On Murders Skirts
By TERRY ADLER
(Chapter 27)
"Honestly," Elian entreated,
What can you make out oi this
lull that Bray was sending you!"
"You mustn't forget that Brr
wasn't sending this to me. Ft n ton
caine across the envelope and he
put It in the malls. My hunch Is
mat uray was lust going tnrougn
Hubbard's things and put this stull
inside, either to talk to me about
it or else to dispose ot it nun
st::. He probably had the whole
thing figured out. And ot course
that's whv he was killed."
"So as far as we're concerned
we've drawn a blank?" Ellen asked
wearily.
'There's onlv one more hope.1
"What's that?"
"We'll stop at the Janitor's. Vall's,
rnd see who's borrowed his key re
cently. Maybe we can make some
sense out of this puzzle then. Let's
leave mis stun here ana pick it
It up In the morning It we need
It."
Ellen locked the envelope In her
desk, Tliey turned off the lights
in the room and made their way
ou of the darkened building. In
a lew minutes the car was travel
ing toward the outskirts of the city
When Raff stopped the car they
were In front of a small darkened
farmhouse. Ellen, who had been
dozing, awakened when Raft tucked
a blanket around her.
"Walt here. I'll be out In a few
minutes," he said.
About five minutes later Ruff
came back, his breath steaming in
me com air. e got in ine car
oesine ner.
"You're beginning to act as If
you have this whole thing all sewed
up. Just what did you learn from
von?" she asked,
"Not a thing," he said In dls
gust. "The list of people who have
borrowed his key reads like a list
of staff members of the depart
ment. Bray borrowed it about two
weeks alter he had resigned from
the chairmanship, five years ago
Bill Griffith borrowed it about three
years ago, Paul Russell borrowed
it about two years ago the first
time and then again about a month
ago. The day after he returned
It. verek borrowed it. Fenton bor
rowed it on Thursday and you
oorrowea it on roaay afternoon.
"Oh, golly, that's about every
one. isn't it?"
"That's Just about everyone. And
that about washes us up. Ellen,
we've got to go to the police. Just
iigure it out for yourself. So far
we know there were at least four
people who could have had a motive
ior wishing Hubbard dead. There
was Bray himself for one. but I
don't think he did it because he
didn't commit suicide. There's Fen
ton, who might have reached the
end of his rope. Certainly Bill
oriinin would have a olauslble mo
tive. From what you tell me about
now miooard treated Dr. Verek,
he wouldn't be so unhappy about
Hubbard's death. And you can't
tell what goes on In the mind of
raul Kussell. Certainly he wasn't
shedding any tears over Hubbard,
or Bray either for that matter. The
tame goes for Worden."
"It does look hopeless, doesnt
It?" she said wearily. "And I lust
thought of another thing. A per
son didn't have to have a key to
get Into Dr. Hubbard's oftice while
he was there, even when he was
taking his nap. The door was kept
uniocxra curing the day. Jt was
jocaea only when he wasn't in
there
"There you are. It means that
each of the people around the de
partment will have to be ques
tioned very carefully as to his
v.hereabouts both on Wednesday
afternoon and Thursday midnight
It means that the stories will have
to be checked."
"You're right. Dennis. I know
you're right. But It seems like such
a terrible thing, to have the police
all around the department to
have all these filthy storlea publi
cized. A lot of Innocent people are
jrolng to suffer, and that doesn't
seem right."
"You know my chief. Dr. Norton
at the hospital, had the same idea
when I told him what Bray had
said about Hubbard being murder
ed. The way I figure It, it takes
a pretty emotional upset for an
otherwise law-abiding citizen to
commit murder. When such a per
son get to tne state wnere ne can
commit two murders, then I'd say
he's psychopathic he's no longer
a resnonsioie person.
There's no telling how long he
can continue eliminating people and
justifying it to himself. There was
the attempt on you, too. We've got
to find out who he is. It Isn't so
much that he has to be brought to
Justice as that he probably needs
hospitalization. There's some men
tal quirk that's warped his whole
judgment. 'meres no telling what
ne u ao next. He s got to be round
and quickly. Ellen."
"Of course youte, right. I should
nave realized that this morning.
Are you going to call the police.
or wiu you go aown mere your
self?" "I think I'd better go down. There
is too mucn to explain."
"Dennis, I'd like to go with you."
"Swell. I was going to suggest
that. I have to make the rounds
in the wards tomorrow, but I'll be
through at 10 o'clock. That be too
early lor you7"
"Oh. no. I'll be ud at the office
at 9 tomorrow morning. I've got to
type up a ust oi dooks to be placed
on me reserve sneu ior tne UDrary,
and then I'm through for the dav."
nan arove rapiaiy back to the
hospital, parked his car and went
dlrectlv upstairs to bed. He had
little difficulty getting to sleep, al
though ior a lew minutes he had a
vague uncomfortable feeling that
mere was sometmng important that
ne snouia be remembering.
