Gilmore, for certain valuable
negotiable securities which he left in the bank's care a month ago.
Mr. Gilmore told Colonel McIntyre that these securities had been
given to Jimmie Turnbull last Saturday on his presentation of a
letter from McIntyre requesting that they be turned over to the
bank's cashier. McIntyre expressed his surprise and asked to see
the letter " - Clymer paused and took a paper from his desk. "Here
is the letter."
Kent took the paper and examined it closely.
"This is perfectly in order," he said. "A clear statement in
Colonel McIntyre's handwriting and on his stationery.
For the first time Colonel McIntyre addressed him.
"The letter is in order," he acknowledged, "and written on my
stationery, but it was not written by me. The letter is a clever
forgery."

take one of the elevators, ran up the staircase to the apartment
which had been occupied jointly by Jimmie Turnbull and Philip
Rochester.
