It was the Times-Post, and the man at the telephone was in a hurry.

"This is the Times-Post. Is Mr. Wardrop there?"

"No."

"Who is this?"

"This is John Knox."

"The attorney?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Knox, are you willing to put yourself on record that Mr. Fleming committed suicide?"

"I am not going to put myself on record at all."

"To-night's Star says you call it suicide, and that you found him with the revolver in his hand."
