THE MURDER MUSEUM
The murderer is in charge of Room 305.
The shapes are in fact the numbers 3, 7, 0, 9, 5, 8, 1, 4, 2, 6 presented in mirror image form. The splayed hand has deliberately indicated the 3, the 0 and the 5. The fourth finger did not touch the wall as that would have left marks above the 7.

The murderess is Miss Lead. The raspberry jam (Miss Deeds) is discounted, as is the Luncheon Society lady (Miss Chief). The ladies involved in the 3- and 6-week quarrels are eliminated from the suspects (Miss Takes and Miss Place). Only one suspect remains . . . Miss Lead.
