Monday, July 21, 1941 Ths Cnnifii' Iftuntnl. Snlem, Oregon Seven HonKV Hi - - By MEDORA FIELD - Andrew Talks I knew the expression on his face so well. It is always there when Bill comes up against stu pidity. He finds it so difficult to helieve that people are not all as honest and decent and straightfor ward and intelligent as he is him self. He came to his feet when he saw me and we met halfway across the room. "Oh, Bill," I said, as we gripped each other's hands tightly, "this is so silly." "Very silly," he agreed through set teeth, "but I can't seem to convince Lieutenant Gregory of the fact." I looked around that small, In timate, friendly room which has stood for a hundred years of fam ily security and gracious living. I looked at Lieutenant Gregory, wait ing to resume his seat at my grand father's desk. And for a dreadful moment the room ceased to be a )part of Wisteria Hall and became the close, cramped quarters -of a storm-rocked boat, with great, angry waves, dashing hungrily against its sides. "Here, here," said Bill quickly, "sit down." And as I collapsed In a chair, "Are you all right now?" "Oh, yes," I assured him. trying to smile, then, turning to Mr. Dod son, I asked in a voice that I some how could not raise above a whisper, "You don't believe any of this fool ishness, do you?" "What do you mean, foolish ness?" Lieutenant Gregory inter fupted grimly. "Don't upset yourself too much, Mrs. Stuart," said Mr. Dodson, and his calm, kind voice steadied me immediately. "You never can tell from the way a case starte out just how it will end." "But what's it all about?" I de manded. "Why does anybody think Bill did this terrible tiling?" "Andrew," said Bill testily. "Some thing Andrew thinks he overheard, lust before you went out to the Jhack passage and found Aunt Mag gle." "Andrew?" I repeated stupidly. "I questioned your butler as he served our lunch. Lieutenant oreg ory explained. "At first he denied knowing anything at all remotely connected with the murder. I ac cused him of trying to shield the family and saw that I was on the fight trail. He finally broke down and confessed that last night while in the breakfast room he heard voices in the passage outside and what sounded like an argument. He recognized Mrs. Ambler's voice, but while he knew her to be talking to a man, he was unable at first to tden tify the man's voice. Or rather, he says he did not pay much attention until he heard Mrs. Ambler raise her own voice and call Mr. Stuart by name." "What?" I asked weakly. "I can not believe it. Andrew is mistaken." "1 am afraid not," said the officer dryly. Then, turning to Roberts, "What was It Andrew says he over- D heard Mrs. Ambler say to Mr. Stu art?' Roberts flipped the pages of his notebook, cleared his throat, mois tened his lips and read: "Don't you aare lay hands on me, Willie." "But it is impossible!" I cried. "And yet someone did lay hands on Mrs. Ambler," I was reminded inexorably, "It was the natural thing for her to say under the cir cumstances. And there was no one else known to be on the premises whom she would have addressed by that name." "I don't care," I argued. "It's all wrong. Bill wouldnt do such a thing Mr. Dodson, you said you had a glimmer. Surely you know better than this" "We must not Interfere with Lieutenant Gregory's investigation," he told me. "There are still others to be questioned, you know. When he has finished, we will see what we j an do." "But Andrew could so easily be mistaken," I insisted. "After all he admits that he was nut paying much attention. There are other words, other names, that sound like Willie. It was Just an association of ideas in his mind. Aunt Maggie was ona By ( HENRY "THE CASTERS UNDER MY BED ARE I 1 STIFF --WILL YOU OIL I THEM FOR ME , PLEASE? fl of the few people who call Bill by that name. Andrew, of course, knows this as well as anyone, unci If she said anything sounding at all like Willie he would naturally jump to the conclusion that that was what she meant." "You are just wasting your breath, my dear," said Bill. "I've been over It all with Lieutenant Gregory. I've tried to convince him that I had no reason to kill Aunt Maggie and no desire to, or to kill anyone." "I'm afraid you are going to have to try to prove that to a Jury, Mr. Stuart," said Lieutenant Gregory. And in view of these new develop ments, Mrs. Stuart wouldn't you like to amend your own story? Are you sure that you gave a correct statement of the facts when you said that you saw no one else in the pas sage when you stepped out there shortly after the murder?" "Sally, you don't have to answer that question," cautioned Mr. Mar shall. "But, of course, I will answer it," I said. "I did not see anyone." "All this is very unnecessary," Mr. Marshall told Lieutenant Gregory. "Assuming that Mr. Stuart is guilty, which I do not, I suppose you are aware that, according to law, a wife is not compelled to testify against her husband." "But I'm telling the truth," I repeated. "Mr. Dodson, you believe me don't you?" "Yes, Mrs. Stuart," he said sim ply. "I do believe you." "Thank you," I choked, suddenly very near to tears. Bill squeezed my hand hard and for a moment no one spoke. The silence was so heavy you could feel it. Or rather you could feel all sorts of vibrations In It vibrations that met and clashed there in that quiet room as definitely as words that are said or swords that are crossed. To be continued Divorce Suit Filed Dallas Suit for divorce was filed in circuit court Thursday by Deiorls E. Seeber against Marc Seeber In which the defendant Is charged with cruel and inhuman treatment.
