Roaring Twenties: case 2

This Easy case seats 16 suspects on a 4×4 grid. 13 of them carry a clue; the other 3 only have something to say about themselves. Every step can be proven from a single clue plus what you already know. Case 2 of the Roaring Twenties case pack, and one of its free cases. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
