both "How?" and "Who?
II FAIL to see any necessity for
l. all this secrecy and hocus-
pocus,p District Attorney Sanderson
protested irritably. why the devil
don't you come clean and give US
the lowdown-if you have iti--on
this miserable business, instead Of
high-handedly summoning Captain
Strawn to my office, so that you
can give orders to us both?"
Before Dundee could answer, Cap
tain Strawn came 10 his assistance.
Il worked with this boy for pretty
near a year, Bill, and never yet did
he fail 10 make good when he said
he had a pot on to boil.
IF he says it will boil over this

want?7

whole bunch will be kept together
and have no chance to go to their
homes or anywhere else until am

"You can say that, owing to the
Illness Of your mother during the
Investigations, you want to question
everyone personally"

brought here, too?" Sanderson
asked.
None but Lydia Carr" Dundee
answered. after about an hours
inocuous questioning, please In

Strawn demanded, almost jealousy.
Nov that you are no longer

"As soon as they can do so, after
you get back to your Office"
Are they to follow the whole

Most decidedly After the I'M
