"I...have a bit of a sleeping problem. Due to... Past experiences I often find myself awake an hour or so every night having trouble falling asleep. So I did go down to the kitchen for a bit to get a drink, but that's about it."
"So it was you who moved the poison into the conservatory..." Gunnarson said, eyeing him suspiciously
"Now hold on, I can explain..." Mr Ellis replied
"Please do"
"Well, after I had my first drink..."

"I decided to make myself some tea."
"Tea?"
"Yes. So I..."

"Got the tea leaves, boiled some water, and..."
"The poison" Gunnarson reminded him
"Oh, sorry. Anyway, while the tea was boiling I saw the bottle of poison on the shelf..."

"...and in my half-asleep state I took it out and read the warning labels and ingredients and such."
"And that was how you moved it?"
"Yes, I must have misplaced it when I put it back."

"So you more or less sleepwalked to the conservatory?" A confused Gunnarson asked

"What? No the poison was lying there on the kitchen shelf."
Gunnarson was taken aback.

"What are you talking about? The poison is in the conservatory now" Gunnarson pointed out

"Then something must be terribly off, " said Ellis.
Gunnarson decided that that was all he could glean from that so he decided to call down...

Ms Ellis, the butler's sister and the housekeeper/maid (whichever works better)
"Your brother already told me about how you got the job, but what i would like to ask you about is..."

"...what you were doing around 2-3 last night?"
"Oh that's simple enough, I was simply..."

"...sleeping, much like everyone else. I got up once or twice to check some things, but that was about it" she said.
"What kinds of things?" Gunnarson asked.
"As odd as this sounds... last night I heard some pretty unsettling noises?"
"Really?" Gunnarson asked.
"Yes, it all started a little after 1 a.m. I believe, when..."

"...I heard what I thought to be snoring, but then when I listened closely realized it sounded different. But it stopped when I opened my door."
"I see," said Gunnarson.

"I couldn't make sense of those noises; but could it have been the killer?"
"Perhaps, I will need to investigate more. Next, I need to ask you about..."

"...your brother. He confessed to moving the poison and-"
"What! Surely you don't suspect him!"

(I thought he said he didn't?)
"I have no choice but to suspect him until I find conclusive proof of his innocence. Which brings me to my next point..."

(Oh shoot, you're right.)
"WHY WERE YOU AND YOUR BROTHER IN LEAGUE TOGETHER TO KILL WALKER?!"
"What?! We weren't! Why are you-!!"
"Just seeing your reaction."

"I need to pursue everything I can think of; sorry about that" Gunnarson explained.
It was all he could get out of her, so he called in the next suspect- Colonel Brooks.
"Now Colonel, what were you doing last night between 2-3?"
"Sleeping; got up once or twice to use the bathroom, but that was it. Though I do feel there is something important I need to tell you..."

"And that is?"
"Well, when I came back from the bathroom, I..."

... Looked down the stairs and I could see movement. A lot of movement. At least four people. Couldn't make out who any of them were because it was so dark, but a lot of people were up at that time" he said. "Though I think the strangest part was..."

"...that they were all holding guns."
"Guns?"
"That's right. I even saw one of them holding my revolver, but I didn't realize it until now."
Suddenly Gunnarson got suspicious about the Colonel's story.
