 "Yes. Barry. I'm going to need you. You know the district attorney here, don't you?'
 Jack Gilbrcath? An old friend of mine"
 Well. come on, then. We're going down to see him. Be back later, Mothrr." he called,
 District Attorney Gilbreath was affability itself when Barry Colvin introduced Jimmy as his best friend. but a frown creased his brow when Barry explained what Jimmy want ed
 Impossible. Barry" he said. De tcctive Mooney was in to see me last evening. From what he told me, this woman Olga Maynard. If she isn't actually the murderer, Is certainly mixed up in it in some way. The orly way we'll ever run on to her partner is 10 keep her until she wears out and tells on him. They all do sooner or later.
 I'm about ready 70 20 to the grand jury now and ask for an in- dictment." he added. We want her here in Grafton"
 But you don't know it all" pro- tested Jimmy. He told Olga May nard's story of the headed man who had taken her to the cafe. Hes the man that registered at the Can field hctcl---I'll bet my life on it."
 Maybe that's all very true, Rand, but how do you know she isn't hold ing back his name? She might be afraid to tell on him"
 "Sht's telling the truth know it," Jimmy persisted. Just grant, | for the sake of argument, that her story is true. How would we ever run onto this fellow? If she's turned loose she probably will find him in i time. Chances are he's still in Bridgeport. cheerfully ignorant of the fact that we'ro looking for him"
 The district attorney picked up a glass paperweight and toyed with it thoughtfully. Rand" he said, we've got to make an arrest in this caBe-asidc from tho fact that it has to be cleaned up. I'm speaking from a selfish point of view. The town is worked up over it, and they look to the police and to me to clear 1t up.
 Suppose, now, that we let this Maynard woman loose and she cleared out, Why, I'd look like the biggest sucker in the world. I've got to think Of next November. you know. That's election time"
 "On the other hand" Barry put in, If she turns up this man, the case will be cleared up and you could run for governor. Remember this, Jack. All you've got on the woman is clrcumstantiai evidence Nobody's going to convict her"
 "It I were sure that she wouldn't skip out" Gilbreath answered slow ly, "Td do it."
 I'll be personally responsible for her. Mir. Gilbreath," said Jimmy Remember, my interest in this thing is even stronger than yours That's why I'm staying in Bridge, rort. I'll see that she reports ever! day 10 the police We'll fix 1t SO sht can't get away fl she tried"
 Gilbrcath smiled at Jimmy's earn cstness. That would be pretty hard 10 do. Rand However, your inter ests in it are larger than the states I suppose. It's taking a chance - but I'll do it."
