He looked at Claude Fellows.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Claude H. Fellows," came the response.

"Business?"

"Insurance broker from New York."

"Did you see the shooting?"

"No. I was in the car. The man in the front seat drove me around the corner."

"What did he look like?"

"About medium height, I should judge," replied Fellows thoughtfully. "Dark complexion, and an ugly face.
He looked like a gunman."
"Would you recognize him if you saw him again?"

"Yes."

Higgins studied Fellows carefully.

"What do you know about Prescott?" he questioned suddenly.

Fellows was ready with an answer.

"I knew that he was expecting this," returned Fellows calmly. "I met him through a friend and found that
he was anxious to leave the city. He told me why."

"Because?"

"Because of his gang connections. He gave me all the important facts concerning them."

Higgins looked at the police captain and caught an approving nod.

"Come along with me," said the detective commissioner. "You can tell me your story when we get to
headquarters."

Claude Fellows smiled. He had no reason to keep anything from the police. He did not know, however,
what use they would make of any information that he might give them.

Higgins appeared to have considerable knowledge of Prescott's connections. Yet Fellows was sure that
he possessed vital facts which would be news to Higgins.

A YOUNG man stepped up and waved a greeting to the assistant commissioner. It was Jerry Kirklyn,
reporter for a Chicago daily.
