Roaring Twenties: case 36

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 21 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 36 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
