that he was George Selby, and
wanted for murder. Morano made
certain of that. The 2:12 train he
caught at the Penn station went to
Philadelphia. That's where he was
all the next day-checking up on
the finger-prints taken when Selby
was sent to the State penitentiary,

moved from the files.

now.
kelly knew Morano was Selby,
and so that your wife was tech
nically a bigamist. That was the
threat he held over Morano, and
Judge ~Hambidge. The threat that
persuaded the Judge to write a
crooked decision.' The paper Kel-
ly had in his pocket was marriage
certificate, or something IF the sort,
he'd found somewhere"
"In an old trunk" Peter said; "in
the house he bought at "a Jefferson

Barry nodded.
Il doped that out, too., Both Mo-

reason to kill Kelly.
But neither had as much reason
as you had.

that paper.
"And you did, didn't you? That's
where Morano's telephone message
came in. That's why he called you
up from the CocoaDut Bar. To tell
you he'd seen the paper, and Kelly
had it."
Right" Winslow said, simply.
"My inquiry was narrowing down
to you and Morano. But how did
either of you get in to Kelly? And
then / remembered that, the day

into that house and left her key in

week. Anybody might. Especially
a drunken man. That would ex-
plain why the key wasn't on Kelly's
body. 1t would explain how our
third caller entered while Kelly was
talking to Judge Hambidge."
"Right," Winslow repeated.
"Was the third caller you or
Morano? And then I remembered
two things. Morano took the 2:12
