When do you think you can obtain his release ?" "This morning, I hope." "Then he should be in New York to-morrow morning ?" "Yes." Next Britz called up the coroner.
"Coroner," he said, "I want you to discharge Beard from prison.

Mrs.
Collins will be arraigned in Jefferson Market Court this morning and remanded to your custody.

She'll have to stay in the Tombs until to-morrow, when I'm going to ask you to continue your preliminary investigation of Whitmore's death.

Will you hold court down here ?" "Why all this maneuvering ?" inquired the coroner.
"It is necessary," Britz assured him.

"We'll solve this case to-morrow, if you help me." "Very well!" the coroner agreed.
For half an hour Britz devoted himself to the reports of his various subordinates.
