The preacher was in fact a thief who had stolen the original
manuscript of Hamlet from an exhibit on the Riviera, where he
also acquired his tan. The preacher disguised the manuscript as
a Bible and had Longworth authenticate it for the Duke, whom the
preacher hoped would buy it. Longworth, however, in desperate
need of money, killed the preacher with Hamlet's sword and stole
the manuscript. Longworth, who does not smoke, planted the
German-made cigarette near the victim's body to throw suspicion
from himself; but in the process, he accidentally dropped his
packet of aspirin.

on the rope to kidnap Winnie, who was fully prepared for the
kidnapping. Winnie's husband, Guy, found out about her
involvement with Newcomb. Guy booked passage for himself,
probably bound for his lawyer and a divorce.

The quartet's harpist was bitter over the theft of his musical
piece Goodbye, Dolly, so he was determined to end William
Minor's career on a sour note. You had an edge on this case if
you know music and recognized that on the piano an E flat and a D
sharp are exactly the same note.
