The coroner's findings reveal the girl was violated and killed with a case knife, broken in pieces during a brutal attack. Wounds included a severed wrist artery and a deep slash to the forehead. Evidence places the knife in a rear library room used for church entertainments. Concerning motives, Minnie Williams had been betrayed by a young man, likely Durant, with jealousy over Blanche Lamont. Police suspect an accomplice, though none is confirmed, and a detective hints Durant may have help moving the body.
