Six The Cn"""' tnrro' ntom" Oreoofl Thursday August 21; 1941 Henry . . . 1 .... By Carl Anderson i j i Jin i By ME DORA FIELD - Yesterday: Lieutenant Oreiory of the Atlanta police has four confessions on his bands to the murder of Eve Benedict. -and Coroner Dodson lust has offered an explanation which may remove Oratory's beet suspect for the murder of Aunt Maasle Ambler Bill himself, who with his wife Bally was giving the parly at which the murders occurred. Then, when tverythlnt was confused enough, some body turned off the lights in the ll '-bfary. where every one was gathered, and flung a dart Into the room. Sally tet worrying about Plutarch, one of the guests cat. '(!Y Chapter 45 i& Interloper ; -Even Mr, Dodson raised his voice ' irr protest, but Lieutenant Gregory ' was not to be moved. He had had 'perfectly good murderer taken '"away from him, and unless another tjJOOld be provided it was Just no ale. But he finally agreed that he 'would make no actual arrest that rTtight and with this we were forced to content ourselves. V 'I suppose you realize, Mrs. 8tu- 'flrt,,, he grimly Informed me, "that if. your husband Is freed of suspl ;clon, you become the next most like ly suspect unless, of course, some one else has been proved guilty In "the meantime." ' Bill got pretty red-headed at this, btlt we were all a little more accus tomed to the Idea of being regarded as killers and were ready to forego useless argument. And so far as my personal feelings went, there didn't seem to be much difference whether It was Bill or I who was acoused. Either way, my life looked equally rosy. "Did you draw any other con- elusions?" I asked Mr. Dodson. "I mean about Eve's murder?" Before he could answer, Lleuten ant Gregory cut In, "If you will excuse us, Mrs. Stuart, I should like to, finish my little talk with your husband." In the hall I stopped by the poW' der room and gzed at my strained countenance, making what' repairs -were possible at the moment. Again my mind started lt round of vi cious circles. If I could only find the secret room, why couldn 1 1 re member that crazy Jingle? Where 'could Plutarch have gotten to? I remembered Alice had thought she heard him when she went to the basement, but Andrew had not been able to find him In the coal chute. How was It Plutarch was al ways escaping from the office? Because someone had opened the door, of course. The ofllce I sprang to my feet. Perhaps perhaps there was an entrance from that room to the secret room. Andrew had economically turned oft the light In the office. As I touched the switch button and the Interior of the small room sprang into being 'rore my eyes, I In. voluntarily stepped backward, all fling a scream. A strange man was standing In the middle of the floor. Apparent ly ne found the encounter as awk ward as I did, for we both stood there silently, staring at each oilier. My first wild conclusion was that there at last was the suspicious character we had all been looking tor. nut even in that moment of Initial shock and surprise, I was conscious of a feeling of anticlimax, Inspired no doubt by his common place appearance. Here was no movie villain. Here was no devil with horns and talL Here was no gorilla or hairy ape. Here was only a stocklly built young man of perhaps thirty, a little on the hard-boiled side and rather flashily dressed, It Is, true, but otherwise not at all remarkable- looking. But appearances are often de ceiving, and I told myself that I must be very clever and engage him In unsuspecting conversation until i could pull the bell cord and sum mon Andrew. I could scream, if necessary, but It would be much better to be calm and take him un aware. So I said, somewhat weakly, ."I didn't know there was anyone In here." He grinned, disclosing an Impres sive gold tooth. "Place is lousy with police." "What?" I asked atupldly, , 1 I r MY BCY, CAN YOU (till TELL ME IF THERE Jp - 15 A BIG CORPORATION )jK-Trg -LAWYER AROUND I O A! I "Plain-clothes man," he ex plained, flipping his coat lapel. "Oh," I said, not quite con vinced, but remembering that Lieu tenant Gregory momentarily ex pected someone from the solicitor general's office. It could be true. "Then," I suggested, trying to keep the doubt out of my voice," "you'll want to see Lieutenant Gregory." "Yes," he agreed, "In a few me mento. Just doing a little recon noiterlng. Like to go over the ground and form my own conclu sions, you know." "Oh," I said again, Inanely. " '5'rlght," he reassured me. "Call Gregory If you want to. Just delay things Is all." As I hesitated, he went briskly on, "But you can help me If you will. You want to get this cleared up, don't you? Now, I gather tne bedrooms In this shack are on the next floor. How about sort of giving me the layout of who has which room?" "If you'll wait a moment." I of fered, "I'll have the butler show you around. Wouldn't that be bet ter?" He hesitated, then said, "Okay, but I could do better alone." I rang for Andrew, and as we waited I led the way into the back passage and explained that the bedrooms on the right of the back stairs were occupied by Bob and Kirk and Bill respectively and those on the left by our feminine guests, one of whom had been murdered that afternoon. "Pretty wholesale slaughter around nere, looks like," he ob served. As Andrew did not appear im mediately, I said I would step to tne Kitcnen and ask the cook to lo cate him. "Oh, never mind," my visitor told me airily, "I'll get along an rignr,.-' "I'll send Andrew along later," I promised as he vanished up the oacx stairs. "Them bells Is ringing In all di rections," Bessie explained, as I en tered the kitchen. "Andrew's done gone to the front door and I was comln' to the office Just as soon as I could get my apron changed." its an rignt," I told her. "Just tell Andrew that a plain-clothes policeman Is snooping about up stairs and that I would like It if he would sort of keep an eye on him and see that he reports to Lieutenant Gregory. I'll tell Mr. BUI if he ever gets out of the library." so ne continued Clover Hullers Busy Grand Island Clover hulling is in progress here.
