"I thought there was something about the business I ought to tell Stella," he answered, finally. "Manton Pictures is pretty shaky." "Oh! Then Manton wasn't talking for effect when he told Miss Faye that the company was broke?" "No, indeed! In fact, didn't Enid make her agreement with Manton personally? That's what I advised her to do." Kennedy nodded. "But is Manton himself financially sound?"
More" I began to get excited "he was lying on the floor close to her in the scene and could have jabbed her with a needle very easily, and and he was extremely nervous when you questioned him, the most nervous of all, and and, finally, he had a motive, he wanted to get Enid Faye with Manton Pictures, as this note shows." "Very good, Walter." Kennedy's eyes were dancing in amusement.
Kennedy looked at me, but I shook my head. "What is 'Fortune Features'?" Kennedy asked the question of Millard. "Just another company in which Manton has an interest," he replied, casually. "That was why I said I advised that Enid make her contract personally with Manton. If Manton Pictures goes up, then he will have to swing her into Fortune Features the other Manton enterprise, don't you see?"
Under his arm was a reel of film in a can. He clutched it almost fondly. "All ready!" he remarked, to Kennedy. Kennedy's face was unrevealing as he faced Manton. "This bit of film is valuable evidence also. I think perhaps it would be safer in that locker." "Anything at all we can do to help," stated Manton, promptly. "Shall I show you the way again?"
"It's a coca preparation," he explained. "If Werner uses this, he's unquestionably a regular drug addict." "Well," I paused, triumphantly, "the case against the chief director of Manton Pictures grows stronger all the time." "Not necessarily," contradicted Kennedy, perhaps to draw me out. "He's familiar with hypodermic syringes," I repeated. "Which doesn't prove that no one else would use one."
The native courage of the man must be tempered, ground and polished. On land it is the massing of numbers that accomplishes the result the accumulation of vital forces and intelligence upon the objective point. The innumerable threads of individual enterprise, like the twist of a Manton barrel, give the toughest tensile power.
Wait till you get him on the cowcatcher of your Manton, anti then break it to him gently. "'And, Mr. Collenquest, I said, 'if you should really think it awfully low and horrid of me to do this I won't do it. "'My dear little girl, he returned, 'get that out of your head right here.
Manton Marble early in August published a carefully prepared letter on the electoral counting of 1876. Mr. Marble was unsparing in his denunciation of the Republicans for having, as he alleged, obtained the election of Hayes and Wheeler by corruption in the Southern States. He dealt with unction upon the fact that the absolute trust of Mr.
In the manuscript Miss Lamar is supposed to have a peculiar pendant at her throat. There was none." "Oh yes!" The promoter remained a moment in thought. "The doctor took it off and gave it to Bernie, the prop. boy, who's helping the electrician." "Is he outside?" "Yes." "Now try to remember, Mr. Manton." Kennedy leaned over very seriously.
Neither Watkins nor Penny were able to add anything to the facts which Kennedy had gleaned from Manton and Werner. When he had finished his patient examination of the junior camera man he recalled Watkins and had both, under his eyes, close and seal the film cartridges which contained the photographic record of the thirteen scenes. Dismissing the men, he handed the two black boxes to Mackay.
