“How long did you stay?”
“Until I’d seen the entire show. I suppose around two hours.”
“When did you first know about the murder?”
“Whitewell told me this morning.”
“What did he say?”
“He thought there was some possibility he might be detained here, in which event he wanted me to take a plane to Los Angeles.”
“Why the hurry?”
“Because the business has to be kept running.”
“How do I know you went to the picture show last night between eight-thirty and quarter to nine?”
Endicott said, “I’m sure I wouldn’t know.’
