John Stevenson was wearing orange shoes. The murderer was wearing blue shoes, so John Stevenson is not the murderer.
The suspect who was wearing black shoes was carrying a purple umbrella. The suspect who is 5 feet 3 inches tall was carrying a purple umbrella. The suspect who is 5 feet 3 inches tall is not the one who was wearing an orange shirt. Therefore, one suspect was carrying a purple umbrella, was wearing black shoes, is 5 feet 3 inches tall, and is not the one who was wearing an orange shirt. But Brian Davis was carrying a red umbrella, Jim Brown was wearing an orange shirt, Bob Smith is 5 feet 9 inches tall, and John Stevenson was wearing orange shoes. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Jack Edison. Since Jack Edison was wearing black shoes, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who was carrying a white umbrella is 6 feet tall. The suspect who was wearing blue shoes was carrying a white umbrella. Therefore, one suspect is 6 feet tall, was carrying a white umbrella, and was wearing blue shoes. Brian Davis was carrying a red umbrella, Bob Smith is 5 feet 9 inches tall, John Stevenson was wearing orange shoes, and Jack Edison was wearing black shoes. Therefore, that one suspect is Jim Brown. Since the murderer was wearing blue shoes and Jim Brown was wearing blue shoes, he is the murderer.
