In the original, social-climbing Clyde Griffiths is accused of drowning his pregnant girlfriend so he can marry a socialite.

Veterans returned to Richard s Coffee Shop Thursday.
It was Thursday, and the parking lot was filled, laughter could be heard in the building and the room buzzed with the excitement as those inside were seeing one another after 13 months of being separated. This was the scene at Richardâs Coffee Shop in downtown Mooresville, exactly one year and one month since the pandemic caused them to cease gathering.
Smiles were evident on the faces as veterans and family members returned. Shouts of greetings could be heard and soon each took their places at the tables and were able to catch up and fellowship with their comrades-in-arms. Free coffee was available, and food was provided by the Blue Star Mothers, who normally feed those who gather every Thursday before a holiday. This was a âwelcome back eventâ the ladies said.
