K'ralT you don'' think Oast cv. oi com may bebut : don't think so. But you can't tell me that you've got enough to con vince you that she's guilty." "That s why I want to talk to her." He iixed Dannie with a piercing gaze. "This isn't child's play, Bob. And I m going to put all my cards on. the table. I'm on the spot with the chief. The chief is on the spot with the mayor " 'And the mayor," put in I ait pleasantly, "is on the spot with the public. There's been a wave of crime, and the newspapers are asking why." "That's it exactly. So I'm not pulling any punches in this Lud den Dombey business. I've got to find out who bumped hurt off. And there's another thing eating me, too. Leonard Maey has show ed up again." 'The devil you say!" Tait Knew Leonard Maey. He was a wealthy dilettante who interested himself in criminology. Maey was clever, too. He had a good mind and a lot of fancy, expensive crime-detecting equipment. He delighted in nothing more than showing up the police as a lot of blunderers. Feeley nodded. "Sure. He's in terested. This kind of thing is his dish. Lots of publicity and all that. I'm telling you, if Maey turns up something important, be fore we do, it means curtains for me on thic job." Tait took out a cigaret, lighted it carefully. "Then you'd .let me help you?" 'I'd be glad for it it lis neip you'd be giving. What makes you think you can?" "I'm pretty sure I can. But I want a square deal for Mrs. Dom bey. I don't want her made a goat because the department hasn't got anything tangible." Feeley nodded. "I'll do wnai i can. But don't forget we've a prosecuting attorney who's yelling for blood. If I know Barkley, ne s already got a case against Myrna Dombey that would have a jury straining to convict her." "It's going to be tough, all right." "Tough is the word for it" Feeley leaned forward a little. "And listen, Tait, I'm trusting you. You're not to hold anything back." "Not a thing." Tait reached into his pocket, brought out Myrna's silk handbag and tossed it on the table. "That belongs to Myrna Dombey." Then he brought out the revolver, laid it carefully on Feeley's desk. "This was inside the bag when I picked it up right after the shooting." Feeley turned slightly purple. "And you took it out of the bag. and have been carrying It around until the fingerprints are all smeared!" "My theory Is that the gun was fired from the bag, Dannie. Through an opening In the zipper. I don't think there'd be any lin- Feeley s thick fingers took up the bag. How'd you get it?" Tait told him. Feeley listened attentively, and when the news' paper photographer was through, he said, "And so you think she didn't do it? You pick up her bag from beside her, and the gun is still warm, and you figure, she's innocent?" "Yes, Dannie. I think some. body got hold of that bag, slipped the gun into it, and then tossed it onto the table again after Dombey was killed." "It scunds fine. How are you going to prove it?" Tait was silent. Then, slowly: "I don't know yet. "If you don't have Myrna Donv bey down here by noon, I'm going to get out a warrant for you, and it won t be a comic sheet, either." "She'll be here, Dannie. But you've made your agreement. I'm going to help you, and in return you're not going to use Myrna as copy for the newspaper boys." Feeley nodded. "I made the deal, and I'll stick to it until I'm convinced youre rooking me." Tait got up. "Okay, then. You'll see her here at 12?" "At 12. She'd better be here If she's not, I'll have you brought in. And you'll be up on the third floor where the old cells are."
