.sWhy, then?'
"To shield you. He had just
learned your secret. He knew
probably--that you had been to see
Thayer. And if he didn't kill
Thayer. then he found the body
when he got there and thought you
had done it. It's situation as
old as romance. But at any rate,

to do, because by his own admis-

was there, which makes it certain
that he must have done the killing
