Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1942, Chapter 38 Call From Joyce JACK TENNER swung his little ledan into the driveway, drove up under the porte-cochere, and topped there. "We might as well us the so elety entrance." Murdock eyed him glumly. "I ifnn't like this much." "You've got the wrong atti tude," Fenner laid, opening the door. "You were married to her once and now That's tat nothing to do with It," Murdock Mid. "I just don't like the idea of trying to bully her when I don't think ihe knowi anvthinc about the case anyway. "Look." Fenner became point . edly patient. "This dame nas got a definite hook-up with Raeburn, right? And your wife can put Raeburn in the chair practically singlehanded. If Raeburn finds that out and he wouldn't have to be very smart if he can read the papers and put two and two together nes going 10 nope something happens to her. right?" "Ob, quietr Murdock said. "Get out We'll talk to her." The butler looked doubtful when he opened the door. "Mrs. Losado is engaged at the moment. "We'll wait," Fenner said and pushed in. Murdock followed. "Just lay that Mr. Murdock would like to see her. Tell her I won't keep her long- He had been moving along the short corridor as he spoke and was now nearly to the main halL The butler shrugged with his eye brows and withdrew, and pres ently Hestor appeared. "Why. Kent how nice" She stopped abruptly, seeing Fenner, and the smile faded. She looked questioningiy from one o the other, and Murdock made the introduction. Tve heard a lot about you," Fenner said. "And all of it's true." Hestor looked him un and down, with some hauteur at first and then, seeing bis grin, wltn more interest "Would that ba a compliment?" he asked. "It would." A smile touched her glance and he turned to Murdock. "John Nason's here. Would you rather wait or" "Nason?" Murdock hesitated, finding the name an injection which stimulated many dormant thoughts. "No. He might be in terested in this too." John Nason rose when they en tered the drawing room, blond, square-faced and powerful-looking. Beneath the bushy brows his gray eyes examined the trio in one swift glance and then became expressionless. Hestor Angry SHE sat down and the others followed. "The police haven't been here, have they?" Murdock asked. "They telephoned," Hestor said. "I told them they could come Iter lunch." "Do you laiow why they tailed?" "About Perry Clarke, I pre lume." Murdock glanced at Fenner, knowing that .if he did not con tinue, the detective would. "Have you seen Raeburn?" "Why no." "Have you been tn touch with ' him at all?" Hestor's glance slid over to Na son and came back. "I'm afraid I don't understand," si said. "I've Just told you" "A man by the name of Hard acker was murdered last night" Murdock said. "Apparently by the same person who killed Perry Clarke. Hardacker was a private detective, and he was working for Raeburn. The way it looks now, Raeburn is the one who killed him and Clarke." Hestor's mantle of graciousness had slipped away. "Ana how." she asked, her glance reynttul, "does that con cern me? "You know Raeburn," Murdock laid. "And we thought you might nave some line on him," Fenner added. Hestor looked him up ana down. "Is that why you came?" she snapped. "Because you think I'm I'm harboring a murderer?" Fenner was unimpressed. "It's like this," he said, and began to tell her what had happened. Watching the lawyer as Fenner continued, he concentrated, re membering things about Nason that had come to light over the past two years, reviewing the business activities that had been newsworthy enough to warrant a paragraph or twj in the Courier Herald. Suddenly he was aware that not only was there a possible connection between Nason's field of business and Hestor's story, but also a very timely and perti nent connection. , . . Fenner had finished and Hes tor's mouth had tightened. "I'm sorry," she said, "but I don't care to discuss it I don't know any thing about Raeburn and I resent your inference that I do." She gave Murdock a hard bright look. T'If that's the reason you came I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to excuse me." Murdock flushed. He watched Hestor rise to put an end to the discussion. He did not move. Murdock glanced at Fenner. He was completely at ease. He was leaning back in bis chair, legi crossed, a grin on his lips and a challenge in his eyes. Even when Hestor glared at him nothing changed. "She doesn't have to listen." Murdock'a flush remained and so did his stubbornness. "But we may And someone else who'd like to know that she had never been married to Miguel Losado." Nason Speaks HESTOR'S face blanched. Her eyes blazed and for a moment her acquired veneer cracked. "Why you" she said. "You " She choked off and Murdock went on, implacably. "You told me you married Lo sado in July. Isn t that right?" Hestor was either too angry or confused to answer and he did not wait "Just a minute, please." John Nason got to his feet and looked at Murdock and then at Fenner. His face was impassive, his voice smooth. He waited until he was sure of everyone s attention. "The fact that Mrs. Losado was married or divorced on a certain date has nothing to do with the payment of her inheritance." "Hasn't it?" Murdock said. Pausing, as though for empha sis, Nason continued: "Had Miguel Losado died intestate, and had Mrs. Losado not been legally mar ried, then your contention would apply, nut he aid not He left a wilt He mentioned in that will the name of Hestor Losado. And so long as he did that. Mr. Mur dock, Tier legal marital status is beside the point His intent was clear and that is the crux of the matter." Murdock looked at him and said nothing. He watched Nason pass a hand over his short blond hair, noting the pointed, close-set ears. He looked at Fenner and that worthy tilted his brows and let them fall. Somewhere In the house a tele phone rang. Still no one spoke al though Hestor's look was elo quent and contemptuous. The but ler appeared in the doorway. "Yes, toward, nestor said. "The telephone, madam. For Mr. Murdock." "Thanks. Murdock rose. "Ex cuse me, please." The telephone was at the rear of the hall and when he answered it Joyce s voice came back to him. "Kent. Will you do something for me?" "I don't know. What?" 'Will you and Jack come over to Ward Allen's and do you think you could bring Hestor?" "What for? What're you" "Ward1! ffninff awav. Kent Delia's gone over to talk to him and I've just 'phoned him and asked him to wait" "Hei crary," Mirdock laid. "Of course he is. And we have to stop him. I think we can if we all get together and tell the truth," Te be canUaard Washington, Aug. 5 OP) President Roosevelt said today he expected to complete within two or three days hts review ,of the evidence and findings of the military commission which tried eight alleged nazi saboteurs.

Steuben found th continental troops raw and undisciplined, and he proceeded to apply Prussian drill tactics. Thus to him is owed th greatest part of th discipline of American soldiers during th Revolu tionary war. He also wrote a handbook for training troops which was important long after he had ceased any connection with th army. Steuben did not return fo Germany, but settled in New York and was granted a pension by th grateful U. S. Congress. HAP HOPPER.
