phone at his elbow. "WeU see. He spoke graphically into the mouthpiece igor minute, then placed the instrument back on the cradle. Coming up," he said.
 Carroll finally took of his hat aimed at the rack, and missed If it was Riggs gun that killed Sayler, let's forget all those other angles, Chief"
 "I'd be glad to if I could find some more answers" OLeary said. "If 1t was Riggs who shot Sayler. he must have done it while he was S!anding somewhere near that window in the study. Maybe he was pressed against the fire place near the desk. That's the angle of the bullet.
 But why would a murderer bother 70 pen himself in on that side of the room? Wouldn't it have b. n much easier just plug ging Sayler from somewhere near the library door where the killer would have had to enter? Then he could have made quick get- away"
 Carroll didn't have a chance to answer. Tn. door opened, and a lean man, wearing silver-rimmeo spectacles, came into the room.
 Have you got the report, Mur- doch?" OLeary inquired.
 Murdoch placed several sheets on OLeary's desk. Here 1t IS Lieutenant"
 Carroll got up and squinted down at the papers. "Just tell me one thing, Murdoch. Was the gur we gave you early this morning the same one that knocked oil Sayler?"
 "No," the man said with en- phasis.
 OLearys expression remained un- changed, but Carroll's face fell as he glared at Murdoch. Looks like we start all over again" he said te one in particular.
 "It's the same kind of gun,' Murdoch explained But not the same gun. We checked and double checked when we noticed botf weapons were the same make ano the same caliber. But we just couldn't match the bullet we took out of Sayler with those we free from this gun"
 OIeary swung back in his chair. "Okay. Thanks, Murdoch i Tell Sweeney to bring Riggs IT here, will you?"
 In a few minutes, the swarthy chauffeur was led into tn room l His temper had been somewhat subdued during his stay in jail but slow-burning anger still per vaded his features.
 I'm going to start right of by tell you, Riggs" OLeary said that we'r not pinning a murder rap on you. We know you didn't do ti. But we're still holding you for attempted murder and lar ceny. Now to make everything easier, why don't you tell us tho whole story?"
 Riggs sat mutely. At first hi eyes darted antagonistically a OLeary and then at Carroll Finally he looked at his feet, ant hsi hands fumbled nervously "Okay, what do you want t. know?"
 "Why did YOU want those parol papers?"
 T don't know though they'd look bad if you fellow found them"
 You didn't like sayler. di' you?" OLeary asked.
 "No."
 "Why did you stay after you parole ran out?"
 "He wouldn't let me go."
 "What do you mean? H couldn't hold you after the fou years were up."
 Riggs twisted his lips into sheer. "Oh, yes he could. No legally. But he never did any thing legally. He told me that I ever tried to leave him, he frame me and get me sent bac to teh pen. He would have don it, too. He did 1t to others"
 OLeary pondered a momen "Why did he want you to stay his employ?"
 q knew too much. He neede chauffeur who could drive h1l around everywhere and who coul run all his dirty errands. I W. perfect because I was under h thumb. When my parole was owe I wanted to bust loose and go int the garage business with m brother. He wouldn't let me. hated his guts. Ever since gt out of jail, he's never paid me salary. Just a couple fo bucks fc cigarets once in while. Tha was the fee I had to pay for let tin him get me a parole"
 OLeary waved his hand towar the officers. The policeman move forward to take Riggs away.
