FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1941 ap mea ene Old Sarge Thinks Jim Jr. By MEDORA FIELD YESTERDAY: The week end guests Sally and Bill had asked down ‘to celebrate Claire and Bob’s engagement are now all suspected of murder. For Sally's Aunt Maggie was killed the night before, ind this morning Eve Benedict was stabbed tc death. Coroner Dodson, who 1s blind, is about to hold what he calls @ rehearsal of the inquest, and all the guests, the police and the servants are gathered in the library. Chapter 42 Rehearsal | IEUTENANT GREGORY does * not agree with me as to this,” Mr. Dodson went on. “He believes the murders are the work of different people. If such is the case, then more than one person is behind what has happened here since Mrs. Ambler came down those back stairs last night to meet her death in the narrow Passage at the back of the house. “In other words”—Mr. Dodson paused for a moment before going, on—“l repeat that I firmly be- lieve there is a connection be- tween the two murders, and therefore if more than one per- son is guilty a thorough sifting of the evidence in one case should bring, to light evidence against more’ than one person.” “I think we are wasting our time,” Lieutenant Gregory re- marked with more than a little show of irritation. “After all, we have a confession in one case and in the other we have evidence sufficient to justify an arrest. What more can you want? Put Miss Dunbar and Mr. Stuart be- hind the bars and this case will break wide open. My job is done and [ have other work to look after. I'm not supposed to spend my life on an open and shut case.” “But you agreed to indulge me,” Mr. ingratiating haps you will waste of time.” “All right, but let’s get along with it.” “Very well. Technically we do not have an actual witness, We have someone who heard, but who did not see the principals in the first murder. Andrew, will you stand and repeat your story of what you heard last night?” “Yes—yes, sir,” Andrew replied in a scared voice. “Yes, sir—” per ind 4 the edge of the reading table, Andrew tried to steady himself and his voice at the same time. ‘ “Go on,” said Mr. Dodson kind- y “Mr. Bill—” Andrew looked at Bill. beseeching] “That's all rig Bilk, on.” So Andrew told his story again, haltingly and with many lapses into silence, from which he had to be prodded by Lieutenant Gregory or Mr. Dodson, and I must say that it had the ring of truth, nor did it vary from that earlier version as I remembered it and as Roberts had it written down in his notebook. When Andrew came to that part where Aunt Maggie was said to have cried out, Mr. Dodson stopped him, “I want you,” he said, “to imitate as nearly as pos- sible the tone and expression of Mrs. Ambler’s voice.” And then as Andrew hesitated, looking vague and even more helpless, Mr. Dodson explained, “Say it as nearly as you can like Mrs. Am- bler said it.” Andrew's face cleared. “Yes, sir. Well, she say ‘Don’t you dare hands on me, Willie’” An with the Negro’s special gift for mimiery, Andrew’s voice rose at the end so that what had begun as a command ended as an en- treaty. It was, in fact: the whole gamut of emotion, from arrogant self-confidence to desperate panic. Something Wrong 'R. DODSON nodded his head. | & hep agi do, Andrew,” he) said, and ‘T’wondered if Mr. Dod-} son's reaction in any way ap-| proached my own.

F could figure it out ‘I'll probably think of it after Eve gone to bed tonight.” | told Myself, There would be plenty of time for thinking if Bill were taken to jail. How would I ever sleep again with such a cloud hanging over our lives? Mt Dodson’s face wore a sort of hooded look. With sight, | de- cided, he probably would have made a marvelous poker player He asked me to repeat my own part of the evening’s performance, which I did. I told of finding the house deserted, of seeing the strange man in the driveway, of heart footsteps in the kitchen and a downstairs door slam while t was upstairs. I told of the telephone messag: which Andrew said he receiv Of the green scrap of paper with its sinister warning Of the r- reloverheard between Aunt Mag- ie and Eve.

I told} of finding the second message on smile, “and per- not regret the he, Andrew,” said a. | Hinglish ‘Umor “what al big family you have, visitor. funny thing Ss begin with Mrs. Jones’. seid t “Yes'm, jAnd the is that all he na . Dodson reminded, with an|* green paper and of the scrap of paper which Bob found: I told of being asked to settle the argument between Lindy and Thomas about Ephraim and said that while I_was reasonably cer- tain it was Ephraim’s footsteps I heard in the kitchen, and Ephraim who slammed a door, I had no notion otherwise as to any explanation of anything that had happened. “When only yourself and Mrs. Benedict were left in this room after dinner, you say that she told you she was going to the powder room, which is in .the hall?” Mr. Dodson asked. “I don’t believe she said that exactly. As I remember she said she was going to powder her nose, which might have meant a trip upstairs. It was later, when we were all trying to recall where we mu.t have been at the time that Eve said she had been in the pow- der room. And that’s a strange. thing, but she said then that it reminded her of something, or rather that it explained some- thing.” “Can you be a little more defi- nite, please, Mrs, Stuart?” “I don't know,” I hesitated. “1 rather got the impression that something that had puzzled her when she was. in the powder room was explained by the murder or something in connection with it. We had been trying to figure the exact time it occurred. I remem- ber she did not finish what she was saying and that one of us asked her what she meant.” “And what did she say then?” “I don’t remember exactly. It was an evasive answer. I think she said, ‘Oh, just something I hadn’t thought of before,’ or something like that. | thought she was just trying to be mysterious. And thinking, too, that if she hadn’t kept me in the library I might have reached the passage lin time to prevent—Aunt Mag- ie’s murder.” “Does anyone else recall exact- ly what Mrs. Benedict said?” asked Mr. Dodson. Everybody seemed to be wait- ing for someone to speak, then Kirk said, “I believe Sally has quoted her correctly, at least so far as the meaning of Mrs. Bene- dict’s statement is concerned.” “Thank you,” said Mr. Dodson, “and now, Mrs, Stuart, do you re- member who asked Mrs. Benedict to complete her unfinished state- ment?” Pointed Question S I looked around, trying to remember, I wondered if Mr. Dodson felt that,the identity of that person might provide a clue to Eve's murder. While I pondered this question, Bob said, “It was 1 who asked her what she had started to say.” “Ah,” said Mr, Dodson, “then everyone present had some inti- mation that Mrs. Benedict might | know something. Your question and her evasion of a direct answer would have made this fact all the more pointed.” “Yes,” Bob admitted, “but 1 | did not think of it that way at the time.” “Your question was a perfectly natural one,” Mr. Dodson agreed. “I dare say if you had not asked it, someone else would have, In fact, I am surprised that one of the ladies did not beat you to it.” Then turning to me again, “Mrs. Stuart, it did not occur to you that Mrs. Benedict might have passed on through the breakfast room and have met Mrs. Ambler in the passage, even when you knew they had quarreled: before dinner?” “T didn’t take their quarrel |seriously. But, yes, it did occur to | pitching, d | me. later on, though me. | I knew that | it didn’t make sense.” “Yet the prospect of losing her alimony might provide a very strong motive.” said Mr. Dodson, apparently more to himself than to Fale else. Bill was questioned then and the time element discussed. An- drew had testified that Bill had ' tne ping-pong rackets and net and balls in his hands when he found him upstairs in our room and was |just ready to start back down- stairs. Everyone else in turn gave an account of his or her whereabouts, Alice fretfully complaining that she thought she should not be | questioned again after having signed a confession. Bessie and Thomas and Lindy were ques- tioned too, but nothing came out which seemed to shed any further light on the situation. “Can't us go, now?” Bessie asked when that was. over. But no, Mr. Dodson wist to stay put as again ex pressed it, “Miss Dunbar,” he asked, “would you mind explain- ing why you ran away when you knew you had no possible chance of escape?” “Because 1 couldn't s more of i wasn’t trying wanted to go where f quiet.

Next season there'll be another ; Jim Bagby qpernine "em across home plate“ind the old sergeant thinks Jim Jr. bas what it takes to help the Indians turn the trick again, “Jim never would have done Boston any good”, says the elder Bagby, beaming at the trade which sends his son to Cleveland. “This’ll be Jim’s chance”. Can he do as well as the old sergeant? His dad won't predict, and Jim Jr. is doubtful. “It’s bad luck to try to call your shots”, savs Bagby senior, now middle-aged and sparse-hair ed and recently retired from his Iry-cleaning business. “T’ll say, though, I ought to win at least ten”, is the younger Bag- by’s guess. Easier In Dad’s Day? Young Jim thinks it was a lot easier to rum up an imposing vic- tory string in his Dad’s day than now. ms “Shucks”, he says, “when dad was pitching they didn’t have but maybe five home-run hitters in the league. Today nearly every team has a_ half-dozen. Every man in the Red Sox infield hit 20 homers or better last season”. “In my day”, explains the elder Bagby, “we usetl the dead’ ball, and most players choked up on their hits instead of swinging for long hits. They were trying for base hits, though, every time”. “That's just it”, interjects young Jim. “When you had three men on base a hit might mean_ one, maybe two runs. Now if a batter | connects it’s probably the ball} game”. ! Give young Jim pointers? dad shakes his head. “He doesn’t pitch anything like me”, he says. “He's more like his uncle, Clarence (Pop Boy) Smith, who played in the South- ern league and I think a _ little while for Cleveland. He's a fast- ball pitcher with some curve. Mine was mostly curve-ball, pitching”. The elder Bagby thinks young Jim needs more control and a better curve—adds that “he'd bet- ter start now, ‘cause he'll never learn any younger”. Elbow Injury A Handicap An elbow injury, suffered when he was about 14 years old, may have some effect on the boy’s his dad says, Young Jim himself, says the injury caused by an immature effort to pitch a sharp-breaking curve—prob- ably affects his fast ball more than anything. “If’I could straighten my arm completely”, he explains, “I guess I could get more speed, but other- wise it doesn’t bother me”. Both think the trend in base- ball is toward “taking the pitcher out of the game”. , “Why”, complains young Jim, “they're even talking about let- ting another player bat for the pitcher”. “Yeah”, adds his dad, started taking away from the pitcher when they stopped the spit ball. And another thing. . back in my day a batter had to watch closer to see the ball. They weren't forever tossing out a new ome every time the cover got seuffed a little. That dark pellet was hard to see”. Young Jim, who won 10 and lost 16 with Boston last year, looks for the Indians to win the pennant next season “You have Bob Feller and may- be five other pitchers”, he figures. ‘and if each of the five others wins ten games and Feller gets his average, vou have better than 78 games. And some of us ought to do better than 10 games” “they SHOW RUNTS POPULAR FIGURES ON REDLEGS — (By Associated Press) CINCINNATI, Jan. 10.--The sac- .

On the comeback trail for cage honors, the Pipe-Fitters have been playing bang-up ball, run- ning their victory string to three straight games. They began they upward climb against the defend- ing champs, Lions Club cagers, just before the holidays and con- tinued their winning ways W- nesday night with a close 46-45 triumph over the High School varsity players, Tonight they will be meeting the strongest club of the league— U.S. Marines, After a shaky start, the Leathernecks brushed aside all opposition and are now sitting comfortably on top of the heap. Sparked by the dependable trio of Sollenberger, MsGregor and Laney, the Leathernecks practically “breezed” their way to the leadership. William “Butch” Cates, who scored 26 points against the Students Wed- nesday night, and Jackie Car- bonell are the mainstays of the Peppers. Both clubs are good on the of- fense and defense. Outcome of the game will depend on the proper use of deceptive plays. Second-place U.S. Army and the High School five will get to- gether in the second contest of the evening. Soldiers are striv- ing to overtake the Marines and predict they will tie the leaders tonight. This will be acecomplish- ed if the Doughboys down the Students and the Leathernecks lose to the Peppers. Opening battle will get under way at 7:00 o'clock.

CREATE INTEREST IN SPORTS EVENTS THREE CLUBS WILL ENTER BENEFIT SOFTBALL SERIES Interest created by the an- nouncement in The Citizen yes- terday of plans for sports events to raise funds in the fight against infantile paralysis has been very gratifying, reports Pedro Aguilar, in charge of arrangements for the drive in Key West. Immediately after The Citizen was distributed yesterday, a rep- resentative of the Marine Corps contacted Mr. Aguilar to express! the willingness of ‘that service! unit to co-operate. Marin-s, leading the local basketball league, desire to give of their services in an exhibition game or games for this worthy cause. Coach Johnny Offutt announc- ed last night that he is awaiting word from Grantland Rice, chair- man of the national Sports Coun- cil, before proceeding with defin- ite plans for basketball's part in the drive for funds. Mr. Offutt contemplates staging exhibition games among Key West teams some time during the latter part of the month. He is of the opin- jon that the expense of bringing an outside club here cancels ‘the plan advaneed by Mr. Aguilar. Three clubs will enter the soft- ball series that will be played the week preceding the President's birthday. It was announced yes- terday that the Plumbers and Barbers would engage in a three- game series. Last night it was decided to incorporate the Nav- Sta ten im the softball plans. Tentative dates of conflict with regular basketball game nights and will have to be changed. Mr. Aguilar states. ‘urther discussion of the plans will be entered into next week. other day, but in the same breath revealed he had received “several offers” for the 1943 season.
