Cleaver tell me such a story-why
should he?"
"And you never told Cleaver that
the Odell girl had blackmailed
you?"
POSITIVELY not!" ManniX gave a
scCrnful laugh which was far too
theatrical to have been genuine.

he made repudiative motion
with his hand-"I haven't seen the
lady, y understand, for over a
year-not to speak to, if you know
what mean"
Mannix clearly was on his
guard, and his beady little eyes
did not once leave the district at
torney's face.
"You had quarrel with her

question incuriously.

"It doesn't interest me overmuch."
Markham put the letter away.

reached for some papers. &. "And
now, if you don't object, I'll make an
effort to earn my $4,000 salary"
But Vance, instead of making a
move to go, sauntered to the table
and opened telephone directory.
Permit me a suggestion, Mark
ham, he said, after a moments
search.
Put off your daily grind for a
bit, and let's hold polite converse
with Mr.. Louis ManniX. Y know,
he's the only presumptive swain of
the inconsistent Margaret, SO far
mentioned, who hasn't been given
an audience.

hearken to his rune. He'd make
the family circle complete, so to
speak.
"He still holds forth in Maiden
Lane, I see; and it wouldn't take
long to fetch him here"
Markham had swung half round
in his chair at the mention of Man
niX'S name.
He started to protest, but he knew
from experience that Vance's sug-
gestions we're not the results of idle
whimS; and he was silent for sew
eral moments weighing the matter.
With practically every other ave-
nue. of inquiry closed for the mo-
ment, think the idea Of question
ing Mannix rather appealed to him.
"All right" he consented, ringing
for Swacker; though I don't see
how he can help. According to
Heath, the Odell girl gave him his
leave year ago."
HE may still have hay on his
horns, or. like Hotspur, be drunk
with choler. You can't tell" Vance
resumed his chair. with such a
name. he'd bear investigation ipso
facto."
Markham sent Swacker for Tracy;
and when the latter arrived, suave
and beaming, he was given instruc-
tons to take the district attorneys
car and bring Mannix to the office.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-09

"Get a subpoena" said Markham,
"and use it If necessary"
Half an hour or SO later Tracy
returned.
mfr. ManniX made no difficulty
about coming" he reported. WAS
quite agreeable, in fact. He's in the
waiting-room now"
Tracy was dismissed, and Mannix
was ushered in.
He was large man, and he
walked with the forced elasticity Of
gait which epitomizes the silent
struggle of incipiently corpulent
middle age to deny the onrush of
the years and cling to the SEM
blance of youth.
He carried slender wanghee
cane; and his checkered suit, bro
caded waistcoat. pearl-gray CATERS
and gaily beribboned Homburg hat
gave him an almost foppish appear
ance.
But these various indications of
sportiveneSs we're at once forgotten
when on inspected his features. His
small eyes were bright and crafty;
his nose was bibative, and appeared
disproportionately small above his
thick, sensual lips and prognathouS
jaw.
There was an oiliness and ShreWd-
ness in the mans manner which
were at once repulSive and arrest
ing.
At gesture from Markham he
sat down on the edge of a chair,
placing a podgy hand on each knee.
His attitude was one of alert Sus-
picion.
Mr.. ManniX," said Markham, an
engaging note of apology in his
voice, Il am sorry to have discom-
NODDED you; but the matter in hand
is both serious and urgent.
"a Miss Margaret Odell was
murdered night before last, and in
the course of our inquiries we
learned that you had at one time
known her quite well.
1T occurred to me that you might
be in possession of some facts about
her that would assist us in our in
vetigation"
A smile meant to be genial parted
the mans heavy lips.

time ago, y understand" He per-
mitted himself a sigh. "A fine,

just then Swacker came in and
handed Markham a letter.

The letter, written on heavy
engraved stationery, was from

trying, at best-and the suddenness
of our visit, together with the ap-
parently hostile nature of Mark
hams questions, had completely
upset him.
He was more than sorry for his

to assist in any way he could.

his temper, for it would have been
