DeWitt shook his head. “Jerry’ll know.”
“But how can I reach him?”
“Didn’t he leave an address at the office?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Then there’s no way to reach him.” Exhausted from so much talking, DeWitt fell silent. At length however, he aroused himself and asked: “Have you tried your father’s safe?”
“For Jerry’s address?”
“No, the names of the tire-theft gang. If the police had something to work on—”
“Dad took a lot of papers out just before he started for the Prosecutor’s office,” Penny replied thoughtfully. “But some of the evidence may have been left. It’s worth investigating.”
The nurse returned to the room with a vase for the flowers.
“I’m afraid I can’t allow you to remain much longer,” she said regretfully.
