The story is about the investigation into the death of Mr. John Wright.
In those lines (1 through 5 that is), the conversation is between Mrs. Minnie Wright's neighbor Mrs. Lewis who was the first person to see Mr. Wright's body and the Court Attorney who had come to collect evidence against Mrs. Minnie.
