“Thank you. You were registered under the name of Henry M. Gillespie?”
The other’s voice was low and strained as he replied in the affirmative.
“For good reasons of your own?”
“Yes.”
“For which same reasons you left the hotel quite early on the following morning?”
“Yes.”
“Your business compels you to travel a great deal?”
“Yes.”
“Do you often register under an alias?”
“Yes,” returned the other, his face twitching.
