I "But grave-robblngl" Bronda said. ; "That was Eric's idea," Temple answered her. "You may remem ber that Phineos Hudson's casket jhad already been selected by him and was stored in the house tit Loulsburg Square. Well, Phlneas had said In both Erie's and my presence that, If he ever got his hands on the Ostermunn dia monds, he would either see thut they were returned to the rightful ownerB or take them to the grave with him. Eric 'thought they might I be concealed In the lining of the coffin." i "What had you and Phlneas Hudson to do with the Ostermann diamonds?" Brenda asked- "That," Temple said, "goes long' way back. In 1930 Eric .Woolf made Phlneas Hudson what seemed like an innocent proposi tion.! Remember this was before the war.- "Eric had formed the Atlantic Distributing Company. They dealt In German optical goods and marketed large quantities at Incredibly low prices. Eric ad mitted suavely that American 'prejudice against Infiltration of German goods would be more easily overcome by the presence of Phlneas Hudson's name on the letterhead as chairman of the board. The money was good; Phineas Hudson's fortune was gone. He accepted. . . "When he found out that It was a front for Nazi activities, It was too lute to pull out."

The Idea was that if the stones were marketed Into the private collections of men of means, they would bring a higher price. Xuvler's title seemed clear. I accepted the commission, "I was to receive the gems from Calovestri. But Phineas, through Eric, got wind of a plot of the Gestapo to lilt the stones. He told me of it and I started at once for Lisbon to interrupt Culuvcstri, miming Phineas as authorized ugent to accept delivery in my absence if I should fall." 1 - "But Calovestri didn't go to Lisbon," I said. "No." Temple drew thought fully on his cigar. "She went to Africa, got passage somehow from Dakar to Natal, and came here from South America." "Where did Booker come In?" I asked. Xavler hired him to watch Calavestrl," replied Temple. "He lost her trail when she went to Africa but picked it up again In Boston." "How about me?" "Booker had been Informed of the .substitution of Hudson for me. He thought he had a good contact in you to grab the stones and dispose of them to his own profit. Then things Rot badly fouled up. Booker lifted the stones after Calavestrl's death." ma ne kin nerr" "No." Temple shook his head. 'She wns killed by Nazi agents who mistakenly thought she was carrying the stones with her when she tried to contact you." "But why did Bho do that?" "Panic," Templo said. "She wanted to pull out of the deal. Booker had been after her to abr scond with the stones. You looked honest." 'And credulous," I said. "What was Booker doing at The Ledges?" "Hiding out." Temple said. "He pushed his nuisance value so hard with Phlneas that Phlneas nave him asylum.
