About uncle John’s behaviours (part 5)

[Franz]

This is from Mrs. Churchill’s Inquest testimony (p. 130):

Q: About what time in the order of events did he (Morse) come?
A: Both Mr. and Mrs. Borden had been found when he came. I think I was the first one that let him in. I says, “Mr. Morse, something terrible has happened, someone has killed both Mr. and Mrs. Borden.” He says, “what”, and hollered “Lizzie”, as loud as he could holler, and rushed into the dining room. Alice heard him, and I think let him in, and he went into the sitting room and the door was closed between the sitting room and the kitchen.

This is from Alice Russell’s Inquest testimony (p. 148):

A: I got Lizzie into the dining room, on to the dining room lounge, and we were there, I don’t know how long, when her Uncle came in.

So if these testimonies are reliable, we can say that Lizzie (with Alice) was in the dining room when Morse came in. Mrs. Churchill testified that Morse “hollered “Lizzie”, as loud as he could holler, and rushed into the dining room”. Morse’s hollering (as loud as he could) Lizzie’s name means he was very worried for Lizzie, and rushed into the dining room where Lizzie was. So we expect – at least I expect – that Morse, after rushing into the dining room, should have reached directly Lizzie, maybe taken her hands in his, looked at her carefully, and asked her something. But …

This is from Morse’s preliminary hearing (p. 245):

Q (Knowlton): Did you see Miss Lizzie when you got there?
A: After I had been in the house two or three minutes, I saw her.
Q: Where did you see her then?
A: In the dining room, sitting on the lounge.
Q: Did you have any talk with her then?
A: A very little, just spoke to her, and that was all.
Q: What did you say to her?
A: I cannot tell. I might have said, for God’s sake, how did this happen? Or something like that.
Q: You do not remember of any reply she made?
A: No sir.
Q: You saw the bodies?
A: I saw Mr. Borden’s as I passed through. I went in there and saw him laying on the sofa. I went part way up the stairs. I did not go into the room at all, looked under the bed, and saw Mrs. Borden lying there.
Q: What did you do then?
A: I went down stairs, and that is the time I met Miss Lizzie.
Q: That is the time you told about when you saw her?
A: Yes sir.

According to the testimony of Morse himself, after entering (“rushing” according to Mrs. Churchill) into the dining room, he didn’t stop to meet Lizzie at all. He began with hollering Lizzie’s name and finished with meeting her only after his “two bodies tour” in the house. And when he met her, what he said to her is just only “for God’s sake, how did this happen?” something we had heard him say to Mr. Sawyer outside of the house. He didn’t ask her – as many others did – “Where were you when this happened?”, “What were you doing?” “Didn’t you hear any noise?”, etc. Outside of the house, Morse didn’t ask nothing! In front of Lizzie, he didn’t ask nothing! Nothing!

Isn’t all this a little odd? What do you think?
