I closed my ‘eyes, wiggled a ‘fihger, ‘and jab it toward the list—then I slowly opened. my Visit Straw’s apartment. Pushing the list into a pocket, I boarded a State Street trolle: and rode it north to Cedar Street. Then, suddenly inspired, I went into Solomon’s drugstore on the corner and phoned the detective bureau. Phelan was out.

Going down three concrete steps, I entered a lobby, and read down a list of names until I came to Straw’s. I pushed the button be- side his name and waited until, as I expected, a plainclothes de- tective came hurrying down. “Hello, Davids,” I said, recog- nizing him. I grinned and tried to exude friendship. Davids didn’t seem pleased. “Whatya want?” he growled. “I came down to help you pore over Straw’s effects,” I said blithely, “through the courtesy of Lieutenant Phelan.” “He didn’t say nothing to me about letting you in,” Davids ob- jected, eyeing me suspiciously. “My God, Davids, just because you're a detective you don’t have to ‘be suspicious of everybody!” I said. I patted his shoulder and led him toward the stairs. “Phe- lan’s at Caldwell’s house right now trying to dig up a psycho- logical clew like we did in the Justine case.
