Every judge, active and retired, is entitled to a permit to carry a weapon, and I long ago availed myself of the privilege. Nor am I about to make a confession of murder!" "There ain't no permit, so far as I know, Judge," Strawn growled, "for any man, whoever he may be God A'mighty himself not excepted to tote a gun with a silencer on it."
"Doesn't it seem rather strange that a professional gunman should have chosen such a time with men arriving in cars, and the house full of women who might wander into this room at any minute to bump off his victim?" Dundee asked. "Well, there ain't no other explanation," Captain Strawn contended.
Permit me to show you all how that murder was accomplished!" A chair at the bridge table was overturned. Lois Dunlap almost choked on her drink of Scotch. Women screamed. In a few seconds every person in the living room, including the district attorney and Strawn, was huddled in the wide opening into the dining room, their eyes fixed in horror upon Bonnie Dundee.
"Miles, victim of a deep-rooted sexual inferiority complex, must have felt sure that Flora, on discovering she was not legally married, would snatch at the chance to marry Sprague which was of course what Sprague had planned in case Nita published the truth." "But you were wrong about the secret shelf! The gun was never there!" Strawn gloated. "No.
"But where's the gun?" Strawn argued. "I tell you my men " "This was a premeditated murder, of course," Dundee interrupted. "The Maxim silencer unless they are all lying about not hearing a shot proves that. Silencers are damned hard to get hold of, but people with plenty of money can manage most things.
"Now, doctor, from your calculations, would it be possible for a man crouching in the open window to fire a shot along the path you have calculated?" "It would," Dr. Price answered. "But as I have pointed out, it is impossible for me to say at exactly what distance from the body the shot was fired." But Strawn, of course, was amply satisfied.
I have six possible suspects, all of whose names I know, and you have only one whose name you do not know, and whose motive you can only guess at, while I have a perfectly good motive that might fit any one of my six blackmail!" "Is that so?" Strawn growled. "I'm not telling the papers everything, and if they are satisfied to call these murders 'crimes passionnels, it's all right with me.
Strawn was, he declares, not in the clique who favored a revolution. Mr. Strawn was subsequently arrested, but he was soon released, and freely communicated truthful information to the authorities. During the summer an event truly unfortunate for the Sons of Liberty took place, it being an expose in the Chicago Tribune of the signs, grips, passwords, &c. of the order.
Dundee interrupted curtly, and hurried from the room, followed by Strawn, who nodded to Sergeant Turner, still lounging wearily in a far corner of the living room, to stand guard vigilantly. "Well, Bonnie, here's the devil to pay," Strawn gloomed, but Dundee made for the telephone without answering. He called a number, then curtly demanded: "Dr.
Dundee asked, and was instantly sorry he had reminded his former chief of the collapse of his cherished and satisfying theory. "Plenty," Strawn answered gruffly. "How many will you need?" "Enough to keep every person on Mr. Sanderson's invitation list under strictest observation until the pot boils over," Dundee replied. "When do you want them to get on the job?"
