"Who killed Arthur Shandon and robbed him of twenty-five thousand dollars? If Helga Strawn came into court and told all that she knows do you realise what a jury would say about it?" "The things you are saying are lies," he cried back at her, driving his hands into his pockets that she might not see that they were shaking.
With no more than the lifting of an eyebrow, Dundee made Captain Strawn understand that Flora Miles' movements were to be kept under strict observation, and the chief of the Homicide Squad as unobtrusively conveyed the order to a plainclothesman loitering interestedly in the wide doorway.
"I hope you'll be willing to take full credit for that fool bridge game, Bonnie," he worried. "I don't want to look a chump in the newspapers!" "I'll take the blame," Dundee assured him, with a grin. "But that 'fool bridge game' and I admit it was a horrible thing to have to do told me a whole bunch of facts that ought to be very, very useful." "For instance?" Strawn growled.
"I think," he said quietly, for all the excitement that burned in his blue eyes, "that we'd better have Mrs. Miles in for a few questions." "What have you got there a dance program?" Strawn asked curiously, but as Dundee continued to stare silently at the thing he held, the older man strode to the door and relayed the order to a plainclothes detective. "I sent for Mrs.
"Took your time, didn't you, Bonnie?" Captain Strawn greeted his former subordinate on the Homicide Squad. "Doc says he's been dead between ten and twelve hours. Since it's nearly ten now, that means Sprague was killed some time between nine and eleven o'clock last night." "Better say between nine o'clock and midnight last night," Dr. Price suggested.
"It makes me very happy to have my two best friends meet." As they got in her electric runabout, Janet Strawn said, "Since dinner will not be served for two hours or more, let us drive in the park for a while." Gloria was pleased to see that Philip was interested in the bright, vivacious chatter of her friend, and she was glad to hear him respond in the same light strain.
"I was always straightening up the drawers in both her dressing-table and her desk, and she didn't keep the jewelry in either one of them places." "Captain Strawn, when you searched the dressing-table and desk for the gun or anything of importance, did you have any reason to suspect a secret drawer in either of them?" "No, Bonnie. They're just ordinary factory furniture.
For no further reason than that he might serve his country where best he could, he went into a fever-laden land and dug a mighty ditch, bringing together two great oceans and changing the commerce of the world." Philip and Mr. Strawn oftentimes discussed the mental and moral upheaval that was now generally in evidence. "What is to be the outcome, Philip?" said Mr. Strawn.
Whom did Mrs. Dunlap talk to at Headquarters?" "Why, Captain Strawn, of course," Miles answered. "He told Lois that you were still out here, questioning Lydia again, and that it was all right with him, whatever you decided. So as soon as I had finished eating, I drove over " "Is Mrs. Miles with you?" Dundee interrupted again. "Well, no," Miles admitted uncomfortably.
The sheriff's own personal opinion, known only to the sheriff, perhaps came as close to the truth as any man's. Of all the men and women who knew him, perhaps none evinced less concern in Wayne Shandon's fate than Helga Strawn. She had something else to do.
