Journal according to Seargent Noonan
Something was weird about Mrs Maloney that day.She seemed to be very delightful and unusually enthusiastic when she treated us.As a widow pregnant with a child,she should in a state of deep melanchony but merely wept for a short while and the next thing we saw she was acting very normally.It should not be like this unless something mysterious peculiar happened.
The meat of the lamb that she offered us to eat was a little overcooked and it was nearly all covered in carbon,which indicated that the lamb must have been heated in the oven for a long time although she stated it was just nicely cooked.We should not have accepted anything offered in the house because it was our sole duty was to investigate and furthermore we might even get tricked into destroying useful evidences but we were really hungry at that time as we had been scouring and investigating thoroughly in her house since that evening without having dinner.We said we did not want much and a few bites will do otherwise how was she going to have her dinner if we have eaten hers?But, she strongly insisted that we finish the lamb.We could not resist our hunger therefore we accepted her offer.
I feel unsafe of leaving her in the other room as we dine in so I kept a close ear to her every move lest she commited anything stupid such as suicide or tried to cover up all the evidences that might lead to the identification and be the proof of the killer.Nothing happened.As my suspicion faded away , I suddenly heard a giggle.Instantly I was certain that the laugh came from Mary Maloney because she was the only person present in the other room and I wondered why would someone whose husband had just passed away laugh.
Her husband's skull was smashed to pieces according to the examination of the doctor hence it had to be someone taller than the chest of her husband who used something harder and less fragile than the skull of the her husband to shatter her husband head.
