“That will be an excellent plan, and if we find that it is the man we want, then we will have him right here,” declared Nick.
The inspector touched an electric bell on his desk, and an instant afterward an officer entered.
“I want you to tell Edwards to come here at once,” said the inspector.
“Yes, sir.”
A minute or so afterward, a man entered the room.
He was one of the shrewdest men that the inspector had on his staff.
“Edwards, do you know this man Wright?”
“Yes, sir, I do. I was in his store yesterday, buying something for my house.”
“Do you know the automobile repairer, Jack Weeden, who has a place over in Astoria?”
“I do, sir. I rode out that way on a case several weeks ago, and one of the tires on my wheel burst, and I had to stop in his place to have it fixed.”
