"Haven't you any idea who killed Perry Clarke, Kent? "No." "Not even a wild oneT" -No." Are you going to try and do anything about it" "Why ihould I?" "Well, you have helped the po lice before, you Know. "But not this time. Too many headaches in fooling around with murder case. "You don't think Hestor is mixed up with it?" "No "But if you should And out that she is. would you" "Oh, Lord," Murdock groaned. and nil voice sounaea as inougn he'd buried his ace in the pillow. "Well, would you?" "No. Why snould I? Clarke was I rat. you jam so yourseii. "Not rat. darling, i said" "You know what I mean. Prob ably ne bad it coming to him. I don't know who killed him, and I don't care and I'm not going to try and And out." He sat up: she could see nis silhouette against the window. "And neither are you. You keep out of it. She made no answer, but after he had flopped down again she did a lot of thinking. That slip of paper Kent had mentioned. Hes ter's name led the list and that $100,000 opposite it meant some' thing, in the back of ner mind the conviction grew that Hestor knew a great deal about tne deatn of Perrv Clarke, and she was elad now that she had promised Delia Stewart to keep her secret. Kent's reaction to her inquiry about Hestor settled that mucn lor ner. Inquisition 1TTHEN Kent and Joyce Murdock ' ' arrived at Hestor house the following morning at eleven o'clock. Lieutenant Bacon and his assistants had already eliminated those guests at the cocktail party who had no apparent contact with the late Perry Clarke: the others were gathered in the library. They said their good-mornings and found places, Joyce taking the leather divan next to Dean Thomdike and Hestor, and Mur dock perching on a window seat Delia Stewart was deep in a chair in one corner and ward Allen had chosen the bench in front of the fireplace. Bacon stood behind the desk until the Murdocks were seated: then he rubbed his chin and cleared his throat. "We'll get this over with Just as soon as we can," he said, glanc ing at the police stenographer who was seated off to one side, an open notebook in his lap and pencil poised. "You all know why you're here. I hope you'll co-operate." He sat down and rearranged some papers on the desk. When he looked up his gray eyes In spected each one in turn and fi nally came back to Hestor Lo sado. "How long were you married to him, Mrs. Losado? "About nine months." "That was In France?" Hestor nodded. "And after that you went to South America and married again. Clarke followed you there, didn't he?" "Hardly followed," Hestor said. "He came about a year later." "What was his business there?" "I'm not quite sure," Hestor aid. "He was an entertainer orig inally. He played piano and sang and acted as master of ceremonies we worked together when we were married and he did a little of that in Carvpia when he first arrived: later I Velieve he worked for some importing concern." JAPAN OVERDUE FOR BIG QUAKE, . EXPERTGLA1IVIS Mainland Averages 4 Slight Temblors Daily One Side Rising, Other Dips. By Paul J. Frledlander Wide World Features Writer New York Father J. Joseph Lynch, director of Fordhain university'! famous earthquake observatory, says Japan Is over due for a first class earthquake. He bases this on the pattern of major earthquakes during the past SO years. The pattern comes from these official Japa nese quake records: 1891, 7.000 persons killed. 1896, 27.000 killed. 1908, 1,500. 1923, 99.331 (the Kwanto quake that leveled Yokohama and one-third oi Tokyo.) 1927, 3.000. 1933. 3.000. 193$. 3.000. Father Lynch ruin out the 1935 quaka because it occurred in Formosa and not Japan pro per. The time between quakes was 5, 10, 17, 4 and 6 years for an average of one every eight years. It haa been nine years now since the last good-sized shock. Japan'i mainland averages nearly four slight temblors daily. Her east coast is alowly Keep 'Em Rolling- at Ashland Roller Rink Tue., Thur., Sat., Sun., Eves Plan Parly, (all rWHM Ahlanil "tor Hrallh'a ake. Roller Hkale' "Have you any idea why he came here?" For Just an Instant Hestor hesi tated and her glance slid oblique ly away. "No," she said. "I haven't "Hmm," Bacon said, and leaned back. Joyce Murdock drew back in the corner of the divan so that she could have a better view of Hestor. Remembering the slip of paper, she wondered when Bacon would produce it, and glanced briefly at Delia Stewart The girl sat "ery still, her knees together and her feet flat on the floor: her hands were tucked in her lap and although her eyes were on Hestor there was as yet nothing showing in her face to suggest that she was more than a casual spectator. "We found something in this wallet ' last night" Bacon said, "that I'd like to ask you about Mrs. Losado. A piece of paper. It has four names on it and yours is at the top. Opposite it was the figure $100,000. What was that for?" Hestor looked surprised and forgot to smile. She gave Bacon a glance of quick resentment "1 don't see how that concerns this investigation, since it was a personal matter, but if you must know" she lowered her glance "it was a debt" "Oh." Bacon's voice got dry and skeptical. "Clarke loaned you one hundred thousand dollars. "No. Lieutenant" Hestor said. "But sometimes when one is poor and rather desperate, one thou sand dollars has far greater value than one hundred times that amount later on." "It's a lot of money," Bacon said. "He figured you owed it and he was going to collect You didn't want to pay it " "On the contrary," Hestor said. "I had already paid it." Bacon sat up. "When?" he snapped. Hestor glanced at Dean Thorn dike, who shrugged well-tailored shoulders and eyed her sardon ically before he spoke. "Yesterday." he said. "Didn't you find them when you went over Clarke's room?" "Find what?" "The bonds. Negotiable b?nds. One hundred thousand dollars' worth." Jolt For Bacon DACONS neck got red and he openea his mouth, closed it and would have opened it again had it not been for the telepnone which rang at his elbow. "Just a minute." He scooped It up. "Bacon , speaking," he said, and then did quite a lot of listen ing before he added: "Okay, keep digging," and hung up. Now," he said. "1 want this straight Who's going to tell it?" "Mr. Thomdike," Hestor said. "Will you. Dean?" "The bonds were delivered yes terday afternoon," Thomdike said. "The evening before Mrs. Losado telephoned me and told me what she wanted me to do. I got in touch with Clarke and he came In yesterday morning 1 told him I'd have them for him by the end of the day. Ward deliv ered them." He glanced at Allen. "You have the receipt, haven't you? Ward Allen took an oblong slip of paper from his pocket unfold ed it and passed it to Thomdike. Bacon stood up. "I'd like to, see that." He ac cepted It from Thomdike, scowled at it, adding: .- can I Keep it lor a few days7 ' "I think so, yes," Thomdike said. 'Carry things like this around in' your pocket do you?" Bacon asked. Ward Allen met the lieuten ant's gaze steadily. "It was late around five when I delivered the bonds. I didn't go back to the office. I haven't been back this morning either, as you know." To be continued but appreciably rising out of the Pacific ocean while her west coast Is as steadily subsiding into the Sea of Japan. While the United Nations apparently do not intend to wait for geology to win the war, it may help. Except for modern steel and fire resistant construction in the heart of Tokyo and in other large cities, most of Japans' flimsy dwellings and business properties are made of light wood, flexible enough to absorb these minor shocks, aud highly inflammable. They make ideal subjects for incendiary bombs. For further details, see Brig. Uen. James H. Doolittle and the boys who helped bomb Tokyo. 17 Major Volcanoes Japan's 17- major volcanoes, many still active, are less prom ising for the United Nations. Their shadows fall principally on rural communities of little wartime importance and they are unpredictable. That is why Japan's little peo ple always eye their towering mountains, like "extinct run yama'a 12.395-foot cone. Bandai san also was supposed to be ex tinct when it broke its long qui escence in 1888. Lava, earth avalanches and rock falls buried four hamlets, partially des yed seven villages, killed 461 and devastated 27 square miles. Can't Rush Nature Armchair generals have been wondering whether American bombers coul d not artificially stir Japan's volcanoes into anti Axis action with some well placed bombs. Father Lynch set his staff to wi.rk and decided it could not be done. "The forces that cause volca noes have been working for cen turies," Father Lynch explained. "A few tons of dynamite in com- barlson would have no effect upon them." The army did not make these inquiries. "They have better places to drop their bombs." Father Lynch said, "than ou volcanoes."
