; '. RECONSTRUCTION
" A LL right; let's try to recon.
i" 1 struct the wliolo thing,"1 raid
Harper. "We've got certain basic
tacts to serve as foundations and
we'll St them In as we go along.
We'll take eight o'clock last night
as our starting point. Hamlll bad
Just made his report from the call-'
box. It was snowing heavily, there
was a cold, high wind.
' "Hamlll walked along on his beat
for three blocks. That would bring
It to say, ten minutes past eight.
I He crossed tho' street above here
i bnt halfway over ho changed bis
mind and came ' down ' Powhatan
Terrace Instead. What made him do
' that? Obviously, something be saw
or something be heard.
"From the Bpot 1 where Hamlll
turned off It Is doubtful that be
'could have beard any sound from
Inside this houso, even a shot or a
scream. If there bad been a' noise
loud enough tor him to hear, cor.
'tnlnly some of the neighbors would
have been up anl Investigating.
We'll havo to make Inquiries about
that." Harper Jotted down a memo
randum, adding other pertinent
'qupstlons from time to time ob be
pursued the course of the mystery.
' "It Is much more likely," he con
tlnued, "that Hamlll saw something.
What could It hare been? A light In
the houso? The elcctrlo swltcb had
boon turned off at the source. The
curtains of this one lighted room
were drawn close. That fireplace
here's an Idea, Jack. Suppose that
man stirred up tho tiro, poked tho
logs. You know hearth fires don't
burn so well on a rainy or snowy
night, for a damp chimney chokes
; off the normal draught.
;""A shower of sparks would shoot
i but tho top of the chimney. I've
often soon It on winter nights.
, Thoro would bo something to draw
j; Hamlll's attention. This is assum
ing that Hamlll knew the Iioiibo was
unoccupied. The wbolo ldoa hinges
on that. We'ro got to find out
whether bo knew tho Dufrcsnos
wero staying elsewhere."
"That's a nent plooo of deduc
tion," Lafferty advised, "but you've
overlooked an Important point.
What Hamlll heard was tho front
floor hanging about In tho wind.
That was the sound that led Con
nally and Hllloary hero so quickly."
:' "I doubt that," was Harper's re
Joinder. "I'vo not overlooked that
banging door. Tho Idea that a heavy
door llko this one could go on
booming from a quarter past eight
to nearly ten o'clock without arous
ing the other residents of Powliutnn
Terrace is nenrly Impossible, liul
thero again is something we can In
quire about. 1 ' '
" "However, bo that as It "may. wo
have Olllcor Hamlll coming iip the
walk. We'ro safe In assuming that
bis suspicions were aroused. Now,
did ho find tho door shut and locked
or open and banging? It should have
bocn shut and locked. If- Hnmlll
found It that way, be kuocked or
rang tho bell."
"Wrong again, Stevo," Lafferty
objected. "If ho wero suspicious
ho'd go llrst and havo a quiet look
around the outside of tho houso. Hut
the footprints In tho snow prove
that ho didn't, ho walked straight
up to tho front door without any de
tours." i
HARPER thought that over.
"You'ro right about that, Jack.
Wo'ro not clear about that door.
Assuming that It was locked, from
the mcro tact that Hamlll entered
some one must necessarily have
opened to him. Hero, then, wo have
our unknown man facing tho police
mnn. That would havo been the
logical place tor any shooting If the
fellow had been a homicidal maniac,
for Instance.
"instead, they go Into the break-fast-room,
through en uulighlcd
hall. Why, In Heaven's name?
Surely Hamlll would have bceu bus
plclous and kept his gun In his hand.
Our mystery man f'.en sits down In
thot cbalr, lights a cigarette, whips
out his gun and ( shoots ilamlll lu
oold blood!
"On tho other hand, assuming
' that tho door was unlocked, and
possibly banging, as Hamlll's direct
approach might Indicate, then he'd
probably stop Inside and try to turn
on the lights. That resulting In noth
ing, he'd probably call or whistle lo
attract attention. Perhaps he no

Catherine Creek
School Burns
UNION (Special) The Catherine
Creek school house was burned about
mldnignt Friday. The fire was dis
covered by the Edvalson family, who
live nearby. They summoned aid,
but the fire gained such headway
when discovered that tho building
burned completely to the ground
with all Its contents. The blaze ap
porently started In the woodshed. The
(origin of the fire Is unknown, al-
though there is much speculation as
to how it started. . .., , -
.BY WALTER C. BROWN.
"Our stranger Is sitting very com
fortably at tho table, drinking and
smoking, very much at home and at
easo. Everything is in normal urdor.
Tho man Is in formal dress and
bears a startling resemblance to Mr.
Oufresne. So, If Ilamlll recognized
him ot all, he would mistake him
for the master ot tho bouse. Cer
tainly there is no reason why Hamlll
should want to shoot Dufresne, but
nevertheless they killed each other
with a romarkable unity ot purpose.
That's a pretty stiff dose ot theory
to bwoIIowI" ...',.;'
"It sounds crazy to me," Lafferty
agreed. "As you say, a door could
hardly be banging away for nearly
two hours without some ot the
neighbors doing something about it
On the other band, doors don't open
ot themselves and set their locks
so that they can't shut again. If
Hamlll had loft the door unlatched
behind him, It would have banged
shut Just once and locked Itself.'
Well, like It or not, all our evi
dence states that tho door could not
have been touched after the shoot
ing, since both men wore dead. Wo
bavo only to examine the snow to
soo that Connally and Hilleary were
tho next to enter the house. Con
sidering the shooting as a separate
action, we get Into another jnaze,
"Our mystery man must havo
shot Hamlll twlco before Ilamlll
fired at blln, for Doc Miller assured
me that death must have been in
stantaneous and his position In that
chair confirms It. But thero wo have
tho dilemma either our Intruder
shot Ilamlll after he himself was
shot through the brain, which Ib
surely Impossible, or else Hamill
fired with extraordinary accurncy
otter being shot In the breast twice,
once through tho heart,
"VJOW In a single oxchange of
t ' shots there exists a baro mathe
matical chance for two mon to plug '
oach other so neatly, but that third
bullet throws it Into confusion. It
has mo guessing and It has Curlln
guessing too."
Thoy snt silent for a tow moments
and both pairs of oyes woro thought
fully focused on tho little row of
twisted bullots. The thin wiros that
held tholr tngs glistened brightly In
tho pleasant morning sun, v
Harper stralghtenod up with de
termination. "Lot's pass on to tho
unknown " man's movomonts," he
suggested. "So far as we know, he
was not hiding hero In the house all
tho time, Assuming that bo was tho
writer of the threatening lettors Co
Dufresne, it works out something
llko this:
"Ho Bomehow managed to trail
iTufresuo when tho hitter lift' liie
city. On tho roturn trip, ho must
havo followed his intended victim
until ho lonrned which route ho was
taking, then passod him and hurried
ohend to pick out a good Bpot for
tho ambush, whei'o bo waited."
"That means he had n car at his
disposal." Lafforty intorjectod.
"Yes. After ho had fired, at Du
fresne and tho latter made good his
oscnpe, ho rottirued to his car and
canio hock to tho city by some other
rood. That would bo oasy. '
"Tho autopsy has shown that he
uto about five o'clock, As this was a
cooked meal, ho could not have
come dlroctly hero and foraged for
food, Uy tho time ho got to this
house, say between tlvo-thlrty and
six, tho bhow was coining down In
earnest, hut the fnll was still so thin
Hint his tracks woro completely cov
ered over Inter."
"It would not hnvo been snfo for
111 in to come soonor," Lafferty snld.
"Remember, thero woro painters '
working on the third floor rooms
until four o'clock and tho Whit
mores did not lock up and go to
tholr rooms over tho garugo until
live."
"Wo don't knew how ho got In,"
Harper resumed, "hut thero nro no
marks of forcible entry anywhere
and thero wero nolther keys nor hur
glar tools found In his possession. In
tact, bo lltllo was found on his per
son that I've come to tho coucluslou
his pockets wero looted or else ho Is
wearing somo ono else's clothing."
"That's nn Idea! It he put on a
facial disguise to look llko Dufrosnot
perhaps he put on ono ot Dufresne's
sulls."
"K.xactly. Thero must ho more
traces of him In this houso than wo
have found. For Instance. It Is al
most cortaln that ho shaved himself
ntier he got horc."
Lafferty whistled. "One up on mo
there. Stove. That one. got past me."
"It you had looked closely ot his
face, you'd have Been that ho was
very freshly shaven. Hero nnil thero
ho missed a hair, which no solf-ro-spooling
barber would havo done."
