Jim Davis was carrying a yellow umbrella. The murderer was carrying a red umbrella, so Jim Davis is not the murderer.
The suspect who was carrying a red umbrella is 5 feet tall. The suspect who is 5 feet tall owns a white car. The suspect who owns a white car has a wife named Sally. Therefore, one suspect is 5 feet tall, was carrying a red umbrella, owns a white car, and has a wife named Sally. But Marty Brown is 6 feet 2 inches tall, Jack Smith has a wife named Betty, Bob Edison owns a red car, and Jim Davis was carrying a yellow umbrella. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is John Martin. Since this suspect, John Martin, was carrying a red umbrella and the murderer was carrying a red umbrella, he is the murderer.
