However
his
thoughts
might
have
eventuated
on
this
occasion
,
they
were
interrupted
by
the
whirr
of
a
telephone
bell
.
"
Yes

is
Mr.
Heit
speaking
--
Wallace
Upham
of

Wallace

"
He
turned
to
the
politically
active
youth
who
drew
a
salary
from
the
county
under
the
listing
of
"
secretary
to
the
coroner
"
--
"
Get
these
points
,
Earl
.
"
Then
into
the
telephone
:
"
All

,
Wallace
,
now
give
me
all
the
facts
--

yes
.
The

a

shore

straw
hat

some

yes

All
right
,
Wallace
--
Well
--
I
'll
tell
you
,
Wallace
,
have
them
leave
the
coat
and
hat
just
where
they
are
.
Let
me
see
--
it
's
two-thirty
now
.
I
'll
be
up
on
the
four
o'clock
.
The
bus
from
the
inn
there
meets
that
,
does
n't
it
?
Well
,
I
'll
be
over
on
that
,
sure
--
And
,
Wallace
,
I
wish
you
'd
write
down
the
names
of
all
present
who
saw
the
body
brought
up
.
What
was
that
?
--
eighteen
feet
of
water
at
least
?
--
yes
--
a
veil
caught
in
one
of
the
rowlocks
--
yes
--
a
brown
veil
--
yes
--
sure
,
that
's
all
--
Well
,
then
have
them
leave
everything
just
as
found
,
Wallace
,
and
I
'll
be
right
up
.
Yes
,
Wallace
,
thank
you
--
Goodbye

Slowly
Mr.
Heit
restored
the
receiver
to
the
hook
and
as
slowly
arose
from
the
capacious
walnut-hued
chair
in
which
he
sat
,
stroking
his
heavy
whiskers
,
while
he
eyed
Earl
Newcomb
,
combination
typist
,
record
clerk
,
and
what
not
.
"
You
got
all
that
down
,
did
you
,
Earl
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
.

"
Well
,
you
better
get
your
hat
and
coat
and
come
along
with
me
.
We
'll
have
to
catch
that
3:10
.
You
can
fill
in
a
few
subpoenas
on
the
train
.
I
should
say
you
better
take
fifteen
or
twenty
--
to
be
on
the
safe
side
,
and
take
the
names
of
such
witnesses
as
we
can
find
on
the
spot
.
And
you
better
call
up
Mrs.
Heit
and
say
'
taint
likely
I
'll
be
home
for
dinner
tonight
or
much
before
the
down
train
.
We
may
have
to
stay
up
there
until
tomorrow
.
You
never
can
tell
in
these
cases
how
they
're
going
to
turn
out
and
it
's
best
to
be
on
the
safe
side
.
"
Heit
turned
to
a
coat-room
in
one
corner
of
the
musty
old
room
and
extracted
a
large
,
soft-brimmed
,
straw
hat
,
the
downward
curving
edges
of
which
seemed
to
heighten
the
really
bland
and
yet
ogreish
effect
of
his
protruding
eyes
and
voluminous
whiskers
,
and
having
thus
equipped
himself
,
said
:
"
I
'm
just
going
in
the
sheriff
's
office
a
minute
,
Earl
.
You
'd
better
call
up
the
Republican
and
the
Democrat
and
tell
'em
about
this
,
so
they
wo
n't
think
we
're
slightin
'
'em
.
Then
I
'll
meet
you
down
at
the
station
.
"
And
he
lumbered
out
.
