Page "Shadow of a Doubt" Paragraph 6

Under pressure from his niece, Uncle Charlie announces he is leaving by train for San Francisco, accompanied by a rich local widow.

He contrives for young Charlie to stay on board the departing train, planning to kill her by pushing her out once the train gets up to speed.

Instead, in the ensuing struggle between them, he is pushed into the path of an oncoming train.

At his funeral Uncle Charlie is highly honored by the townspeople of Santa Rosa, who know nothing of his crimes.

Jack returns to comfort Charlie, and she tells him she had withheld from him information about her uncle which would have confirmed him as the murderer.

Jack and young Charlie resolve to keep Uncle Charlie's crimes secret.
