He says "Yes". She says "My name is Laura Franklin. My father... It's so awful... So horrible... I find it difficult to even talk about it, Mr. Keen". He asks "What seems to be the trouble, Laura?" She says "It's my father. He was stabbed to death last night in our home!" Mike says "No wonder the girl's ready to collapse. Here, Miss, sit down and take it easy". Keen says "Try to compose yourself, Laura". She says "I made up my mind I wouldn't break down again before I told you the story and asked for your help, Mr. Keen". He says "Well, this is my partner, Mike Clancy. You can say what you want to him as well". Mike asks "When did it happen, Miss Laura?" She says "Last night, Mr. Clancy. I suppose it'll be in all the newspapers this afternoon. Dad was a well-known member of the community. Mr. Keen, you may have heard of his student endowment fund". Keen asks "Was he the John Franklin who donated a large sum of money a few weeks ago to help educate promising young students?" Laura says "Yes, he was very generous and well-liked. Father didn't have an enemy in the world. Why should someone have wanted to kill him?" Keen asks "Do the police have any suspects?" Laura says "No, We only know that the killer entered our house by breaking a pane of glass in the window of Father's study. There were blood stains on the broken pane, and the police think the killer must have cut his hand". Keen says "I see". Laura says "Father was in the library at the time. It was two o'clock in the morning, and I was asleep upstairs". Keen says "And you heard no noise, no sound of a scuffle?" Laura says "No, sir. My room is on the second floor in the back of the house. The killer used a knife, not a gun. And I heard nothing". Keen asks "What about the servants, Laura?" She says "They're all down at police headquarters now being questioned, but, at the time it happened, they were all in the servants' cottage, a few hundred yards from the main house".
