DISCOVERIES CHAPTER n Afterwards ciyde Dawon : wondered what prompted him to attend the formal inquest that followed the hanging. There was no apparent need for him as a; member of the Canadian Intelli gence Department to attend in fact, ha had plenty of reason not to go because in the pre-execu-tlon period he had developed a sincere liking for the condemned , Lemoy Sutler. But the girl's snapshot with its humorous reference to Hedy La in arr had left him restless. Blind alleys made him unhappy, sutler's death didn't remove the necessity of tracing backwards to possible spy ring connections. If he was Involved with others they cer tainly followed the trial and saw no espionage was hinted. They would feel that Siailer, true to the spy's code, had kept his Identi ty hidden even to deatn. That afternoon while having lunch at the Newfoundland Hotel, Dawson was paged for a telephone call. It was the unaertaKer ne had hired. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Daw son," he said, "but you told me to report anything unusual I may have found before removing the body to the graveyard. well there was only one thing perhapi it is silly but . ..1 "Yes, jtM, what Is it?" cut In Dawson. "Well, sir, in the heel of the dead man's right shoe between the sock and the flesh, was a piece of beefsteak." "A piece of beefsteak?" ex claimed Dawson. "Was anything hidden in it?" "Nothing that I could find. It was just a good piece of sirloin cut to the exact shape of his heel. Of course, it might be poisoned or . . ." Dawson told the undertaker not to remove the body until he had further orders. Slowly he walked back to the dining room, his mind in utter confusion. "There axe more goofy twists to this case than a pretzel," he mut tered to himself. "Now why would a condemned man hide a piece of beefsteak in the heel of his shoe?" The chief jailer knew nothing about it but summoned the six guards who had alternated in pairs: on the Death Watch for eight-hour shifts. The answer to the riddle was almost ridiculously simple. "This statler fella hurt his heel walking In hi stocking feet to the ?sh basin yesterday," one of the guards declared. "He stepped on a bit of plaster and caused what he called a bone bruise. He limped after that and then asked me to get him a little bit of raw steak about the size of his heel- said it was the only way to fix a neei Hurt that way." Dawson's eyes were beginning to sparKie. "Any of you ever near nf that remedy before?" The chief jailer and guards all (book their heads. "That's because, gentlemen, you were never athletes. This has been a great help to me thanks a million to you alL" JJAWSON actually felt cheerful puuueu uio American colon eL The first ray of light had poked through the mystery. . The colonel listened attentively uawsoni request. Yes, the U. S. Army force had a physical instructor with them, a Sergt Del Pose, formerly with some Illinois college an all-round athlete and topnotch instructor. 1 Within an hour, Rose was in the chief jailer's- office. Dawson seated him at the desk and ex plained the purpose of his request: "If you aren't squeamish, ser geant, there's a job to be done here and I believe you are prob ably the only man in Newfound Hand qualified to do it ". . ." the (sergeant smiled appreciation. "A lew rooms down there lies the Doay of a man who was hanged this moraine. I learned that h had bruised the bottom of his heel yesterday and ordered a piece of beefsteak to place against the flesh. That indicated to me that he had at some time taken part in major athletics, because it is a trick used only by topnotch train- lers ..." i The sergeant interrupted: - "Perfectly true, Mr. Dawson. I (have met many doctors who didn't know that trick." "Fine! Now, sergeant, here is the pob. Could you examine that body Snd give me any hint of what par cular sport or snorts hit ntavoH n t judging solely from signs of any i viu injuries mat may sun be evi dent?" The sergeant remained silent for a full minute before replying: "I believe I could make a aoaA stab at it "My initial observation would be that the man has all the ex terior signs of a former athlete," said Rose, looking intently at the body. "That was a while back but not so very far perhans 10 to is lyears ago. He isn't flabby as non athletic men of his size often nn Again, it la fairly obvious that his loft shoulder had been broken at eome time it is larger than the right and of rather awkward shape." Dawson pointed to an obvious suture marking on the dead man's right side. ' "Yes, I noticed that," , com mented Rose. "It certainly isn't a post-opnrntlve incision. I'd say it was made by some knife-like point say, like a hockey skate. There are also marks of blows around the mouth, deep rideea that have COPYHIOHT. 14. NKA SCRVICC, INC. Almost disappeared with the years. They are more likely hockey in juries than any other type." TgACH man picked up one of the stiffened hands and unclenched the fists an extremely difficult task. "Uh-huh," said Dawson, "he played baseball all right not as much as a professional, perhaps, but quite a bit judging by one badly twisted finger knuckle and another partially twisted on his right hand." "That's so," agreed the sergeant, "you notice the lingers on his leii hand are intact because he must have worn the glove on tills one. Now let's look at his hip . . . no doubt about it. Mr. Dawson, you note there is a patch of oddly col ored skin on his left hip. That's the result of what we call 'straw berries' in baseball bruised, torn patches of skin caused by sliding into bases." j There were no suture marks on !the fronts of the deceased's legs Jbut they noted a slight one over the Achilles tendon at the rear of the ankle bone. "Might have been done either by a skate or a baseball cleat," murmured the sergeant, but . . ." ;he leaned over the right foot, "hero lis something positively definn. 'You arc Uus suture marking along the inside of the foot? Well, that was almost 99 per cent certain to have been caused by a skate tip." Dawson cut in: "Okay, sergeant now in what sports would you say Lemoy Statler specialized?" The other's reply was immediate. "Baseball and hockey beyond a doubt and quite a bit of it But I agree with you that he hasnt the appearance of Injury marks of a man who had been through the professional millVas he an edu cated chap?" "Very much so," answered Daw son. "I wouldn't be surprised if he had been a law student ho- THIS CURIOUS WORLD k3CnB'ar Tfc.

Dawson con cluded, "where they play a lot of hockey and baseball. There cant be so many of them in Canada and the Northern States. If the depart ment at Ottawa sends out circulars containing the photo of Statler taken after his arrest to all such universities and mentions that he was likely a prominent university athlete specializing hi hockey and baseball about 10 or IS years ago, there is an excellent chance that we'll learn his identity from one of them . , ." Dawson turned to the under taker. "Carry on with the funeral --ond be sure to replace the piece of beefsteak on the heel. I hope it helps poor Lemoy as much as it helped me!"
