TUESDAY,OCTOBER 6, 1986: The Wrong Murderer SYNOPSIS: Terence Mahony has returned from four yeare in China to London, aud the hia friend Billy Koss jervous, irritable ntry place dinner. and Koss's car ae ErrZoeely taco the attch a: imsel/ sertously He is hurrying to finish his et Selere losing vonsciousncen Chapter Two FANCY DRESS ‘ee E man bebind the whole thing is Ambrose Lawson,” he said in &@ strong, clear voice. Ross’ grip on Mahony’s sleeve re laxed. He gave a faint sigh and lay still. Far away in the distance a glow in the sky announced the approach of another car. Mahony rose to his feet. His obvious next move was to stop the approaching car. And then what?... if Ross were not dead already, be would probably die trom his tnju ries. Mahony hoped that he was al ready dead. A man who had been a. member of a dope-peddling and kid napping outfit was better dead. He had no doubt whatever about that. By HUGH CLEVELY of anything like a complete recov- ery. Whatever happened Billy Koss would be a helpless cripple for the Fest of his life. ERENCE MAHONY was not a man who would strike the casual observer as being remarkable to look at. His age was twenty-six. He was of-tough, stringy build, stood about five feet ten in height, ‘weighed about 175 pounds, and was inclined to be careless what clothes he wore. He carried himself with a slight slouch that made bim took shorter | than he really was. His eyes were grey. and very calm and unworried: his smile, though infrequent, was goodnatured; his chin was obsti- nate; his bair was a reddish brown color and inclined to wave. His manners were quiet and self- contained; when he was bored he was apt to show it by inattention. There were certain contradictions bout him which puzzled. and some times annoyed, people with whom he came into contact. He was an escel- | jerit natura! athlete, and had repre sented his schooi at football and box- ing. and bis county at lawn tennis, ‘but he was incapable of taking any game really seriously. From his father, an Irishman who had been Professor of English liter- ature at a minor English university, Billy Ross was atijl unconscious. Yes, that was quite Clear, r as iwent. 6 e Standing there, waiting. Mahong thought of-another Ross, Bitly Koss a8 he had been four years ago, reck- Jess, unstable, but generous and good-natured to a favit. The Billy \Ross who had saved his life. He knew perfectly well what he was going to do. He wasn't going to the police. If he went to the police with bis story about Ross and Law. son, they would certainly believe the story about Ross, but it was not sé cértain that they would believe the part about Lawson. or. even if they did believe it. they might not be able to get proof of Lawson's compticity in the dope trade. Ross had wanted things hushed up for the sake of his parents, and Ma: hony proposed to see that his wish was carried out. As fot Lawson and his associates, he would deal with them himself. {t would give bim something to occupy his mind before he went abroad again. As the approaching car eqme nearer, he stepped out into the road way and held up his hand. At the scene of the crasn the car st»rped; couple of men sprang out and cam running forward. “What's bapgen 2’ asked one of them excitedtys "Gor venSewhat a frightful crash! ‘ls'anyone burt?” “Yes, | think my friend has been killed.” answered Mahony quietly. “We burst a back tire and the car overturned.” He paused. “There was another car just be hind us, but it dida’t even stop,” he added. The three of them got busy. Ross was lifted into the néweomers’ car and taken toa hospital Mahony tele phoned to Captain Ross, telling bim of his son’s accident, and had a long interview with the police, The story that he told them was simply that a back tire burst at speéd and the car overturned. After that he returned to the hospital to await Captain Ross. At a late hour that aight. Billy Ross was unconscious but still alive. ‘There was, the doctors sald, a faint chance that he might survive. But they held out no hopes whatever € Today In History 1536—(400 years ago) William Tyndale, English reformer, f*-st te translate the Bible into English, put to death for heresy. 1688—Ship “Concord” landed 12 Mennonite families to found} Germantown, Pa.—teginning of German immigration to America. ‘hé had Inherited.» love of.reading. Somet for lopg peri he re. ined silent; at other ti: with the most serious air, he talked the “most fantastic. nonsense. If he made/up his mind to do any- thing, he df@ not waste time talking about it; he simply set. about duing it, He liked to make nis own plans and act on them, And the opinions of other people did not worry him. HE day after the smash he re- turned to London, took a couple of furnished rooms for himself, and temoved all his things from Ross’s flat. He also took the opportunity of Boing thoroughly through Ross's possessions in the hope of finding something which might shed light on his criminal activities. But he found nothing. One possession only of -Ross’s, however, he took away with him—a fancy costume which Ross had intended to wear at the Cinema Ball. That costume had arrived the pre- vious morning, and Mahony had ex- amined it with some curiosity It was.a long, brightly colored gar- ment, with a colored head-dress, and was obviously meant to disguise its wearer as an Arab sheik. But, Ma- hony noticed, both robe and head- dress were lined with black and were made reversible, so that they could be worn equally well inside out. Worn thus, with a slightly differ- ent arrangement of the headdress, the costume transformed its wearer into a black-garbed, cowled monk. He had asked Ross where, and for what reason, he had obtained such a curiously made costume, and Ross had become fidgety and irritable, and had replied crossly that he didn’t see anything curious about it and he neither knew nor cared where it had originally come trom; he was wearing it because it had been sent along to him by a friend. Recalling that Elsa Little was to have been kidnapped at the Cinema Ball, Mahony connected the costume with the deed. He decided to attend the ball—and to wear Ross’ costume, (Copyright, 1936, Hugh Clevely) Mahony makes a call on Sisa Little, tomorrow.
