Felderson that's wanted," Annie said with just a touch of asperity. "Yes, you two better stay here and amuse each other," said Jim. "Bupps, you carve!" "If Bupps carves, I'm sure to be amused," laughed Mary. Jim left, and I went around to his place. If there is one thing I do more badly than another, it is carving.
Let's take Zalnitch first, for I think suspicion falls the slightest on him. You say that Felderson helped to convict Zalnitch in the Yellow Pier case and that he made vague threats against those who had put him in prison, after he was released. Good! There's a motive and a threat. He was seen on the same road that Mr. Felderson traveled, a short time before the murder.
"I'd rather not go on," I interrupted, looking out of the window to escape Todd's searching eyes. There was a moment's silence, then Simpson spoke. "We'll do our best but it will be a hard fight. If Mrs. Felderson could only recall what happened that night and before, we might have a chance, but every woman that has come up for murder during the last few years, has worked that lost memory gag."
"What were those reservations?" "That there should be nothing in Mr. Woods' past that could cause Mrs. Felderson trouble in the future, in case she married Woods." "Did Mr. Woods know of Mr. Felderson's intention not to divorce Mrs. Felderson?" he demanded. "I don't know. I know that Mr. Felderson had made an important discovery about Mr. Woods' past life."
With labor's new power, due to the fear of Bolshevism, they were again bringing influence to bear on the governor. Wicks had removed the soup plates and was bringing in the roast, when Annie appeared. The girl was both frightened and angry. "Mr. Felderson?" Jim looked up. "What is it, Annie?" "Will you come up-stairs, please, sir?" Mary pushed back her chair, "I'll go, Jim." "It's Mr.
Half the time I thought he wasn't listening, until a quick question would show his interest. Todd, on the contrary, was the picture of attention. He took notes in shorthand most of the time I was talking. When I had finished, Simpson rose and came over to me. "Let's examine this thing from the start. You have three people who had a motive for killing Felderson Zalnitch, Woods and Mrs. Felderson.
The coroner demurred for a moment, pleading important business, but when he heard I had proof that would clear Mrs. Felderson, he, too, promised to be with me in a few minutes. Wicks, who had been listening, was so excited that he momentarily forgot himself and clutched me by the arm as I put down the receiver. "Is it true, sir, that you can prove Mrs.
"Because Mr. Woods called Mr. Felderson up shortly after the discovery was made and asked for an interview at the country-club." "Was Mr. Felderson on his way to that meeting when he met his death?" the attorney queried. "Yes," I responded. "Do you know whether Mr. Felderson intended to inform Woods that he would not divorce Mrs. Felderson?"
All those facts point to Zalnitch's complicity. But the bullet that killed Felderson was fired from behind and above, according to the coroner's statement. Knowing the average juryman, I should say that we would have to stretch things pretty far to make him believe that a shot fired from one rapidly moving automobile at another rapidly moving automobile would ricochet and kill a man.
Felderson is dead, and Mrs. Felderson is dying," he said. Have you ever had the whole world stop for you? Well, that's what happened when that young interne told me that Jim was dead. I must have been half mad for a few moments, at least they said I acted that way.
