Roaring Twenties: case 39

This Nightmare case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 19 of them carry a clue; the other 6 only have something to say about themselves. 11 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 39 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
