The Major in the Kitchen — The Night Wendell Pruitt’s Story Fell Apart
“He may.
But you heard what he said.”
Our attorney returned the call by midmorning.
Her name was Miriam Stone, and her first questions concerned Ruth’s immediate safety, whether Wendell had any ownership interest in the property, and whether anyone had signed financial agreements under pressure.
We arranged an appointment for Monday.
In the meantime, she advised us not to confront him about suspected accounts, not to change ownership records ourselves, and not to make any promises about money.
She suggested gathering documents through lawful access, using a neutral witness if Ruth needed belongings from the house.
