Ginger: “Oh my God! Dash, tell him about the letter! Oh my God! What have we done?
Dash: “Just be quiet about the letter.”
Cracker: Mr. Salte? Ginger seems to think you have something to say
Dash: Well, um, about a month ago I found a letter in my mailbox which said that…that Brother Dominic was a fake. That he wasn’t a man of the cloth at all. That his real name was Rick Cotta and that he was wanted for murder. Along with the letter was a copy of that same newspaper article from the Sioux City Tribune.
Cracker: Was the letter signed?
Dash: No
Was the letter handwritten or typed?
Dash: It was handwritten, and, well, the handwriting looked a lot like Mr. Musterd’s
Cracker: I see. Mr. Salte, did you do anything about the letter?
Dash: No
Cracker: Mr. Salte, do you agree with the story Hedda has just told us?
Dash: Yes
Cracker: And you had told Mrs. Tyme of the change?
Dash: Yes
Cracker: What did she say to that?
Dash: She promised she would keep quiet, but for $100,000
Cracker: Extortion?
Salte: Um, yes
Cracker: And what did you tell her?
Dash: I told her we’d get her the money.
Cracker: How did you plan on doing that?
Dash: I, um, told her that I would, um, steal it from the money which the viewers had sent in for the monthly plea from Brother Dominic
Cracker: can you confirm that it was in Brother Dominic’s handwriting
Dash: Yes, and there’s something else
Cracker: Yes?
Dash: Well, when I found Mrs. Tyme’s body in the dressing room, she was clutching this.
Cracker: What is it Mr. Salte?
Dash: It’s a crucifix, the kind that hangs from the end of a rosary. I happened to notice that Brother Dominic’s was missing this evening. When I asked him about it he said he didn’t realize until just before the taping but by that time it was too late to do anything.
Hedda: Yes, it’s Dash’s
Dash: But I didn’t write it
