Hasty Wedding
“Dorcas sought for something memorable about him, something recognizable, but there was nothing. Jevan said: “Who is this? What do you mean by bringing this man here?”
“His name is McFee. He is the doorman for the apartment house where Ronald Drew lived. He saw Miss Whipple arrive with Drew and enter the apartment house a short time before Drew was murdered.”
“The man is mistaken,” said Jevan shortly. “He saw someone else. You can ask anyone in the house, Wait; they’ll tell you Mrs Locke was here. She has a perfect alibi.”
“Oh, has she,” said Wait. “Well, that’s fine. But she couldn’t be in two places at once. Therefore I am obliged to arrest——”
“What’s that hundred-dollar bill for?”
Wait smiled. “Doormen don’t customarily go about trying to change hundred-dollar bills. It’s routine; he was being watched and he tried to get change for it; in five minutes he admitted that he’d had a typewritten note enclosing the bill and telling him not to identify a woman he would be asked to identify.”
