| WHAT HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT SHE DIED? The report said Julie had been holding the knife that killed her. Had she picked it up to attack someone, or to defend herself? Try as he would, Thanet couldn t visualize thequiet Julie lying in wait t])r her husband with a carving~knife. Nor, for that matter, could he see Holmes calml~~taking the knife to night school with the intention ofkilling her when he got home. Yet if he were guilty, itcouldn t have been any other way, there wouldn t havebeen time. In any case, it was Julie s prints that wereon the knife. Was it possible that Hohnes could havekilled her, that when she was dead he had simply takenher hand and pressed it around the dagger, holding it inthe right position to give the impression she had beengripping it herself? He must ask Doc Mallard. In anycase, his original objection still held: he could seeHolmes driven to stabbing in a fit of jealous rage,perhaps, but this way? It didn t feel right. Then, too, there was the question of why Julie hadbeen dressed to go out. |
