SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 0, 1939 by Frances Shelley Wees YESTERDAY: Michael disco: ers young Gordon Deane enjoy: ing a dugout'he has made on the riverbank. Gordon admits that he wrote the anonymous diamond note, broke into the house, and has been generally snooping around with Higgins. : Chapter 35 Oath Of Secrecy ORDON thought it over. “I don’t know much,” he said. “I used to kind of think I did. I used to watch that Lissey old maid snooping around, and thought maybe she did it, but she didn’t, I guess. I’ve dug about half the woods up looking for Murchi: son’s grave, but I can’t find it.” “Don’t you think he might have been thrown in the river?” “They’d have found him down- stream, wouldn't they?” “Unless a stone, properly tied to the body ...” Michael suggest- ed. “He’d have to row him out in the river then, to drop...” stared at him. “My boat! “I knew the same guy had it!” “Your boat was stolen a year ago, I thought you said, Gordon?” es. That’s right. But...” ut what?” “Oh, nothing. Only there's somebody on this river got a boat. I’ve heard the oars at night when I been here.” : “Oars at night, eh?” Michael considered. “Lately? Since we came here?” “Oh, off and on all the time. I don’t come here every night. I have to wait until mom thinks I'm asleep, and I know they are, and then I come down here and read.” Michael glanced at the pack of cards on the bench. “And Higgins comes too, eh, and you play cards?” “Pinochle. though.” “Yes. But didn’t he swipe a key to the study door for you?” Gordon swallowed miserably. “Thanks,” said Michael. “I had an idea that’s where you got it. Now about those oars. Is the boat out in mid-stream or close in?” “Pretty close in. What gets me is that it always sounds like it’s coming in to shore, and I listen, and the oars stop like it’s been beached, and I been up and down every inch of this bank for miles and there’s no place where a boat’s landed. I go out every morning after I hear it, but I can’t find it. So I guess it doesn’t land here.” “It's up-stream from 3 Sure it isn’t down towa club?” “Sure.

I to arrest e I ought to,” Michael said gravely. “But I don’t think I will. You see, I need you: I need somebody to do two or three things for me, that nobody will notice. And I need somebody to dog nd and ferret out a few things where I mustn’t be seen. You're rp kid. If you’re game to help I'll give you the oath of se- and swear you in, and we're v shining. s I'll help!” lly. “I hate that guy anyway with his buggy brown eyes, and his...” Michael held up a_ warning. . “Shush, Gordon. No guess- lowed. No names mentioned until you can prove it. Now, spit on your right hand, and put it over your heaps. and: repeat after me, “I swear, $0 help mé Pete, never to divulge anything I know except to my chief, and I swear. to act like a fourteen-year-old kid with no brains as nearly as possible and never to hint that I am a special deputy. | swear moreover to obey ordets without question.’” “The last is the most impor- tant,” Michael told him, when the oath was taken. “Now we start. The first thing I want to discuss, Gordon, is the Creeping Man.” Two Bullets ‘HE inquest on the death of Alix Lissey had been called for Wednesday. On Tuesday after- noon, Michael, coming from the University Post Office by the woodland path, was shot. Shot at, rather. The first bullet went past his chin by a bare frac- tion of an inch, and buried itself, as he discovered by a careful search later, in a birch tree be- yond him. The second clipped his coat collar. There were no more stantly behind a big stump, and stayed there for several minutes. The shot had come from the river bank, and as he dropped he had an instantaneous glimpse of a man’s figure outlined against the sky through the trees, “So?” he said to himself as he waited there, “I know too much, eh? And the inquest is tomorrow?” Tuck came running out of the house; Michael stood up hastily before she saw where he had been and started off toward her. The gentleman with the gun would not remain in his present position for more than a second or two, An idea struck him. “Go back to the house, honey,” he said. “Gordon’s got a new rifle, and I promised to help him break it in. ll be in in a.few minutes.” Pirates Bat Out LIONS’ QUINTET IN FIRST PLACE FRILL ! | | | ‘DEFEATS SEAFOOD G | LAST NIGHT: ARMY SUR- PRISED COAST GUARD | | Key West Lions Club basket: | ball team gained first position in percentage in the Island City Basketball League tournament by THE KEY WEST CITIZEN 5 :to 3° Victory Over Tampa Today ) » | Ray Rush’s Pirates batted out | a 5-3 victory over Tampa this morning at Trumbo Field before | ia large crowd of enthusiastic fans.

That would keep her in the house, in safety, he told himself. He raced back down the path to the river fork, and went swiftly across through the trees. He stood on the edge of the bank, and looked down-stream. There was no one in sight. Cautiously, keep- ing well inside the line of trees, he followed down the bank until he was even with the Horseshoe. There was no one, and no trace of ‘anyone .*. . dropped shells, cigarette cases or anything that an obliging would-be murderer really should leave behind him, He went back to the house. “I can’t find that old racket,” Tuck said as he came in the door. “I don’t remember that you ever had one with a red handle, Mi- chael.” “Well, perhaps I gave it back,” he said vaguely. “Where’s Char- lotte Jean?” “She doesn’t know.” “Oh?” Michael wandered out into the kitchen.

In games played, however, the position amounts to a virtual tie with the Coast Guard aggregation, which has participated in two more contests than the Roaring Lions. In dropping to second place, the Guardsmen pulled the surprise of the tournament, when, for the ‘second time since play began, they lost to the Army five. More than that—the victory for the Soldiers chalked up two wins for that team, each gained at the expense of the Coast Guard play- ers, who, otherwise, have quite regularly mowed down the other two entries in the tournament.

LYNCHINGS DECREASE Editor, The Citizen: | | formation concerning lynchings | for the year 1939. I find, accord- | ing to the reports compiled in) the Department of Records and | Research, that there were three persons lynched in 1939. This is three less than the number six! for the year 1938; five less than | the number eight for each of the} years 1937 and 1936; and 17 less than the number 20 for the year | 1935. Two of the pesons lynched were taken from the hands of the law—one from the jail and the other from an officer of the law | outside of jail. There were 18 reports of in- |stances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. All of these instances reported were in southern states. In all instances, the persons were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. A total num- ber of 25 persons, five white men and 20 Negro men, were thus |saved from the hands of mobs. | Of the persons lynched, two} |were Negroes and one was |white. The offenses charged | | were: murder, one; fatal injury | |to boy in automobile accident, ‘one; altercation with man, one. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, two; Mississippi, one. Very truly yours, F. D. PATTERSON, President. Tuskegee Institute, Dee. 30, 1939.
