I remembered that Chrostwaite had broken up our conference in Vance Richmond’s office at three, and I had started to work.
“One full hour!” I tried to tell Coffee before I went to sleep.
The police wound up the job while I was lying on my back in bed. In Van Pelt’s office on Bush Street they found a great bale of hundred-florin notes. Van Pelt, they learned, had considerable reputation in Europe as a high-class counterfeiter. One of the printers came through, stating that Van Pelt and Soules were the two who followed Newhouse out of the shop, and killed him.
