Arthur Volupides Monologue

Decent Essays

When I arrived at the scene I first noticed that Arthur Volupides was lying on his back with his legs on the stairs. I also saw that he was formally dressed. The carpet was still neat and nothing on the wall was out of place. Something else that stuck out to me was that Mr. Volupides clothes weren’t messed up at all and he was perfectly positioned. He still had his glass in his hand, and it wasn’t broken or cracked at all. Also the glass was in his left hand. Right before I was about to conclude my investigation I noticed that in the kitchen there was food cooking on the stove.The autopsy states that Arthur died from a wound on the head and confirmed that he had been drunk Because of this evidence, I have concluded that Arthur’s wife, Queenie …show more content…

If he had fallen down the stairs his head would have been more likely to been on the staircase rather than his legs. If he was falling he probably would have tried to catch himself thus causing him to drop the glass and break it. Even if he was still holding the glass and trying to catch himself at the same time the wall decor would have been moved or even broken if he reached for it. Surely if he was falling from the top of the stairs the carpet would have been messed up. Another thing that supports my case is the fact that Mr. Volupides is still formally dressed. This leads us to believe that he was also headed to the party with Mrs. Volupides. The detail that really proves Queenie is lying is that Arthur’s glass is in his left hand. If would have been walking down the stairs his glass would have been in his right hand and his left hand would have been on the rail. Because he had his glass in his left hand I believe that he was headed up the stairs instead of down. This makes his clothes not being messed up and him landing on his back more reasonable. I believe that the frying pan caused the head injury that caused Mr. Volupides death. I think Queenie put the frying pan on the stove to burn away any evidence, and went to the party to use it as an alibi. Lastly she invited friends over to diminish any suspicion
