And
Earl
Newcomb
,
a
tall
,
slender
,
shock-headed
young
man
of
perhaps
nineteen
,
and
of
a
very
serious
,
if
at
times
befuddled
,
manner
,
at
once
seized
a
sheaf
of
subpoenas
,
and
while
stuffing
these
in
his
pocket
,
sought
to
get
Mrs.
Heit
on
the
telephone
.
And
then
,
after
explaining
to
the
newspapers
about
a
reported
double
drowning
at
Big
Bittern
,
he
seized
his
own
blue-banded
straw
hat
,
some
two
sizes
too
large
for
him
,
and
hurried
down
the
hall
,
only
to
encounter
,
opposite
the
wide-open
office
door
of
the
district
attorney
,
Zillah
Saunders
,
spinster
and
solitary
stenographer
to
the
locally
somewhat
famous
and
mercurial
Orville
W.
Mason
,
district
attorney
.
She
was
on
her
way
to
the
auditor
's
office
,
but
being
struck
by
the
preoccupation
and
haste
of
Mr.
Newcomb
,
usually
so
much
more
deliberate
,
she
now
called
:
"
Hello
,
Earl
.
What
's
the
rush
?
Where
you
going
so
fast
?
"
"
Double
drowning
up
at
Big
Bittern
,
we
hear
.
Maybe
something
worse
.
Mr.
Heit
's
going
up
and
I
'm
going
along
We
have
to
make
that
3:10
.
"
"
Who
said
so
?
Is
it
anyone
from
here
?
"
"
Do
n't
know
yet
,
but
do
n't
think
so
.
There
was
a
letter
in
the
girl
's
pocket
addressed
to
some
one
in
Biltz
,
Mimico
County
,
a
Mrs.
Alden
.
I
'll
tell
you
when
we
get
back
or
I
'll
telephone
you
.
"
"
My
goodness
,
if
it
's
a
crime
,
Mr.
Mason
'll
be
interested
,
wo
n't
he
?
"
"
Sure
,
I
'll
telephone
him
,
or
Mr.
Heit
will
.
If
you
see
Bud
Parker
or
Karel
Badnell
,
tell
'em
I
had
to
go
out
of
town
,
and
call
up
my
mother
for
me
,
will
you
,
Zillah
,
and
tell
her
,
too
.
I
'm
afraid
I
wo
n't
have
time
.
"
"
Sure
I
will
,
Earl
.
"
"
Thanks
.
"
And
,
highly
interested
by
this
latest
development
in
the
ordinary
humdrum
life
of
his
chief
,
he
skipped
gayly
and
even
eagerly
down
the
south
steps
of
the
Cataraqui
County
Courthouse
,
while
Miss
Saunders
,
knowing
that
her
own
chief
was
off
on
some
business
connected
with
the
approaching
County
Republican
Convention
,
and
there
being
no
one
else
in
his
office
with
whom
she
could
communicate
at
this
time
,
went
on
to
the
auditor
's
office
,
where
it
was
possible
to
retail
to
any
who
might
be
assembled
there
,
all
that
she
had
gathered
concerning
this
seemingly
important
lake
tragedy
.
