CHAPTER xxxvr


EOR q long time there was tense

1--WE got to think this thing out. !"
Markham waited patiently. After
several minutes Cleaver drew hin.
self together and squared his
shoulders.
I'm going to tell you what !
did that night. and you can take
1t or leave It,"
Again he was the cold, selfcon.

many witnesses you've got: It's the
only story you'll ever get out of me.
I should have told you In tho first

you've got something in your head.
ana you want to make an arrest

Tell your story" ordered Mark.
ham. III It's straight. you needn't
worry about the newspapers"
Cleaver knew in his heart that
this was true. No one-not even
his bitterest political enemies-had
ever accused Markham Of buying
praise with any act OF injustice,
however small.
There's not much to tell. ~ Z
matter Of fact" the man began. II
went to Miss Odcll's house Z little
before midnight, but l didn't enter

Cleaver." interposed Vance. "But
what made you think some one else
was there?"
The man hesitated.
"Was It," prompted Vance. che
cause you had tc!ephoncd to Miss
Odell a little while before. and had
been answered by a mans voice?'
Cleaver nodded slowly. II cant
see any particular point in deny
ing it. Yes. that's the reason
what did this man say u you:'
Damn little. He said Hello.
and when I asked to speak to Miss
Odell. he informed me she wasn't
In. and hung up"
THAT. think. explains Jcssup's
report Of the brief phone call to
tho Odell apartment at twenty
minutes TO twelve"
Probably" Markham spoke
without interest. He was intent on
CIeaver's account of what happened
later. and he took up the inter
rogation at the point wherc Vance
had interrupted.
"You say sou listened at the
apartment door. What caused you
to refrain from ringing?"
Il heard q mans voice inside"
Markham Strengthened up.
"A mans voice? You're surc?"
That's what l said" Clcavcr
was matter of fact about 1t. "a
mans voice. Otherwise Id have
rung the bell"
"Could you identify the voice."
Hardly. It was very indistinct:
and It sounded a little hoarse. 1t
wasn't any ones voice was Ia
miliar with: but I'd be inclined to
say It was the same one that an.
swered me over the phone"
"Could sou make 0ht anything
that was said?"
Cleaver frowned and looked past
Markham through the open window.
Il know what the words sounded
like" he said slowly. II didn't
thiAk anything Of them at the time.
But after reading the papers the
next day. those words came back
to me-"
what were the words?" Mark.
ham cut In impatiently.
well. as near as l could make
out. they were: oh, my God! Oh.
my God!'-repeated two or three
times"
This statement seemed to bring
sense Of horror into the dreary old
omce-a horror AL tho more potent
because OF the casual. phlegmatic
way In which Cleaver repeated that
cry Of anguish. After Z brisf pause
Markham asked:
when you heard this mans
voice. what did you do?'
Il walked softly back down the
rear hall and went out again
through the side door. Then /
went home"
A short silence ensued. Cleaver's
testimony had been in the nature of
. surprise: but It fitted perfectly
with Mannix's statement.
Presently Vance lifted himself
out Of tho depths OF his chair.
u say, .1r. Cleaver, what were
you doing between twenty minutes
TO twelve-when you phoned Miss
odell-and live minutes to twelve
when you entered the side door Of
her epartment-house?"
y WAS riding uptown In the
Subway from Esd Street." came the
answer. after Z short pause.
"Strange-very strange" Vance
inspected the tip Of his cigaret.
Then you couldn't possibly have
phoned % any one during that fif.
teen minutes-eh. WHAT"
I suddenly remembered Alys Ia
toooe'o statemenet that Cleaver had
t6lephoned to her on Monday night
