CHAPTER XV.
THE TRUTH IN PART The chief dropped back into his chair with the utmost complacency.
This was not the kind of man with whom mere bluster counted.
"Haney says Saturday morning," he answered.

"The coroner's physician agrees with that." "Yesterday morning," Mr.Wynne mused; then, after a moment: "I think, Chief, you know Mr.Birnes here?
And that you would accept a statement of his as correct ?" "Yes," the chief agreed with a glance at Mr.Birnes.
"Mr.Birnes, where was I all day Saturday ?" Mr.Wynne queried, without so much as looking around at him.
"You were in your house from eleven o'clock Friday night until fifteen minutes of nine o'clock Saturday morning," was the response.

"You left there at that time, and took the surface car at Thirty-fourth Street to your office.

You left your office at five minutes of one, took luncheon alone at the Savarin, and returned to your office at two o'clock.

You remained there until five, or a few minutes past, then returned home.
