I am here to-night of my own initiative.

I thought it only fair and reasonable that you and I should meet before we are brought face to face at a coroner's inquest, and, it may be, in an Assize Court....

_Someone_ murdered my wife.

If the police show intelligence and reasonable skill, _someone_ will be tried for the crime.
