a conviction that they had kidnapped their

the obvious suspect near by: rival prospec-

that the suspect was also an ex-criminal added
nothing to the evidence against him, of course,

First, the officers found the bullet that
killed the murdered man. 1t had lodged in the

upon the suspect, he possessed rife of the

bullet. The rife had recently been fired. And
the mans socks were splattered with blood.
