He described the firm's operation as a ‘‘sell and switch” scheme. ‘Customers were solicited over the phone," he explained. “Stock was purchased for them and the customers were kept so far in debt that they were forced to sell their stock and switch to another.” The safe in the Mann and Co., office here was broken open in the presence of Overly and an employe of the state securities commission but no securities or stock purchase books were found.

CHAPTER XXXIII It was only as we puffed out of • the station, with the first obstacle ) surmounted, that I began to Con- , sider what I would do in New York. Assuming that the woman who had come to visit Vai) was his wife, and went to his sister’s apartment, how would I persuade her to return to Sherwood Forest with me? My trip suddenly began to appear like the most futile sort of wild goose chase. When I was with Mark, I could catch his enthusiasm and optimism. but now a feeling of helplessness and depression settled upon me. At that moment, the conductor arrived, and when I had bought my ticket, I realized that I was hungry and remembered that I had ’ had no breakfast I went into the i diner, resolving to think no more about my errand until I had eaten. Bacon and eggs, toast and black coffee were wonderful restoratives. When I returned to the coach. I felt much more confident. I still did not know just what I would do, but I felt that I could handle the situation when it arose. Two hours after I had boarded It. the train pulled into the dismal station at Weehawken. I took the ferry to Forty-second street and taxied to the address Mark had given me. It was a large, impressive apartment house, guarded by a tall Irish doorman. I took the elevator to the third floor and found Miss Vail’s apartment in the rear. A negro maid answered the bell. ‘‘ls Miss Vail in?” I asked. “No sir, Miss Vail’s out,” she said. I paused to consider for a moment and she began to close the door. “Do you expect her back today?” I asked. “No, sir, she’s out of town. You want to leave a message?” “Tell her Mr. Fowler called," I said. I stood for a minute in the hall as the door closed. I was disgusted with myself. I had planned to state the situation frankly to Vail’s sister, but I had failed entirely to take into account the fact that she might be out. The woman might have been there and left, for all I knew. There seemed to be nothing to do but wait. I walked down the hall to the stairway and opened the door leading to it. Leaving it open slightly, I sat down on the top step. I had plenty of time for unpleasant reflections. My first reversal had shaken my confidence. I realized now that, if the woman did go to see Anne Vail, it would take a great deal of persuasion to make her go back to the sanatorium. I saw that I should have confided in Finn. The sheriff had the authority to force her to return. I had none. I went through a bad half an hour before I heard the elevator stop and the door open. Through the crack in the doorway, I saw a women pass me. My heart began to thump. The light was not very good, but even so I could see that her hair was a very light blond and that she wore a coat trimmed with some sort of black hair. She went down the hall and I heard her ring a bell. From my position I could not see her without putting my head out the doorway, but I heard her say, “I want to see Miss Vail.” The maid’s voice answered, “She ain’t in." “When do you expect her back?” the woman asked. ‘‘Tomorrow, maybe.” I heard the door close and the woman come down the hall. When she had passed me, I stepped quietly out from behind the door and followed her. My first glance convinced me that she was the woman whom the taxicab driver had taken to the sanatorium the day Vail was murdered. Her hair was a palpably spurious platinum blond, set in hard, metallic waves. She wore a small black hat and a black coat trimmed with long, black silky hair, i When she turned to ring for the elevator I saw her face—plump, highly rouged, with deep lines of selfishness and discontent running to the corners of her small mouth. She was short, and her neck and hips were fat. I looked at her with i a shock of disappointment. It ' seemed impossible that she could | be the pretty woman whose photographs Vail had kept hidden in his • room. I The woman turned and gave me a quick, appraising glance as I approached. Her blue eyes were predatory and wary; they observed, but!

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, AtGVST3, W3L

loti county reHet offices. Ho was placed in charge of a tax survey project in Fort Way tie. Refuses Comment ‘ Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 3. —(U.R) —Otto W. Koenig, Allen county prosecutor, today refused to make 1 any statement regarding alleged i irregularities in the handling ot ) IffERA project accounts hero by A. J. Holt man. Fort Wayne supervls-

betrayed nothing. As the elevator 1 arrived ahd the door opened, I saw > that she carried a folded copy of -a tabloid, and all my doubts van- . ished. She must be the woman who I had visited Vail. , When we reached the street, I . touched her arm and said, “Pari don me, may I speak to you for a ' moment?" > She turned and looked at me with ■ suspicion written plainly on her ! face. “I believe you are interested in Seifert Vail,” I said. “So am I. I Perhaps we can help each other.” She continued to look at me until ■ I began to feel embarrassed. FinaL : ly she answered me. Her voice was . hard and metallic. “What makes you think I need ' any help?” she asked. “It will be worth your while to find out, anyway,” I said, smiling. “I can assure you of that. You may find It worth a good deal.” For just a moment her eyes narrowed calculatingly. “Who are you?” she demanded. “My name is Fowler." I said. “Robert Fowler. I’ve come down from Sherwood Forest—” I could see her recoil at the mention of the sanatorium. Instantly all her suspicion and hostility returned. “I have some information about Seifert Vail that you might be glad to know,” I said hastily. “I'm not interested in him.” she snapped. “I didn’t even know him. I’m a friend of his sister’s.” She turned away. “Just a moment, Mrs. Vail,” I said. She whirled on me, her face pale. “Or Miss Martin.” I added, “if you prefer to use ynur maiden name.” “If you don’t stop annoying me. I’ll call a policeman!” she said. “I don't know what you’re talking about, and I don’t want anything to do with you!” She walked hurriedly to a taxicab that stood at the curb. Cursing my clumsiness, I followed her. As the driver opened the door for her, I said, “Please listen to me for a mihute.” “That man’s annoying me!” she screamed at the driver. He started out of his seat, and the woman began to get into the cab. Then a heavy voice behind me said: “What’s all the trouble here?” I could have embraced Dave Finn then as I turned and saw him standing behind me. “Don't let her get away!” I cried. “She’s the woman who turned on the phonograph in Vail’s room. She’s his wife!” “Driver, will you please take me away from here?” the woman demanded. “Say, Mac.” the taxi driver said to the sheriff, “how do you get in on this?” Finn pulled back the lapel of his coat, revealing the badge pinned to his suspenders. “This is how I get in on it.” he said. He turned to me. “What’s this stuff about this woman bein’ Vail’s wife?” “Mrs. Vail is dead,” the woman said angrily. “I buried her myself a month ago!” “Wait a minute!” Finn said. He put his foot on the running board of the , taxi. “Somethin’ funny here! Vail said his wife died two years ago.” “I tell you she’s his wife,” I said. “I’m not accountable for what Vail told anyone,” the blond woman said. “Who are you, anyway? What right have you got to keep me here?” “Lady," Finn said, “I’m the sheriff of Jamison County, and I’m holdin’ you as a material witness to the murder of*Seifert Vail.” The woman covered her mouth with her hand to stifle a scream. She stared at the sheriff with frightened eyes. Finn grinned at her. “Give the driver your address, and well see. that you get home safe,” he said. He stepped into the cab. “Come on,” he said, and I followed him. The woman crowded into the far corner of the seat. “Where do you Jive?” Finn asked her. She did not answer. “Listen,” he said. “If you -want to go to Sherwood Forest right now, it’s all right with me, but I advise yon to go home and get some clothes. You may be up there a long time. Where do you live?” “The Hotel Hardy,” she answered. Finn gave the driver that address and we started away. “So you’re the one who started the phonograph in Vail’s room,” the sheriff said. “What were you doin’ there?” . I “I don't know what you’re talk-

s or. Evidence, obtained by field examiners at the request of William H. Hook, Indianapolis, director of Indiana relief, was placed in the 9 hands of Allen county officials this morning. e “I can make no statement as to il whether a case will be brought f agalfffft Holtman,” Koenig said, “un .. til I have had a chance to go over i-1 the reported facte.”

r Ing about," she snld. “1 won’t anr swer any questions.” f The sheriff looked at her for a - minute longer. “Maybe you’ll j change your mind,” he said. He turned to me. “What makes you I think she’s the woman?” “She answers the description i given me by the taxi driver who took her to the sanatorium from i Echoville,” I said. “And she must be r Vail's widow. If she weren't, I never would have found her. Look at i this.” . I took from my pocket the clip- ’ ping of the paragraph from the I Broadway gossip column. Finn read • it slowly, aloud, his forehead wrinj kling as he struggled to comprehend its strange jargon. I “Vail left some money, is that what it means?” he asked. > “Yes,” I said. “Mark put it in ths . paper because he was sure it was i Mrs. Vail who went to the sanatorium the day Vail was murdered. • He thought that if she read that, she • would go to see Vail’s sister to claim the money. It worked out just as he . expected. This woman went to Miss i Vail’s apartment, but Miss Vail was out She’s carrying the newspaper • with that paragraph in it Don’t you ’ see how it all fits together? She must be Mrs. Vail!” “What you got to say to that?” ; Finn asked her. She looked at him I coldly, with compressed lips, and then turned away. “Won’t talk, hunh? Why did you go to see Miss Vail ?” Still she refused to reply. Finn was annoyed. He turned to me angrily. “So you and Hillyer tried to put one over on me." he said. “You better watch your step! You’ll find yourself charged with obstructin’ justice if you ain't careful.” “Obstructing justice!” I answered indignantly. “Is that what you call it when Mark and I find an important witness for you?” “Suppose 1 hadn’t seen you take the train and followed you? This woman would have got away.” “I just barely had time to catch the train, or I certainly would have told you what I was doing,” I said. “I’m mighty glad you followed me. Really, Mark and I weren’t trying to put anything over on you.” The cab stopped in front of a shabby hotel in the theatrical district The blond woman, her chin in the air, swept into the hotel, with Finn behind her. I paid the fare and followed. The woman went to the desk and said to the clerk: “Will you please identify me for this—gentleman.” “Certainly, Miss Montague,” the clerk answered. “My name is Elaine Montague,” she said. She looked at the clerk and he said, “That’s right, sir, that’s the name.” Finn drew her off to one side of the lobby. “You may think that’s identification, Miss Montague,” he said, “but I don’t. Names are too easy to change. What I want to know is, why did you go to Miss Vail’s apartment when you read that piece in the paper?” “Since you seem determined to pry into my affairs," she answered. “I’m Francine Vail’s beneficiary. She died five weeks ago in France and left me everything she had.” “Well, what made you think that entitled you to anything Vail might have left?” “I guess 1 have as much right to it as his sister.” she said sullenly. Her explanation sounded completely incredible to me. I looked on skeptically, wondering what the sheriff would do next. “I’d like to take a look at your room." he said. “1 won’t permit it!” she answer :d angrily. “I’ve shown you I haven't got anything to do with this murder.” “You still got to show me you ain’t the woman who went to Sherwood , Forest to see Vail. You take me to your room, or I’ll arrest you and get a warrant to search it!” The defiance went out of Elaine Montague. Her face seemed tired and old as she turned without a word and led the way to the elevator. Her room was cluttered with eheap, gaudy knicknacks. Powder teas spilled over the bureau top, and it was covered with jars of cos- , metics. Clothing was strewn in disorder over the bed. The air was odorous of cheap perfume and stale cigarette smoke. Entering behind ' Miss Montague and the sheriff. I looked around me with distaste. (To Be Continued) Copyright. It3i.br Jnan Clayton and Malcolm tngen DfltrtbuUd by King Feature! Syndicate. Ine ,
