SENTENCE They passed an old building next to a dark courtyard. But I suspect that it was blackmail. Something evil about him. He went into his office and took an envelope from the drawer in his desk. Poole, the butler, opened the door of Dr. Jekyll’s house. A maid, alone in a house. Mr. Hyde had a heavy cane in his hand. The murderer probably took it with him when he left. The police also found a purse and a gold watch on the body. He gave Mr. Utterson the envelope and told him about the murder. Drawers were open and there were ashes in the fireplace. The handwriting was a bit strange.
