PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY AUGUST 11, 1942.' Chapter 43 Quick Torn "TTARDACKER must have known there were three people to call on Perry Clarke." Joyce laid. "He knew one of them had the envelope but he could not be ture which of them took it How could be be ture? He came to Delia but ihe didn't admit the had it He threatened her but that waa all he could do at the time. He must also have gone to the other two with the lame idea, de ciding to follow up if all de nied having it The actual killer did not have it but he mutt have known how serious thing! were for him. He must have stalled like Delia did. I think he may have promised to furnish it which is why Delia wasn't called yesterday noon as Hardacker promised.' She took a breath, trying to see It the was convincing anyone. The guilty one muit have made a date with Hardacker last night When he got there he knew he'd have to kill him. He not only didn't have the envelope but he also must have realized that with Hardacker alive he could never be sate. He found out about Delia I can't be sure whether be or Hardacker called her. or whether Hardacker was forced to make the call but after that he ihot him." "Where was he when Raeburn came up then?" Fenner asked. "I can only guess," Joyce said. I only know what I'd do. He knows Delia ii coming. Unless he intendi to kill her too he can't be aeen: he doesn't want Delia to know Hardacker is dead, either and most of all he cannot be aure that she will obey orders and come alone. He dragged the body out of the way, , but he wouldn t wait in the office, since he couldn't be lure she'd be alone; ... I think he went out in the hall and hid. Perhaps on the stairs above. 'Then, if Delia waa alone, it would be easy to follow her in. But it was Raeburn who came first When that happened the killer knew his plan was ruined and he must get out He did be fore we drove up. He waited down the street Delia went in and we all know what happened. Raeburn came out and down the street and that'i how he hap pened to lose the envelope. The Killer was hiding in a doorway or some place where he could step out and hit Raeburn over the head." Bard To Persuade ' FENNER grunted and looked annoyed. "That figuring li okay, but It's all guesswork. If Raeburn didn't kill Hardacker I'd believe it But you haven't proved he didn't You said you could." "Well, how would he have killed him, do you think?" "He went in there with a gun and stuck Hardacker up." "Yes," Joyce said. "He'd have to have a gun, wouldn't he?" "Certainly. He held it on Hard acker. Even then, when Hard acker saw it coming, he tried to pull his own. He might have made it but for that lining in his coat." "That's what I thought" Joyce said. 'That's why I know Rae burn didn't kill him." "Yeah, but" "Where did he get the gun?" "He brought it with him," Fen ner said impatiently. "No." Joyce hesitated. Her voice got quick and excited. "He left police headquarter! at nine forty. He took a cab on the cor ner and wai let out a block from the office at five of ten. Lieuten ant Bacon told us that We drove up at five after ten. "Raeburn wai upstairs before that and it must have taken him four or five minutes to walk from where he was let out up to the office. He certrinly didn't leave the police station with a gun. They wouldn't allow that would they? And he didn't stop enroute to Morton Street Where did he get the gun? There were no storei nearby where he could get one, nothing wai open. And yet the killer must have had a gun because" "Okay," Fenner said. He moved away from the door and leaned against the wall. He rubbed hit nose and looked at Murdock. He waited a little longer before he spoke. The killer had to have gun, otherwise Hardacker'i rod woudn't have been in his holster. Raeburn didn't have a gun couldn't get one, that is. therefore Raeburn is not the killer." He shook his head. "And they lay women aren't logical." Something warm and vitalizing swept through Joyce on the heels of relief. She even smiled a little at Fenner. "It's about personal things like love they lay women aren t log ical," she said. "And so many things are personal to a woman that we have that reputation." Ward Confesses SHE felt Kent's hand on her arm. She glanced up. His dark eyci were worried but he smiled and took her back to her chair. Fenner wai still watching her. "That changes things, huh?" He tipped his head, looking first at John Nason, then at Dean Thorndike and finally at Ward Allen. "If Raeburn didn't who did?" His eyes came back to Joyce. "Any ideas on that?" "One," she said. "I'm not sure but " She paused, trying to think, to know just what to do. She looked at Delia sitting there beside Dean Thorndike, seeing the strained whiteness in the girl's face, the misery in her eyes. She brought her glance back to her lap, summoning her resolve that she might ignore the sickness in her heart and tell them what she thought. She was groping for a beginning when a voice cut across the room. "I guess the odds have caught up with me, it said. "It 11 be easier all around if I admit it now." 'Ward!" Delia sad. Just that one tortured word. Ward Allen had moved nearer the settee and stood quite close to her. He did not look at her. He held his chin up and waited, meeting every itare defiantly. lou recognized my voice," ne said to Joyce. "The night you found me in Delia's apartment." "No," Joyce said huskily. "I saw you from the window when you started down the street." "So." Fenner said. "You're the guy, huh?" "Hardacker came to me as he came to Delia." Ward was still talking to Joyce. "And I found some passkeys in a pawnshop and went up, thinking that the envelope must be there. . , . Your theory was quite good, Joyce: all except one point. There were but two callers that night at Perry Clarke's Delia and myself." "How about the blood on the front of his pants?" Murdock asked. "Clarke got up and went to the door." Allen looked at him, hesitating. "I don't know how you knew but yes, he did. I'd thought he was dead. I thought he'd lied to me about the envelope and the bonds. I went in the bedroom and when I came out I saw he had revived. He was on his feet and struggling to open the door: before I could reach him he fell back."
