SATURDAY. JANUARY 4, 1941 Wh; Killed, Aunt Maggie’ P By MEDORA FIELD YESTERDAY: The murder of Aunt Maggie shattered the house- party being given by Sally and her husband, Bill. But next morn- ing one of the guests, Eve Bene- dict, also was murdered, and as if that were not enough, Lieu- tenant Gregory, of the Atlanta Potice has decided that Bill was- guilty of the first crime. But Bill oculd not have stabbed Eve, and the Lieutenant is doing his best to pin this death on another of the guests. Chapter 37 Inquest Rehearsal “THERE is a door leading from the bath directly into the hall,” Lieutenant Gregory ex- plained patiently. “Or rather the bath opens into a kind of dressing Toom or closet or something which opens into the hall. Mrs. Benedict seems to have occupied the only room with a bath from which you can go directly to the hall.” He gave me one of his searching looks, as though trying to decide whether I might have had some ulterior motive in as- signing Eve that particular room. “There was nothing strange about that,” I felt called upon to explain. “It is the room formerly occupied by my grandparents. I hadn’t meant to use it, unless pager for Aunt Maggie—until ve came unexpectedly. My grandfather had the door cut be- cause he liked to get up early, and in this way he could dress in the bathroom and leave without disturbing my grandmother by Passing back through the room.” “I see,” Lieutenant Gregory nodded. “And you, Mrs. Stuart did you also go calling on Mrs. Benedict after lunch?” ‘Tm sorry,” I told him, “but I suppose I have what you call an alibi. Anyway, I have not been alone for one moment since lunch. I was with Alice and Kirk in the library—in this room, that is— until Mr. Marshall came to tell me about—about Bill.” Mr. Marshall cleared his throxt. “Lieutenant,” he~asked, “doesn’t this second murder make it plain enough te you that Mr. Stuart is not guilty of the charge you have made against him?” “What charge?” Bob asked quickly, and I realized with a little shock that all our guests were not yet aware of the fact that Bill was Lieutenant Greg- ory’s number-one suspect for the first murder. “Just a little charge of homi- peses oy red-headed husband explained bitterly. “He thinks I killed Aunt Maggie.” Lieutenant Gregory waited for the exclamations and ejaculations to subside. “I canno. see how the situation has changed with Mrs. Benedict's death,” he said, “ex- cept that it is plain I am going to have to take you all one by one to thresh this thing out. No- body’s told all he knows yet.” He paused, looked over at Mr. Dod- son and asked, “Any suggestions. Coroner?” “Not at the moment,” Mr. Dod- son answered. “i was going to ask you to let me try a little plan of my own, but perhaps it would be best to go on with your indi- vidual questioning.” “What was your plan?” Lieu- tenant Gregory asked, a bit tes- ily. “We can still try it if nothing definite has developed when you have finished,” Mr. Dodson ex- plained. “I should like to hold what might be considered a sort of inquest rehearsal. My idea would be to assemble all the sur- viving members of the house party and the servants in this room, question each briefty and let him or her testify with regard to the two murders.” “An inquest rehearsal,” Lieu- tenant Gregory repeated doubt- fully, while looks of consternation spread around the room, “with everybody under oath, just as they would be at the inquest? What's the use. if you are going to have to hold an inquest, any- way?” “I believe this will obviate the necessity of a forma! inquest.” said Mr. Dodson quietly “You mean you believe the murderer will confess?” “Tf should like to discuss that with you privately,” Mr. Dodson | replied. Protest ‘HE storm broke then, with everybody demanding to know if we hadn't been through enough without having to submit to_an unnecessary third degree. Bob was especially resentful. “My sis- ter cannot stand much more of this,” he told Lieutenant Gregory. And knowing Alice, I thought it| quite likely that she might at any } moment fling a fit and fall in it, as/ Bessie would say. Certainly I had had all of Alice's dramatics that| I cared for. I think Lieutenant Gregory was | of half a mind to refuse Mr. Dod- son's request until he saw how] distasteful the idea was to every-| one else. Bob had just asked | whether such a proceeding was legal and Kirk had said he was} less concerned over that point| than whether it was really neces- sary. “Of course, we all want the sit- uation cleared up, but it does seem to me we have had rather a lot of cross-examination already,” Kirk added. “How do you thing such situa- tions are cleared up?" Lieutenant Gregory asked grimly. “I think.” said Mr. Marshall There are 2,500 species of liz- ards. placatingly, “that it would be best to follow Mr. Dodson’s plan. After all, don’t lose sight of the fact that he came out here as a favor to me. What he is doing is | because of friendship, rather than —er—animosity or the desire to make anyone uncomfortable. When his little—seance is over, T believe we can all hope to go back to town, can we not, Officer?” | “Back to town, yes,” agreed Lieutenant Gregory and I don’t think any of us missed his mean- ing, for it was plain to see that | he did not expect us all to go back to our accustomed habitats. “All right,” he said, glancing | around the group, “we can take a little recess now. But everybody must stay within call—that is, in the house. And by the way, Mrs. Stuart,” he added, as the general exodus began, “may I speak te 9” remained with me, of course, and, when the room was elear Lieutenant Gregory said, “In your testimony a little while ago, you said Mrs. Benedict inti- mated that she knew who com- mitted the first murder?” “She did,” ¥ admitted, “but—” “I did not press the point,” he interrupted, “to ask whether she. actually gave you any idea of her suspicions or possible knowledge. (—er—had a reason for this. But first, please repeat to Roberts as much_of your conversation with Mrs, Benedict as you remember,” “But that’s all,” I said. “She simply hinted at things, and when | I tried to get her to be’ definite She began to hedge and said she might be mistaken.” “Just what did she say ex- actly?” 1; the effect that she wanted to get things straight in her own mind, or that she wanted to check up on something. I cahnot remem- ber exaetly, because at the time I got the impression she was only giving herself airs. She always liked to appear important.” “Too bad you didn’t make her go into detail,” said Lieutenant Gregory. “Bat I did try,” I told him again, “and when she shut up I told her it was her duty to tell the police what she knew.” “Why didn’t you tell me this Recess when I first came? I could have | had her down for questioning im- mediately.” “I — naturally, thought you would wish to conduct your in- vestigation in your own way. That aan would question her yourself and—” “Now, now,” said Bill, reading my mind as he so often. does. “Don’t you go getting any idea you are responsible for Eve’s death. Whoever killed her had good and sufficient reason.” “But there is just a possibility,” Lieutenant Gregory went on, “that she was killed because she knew too much. The chances are more than good, however, that her murder had nothing to do with Mrs. Ambler’s death.” “But it seems perfectly logical that the same person committed both crimes,” Mr. Marshall ar- gued. “After all, there cannot be a house full of murderers running around loose.” involuntarily he looked back over his shoulder as though he expected an assassin to appear from behind the am- bush of the wing chair. “I don’t see it that way,” said the officer stubbornly. “True, when a man or a woman has killed one time, it is much easier to kill again. And, after all, you can die only once, no matter how many crimes you commit. But usually a murderer follows pretty much the same technique in his activities. And usually all his murders can be traced td the : same motive. That’s why I thin! these were committed by different people and probably amateurs at that. If you will analyze the: two eases, you will see that there iis no apparent connection, . Mrs. Ambler was strangled to death. I believe monetary gain to be the motive. But Mrs, Benedict was stabbed, and the only motive we have been able to uncover so far is personal dislike.” “But if she were killed to cover ; up on the first murder, you would need no other motive,” Mr. Mar- shall told him. “I admit that. But there is an- other reason why I do not believe the two crimes were committed by the same person. Mrs, Ambler’s death was the result of cold cal- culation. But Mrs. Benedict was killed while the police were in | the house. No one, except in the heat of passion, would take such a chance.” “I believe,” said Mr. Dodson, “that he was taking what he be- lieved to be the lesser of two chances.” “He?” asked Bill quickly. “Just a convenient pronoun,” Mr. Dodson smiled “Thought perhaps you had reached some definite conclusion,” Bill explained, his feathers visibly drooping. “He probably has.” said Mr, Marshall. “That's why I feel we should give him all the coopera- tion we ean.” “Of course, I can guarantee nothing.” Mr. Dodson deprecated, “If vou have definite suspicions, a should say so,” Lieutenant Gregory told him crossly “Don't ask me to commit myself yet. It will be better for all con- cerned if I keep my own counsel, And even if my suspicions are confirmed, we may still have the pe of proving our cases, which not always easy to do.” ‘Te de continsed (Cobyright, 99%, Madore Piatd Parterson) } The ancient Egyptians used locks on their doors.
