"No, sir. He was too clever ... Besides that was not my principal object. I was looking for proof against his employer."
"Oh, do you know him too?"
Pen nodded.
"Go ahead."
"This taxi-cab driver could not at first remember the address to which he had driven Talley, but he gave us the locality, and when we drove with him through the streets of that neighborhood he unhesitatingly picked out the house."
"How could he do that?"
"Well, it was a peculiar looking house; different from any other in the neighborhood, from any other in town probably. It is in Thirty-Ninth street, East of Lexington."
"Go on."
"He stalled his engine and had to get out of his car to start it. Thus he saw Talley admitted to the house, and had a glimpse of the man who admitted him. Out of a number of photographs handed him he picked out one which he is ready to swear is that of the man who admitted Talley."
"He could have got but the briefest of glances."
