¥ CHAPTER V
iJAZEL LEIGHTON looked in-
A credulously first at Sergeant
'arroll and then at Lieutenant
I’Learv. “But that's impossible."
he said. “How could anyone in
ms house have committed the
nurder? We were all in the
rawing room. No one left until
got up and found the body."
O'Leary sighed the deep sigh
f a police officer who has a job
n his hands. “Sure it's impos-
ible. All clever murders are im-
osstble. That's what the mur-
Irer wants us to think. That's
-hy they’re clever—until they're
aught."
Hazel glared at the lieutenant
isdamfully. And then suddenly
er eyes grew larger and her
vebrows arched ominously. “Do
ou mean that we're—that I'm a
aspect?”
“Everyone's a suspect until we
nd the right party” said
• Leary.
“That’s ridiculous" Hazel
napped. She got to her feet. “All
f us had plenty of reason to
'ant to see Martin out of the
•ay and some of us would prob-
bly have murdered him if it had
rcurred to us or if we had been
Sven the chance. But we
eren’t." She said haughtily “I'll
•ave you bloodhounds until
pu've figured out the answer on
!>ur little ouija board."
The two officers watched her
l she walked out of the study
hen Carroll shook his head sadiy
Id sauntered over to the desk
if dropped heavily into the chair
azel had just left. “You’d think
ie done it" he said.
O’Leary smiled nveakly. “Maybe
ie did. She’s been Sayler's girl
lend and he wanted to call it
As—wanted to buy her off. She
as insulted—so she says."
Carroll’ scratched his head and
uinted. “Yeah but Chief she
uldn’t have done it. She didn’t
ive time. She left the other j
om and a couple of second*
ter they heard her scream. She
dn’t have any gun. And the
gle of the bullet is all wrong
. comes from over here some-
nere and not from that door.”
fThat's the trouble with this
se Sergeant — nobody could
ve done it . . . only someone
i. Have you checked the serv-
tajr
"Yeah. They were all in the
chen—all except the chauffeur .
I
He was out in the room above
the garage. He’s the only one who
was loose long enough to have
taken a pot shot at Sayler."
O'Learv looked up quickly
"Where is he now?"
"Still in his room. A couple of 1
boys have their eyes on the ga-
rage. I thought you might want
to see him."
"Okay bring him in. Sergeant.
We'll have a little talk with him."
• • •
IT took Carroll five minutes to
A return with a medium-sized
man with swarthy skin and dark
wiry hair. There was a thin scar
that ran along his neck and his
eyes were deep and hollow'.
O'Leary had been staring va-
cantly into the blackness through
the French window’s near the
desk. He turned and took in the
man with a swift glance. "Are
you Mr. Sayler's chauffeur’"
The man clenched his (1st.
“Yes. sir.”
"Did you know Mr. Savler Is
dead?"
"Yes. sir. The cope—the officers
told me."
"What’s your name?"
“Riggs"
"Is that your real name?"
The man hesitated a moment.
“No. sir. That’s what Mr. Sayler
called me. My name's Carlos
Gomez."
"Riggs will do . . . we’ll call
you that.”
Carroll made a quick entry on
a loose envelope in his pocket.
O'Leary walked along the south
edge of the room and perched
finally on the arm of a broad sofa
that stood before the fireplace j
Riggs looked about him. and for
a moment his eyes remained
pinned to the large blotch in the
sand-colored rug.
"Where were you tonight.
Riggs?" O'Leary asked.
“Right here on the grounds . . .
in my room.”
“And you stayed there?"
?*Yes. sir. I did."
"Did you hear anything—any
noises at all . . . like someone
prowling around?"
"No sir.”
"What were you doing in your
room?"
“Reading a magazine.”
Carroll kept his gaze steadily
on the chauffeur who stood rigid-
ly at attention. O’Leary shifted
his cigar from his hand to a cor-
ner of his mouth.
"How long have you worked
here. Riggs?" he asked.
The man calculated for a mo-
ment and then said “Six years
. . . a little more."
"Did you drive Mr. Sayler
everywhere he went?”
"Almost everywhere. He1
couldn t drive a car himself but
he sometimes took a taxi.”
"Tell me Riggs did your boss
have many enemies?”
Riggs glared at the floor. "I
j suppose so . . . everyone Has.”
"I mean more than usual.”
"I don't know sir.” The chauf-
feur avoided the lieutenant's eyes.
"That wasn't my business.”
Sergeant Carroll blurted “Lis-
ten buddy all hackmen know
about their bosses' affairs. You
better . . ."
O'Leary got up. “All right
Rigg«. That s enough. Go back
to the garage. You'd better not
leave the grounds though. We
may not be finished with you."
“Yes. sir.” Riggs looked quickly
at O Leary and Carroll and then
turned and walked hurriedly from
the room into the library.
* • •
/^ARROLL watched him until he
^ was out of the room. Then
he wheeled swiftly on O'Leary.
"That's our man Chief.” he said.
“What makes you think so*”
“Who else could it be? He was
the only one who was loose long
enough. Nobody was wuth him
from 8:15 until we came. Any-
way he looks like the kind of guy
who might pull a job like this."
O'Leary shook his head. “May-
be. Maybe you're right. Only I'd
hate to try to get a conviction on
the evidence we've got now. Re-
member the shot was fired from
this window . . . only the window
was never opened. Not from the
outside at least."
O'Leary sauntered over near
the door. In the drawing room
across the hallway he could see
Mardell gesturing to Hazel Leigh-
ton. Rhoda Waters was sitting
nearby. Dale Appleby and George
Barbour were probably there too.
The lieutenant walked briskly
back to the window and motioned
Carroll to come over. For a few
minutes the two men spoke softly.
When O’Leary entered the
drawing room the conversation
stopped abruptly. The officer
stood poised in the doorway a
moment. His trained eyes swept
the five persons in the room. “One
of these people” he thought “may
be a murderer.”
“I'm going to ask some ques-
tions” the officer said. “Some of
them may seem kind of personal
but that can't be helped. There
are a lot of things we've got to
know about if we re going to get
to the bottom of this thing.
Frankly we don't know very
much yet but—”
O’Leary didn’t finish. From
somewhere in the den. a shot rang
out that made the whole house
quiver.
