing equipment, mounted fish, and fishing knives in this room.
And that one of the fishing knives is missing from the box on my right.
That is the state's exhibit A.
It's the knife that killed Mr. Zachary.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hastings.
Now, you'll notice that there's a door leading from this cabin to the pool.
It's only a few short steps.
I will, Mr. Bartlett.
All in good time.
Now, it is my theory that Mr. Zachary and his murderer met out here early on the morning of the murder.
There was a quarrel.
In the heat of anger, the murderer seized a knife from this box and stabbed Mr. Zachary.
Vance, stop.
Mrs. Zachary is fainting.
I apologize again to you, Mrs. Zachary.
I'm sorry, but I must continue.
The murderer stabbed Zachary.
He staggered back, as I'm doing now, and through this door.
