five alroady told you" she said, T don't know"
 Fisher strode across the room to the telephone, jerked the receiver off the hook with an air of brisk finality.
 II want" he said, "to talk with police headquarters"
 The girl gave a half scream, stared at him with eyes that were wide and round.
 "Out on Elm street." she said. "922 East Elm street"
 The attorney spoke suavely into the telephone.
 "Never mind he said. T want ed to try and find out about a parking tag received, but I guess I had better call in person"
 He dropped the receiver back on it's hook and turned to the girl.
 That's better" he. said. Now want you to understand one thing. If you hold out on me on it or how trivial it is--you're go- ing to go right to jail. Do you understand that?"
 "Yes," she said, q do now"
 'I want to know" he told her, "who this Peter Malone talked with in the Cathay residence"
 With Frank Bliss, the chauf- feur," she said.
 twas there any conversation about medicine or sickness or poi son2"
 NO" she said. "They talked about things that you couldn't understand. Pete would say. "Dfd you do what I suggested, Frank 2" and then Frank would evidently say yes or no and Pete would say Where's the party we were talk ing about yesterday?" and Frank would make some reply, and then Pete would say DO you think that any suspicion has been aroused ?" or something like that. The con- versations were just like that. I'm not trying to tell you exactly what they were because can't remem- Der, but 1t was something like that things that no one could under. stand that had been listening in"
 Fisher scowled at her moodily.
 "Im wondering if you're telling the truth about that" he said.
 "Yes," she said in a tone of voice that indicated all of the resistance had left her. I'm telling you the truth about everything now. It doesn't stand to reason that they'd let me in on their secrets. If they had I'd probably have been killed by this time."
 And what happened to Peter" the attorney asked.
 "He left. There were some tele- phone calls that came in late last night and one early this morning, and Pete called Frank at the Ca- thay residence and said, I've done my part of it. Now it's up to you to do yours or something like that and then he packed his suitcaise."
 "Now, did these telephone calls take place from your room here? ?" Fisher asked.
 ''Some of them did"
 "How about the others?"
 "They were from other places. Pete didn't seem to want to call from any one telephone too much. We'd be out to dinner in restau- rants and he'd put in calls from the restaurants. Or sometimes he'd stop in drug stores and put through the calls"
 Are you holding out anything on us?" asked Fisher. "Is there | anything else that you know that | you haven't told us?"
 "I've told you every single thing" she said, raising her eyes mourn fully, land when Pete finds it out | he's going to kill me-"
 "Evidently," Fisher said, you think that this man, Pete wouldn't stop at murder?"
 ''He wouldn't stop at anything" she said.
 ''Why did you keep on with him ?"
 q don't know" she said. "There was some fascination that he had for me. I don't know what it was. that pulled me to him. It was an attraction at first and after that it was fear"
