What are the effects of the gramophone announcement on the guests
The voice charges the guests with a list of indictments. Each guest is named and then implicated in the murder of a person. When the voice ends, there is a scream and the sound of someone falling. Mrs. Rogers had fainted upon hearing the voice read her name. In the next room, the guests find a gramophone with a record on it. When they play the record, they again hear the voice. Mr. Rogers had been the one to play the record, but he swears he had only done in on the instructions of Mr. Owen. Each guest then gives their story of how they were invited to the island. Mr. Justice Wargrave notes that the initials of their host, U.N. Owen, is a puzzle--it stands for "UNKNOWN!" The judge tells them that a homicidal lunatic may have called them to the island.
