re
vealed the following facts: Obad
iah had been killed by a rock
thrown through a window near
which he was sitting, reading. We
knew he had been sitting there
reading because Moses Morris, a
neighbor had passed by in the early
evening and noticed the light in
Obadiah’s window, and noticed
Obadiah sitting beside it. Moses
had gone up the road looking for
a cow that had strayed. He found
the cow and started back and no
ticed that Obadiah had shifted his
position.
Something about the way the
old man looked aroused Moses’
curiosity, and he went up close
and saw blood on Obadiah’s
temple. Moses went on home
and called the police.

We corrobrated this by talking to
neighbors who had heard Moses
calling the cow, and by discovering
footprints and hoofprints outside
the window, and by the fact that
Obadiah was a mean old
man . . . everybody hated him.
Oscar Jones, another neighbor, had
come by while Moses was looking
in the window.
So we discounted Moses as a
possible suspect, and went to work
on the others who had hated Oba
diah. There was, for example,
Rcscoe Norbert, who lived a mile
away, and who had been helping

Walt Disney discovered while
doing research for his "Cinder

slipper wasn’t glass at all, but
fur. Charles Perrault, when he
wrote the famous story more
than 300 years ago, said the
slipper was “ pantouffle en

words for “ en verre” , or glass.

I went back into the bedroom.
Doc was stuffing things back into

“ Been dead about five hours,”
he said.
“ How?”
“ Some blunt instrum ent."
“ The rock, eh?”
“ Could have been.”
Just then Owen came in. He

said.
