80 you were to go to Mrs. Hood:
house and get Critics there!"
81 was to use a woman's plan"
"What is a woman's plan?"
"Well, Dolan told me to get Critics

"You entered into scheme with
Mrs. Hood and Critics TO get little

"No, | did what Fisher and Winck-
Ter did to hold the party"
"You took the money OF ,.2 detec-

to betray them"
Il knew that it was blackmail as
soon as Dolan made his suggestion
to me about Critics"
Mrs. Phelps made good witness
and refused to be shaken, although
her answers at times were not spon-

testimony that she knew Harvey
Wolfe spoke to Maloney over the
phone from Wolf's office regard
ing this case. Although she heard
Wolf address some one by the name
OF Steve, she said the circumstances
of the occasion caused her to know
Maloney was on the other end OF the

using the name OF Clara Watson,
knew Roy Swanson and Grover Bino,
but did not know Bob Holloway,

who could tell me of Critics being
Mrs. HIS steady man."
The manner in which Mrs. Phelps
played Winckler as a pawn amused
the crowd, She contemptuously re-
ferred to Wincklers' operations as il
he we're rank amateur at the detec-
tive game compared to her apparent
consummate skill
