Victorian London: case 26

This Hard case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 15 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 4 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 26 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
