Two days after Rex’s death Ada and Mrs. Greene are poisoned within twelve hours of each other—Ada with morphine, Mrs. Greene with strychnine.
Ada is treated at once, and recovers.
Von Blon is seen leaving the house just before Ada swallows the poison.
Ada is discovered by Sproot as a result of Sibella’s dog catching his teeth in the bell-cord.
The morphine was taken in the bouillon which Ada habitually drank in the mornings.
Ada states that no one visited her in her room after the nurse had called her to come and drink the bouillon; but that she went to Julia’s room to get a shawl, leaving the bouillon unguarded for several moments.
Neither Ada nor the nurse remembers having seen Sibella’s dog in the hall before the poisoned bouillon was taken.
Mrs. Greene is found dead of strychnine-poisoning the morning after Ada swallowed the morphine.
The strychnine could have been administered only after 11 p.m. the previous night.
The nurse was in her room on the third floor between 11 and 11:30 p.m.
Von Blon was calling on Sibella that night, but Sibella says he left her at 10:45.
The strychnine was administered in a dose of citrocarbonate, which, presumably, Mrs. Greene would not have taken without assistance.
Sibella decides to visit a girl chum in Atlantic City, and leaves New York on the afternoon train.
