JUDGE NOY paused; he leaned forward in his chair and added, in confidential tone:

“It is possible that Clewiss also received a threat. That would explain the situation. But Clewiss denied receipt of a letter. I called him this afternoon and questioned him on that point. I told him that I intended to speak to you.”

“What was his reaction?” asked Bursard, uneasily. “Did he seem concerned?”

“Yes, even though I did not give him the full details. He intimated that if I had received a threat, he should beware of it. I have an idea that Clewiss is hiding something.”

Bursard looked troubled as he walked toward the door. Following him, Judge Noy added:

“I called Radbourne, also, on the chance that he knew something of the matter. I told him very little; simply that he was not to consider the patent case as closed. I stated that if Kroot asked for an appeal, I would grant it.”

Bursard shook his head. His action indicated that he considered Judge Noy’s methods to be unwise.

“I must hurry to the radio station,” said Bursard. “I cannot promise to broadcast all this. I admire your stand; but I do not care to be responsible for anything that may happen to you.”

“I am protected,” declared the judge, with a smile. “I called Mayor Wrightley, to tell him that I felt insecure. He sent two detectives here.”

“But they are not on duty -”

“Yes, they are.” Noy’s smile broadened. “One is posing as the doorman of this apartment building. The other is acting as operator of the only elevator that is running. If any intruder attempts to come up here, they will halt him.”
