Keep the whole eve ‘l’dn" free.. It will be a big story. _ Kennedy's laboratory was brightly lighted when I arrived early the nex evening. One by one his ‘“guests” dropped in. 1t was evident that they had little liking for the wvisit, but the coroner had sent out the “invita- tions,” and they had nothing to do but accept. Each one was politely welcomed by the professor and as- Bigned a seat, much as he would have fone with a group of students. The inspector and the coroner sat back a little. Mrs. Parker, Mr. Downey, 2Mr. Bruce, myself, and Miss La Neige sat in that order in the very narrow and uncomfortable little armchairs used by the students during lectures. At last Kenne@y was ready to /begin. He tock his position behind {'the long, flat-topped 1able, which he used for his demonstrations before his classes. *“I realize, ladies and gentlemen,” he began formally, “that 1 am about to do a very upusual thing; but, as you all know, the police and the ‘coroner have been completely baffled by this terrible mystery and have requested me to attempt to clear up at least certain points in it I will begin what I have to say by remarking that the tracing out of & crime like this dif- fers in nothing, except as regards the subject-matter, from the search ;fol' a scientific truth. The forcing | of man’s secrets is like the forcing of nature's secrets. Both mre pieces of detective work. The methods em- ployed in the @etection of crime are, or rather should be, like the methods employed in the process of discover- ing scientific truth. In a crime of this sort, two kinds of evi@ence need to be secured. Circumstantial evi- dence must first be marshaled, and then a motive must be found. I have been gathering facts. But to omit motives end rest contented with mere facts would be inconclusive. It would never convince anybody or convict anybody. In other words, ! circumstantial evidence must first [lead to a suspeet, and then this sus- i pect must prove equal to accounting ltor the facts. It is my hope that each of you maey contribute some- thing that will be of service in ar- riving at the truth of this unfortu- nate incident.” The tension was not relieved even when Kennedy stopped speaking and began to fuss with a little upright !target which he set up at one end of his table. We seemed to be seated over a powder magazine which threatened to explode at any mo- ment. T, at least, felt the tension 80 | greatly ‘that it was only after he |bad started speaking again that I no- ticed that the target was composed of a thick layer of some putty-like material. Holding 2 thirty-two-caliber pi tol in his right hand and aiming it at Qhe target, Kennedy picked up & large piece of coarse homespun from the table and held it loosely over the muzzie of the gun. Then he fired. The bullet tore through the cloth, sped through the air, and buried It- self in the target. With a knife he pried it out. “I1 doubt if even the inspector him- self could have told us that when an ordinary leaden bullet is shot through a woven fabric the weave of that fabric is in the majority of cases im- pressed on the bullet, sometimes clearly, sometimes faintl Here Kennedy took up a piece of fine batiste and fired another bullet through it. “Every leaden bullet, as I have said, which has struck such a fabric bears an impression of the thread which 1si recognizable even when the bullet has penetrated deeply into the bod; It is anly obliterated partially or en- tirely when the bullet has beem flat- tened by striking & bone or other hard object. Even them, as in this case, if oply a part of the bullet is flattened the remainder may still show the marks eof the fabric. A yheavy warp, say ef cotton velver or, as I have here, hemespun, will be im- i printed well on the bullet, but even a jfine batiste, comtaining one hundred ithreads to the inch, will show marks. 1 Even layers of goods such as a coat, shirt and undershirt may each leave ) the roarks, but that does not con- icerf us in this case. Now I have here lece of pongee silk, cut from a weoman's automobile coat. I discharge the bullet through it—so. 1 compare the bullet mow with the others and from the neck of iMr. Parker. 1 find that the marks |on that fatal bullet correspond pre cissly with those on the bullet fired through the pongee coat.” Startling as was this revelation, paused only an instant be- (fore the next. “Now I have another demonstra- tion. A certain note figures in this . Parker was reading it or rereading it, at the time he was shot. 1 have not been able to Obtain that mote—at least not in a form such as I could use In dis- covering what were its contents. But in a certain wastebasket I found a mass of wet and pulp-like paper. It had been cut up, macerated, per- haps. chewed; perhaps it had been also soaked with water. There, was a washbasin with running. water in this room. The ink had run, and, of course, was iliegible. The thing was #0 unuspal that 1 at once assumed that this was the remains of the note in question. Under ordinary circum- stances it would be utterly -valueless as 3 clue to anything. But today science is not ready to let anything pass as valueless. *“1 found on microscopic examina- siop that it was an uncommon linen bond paper, and I have taken a large number of microphotographs of the fibers in it. They are all similar. I bave here also sbout a hnundred mi- crophotographs of the fibers in other kinds of paper, many of them bonds. These I have accumulated from time to time in my study of the smbject. None of them, as you can see, show: fibers resembling this one In ques- tien, 30 we may conclude that it is of uncommon quality. Through an m;tl of ;hamwlle- I hnn“-ecursd samples of the mnotepaper every one who ' could be concerned, as far as 1 could see, with ‘this case. - Here are the photographs of the fibers of these .various notepapers, and among them all is just one that corresponds i‘lr"}'a”umm"' Ted In the- scrapbasket e Now lest “one should question the sccuracy of this method I might cite a case where a man had been arrest- ed in Germany, charged with steal- ing & government bond. - He was not searched till later. There was no evidence save that after the arrest a large number of spitballs were found around the courtyard under his cell ‘window. _ This method of comparing the fibers with those of the regular rvmut paper was used, and by the man was convicted of stealing the bomd. I think it is almost un- 4 gular | some of them for you in the morn-! said Craig. | Cop necegsary to add that in the present case we know precisely who—" At this ‘point 'the tension was so Sreat that it snapped. Miss La Neige, who was sitting beside me, had been leaning forward Involumtarily. Al- most as if the words were wrung from her she whispered hoarsely “They put me up to doing it; I didn't want to. But the affair had gone too far. 1 couldn’t see him lost before my very eyes. I didn’t want her to get him. The guickest way out was to tell the whole story to Mr. Parker and stop it. It was the only way I !coul think of to stop this thing be- tween another man's wife and the man I loved better than my own hus- band. God knows, Prof. Kennedy, that was all—" “Calm__yourself, " mafame,” rupted Kennedy soothingly. | yourself. What's dog: is done. The truth must come «ut. Be calm. Now,” he continued, after the first storm of remorse 1ad spent ftself and we were all dly composed again, “we have s id »~thing what- ever of the mose exyscerious feature of the case, the firing of the shot. The murderer could have thrust the weapon into the pocket or the foics of this coat"—here he drew forth the automobile coat and held it aloft, dis- playing the bullet hole—"and he or ishe (I will not say which) could have |discharged the pistol unseen. By re- moving and secreting the weapon aft erward one very imporian’ pi evidence would be suppressed. | person could have used suc z as 1 have here, made {powder, and the coat would have con- |cealed the flash of the shot very ef- fectively. There would have been no {emoke. But mneither this coat mnor even a heavy blanket would have deadened the report of the shot. “What are we to think of that? Only one thing. I have often won- dered why the thing wasn't done be- fore. In” fact I have been waiting for it to occur. There is an inven- tion that makes it almost possible to strike 2 man down with impunity in broad daylight in any place where there is suflicient noise to cover up a click, a slight ‘pouf” and the whir of the buliet in the alr. “I refer to this little device of a { Hartford inventor. 1 place it over the muzzle of the .32-caliber revoiver I have so far been using—so. Now, Mr. Jameson, if you will sit at that type- writer over there and write—anything 80 long as you keep the keys click- ing. The inspector will start that imitation stock-ticker in the corner. Now we are ready. 1 cover the pistol with a cloth. 1 defy any on- it Lo room to tell me the exact moment when I discharged the pistol. 1 couid have shot eny of you, and an out- sider not in the secret would never have thought that 1 was the culprit.
