Felderson have a revolver like this?" he demanded. "Yes." "Do you know whether he was carrying it at the time of the tragedy?" "I'm not sure," I stated. "Did Mr. Felderson usually carry a gun?" "No." "Did Mrs. Felderson have a revolver?" "No," I replied, "I don't think she even knows how to use one." "Please only answer my questions!" Kirkpatrick rebuked me sharply.
She was your bridesmaid, don't you remember?" Helen shook her head weakly. "I have been married, then?" she asked. "You were married to James Felderson. Can't you remember him?" I begged. Again she shook her head. "No. It's all gone." She thought hard a minute, then she asked: "He is dead my husband?" "Yes," I muttered, trying to keep the tears back, "he was killed in the same accident "
Felderson's doctor assures me she is out of danger. The trial needn't come off for three or four months six if you wish. We can see to that. In the meantime, when will you be able to see Mrs. Felderson?" "I was going up there now," I answered. "The chances are the doctor won't let me question her yet, but it may be we can see her. Will you come with me?" "I'd like very much to.
"You have stated to the jury that Mr. Woods had threatened Mr. Felderson's life in case he did not give Mrs. Felderson a divorce. When did Mr. Felderson intend giving his wife the promised divorce?" "I don't think he really intended to give Mrs. Felderson a divorce." "But you stated that he consented to a divorce?" "He did, but with certain reservations," I answered.
He lit a cigar and threw himself into a chair. "Well, let's go on. Woods had all the motive necessary for killing Felderson. He made a definite engagement with Felderson on the night of the murder, to meet him at a certain time and place specified by Woods. That's important.
"Inspector," I said, "I am fully convinced that the men in the black limousine are responsible for my brother-in-law's accident." "What makes you think that?" he demanded, eying me narrowly. "Because all of them had reason to hate and fear my brother-in-law. Zalnitch, since his release, has sworn he would get even with Mr. Felderson for putting him in prison. Metzger felt the same way.
He glanced over at Helen, who was sobbing on the sofa. "Two of you eh? A frame-up." All the hatred in the world gleamed in his eyes, as he looked at Jim. "If you don't let Helen come to me, Felderson, I'll kill you; so help me God, I'll kill you!" Then he picked up his coat and hat and walked out of the room. Jim went slowly to the door and into the hall. He looked tired and old.
Hearing steps outside, I turned to see the object of my mental attentions walk into the room. "You here, Woods?" I queried. "Yes. Those admirable servants of your sister's gave the police just enough of the vulgar details of that meeting between Felderson and myself to make them think I well, they ordered me to report and here I am." He looked worried and irritable.
You cain't catch me up no mo'. I saw Mistuh Woods at eight twenty-fahv exackly." I handed him a bill and went into the bar. Grogan, the old bartender was there alone. "Grogan, do you remember who was in the bar between seven-thirty and eight-thirty on the night of the Felderson murder?" "Only one or two of the gentlemen, sir. There was Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Brown and I think Mr. Woods."
"Hi think they do, sir, seein' as 'ow Mrs. Felderson 'as been actin' and talkin' so queer." "What do you mean?" I demanded. Wicks struggled for composure. The subject was evidently most distasteful to his conservative and conventional British nature. "Hit was Annie, Mrs. Felderson's maid, sir, that hupset the servants. W'en she came down from hup-stairs, she said as 'ow Mrs.
