The improvised newsboy had apparently stuck his head in the door as he had been instructed, for we could hear them greet him with a growl, until he yelled lustily, "Extry, special extry! All about the big gambling exposure! Warrants out! Extry!" "Hey, you kid," came a voice from the detectaphone, "let's see that paper. What is it the Star? Well, I'll be ! Read that.
Your gambling and vice and graft exposures have made all of them so wary that they won't pass a bill from their right to their left pockets for fear it is marked." Carton laughed. "Well, you are a brand new combination against them. Let me see; you want suggestions. Kennedy shook his head. "The detectaphone is all right, as Dorgan knows. It might work again.
In the face of the box, just as in the other we had used, were two little square holes, with sides also of cedar, converging inward, making a pair of little quadrangular pyramidal holes which seemed to end in a small round black circle in the interior, small end. I said nothing, but I could see that it was a new form, to all intents and purposes, of the detectaphone which we had already used.
For one thing the dirt on the windows both of the garage and the tavern was so thick that I doubt whether so much caution was really necessary. Nevertheless, it was a relief when he secured the ends of the wires from the detectaphone and brought them up, pulling in the rope ladder after him.
I'll let you know. In the meantime, I want you to watch that place on Forty-seventh Street. Tell me if they make any move against it. Don't waste any time, either. I can't be out of touch with things the way I was the last time I went away. You see, they almost put one across on us in fact they did put one across with that detectaphone thing. Now, we can't let that happen again.
"That may be true," assented Seaton doubtfully, "but you want to remember that he knows more about electricity than the guy that invented it, and I'm not sure that he can't talk to a detectaphone and make it say anything he wants it to. Anyway, we can soon settle it.
In the room which we had used so much, we found the other detectaphone working splendidly. Garrick picked it up. By the sound, evidently, someone in the garage was overhauling a car. It may have been that they were fixing one up so that its rightful owner would never recognize it, or they may have been getting ready to take one out. There was no way of determining.
The trouble with it all is that they have made the thing so underground that no one but the principals know anything about it not even the agents. I guess you are right about the detectaphone." "To-day's the day, is it?" mused Craig. "So I understand." "I think I can get them with a new machine they never dreamed of," exclaimed Kennedy, who had been turning something over in his mind.
We can all hear at once what is going on by using this machine." We had not been waiting long before a peculiar noise seemed to issue from the detectaphone. It was as though a door had been opened and shut hastily. Some one had evidently entered the storeroom. A voice called up the railroad station and asked for Michael Kronski, Count Wachtmann's chauffeur.
Even though we gained no hint from Langhorne after the peculiar robbery of his safe, it was impossible to tell whether or not he still retained the detectaphone record. On the other hand, if Dorgan had obtained it by using the services of someone in the criminal hierarchy that Murtha had built up, it would not have been likely that we would have heard anything about it.
