FRIDAY, J ANUARY 83,1941 ——d— By MEDORA FIELD YESTERDAY: First Aunt Mag- gie was murdered, and then, next day, Eve Benedict was found with a dart in her heart. Lieu- tenant Gregory seems to think Bill, who with his wife was giv- ing the houseparty at which the tragedies occurred, must have done. in Aunt Maggie. But al- though her beauty leads him to offer her every chance to clear herself,he is finding lovely Claire too close to Eve at the time of her death. And Sally, who is Bill’s harassed wife, just has said more than she should. , Chapter 36 Irate Copper Sra to say, Lieutenant Gregory did not immediately follow up the opening I had given when I mentioned my conversa tion with Eve. Instead of order- |}, ing that I inform him forthwith whether or not she definitely had committed herself and the name of the person involved, he gave me_a long, speculative look. and said, “We will go into that a little later.” It seemed to me that every- body in the room appeared a bit deflated by this anticlimax and that Lieutenant Gregory derived some hidden satisfaction from the fact. “Just now,” he continued, “I should like for Miss Dunbar to tell me how she happened to go to Mrs. Benedict's room. And before we start I want to say that unless we can conduct this inquiry calm+ ly and-without a lot of interrup- tion it will be my duty to have the lot of you sent to the tower and held on suspicion.” ‘. “The tower?” Kirk echoed un: certainly. “The county jail, the big rock,” Bi}l_ explained. ight?” asked Lieutenant Gregory. We all sat there dumbly. This, we had begun to realize, was no ticket for traffic violation which we could hand over to Uncle Henry or to some other member of the family who had “influence.” is was something we had to take—or go to the tower. “Now, Miss Dunbar,” said Lieu- tenant Gregory, “will you answer my question?” y hat—what was it?” Alice gu : Way did diet’s room? “Oh! Well, I went there for the same reason Claire did. I—that is —well, you see Claire’ and my brother are to be married. Eve Benedict came out here uninvited for the express purpose of break- ing their engagement. She was a terrible person. She had no scru- ples and she appealed to the very worst’ in a man, She had. been after my brother since before she divorced her second husband—” “What pappined to her first husband?” Lieutenant Gregory asked. “Did she divorce him?” “Not—until afterward. I mean not until after he disappeared.” “What do you mean, disap- peared?” “He just disappeared and no- body knows what. happened to him, except—” “Stick to the facts, Miss Dun- bar.” you go to Mrs. Bene- “Well, I was just thinking,” said Alice, and a look of quickly veiled craftiness came into her eyes, “that he must have hated her ter- ribly. Do Pg think he might have come back and killed her?” The question seemed to be ad- dressed to no one in particular, but I prayed Lieutenant Gregory would hold Alice to his original line of gig 4 With all that had happened at Wisteria Hall I did not feel that I could listen to two} recitals of that ugly story in one day. “Do you have any reason to think he might have come back, Miss Dunbar?” Evidently my vag be was not to be answered. “I do not believe this can pos- sibly have any connection with Mrs. Benedict’s death,” my hus- band objected. Lieutenant Gregory, immediate- ly suspicious, turned on Bill an- ‘ily. “We were to conduct this quiry without interference,” he reminded. “Sorry,” ‘Bill “My mistake.” “Now, Miss Dunbar—” Red Herring “WE. you see,” Alice began, and the spiteful gleam in her eyes showed plainly how much she enjoyed this opportunity to ive what she considered the low- lown on Eve, “it all began with her first honeymoon—Eve’'s, mean.” When the story was finished, Lieutenant Gregory looked just a little sheepish as he inquired the whereabouts of Eve's second hus- band. No doubt, he guessed by then that Alice had simply been trying to divert suspicion from herself. “Tt mappere Frank Benedict is in town,” Alice told him casually. acknowledged. | 1) again to Claire. “Miss have got you back. Oh, she was vile, vile. Why did Bill bring her out here uninvited except that she is the sort of woman that men—” “Alice,” I cried, indignantly, as Bill opened his mouth to speak, then shut it resolutely, “you know that isn’t true!” “Of course,” said Bob placating. “Alice is just upset and doesn’t know what she’s saying.” 2 Lieutenant Gregory held up his hand for silence. “Let’s leave personalities out of this,” he told Alice. “Did you have any success with Mrs, Benedict?” I realized that his voice was far too casual, but Alice rushed recklessly on. “I went to her room twice be- fore I really went in,” she said. “The first time, as I came out of my: own room, I. saw Bob leav- ing—” Alice put her: hand over her. mouth, stopping the words too late, “Why, Alice,” said Bob quickly, “why didn’t you say this, before? Perhaps you've given ‘me an alibi.” “Yes, of course,” Alice agreed eagerly. “I was going to say so, but all.this has been so upsetting.” Then she explained to Lieutenant Gregory, “I didn’t want Bob to know I had seen him, so I stepped back inside my own door.” “What did you do next, Miss Dunbar?” “I waited. a while. Then I went to Eve’s room. But I did not go in, because I heard voices.” “Please goon with your story.” “T did not really see Eve alive after lunch,” she admitted reluc- tantly, “But the voices. Did you recog- nize them?” ‘f'reeognized Eve’s, of course. She was talking to a man, but his voice..was low. I thought at first that:1 recognized the man’s voice and then.I was not sure. Natural- ly,” she added self-conscjously, “I did not stay to listen.” “And then what, Miss Dunbar?” “But that’s all. I thought that for some reason Bob had gone back again to Eve’s room. But, as I said, I was not sure. Now I know it must have been Kirk’s voice I heard.” Nobody looked at anyone else as Aliee made this pronounce- ment. Lieutenant Gregory grunted. “Seems to have been a sort of convention in that room,” he observed. “Wonder how you kept from falling over each other. We will have to get straight on the time-element. As it is now, any one of four people in this group could’ ‘have killed Mrs. Benedict. Mr. Dunbar, will you tell us as nearly. as. possible the time of your visit to her room?” Suspicion OB reddened. “If I cannot, does it mean'I wili be under sus- picion of having comnitted the murder?” “You are already under sus- pieion. Everyone in the house who cannot account for his or her whereabouts at the time of the murder is naturally under sus- picion..But I would suggest that. you ‘answer my question.” “Iam trying to think. If Sally had‘ only installed a watchman’s clock for all of us to punch at given intervals, it would be so much simpler—” Lieutenant Gregory jerked his head impatiently. “Answer the question,” he ordered tersely. “Let me see . . .” Bob still hesi- tated a long time, and Claire gazed at some point just above his head. Evidently she could not bear to think that he haa gone di- rectly from that little session at the piano to a tryst with Eve. “But”—Bob’s expression brighten ed—“Alice has just told you she saw me come out and that later on she heard Eve engaged in con- versation with someone else.” “Very easy for a sister to get mixed up, under all the circum- stances,” said Lieutenant Gregory. “Mr. Dunbar, I suppose your con- versation with Mrs. Benedict was also—” “Personal,” Bob finished for im. “And you, Miss Dunbar, with all your previous trips to Mrs. Benedict's room, are you sure you heard nothing that aroused your suspicions in ery way? You saw no one in the hall at any time whose behavior might have struck you as strange?” Alice looked from one door to the other, as though seeking some avenue of escape, then back at the stern-faced officer, and her eyes dropped beneath his scrutiny. “T have told you everything I she said, a little sulkily. Lieutenant Grego: turned > jarper, are you quite sure you saw no one in the bathrocm when you thought you—heard a sound from that di- rection?” Claire seemed completely non- plused by this new attack. “Oh, no,” she insisted. “Why do you ask?" “Because,” Lieutenant Gregory told her, ‘someone did go in that “Make a note to get in touch with Frank Benedict as soon as we are through with this inquiry,”| Roberts was told “But—” I began, then sti remembering jeutenant ory's edict “Yes?” he asked. “I was only going to say that 1 don't see how he could have any- thing to do with Eve's death.” “Was she collecting alimony?” “Oh, yes,” Alice breathed “Loads of it.” “Pretty good motive, anyway,” said the officer. “Miss Dunbar, when you went to Mrs. Benedict's room, I gather that you meant to tell her to keep off the grass?” “Yea, leave my brother alone.

ALICE OO.9 SOOO OSA) A - example of the breed in America. | MARBLE IN PROFESSIONAL RANKS | By SAM JACKSON, AP Feature Service Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3 —With Alice Marble in the professional ranks, a wide-open race is on for the title of queen of American ten- nis. Not since pig-tailed, poker-faced Helen Wills won the champion- | ship at’the age of 16—this way ’way back in 1923—has there been shch a well-matched field. There* | is no dominant contender. Any | | one of a score of girls may tri- ther close observers in this ten- | umph at Forest Hills next sum- nis center does not follow these | mer, and gain the honors and po- rankings. While conceding ‘the ex- | tential fortune which few, if any other, sports offer to a woman. The race is being incubated in California, from which Helen Wills, Helen Jacobs and Alice Marble hail and which, on, the basis of official rankings, pos- sesses the majority of serious con- tenders. Local. matches will be watched closely during the win- ter, but.a real line on prospective champions is scarcely possible until the big eastern tournaments of 1941. On the record, Helen Hull Jacobs must be considered the girl to beat. The Berkeley lass ‘was national champion from 1932 \through 1935, and in the 1940 playoff she was too good for every young upstart but not good enough for Queen Alice. Jacobs Slipping? Miss Jacobs is 32, an age at which most athletes are consider- : ed to have passed their peak, and her health is not perfect. She had a hard time eliminating Virginia Wolfenden of San Francisco in ‘the quarter finals at Forest Hills, and when the California state championship rolled around she was defeated by her young neigh- bor. | Here are the 1940 official rank- ings of the first ten: Alice Marble, California (pro). Helen Hull Jacobs, California. Pauline Betz, California. Dorothy Bundy, California. ‘fornia. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, Califor- nia. Virginia Wolfenden, California, Helen Bernhard, New York.

Tickets sold for the Ohio-Lions game will be honored tonight or tomorrow night when the Trii- angles meet U.S. Marines. c Easier For Daffer yyan and Sarazen came up with ;Similar: opinions~in the matter, to | wit: Golf courses are too tough for the duffer; too easy for the pro- _ fessional. Runyan would traps- entirely. | “My idea”, said Paul, “would be to eliminate bunkers. Traps, when they are raked smooth, aren’t hazards to the better pro- fessionals. Any pro in a trap be- side a reasonably fjat green ex- pects to get down in two, at most i three, strokes. | “Your highscoring player may take as many as three to get out of the sand, and. perhaps that many more to get down”. Sarazen favored moving traps. “A flock of traps 150 yards from the tee will cause untold suffering among the great mass of average golfers”, he asserted. “But the pros won't even see them. Why not put traps down the fairways where they'll catch 2 pro’s wild tee shot but won't bother the daily. player who can't drive that far? “And why not build greens with character? The average golfer can't be expected to hit as far as the pro, but he should putt just as well”. Again Runyan’s ideas agreed. “Let's make our courses tough- er for the low scorers by taking advantage of contours and rolls”, he said “Let the greens be faced so there is an opening for shots from straight down the middle. Then the long hitters wouldn't be able to let out without a care of where the ball might’ go. There could be slopes to the center to throw the ball toward the hole when the shot is made from the correct position, but a downward roll on the sides to make it dif- ficult for a player who comes in- to the green from off line”.

While their “outside” breth- ren do their knocking around either before or after the sea- son, the.Alaska cage artists get in their travel throughout their regular season. Six towns—Juneau, Doug- las, Wrangel, Petersburg, Ketchikan and Skagway— comprise the Alaska high school league. The principal means of travel is by boat. Longest jump is between Ketchikan and Skagway. It takes. 36. hours by boat. Longest jump for the Juneau team is 22 hours to Ketchikan. The teams play three-game series, so the entire trips take a. week each.
