Roaring Twenties: case 33

This Hard case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 16 of them carry a clue; the other 4 only have something to say about themselves. 6 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 33 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
