Mrs. Lundy's reyelation that ‘Alex Peterson—the eoun- terpart of the murdered An- drew Ogden in Skull Valley— had shot her husband 30 years ago. She tells the story of Pe- terson, who came to Torridity ‘with $10 in his pocket and | amassed great wealth, De- scribing her husband, she men- tions his eight-sided cye-glasses. Peebles is intrigued by the pos- sible connection between Lun- 's glasses, Furie’s powerful eight-sided lens, the marked cards in Ogden’s safe, the “poker game that cracked the town” and Peterson’s shooting Lundy.

One of the men felegraphed me from Peskella that Joe was there—that he had been shot by Peterson, apd that a doctor who had been working as 1 miner, had attended him. I had Joe brought to my home and 1 have since heard nothing from anv one who lived in Torridity at that time. And I don't want to!” I meditated a moment. “You mentioned Alex Peterson’s brother Jerry,” I said hopefully. “Can yoi tell me enything about him?” y little. I only saw hin .
