whether he has it handy?"
1T may be on his desk. Will you

They followed her into the house.
There was a small den off the living
room containing a desk Mrs. Simons
began opening drawers and peering
into them. For a moment Inspector
Clifford stood idly by. Then suddenly
he stepped forward and snatched
something from one of the drawers.

Simons and the astonished gaze
of Jackson. he strobe over to VIM

"Simons is our man." he said. This
proves it. Now" He broke off
as the front door opened and closed

Simon's eyes grew wide. The color
drained from his cheeks. For mo-
ment he stared as though struck, then
impulsively turned and bolted.
Anticipating the move, Inspector
Clifford leaped forward. His fingers
caught hold of the tall mans collar
and yanked him backward. In the
next moment there was the click OF
handouts being locked into place.

Clifford was saying later "Simons
