.
ENRIGHT DECLARES HIMSELF. One month after the Cavendish murder and two days after he had despatched a casual, courteous note to John Cavendish requesting that he call, Mr.Patrick Enright, of Enright and Dougherty, sat in his private office on the top floor of the Collander Building in Cortlandt Street waiting for the youth's appearance.
Since young Cavendish had consulted him before in minor matters, Mr.Enright had expected that he would call voluntarily soon after the murder, but in this he was disappointed.
Realising that Broadway was very dear to the young man, Enright had made allowances, until, weary of waiting, he decided to get into the game himself and to this end had despatched the note, to which Cavendish had replied both by telephone and note. "He ought to be here now," murmured Mr.Enright sweetly, looking at his watch, and soon the expected visitor was ushered in.
Arising to his feet the attorney extended a moist, pudgy hand. "Quite prompt, John," he greeted.
