CHAPTER IL
firq HERE was nothing of im-
I portance brought to light
during the rest of that first
investigation. Phelps went to work
for fingerprints, making a record
of whatever he might find for later
comparison with those of such sus-
pects as were brought in.
Dr. Wattles pronouneed the-man
to be dead ten or twelve hours. It
was then three in tjie afternoon,
which set the actual hour of the
crime between three and five that
morning. Captain Blake left Phelps
in charge with instructions that the
body be transferred to the morgue,
there to await further .develop-
inenta.___L._________________
He then left with Sergeant Jar
din to call at the laundry garage
and the four addresses Cochrane
had given. Robin Dale, of course,
went along with Bl^ke. ---------
The garage was close at hand
and after half an hour's question-
ing it was fairly evident that the
body could not have beep brought
into’the garage and placed :n the
basket at that point. A night crew
was on duty at all times adjusting
and repairing the trucks, so that at
ijJe time were there less than half a
dozen.men on duty.
To go through such ,a cordon of
workers was practically an impossi- screened by ferns,
bility. All the workmen, too, were
accounted for, although it was <
<iynt from the clothes of the mur-
dered man that he was anything
but a mechanic. Captain Blake,
however, had a way of never neg-
lecting the minutest possibility.
The manager at the Claire Hotel
was interviewed next. While not
strictly a first-class hotel the Claire
was of the better kind, one of the
newer hotels which catered to per-
manent guests. It contained over
right hundred rooms and apart-
ments so that at this point, it be-
came rather an involved matter.
Of course, there were numerous
guests who had checked out during.
the preceding twenty-four hours. |
There were also guests who were I
