Evidence of Hildegarde Schmidt
Hildegarde Schmidt, Princess Dragomiroff's maid, testifies she was summoned at about 12:45 AM, attended to her mistress, and returned to her compartment. She describes encountering a small, dark man in Wagon Lit uniform in the corridor—a man who is not any of the three conductors. This corroborates Hardman's description of the supposed assassin.
