So, I get the impression many of us are at a loss on how to proceed. Any thoughts?

"It's generally considered bad form to have witnesses interacting in a situation like Mr. Farr's before talking with them," Dutch says, trying to calm down the situation. "And despite what Mr. Carlisle said, I don't think the asylum appreciates unannounced field trips to view its catc...

The detective tips his hat to Lucius, waiting for him to leave before addressing the witnesses. "Professor, I was wondering if we could take a look at some telescope coordinates, " Dutch says, not entirely skilled with the proper astronomical terms.

"In time, Mr. Carlisle," the detective says. "However, I need to interview witnesses without interruption," Dutch says. "I'm sure you will appreciate the need for me to interview the witnesses in private."

"Maybe so, Mr. Carlisle," the detective responds. "But the public good demands that all possibilities be examined and accepted or ruled out. What one man would consider a open and shut case, another might view as inadequate. Add one person with a suspicious mind and a loud voice, and ...

"Civic improvement. Always a noble end, Lucius..." Vrees says, "I'm sorry, I did not get your last name, nor your position in City Hall. I am a bit of a stickler. A useful trait in my profession, Lucius...?"

"I'm hard to miss in a crowd, Miss Ross," Dutch says. "Professor Witherspoon? I'm Detective Vrees, with the Arkham Police Department. I was told you witnessed the incident earlier today." The detective's eyes sweep across the group. Most of them he can recognize or ascertain are ...

"Five years as a detective," Dutch says as he starts the car. "Before that, five years as a patrolman. As for the case, right now it's just another story of a lunatic. That and a hunch there's more to it. Speaking of which, what happened between you and the cleaners back in the apartm...

"Shouldn't be a problem," Dutch says as he opens the door to his Model A. He helps Peter load the bicycle before getting into the driver's seat.

Dutch listens to the man. "I believe Professor Witherspoon was also a witness to the incident at the university," he remarks. "Perhaps we should pay him a visit. I'll wager he's still at the university."

Dutch reads the last blood-stained pages. "Unfortunately, I'm not an astronomer and I'm not a head doctor," he says to Peter . "I can't make heads or tails of it. As for the eyes, I couldn't say." The detective thinks for a minute. "Mr. Walton, how well do you know the facu...

"I'd be very interested to hear what your research has uncovered, Mr. Walton," Dutch says as he shakes the librarian's hand. "As well as a few other things." The detective isn't quite sure what to make of the man and his forthright offer. Part of him wants to read the riot act to...

Dutch quickly pockets the photo and looks around. Looking at the two men briefly, Dutch decides to head down the stairs to see if he can catch up to the the man who fled the scene.

Dutch walks into the room after reholstering his pistol. Getting awfully jumpy , he thinks to himself. Still, the man from the university seemed like he was in a hurry to leave. The detective considers pursuing him, but decides to take a look at the apartment while there's a chance to find somethin...

Hearing the words, Dutch instinctively unholsters his pistol. It seems silly. Even if the man behind the voice is threatening, most people would have to be crazy to try something against a police detective, particularly one of his size. Still, something unknown but familiar sends a chill down the de...

"Well, I think that's enough questions for now, Miss Taylor ," Dutch says as he gets up. The detective makes his way to the door. "If you remember anything else, even if it seems irrelevant, don't hesitate to contact me." He gives Judith one of his cards, before making his way to...

"Was he interested in astronomy?" Dutch asks. "How long did you know Michael ?" The detective makes a mental note to look at this telescope, assuming it wasn't in evidence. Whatever the man was looking at, it was important to his state of mind. Dutch remembers what the man said t...

Dutch listens as Judith talks. He tries to put two and two together. "Was Michael going through anything traumatic beforehand? A recent tragedy or may be some trouble at work?"

Dutch listens to to woman's tale, waiting for the Judith to sit before taking a seat himself. "You need not worry. He was found near the university, and taken to St. Mary's. You said Michaelwas screaming. Was he saying anything when he screamed?"

Dutch enters the apartment, closing the door behind him. "I know this must be difficult, but you were in Farr's apartment when he ... lost it." Dutch wishes he knew a more diplomatic way to put it. "What was he doing before he harmed himself?"
