Freddy gave me a a. hand and 1 I climbed up The ivy lay Jay along the top o of the wall like piles and anc piles of great wet writhing snakes Once on top I I leaned down and pulled Freddy up Then I

Sydney Willowby pulled down his vest evidently highly pleased with himself Freddy straightened In his hi chair r t r. r I 1 and reached for tor his glasses So you ou lost her If It you mean Mrs Mu Herb Herbert rt Randolph she left her house late last lut night and r returned turned at three lj In n the meantime 1 Freddy put his glasses on now Your highly skilled shadow lost her j He e did not Sydn Sydney y Willowby Willow Willow- Wi OW- OW by was was emphatic lc He gave her herup herup herup up as you might call it He thought she might suspect him ao so withdrew A strategic withdrawal And when Freddy just looked at him He Hey didn't lose her He lost her didn't he And when Sydney again started a denial Td Id rather have that Syd Syd- ney I would rather have that th t than the slightest suspicion enter her mind He lost her didn't he I The detective was waa impressed He said Take It easy old man She couldn't suspect As sa a matter of fact my man wanted walked a up to 10 the uie corner comer thought he saw two men by the garden wall started back thought b better of ot It anc and took another another another an an- other look The men men had He walked down the block to see BeC what happened re remembered remembered remembered re- re his Job to follow anyone anyone anyone any any- one who left the house and yes and yes he lost her She had gone o out t. t 1 FREDDY REDDY sat down with a sigh of ot relief Thank God for for your Inefficiency cy Sydney That strategic withdrawal with- with dr wal is classic Take off oU your men and consider the case cue closed Because Because bec Because because use use- Willowby started to stammer Freddy wasa was was' wasa a good client Because I t find nd Mrs Herbert Randolph of oC Block Sc Block quite capable capable I I I mean socially y capable ot of of redecorating my apartment D Dont Don't nt look so startled Sydney I Imay Imay Imay may perhaps buy some priceless antiques I would hate to think they came from her attic You have shown hown me that there is nothing hidden In her family closet that her niece is ia beyond reproach and that her only living iving relative in Georgia is Is' not a family skeleton And her late hours hours' Sydney asked ked sarcastically Freddy smiled Perhaps she has hasa a secret way of f obtaining priceless priceless priceless price price- less antiques and for me When Willowby was gone Freddy went Into a a. discourse on crime which I listened to vaguely THESE HESE are statistics 1 I have been giving you Mack ack Freddy was saying when I picked up his voice again We Ve are misled by bythe bythe the Jie moral standards the censors must murit cr create ate for the betterment of ofa ofa ofa a delinquent society Virtue must always seem to be triumphant and evil must ever be trodden under under- foot Crime does not pay must be bethe bethe bethe the slogan In life lite that is true only because the thc criminal shows a stupidity bordering on OR the moronic He is you you see a criminal be because aule he lacks sufficient intelligence intelligence intelligence intelli intelli- gence to earn a living decent hon hon- estly catty But l let us us take the man who plans but one crime trine one I crime only The man who gives to planning of ot his hili one crime the intelligent forethought that a successful successful suc suc- businessman gives to planning planning planning plan plan- ning a new venture You see ace then how clever our criminal can be Ho sets eta the public attention upon one murderer Jack Holden the Ripper But for once we are cleverer We know his intended victim So Sow Sowe Sowe w we watch her on Friday mornings In her r g garden en and catch our crimi nal in the act when ho he goes to commit his final crime I he kill her Just as aswell as' as well on a morning other than Friday Friday Fri Fri- day I I 1 asked No His plan calls for Friday He is running true to his plan A UA madman might easily eully change his plan Yes es a madman might but but a aman aman man who imitates a madman wont And now w Mack several thoughts ran through my head as ns we waited in the bushes last night Oh I was armed and I 1 would have shot him dead without a moments moment's tion But I think we should hould have havea a clearer solution for tor the police if It we took him alive You keep saying he he heI I pointed out to him I I IT T THEN he said ald somewhat sharply Let Letus us see now He pushed me toward the door that I led into the library This well we'll say is the garden door I will play the role of ot the murderer I will enter here by the garden gate You will be bl there to the thc side of ot the couch which Mill serve as the bushes In which we hide The murderer will pass be behind the girl before he strikes She wont won't cry out 1 That is what puzzled me It seems incredible that he would hop over the wall Yet if It he hc comes by the gate she must know him If It he opens it with a key key key- Ah He snapped his fingers finger She will wUl be expecting someone else ehle And the murderer he will come and God and God Mack She must know the man Why dont don't you ask her why she waits walts In n the garden 1 I cant can't do that Freddy said quickly If It she waits walts for tor a man she loves Joyes who may have told her heric he ic is in trouble she will warn him ilm You cant can't reason with a woman woman woman wom wom- an in love As for tor the aunt I dare not show w the least suspicion to her Th That t is why I was glad Willowby's Willowby's Wil- Wil man lost her I was a fool tool to Lo p put t him on her trail It might have ruined everything It might I observed have prevented this mornin mornings morning's s murder Yes Freddy agreed You sec see I 1 thought of ot that so I was a conscious fool But Willowby's failure relieved me my And suddenly We should have seen seen Inspector Inspector tor Dargan today Lets Let's call on him I INSPECTOR DARGAN greeted us courteously enough but let letus letus letus us know plainly he was too busy for visiting The papers had been flaying him and the department nt The commissioner w s storming and ranting But he Jie did mai manage ge a twisted d sort of gr grimace ace that was meant for r a smile when he asked Freddy Well has your motive crime motive crime been struck yet 1 The girl last night left nothing but debts and pawn tickets ticket You flatter me Freddy laid his hat and stick on the Inspectors Inspector's desk Now Dargan was his old hard driving self Now Mr Farrington Farring- Farring ton if you have anything to tell ten me tell it to me Ill I'll listen to anything anything anything any any- thing within rea reason on or out of ot reason reason reason rea rea- son for that matter At least a hundred people rang up this mornIng morn- morn morning Ing and said they saw the killer last night His picture Is pla plastered all over the papers paper in public places Rewards have havo been upped to Really Freddy showed a mild Interest and then announced have him next Friday In in- in Ill Til turn him over to you And when the Inspector simply Inspector simply looked at him I dont don't want my name mixed up in the thing under under- stand You are to have full credit I dont don't think its it's a a ag g good od thing for forthe forthe the thel citizens citizens' to lack confidence In their police force But the he reward I Ill I'll Ill I'll want to direct the the distribution distribution tion Uon of ot that Ill Til want It to g go to the per person on who first flut believed in Jack Holdens Holden's innocence flY Yourself our elf No No His sister of ot course It It doesn't matter The Inspectors Inspector's inspectors inspector's tors tor's voice was WM tired Then rem remembering remembering re re- re- re m the good turn Freddy had done him not so 80 long ago he said I was wrong about you before before before be be- fore Mr Farrington And I 1 ap ape predate the sincerity of your your your-er er efforts Ho He came to his feet fee quite evidently a gesture of dis dis- dis- dis missal Freddy leaned acro across the desk and told him in a soft voice There dont don't try to grasp it all at once Be patient He picked up his stick sUck and said at parting fiN Next ext Friday Then Good afternoon aft aft- Inspector Continued tomorrow |
