Knowing from Brad and Skeet that The Shadow had been at Lenning’s when death occurred and that Link Delvo had been near by when Sack Balban died, Nobby was certain the murderer was The Shadow. And he was doubly sure, after remembering Lamont Cranston had been the man to sell Radbourne the concession.

This made Nobby think that the mayor, in sending detectives to the hotel, was sure Cranston was the head of Intimidation, Incorporated.

Nobby showed no hesitation. He ordered Brad and Skeet to the Dorchester House, to check up on Cranston and find out for certain if he was The Shadow.

The Shadow was just changing to cloak and slouch hat when he saw, reflected in the mirror of his make-up case, the face of Skeet looking over the

transom. Then it disappeared. Conversation was heard in low tones outside the door. Then silence.

When The Shadow jerked open the door, Brad fell in. It took but little work on The Shadow’s part to overcome him, bind him and carry him to a linen closet off a little-used hallway.

Slinking down a back staircase, The Shadow overheard Skeet in a phone booth, reporting to Nobby. Events happened more swiftly to Skeet than to Brad

-

and when The Shadow was finished, Skeet was trussed up in the phone booth, lying

on the floor where he couldn’t be seen. An “Out of Order” sign hung on the door

assured that no one would enter.

The Shadow disappeared into the night.

When Nobby Kilgan appeared at the Dorchester House, thirty minutes later, in answer to Skeet’s phone call, he could find no signs of his two henchmen.
