’HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" by MAXINE CANTY

SYNOPSIS Julie Martin, she’s all of 17, is relating what happened after her French teacher, pretty Constance (Connie) Sinclair, was found shot dead at a desk in her (Miss Sinclair's) apartment. Julie has startled her mother and interests her father, a lawyer, by telling that she and her boy friend, Dicky Ward, had visited the apartment the previous afternoon, a few hours before the murder. She had returned a fountain pen which she had borrowed from Miss Sinclair. Newspaper reports make known that the teacher was slain about 10 o'clock that night. The police went to the apartment upon receipt of a mysterious telephone call informing them that Miss Sinclair had been slain. Julie's young brother, Allen, also a high school pupil, leaves the breakfast table soon after the family starts discussing the tragic news. At the school later. Police Inspector O’Brien questions Julie concerning the return of the pen, basing his inquiry on notes made during an earlier examination of Mrs. Sardoni who conducted the apartment house tenanted by the slain teacher. Julie tells the Inspector that she talked with Miss Sinclair about a book. Principal Perkins remarks that he found the book on the teacher's school desk that morning and gets permission to return it to the rental store. Melvin Wright, “the school’s problem boy" and the last known caller on Miss Sinclair, is grilled in secret . . . the evening papers feature the victim's last letter, addressed to a "Dear George.” who evidently was married . . . then come extras with the news that Hym, Filipino janitor of the apartment house, had vanished the night of the murder! That development was obscured temporarily by news that the police had found on Melvin a gan of the same calibre of that of the murder weapon. The victim's father arrived, inquiring for one Bruce Lloyd, described as the late "Connie’s” fiance. Lloyd appeared for police examination, said the engagement in question had been broken, refused to answer queries concerning the missing "George." and declared he “could not say” where he was on October 20, the night of the murder. Julie continues her story: CHAPTER V Things were certainly happening fast; it had reached the point where a new sensation a dav was expected. We would have felt cheated if we hadn’t had it The papers ran nothing new for the next few editions, but when my father came home for dinner, our family, at least, got its daily thrill. Dad had been retained by Bruce Lloyd as his lawyer! I guess I have forgotten up to now to say much about my own family as they weren’t important But how important we became later! My father was an attorney, a prominent one, I suppose you might say, and when the police started questioning Mr. Lloyd so closely, he demanded a lawyer. Dad was the one called, and he managed to get him released. “It was hard work, though,” he. said. “The officials are pressing the thiny pretty close. But so many r.re involved, it is hard for them to hold individuals when they haven't anything actually on them.’’ “What about Melvin?” I asked. “Well, they apparently can’t move anything very definite on him. But they are holding him on carrying a gun. He hasn’t got a lawyer yet. and they can keep him for a whHv.” "Do you think he did it?” “Julie, eat your supper,” admonished Mother. “I’d like to know, Curly. He might have, you know. Hn ha« a nasty disposition evidently, his record is none too good, and he had a motive in her reporting him first and refusing to sign his parole later. Most important of ail, he had the gun.” "Circumstantial, all of it,'* war. Allen’s first comment. “Yes. But men have been convicted on ksa.” "Jhiftnes, I d>’ wish it were not necessary to discuss these d< tai's!’' j exclaimed Mother Dad smiled at! her. "What about Hym? Have they, any trace of him?”

no J. Neuenschwander. 5 petition was filed by the guard-, ian, Nora V Fluagh, for hl* ward. Clark Flaugh, for authority to ay bllU. It was submitted and sustained. The guardian was authorized to pay *69 86. Case Set For Trial The suit for the collection of an account brought by the Orhon Stove company against the Schaler company was set for trial January 7. A hearing on Friday 13 in the Adtnu circuit coutt 'i«s been set in :he insanity proceeding a for R. B. Johnson. The application for an inquest was filed by Louis J. Koenig.

“None, as yet It seems,” answered Dad with an apologetic look toward Mother, “that he and Miss Sinclair were not on very good terms. She h:»d once protested his familiarity in not only speaking to her on the street, but walking along with her until she reproved him. “Who told that?” “Mrs. Sardoni. Miss Sinclair reported it to her; she gave Hym quite a scolding. The Filipino then apologized, but he evidently resented the insult to his race and pride. He was very rude to the teacher again, and Mrs. Sardoni had given him notice to leave at the end of the month. So you see, another motive is established, and substantiated by his

strange disappearance that night.” “Did he speak like an American?” asked Allen. "I don’t know. You are probably thinking of the phone call. The police are puzzled by that. An ordinary murderer would not set them on his trail so soon in that fashion, at least he wouldn't take the chance of doing so. They feel, moreover, that Hym could not have been the man who made it. I don’t know whether he speaks as an Oriental does or not, but the voice was that of a young man, excited, but weilmoduiated.” “Mother,” said Allen, “I have some work to Fo. May I be excused?" After he had gone. Mother scolded Dad again. “There, you see! The boy couldn't finish his dinner. He is so nervous and all this talk of murder of a woman he. was very fond of is too much fnr him.” Dad shrugged his shoulders and devoted his attention to his food. I knew he was not through, that he knew mere. Mother knew it too, and although she has ideas on bringing up children, her curiosity is very human. Tn a few minutes she said, "Is this Mr. Lloyd as handsome as his pictures?” “Quite,” said Dad. “Has he talked yet?” "No. He is a very fine young man, you would think to look at him. His tv’.u •. tion in the city is excellent His family live in the East and are people of some means. He seems to have been genuinely igi-ievid by the girl’s death. But he is very stubborn and very firm about revealing his relationship to her or his whereabouts tha’ night. He will I not talk even to me. It looks bad For him fi%m that angle. I had a I hard time getting him off, and I’ll . have to produce him w henever he is I wanted.”

' >, .<> rather risky? Are you sure of his inaocjr.ee?” "Os course not. Mother. But I’m gambling on it." “Is there anything new on ’George’?” I asked. "Well, yes. At least, Mr. Sinclair, who is leaving with the body tonight and will return later, has told the police of a man named George Carrington to whom Miss Sinclair waa once engaged. They are looking him up now?’ When we left the table, I had a lot to think abouL Most of all I think I dwelt on Connie, trying to realize she was the "body” travelling north tonight. All that youth and gaiety and prettiness shut up

in a coffin, gone forever. Wbo had wiped them out like that? I managed to shake off those morbid thoughts by turning to the persons involved. Naturally Bruce Lloyd was the most fascinating. I would like to have known about his romance with Connie. What a wonderful lover he would have made! I rather wished Dicky were taller, that he didn't wear glasses, and tnat his hair had some kind of color. In the back of my mind, however, were some practical problems. What puzzled me more than the telephone call was the question of what had become of the pen. I remembered so well, my handing it to Connie and thanking her. I could see the tableau perfectly. The late afternoon sun came in through pale green curtains and brightened her head to a brilliant red. She leaned against a table with some pale yellow roses on it in a green vase. She had a book in one hand and the pen in the other. Dicky was standing by the door, and I was perched on th*- arm of a chart', when the other two teachers knocked. They did not come in, but they asked her to the movie, and looked at Dicky and me disapprovingly. As Connie said no and talked about the letters, she replaced the book on the table and flourished the pen. That picture and the image of Mis. Sardoni’s handwriting were the things I went to sleep thinking about. Where had I seen writing of that spider-web variety before? That same pale green paj>er, the same finely drawn lines tracing "Anna” below four other words that blurred, composed a second picture in my memory. I felt that in those two pictures were important clues to the mystery. If I could only find them! (To Be Continued) Copyright. 1*33, King SmdieaU. Ine.
