thing you heard and saw just

one thing is certain. Miner will
get in touch with Ruth Hayes

tell him what happened. II YOU

suspect that YOU are working

TO our plans.
"Tell him." he went on, that
YOU don't know the reason for
any Of the proceedings, but that
the lady suddenly dashed out
on the balcony. Repeat Just
what my daughter and son-in-
law said, and tell him that you
brought the lady back into the
room. Repeat as much Of the
subsequent conversation as you
can remember, and explain that
YOU finally escorted the caller
10 the taxi. Tell him that what

ance that she had gone, and

think you'd better tell Miner
that I asked you both to come
back and mount guard in this
room and on the balcony until
daylight. Tell him didn't tell
you why I wanted you TO come
back. and that you haven't the
faintest idea why you're wanted.
Incidentally. you'd better
correct one statement YOU made
