"Good morning, Miss Pierc," ha avwted. "IV Just been through the bouM. Dolan want everyone down at police headquarters this morning at 10:30." ". "Very well. I'll be there." Cilly assured him. She decided that the would be there at 10 o'clock to inform the sergeant of her latest discovery. He had ruled Mr. Hunter out as a possibility because of the man's physical Incapacity. This morning, however. Hunter loomed In Cilly 's mind as a very important possibility. Why would a man deliberately tie himself to a wheel-chair when He waa well able to walk? Later, however, when a burly policeman had ushered her Into a nrrrata room at police headquar ters, she discovered she would have no opportunity to see the aergeant alone. Several of the Bayview tenants had arrived be fore her. They sat in a semicircle round a plain flat top desk, nerv ously expectant. She recognized the Downers: so obviously mother and daughter. Mr. Hunter, look ing feeble and frail in his wheel chair, was there with his wife. - Promptly at 10:30, Sergeant JDolan entered the room, followed tor Martin. Dolan seated himself at the desk, his back to the double windows. Martin stood behind Mm, leaning against a window aiU. The tenants sat facing the windows, where the light shone on their faces clearly and relent lessly. If they lied, Cilly thought, Solan would be able to read it In their features. - "Everybody now, Martin T" Do lan asked. Martin checked with a list in his hand. "Didn't get in touch .with the Wheeler woman yet," he reported. "The three other ten ants are still out of town but X don't see the Corbetts." The Corbetts, Cilly looked op in surprise. But, of course, they . be summoned. Mrs. Cor- t's mother was the only person actually saw the murder utted. Her testimony would ! very important Even as Martin sooke. the door Ispened and they entered. Mr. Corbett, Cilly noticed, had sur vived his drinking very well. He was immaculate in a light gray topical worsted, and be carried himself with an air of assurance. Mrs. Corbett, the same meek tad humble woman Cilly had first met, followed her husband hesi tantly into the room. She wore V nondescript blue voile dress, and at hung limply on her thin frame. Her face was pale and drawn. Her mother, in spite of asthma, held her head high and entered Mm room with a firm step. her. Dramatically, she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath before she spoke. "As I told you before, sergeant,1 the said in clear, crisp tones, waa seated at the window of my bedroom in the St, Ann Apart merits. I had not been feeling well, and I wanted to get the air, It was very dark out there were neither stars nor a moon and or dinarily I could not see the roof DDnosite except when an ocea tional beam from one of the ships in the bay would pass over it Suddenly I heard this frightful scream, and at that very instant a beam passed slowly over the roof opposite. I saw a man pick this girl up in his arms and de liberately fling her over the side 3t the house. That is all. I must have fainted. My daughter pre pared an opiate for me, and I did not awaken until morning." "Thank you, Mrs. Shaw. May C ask if the light was suOlciently strong for you to recognize this man in any way?" "It was not" Mrs. Shaw sumed her seat Sergeant Dolan scanned the faces before him. "Now I am go ing to ask each of you to remem ber very carefully what happened Sunday night We'll start with you, Mr. Hunter. You live on the top floor, directly under the roof where the murder was committed. Did you hear any voices on the roof, any sign of quarreling?" "No, sergeant" Hunter replied. He spoke in a frail voice, as if to match the infirmity of his limbs. "I must have been asleep. It was the scream which woke me up. My wife ran to the window. . . ." "Did you get up?" The man shook his head sor rowfully. "I couldn't do that, you ee." He made a futile gesture toward his legs. "I ha vent walked in 20 years." "AS soots as they were seated, '"Sergeant Dolan addressed the group: "You all know," he began, in a calm, rather friendly voice, "a foung woman was killed in a fall from the roof of the Bayview Apartments last Sunday night or, to be more exact at 12:20 early Monday morning. We have a wit ness present who can testify that aha girl did not fall, but was de liberately thrown from the roof. This is a cold-blooded murder, ladies and gentlemen, which we are investigating, and I need not Impress upon you the importance mt absolute truth and accuracy in answering my questions. Mrs. Shaw, will yon please tell us again, in your own words, Just txactly what you saw occur on the roof of the Bayview?" Mrs. Corbett's mother got to her tea. All eyes were turned upon ptLLY stood up, her eyes afire. "Sergeant Dolan," she cried. "will you ask Mr. Hunter how it happens, therefore, that last night from across the street I saw him walking about bis bedroom in his pajamas?" The man gasped; he turned to itare at Cilly, and in his eyes there Mazed the malevolent fear of a trapped animal. "Is that true, Hunter?" Dolan mapped. "The girl's crazy," be choked lirough dry lips. "She's crazy or drunk. I can t walk ... I have lectors' statements to prove it." "What time was this, Miss Pierce?" Dolan inquired. "Eleven o'clock, sergeant There Is no mistake about it I saw aim. . . ." "Say! Wait a minute!" Cilly spun around to face the nan who suddenly interrupted tier. It was Mr. Corbett There was a malicious glint in his eyes. "In another minute, sergeant the young lady will be telling you about pink elephants, he offered with tolerant amusement "At 11 o'clock last night she was in my apartment drinking rye highballs. And, believe me, she was in con dition to see a great many things walking." "That s an outrageous lie. Mr. Corbett, and you know it!" Cilly turned to the sergeant making with fury. But in his eyes, she saw doubt and disappoint ment It was part of his job to oelieve the worst and he believed lorbett's story. She could see it From now on, the fight would be doubly hard.
