and drew a rough cross-section
of the building where Lawrence
Straw's body had been found, and
then he filled in the names, of the
tenants. indicating their activity
and approximate position at six
o'clock the previous evening.
Then he stared at it. For half an
hour
Then-as expected he would
he began debating a series of
jobs for me:

Where was he and what
was he doing between six
and six-thirty?
2. See Mrs. Ross. Who is her
physician?
3. Check on Don McGregor.
4. Verify Edelson's alibi.
5. See Elaine Ruhl and June
Hanson. Why did ]. H. lie?
6. Check financial condition,

Z. Ascertain everything pos

8. Visit Straw's apartment.
Get list of accounts.
8. Get medical and lab report
from Phelan. Fingerprfnts

10. Whom did Dougles visit?
What time did they arrive?
Leave?

Well demonstrate to Lieutenant
Phelan that a imodicum of in

les and only one defeat for an
average of 1888. The snappy
FAWTUlant nine is in the second

to my, inexperienced eyes, had
cost plenty. l whistled softly.
Nice stuff" l said.
YEAH" DavidS agreed, watch
ing me with the narrow, alert
eyes of a Charles Boyer about to
select a candidate for the Casbah.
Wading through a rug which
had pile about two inches thick,

peeked into the closet. There
were about a dozen suits, several
sport jackets, and eight pairs of
Stacks hanging on wire hangers.

label of Hills which meant mere

"Seventy-five month";" shook
my head. II should have been an
auditor, Davids. I'm in the wrong
racket"
you kin sing that song again."
Davids agreed affably.
How much do you suppose he
made a month";" b"
"'Cording to his income tax,
about two C's."
You're kidding"
That's straight. The reports are

ually began opening drawers.
Davids plopped into a nearby
chair and lazily watched me. I
found a folder containing the
duplicate copies of Straw's in
come tax returns, and i scanned
the one for 1916. Gross income
for the year-$2,315. The estimate
for 1947 was higher: $3.50.
HE had to do better than that.
Most of the clothes in that closet
are fairly new. Each of those suits
cost at least ninety bucks. That's
$1,000. Rent at seventy-five a
month is another 5000. That's two
grand for suits and rent, leaving
less than twenty bucks week
to cover the rest of his expenses!
Something is ScreWy."
