“I want to consult with my assistant before telling about this arrest.”
“You have a clew that you haven’t spoken of, then?”
“Maybe. Just lock Low up without putting anything on the blotter for a little while. Give me an hour to see what I can do.”
“All right, Mr. Carter, if you say so. But what shall I tell the reporters?”
“Nothing. I’ll be back inside an hour.”
