The 4th Victim:
From the 1945 version |
Rogers in the 1989 version where he was renamed Elmo Rogers (here he is currently about to die)
Description:
We first get a glance of him when the guests first arrive and he serves them throughout their meals. He's a man who speaks a few words never uttering more than one sentence unless needed.
Accused of:
During the gramophone session, him and his wife are accused of withholding medicine from their former employer and as a result causing the old woman's death. And therefore they were able to claim the inheritance they knew the old woman had left them.
Death by:
Soon after the gramophone stops playing, his wife faints and he calmly takes her back to their room to rest. As the bodies begin piling up, Mr.Rogers stays calm/collected and continues to be a loyal butler. One morning he goes out and suddenly goes missing. The others later find him outside in the woodshed dead and with an extensive head injury/a bloody axe next to him(the verse below describes his death)
"Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six."
Wargrave's Confession: Wargrave's letter reveals that Mr.Rogers was up and early in the morning chopping firewood. He stated that it was quite easy to kill him by striking his head with an axe.
