The detective pointed to a middle-aged man who stood at the side of the room. The individual cleared his throat and spoke to the reporters.
"My name is Charles Washburn," he said. "Office in the Elite Building, Philadelphia.
Washburn Finance Co. Denby Chadwick was in my office until five o'clock Saturday afternoon.
My stenographer, Miss Daisy Whitman, was present."
"That is correct," acknowledged a young woman who was seated in a chair by the desk.
"We left the office," resumed Washburn, "and were joined by James Newmann, whose office is also in the Elite Building. We rode in my car and took Denby Chadwick to the station.
"We were both with him while he purchased a ticket for Havre de Grace, Maryland. We were with him when he boarded the five-thirty local."
"That is correct," came another statement. This speaker was a man who stood beside Washburn evidently James Newmann.
"Next," declared Davidson.
A stoop-shouldered, gray-haired man followed.
