wore a happier look, and about Cor

"Who is Mr.. Kent"
He owns the Granddeck. He had

While his answer seemed to satisfy
the district attorney, was convinced
from Wick's nervousness that he was
cOncealing something, that further
questioning into his past might lead
to unexpected developments.
"Are you acquainted with the de-
fendant?"
Very slightly"
How long have you known him."
I was listening intentIy. Would he
admit knowing that l was a relative
of old Rufus CASTOR?
Il don't really know him." Wick ex-
planned. I've seen him two or three
times. Mr.. CASTOR, one of my ten
ants, told me that he was going away
and that he had given the key of his
apartment to a young man named
Nelson whom he had employed as
caretaker. He said that the care
taker would arrive at ten o'clock on
the Sunday morning that the Gastons
went away"
And did the defendant arrive at
that time-at the time he was ex-
pected?"

my attention to him was that he
sneaked into the building earlier than
he was expected"

trict attorneys voice expressed prop

by that"
Instead Of announcing his arrival,
he watched his chance and waited till
