Meredith Bay was found dead in her study by Mr. Moorland. The sweater she was knitting for her friend James Moorland lay on the floor covered with blood. Mr. Moorland recounted his dismal discovery to Lt. Hugh Dunnit. "I was walking by Miss Bay's house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I knew that she was knitting a sweater for me and I wanted to see how it was coming along. I noticed her study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if she was in there knitting. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw her body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." Lt. Dunnit immediately arrested Mr.Moorland for the murder of Miss Bay. How did he know Mr. Moorland was lying?
