The Murder at the Main House and Halliday’s Deduction
Halliday solves the long mystery by tracing a hidden passage beneath the main house used for disguising crimes and by linking Bethel, Gordon, and the Livingstones to the crime. He uses a mix of deduction, forged or concealed evidence, and help from Hayward and Annie Cochran to expose the killer and clear or implicate suspects. The third seance reveals the truth, with a final vision of a figure at the foot of the stairs and a body hidden behind a wall panel.
