Clue
THE BUTLER DID IT. MR. ELLIS KNEW THE BUTLER WAS LYING BECAUSE PAGES 35 AND 36 IN A BOOK ARE ALWAYS PRINTED ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER
"EACH" WAS THE NAME OF ONE OF THE TWELVE MEN PASSING BY
EACH IS THE NAME OF ONE OF THE MEN, AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT TOOK A PEAR
THERE WERE FOUR PEARS (2 PAIRS) ON THE TREE. THE FIRST MAN TOOK A PAIR (2 PEARS) AND THE SECOND ONLY TOOK ONE PEAR LEAVING ONE PEAR ON THE TREE
