Is there a difference in *meaning* between these two sentences? I cannot
detect any, beyond the possible number of theives in each one.
It looks to me like in the second part in English, "Paris knows who took the
money," "who" is a shortened version of "the person who." I don't think this
is a question as object sentence, even in English. It's not "Paris knows (who
took the money)," it's "Paris knows [the person (who took the money)]."
