In Act 2, the only suspicion of Macbeth that arises comes
            from Macduff.  In Scene 4, the very end of Act 2, Rosse, Macduff, and the Old Man
            discuss the murder of Duncan and the flight of Malcolm and Donalbain.  They discuss the
            fact that the other noblemen suspect the king's sons of foul play because they have fled
            Scotland and now look guilty; however, Macduff does not agree.  When asked whether he
            will go to Scone to see Macbeth's coronation, Macduff replies that he will not go and
            will instead return to his home in Fife.  This is an outright act of defiance on the
            part of Macduff who as a nobleman would likely be expected to attend the ceremony.  So,
            Macduff's actions suggest that he does not trust Macbeth.
