"Yes—the young lady's brother."
Leverage was bewildered. "What in the world do you want with him?"
"I want him," explained Carroll confidently—"because Garry Gresham is the man who shot Warren!"
CHAPTER XXII
THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED
Within an hour Garry Gresham appeared at headquarters in the company of
Cartwright. The officer left the room and the three men were alone.
Gresham's manner was nervous, but he showed no fright. Leverage, regarding him keenly, found reason to doubt Carroll's positive statement that Gresham was the person they sought. The young man stood facing them bravely, waiting—
"Gresham," said Carroll softly, "Your sister is in that room yonder. She read the afternoon paper—the report that I knew who killed Roland Warren. She immediately came here to give herself up."
An expression of utter bewilderment crossed young Gresham's face. Then he started forward angrily: "Why are you lying to me—"
"Easy, Gresham—easy there. I am not lying to you."
