Roaring Twenties: case 29

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 18 of them carry a clue; the other 7 only have something to say about themselves. 7 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 29 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
