Commend- ing Officer of Detectives as. PHELPS TRAGT. Se GER, one to District Atturuey’s cffice CAPTAIN CARL HAGEDORN THIS HAS HAPPENED After preventing the arrest of several suspected persons, Vance promises to solve the mystery on a certain date. He has Markham ready to belive that Mrs. Platz or Ostrander had committed the murder when he suggests they go to Major Benson's apartment. There Vance finds a Colt .45 and the box of jewels that had been taken from Alvin Benson's house the night of the murder. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER LVI (Thursday, June 20; noon) On leaving the apartment, Mark- ham took with.him the pistol and the case of jewels. In the drug store at the corner of Sixth avenue he telephoned Heath to meet him immediately at the office, and to bring Captain Hagedorn. He also telephoned Stitt, the public accountant, to report as soon as possible. “You observe, I trust,” said Vance, when we were in the taxicab headed for the Criminal Courts buildi “the great advantage of my method: over yours.. When one knows at the outset who committed a crime, one isn’t misled by appearances. With- out that foreknowledge, one is apt to be deceived by a clever alibi, for example. ... I asked you to secure the is use, knowing the Major was’ guilty, I thought -he’d have prepared a good one.” “But why ask for all of them? And why waste time trying to dis- prove Colonel Ostrander’s?” “What chance would I have had of securing the Major's alibi, if I had not subjected his name surrepti- tiously, as it were, into a list of other names? ... And had I asked you to check the Major’: ibi first, you'd have refused. “I chose the Colonel’s alibi to start with because it.seemed to offer a loop-hole,—and I was lucky in the choice. I knew that if I c puncture one of the other alibis, you would be more inclined to help me test the Major's.” “But if, as you say, you knew from the first that the Major was guilty, why, in God’s name, didn’t you tell me, and save me this week of anxiety?” “Don‘t be ingenuous, old man,” returned Vance. “If I had accused the Major at the beginning, you'd have had me arrested for criminal libel. It was only deceivin’ every minute about the Major’s guilt, and drawing a whole sehool of red herrings. across the trail, that I was able to get you to accept the fact even ye “And Jet, not once did I actually lie to you. I was constantly throw- ing out suggestions, and. pointing to significant facts, in the hope that you'd see the light for yourself; but you ignored all my intimations, or else misinterpeted them, with the most irritatin’ perversity.” tham was silent a moment. “I see what you mean. But why did you keep setting up these straw men and then knocking them over?” “You were bound, body and soul, to circumst’ntiat evidence,” Vance pointed out. “It was only by let- ting you see that it led you nowhere that I was able to foist the Major on you. here was no. evidence against him,—he naturally saw to that. No one even regarded him as a ibility: fratricide has been held as inconceivable since the days of Cain, “Even with all my finessing you fought every inch of the way, ob- in’ to this and that, and doing everything imag’nable to thwart my humble efforts. ...

He knew no charmin’ lady could ever be convicted of murder in this most chivalrous city, oes ter what tho evidence; and he had * enough of the sporting instinct in him to prefer that no one should actu’lly be punished for the crime. “Cons’quently, he was willing to switch you back to the lady, And he played his hand cleverly, mak- ing it appear that he was most reluctant to involve her.” “Was that why, when you wanted me to examine his books and to ask him te the office to discuss the con- fession, you told me to intimate that I had Miss St. Clair in mind?” “Exactly!” “And the person the Major was shielding—” Hes himself. But he wanted you to think it was Miss St. Clair.” “If you were certain he was’ guilty, why did you bring Colonel Ostr.- der into the case?” “In the hope that he could sup ply us with faggots for the Major’s funeral pyre. I knew he was ac- quainted intimately with Alvin Benson, I knew, too that he was an egregious quidnune who might have got wind of some enmity be- tween the Benson boys, and bave suspected the truth. And I also wanted to get a line on Pfyfe, by way of elim’nating every remote counter possibility.” “But we already Pfyfe.” } “Oh, I don’t mean material clues, | I wanted to learn about Pfyfe’s nae ture—his psychology, y’ know,;— particularly his personality as a gambler. . “Y’ see, it was the crime of a cal- culating, cold-blooded gambler; and no one but’a man of that particular Hide could possibly have committed i ‘ had a Tine on Markham apparently was not in- terested just now in Vance’s. the-.. orie “Did: you believe. the Major,” he asked, “When he ‘said his brother had lied to him about the presence of the jewels in the safe?” “The wily Alvin prob’bly. mentioned “em to thony,” joined Vance. “An ear at the door during one of Pfyfe’s visits was, I fancy, his source of information. 4 And speaking of the Major's dropping, it was that which suggested to me. a possible mative for the crime. Your man Stitt, I hope, will clarify that point.” “According to your theory, the crime was. rather hastily con- ceived.” Markham’s statement was in reality a Question. “The details of its exeeution were hastily conceived,” ¢orrected Vance, id|“The Major undoubtedly had been contemplating for some time elim’- nating his brother. Just how or when he was to do it, he hadn’t decided. He may have thought out and rejected a dozen plans. “Then, on the thirteenth, came the opportunity: all the conditions adjusted themselves to his purpose. He heard Migs St. Clair’s promise to go to dinner; and he therefore knew that Alvin would prob’bly be home alone at 12:30, and that, if he were done away with at that hour, sus; mn would fall on Cap- tain Leacock. “He saw Alvin take home the jewels—another prov’dential cir- cumst’nce. The propitious moment for which he had been waiting, d’ ye see, was at hand. All that re- mained was to establish an alibi and work out a modus operandi. How he did this, I’ve already eluc’dated. _ SCALPED BY AX Hattiesburg, Miss.—It was a grim battle, while it lasted, between Joc Jefferson and Will “arnes.
