 And, by God!r said the hand cuffed man, that's all you'll ever find out. You've killed Gentry. You've got nothing on me. I thought the man was 8 burglar"
 Sergeaont Mahoney turned to him purposefully. You" he said, "know who Phyllis Faulconer is. You know where Jarvis Happ is. You can either talk or we'll take you tQ headquarters and when we get done with you you'll be damn glad to talk <.
 The man snarled defiance. s.Try and make me talk, he said.

 Sergeant Mahoney turned to his men. "Get Vera Duchene," he said. 'Pick up Bob Caise. Tell Cynthia Happ she's wanted at headquarters at once. Pick lip he>iiquor dealer at 539 Terrence avenue. He's chap about 6s, with white mus tache. Clear the corridor. Search this room and 1909 with a fine tooth comb. Take that man to Headquarters and make him talk"
 Sergeant Mahoney bent over Dick Gentry's body. He pulled things from the pockets-cash, a wallet, an envelope, a memoran- dunn book. He thrust these things in his own pockets, nodded to Mill licent.
 You and Norman come with me, he said.
 The occupants of the apartment house, curious and frightened, were crowding into the corridor. Mahoney's men were pushing them back, clearing the hallway with swift efficiency.
 Sergeant Mahoney wasted no time on the elevator. He took to the stairs. Millicent and Norman followed him. Once in his car, they heard the scream of the siren as the car tore through the streets.
 Sergeant Mahoney skidded around a corner, slammed on brakes.
 This is Dick Gentry's apart ment." Norman Happ said.
 Exactly" Mahoney told him "Your father wasn't Kidnapped by force. Gentry could have lured him to his apartment. We'll see what we can discover"
 He fitted a key into a lock and opened door. switched on lights and ran across the room.
 Jarvis Happ. apparently hfeless, lay sprawled on a bed.
 Sergeant Mahoney leaned over . him. put an ear to the mans chest.
 Jarvis Happ lay motionless.
 Sergeant Mahoney got to his feet, strode to the telephone, jerked the receiver from it's hook, said, "Po- lice headquarters" While he wait ed for connection, he turned to Norman Happ and said, Hes alive but drugged. I think they gave him an overdose at the least, but we can save him if we can get him to v AOoPASoA Ah IAAhCs
 Into the telephone he said. Headquarters? Sergeant Mahoney. Rush an ambulance, Doctor Cath cart, a stomach pump, and com plete equipment for treatment of drug poisoning to Apartment 904, 64I3 Cherry street. want them here within five minutes"
 He slammed up the receiver, turned to Norman Happ and said. Start talking. Tell me everything you know about the woman in the black ermine coat"
 Norman Happ said, "Why, there isn't much to say. I've seen her several times. She comes to call on Cynthia and advises her about numerology and astrology. She. |"
 Sergeant Mahoney nodded. He went into the kitchen of the apart ment, pulled open cupboard doors.
 "Millicent." he said, make some strong black coffee. The doctor will want some when he gets here. I'm going to talk with Norman"
 Millicent went to the kitchen. made coffee, and had no more than brought the pot to boil when she heard the sound of feet in the cor ridor, heard Sergeant Mahoney saying, You made a record run, Doctor. Here's your man."
 4 moment later the kitchen door opened and bald-headed, short, thick-set individual with smiling face said, Have you some coffee?"
