Note from the court clerk

Nine strips came out of the office wastebasket. Tap one strip, then another, to swap their places; when the line lines up, it reads itself. Watch the ruled line and the letters cut by the edge.

And watch out: one of the nine isn't from this document. Put it in the discard envelope before you call the paste-up good.

Nine strips on the table, in the order they came out.

THE PRINT SHOP'S WASTEBASKET

Someone ran a document through the shredder the same night as the fire, but the strips stayed in the office wastebasket. They are all mixed up, and one of them does not even belong to the same paper. Put them in order, set the intruder aside, and read what they did not want read.
