THE EVENING D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1930. STAR, WASHING By The Wrist Mark by North American Col. Bneleden, formerly governor of Southmoor prison, is murdered. Sefton Engleden, a mephew, with the aid of his law clerk, learns that during the colomel’s time at Southmoor two prisoners, Snell- ing and Hardle’ escaped. They believe that the colomel had come across the | escaped comvicts and that they killed | him. A former prieom warder, Mill- waters, engaged to aid in the investi- | oation, {3 murdersd.

Meanwhile a description of the escaped camvicts is cbtained. Smell- | ing had a birthmrak on his right wrist. Ergleden recalls that Sandersom, on whose estate the colonel's body was found, wears @ steel bracelet om his | right wrist. The aquestion arises, Is | Sanderson Snelling? Johnson thinks he 15 and that his butler, Hewitt, i Hardle. Maj. Anstie of the Home Office says he had a letter from the colonel sawing that he Rad located all the persoms con- | cerned in the prison escape. When an attempt is made to prove the identity of Sanderson and Hardle it is jound that they Rave fled.

Engleden called on that Monday after- noon!” “Precisely—according to Sadler's own story. But, Mr. Johnson, not, I think, to get his watch mended! No—I think Col. Engleden called on Mr. Abraham Sadler, J. P, for quite another reason. I think, knowing Mr. Sadler to be a trate, in Mr. Sanderson, he, Col. Engleden, had recognized the escaped convict, Snelling!” By this time Johnson had recognized that he was dealing with a man who, undoubtedly, was likely to be helpful and who, moreover, had thought things out to an apparently common-sense conclusion, and his attention redoubled. “I'm all ears, Mr. Silverstein” he ity Shecry Thout the whele. thing i about ‘whole is :gn e,” continued Silverstein. "I know ywsburgh and its people. You might say—why should Col. En- len go to Sadler?

Engleden—who had been in that morning, as we learned at the inquest—went to Sadler, never knowing that in telling Sadler he was as good | as telling Sanderson. He told Sadler— | very likely, what he told Sadler was no news to Sadler——" “Ha! Ha!” exclaimed Johnson, sud- denly gettln‘ a new idea. “You think that, eh?” “It mayn’t have been. For all you know, Sadler may have been one of the men whose money helped to get Snelling and Hardle out of Southmoor | years ago—he may have been, I say. . 11, Col. gleden tells Sadler what he’s discovered.
