PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 1942. 1 M VyiPi i fr yOtySp" Harmon Chapter 39 llardacker's Share DACON looked at a muffin and was lost He broke it and reached for nil butter knife. "Hardacker found out when the woman was supposed to have ar rived in town, checked the hotels and learned she'd stopped at the Rita for three days. He got her forwarding address it was the house she rented hung around out there unti' Clarke showed: then be tailed Clarke to nil apart ment That was two days before he was murdered." "Who rented that other apart ment? Murdock asked. "Hardacicer. Raeburn came In the office the day Hardacker got Clarke's address. He said ne wanted Clarke followed but par ticularly He wanted to know who came to see him: and if he -could, for Hardacker to look over Clarke's apartment and never mind the expense. So Hardacker knows he can t stand out in the street and tell by looking at peo ple what apartment they're going to. so ne inquires about vacancies land rents himself the place across the hall. That much the girl knows. b?cause he told her. But she doesn't know whether Rae burn knew that Hardacker had rented the apartment. He munched his muffin and washed it down with coffee. While Murdock and Fenner ex changed glances, he picked up the other hall ana buttered that. "How do you figure Raeburn killed Hardacker then?" Fenner asked. Bacon looked up through his browa and kept on eating until nea nnisnen the mumn. "You ...ink he didn'J?" "I asked vou how vou figured.1 Fenner said. "Raeburn hired him for a job ot work. Why does he kill him7- "He could have tried to black mail him. couldn't he?" "Not Hardacker." "That's what you say." Bacon put down his cup. "According to you fellows every guy with a private license is a clean, ud standing citizen, honest as the day is long ana a Boy scout at heart. 1 Know aircerent. Bacon Explains JOYCE MURDOCK put out her cigarette and leaned back in her chair, her frown fixed and in tent as she followed Bacon's story. "Hardacker knew Miss Stewart had been to see Clarke." Bacon gestured towards Delia with the butter knife. "He knew there were some papers In that aoart- ment because he told her there were, so he must have given it a going over some time. And what about those bonds? Maybe he knew and maybe he didn't Any way he told her she wasn't the only one to be up there Ward Allen had been there, that I'll guarantee. He can say he didn't throw that gun away until he's Diue in me race, put i say ne am. "We searched his place. On the cuff of one of his suits was a .snail blood stain. I can't prove it was Clarke's I couldn't make it stand .up in court, but I'm saying Allen waa there. And if he didn't kill him, who came to that apartment between Miss Stewart and him?" He turned again to Delia. "You're sure you didn't recognize the voire of the man who knocked?" "I'm not even sure it was a man," Delia said. Bacon gave her a curious look but kept talking. "The man she heard knock is the killer if it wasn't Ward Allen. Allen came in later, found Clarke dead. He didn't know he was dead, prob ably. Bent over him to see and got , blood on his sleeve. He was rat Siamese Twins in Iowa Judith Ann Sabers takes a drink of milk as her Siamese twin. Janet Mary, awaits her turn in a Dubuque, Iowa, hospital. Nurse Eileen Weis holds the bottle. The babies. Joined at the base of tha spina, were born July 21 to Mrs. Floyd Sabers, 2(. who lives on a farm near New Vienna. Ia. They weighed a total of nine pounds, 10 ounces at birth. Dr. Carl B. Hall said thay "hava a good chance to lite," tled. Maybe he didnt even know he picked up the gun until he got out of the place and found it in his hand. . . . But never mind that 1 say Hardacker hid a pretty good idea who killed Clarke. If it was Raeburn what would that make Hardacker?" Raeburn knows Hardacker is watch mt Clarke's apartment but he kills r.im anyway, huh?" Fen ner said dryly. "And what if Raeburn doesnt know that Hardacker had hired the apartment? Suppose he didn't actually intend to kill him but got in a spot where he had to? Afterwards he doesn't knsw that Hardacker is wise. And Hardacker is not going up to him right oil and say. 1 know vou killed him. pal. but It s okay witl me. Ho. Hardacker'! going to play it cozy until he finds out what the score is." "Then what?" Fenner asked. Bacon started to answer, then stopped. His face flushed and he reached over to the ashtray to retrieve his stogie, pointed it at Fenner. "I should waste my breath on you." He leaned back, looking at Murdock. "There's plenty 1 don't know. It's not pat by a long shot This Losado woman, for instance. How did Raeburn know so much about her? That's something I'm going to ask her when I get time. And those bonds. Who got 'em? Raeburn? And that envelope. We're not even sure whether that's the important thing or not" Just In Time THE telephone rang in the liv ing room and he stopped until Loretta said the call was for Delia. Bacon stood up and leaned on the back of his chair. "Hardacker must've got in touch with leaeburn after the killing or the lirst thing the next morn ing and told him what he knew or enough of it so that Raeburn could add it up and find out where he stood. But Raeburn couldn't do much about it then because we pinched him, and we've had him locked up ever since. Until last night , , , Hard acker knew plenty, all right, but he was a private dick and he wouldn't tell us." He gave Fen ner a sour glance. "Oh nol He had to get in there and pitch for Hardacker first Delia came back. 'That was Uncle Dean." she said. "He sounded frightfully worried. He's coming over now. She paused, frowning. "He said when he couldn't get me last night he thought I might be out with Ward." She looked at Bacon. When was Mr. Allen released?" "Last night" "What time?" "Oh about seven-thirty." Delia looked at Jovce and sat down, her eye. troubled. "Oh." she said finally. "I didn't know. i tnougnt ne might call me when he got out but I guess " Joyce knew how she felt and started to say something com forting, but Murdock spoke up. "What time did you let Rae burn out?" "Jt Tt In ilu.fi." Bacon said. "Around twentv minutes of tn Funny thing." He looked at Fen ner. ''When you called and told me what happened and it looked like there was a tie-up between Clarke and Hardacker I was all set to grab Allen and so to town on him. Then when Mrs. Murdock said she'd seen Raeburn" he nodded to Joyce "that was okay too. Raeburn knew what he had to do and he made a bee-line for Har dacker's office. . . . We found the hack thai took him. The driver was cruising by Headquarters when Raeburn flagged him. The cabby let him out at the corner of Morton and Green that's lust a block from Hardacker's olfice at five of ten."
