THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1936. MURDER BY LAURENCE SYNOPSIS: Inspector Hylton ta ‘undergoing the discouragement of having his suspects [abe them- selves, within limits. blameless of the murder of ancient and miserly old Arthur Burdett. Burdett was lage might have ha the murder. But the Inspector be- lieves that a certain hairdressing appointment may have had a good deal to do ae things, and has 0 . A constable just has stopped them to look at the driver's license, Morechester_ to Chapter 24 CIGARET CASE ‘HE constable closed his book ‘= with a snap; such levity did not commend itself to him, “I'm afraid you'll be ‘earing more about this, Mr. Fanshawe,” he said. “I don’t doubt ‘t,” Charles Fan- shewe answered bitterly as he en- gaged iow gear. “Can you beat it?” Fanshawe asked as they moved away again. “Wouldn’t that burn you up? Well, that’s a fiver up the spout anyway Here’s the pu* J was telling you about where the barmaid is, | sup pose it’s her night .ff as well. Let's stop and have one, shall we?” Hylton had not the heart to urge the hurry he was {- and they duly climbed out of the car on the cob- bled approach in front of the fnn. “Come on, Cut-throat Cuthbert,” Fanshawe called out boisterously to the tramp, “you may as well drown your sorrows with the rest of us.” The figure in the back of the car needed no second invitation and within half a minute they were all three standing in the bar. “Here, let me do this,” Hylton begged, but young Fanshawe wouldn’t hear of it. He slapped down half a crown or the counter and ordered three pints of beer in tankards. Fanshawe drained his in two workmanlike gulps and said, “Well, 1 suppose we better be getting siong. How much further are you coming, Desperate Dick?” “This ‘ere ‘ll do me thank ‘ee, sir,” the tramp said. “I expect you're every sort of ras- cal unhanged,” Fanshawe said, “but 1 suppose you'll want something for supper. Drin’ yourself to death on this.” The tramp took the proffered two shillings in surprise. In a curious way the gift seemed to affect him quite strongly. “My name’s Alf Durley,” he said, “and I reckon you two gennelmen are gennelmen, Treated me prop erly you ‘ave. And no one’s ever done me a good turn and not got it back.” He laughed. “That rozzer didn’t half throw ‘is weight about, did ‘e? But ‘e didn’t know every- thing, any road. 'B didn’t know as T'd taken this, for a start.” Mr. Durley fished about in his voluminous clothing and produced @ small black-->vered book, which he threw on the counter. “My God, the constable’s note- book,” Fanshawe cried in incredu- lous delight. “How the hell did you get that, Tired Tim?” “We aren't all as soft as we look,” Mr. Durley replied cryptically. Kingsley Hylton, though amused, was a trifle thoughtful. Problem of the week: how in con science can an Inspector of Police allow a constable’: notebook to be stolen and say or do nothing about it? Vyees Mr. Durley had explored his various garments to pro duce the notebook -Hylton’s quick eye had spotted the shining top of something he hardly expected to see in a tramp’s waistcoat pocket. “Nice cigaret -ase you've got there,” he said. Mr. Durley obligingly produced the case for further inspection. “Not too bad, tr it?” he said, “worth @ shilling or two I'll be hound. What it wants 1s twent~ cigarets inside it to make it look better “ He opened the case to show its lamentable emptiness and Hylton gave a start. Engraved on the inside of the case in the replica of a flamboyant fem!- nine hand were the words , Dale Shipley from R. 1932. “How did you come by that?” he asked at length, Mr. Durley re stored the case to one of his many Pockets and gave a wink. “Some times things ‘appen very fortunate in this world,” he remarked. “Drink up your beer and come on,” Fanshawe urged, “or I shall De late.” “Half a minute,” Hylton said, Speaking quietly so as not to at- tract the attention of the barmaid. “I didn't want to parade the fact. but I'm afraid [ve got to now. » am a Detective {nspector from Scotland Yard. Here’s my card.” Stupefied silence followed this somewhat staggerin: revelation: TONIGHT WwW. MEYNELL silence broken by the tragic tones of Mr. Alf Durley. “My oath,” that astonished man exclaimed poignantly. “D’you mean to say as ‘ow you're 8 flattie?” “I’m afraid so,” Hylton said, al most apologetically, “it is a bit awkward, isn’t it?” Durley suddenly broke into a tor rent of apprehensive explanation. “Look ‘ere, Mister, 1 just picked that case up, Straight I did, the young gennelman dropped it.” “What young gentleman?” “Strike me, guvnor, I don’t know. Met me down on the road there @ day or two ago, last Monday night it was because—” “Last Monday time?” “"Bout ‘arf past seven it must ‘ave been.” “Where?” “Where the back lane comes down from tr- big yeller ‘ouse where the old gent wae kiboshed— ‘ere blimey, guvnor, don’t get mix- ing m? up with that lot for Gawd Almighty’s sake.” “All right, den’t get excited, Dur- ley; but—” “Is this the straight goods,” Fan- shawe interrupted, “or are you pull- ing our legs?” “No. It’s true right enough. I do happen to be from Scotland Yard, though I’ve nothing to do with the local police.” Charles Fan-hawe made a comic grimace. “Looks as though I’m for it after all,” he lamented, “about the license [ mean.” “Well, look here,” Hylton ‘said, “if you run'me and this-man’ Dur- ley back to Hope £ndérton at once and get your new license tomorrow I daresay you'll find that nothing comes of it. How’s that?” Fanshawe was already leading the way to the door to fulfill his part of the bargain. “I was meeting a bird in Morechester.” he said, “but she'll have to wait a bit, that’s all.” a WHITE was just get- ting his supp r out of the oven when the Inspector arrived with Mr. Durley. Alf Durley paled visibly at the sight of a blue uniform and imme- diately launched out afresh into his aggrieved expostulations. “Shut up, Durley,” Hylton sald kindly but firmly. 1 guarantee to get you out of everything, if you have the sense to tel} us all you can—when | ask for it.” Alf Durley subsided Into susp! cious silence. “Sorry to disturb you, White, at your supper, but rather @ queer thing’s happened.” Hylton gave @ rapid account of what had taken place in the car, and the Sergeant's handsome, attentive faco went through the appropriate stages of amusement and surprise. “That's a rum go, sir,” he said when Hylton had finished. “It is. and i:’ll be rummier yet I feel somehow. Now look here, Dur- ley, sit down and stop scowling. All "want is & bit of information ont of you, and it’ll pay you to give me all you can.” “All right. Let’s have your yarn about last Monday night—got your book handy, White? —‘take your time and tell the truth. Now then.” “I've got nothing te ‘ide,” ne whined. “Il never got mixed up in nothing.
