Murder in New Orleans
By BRETT HALLIDAY
(Author of the Michael .Shayne Stories)
(Chapter Two)
"Shouldn't you tell him?" Lucy
asked, alarmed. "He can't possibly
catch the murderer without know
ing who was kiiled."
"Nuts. Denton couldn't catch a
cold in a flu epidemic. Get me the
fit. Charles hotel," he went on swift
ly. "Ask if a W. D. Carson has reg
istered with them and get his room
number,"
. Shayne pulled a bottle of cognac
from the drawer of his desk, and
took a long drink. As he ruturned
the bottle to the drawer. Lucy ap
peared in the doorway. She was
excited.
"You were right, Mike. Mr. W.
D. Carson has room three-o-slx, but
ne isn't in."
Shayne got up and put on his
nat. uKay, ne saia.
He went out of the office and
down the hall to the elevator.
After reaching the sidewalk,
Shayne loitered along looking in
show windows. Out of the corner
of ills eyes he was searching for
anyone who showed signs of trail
ing him. Then he walked a short
distance to an alley and darted into
it.
By a circuitous route he made
his way to another street where
ne hailed a cab.
As they passed the intersection
of Gravier, he told the driver to
pull to the curb and stop. He got
out, waitea until tne can roared
away, then hurried to the St,
Charles hotel.
Entering the lobby, he went to a
waiting elevator and got off at the
third floor. He swung down the
hall to Room 306, and took out
a ring of keys. The second key he
selected opened the door. He slid
inside and closed the door behind
him.
Except for a soiled white shirt
tossed across the neatly made bed
and an expensive pigskin suitcase
lying on a chair, the room bore
no evidence of occupancy.
Shayne wrapped a handkerchief
over his right hand and went to
the suitcase. It contained an extra
clean white shirt, size fifteen; un
dershirts and shorts, thirty-four
waist, and socks, handkerchiefs and
ties. The sizes were about right
w in tne aeaa ooay.
He found no personal belongings
in me room.
He went back to the lobby and
strolled around until he spotted a
tall, thin-faced man.
Shayne went up to him. "HI,
Steve," he said.
Steve Bodell took a slim cigar
from his mouth and said, "Hello,
Mike. Working?"
"Sort of. Can you get me some
dope on Three-O-Six?"
The house detective studied
Shayne warily with bright blue eyes.,
He returned in ten minutes with
a slip of paper in his hand. He
sat down beside Shayne and read
from his notes:
"W. D. Carson. Small town bank
er from Cheepwee. Been stopping
here off and on for four years
sometimes with his wife. Checked
in at four-thirty yesterday. Said
he was only staying overnight. Made
one phone call from his room." He
gave Shayne the telephone number.
"Thanks. Steve." he said.
Rodell folded the slip of paper
and uut it in his Docket. "Carson
made that call at scven-slxtcen and
no one remembers seeing him
around since. His key Is in the
box and the maid reported he had
not slept in nis bed."
Shayne said, "Good work," and
started to get up.
Rodell detained him by a ges
ture. "Hold it, Mike. What gives?
Anything we ought to have?"
Shayne shrugged. "If you want
to lend Captain Denton a helping
hand, you might take someone down
to the morgue, look at a corpse
and toll Denton his name is W. D.
Carson. And if you want to'hnng
a real load of trouble around my
neck you can tell him where the
tip came from."
"Denton has an unidentified body?
Is that it?"
"That's it." Shayne explained
tile whole situation. "Do what you
want about it. If Denton can prove
I refused to cooperate, he figures
to jerk my license."
"Can you keep the hotel out of
it?" Rodell asked.
"I can try."
"That's more than Denton would
do," Rodell said. "Let him identify
his own bodies."
Shayne thanked Rodell again,
then went over to a telephone
booth and called the number Ro
dell had Riven him.
A pleasant feminine voice said,
-j-aric riaza Apartments.'
Shavne hunir ud. He looked in
tile directory and found that the
Park Plaza was on Bourbon street.
He hurred outside and got in a
waiting tnxl.
"Park Plaza on Bourbon," he said
as the cab pulled away.
The Park Plaza was a new brick
building. Shayne entered a small
lobby with a glass-enclosed office
near the elevator.
A girl was seated at the small
open window. When Shayne came
up she smiled and said, "Yes?"
"I'm a detective," Shayne told
her. "I'm trying to get a line on
one of your guests. A man was
murdered last night. We know he
made a call from the St. Charles
Hotel to this number at seven-six-teen
Inst night. It might help us a
lot to know whom he called here,
because that person may be the last
one who talked to him before he was
killed."
She shook her head regretfully.
T don't see how I can help you.
We don't keep track of Incoming
calls."
"Could you check and see if any
of your people called the St.
Charles between four-thirty -yesterday
and two this moraine?"
"That's won't be very dlUicult."!
sne turnea to a large ruiea aay-book.
Shayne lighted a cxgaret while
he waited. It was half -smoked when
she closed the book and said, "No I
calls to the St. Charles."
Shayne frowned. "What sort of
people live here?" he asked. "Could
vou cive me a list of their names.
and some sort of description of
them?"
"I'm afraid what I could give you
won't help," she said. "You see,
all but two of our tenants are
middle-aged couples who have lived
here for years and years. Miss
Etta Hobson in One-F, and Mr.
Svdnev G. Jones In Two-A."
"Do you know anything about!
eiiner ox tnem?
"Well. Miss Etta Hobson looks
about thirty, but she dyes her hair
to hide the gray. She's a saleslady, I
but has more money than most!
salesladies."
"What about Mr. Sydney Jones?"
The girl made a grimace of dis
taste with her full red lips. "He's
thin and has halitosis. I ituess he's
about thirty. I don't know what he!
does. He's only been here about!
four months. Elaine tnats uiei
night operator told me he never!
nets in until two or three o'clock)
in the morning." I
Shayne said, "Thanks very inucn,"
and went out.
He took a cab to his oil ice.
Lucv Hamilton looked ud when
he walked into tne reception oi-
fice.
"It's that Captain Denton, she
salt! anarilv. "He friahtens me. I
You know verv well hes had it in!
for you ever since the Margo Ma-
con case when you made him look!
like an idiot."
And he framed you on a dis
orderly conduct rap," Shayne re
minded her teasinitiy.
Shayne said. "Here's what I want
vou to do. Call the Park Plaza and!
asic lor Mr. syoney u. jones. ieu
him you're Mrs. Carson from Cheep-1
wee. and that you're worried about!
your husband. Listen carefully to!
what he says and use your woman s
intuition for what he doesn't say. I
Then call the Rirl who 11 be oni
duty at the switchboard at the
Park Plaza and find out where Miss
Bobson is employed as a sales-)
lady."
Ins Dec tor Quintan was flitting be
hind his desk when Shayne walked)
in.
"How are you and Denton hitting

'Not too well." Shayne pulled I
ud a chair and sat down. "He
searched mv office this morning."
advised him against it, out
Denton is stubborn. He thinks
you're holding out on htm and)
he's hell-bent on Droving it."
Shavne scowled. "What have you
got on the dead man thus lar? '
"All I know is what I hear rum
ored around the corridors."
Shavne looked at him with ln-i
credulity. "Aren't you handling it?"
its uentons Daoy.
Hell! You're still head of Homi
cide aren't you?"
"Theoretically." The inspector's I
voice was mild. "But Denton not!
a sDccial dispensation from the po
lice commissioner to take over last
night's Job. It was in his precinct."
"You wouldn't mind having that
ense tied up in a bundle and handed
to you while he's still running
around in circles, '
"No I wouldn't mind that at all,")
Ouinlan airreed nuietlv. "But don't I
do it, Shayne. If you told the truth
last night and don't know the man,
his murder doesn't mean anything!
to you."
He was a prospective cueni.
Shayne said. "Somebody beat me
out of a possible fee when he was
gunned. I can't sit back and let
ireople kill off my clients before
tney enn get to me.
Youre as stuooorn as uenion.
He asked for this," Shayne said
amrrilv.
"Pushing you out on a limb,"
Oulnlnn nurccd nlacldlv.
"Ail right, ho im out on a nmo.
What killed the man?"
"A slue from a thirty-two. One
of those short-barrelled S and W's."
"A Banker's Special," Shayne
mused. "Very appropriate. Sure it
wasn't suicide? I
"What do you mean by appro-)

shnrp glance. "What suggests sui
cide to vou?''
"Just shooting off my mouth,"
Shayne assured him hastily. "Go
nhend. So It wasn't suicide?"
"Hardly. The direct course of
the bullet into his heart from close
up precludes that. Patrolman Mo
ran heard the shot at one-twenty
while on hts beat. It took him about
four minutes to Ret to the scene.
A car pulled away fast as he came
up on tit. J-iOius. ine man nan
died instantly and the body had
been senrched evidently in great I
nasie. since tne appointment dock
wasn't taken."
"What docs Ballistics say about
the slug?"
"They guess It was fired from a
Bulldog s and W. It's plenty good
for comparison if they get another
one to matcn it wun.
Shayne nodded and got up.
Lucy Hamilton was hangmg up
the telephone when he returned to
his oitice. She made a wry lace.
"I just finished talking to that
guy Jones," sue said. I
"Mr. Sydney Jones?" Shayne)
grinned widely. "What did you find
out?"
Til at Mr. Svdnev Jones is
louse. He wnntcd me to call himj
Svd. and when I told him 1 was
Mrs. Carson and was worried about
my husband, he wanted me to come
to his apartment to toll him all
about it."

over to pinch her pointed chin.
Lucy pushed his hand away and
grew prim.
"What about Miss Etta Hobson?"
"The girl at the switchboard tried
to find out WHY I wanted to know
where Miss Hobson worked before
she'd tell me. She sounded awfully
curious and excited. She finally
told me that Miss Hobson worked
at the Vogue Dress Shop."
Shoyne said, "I'll check on them
later. Right now I'm going to take
a short trip to Cheepwee. I'll wire
you If anything important comes
up."
(Will Shayne discovei the secret
of the murder in Cheepwee? Don't
miss tomorrows installment).
