I was writing. “You’re an officer of the corporation?”
“President. I have been for seven years.”
“When and how did you learn of the murder of Miss Eads?”
“On the radio this morning. The seven-forty-five newscast.”
“That was the first you heard of it?”
“Yes.”
“How did you spend your time last night between ten-thirty and two o’clock? Briefly. As fast as you please. I do shorthand.”
“I was in bed. I was tired after a hard day’s work and went to bed early, shortly after ten, and stayed there.”
“Where do you live?”
“I have a suite at the Prince Henry Hotel, Brooklyn.”
