t True t Detective Stories ? i NUMBER 2695 X X v Copyright by Th® Wh««l«r ayndioal**. B> c WHEN Policeman William Lawrence ot Bath, Me., was found In n dying condition —a bullet having drilled a hole through his lung —lt was only natural thut Dennis Tracey should take up the trail of the murderers. Tracey was Lawrence's closest friend on the force. No one knew anything about th 1 circumstances which led up to the crime, and, apparently, tlh're was little hope of discovering any clue, because Lawrence, though not dead when discovered on the following morning, was extremely weak from exposure and loss of blood. According to the physicians, It was pnictlcully acer talnty that he would die without recovering consciousness. After leaving orders ut the hospital that lie was io be notified at once if his friend showed signs of being able to talk, Tracey visited the scene of the shooting in the hope of being able t<' find footprints or other evidence which would assist him In the search which lie intended to make. Tlie investign lion, however, was entirely fruitless The (lying policeman's revolver had been tired three times, but without effect —for Tracey found the bullets j lodged in the rafters of a nearby ware I house, sufficiently close together to provide a hazy outline of the place from which Lawrence's assailant must have fired. So fnr as Tracey was able to reconstruct the affair, I-nwretiee had come upon some one trying to break into the warehouse, had pr» >ably warned him by a shot over bls head and followed that by two other shots which failed to take effect. The burg lar had then turned and fired point blank at the policeman, dropping him where he stood. Rut who was the other man? This was the question to which Tracey determined to devote as much time as necessary, the problem withi out a clue. It was late the following night be fore Lawrence's condition showed any signs of change, and then only for the worse. The physicians gave him only I a few hours to live, and Tracey hung continually over the bed. hoping for ' some word or sign which would provide an indication of the murderer's Identity. Finally it camo. With an almost superhuman effort the dying officer raised himself on omelbow, and gathering every ounce o his fast-failing energy, whispered tie single word: “Wil-kln-son I” Then he fell back, dead. But that last word was enough. Had it not been Tracey who heard it. It would have meant nothing—for the two officers had been secretly workln ■ on a number of recent warehouse, burglaries ami they alone knew of the suspected connection of Daniel Wil kinson. son of a prominent New Hamp shire family, with the one-mnn thefts Now Tracey knew that not only was 'Wilkinson guilty of the burglaries, bin of a fnr greater crime—the murder oi Policeman Utwrence. Putting himself in tiie place of tlie criminal. Tracey felt certain that tin latter would not remain in or aroumL Bath. He must have known that Lawrence had recognized him. and would fear that the would find some way of Impti’ting this know ledge? It was probable, therefore, that Inwould head for some hiding-place where he would he comparatively safe. Knowing that Wilkinson's family. In an effort to whiten the character of the black sheep, had sent him to sea a number of years before. Tracey thought it likely that the fugitive would attempt to join the crew of a sailing vessel and lose himself In a foreign port. Ho accordingly warned the authorities of all the New Eng land sea ports to be on the watch for a man of Wilkinson's description, and then, securing leave of absence, be took tip the search—combing the waterfronts of every city and town from tlie Canadian border to Boston, I It was nearly six mouths later, as ter be had almost abandoned hope. I that Tracey . wandered along the wharves at Bangor and spotted the ninn he wanted “porting” lumber into tlie schooner Good Intent, at tlie foot of the Railroad street wharf. Without a sound tlie pijleeman edged his way along the dock until he was behind Wilkinson, and then dropped on top of his man, flattening him to the deck. Almost before he knew what had happened the fugitive found himself handcuffed and on his way back to Bath, there to be convicted of the murder of William Lawrence, after one of the hardest-fought legal battles In the history of the state. Tlie fact that, in the shadow of the state prison wall at Thomaston, there' stands today a headstone hearing tlie numerals “2695,” floes not close the i case, fnr there are many who claim that the murderer had powerful friends who succeeded in saving him from the gallows and helped spirit him out of the country Into the Canadian Northwest. But Tracey, who is now house detective at a big Florida hotel, considers that he fulfilled his obligations I to his dead friend, when, after months j of patient searching, he located the I man who was responsible for Lewi rence's death and produced the evij denee which led to bis conviction. “Maybe Wilkinson is still alive," ! says Tracey, "but the soul of Bill Lawrence and my con«cfen'’e are both at pence.”
