A period |of recreation on the club’s shuf- Cree n by Frances Shelley Wees YESTERDAY: The samhe rainy might, Gordon Deane is severely wounded, and the Forresters gassed. Duncan ts arrested. Chapter 44 The Case Against Duncan 'Y THE ti:1e Michael was feel- ing almost well the doctor was able to say positively that Gordon would live—live, and quite possi- bly be himself again within a month or two. By the merest frac- tion of a chance -he blow had failed to be fatal. Gordon was not yet conscious, and the doctor would not in any event allow him to be questioned for many days. Later that day Michael, with his sgl and the Commissioner, were ack at the Forrester house. Tuck and Bunny were still in bed at the Deanes’. The District Attorney was very angry. There was a spot of bril- liant red in either cheek, and his ghagey brows were bent in such a ferocious frown that his eyes never became visible. “The devil!” he was saying over and over to himself. “The devil!” “Donovan’s swearing mad,” the Commissioner said. “He didn’t seem to mind about you, Michael, god the three women being at the point of death. But he’s ready to frangle with nis own hands the man who hit a defenseless and in- nocent lad.” Michae! smiled wryly. “Gordon isn’t quite as defenseless and in- Bocent as he appears,” he replied. ‘Apparently our murderer’s found {t out. I tell you—Gordon’s been keeping watch for me.” “Michael,’ is father broke in brusquely, “the girls are safe at the Deanes’? *They couldn’t be safer, dad.” "No. Perhaps not. But | thought «..” he puffed angrily at his pipe. “Michael. I'm all completely raz- zle-dazzled. You told me that stuff abcut the vivisection and you hinted at a man a certain man . and I’ve been suspecting him all along, waiting for you to pile up the evidence. And now——” he faved ais son squarely. “Michael, he worst man in the world would pot attack his own son so! It’s im- possible. lad! And on top of that ‘ou have another man arrested fpat seems as innocent as the gnet ring empla- e dealing d at las ¥ M |tis finger in a s! jon. “It's not am u hing. 1 think. A d madman.

Ir s that he’s d immediately ow how to an- ‘Unbelievable’ E sat at the big desk and propped his head on one hand “First,” he said, “what about that ‘letter from Chicago? We know it was a fake, in this way— that it was sent from here by some- one, held in Chicago a few days, and then sent back. But—the ex- pert testified that Murchison him- self wrote it. Until Smith came with his frantic story a few days back, that seemed utterly impos- sible, although the expert does not make mistakes. I told myself then that the only way in which he could have made a mistake was in the case of two handwritings, be- longing to members of the same family, alike in temperament and upbringing. Therefore, I decided that it was quite possible that Duncan could have written the letter. 1 discovered that their handwritings were very similar by looking up lab reports at the Uni- versity. No one there can tell them apart. So that point might be settled so.” His father looked at him curi- ously, but Michael went straight on. “Second, Duncan's story about the diamonds sounded remarkably uabelievable. He wanted the dia- monds. The very fact that his brother put pebbles where Duncan thought the diamonds were to be fr to some misunderstanding. know Duncan said it was to de- ceive the wife, but that needn’t be true. And, if you remember the ea Duncan made to Marie on e sun porch, about not being able to stand it any longer — stand what? And the threat to kill some- one—it looks as if he wanted more than the diamonds, doesn’t it? It seems that they have had a quar- fel later, perhaps. It may be that ican knows the truth about Jared Devoe now. But we could interpret the situation at that time as we have interpreted it. There we have Duncan's motives. , he has no proven alibi for the night of the murder. He says he was at the theater, but he can’t wove it. We know that Marie lurchison—or rather Mr. Deane Says so—got out of a car beside the men's residence, where Dun- can lives, at midnight. Had they been somewhere together in a car? “Fourth, what did Miss Lissey say to Duncan on that Sunday afternoon of the day she was killed? Was she threatening him with exposure? It seems strange | that she should have died—and b: poison — immediately afterward, particularly when you realize that Duncan, as a chemist, can buy poisons in any amounts he desires, without creating suspicion. Keep- ing that fact in mind, who had a better opportunity to put the poi- son in the meat fhat came here in- tended for us? I tell you, gentle- men, the whole business is a very carefully planned and carried out bit of villainy.” He held up his | hand as his father started to inter= rupt. “Just a minute,” he said. “You are going to say that I should have traced the strange stuff that killed the dog and cat by now. I have. It is a gaseous poison, which was made by Dr. Murchison and Dr. Murchison only, in the process of some of his experiments, and the remainder of the supply stands at the present moment in a blue glass bottle in his own cabinet.” John Forrester broke out. “Are you trying to palm that rigmarole off on to us as reasonable?” he de= manded indignantly. “Dad, do you think it’s nice to doubt my word so obviously?” Michael asked. His tone was sor= rowful, but his eyes twinkled. “Humpf! Your first, seconds and thirds! Your plausible ‘could haves’ and ‘might have beens’— umpf!” He gesticulated angrily with the end of his pipe. “I’ve a few questions, my son. Maybe you'll answer them, and maybe you won't. First,—where is Mur- chison? Second—why didn’t Dun- can mean he’d kill Jared Devoe if he didn’t stop monkeying with the woman? Any decent boy would talk like that, though he shouldn’t have talked so loudly. Third,— why the devil don’t you find out where the woman was the night her husband was killed, instead of hinting that she might have been with Duncan? Fourth,—you can’t tell me the lad intended to poison the girls, even if he did think you’d be better dead, with his poisoned meat. Indeed! Fifth,—why couldn’t the Lissey woman have passed on some of her slanderous tales to Duncan the afternoon she died, and told him it was time he did something about his brother’s death, for instance? what she would have done. And sixth,—my son, how did it happen that he had the poison on him to kill her with before he knew that | she was going to blow up and threaten him with something? An- swer me that?” The Proof “TAD,” Michael said critically, T can see now why you were a good defense lawyer. You are positively eloquent, man, although you do get a bit mixed. However” —he paused—“well, in case any- body happens to ask, you’d at least have a case sufficient to issue the warrant, wouldn't you?” “No,” said John Forrester de= cidedly. There was a rap at the door. Michael jumped to open it. Dono- van stood on the threshold with a small package in his hand. He said nothing. Michael took the parcel. “Here's your proof,” he said. “Donovan, tell hin: where you found the contents of this parcel.” “In the bottom drawer of Dun can Murchison’s dresser, sir.” Michael tore off the paper. He | held cut a bunch of keys and a small gray box. “With my comp! ments,” he said. “Edgar Murchi- son’s key ring, and...” he took the little gray box back, and slid it open. “Ten of the tablets of the poiscn that killed Miss Lissey, How about that, dad?” Donovan at a sign from Michael stepped out onto the sun porch and brought in Higgins, whose knees were visibly shaking. . “Higgins, where were you last night?” Higgins gulped. “S’welp me, Mr. Forrester, I was ’ome in bed.” “Can you prove that?” “That I can, sir. | rooms with one of the under-gardeners, sir.” “Were you rooming with him on the night of the murder?” Higgins’ little eyes darted to his face, and fell. “You mean Miss Lis- sey’s murder, Mr. Forrester?” tNo." “You means—Professor Murchi- son’s murder, sir?” “You've got it now. Were you?” sir, I was. But it’s no use, he ain't got brains enough to re- member back that far.” There was despair in his tones. eo very bad for you, Hig- in. The narrow shoulders drooped. Michael leaned forward. “How did you know the necklace was hidden here on the campus?” he aoe fs “Didn't know nothink about it.” “Oh, piffle. Come clean. You were hunting for it, and you ex- pected to get several thousand dollars—five thousand preferably —reward for finding it. And you Pinched the key to the study, and gave it to Gordon, who was in cahoots with you.” Higgins swallowed. “I 'eard the Professor Lp with his wife, and ’e told ’er as ‘ow ’e’d ’idden the necklace where she’d never lay ‘ands on it. That was—that was the day ’e disappeared like. I figgered as ’ow I might as well ‘ave a look for it as anybody else. ‘Er and that Mr. Devoe dug up *alf me flower beds diggin’ for it. A blind man would ’a’ known what was up.” “You seem to have overheard a number of important things, Hig- gins, do you know where Professor Murchison’s body is?” The question destroyed the little Poise the gardener had regained. He stared at Michael with terrified eyes. “No sir, I ain’t got no idea, sir.” Higgins went out and Michael laughed lightly. Continued tomorrow = guests. Why?
