                        WITNESS             Part One 
 
This walkthru will help you to finish "Witness."  This game is a much  
simpler one than "Deadline," so I hope you won't be disappointed when you  
see how easy it is to solve this mystery.  
 
Okay, you start South of the house, where you just picked up a matchbook.   
<By the way, none of the stuff that came with the game is really necessary  
to solving the case>.  Go North twice to the front door and ring the bell.   
Phong will let you in.  Then just try to go East, and Phong will lead you to  
the Living Room, where Monica and Mr.  Linder are.  
 
Now, wait <get used to doing that, because there's a lot of waiting in this  
one>, and Linder will eventually take you to his office.  Sit down in the  
wooden chair, and Linder will hand you a note.  Read it, as it will help  
waste some time.  Now, just do anything <but stay seated!> to make time  
pass.  Show the matchbook to Linder for an interesting reaction, if you  
like.  In any case, you just have to keep waiting.  
 
Eventually, Monica will come in briefly to announce she's going to the  
movies.  This is not what you're waiting for, however! So, keep on waiting,  
and finally, the murder will occur. Linder will be shot while you sit there,  
and you can't stop it from happening.  Read the description carefully at the  
moment the shot is fired. There's something odd about it. In fact, the whole  
thing is a setup.  
 
The first thing to do is stand up, then push the button. Instead of ringing  
to summon the butler, it causes a strange click to be heard from the clock.   
At this point, Phong will enter the room.  Tell him you want the keys, and  
he'll hand them over to you.  Now, examine the clock.  Keyhole seems a  
little strange, doesn't it?  The doorbell rings while you're doing this, so  
as Phong goes to answer the door, examine the keyhole.  
 
 
                            WITNESS      PART  2 
 
I'll bet you're getting some ideas already!  However, you'll need to have  
the powder analyzed, and Duffy hasn't arrived yet, so wait around until he  
does.  Then get the powder analzyed <you can ignore Stiles, he's only a red  
herring>.  While that's being done, examine the window <you can't open the  
clock yet, it's the one key you don't have>. The green wire seems  
suspicious, so get it for future reference.  
 
Now, go West into the Hallway, then North twice, and open the Butler's door.   
Go West into the room, and read the mystery book <by the way, you can drop  
the telegram and note, they aren't important>.  A gun receipt is used as a  
bookmark.  The purchaser's name is obviously phoney, but hang on to the  
receipt anyway.  
 
Okay, from the Butler's Room, go East twice to Monica's room, then unlock  
and open the back door.  Go East into the Backyard, then South twice to the  
office path.  Aha, a muddy gun!  No fingerprints, alas, but you might want  
to take it along with you, just in case.  Now, go West into the Side Yard.  
 
Hmm, more footprints here, but they aren't quite the same as the ones on the  
office path.  In fact, it looks like someone was standing here for awhile.  
Wonder who it might have been? <No, *not* Sergeant Duffy!>. Anyway, go West  
again to the driveway, then North and East into the Garage.  
 
Unlock and open both the garage door and the workshop door, then go East  
into the Workshop.  The place looks like an electrician's paradise, and  
there isn't much you can do here; but, there are spools of wire hanging  
around.  Could it be...?  Examine spool, and you have established a link of  
sorts between this place and the study.  The green wire is obviously from  
this room.  Now, all you need is the person who put it there.  
 
 
                       WITNESS            Part Three 
 
You now stand there waiting for Monica.  Just keep waiting; she'll arrive  
<saying "Wait for Monica" is easiest.  It will take a while, so if you want  
to hunt down Phong and ask him about the gun receipt, you have time>.  When  
she does get there, she'll fiddle briefly with the junction box <very  
suspicious!> before noticing you.  Now, wait until she leaves, then follow  
her.  You *must* use directions here, just saying "Follow Monica" won't  
work.  
 
Follow her all the way to her room, and wait for her to come back out of the  
bathroom.  When she returns, ask her about Mr. Linder.  Her response will  
establish the motive.  Now, wait some more, and she will eventually leave  
the room. Follow her again, this time to the office.  
 
As soon as you get in there, handcuff her.  Somewhere along the way, Sgt.   
Duffy will have left with the body, so you can't arrest her until he comes  
back. In the meantime, you have to find some very important evidence.  So,  
first search Monica for the key.  When you get it, unlock the clock and open  
it.  She's already removed the gun, but you can search her for that, also.  
 
Now, just wait until Duffy returns, and arrest her for the murder.  And that  
should be about it.  By the way, if you try leaving her and waiting in the  
office <so you can find the gun in the clock>, you'll find that, however  
hard you try, you won't be able to handcuff her <which is necessary so she  
can be searched>.  So, you'll just have to wait and follow her.  As I said  
in the beginning, it's a pretty simple game.
