Puzzles for the High IQ

My brother got this from the library and it's one of the most puzzling (no pun intended) books I've ever looked through. Here's an easy one I couldn't even get:

Sherlock Holmes was relaxing in his study when, suddenly, a snowball struck one of the windows overlooking the street below, causing it to shatter. Quickly, he went over to the window to investigate and, looking out, just caught sight of the Willoughby triplets, Danny, Mark, and Oliver, disappearing rapidly round a street corner. The next morning he recerived this anonymous message:

|-------------------------------|
|? Willoughby. I am certain
|he broke your window.
|-------------------------------|

According to this, which one of the triplets should he question about the incident?

Try to figure it out. If you guys enjoy solving this puzzle maybe I'll post more

the only thing I can think of is that two of the names must be ambiguous and are girls, but only Danny could really be a girls name as far as the obvious. Other than that?

That's a tough one. I'm stumped...post more though. Here's one I know from memory.

A man lies dead in a field. Next to him lies an unopened package. How did he die?

The "?" is a "question mark"
Therefore, he should "Question mark" Willoughby.

The three triplets were Danny, Mark, and Oliver.

the note exactly read:

? Willoughby. I am certain
he broke your window.

Read the question mark as the words "question mark", and not as a symbol to represent a blank. That way, it reads:

Question Mark Willoughby. I am certain
he broke your window.
