BROWN- SYNOPSIS: Hedttced almost to desperation by his inability to solve the mystery of the murderer who shot a policeman and a stranger in Pierri Vufresna's house. Sergeant Harper suddenlu finds the trail of Ellen Becker, the maid who left the Dufreanes about the time the series Of mysterious events began which preceded the traaedu. HarDer and Ms assistant. Lafferty. are talking to Ellen's aunt. Chapter 42 BECKER TALKS "ItTE'RE from Police Heudqunr- ' tere." said Harper. "Are you Mrs. Sutton? Well. Mrs. Sutton, we happen to know that Mies Becker la at home. It would be much wiser If she saw us. Much wiser." To assist Mrs. Sutton make the correot decision Lafferty casually put a sturdy foot across the sill. "Oh, all right, come In. She's upstairs. 1 thought you wero bill collectors. There's some mistake, though, Ellen has been home for monlhs, looking after me." "If there has been a mistake, we can soon put It straight. Will you ask her to come down, please?" The detectives were ushered Into a dark, stuffy parlor that probably had Its twilight atmosphere even on the brightest days. They heard the elderly woman's slow tread as she mounted the stairs. "There's something In It," l.f ferty whispered. "Did you notice her face when Bho found out who we wjre?" Harper nodded. A lighter step was coming down the staircase Then the curtains rustled and Miss Ellen Decker faced them. "Miss Becker?" "Yes. What do you want, please?" "We ore from Police Hoodnunr (era. , I nra Sergeant Harper of the Homicide Bureau. I am In charge of the murder case at Mr. Pierre Dufresne's house. You've hoard about that?" "Yes," echoed Miss Becker. "I read about It In the papers today." "We came to ask you some ques tions about your period of service there. Why did you leave Mr. Du fresne's employment last Novem ber?" "My aunt was very sick and need ed constant looking after, so I gave notice and came home. I haven't been near Mr. Dufresne's house ''Harper looked at her. "Still tak ing, care or your aunt?" " Ellen's face darkened. "She's well now, but jobs are hard to get." "If you left Mr. Dufresne's of your own accord, why don't you ap ply for your old Job? They haven't hired any one In your place." "I'd rather get a ob where I can live at home." "Miss Becker." Harper continued, i "you deny, then, that you have been advised to go Into hiding for a while?" The detective's chance shot, based on Harris' report of the telephone messages, certainly struck home. "Why, er of course." sho stam niered, with apparent effort. "You were not, by any chance, packing to go away when we ar rived?" "No! Where would I be going? I live here." But her voice was still unsteady. "In that case, you won't mind If we just take a quick look at your room. Jack, see to It!" LAFFERTY was off like a shot ' In a moment there Issued loud voices from upstairs and Lafferty came hurrying down again. ' "She was packed to go, all right." he accused. "When 1 rushed up the old lady was stuffing things .back In the bureaus and closets as fast as she could." "Ha."' e.tCi'lmed Harper, "now the cat's out of the hag. I give you your choice of two things. You can talk to us, or you can come along to Headquarters. Tb.-res a car waiting on the coiner." Ellen broke down, quick, flight ened sobs shaking her body. "1 didn't do anylhir'5 wrong." she walled. Harper answered stonily, "but you are holding back Information Why did you leave the Dufreanes? Because some one found ll worth while to get you out of the bouse?" Ellen Becker resigned herself to the Inevitable and nodded. Harper leaned forward, tense and eager. "Who has been paying you the hush-money?" "Mrs. Dufresne!" Harper leaned back. "Tell us ex actly what happened." Ellen Becker clenched her fin gers. "It was right after the house was opened last autumn." she be gao. "The family were at the apart ment while we got things' ready I was cleaning the hearth In the breakfast-room. There was a brass urn standing by the fireplace, Oiled with white sand. opening of the many packages re quired considerable time. Mrs. Zim merman receiving many lovely gifts. The evening concluded with the serving of delicious refreshments by the hostesses assisted by Miss Sylvia McBride. Mrs. Zimmerman cut the bride's cake which was served with Ices. "1 saw a bit of paper sticking tip and when I picked at It I saw that It was part of a cigarette stub. I pushed the sand around and found a lot of them burled there. I thought that was strange, because we'd only opened the house a few days before and hadn't used the breakfast-room at all. i poked a little deeper In the sand and found a slip of paper, hurled down one side. I read It." "Was the writing that of a man or a woman?" Lafferty asked. 'I couldn't tell. All the words were printed and there was no date and no signature. It said: 'Will ex pect you at the uBual time.' That was all. 1 took It upstairs and showed It to- Mrs. Dufresne. She turned white when she read It. She kept me there nearly au hour, while she walked up and down the room. Fi nally she suggested that If my aunt was In need of nursing 1 could go home for a while and she would continue to send me my wages. I did, and she has," was Ellen Becker's terse conclusion. ','Do you realize that was prac tically blackmail?" E LI. EN shook her head, "It was Mrs. Dufresne's Idea. 1 didn't ask her for anything. Why shouldn't I accept it? It was the llrst time In my life 1 ever got something for nothing. Nobody's going to die and leave me a million," she said bit terly. Harper stirred himself. "1 think you'd better come along with us to Dufresne's house. We'll have to get to the bottom of this story." "No no please! I can't go back there!" "So there's moro to the story? Out with It all of It this time!" Ellen's next statement came only after a visible struggle. "Two days later," she continued, "I found an other note In the same place. It was printed, just like the other. It said: 'The same place, and you'd better como this time.' The last part was underlined. While I was looking at this note, with the sand spread out on n paper, Mr. Dufresne walked In. "He wanted to know what I was doing there and I had to show hfm the note. He carried on worse than Mrs. Dufresne. He asked me all kinds of questions and talked so wild 1 was afraid of him. I told him 1 was leaving to take care of my aunt. Then bo calmed down all at once, but he made me swear to say nothing about the note to any one. He promised that I wouldn't lose by It." Harper leaped up. "Well, I'll be damned." ho cried, "you've got the nerve to sit there and calmly admit you've been taking money from both of them?" Ellen turned sullen before his an ger. "But what could 1 do? Hand back his money and tell him I was already being paid to keep quiet? What good would that have done Besides, I was afraid of him. I was afraid to tell him anything." "Can't you see that you were spreading dynamite around In that house? Harper burst out. "for a few paltry dollars you were willing to see a whole household broken up. No wonder you're afraid to go back there and repeat your story. Who warned you to run away Mr. Du fresne or Mre. Dufresne?" "I won't tell. I'm not going to say another word." Ellen's voice grew shrill. "I want to aoe a lawyer. "Come on." said Lafferty. "let's trot her down to Headquarters. She'll talk there, whether sho wants to or not. By that time she II need a lawyer!" The sinister tone pried the girl loose from the last hold on her ret icence. "Neither one." she admit ted sullenly. "It was Joe Donaghy who called me." Harper's eyes glittered with re newed Interest. "So Joe was in on tills? He knows all about these deals?" "Only about Mrs. Dufresne," Ellen confessed. "I guess you call yourselves sweet hearts." Lafferty sneered. "A line pair of lovers you are." Never mind that now. Jack." Harper Interrupted, then, turning to the girl, "What did he tell yo'i over the 'phone?" "He saiu It looked like things might break wide open up there at the house, and that If they did. It would be a good idea for me to be missing." "You're holding out on us again. You two have been working this game together. We know Donaghy's been bleeding these people, loo, be cause he's sporting a big roll of bills." ICovvriahl I9U.II Waller C.
