_] Still another one?
KRUEGER
What do you mean?
WEHRHAHN
Nothing. You may go ahead with your statement. The wood, it appears, was
not in your shed?
KRUEGER
The wood was in the garden, that is, in front of the garden.
WEHRHAHN
In other words: it lay in the street.
KRUEGER
It lay in front of the garden on my property.
WEHRHAHN
So that any one could pick it up without further ado?
KRUEGER
And that is just the fault of the servant-girl. She was to take the wood
in last night.
WEHRHAHN
And it dropped out of her mind.
KRUEGER
She refused to do it. And when I insisted on her doing it, she ended by
running away. I intend to bring suit against her parents. I intend to
claim full damages.
WEHRHAHN
You may do about that as you please. It isn't likely to help you very
greatly.--Now is there any one whom you suspect of the theft?
KRUEGER
No. They're all a set of thieves around here.
WEHRHAHN
You will please to avoid such general imputations. You must surely be
able to offer me a clue of some kind.
KRUEGER
Well, you can't expect me to accuse any one at random.
WEHRHAHN
Who lives in your house beside yourself?
KRUEGER
Dr.
