The big doors to the garage were closed as the little party approach- ed and entered the open smaller door leading to the sta and Green 'srcoms. At the door of the room Jimmie's quick eye saw the chauffeur's body sprawled half on while Audrey, explaining in more detail, did not divulge why she first called, since she felt that Ted Green’s confession had made that unnecessary. After Netherton had promised to |come, Jimmie telephoned Rich- mond, who said he would awalt the “Will you speak to Richmond?” Jimmie asked. “He is waiting to| | know.” ¢ Before Netherton could reply| thére was another movemen{ from Ithe figure on the bed.
