Do you have any rope like this inthe house?” The three servants passed the coll from hand to hand. Mrs, Whitmore spoke far them. “We never had rope like this in the house. We use the ordinary wash-line kind. [never saw rope like-that before.” The detective addressed hig next question to the Whitmores. “Did you see Donaghy up here the day of the murders?
