THE SILENT CHAPEL
Decode each statement, then name the one liar. The cipher is the same for all five.
INCIDENT REPORT. Reuben Lound, organ master to the parish, was found dead in the gun room of Sefton Hall in the small hours, the cabinet forced and a fowling piece missing from the rack. The gale had blown since dusk. One fact stands settled: the chapel bell-rope was found cut through before evensong, the frayed end photographed by the constable, and the bell hung mute in its tower. The chapel bell rang for no one that night. Five slept under the Hall's roof. One account will not hold.
Small numbers count each symbol's appearances.
