When the detective finished the cashier remarked:
“Captain, you are gradually weaving the coils around Simeon Rich.”
“Yes,” Carter replied, “I am weaving coils around him, but I have no positive evidence that he committed the crime.”
“That note?”
“Not positive. If he has others of the series in his possession, then the coil will be stronger around him.”
“I understand. What move will you make next?”
“I cannot determine just now.”
Carter was elated over the discovery.
After leaving the cashier’s office he went direct to the house on Fourth Street.
Here he found that Brockey was still a prisoner.
