Kennedy thought a moment . `` Yes , '' he answered slowly . `` There is . If you can get them all together at my laboratory to-night at , say , eight o'clock , I 'll give you two clear hours to make the arrest of Douglas , get the confession , and swear out the warrants . All that you 'll need to do is to let me talk a few minutes this afternoon with the judge who will sit in the night court to-night . I shall install a little machine on his desk in the court , and we 'll catch the real criminal -- he 'll never get a chance to cross the state line or disappear in any way . You see , my laboratory will be neutral ground .
