"TTie Cold Hnger Curse” A by EDWIN DIAL TORwGEPwSON

bl ■ ' Illi 111 II rr» ■■■' 11 '■ SYNOPSIS Wealthy Violet Elderbank, a new-comer to Greenwich Village, gives a house-warming and invites her neighbors, June and Jimmy Kirkland and their roomers St. Gregory Valcour, pseudo artist, dignified Douglas W. Coultney, a statistical expert and Glenn Thurber, newspaper reporter; Roger Duane,a specialty dancer,and Marjorie Clarken. Glenn's fiancee, are also guests. Mrs. Elderbank’s husband, Charles, twenty years her senior, lives in Canada. Long ago he gave up trying to keep pace with his gay wife. Unknown to Violet, her handsome companion and secretary, Price Merriam, is also in the employ of her husband. Because of his wife's penchant for wearing a fortune in jewels, Elderbank hired Merriam as her bodyguard and then arranged for Violet to meet him. At the party, Marjorie has a premonition of tragedy. She is suspicious of Cuppies, the ' surly butler, whom she saw talking ' to a man hidden in a doorway ' across the street. Roger is to do , a Zulu dance. In preparation for < it, the house lights are extin- , guished. Merriam floods the room with an eerie green spotlight and goes outside to see if Roger is ready. Drums begin to boom. Just then Cuppies informs Violet she is ■ wanted on the private telephone in , her bedroom. Glenn has disap- , peared. Merriam returns and the dance starts. Suddenly a blood- < curdling shriek rends the air. Rushing outside, they find Elsie, the maid, shuddering with fear. “It’s Mis’ Vi’letl” she cries. “She’s dead!” Violet had been gagged , and chloroformed and her jewels— ( worth over eight hundred thousand , dollars — stolen. The victim’s clothes closet had also been rifled. i The police are puezled by the appearance of cold cream on Violet’s , hands. Merriam is questioned and , claims he saw Violet going up to answer the phone when he went to ( see if Roger was ready. He then t went to the kitchen to look after • the refreshments. Merriam states | the kitchen was empty although j Elsie, the maid, swore site was ] there when Mrs. Elderbank’s tele- ( phone rang. At the time of the crime, Valcour had gone next door , to get some paintings to show Mrs. < Elderbank and Thurber had also gone over to telephone his office. Checking up on the trap door lead- ] ing to the roof of the Kirkman j house, the police learn that Thur- j ber had used it a few days ago when he put up a radio aerial. Sergeant Darden next calls Cuppies. ] CHAPTER XII , “Who was it called on the telephone? Did you ask?” j “Yes, sir. I did. They said it was the telegraph office, and they f had a message from Montreal for ( Mrs. Eldcrbank.” < “Which telegraph office?” , “Why. they didn't say. I did not ask. I really don't remember that, ; sir.” ( “Did you offer to tare the mes- | sage?” | “No, sir. I did that once, and . Mrs. Elderbank told me she pre- , ferred to take her own telegrams.” ' “That is correct,” said Price Mer- ] riam as the Sergeant glanced at him inquiringly. “So you went downstairs immediately and told Mrs. Elderbank there was a call from the telegraph office?” Darden resumed. “Yes, sir.” “Were you in the habit of answering phone calls on Mrs. Elderbank’s private wire?” “No, sir, I was not,” replied Cuppies testily. “It was the maid’s business to do that. But the phone kept ringing and I couldn’t find her.” “She was not in the kitchen mixing drinks?” “No, sir.” “Did you go there to see?” “Yes, sir.” “And she was evidently not upstairs?” “Evidently not, sir, or she would have answered the telephone.” “You have no idea, then, where she was?” “No, sir,” said Cuppies maliciously, “unless she was outside talking to a colored man who comes around.” “What colored man?” “I don't know. He has been here two or three times.” There was a discreet rap at the door, followed by the appearance of Detective Mabry’s head. “Want to see roe. Sergeant?” he asked.

“No. Wait a minute—yes. Anything on that phone call? Was it from one of the telegraph offices. “No. sir, it was not. But there was a call on the lady’s phone at twelve-twenty-one from Sheridan < two-one-nine-four-seven. That num- ’ ber’s at the house next door. It s < listed in the name of Thurber— I Glenn Thurber." “Come in, Mabry,” ordered the < Sergeant peremptorily, and added to Merriam: “It looks as though . our friend the newspaper man had i business with somebody besides the : Amalgamated Press.” “Great heavens!” exclaimed Merriam. "I can't believe that chap t would be capable of such a thing. ’ i “They were dead sure about it, i Mabry?” demanded the Sergeant. “Dead sure. Can't be any mis- < take. The call recorded itself on the j automatic register at the exchange. You’ve seen the board—it clicks up I every completed call, and the auditors work from that in making f out bills. If the phone just rinps 1 and isn't answered, it doesn’t register, but the minute the receiver r comes off the hook there’s a record t made of the call. They photograph I the board—they don’t even trust x clerks to take down the number right—they take a picture of it so c if anybody raises a howl about be- s ing billed for too many phone calls, j there’s the automatic register to - show the record.” “Any operator listen in on this call to-night, by any chance?” v “No. Just a routine connection. But you’ve got the goods on Thurber in black and white.” “And Mr. Thurber such a nice- t appearing gentleman, too!” exclaimed Cuppies. “It just goes to c show—” “Did you recognize his voice?” f interrupted Darden. “Why, no, sir. But you see I .1 was scarcely familiar with his voice.” “Mabry, take that fellow in,” 1 ordered the Sergeant. “I want to talk to him before you leave, though, c Take him upstairs to Captain No- t bley right now and get him finger- e printed. Tell Nobley I’d like for v him to look over that ladder and I trap door to the roof next door, too.” “He was one of the gentlemen who i was in a hurry to get away, too,” f said Cuppies sympathetically. s “Thurber was?” I “Yes, sir, he said the lady he had s brought io the party had to go, and I he wanted to take her home. She 1 lives in East Sixty-Third Street.” 1 “What’s her name?” x “Miss Clarken, I believe. Miss I Marjorie Clarken." “Clarken? Hm! Those people 1 have scads of money, haven’t they?” “I believe so. yes, sir. I should t judge so,” “Yeah. Now, Cuppies—about this colored man you said had been 1 coming around here—could you de- 1 scribe him; would you know him if you saw him?” 1 Cuppies shook his head. “I’m t afraid not, sir. I’ve had a glimpse of him twice, that’s all. Each time 1 they were standing in the areaway under the stoop out front—there’s 1 an iron grille gate, you might have 1 noticed, the tradesmen’s entrance. 1 We keep this gate locked at night, but open during the day.” 1 “It's locked now. If anybody got i in through there to-night somebody 1 let ’em in.” “Yes, sir. Well, when I saw the ‘ maid Seever and this man the other ' day they were standing inside the open gate, under the stoop. I told ' her she had no right to have her i friends coming around like that, i She said it was business, but none 1 of mine.” i “I’ll make it mine,” promised tl\e ' Sergeant. “Cuppies—" He eyed ' the butler sternly as he paused. “Yes, sir?" ( “Who turned out the light to- ] night, in order to give this dancer , Duane a chance to s lin in and hide • in the library fireplace?” Cuppies answered readily and candidly: “Why, I did, sir. That is to say, both Mr. Merriam and I did. You sec, the arrangement was that I was to put out the hall light, then Mr. Merriam was to switch off his floodlight and spotlight in the library. But I noticed there was still a light on in the top floor hall, and I thought at the last minute I had better step downstairs and switch off all lights in the house. I left them off only a minute, sir.” Darden considered this quietly. “All right. Cuppies. When you go out send that colored girl in to me. And tell Detective Mabry I want to talk to this man Thurber when I gel through with the maid—also

this Mias Clarken he seems to be running with. 1 "Yes, eir.” . . The colored maid was not so violently agitated under the second questioning as she had been previously in the bedroom of her murdered mistress. She was not controlled however, to the point of composure. She sat twisting the ruffled hem of her apron as Darden fired queries at her. “Who is this man,” demanded the Sergeant harshly, “who came around to the house to sec you tonight?” Elsie gave a start of surprise. I “Wasn’t no man!” she declared with overdone vehemence. “Wasn’t no man come around to see me tonight” “Don’t lie to me!” shouted Darden. “I’ve got a witness who saw you let him in.” “Cuppies telling lies on me again/’ cried Elsie. “Who was the man? Come clean, now, or by heavens you’ll go for a ride and something worse!” Elsie repeated her vociferous denials, but gradually weakened under the verbal assaults of the detective. Presently she burst into tears and wailed out the truth: “It was Johnny Hankins —but he didn’t do nothing wrong, mister. I swear to the Lawd he didn’t. He , just come to see me a minute about —about something.” “Who is Johnny Hankins?” “Jus’ a friend of mine—hardworking, honest boy.” “What does he do?” "Drives a truck for Lacy’s." “Delivers things half-past twelve at night, does he?” “Naw, sir. He just happen' to be down this way.” “What did he want to see you for?” “I just give him some—some money. Five dollars.” “Where does he live?” “Hundred Thirty-Second Street. Twenty-six West.” Darden stepped to the door and called Detective Samuels. "Go get this fellow,” he ordered after brief explanations. “Search the place where he lives. Check his alibi—il he’s got one." The Sergeant continued questioning the negro maid but eould wring from her no further admissions. She stoutly affirmed that Johnny Hankins had come to see her only for a short time; that she had talked to him in the areaway under the stoop for perhaps three or four minutes, and he had gone peaceably on his way after he had extracted from her the loan of five dollars. “What time was it when he left?” asked Darden. “ 'Bout a quarter, twenty minutes after twelve. I ain’t sure.” “Where was he going?" “Going home, he said. I spec’ be I was going to shoot craps, though. | mister, if you ask me.” “All right. You stick to this house. Don’t attempt to leave it. understand?” “Y-yes, sir,” quavered Elsie, and left the room with terrified alacrity, Glenn Thurber, the next sum moned, seemed puzzled and amused when ushered in by the grim Detective Mabry. “What's the big commotion. Sergeant?” he asked of Darden. “What is there I can tell you about this business?” “A lot,” replied Darden curtly. “Where were you when this woman was killed?” “Why, I don’t know precisely when it occurred, Sergeant, but from what I’ve heard the others say it must have been while I was next door. I missed Roger Duane's dance because I suddenly thought of something I had to telephone my office about.” “Yeah? Just what was that?” “Why, it was some advance matter that I had written, and the release for publication had to be sent out to the newspapers to-night by telegraph. That was all.” “Yeah? Didn’t take you long to telephone, eh?” “Oh, no, just a couple of minutes.” “And you came right back?” “No. I found I was out of cigarettes, and I went to the cigar store at the Seventh Avenue corner and bought some. I was just coming in the front door of this house when the colored girl began screaming about somebody being murdered.” “Yeah? Why did you have to go next door to telephone? Why couldn’t you use one of the phones in this house?” “I couldn’t have heard anything. Sergeant—the noise was terrific.” (To Be Continued) Cepyrizbt. tSI«, br Edsln D Turtnma Dittributed by Klnf Fulurn Syudiett*. Im.
