This communication set Adam Adams to thinking once more. That Tom Ostrello and Matlock Styles had something in common there could be no doubt. The question was, What?
As the detective was walking back to the hotel he saw Raymond Case approaching and went to meet the young man.
"Oh, Mr. Adams, I am glad to meet you," cried Raymond. "Have you learned anything new?"
"A little but not a great deal. How is Miss Langmore this morning?"
Raymond drew a long sigh.
"I do not think she is much better. She is more quiet, but—"
"She is not clear in her mind?"
"That's it. She is now thoroughly convinced that she is guilty."
"And you do not believe her?"
"Of course not. I know she is innocent. Come now, honestly, don't you think so yourself?"
