tugged. The black wig came off.

, I - f
My name is Oliver Sewell. resi
dent of New York City, and this
is myj free, frank and full confes
sion, j I am dictating tMs to -a
stenographer jl n a Paris hotel
' room.! I realise that everything I
" say wlllibe used! against me, but
;all my life I've been a gambler,
!and when I've, lost I've never
whined. 1 " ;
t A French doctor who examined
me said I'm not Quite sane. I like
his qualification "not quite
sane." Perhaps hesright. I won't
plead insanity, however. I'd rath
er go (o the chair and have it over
' . i with, now that I've played my last
. card and lost. But If I'm not
quite sane it's because of that dia
i mond. -
It started in Russia A girl I
i had been playing1 around with got
! hold of it, I took it away from her.
I fell n love with that diamond. I
loved It as I've never" loved a hu
man being. Merely to know it was
f mine would give roe happiness. To
- hold it, to look at it. It was a
flame of whit. There . was more
passion In It than any woman I've
. known.
If I had, been content to keep
It, I would be free today. But that
devilish, stone had the power of
driving you, somehow. It gave me
thoughts of ere at wealth. If I sold
. that diamond, I would W tremend-
ously rich. I- could have anything
in the wide world millions. But
as a gambler, when I've been on
the verge of great wealth, I al
ways backslide. A gambler rarely
wins or loses if he keeps on play
ing steadily, and has the money
to go right on. He's bound to :win
back what he's lost, and to lose
what he's won.
tThis diamond seemed to open
new life for me. But I was in no
hurry to sell it. I merely dreamt
ot what I would do with the mon
ey when I had if, how I would
spend it, where I would go.
. Then Came the Russian. I sus
pected he was sent by the girl, but
I was never sure. And when he
. came I couldn't get rid of hm.
He .insisted I keep him. He insist
ed I give him some of the proceeds
of the, diamond. .
.', The! -first day he came I con
ceived. the project of getting rid
of him forever. I planned very
carefully, very deliberately. I re
alized; Immediately that if I were
to carry this off at all, . I must
have f the physical arrangement
that would permit me to get rid
of him, and pass him off as my
self. I figured, out everything in de
tail. To begin, with and this is
what first gave me-the idea we

flame of
were enough of a similar build to
permit' the deception. Every one
knew I wore a wig, a red wig.
With care and caution and lack,
my plan was feasible.
But first I must hide him where
no one conld see him. I conceiv
ed the idea of hiring the apart
ment next! door and then creating
a corridor; connecting the room.
This ftutsian. was something of a
Mechanic land he did the work
himself. It. was not hard. When I
first moved into the apartment I
had mirrors lined on the four
walls. There was a sort -of alcove
on one wall, and this served as
the Corridor. The mirror became
a door, ' -1
Having! arranged my apartment
I next set to work in planning the
actual murder.
Probabliy where I went wrong
was that I had mixed motives. One
must have a single-track mind in
murder. I realize this sounds cold
blooded. But I hajre no regret; for
what I've done. It was inevitable.
To begin with, T let myself be
distracted, by wmen. Mrs. Edi
son, who pas-figured in the news-
this case, was an old
mine. I never took her
very seriously, but she seemed to
take me seriously, which was bad.
I had a sort of affection for her,
I guess, and I didn't want to hart
her more than I could help.
But perhaps it will be : clearer
if I tell my story chronologically:
About a week before the night
I murdered this Russian, there
were several things complicating
my life. fhe first was the hatred
of ilajor! Preston, a partner of
mine., I've1 always believed that he
cheated me in several big deals I
had with him. In' any case, I hver
lilted him; although he's a good
gambler. ,
Major Preston has a niece who
took my fancy. The Major got
quite upset when he realized this
and he talked wildly. It was then
that I thought it would be devil
ishly funny if I got the Major into
a little- trouble.
For, I reasoned, if I murdered
myself, so to speak, the police
would hunt the murderer. They
knew nothing of the Russian.
Therefore I must give them a sus
pect. I decided to give them the
Major.
Why?
For many . reasons, as I have
indicated. But 'primarily because
he tried to "cheat me out of my
beloved diamond. We had put the
diamond in the safe. I had half
the combination, the Russian the
other half. The Major knew the
entire combination, having watch
ed us. I, tooi knew the entire com
bination. Only' the simple-minded
Russian held literally to the form
ula. The Russians are simple
minded, even, or especially when
they engage in intrigue or crime
was crooked, and not to be trusted.
Having: then gotten hold of the
diamond, I still had to get rid of
the Russian, for he' got quite ang
ry, and threatened to expose the
whole business. If he made any
Sort of a scandal, it would be ex
tremely difficult to dispose -of the
His entire attitude convukced the
that 1 1 must go through, with my
plans, however distatefuffhey
might be,, and however dangerous.
And the Major's actions likewise
Convinced me that he was the one
who deserved to be, a suspect. I
jfigured, and figured wisely too, I
hink, that with some one arrest
ed, and. the ease cleared, I would
be safe for the rest of my life.
SSVith my supposed death a myst
ery, I could never feel safe.-
Then I told the Major I was
suffering from a strange fear' and
induced him to come and (stay at
the house. I j told him to bring
a revolver, because I intended us
ing that revolver. This would plant
double suspicion on the Major.
The Major agreed to i come.
Meanwhile, however, Mrs. Edison
was calling' me up constantly.
She'd just gotten a divorce from
per husband, and fondly imagined
that I would take her away witn
me. Mrs. Edison is a little too impulsive.

was revealed tfday that a woman
gate crasher vp.s presented to the
Prince of, Wales last night at a
banquet 1 given at the ; mansion
house in honor of Sir Abe and
Lady Bailey. ! - .
' A pretty young woman of about
28 years arrived at the mansion
house and had herself announced
under a fictitious English title.
She was Introduced to the Prince,
who shook hands with her, and
also to the guests of honor of the
evening.
All might have gone well, but
for the fact that only four women
had been officially invited proved
her undoing. As well as her un
fortunate attempt to take the seat
at the dinner table which had been
reserved for J. H. Thomas, Lord
Privy Seal in chargef unemploy
ment in: the new Labor cabinet.
She was. requested to leave.
The identity of the unvited guest
who. It Is alleged,; spoke with for

Punch , Discovers & Great
Diamond Mine.
HELLO. Mr. j Punch!
Whete have ' you been the
ptlt week?" exclaimed
Hanid. ' . , j
Mlj, Flor, Yam and Knarf the
other little shadow-children with
the turned-abont names looked
up at the puppet as he leaned
against the side of the little peep
show stage.
"Sh h," said Mr. Punch, glanc
ing around.- "I don't want Judy
to hear me. She might not un
derstand. I just discovered a dia
mond mine."
"A diamond mine!" exclaimed
the shadows.
Mr. Punch smiled. He liked
nothing so much as to astonish
his friends with his exploits.
"It was like this," he said.
"Judy asked me to go and see herl
grandmother. .Sne had a tooth
ache, you see "
"Who had a toothache?" asked
Yam. "Judy ?"
"No," said Mr. Punch, "her
grandmother."
"But you said last week that
Judy's grandmother had no
teeth," broke in Knarf.
"Hm m, it must have been her
head, then. Yes, now I remember,
'it was a headache she had. It was
a very bad headache and came
from reading in bed."
"What was she reading?"'1 asked
Hanid, who was very interested in
those things.
"She was reading the weather
reports for last year," said Mr.
Punch.
"What was the good of that?"
"That's precisely what she got a
headache wondering about. But
to get back to my story, just as I
stepped off my camel"-
"What camel." cried he shad
ows with one voice.
"Why, didn't you know? I was
riding on a camel the whole time.
Grandma is very fond of desert "
"You mean dessert, don't you?"
asked ImuT ,..

teriously. "However, the moment
I stepped off my camel who should

- "All who?'! asked Jthe shad
ows. " ' "
"All-Baba haven't you ever
heard 'lot the 'Arabian Knights'?"
IvV never," said Knarf. But
Mr. Ppnch took no notice of this
remark and wen t right on.
"The first thing that All asked
was dd I want to go looking tor a
