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

guests cat.

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

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

"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."
