confession, had been forced to ask

Nan Carroll received and desired
none of the congratulations which
were being showered upon John
Curtis Morgan. No one but Nor
gan himself knew that it was his
private secretary who had disCOv-
cred and brought Annie Crayfish
into court. and it was Nan herself
who had insisted that her part in
the drama be kept a secret.
Don't dare tell the press how we
got hold of Annie Crayfish," she
had whispered urgently to Morgan
when she had turned her witness
over to him. Remember the papers
are going to call you the greatest
criminal lawyer in the state when
this trial is over, and they mustn't
get an inkling that accident and
luck had anything to do with it.
