CHAPTER FORTY-THREE SILENCE fell upon the room. The brother of Christine Quires drew a cigar from his pocket and abstractedly lit it. He did not realize how plausible his theory was beginning to appear. To us who had waded through so much mystification in the last twenty-four hours his accusation seemed something more than mere guess-play. In my own mind, as I reviewed our past findings, the links began to appear. Yet how had Guy Everett managed to kill both Lola and Christine? Granted that he had ample motive, where was his opportunity? True, we did not know his movements between certain highly critical and important hours. But Lola had died, practically before our eyes. Christine's body had been smuggled into the apartment, against our police guard. Where was Everett then? Until these riddles were answered we were no better off than when we started. “May 1 see the body of my sister?” asked Edgar Quires, rising as if he understood that his interrogation was ended. Colt rose with him. “You will be notified when you may claim her,” the chief answered. “You see. the medical examiner has not yet brought in his complete report. But that is only a formality. You will hear from us tomorrow—if you will leave your address." “I shall be stopping at the McAlpin. Old-fashioned, but we always go there. Good-night, Mr. Colt. I want you to know that I shall not rest until the murderers of my sister go to the electric chair.” “Thank you, Mr. Quires. I would like you to be at the pent-house of Lola Carewe when I call you. You will be notified!’' Thatcher Colt and Edgar Quires shook hands. Then, with his hand laid tenderly on the arm of his wife, the brother of the murdered Christine departed. As the door closed, the Police Commissioner pressed a button. And thus it was that two plainclothes men were set on the trail of Mr and Mrs. Edgar Quires, while Colt and Dougherty once more put their heads together for new plans and fresh devices. Dougherty took the lead in the discussion. “I do not see.” he began, “where your Paris background, what we might call the Basil Boucher motif. fits in with the newest developments. Vincent Rowland had a good motive for killing these three people If he has been involved in crooked dealings, his high position, coupled with the known force and resourcefulness of the man. make the theory quite attractive. What a job it would be to try Vincent Rowland for two murders!” “You would try them only one at a time,” Colt corrected the District Attorney with a smile. “Need we be technical?” chuckled Dougherty, running a thick hand through his mop of red curls. “On the other hand. Guy Everett seems to be an emotionally unstable person who might have done it through some insane motive of revenge. I believe the case has narrowed down to theae two.”

MINERS HALTED AT DIXIE BEE I CONTINUED FROM VAGI? ONE The announcement followed a con- I ference with Governor Leslie, I subsequent to which mine operat- i ors said the truce was off. They: referred to the truce effected by : the governor, which disbanded the picketers and sent the weary i miners safely home. : As the situation stood today, not a mine in the field was in op-| eration, but two were on the verge, of re-opening on a non union basis, with portended almost inevitable resumption of hostilities, with violence imminent. c Get the Habit — Trade at Home

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, JULY 29,1932,

Two plain-clothes men were set on the trail of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Quires.

Colt nodded philosophically. “Perhaps,” he commented. “But there remain certain obstacles to ■ both theories. As a matter of fact, there remain other obstacles to any theory until we break through one physical barrier. Where was Christine Quires between the time she | got out of the elevator and the time ‘ we found her dead? Until we get i over that hurdle, everything else , stands still.” “That’s a tough one," agreed the District Attorney. "I have been racking my brains ever since last night, and I confess that for hours on end I couldn’t get within an inch of the problem,” went on Colt. “But tonight I expect to solve it” “Tonight?” “Yes. Dougherty. In a little while, you, Tony and I are going back to that pent-house. And we are not coming out of it until this mystery is solved.” “Great!" approved Dougherty. "But in the meantime there are a few questions ” The telephone rang. Inspector Flynn was speaking from his oflice downstairs. A few reports had come in which were of interest in the Carewe-Quires murders. The clerk who had been on duty in the lobby of the apartment house had at last | been located He had been on a I beach-house party in Dea). New i Jersey, but was now being quesI tioned by the police. He did rej member the letter which Lola had found in her box — the letter of warning which had drawn us into the case When asked how the letter had been delivered to the desk, he replied that he did not know. He had been called te the telephone

for a moment. When he returned, the letter was lying on the desk blotter. There was no one in sighL He had not thought this very significant and had merely put the letter back into the box. Further, Flynn went on to report, the autopsies were completed, and Doctor Multooler had signed documents releasing the remains to the family. Told about Edgar Quires, he promised to arrange with the brother for the claiming of Christine. From these details, Flynn passed to a recital of the work on various trails. Vineent Rowiand had been under complete observation all day. Nothing suspicious had devel oped. Late in the afternoon he hao called at the pent-house and inquired as to the health of Mrs. Carewe. The old man looked haggard and shaken at the events in which he had been entangled. From there he had gone to the Union League Club where he remained up to the last report. Guy Everett nad gone to bed and was still in bed, in his room at the Axton Club. lie had left word not to be disturbed. Colt thanked and dismissed Inspeetoi Flynn. “Don’t you think we ought to get Rowland and Everett down here and have it out?” again urged Dougherty. But Colt remained adamant “Not here,” he insisted “But I iam hoping that I will have a sim I pier plan. Let's be going” And thirty minutes later we found ourselves back in the apartment that had been the home of Lola Carewg. (To Re Continued) Copyright Wl, by Covi.-i Friede.
