"In the precious name of God, Sheriff, why?"

"I want to compare it to what we found on the knife, Mrs. Shoenherr. It's horribly smudged, you know. We found just a few partial prints. All thumbs! But if they match yours, it confirms our theory the attacker wore gloves. And if your thumb doesn't match then so much the better for everyone, don't you think?"

Roy wasn't trying to frighten or confuse Ruth but now she would be thinking of self-preservation in the wake of her own husband framing her for the crime.

"Will you have to take me down to your station for a thumbprint?"

"Not at all," said the Sheriff, and he used his pencil to make a thick dark spot on a page in his notebook. "Are you right or left handed?"

"Right, of course," Ruth said, as though southpaws were somehow cursed by God.

And so with Mrs. Shoenherr freely willing, Sheriff Roy Sternbach rubbed her right thumb in the spot of graphite, flipped to a fresh page in his notebook, and rolled her thumb across the paper to get a perfect print. #YL

There was another difference. At Clara Zinter's house Robyn played music, but here it was silent. No radio, no record collection and no Victrola to play them on.

Roy marveled how religious folk were so keen on a life in the hereafter when their life here on Earth was so miserable, by their own choice.

"I see you don't have a radio, Mrs. Shoenherr."

"There's only one radio station in Headwater, Sheriff, and more often than not they play race records. Alfred says that's the devil's music. Even the children at the Academy are playing that garbage now, if you can imagine."

"The girl who was attacked was in band class," he revealed. "Do you think somebody stabbed her because she played race music?"

Ruth remained silent but she seemed to roll the thought over in her mind.

"It was very generous of you to allow me to come indoors," Roy said. "I have no right to ask this of you, and don't believe for one instant that I really think you attacked the girl, but if I could just get one print of your thumb." #YM

With some reluctance Ruth went inside to fetch it.

The fact that Ruth Shoenherr didn't know she was missing her knife set was recorded in Roy's notebook.

As expected she returned empty-handed and Roy recorded that too, for the benefit of Agent Mark Felt when he took over the case.

"I don't understand," she said. "I used a knife from the set just this morning when I made breakfast for Alfred and the children, but now everything is gone."

"Oh no, Mrs. Shoenherr, that's just what I didn't want to hear. But I'm sure there's a good explanation. Do you mind if I come indoors so the heat in your house doesn't escape through the front door?"

She thought about that for longer than he liked but in the end Ruth nodded and stood aside to let him in. She asked the Sheriff to sit on a couch.

Roy thought Ruth's home was very similar to the Zinter place in layout but different in almost every other way. There were no paintings, no rugs, not even a single decorative knick-knack. Just a Bible and the Green Book. #YN
