An idea came to me suddenly and I called Up Pickering at the Benefit
Insurance Company.
"This is Thompson speaking, Pickering," I said.
"Yes."
"Do you remember if an automobile passed you on the night of the
Felderson murder, going toward the country-club?"
"No."
"Do you mean you don't remember?"
"No, I remember perfectly. There was only one automobile passed us and
that was the black limousine."
"You're sure?" I asked.
"I'm positive, old man. We only saw one car from the time we left
Blandesville, until we reached the city."
