After it, Donnelly went over to the Hotel Belvidere in the southeast corner of the terminal to get some sleep, and Lieutenant Nolan took over for him.

By that time, apparently summoned by Calhoun, there was in the starter’s office a big, shambling man named Inspector Donnelly, who had a flat voice, a firm mouth, a round head and small, oddly unemotional black eyes.
