Not impressed by the D. A.

     His arm was seized from behind. It turned out to be a hanger-on from the D. A.'s office. "Mr. Roche wants you to phone him at once!"

    "You can tell Tom Roche, for me, that he can jump in the East River."

    "But he wants to know what it's all about. Who are you arresting, and for what? Some of them say the prisoner is one twin, and the rest of them say he's the other, and the D. A. is going batty . . ."

    "He hasn't far to go, if you ask me," the Inspector remarked.
