The Wrist Mark Copyright, 1990, by North American SYNOPSIS. Col. Engleden. formeriy the govermor ®f Southmoor Pritom, is murdered. Sefton Engleden, the colonel phew, nvestivates with the aid of his law elerk, Johmsom. The colonel's diary tells ©f the ecape of fwo convicts from Southmoor years ago. It is also learned that the colonel, just before his death, had semt @ messae to the prison ask- ing whether any of the warders who were on his staff are atill there. John- #20n Delieves that the colomel may have encountered the escaped comvicts and that they killed him. Maliison. super- tntendent of police. does mot know of this development. He tells Engleden that bank notes that were known fo have Deen on the colonel's person have been traced, and that it has been established that they were chanped by a soldier from a meardy barracks. Johnson and Enoleden send for Millwaters, one of the warders in charge of the comvicts who escaped. Since leaving the prison he has been engaged in private detective work. A few hours later he is mur- dered. Capt. Shorenam. an oficial at Southmoor, arrives with descriptions of the escaped comvicts. One of them— Snelling—had @ peculiar birthmark on Ris right wrist. Engleden recalls that Sanderson, a local mavistrate on whose property his uncle's body was found, wears @ heavy steel dracelet on his right wrist. They wonder whether Sanderson ts Smelling. Meanwhile, the soldier who ehanged the five-pound note has been @rrested. with ome of his comrades. When they are arraioned, they admit robbing the body, but demy that they committed the murder. Their story is that they came upon two men bending over the body and frightened them off. At this point Mej. Anstie of the Home Office, enters the c He privately #hows Enoleden and Johnsom from the colomel which savs th Johnson is mow certain that Senderson i3 Snelling and that his Dutler, Hewitt, Hardle, the other wrisoner who escaped.

Mallison shook his head and spread his hands. “All Greek to me, sir!” he sald. “Haven't the ghost of an idea what it's all about! I don't want to seem dis- respectful, but—isn't it possible Col. Engleden had got some mistaken notion in his head? Southmoor >—why, Southmoor is 400 miles from this lace!” 7 Anstie made no reply to this remark; Be turned to Engleden. “The matter is plain enough to me ~and to Capt. Shoreham and to Mr. Johnson,” said Engleden. “To put it into S0 many words—we believe, from cer- tain evidence which we have collected, that during the morning of Monday, the first day of his ‘stay in Barows- burgh, Col. Engleden accidentally came across and recognized the two men ment ed in the letter you've just read —=Snelling and Hardle! But I'll give T e we it o to thlh Anstie and Malli ‘went on - son of all that he and Johnson had discovered— Col.

Anstie merely nodded as each int was dealt with; Mallison showed is astonishment, not unmixed with | resentment that he had been kept in| the dark. “You see,” said Engleden, in conclu- | sion, “that all this fits in with the letter you have just read? It is an ambiguous letter, as you remarked, but it proves this—Col. Engleden had made 2 dhcove‘rymin cunneczfion with the mystery o it escape 12 years ago.” And you think that his discovery ‘was that Snelling and Hardle were ac- tually “liVing here, in this town?" sug- “11""11 that it?" le If so, sir—name Engleden turned to Anstie. “I think the time has come to throw off all reserve,” he said. “We had bet- ter indicate plaintly the men we mean, So—one is Mr. James Sanderson, the owner of Wraisdale Abbey, close by; the other is Hewitt, his butler. We be- lieve Sanderson to be identical with Bnelling, and Hewitt with Hardle. And —we have reason for our belief.” - reason, Mr. leden, what Treason?” exclaimed Mallison. “Mr. Sanderson? Bless me, sir, Mr. Sander- son’s one of the most highly-respected gentlemen in the pl; a magistrate— a magistrate, Maj. ~Anstie! And Hewitt?—a very quiet, le man, sir. Some sad mistake, Mr. Engleden, some grievous mistake.” “We can put matters to the test as Yegards Sanderson, and very quickly,” remarked Engleden. “Capt. Shore: ‘ham, who knew Snelling well as & con- vict, knows that Snelling bears on his right wrist & most peculiar birthmark. I suggest that Superintendent Malli- son should invite Mr. Sanderson to show us his right wrist! He will find —he has probably observed it already —on Mr. Sanderson’s right wrist a polished steel circlet or bracelet, of some width, completely covering and surrounding the wrist at its slenderest part. And what we want to know is— What does that steel bracelet conceal?” It was evident to those standing about him that this suggestion found no favor with the police superintendent. Mallison, indeed, was showing unmis- takable signs of mental disturbance and of dislike to the course into which Engleden was endeavoring to divert him. “That's not a thing I can take on | myself, Mr. Engleden,” he said. “I can't walk into Mr. Sanderson’s house | and demand to see his wrist! What- ever you may say or whatever's been said here, I've no reason to suspect Mr. Sanderson. And I can't help repeating —1I think you're mistaken, Mr. Engle- den, grievously mistaken! Mr. Sander- son, as I say, is highly respected in the town—always has been, ever since he came here—and Hewitt is a quiet, or- derly man—" Engleden made & gesture of impa- tience and looked at Anstie. “I think you, as representing the home @@ee, should move,” he said. “I be- neve Sanderson to be Snelling and Hewitt, Hardle. And I'm certain they'd some hand in this affair. If Mallison won't act—" | “Let me hear and understand a little more,” said Anstie. “Let us clear things up a little. You suggest, Mr. Engle- den, that your uncle, after his arrival here, saw Sanderson and Hewitt——" “I don't suggest that he saw Hewitt,” interrupted Engleden. “I know that he saw Sanderson!” “Where did he see Mr. Sanderson?” demanded Mallison. on i Todayoron "the magisratas seen him y—on mi 3 bench,” replied Engleden. * uncle dropped in at the Town Hall that Mon- day morning, while the Magistrates' Court was sitting. Sanderson, as a magistrate, was present; the other magistrates in attendance were the | we should all go at once to Wi By ¥ S. Fletcher Newspaper Alliance and Metropolitan Service. Test of what he did that day tends to | prove that my theory is correct.” Mallison shook his head. “Can’t see it, Mr. Engleden!” he sald. “If Col. Engleden recognized one of his ! escaped convicts in Mr. Sanderson he ‘would have come straight to the police ~—that is, to me. He didn't!” “That, no doubt, is what he should have done—according to your way of 1ok t things!" retorted Engleden. “Col. Engleden, however, had his way. His way was—to do what he did. He wired to the present governor of South- moor, and he wrote to Maj. Anstie.” Once more he turned to Anstle, as if waiting for him to move. Anstie turned to Ml{ll.wn “What I should like to know,” he said, “is just this—did Col. Engleden, during the rest of that Monday, on the morning of which he had been in the Magistrates’ Court, have any conversa- tion with any really responsible person in this town. Do you know anything about that, superintendent?” “I know , sir! Col. Engleden's movements that day, and, in fact, from the moment of his arrival at the Castle Hotel to the time he disappeared were traced by me to the last degree of ex- actitude. The only person that Col. Engleden ever had any talk with in this town—other than the hotel servants and a caretaker or two at the Castle— was Alderman Sadler. And I know ex- actly what went on between them! Nothing!" ““What do you mean by nothing?” “Col. Engleden took his watch to Alderman Sadler for a slight repair— Alderman Sadler is a jeweler. While the repair was being done—it was only a small job—Alderman Sadler, who is an antiquary himself, talked td Col. Engleden about the antiquities of Ba- rowsburgh. Alderman Sadler told Mr. Befton Engleden all about that in my presence, and said he blamed himself very much for recommending Col. En- gleden to see places like the Castle and Wraisby Al by moonlight. That w‘:s the sort of g they talked about, “Just so—I understand, superintend- ent. But I wonder, now—if Col. En- gleden took the. opportunity—he could do it in a very seemingly nt fashion—to ask Mr. Sadler any ques- tion about his brother magistrate, Mr. Sanderson? No doubt Mr. Sadler had seen Col. Engleden in court that morn- ing—a question arising out of that, you know, eh?” “1 can’t say, sir. But you can ask Alderman Sadler that question your- self. His place is next to the Town Hall—next door, in fact, to where we are just now,” said Mallison. “I can fetch him within a cougl: of minutes.” “I think we might have him here, if he'll be good enough to step round,” said Anstie. “Yes—if you don't mind, superintendent. Mallison moved toward the door. But Johnson suddenly stopped him. “A moment!"” said. Then he turned to Anstle. “You're not going to mention Sanderson by name?” he ed. Mallison paused; he also turned to Anstie. And before Anstie could speak, Johnson went on. “If I were you,” he said, “I wouldn’t send for Sadler. However highly re- spectable Mr. Alderman Sadler may be, he’s a magistrate, and Sanderson is a brother magistrate and a fellow towns- man. If Sadler finds out that Sander- son is in any way suspected, Sadler will telephone to Sanderson at once. My advice to you, Maj. Anstie, as you're Tepresenting the home office, is that rais| Abbey—where you and Capt. mahg can decide for yourselves what to do. Be wise!” Anstie stared, smiling & little, -at the | man who offered this bold advi “You seem to be very certain as to | what you'd do, my friend!” he ex- ::;med “Lose-no-time-about.it-policy, “Don't be too sure that you haven't already lost too much!” said Johnson. “I think you have!” «What do you mean?” asked Anstle. “I mean this! Sanderson has been on that -magistrates’ bench all day. Capt. Shoreham has been in court all day. Capt. Shoreham tried to remain in obscurity as much as possible. But doubtless Sanderson got & glimpse of now and then. And—more! Hewitt has been in and out of court all day. Capt. Shoreham was in full view of Hewitt. Once or twice Hewitt had speech’ with Sanderson. And in the closing stages, you come in! Do ‘you think Sanderson and Hewitt didn't see you? Now let me ask you a ques- tion, sir. How long have you been on the Prison Commission? Sixteen years? Very well—did you ever visit South- moor during the time Snelling and Hl‘r'dlle wefi: e;)nlxlctt; there? You did? —twice, el ey see you? The; did?—on both occasions? z . & time, of course! I repeat, all right! —% know what I thini heats em “And what do you think, my friend?” lngul.ved Anstie, good-humoredly. “I think -that, if ‘you go down to Wraisby Abbey, you'll find that neither Mr. James Sanderson, owner, nor Mr. Hewitt, butler, are there!” replied John- son. “I think they're off! And with your permission—and being so certain of what you'll find—I'll just leave you l:fl begin a little investigation of my own.” (To be continued.) |{ARMY MEN TRANSFERRED.

Shorehlmmmn THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, District National Guard Officials of the Guard found a build- ing to be used for just a couple of jumps sh of an order to vacate the Government Hotel Building on the Union Station Plasa which has served for training purposes for the local troops for the past several years. Lieut. Col. F. H. Smith, adjutant neral, last week received a letter Boen Sire. Lulsh T. Angoews, yessident of the United States Housing Corpora- tlon, custodian of the Plaza buildings, | informing him that the Guard must | Depa: vacate the building prior to June 15 next. Mrs. Andrews said that she took this step because of havi received word from the architect of Capitol that the razing of the buildings would begin on July 1 next. Further, no ap- propriations have been made for main- taining the bulldings during the fiscal year 1931, which begins on July 1. Plans now are being made by the various organizations quartered in the old hotel building to move to the struc- ture formerly occupled by the National Hotel, at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, which has been taken over by the Government to eventually form a part of the site for the new municipal center. headquarters that no date has yet been fixed for the actual moving, but that it is probable that all of the units will be out of the present build- ing and settled in the newly assigned structure prior to the beginning of the annual armory inspections in May. It was pointed out that the inspections were provided to be held later in the year than usual, because it was an- ticipated that the Guard would have to move before Spring. All of the units of the Guard, ex- cept two, the 260th Coast Artillery and Company A, 372d Infantry, are quer- tered in the Government Hotel Build- ing, and will be involved in the trans- fer. The units quartered there have been working under the most unsatis- factory conditions from a training| standpoint for some months, or since one of the two Government Hotel Build- ings which it occupied was given up on_order of the housing corporation. Some remodelling is being done in the building in preparation for the re- ception of troops, but this is mostly in the way of cutting doorways in the brick partitions between the former guest rooms, so that each of the several units may have a suite of communi- cating rooms. The new quarters, while providing & room, formerly used as a dining room, and which can be used for assembly purposes, do not have a space large enough for the indoor drilling of troops. A large drill hall is one of the outstanding needs of the local Guard and had been so for years. As in the past, they will have to take practically all of their drilling in the open, and efforts will be made to obtain permission for them to-use, as a K:nde ground, some of the park space the Mall, south of Pennsylvania avenue. But this can only be used in good weather. During extremely bad weather the troops must necessarily confine their instruction to the class rooms, The time that the Guard will be allowed to remain in its newly assigned quarters is problematical, dependent entirely upon when Congress appropri- ates the money for the erection of the buildings there which will eventually house all of the activities of the muni- cipal government. During this period the officers will have to D up their efforts to have Congress make provi- sion for the construction of a specially designed bullding for the local troops, & movement, which has gone on for more than a quarter of a century with- ougox;lult. e hope was that some definite result may come out of the action of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission last week in appointing pecial committee to study the armory matter. This action was taken following a previous action by that body, which decided against the use of the Washington Auditorium as an armory. The commission gave no Teasons for its objection to the use of | the auditorium, but it is believed to be | due to the fact that it is close to the proposed boulevard from the Capitol to the Ar] Memorial Bridge. Early in the present session of Con- dced & bl providing for, hase a provi for the purchase by the Government of the Auditorium for use as an armory for the Guard. Plans were drawn showing that with some alterations it would provide a much better Armory than the local Guard has ever enjoyed in its history. It also would have provided the much needed drill hall. However, there is a strong hope that something may come out of the Planning Commission's spe- clal committee that will satisfy all of the Government agencies through which 2 proposal for a building for the Guard has to go, including the Public Build- Commission, the National Com- mission on Fine Arts, the District of Columbia Commissioners, the District of Columbia committees in either House and the committee on public buildings and grounds of the House, to say nothing of the appropriations commit- tee. When concrete suggestions have been made heretofore for an Armory for the local troops, one or more of commissions and committees have found some cause to object, with the result that the matter has gone on from year to year, until more than a quarter of century of time has passed, and the organization has been going from one bad project to, another, in expensive rented buildings, or in build- ings allotted to them which no Govern- ment department could or would use. Incidentally, it was long ago decided that the local Guard was a Federal activity the same as a Government de- partment or independent bureau, and as such the Public Buildings Com- mission had the duty of allocating it a building as a home, Efforts previously have been made by the Guard officials to ascertain from the Public Buildings Commission just what kind of a project for the Guard would receive the influence and support of that commission, but this has brought forth no definite statement. In the District government there are influ- ences which oppose an_Armory on the ground that, it being a Federal activity, the United States Government should bear the entire expense of & new struc- ture, and none of the cost should be saddled on the District taxpayer. On the other hand, the citizens of the Dis- trict, as represented in the civic organi- | Fieid. zations, have given their unqualified indorsement of the movement to have a building provided for the local citizen troops. Aside from the objection of the plan- ning commission to the acquisition of the Washington Auditorium, the project of Mr. Bowman likely would have run up against a snag had it ever come on the floor as a result of President Hoover's admonition to Congress that it was legislating out more money than the Treasury would stand. And thus the local project would have come up in the politics on this issue, while the troops will have to do the best they can. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan has been advised by the chiet of the Militia Bu- reau of the War De ent that the 54th Artillery B le of that division has been allocated to the State of Maryland. This brigade, as now or- ganized, is composed of the 110th Field Artillery Regiment of the Virginia Na- tional Guard, the 111th Field Artille; Regiment of the Maryland Nltlnnz Guard and the 176th "Field Artillery Regiment, a 155-mm.
