“Did you drive away immediately after you received the money for your services?”
“I did.”
“And you did not notice in which direction the old man went?”
“He went back into the building.”
CHAPTER IV.
A PECULIAR INTERVIEW.
Carter lapsed into silence after the cabman had answered his last question.
It was clear to him now that Lawrence had secured money at the Manhattan Safe Deposit Company.
Did he get the money out of a box, which he owned, or from some one connected with the company?
The detective proposed to find out. He happened to be acquainted with the cashier of the safe deposit company, so he ordered the cabman to drive him to the gentleman’s house.
Fortunately, Carter found the cashier at home, and he was received by him in his library.
