Tor a few minutes longer the
two men discussed the details
Of the crime, theorizing over
the bathing event Then Cas-
sidy entered.
y got the factory at Hartford on the
wire" he explained, land they gave
me MI. Maxim himself. He said this
was surely a special gun, which was
made Tor the use of Henry Sylvester,
one of the professors at Yale. He
wanted 1t for demonstration purposes.
Mr.. Maxim said the things have never
been put on the market. and that they
never viii be. got this man, Syl-
vester,o Cassidy went on, ION the
phone too. He says that his house was
robbed about eight weeks ago. and
among other things the silencer was
stolen"
Is there any chance that young Gil
der did shoot Griggs" asked Demer-
est.
You can search mel" the inspector
answered. "My men were just outside
the door of the room where Eddie
Griggs was shot to death. and none Of
'em heard a sound. It's that Internal
silencer thing. OF course. / know that
all the gang was in the house."
Did you see them go in?"
mo, / didn't. but Griggs'-
"Griggs is dead. Burke. You're up
against 1t. You can't prove that Car
son or Chicago Red or Dacey ever en-
tered that house."
We'll, then. I'll charge young Glider
with murder and call the Turner wo-
man as a Witness
You can't question her on the wit
ness stand. The law doesn't allow you
to make a wife testify against her hus-
band. No, Burke, your only chance OF
getting the murderer of Griggs is by
a confession
taThen I'll charge them both with
the murder" the Inspector growled
vindictdvely. And. by 49,. they'll.
both go to trial unless somebody comes
through. If it's my last act on earth.
I'm going to get the man who shot
Eddie Griggs."
Burke, after the lawyer had left him
watched the door expectantly for the
coming of Aggie Lynch. whom he had
ordered brought before him. But
when at last Dan appeared and stood
aside to permit her passing into the
Office, the inspector gasped at the I'M
expectedness of the vision. The next
instant the Inspector forgot his sur
prise in a sincere. almost ardent admi-
ration.
The girl was rather short, but of a
slender elegance OF form that was raw
ishing. Her costume had about it an
indubitable air. a fnality Of perfec-
ton in its kind. On another it might
have appeared perhaps the merest tri-
fe garish. But that fault was made
into a virtue by the correcting limo
ence of the girls face. 1t wa a child
fish face, childish in the exquisite
smoothness Of the soft, pink skin, child
ish in the wondering stare OF the blue
eyes. now SO widely opened in dismay.
childish in the wistful dropping Of the
rosebud mouth.
Now, then. my girl. Burke said
roughly. 81 want to know
There anne a change. wrought in
the twinkling of an eye. The tiny.
trinity shod foot of the girl rose and
fell in a wrathful stamp.
What do you mean by this out
rage?s she stormed. Her voice. was
low and rich. with a charming round
ness that seemed the very hallmark of
gentility. 81 demand my instant re-
lease"
Wait a minuter" Burke remonstrat-
ed. wait a minute!''
you watt" she cried violently.
.'Yon just wait. / tell you. until my
papa hears OF this!'
Who is your papag
Il shan't tell you.. came the petu-
liant retort from the girl. sYou would
probably give my name to the report
ers. If it ever got into the newspa-
pers my family would die OF shame!n
Now. the easiest way out for both
OF us is for you TO tell me inst who
you are. You see. young lady. you
were found in the house Of a notorious
crook.
"How perfectly absurd! ! was CALI
ing on Miss Mary Turner!.
"How did you come to meet her any
howg
II was introduced to Miss Turner
BY Mr.. Richard Glider. Perhaps you
have heard Of his father, the owner Of
the Emporium
ssoh. yes. I've heard Of his father and
of him too
Then you must e at once that you
are entirely mistaken In this matter.
You see, young lady. the factsis that
even IL you were introduced to Miss
Turner by young Mr.. Glider this same
Mary Turner herself is an ex-convtct,
and she's Just been arrested for muir
der.
.Murder.'. the girl gasped.
Eyes. You see, II there's q mistake
about you you don't want It to go any
