When he got there he knew he'd} have to kill him. He not only didn’t have the envelope but he also must have realized that with Hardacker alive he could never) be safe. He found out about Delia | —I can’t be sure whether he or Hardacker called her, or whether Hardacker was forced to make the call—but after that he shot| him.” “Where was he when Raeburn’ came up then?” Fenner asked. “I can only guess,” Joyce said. “I only know, what I'd do. He) knows Delia is coming. Unless he’) intends to kill her too he can’t be seen; he doesn’t want Delia to know Hardacker is dead, either —and most of all he cannot be sure that.she will obey orders andj come alone. He dragged the bod; out of fhe way, but he wouldn't wait in the office, since he couldn’t be sure she’d be alone... . think he went out in the hall and hid. Perhaps on the stairs above. | “Then, if Delia was alone, it} would be easy to follow her in. But it was Raeburn who came first.

Raeburn came out and down the street and that’s how he wee pened to lose the envelope. The: killer was hiding in a doorway or some place where he could} step out and hit Raeburn over the} héad.” Hard To Persuade | FeENNES. grunted and looked » annoyed: “That figuring alj_ guesswork. ‘If is okay, but it’s!

He held it on Hard- acker.“Even ‘thén, when Hard- acker saw it coming, he tried to pull his own. He might have lining in his coat.” “That’s what I thought,” Joyce said. “That’s why I know Rae- | burn didn’t kill him.” “Yeah, but—” “Where did he get the gun?” “He brought it with him,” Fen- ner said impatiently. “No.” Joyce hesitated. Her voice got quick and excited. “He left police headquarters at nine forty. He took a cab on the cor- ner and was let out a block from the office at five of ten. Lieuten- ant Bacon told us that.

She glanced up. His dark eyes were worried but he smiled. and took her back to her chair. | Fenner was still watching her. “That changes things, huh?” He tipped his head, looking first at John Nason, then at Dean Thorndike and finally at Ward: Allen. “If Raeburn didn’t, who did?” His eyes came back to Joyce. “Any ideas on that?” “One,” she said, “I’m not sure She paused, trying to think, to know just what to do. She looked at Delia sitting there beside Dean Thorndike, seeing the strained whiteness in the girl’s face, the misery in her eyes. { She brought her glance back to her lap, summoning her resolve that she might ignore the sickness in her heart and tell them what she thought. She was groping for a beginning when a voice cut | across the room. “I guess the odds have caught up with me,” it said, “Itl easier all around if now.” “Ward!” Delia said.
