My men have positive identification of one of the visitors to the Phelps home the night after the murder,
gpt
Fine! exclaimed Kennedy.
human
Who was it? How did you uncover his trail?
gpt
You remember that my deputy heard the sound of a departing automobile? Well, we have been questioning everyone. A citizen here, who returned home late at just about that hour, remembers seeing a taxicab tearing through the street at a reckless rate. He came in to see me this morning. He made a mental note of the license number at the time, and while nothing stuck with him but the last three figures, three sixes, he was sure that it was a Maroon taxi. We got busy and have located the driver who made the trip, from a stand at Thirty-third all the way out and back. On the return he dropped his fare at the man's apartment. The identification is positive.

Who is it?
gpt
Werner, the director.
human
Werner! in surprise.
gpt
What are you going to do?
human
Arrest him first--examine him afterward. I've sworn out the warrant already, and I'm going to start in by car just as soon as we hang up. I thought I'd phone you first in case you wanted to accompany me to the studio.
gpt
We'll hurry there, Kennedy replied,
human
Outside?
gpt
No, up on the floor.
human
You'll be there fifteen minutes to half an hour ahead of me. I hope there is no way for anyone to tip him off so he can escape.
gpt
We'll stop him if he attempts it.
human
Good!
