AT LaGuardia airport in New York, a cable caught up with Clyde ' Dawson just as he was boarding an evening plana for Chicago. " It was from the chief of police at St. John's and read: "Body of man avacufpd here December six found by i cemetery caretaker to have . been mutilated In vault STOP ." Right hand missing STOP Frankly am up well known ' tree but chasing down every lead STOP Have you any ideas?" - , Dawson smiled to himself as he took a telegraph blank from the waiting messenger. It must have hurt the chief a graduate of Scotland Yard's famed Criminal Investigation Department to ca ble such a frustrated confession. "Think nothing of it Chief ; STOP Tho missing hand is temporarily in cold storage at . . North Sydney while the play- ful lad who did the chopping is being detained by the Do minion Intelligence Depart- -ment in Halifax STOP Will explain fully later STOP Will be at Eddington Hotel in Chi r cago for few days if you wish contact with me Regards" ,, , - ".a . rpHE dean of State University received Dawson the next aft ernoon and 'got to the point im mediately. ;-, , ' "Now here's the' -story about Darwin 1emoy . . '"Who?" ; ' 1 ' "Darwin Lemoy, the man whose picture was sent to me by your department at Ottawa . . ." : So that was it, roused Dawson. Lemoy Statler's real name was Darwin Lemoy. ?Well, Lemoy was one of the university's all-time, all-round athletic stars.' He was particularly able in hockey - 1 "Baseball too, perhaps?" - "Oh yes,. baseball too. He cap tained a : championship 1 diamond team, but it was in hockey that he won his brightest spurs. I even understand that at one time the Boston Bruins and Chicago Hawks made him offers, but he said he , wasn't interested- in professional sport. But he apparently changed his mind later on because, after graduating from law school in 4929 . and practicing for a ' few Tears, we heard that he bad gone abroad v to j play hockey for a Czechesloyaldan t team in 1935. Two years .later, .however, he at tended a. reunion here and starred In an' 'Old Boys' versus Today's Boys'. hockey game. We have the reunions every five years and . . ." r "That makes one due this year what month, dean?" asked Daw son. - . i.. . . ' . "This month, ia , two weeks' tune. But we had no report from Darwin Lemoy. The publicity committee tried to locate him, but all letters came back stamped with 'No ' Such " Person at This Address.' Perhaps, you -can give me some idea about what hap pened . - ." "I'm sorry," replied Dawson Iquietly. "I cannot divulge any in formation except that he will not be available for this reunion." ?. . The dean dismissed the matter With a wave of his hand. The only other information I can give you is that I heard from a number of sources mostly fel low alumni that they had grown rather irked with Lemoy. Ap parently his ideas had under gone some queer twists in recent years ..." "Jn what way?" . "Well, he seemed to defend the (Nazi system whenever occasion arose, and appeared to have a plentiful and impressive array of figures to back up opinions at all times." - The dean showed the investiga- ".itor a number of photographs. Le moy Statler was undoubtedly Dar wiri Lemoy. Numerous clippings .accompanied the photos mostly ;from a sport column by one Fergie O'Meara. TJAWSON took a taxi to the Chl ' cago Star office. Fergle jO'' Media, a kindly-manncred Irishman, wheeled around from sis typewriter. .' "I'm in an awful rush, but I ialwavs have time for a friend of Darwin Lemoy's," he boomed at 'Dawson 8 single sentence of In troduction, "Maybe you ran tell itne where the son of a gun is 'he's wanted for the 'Old Boys' game at State on . . ." . "Just a mlnllto. Mr. fYMoorn " laughed Dawson. "I can't tell you where he is I'm trying to find that out, too. Being an old friend of the family in town on business 'I thought you, as his most loyal 'historian, might be able to give jome lea i." ' "No can do. As a matter of fact, I'm a little hurt that he didn't . drop me a note. We used to see a lot of one another at college games, and his friends were my iiienas , . ." "men maybe this will prove the lead," cut In Dawson, taking the girl's picture from his pocket. fDId you, by any ch&nre, ever come across this girl in company with him?" t O'Meara took one glance at the picture and his eyes lit up: "Well, well . . . this picture is very fa miliar to me. Last time I saw Le moy it was a year ago or so the Star was running a Movie Double contest and he entered this pic ture. PInuvbs some girl he knew from Honrewood that's a suburb and 1 rememoer lie got a big kick out of it when she won the weekly cash award . . ." Dawson concealed his eagerness. "If she won a cash award that means your cashier will likely have a record of her name and address . . ." O'Meara was already on the phone. "I'll haw it in a Jilty it you get any news, give me a call, huh?" Ten minutes later Dnwson was in a taxi bound for Homcwood, his pulse quickening. Outside a conservative lime stone house, Dawson paid the driver and slowly mounted the steps, studying every external de tail from force of habit. A tall dark woman in house keeper's garb answered the door- "Hey, ibell. "Is Miss Carole Fiskc In?" he asked, fairly holding his breath for the answer. The dark woman glared at him before speaking. "Miss Fiske Isn't here. Dawson played a long shot Lowering his voice he said: "I have a message for her from Le moy." The dark woman seemed un certain. Finally she opened the door. "Just wait in the parlor." Thanking her, Dawson entered. Abruptly Dawson tensed as he saw a framed photograph on the fireplace ledge. It was that of an American soldier a sharp-faced man of about 28. There was no mistaking him remembering faces was Dawson's forte. The picture was that of the American soldier whose body had been found beside that of the Royal Air Force Ferry Command captain in the speakeasy in St John's, Newfoundland . . . one of the two murders for which Le moy Statler, alias Darwin Lemoy, had been hanged!
