Sud- denly I saw what Phelan was driving.at. * “Not Professor Thomson!” “Correct!” Phelaa nodded em- phatically. “I know he’s a friend of yours, Professor Caldwell, but facts are facts, and what Bendy just told me clinches the case.” “For Pete’s sake how?” I de- manded. “According to you, there were eight black folders, each repre- senting an account, containing proof that the account had been filing fraudulent tax returns. Right?” “Yes, but—” “Three of the accounts, accord- ing to your list, were tenants of the building: Edelson, Dentino, and Mrs. Ross. Now, even if none of the three had an alibi, the exis- tence of the black folders would excuse them.” “Why?” I knew the answer, but I had to ask. “Because they’d have gotten that folder before they murdered Straw! They either knew about the fraudulent returns or had re- cently learned of their existence. In either case, they’d have made sure they got them before they killed Straw. The fact that those returns—involving them, as you pointed out, for huge sums in back taxes—are still in Straw’s zpartment, without any attempt having been made to destroy ther, proves that none of the three knew Straw was dead.” “But Thomson!

OZAKI “Thomson says he didn’t know him,” Phelan corrected grimly, “but I happen to know different- ly.” Reaching into a pocket, he brought out several sheets. of printed stationery. He handed one 4o Caldwell, one to me. “This is Exhibit A.” ib WAS a blank sheet of business stationery with a printed head» ing. I read it twice before I caught Phelan’s inference. Across the} top of the sheet in large letters was printed: THE ANCHOR BOOK STORE, INC., 1347 North Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois. To the right of this heading, in a column, was printed a list of the classifications of books available, with the phrase: “Chicago’s BIG Bookstore.” To the left of the heading, in another column, was listed the firm’s officials: John Faraday, President. John Niles Thomson, A.B., A.M., Vice-Presi- dent. Lawrence Straw, Secretary. John Faraday, Treasurer. “Where did you get this?” Cald- well asked, his face stern. “Jenkins found it. I sent him around to check on Straw’s ac- counts, and he came across this in the bookstore. He thought it might have a bearing on the case—and, boy, what a bearing it has!” “I still don’t see—” I began. “You myst; be dumb.; Thomson and Strawi:were in: business ‘ to- |; gether, consequently knew about those returns. first thing he did—either before killing Straw: or immediately thereafter—was to get Straw’s black folder and destroy it, think- | ing it wouldn’t occur to us to check further. This’—he waved the sheet of stationery—“proves that Thomson knew Straw and was participating in business with, him. Besides, the folder for the Anchor Book Store is-missing.” I just sat there and stared at the smug grin om Phelan’s face. Caldwell must have. been over- whelmed too, because, although he had his eyes fixed on Phelan, he didn’t say anything. and his face was tight and strained. “I don’t believe it? I. finally managed to say. “Facts are faets," Phelan re- minded me, “The bookstore is a corporation, although actually Straw_and Thomson were part- ners. If Straw used the name of John Faraday, as June Hanson’s testimony indicates, then he was president, secretary and treasurer of the corporation while Thomson wasvice-president—making them, te all practical purposes, partners. They couldn’t see eye-to-eye about something—maybe. Straw was trying to squeeze Thomson out altogether—and Thomson de- cided to kill Straw.” Phelan shook his head. “The only. screwy thing about it is the dumb way Thom- son acted’ under questioning. You'd think a guy as educated as Thomson could think up a good alibi, but t6"say he was taking a bath and sitting in ‘concentration —that takes the prize!” He stood up and put the sheets of station- ery back into his pocket, ‘Well, I guess I'd better go get him. This is one case we aren’t going to have to worry about!” “I'd like to accompany you,” Thomson | Caldwell said; his: voice surpris- The} ingly calm, “Why, certainly, Professor. Glad to have you!” Phelan beamed and radiated geniality. I thought for a minute he was going to slap Cald- well on the back. “I suppose this is a shock, his being a friend of yours, but facts are facts, you know.” (To be continued) Today’s Horoscope Today’s worker and one humble in spirit.
