The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Red Seal by Natalie Sumner Lincoln: "How about suicides?"
"It is seldom, if ever, used for suicides." Stone spoke with more
assurance. "I have found in my practice, Kent, that suicides can
be classed as follows: drowning by the young, pistols by the adult,
and hanging by the aged; women generally prefer asphyxiation, using
illuminating gas. But this is beside the question, unless" - bending
a penetrating look at his companion -" unless you believe Jimmie
Turnbull committed suicide."
"That idea has occurred to me," admitted Kent. "But it doesn't
square with other facts which have developed, nor is it in keeping
with the character of the man."
