Evidence of the Wagon Lit Conductor

Pierre Michel testifies that he last saw Ratchett alive at 12:37 AM, when he answered the bell. He confirms he was in the Athens coach for about ten minutes after 1:00 AM, then answered Mrs. Hubbard's bell. He saw a woman in a scarlet kimono in the corridor. Poirot notes that Michel's account matches the timeline but leaves gaps.
