Senator Charles A. McNary

bureau of marketing at Wash

The El even of Diamonds
By BAYNARD U; KENDRICK :
. "SYNOPSIS
Edward Fowler, a wealthy gam
bler, is murdered at the Sunset
Bridge Club in Miami.' His body,
with a knife in the back, is found in
' the poker room. Fowler had played
bridge that CTeninglwith Millie La
' France, a seductive, blond; Sam
Eckhardt and Dave Button., but
quit the game when Millie accused
. him of throwing it. He paid the
owner, Toby Munroe, for his and
Millie's losses and ostensibly left
only to be found dead in an adjoin
ing room early the next morning.
A mysterious prowler discovered
r the body, following which the po-
lice received an anonymous phone
" call informing them of the crime.
Two weeks previous. Fowler had
searched the hotel suite of the Dur-
lyn Bessingers. Bessinger claimed
to be a wealthy gram merchant but
Fowler believed this only a blind
as letters found in a trunk relating
; to his grain business were evidently
' written by Bessinger to himself.
The Besstngers were at the club
the night Fowler died. Bruce Far-
' raday, the millionaire, enlists tbe
services of private detective Miles
Standish Rice to help clear up the
murder because his son, Tolliver, is
involved. The boy's torn check to
' Fowler for the sum of ten thousand
-. dollars was found in the latter's
room. Farraday, Sr., tells LeRoy
and Stan that his party, consisting
of his daughter Eve, Tolliver, and
Mrs. Staunton (a friend) had left
the club about 1 A.M. (two hours
after Fowler left) and gone to the
" Alligator Inn with a Commander
Eric Dawson, whom he had just
.met, and the Bessingers. Clen Neal,
the society reporter, was also in
the party. Later, Millie arrived at
- the Alligator Inn with Eckhardt
and Button. Next morning, Stan
and LeRoy search the club for
clues. The door leading from the
bridge room to the poker room
where Fowler was killed is locked
and the key missing. Toby finally
admits that he locked it because
Caprilli, the gangster, had engaged
the poker room and wanted privacy.
But none of the gang showed up.
Stan can't understand why all but
Fowler's chair was put away when
a poker party was expected, Juan,
the servant, claims he had set them
op. Stan and the Captain are about
- . to leave when the former asks the
. police officer to return to the poker
room with him. "I saw something
there that wasn't quite right. I can't
remember what it was but I'll know
.if I see it again."
CHAPTER XI
Stan was already out of the car.
LeRoy grudgingly followed. Just
inside the door of the poker, room,
Stan stopped. Slowly, he scanned
r -Yery-torIon "of the room, impa
tiently snapping his fingers as he
did so. The Captain was about to
remark ironically about Stan's
speed, when Stan said, softly: "Look
, at the cards, Vincel"
"Be sensible, Stan. What have
the cards to do with Fowler?
They're still in the original packs.
The revenue stamps haven't even
been broken." -
"I know that." Stan took the four
packs from the chip rack and laid
them face down, side by side, on the
table. On the back of each paste
board package was a sample card,
showing the type contained in the
box. The sample cards were slipped
into a slit cut in the pasteboard, so
that only half Of them was visible.
--, ' The Captain gazed at them curi
ously, more interested than he cared
to admit. "They look oke to me."
' lie started to pick one up.
"Wait, Vince. I may be all wet.
On the other hand you may want to
get some finger prints. Don't you
see what's wrong? There are three
bines and a red. Bridge cards, and
cards for poker are bought two
packs at a time a red backed pack,
and a blue backed pack. In a big
game such as was planned last
night there should be two sets of
cards,' or two red packs and two
blue packs." Stan pointed .to the
four packs on the table. - The red
Eack, and two of the blue packs,
ore the same design a- ballet
dancer. The third blue pack as in
dicated by the: sample card-was
entirely different, bearing eriss
shmi Unas instead X tit Cancer. I
Stan took a handkerchief from his
pocket, and carefully pulled the blue
criss-crossed card from the slot in
the package. Underneath it was a
red backed card, marked with the
dancer like the other three packs.
He turned the card he was holding
face up on the table.
The Captain's face showed utter
disbelief. "I've played some poker
in my day, Stan' Rice but I say
about that card what the kid said
about the elephant: 'There ain't no
such cardl " . (
"Oh yes there is, Vince! Believe
it or not that's an eleven of dia-
seen Fowler once at the dog races
with Commander Dawson, and Glen
Neal. Outside of the fact that Fow
ler had been introduced to the Sun
set by Dave Button, and that Fow
ler owed Dave Button sixty thou
sand dollars, Ben Eckhardt could
say no more.
Stan turned back to Dave But
ton's statement. Button admitted
his friendship with Fowler they
both liked to gamble, so why not?
He had met Fowler on the Four
Leaf Clover, a gambling barge an
chored discreetly out in Biscayno
Bay. The rest of his story dove-
Detectives Patterson and Hogue were busy the morning after Fowler's
death obtaining preliminary statements.
i
monds. I have a hunch somebody
shoved the knife in Fowler just on
account of that cardl"
"Men have been killed for less
than that showing up in a hand of
poker I" said LeRoy.
Sunday is just another day to the
police. Detectives Patterson and
Hogue were busy the entire morn
ing, after Edward Fowlers death.
obtaining preliminary statements
from those present at the club the
night before. As soon as possible
all available witnesses would be
summoned to headquarters. There,
testimony would be taken tinder
oath for the Chief of Police, and
other officers working on the case.
Miles Standish Rice paused long
enough in his headlong rush for
Indian Creek, and Sunday dinner.
to stop at headquarters. Copies had
been prepared for him of the reports
made by Patterson and Hogue. He
deferred reading them until after
disposing of three slices . of roast
beef with ' trimmings, ; and two
dishes of. strawberries and cream.
Stretched out in a swing on the
porch, he digested the reports with
his dinner. ! ' ..
They were simple and concise, but
told him very little more, than he
already Knew. The detectives had
statements from ten of the fourteen
people present at the club. Eve and
Tolliver Farraday were in Fort
Myers. Commander Dawson had
gone deep-sea fishing for the day.
Glen Neal was in Palm Beach cov
ering a society tk4 dansant.
The statement of Ben Eckhardt
held more interest. Eckhardt ad
mitted frankly that he derived a
fairly steady income from poker.
bridge, and gamea of chance where
superior skill or knowledge played
a part. : - .;-!.;''
He had seen Edward Fowler
around Miami for several weeks,
but could not state accurately exact
ly how long. Fowler was seldom
alone. His most regular compan
ions were Bruce Farraday's son
and daughter, a Mr. and Mrs. Bes
singer, and a professional bridge
flayer, named Dave Button. He bad I
tailed with the others, but no men
tion, was made of the indebtedness
brought out by Eckhardt.
Either Button had withheld some
information which was bound to
throw suspicion on himself, or Eck
hardt had repeated an idle story of
big money, which might have be
come current around the gaming
houses. Stan stretched delightfully,
slid from the swing, and went inside
to get LeRoy on the phone. :
"What's the low-down on Millie
La Frenzy?" he asked -when con
nected with the Captain. Then
added: "I mean LaFrance before
you ask me." - ?
"Her statement's with ; those : I
gave you." , r . ; ! J,,
"I want herecord. She just cant
be the way she is without a record
of some kind. Look it up, will you?
I haW a faint pain in the head that
shewas a gun-moll, or her mother
was a bull-fighter." ; ' f
"IH call you back, Stan." ; '. i f
He returned to the porch to look
over again the meagre returns on
Edward Fowler. His room at the
Amboy Hotel bad revealed nothing.
His wallet, found in his coat, was al
most as barren. It contained four
hundred odd dollars in cash, Ameri
can Express Checks for thirty-six
hundred more, and a New York
driver's license. . The license bore
the address , of a downtown New
York hotel. j : : .-. p t , f . :
- The lack ' of identification was
strikmg. Too striking, Stan decid
ed. Fowler was covering up. The
average man, spending the winter
in Miami, can easily be identified
with his borne. There art letters
and bills coming to his hotel, or
apartment. His 'wallet contains
business cards, and membership
cards. His clothes bear the label of
his tailor, or home town store. Ed
ward Fowler had a definite reason
for keeping his past in obscurity.
He had done such-a thorough job
the police were at a loss whom to
notify about his death. t
