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."
