TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1933. SYNOPSIS: There are half a dozen. persons who might have murdered the mysterious stran, 2 Lorsehiem, Madame Grethe schiem, Sue Tally, Rather Robart, exen Mareel, th: t the hotel in which this strange crew is gath- ered. All Jim Sundean knows is that he didn’t commit the murder himself—yet he has been arrested for it. Sundean also knows that he didn’t much like to find Sue and a new arrival talking together just before the police arrived. Chapter 14 A VISITOR COMES ND I wanted first of all a law- yer; I felt rather cold as I sud- denly recalled that. in France there is.no writ of habeas corpus. It is true that I was an American citi zen, @ fact clearly set forth in my passport, but this had not appeared to relieve the situation in the least. It didn’t seem at all iegal that they should simply throw me into jail and keep. me there, but every- thing I had ever heard about the remarkable freedom of the French police in such matters returned to my memory, and I began to feel a degree of anxiety which, I was to discover, was quite justifiable. ‘Night comes early in the winter at Armene, and the room was quite dark, and no one had appeared to Nght it, and I was smoking my last cigarette and wishing I had the “pompous old commissaire ‘by. the beard ‘when I ‘heard footsteps. and. yoices and a key turning In the lock. The cold, dark little room was flooded with light, and 'a visitor, a . man, was ushered in to see me. I got to my feet and was blinking In the unexpected light as he insin- uated something thc rattled gently into the hand of the man who had opened the door. Then my visitor turned, and I saw the man who had arrived at the hotel during the afternoon. He said briskly: “Tm sorry to see you here, Mr. Sundean. My name is Lorn—David Lorn.” He paused and then added: “Miss Tally asked me to see you.” His words were neither promis- fg nor exactly explanatory; still, things looked suddenly better. I was not, after all, entirely without a friend. “Sit down?” He drew up the smali straight chair, and I sat down on the cot. He put his hat on the ffoor, opened his coat, and drew outa folded paper. While his chin was no larger than it had been in the: afternoon, ‘I'm bound to admit that the sight of his countenance was very welcome. He handed me the paper, and it was . & note from Sue Tally. It was brief abmurdand intolerable: ‘Puete Ae + and tke he can “a0 something Shout it" She had written hurriedly and, I _ thought, agitatedly, and her signa- ture was a spirited 8. Tally. “Miss Tally is very good,” I' said. | I put the note in my pocket. He cleared his throat and looked & 2 3 es i ae af | | PIRATES LICK LOSE TO FENIX help. I need help. But: what exactly) 1s there to do?” “First, Mr. Sundean, you told the} DOUBLEHEADER police that there were five revolver’ shots last night white you were in the court with some person whom you did not see?” “Yes, five.” , “Hmm. Then I may be right in my surmise, It’s a: possibility at least—” “What isa possibility?” “That the other revolver shot, the sixth—" “But there’ was no sixth; there. were only five.” “He fired twice at your flashlight, three times over your head. remained in the courtyard—”’ couldn’t get away,” I said. “Bxaetly, Therefore it-is reason+ able to suppose that if the sixth shot had still remained in his revolver’ he would have again tried to—er—/ shoot you,” * { “E don’t see,” I said, “that that has anything to do-with getting me; out of here. The man was murdered by stabbing. Look here, perhaps you can tell me just why I’m here, What's this new evidence Lov. schiem was: so afratd he'd tell, about?” “Hmm. Well, it’s rather. ‘Mr. Sundean. But still not at all/con- vincing. ‘There's the matter of the clock sword being from. your they are divided fm opinion jat the moment regarding your. seemingly frank ‘bringing: the. thing to. their attention, At the moment.I fear the weight of opinion is that-it peaener @ clever ruge om your part,” “Ho, 22 von Enow: that} “T’ve been, talking to the of- ficer in charge, I took the Yiberty of telling him, Mr. Sundean, that:-I was your legal representative. And. owing to a matter which I brought: before him he was inclined to: talk. to meat some length.” “That's very good of you,” I said) warmly, “Then, there's your shattered flashlight.” “But it was shot out of my hand.” “Yes, of course. But unfortunate. Jy it ty 80 completely shattered that it is dificult to tell just what did happen to it. Pieces were found just below the landing on which there was-8.pateh of blood from the mur- dered man; those pieces might be taken to mean that you simply dropped your flashlight in a strug- gle with him,” . “But that’s—why, PLAYED SUNDAY WAS INTERESTING | EXHIBITION; CLOSE SCORE | IN BOTH GAMES (By JOVE) Boy;. oh boy, what a beautiful game of basebail those oid time rivals, Pirates and Sluggers, put up. Sunday afternoon at the Navy }Field. * ' After facing defeat in the open- ing contest by the El Fenix Club 4-5, the Pirates, with Quin- lite Lopez -pitching old: time ball, settled. down and worked darn hard to capture the nighteap con- test by the closest score possible. } The two elubs battled eight in- nit fand retiring each side in order from round .to round. ‘Phe only and winning run of the game was scored in the ninth inning when. Vidal, first man to face Bethel, was given first base on a dead ball; Mayg sacrificed, the runner to second, being thrown out at first by the third baseman who made’ a. fast throw to the bag. The biggest surprise came when Castillo walked. te-the batters’ box swinging a pretty heavy stick, and waved to the fans in the grand stand seats who were making them- selves comfortable, expeeting the game would go a couple more in- nings, to get ready to go home as he was going te bring in: the win- ning run. The crowd booed at Castillo who had been struck out twice pre- | | ‘| viously. But the old boy was true to his word and after taking two strikes he connected with Bethel’s }third. piteh and sent a sharp single to right. Vidal easily scored from second ‘base. Howard Gates was the only Sluggers’ player who got a safe hit off Lopez. The -box scores: Pirates. AB R. H. P A. Perez, cf .. Q. Lopez, ef ..
