— —- -- — — ''MURDERniNIGHTCIUBIADy' THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY /-» by ANTHONY ABBOT r*% m T* > Thi| 7 ’ Y

SYNOPSIS Lola Car'we. night club habitue, receives a death threat. New Year’s Eve. Previously her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. District Attorney Merle K. Dougherty suspects Lc.la of being the “brains" of the jewel thief ring that has baffled the police. Although her husband. Gaylord Gifford, died practically penniless. Lola lives in luxury. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt places a guard in Lola's penthouse apartment, warning her that she must not be alone in a room at any time. Mrs. Casewe, Lola's mother; Chung the butler, Eunice the maid, and Vincent Rowland, an attorney, are present. In the living room, the Commissioner finds a bag belonging to Christine Quires, Lola’s guest. It evidently had been used that night, yet latla informs Colt that Christine is at the Lion's Paw, a roadhouse, where Lola was to have joined her. Colt is surprised to find Mrs. Carewe's room in strange contrast to the surrounding wealth. Lola’s own boudoir is a gaudy contradiction of the living room’s elegance. Lola refuses to reveal the identity of the young man whose photograph adorns her dresser. Against orders, she enters the guest room alone. A scream follows. Rushing in, Colt finds her on the floor, unconscious. Dr. Hugh Baldwin, a friend, diagnoses the case as a heart attack. Lola dies; Colt calls it murder. Unnoticed. he takes something from the doctor’s bag. Police Lieutenant Fallon reports that no one but the doctor entered the house. The elevator boy claims that Christine returned home about 12:15 a. m., before Lola and the police arrived, yet no other trace can be found of Miss Quires. Mrs. Carewe is questioned. She states she would have known it had Christine returned.

CHAPTER TWELVE ( ”TS Carewe your rtal name?” he 1 asked suddenly. She looked up at him in dark astonishment. “What makes you think ” 1 “Now Mrs. Carewe — will you tell me?” “Why not? My real name is Carewe. That was my maiden name.” ’ “And you come from—’’ “England. I married there. My j husband was a Roumanian living : in exile.” “Lola's father?” “Yes. He deserted us in Liver- 1 pool when he was allowed to go back -o his country. I have never 1 1 heard from him again. I hope to' heaven he fries in fire.” This last pious curse the old 1 woman uttered with a detached calm that struck me as quite fiend- < ish. 1 “Your husband’s name?” “Michael Jorga." “St your daughter's real name ’ is Lola Jorga?” “No. —Rosita Jorga.” 1 “How did you come to change i the name?” “Lola went on the stage. She 1 1 danced. We thought a new name; would help—and someone suggest- i ed Lola Carewe.” “And where was your daughter educated ?■’’ 1 “I worked to send her to public 1 schools — and private. How I : worked! 1 worked like a man!” With a shrug, Colt turned to de- 1 tails of more immediate interest. I “Now, tell me about tonight!” "Tonight?” I “Yes—or even earlier. How did you spend this afternoon?” < “1 went to see a vaudeville show I -at the Palace.” “And you got home ” “Around five o’clock Then I lay i down and took a nap.” "And from then on?” “That’s not hard to remember. We all had dinner here together— |

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1932.

(Christine and Lola and I. Then they dressed to go on their parties. Mr. ’ Rowland came for Lola and Mr. , Guy Everett came for Christine and they went out like they always ■do and left me here with the ser- , vants. I listened to the radio for a . while. I soon got tired of that. Then 1 I went into my room and began ' reading The New Atlantis —that’s r my favorite book. But first I read P the evening newspapers. Then 1 settled down to my book and forgot ’ everything else. And first thing I knew Lola came home with a horde ; of policemen.” “Do you like Christine?” “Yes — why not — but she is a ' nuisance. I don’t mean to be unkind about Ghristine—but I do get tire# ' of having her around here.” “Ever tell Lola that?” “Oh, yes. But she seemed to want to keep her right here. I ’ think they were planning some ' kind of business together.” Colt’s glance at my skipping pen- ' ci) seemed positively grateful. He ! knew that every nugget of information he unearthed was being' carefully stored for future study. “Do you consider all your ser--1 ‘vants above suspicion?” Dougherty ''then asked. “We have -only two. Eunice and Chung are both incompetents in ’ my opinion. My daughter insisted on retaining them. 1 am sure they ' are harmless. There was some giggling among the girls when they found some love poems addressed to Lola and Christine.” “Written by Chung?" “Yes—it was al! passed over as a joke.” “By the way—Christine’s escort' '■ this evening whs Guy Everett. You ; mean the actor?" “Yes.” “They left here together?” “Yes." “At what hour?” “About nine-thirty. They were

going to the Lion’s Paw.” “Were they in good spirits when I they left?” i “Absolutely.” I “Do you know where Guy Ever- i ett lives?” “Yes, at the Axton Club.” At a glance from Colt, I went to I the telephone. While he went on, 1 questioning Mrs. Carewe. 1 was i calling the Axton Club, which was • just around the corner. The opera- i tor there informed me that Mr. Guy 1 Everett was not in. I left word to have him telephone Lola Carewe I immediately he returned. Colt was still interrogating the 1 mother. 1 “Can you suggest any reason 1 why anyone should want to kill 1 Lola?” he asked. “I do not believe Lola was mur-i 1 dered,” the old woman retorted surprisingly, with a heavy sigh. 1 “Why not?” j "Who should wish to kill a beautiful girl like my Lola? Doctor ’ Baldwin says she had heart trouble.” p Colt made no attempt to argue. 1 I but again switched t« a different!' tack. “Mrs. Carewe,” he asked, alter- ji ing his voice to a confidential key. i “how old was Lola?” Colt put the question in the mild- 1 est and most indifferent of tones, i His careless manner contained no foresliadowing of a coming sudden : trust, his chief weapon in examina- I tion. j i “About thirty-five.” “Why did Lola quarrel with Basil?” Thia swift, jabbing thrust pro- 1 duced an electrifying effect upon 1 the aged woman. Her eyes lighted up. Her mouth opened wide. Her: hands clapped together. Unsteadily ' she rose to her feet. “Basil!" she croaked. “What do 1 you know about Basil?” In truth, Colt’s question had surprised me too. 1 had dismissed

i “I had covered approximately 2,800 miles when engine trouble developed at It a.m. After 29 hours l in the air. 1 couldn't find the ' trouble and decided I’d have to i la nd. | Between the time I decided to land, and the time I actually land-' ed, I saw 15 ships, br.t none of them me. "I landed between two waves. Due to the empty gas tanks, and j the buoyancy of the plane, it nosed

r from my mind the picture of that . laughing boy on Lola’s dressing- . table. But Thatcher Colt never for- ■ gets anything that seems signifii cant. * “Tell me the truth about Basil," l the chief insisted sternly. “The truth?” repeated the old woman quaveringly. “I do not understand " “What good will it do, Mrs. Carewe, to hide anything? We are bound to get the facts soonet or later.” “Basil is dead and that's all there is to it.” “How did he die?” asked Colt, without relaxing a muscle in his tense face. ‘ Mrs. Carewe closed her eyes. “What is Basil to us?” she asked in her husky, defiant voice. “Y'ou are afraid of Basil!” “No! No! No!” cried Mrs.- Carewe, wringing her hands. “Lola loved him!” countered Colt, his tone accusing. “Never!” cried the mother, beating her breast. Her excitement had " inexplicably increased at the question. Her voice now was shrill with rage. “No—she might, have said so, but she never meant it. That cruel beast! She never could have loved such a " Writhing and frothing at the mouth, Mrs. Carewe fell on the floor. The hawk like nose, the wispy gray hairs loose about her ears, I the wreathing gestures of her with- i ered hands gave her the appearance I of a witch. The unnatural energy of the hysteria made the impression all the more vivid and terrible. i Colt’s intuition was right —tn ' some way the mysterious Basil was a potent part of Lola’s past—important at least emotionally to both mother and daughter. •• Flynn and 1 carried the moaning ( old woman into her bedroom, where ; Doctor Baldwin and Dorothy Lox attended her.

This diversion gave us a moment j to learn of another interesting discovery—how significant we were not to realize, however, until Colt’s ' case was well advanced. Mackenzie was back—Detective Mackenzie whom Colt had sent to paw through the sleet and slush under the penthouse windows in quest of clues. From the ground he was now back with us. twenty-three flights in the air and his flushed face told us that 1 he had not returned empty-handed. “I never saw the likes of this before, Mr. Colt,” he gurgled, as he | laid what he had found in the Commissioner’s hands. It was a small, unpainted wooden box. with a sliding top which was splintered—'the thing had been cast down with 1 violent force—or else hurled from [some high place. His dark eyes luminous with the excitement of discovery, Thatcher Colt held up the box to the light. The interior was stuffed with cotton batting. Colt turned on us all the flash of a rogue’s smile. "Gentlemen.” he stipulated, “for L I the present let us agree not to menition this little discovery of ours—'it may prove to be of first-rate im- I poitance before we get through.” | Saying which, he found a sheet of wrapping paper in which he I sheathed the box with a care al- I most maternal in its tender soliei- ! tude. As Colt was thus engaged, I the door of the mother's bedroom I j was opened. With an air of finality, > Baldwin emerged with the decision that Mrs. Carewe was too ill for ! further questioning for at least an- ' other twenty-four hours. At this, Colt raised his brows. But he made no comment. Instead, as it would 1 probably be another ten minutes before the crowd from Headquarters arrived, he asked at once for Chung, the butler.
