The, area has been free the last few weeks of any serious auto mishaps, which is the way it should be. When we get careless on the streets and highways, we're flirting with tragedy. See Adams county, should be the by-word of all motorists of this area, who like to take Sunday afternoon drives this time of year. You'll be amazed at the beauty of everything and will see some interesting sites in every township. Plan to make some short visits to all parts of the count}’ this autumn. x ' o—o—- — weather is forecast for the next few days and maybe we’ll get a few last days of heat. Morning temperatures have been mighty close to the frost line. Some very lowlands have reported light frosts and there is no evidence according to forecasters of the approach of a heavy frost yet. 1 —o o— The stock market took a sudden drop this week, which doesn’t mean too much to the average citizen, except it is a criterion of what general business might do during the balance of the present administration. It was proved during the Hoover regime and is being proved again during the present reign that the Republican party, after it favors a few big businesses, is lost in a sea of in-, decision and indifference when dealing with the balance of the nation, which is the vast majority. The GOP becomes so involved with big business during each political campaign that it takes years to untangle itself and realie that it is the great mass of common people who make up our government. *• o <>■■«■■- Tfie Robinson-Basilio middle- ■ weight prize fight must have thrilled the 35,000 persons who attended equally as much as the radio description kept the millions of listeners on the edge of the#’chairs.

It is getting close to that time when if you don't have your automobile radiator checked and get a general winterizing, you’ll have to take the consequences. — — Church attendance here is showing a marked increase since vacations are Over and people are preparing for fall and winter. Church attendance here always has been good and each year finds more local people starting Sunday off with attendance at one of our Churches. \ 0 ■ O Congratulations to the city recreation board for its wisetom in selecting Richard Linn, fine Decatur young man, as director of the Youth and Community Center. Mr. Linn has been active for several years in the Boy Scout movement and other youth activities. He has been associated with Clarence Weber, in the operation of the Black Funeral home here. He is a native of Decatur and he knows our young peoples’ problems. Mr. Linn will resign his position at the funeral home and also as a recreation board member and will assume his new duties October 1. We are of the opinion that the board could have searched the world over and not found a better director. The young people of Decatur are indeed fortunate to have Mr. Linn as a director at the popular recreation center. o o ■ The death of Howard Gehrig, splendid Decatur young man, has saddened the Community. Howard, aged 34, was a top worker in General Electric Co. here, a Decatur high school graduate add a member of Zion Evangelical Reformed church and the Amerii can Legion. He was married and the father of two children and was popular among his wide group of friends and acquaintances. The Decatur young man became ill some time ago but the seriousness of his illness was not known until a few weeks ago. We extend all of the sympathy and condolence possible to Mrs. Gehrig, her children and to'Howard’s parents, which we realize is only a token grievance compared with his shocking loss to them. Death always grieves a community and doubly so when a young person is taken away. He has left an exemplary life, however, for his children and countless number of friends to pattern after.

CHAPTER 19

ISAID to Corning, "You probably have some things to do, and I want to visit with Mrs. Ralejgh for a while. If you want to go on, Til take a cab back.’’ He grinned, ‘Til stay right here, Lam. Tm not in any hurry at all, and I’d like to hear what Mrs. Raleigh has to say. After all, I’m interested in this, too, you know.” I said to Mrs. Raleigh, “You remember Sergeant Sellers, the officer who was here. Now, you remember when Sergeant Sellers and I were calling on Mrs. Wells just before we came to see you ?” “I don l t know what you’re talking about’’ “You mean you didn’t .see us' over there?” “I saw. you two over there, yes, but I don’t know whether you were over there talking with her or not I’m telling you once and for all, Mr. Lam, that I have too many other things to do than to keep an eye on my neighbors all the time." “That’s the spirit!" Corning said. “And furthermore, Mrs. Raleigh, if you’d like a little advice from a man who’s been around a bit if you’ve signed a statement under oath and given it to an attorney and haven’t a copy of what was in that statement, I’d be pretty careful about saying anything to anybody. After all, you might be contradicting yourself for all you know." ‘Tm not contradicting myself. I do wish I had a copy of what I signed, that’s all. However, I guess Mr. Corning’s right I’ve said everything Pm going to say.” 1 “Prominent people who are being interviewed have one stock expression when they don’t want to talk,” Corning said. “They just say, *No comment’ That’s something that can’t be misconstrued, twisted or distorted." Het sharp eyes took in his grinning countenance. She said, . “Well, now, that’s an idea; I was just trying to explain—” “Explanations can be twisted," Corning interrupted again. “Yes, I s’pose they can." I said, “I’m just trying to get things straight, Mrs. Raleigh. You remember telling me that you felt Drury Wells had murdered his wife?” “No comment." “Well, what did you tell Sergeant Sellers about that quar- , rel?” “No comment." ' Coming grinned. “That’s the spirit, Mrs. Raleigh. I don’t want ! to do anything that Would inconvenience Donald Lam here, but you could get in quite a mess over this thing. The lawyer is getting evidence for a lawsuit, is he?” _

Mrs. Virgil Sexton At Adams Central Mrs. Virgil Sexton, wife of Rev. Sexton, who is pastor of the First Methodist church in Decatur, has accepted a temporary position on the Adams Central high school staff. Mrs. Sexton will teach home economics classes until a permanent teacher is named. Rep. Adair Plans Tour Os District E. Ross Adair, representative in congress from the fourth district, which includes Adams county, will make his customary tour of the eight counties of his district Oct. 3-11, he said today. Rep. Adair will be at the court house here from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. Friday, Oct. 4. to talk with his constituents. Adair states that he wants "very much to meet personally with constituents to learn at first hand their views and problems.” He also wishes to exchange ideas on legislative' and governmental matters to be considered during the next session of congress. Rep. Adair's Fort Wayne office in room 310 of the Post office will, also be open during the congressional recess.

“I understand he’s filed suit for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars." “Well, well, well,” Coming said. “Under those circumstances, Mrs. Raleigh, I think it would be very poor policy for you to continue talking with Mr. Lam or with anybody else. You’d better just say, ’No comment,’ and let it go at that.” “You’re being a big help," I told Coming. He drew himself up. “I am trying to be absolutely scrupulously fair. I can see that Mrs. Raleigh doesn’t know much about her rights in the matter, and apparently has never stopped to consider the probable liabilities she may have incurred." “Liabilities?” Mrs. Raleigh demanded. “Liabilities I’ve incurred?” “Well, of course, it depends on what you said,” Coming told her, “but they could include you in that suit” “Well, they certainly have no reason to. I never said anything to anybody.” I started for the door. “I may see you again, Mrs. Raleigh.” Coming said, “Do you have a lawyer, Mrs. Raleigh?” "A lawyer?” she asked. “What on earth would I want with a lawyer ? Certainly not!” “I have a very good law firm here in the city that does some business for me,” Corning told her. “I’d be glad to speak to them in case you wanted a consultation.” “What do I want with any lawyer ? What do I want withi consultation?” “It might be a good idea. I’m quite certain that a lawyer would tell you not to talk to anybody, not to make any statements at all to anyone except in his presence.” “Well, I’m not going to any lawyer, but I’m hot making any statement I guess I’ve already talked enough.” “Okay,” I fold Corning, /let’s go. Perhaps 1 can do something for you sometime.” “Don’t mention it," he said. “The thing you could have done for me was something that you could have done two. days ago when you found Mrs. Wells was home. You didn’t notify me then. I suppose you were keeping the place under surveillance and waited until she’d left before you told me she’d been home.” “I tell you I was busy yesterday. I gave you the information as soon as I got back.” “You could have telephoned me.” “If you’ll remember it," I told him, “the employment had been terminated.” “That’s right” ha said. “The

employment had been terminated. Xou don’t owe me anything and L don’t owe you anything. But I fife feel obligated to Mrs. Raleigh here, because Mrs. Raleigh was viery friendly when I called and tilted with her. And if I were you, Mrs. Raleigh, I would just say, ‘No comment,’ to all questions that are asked you by anyone about the Wells case. 1 certainly know you never told me about any murder or any suspicion you might have had that a murder had been committed. You were really very closemouthed." “Thank you, Mr. Corning. Thank you very much!" “Not at all. I’m just telling Mr. Lam that my experience with I you certainly didn’t indicate that i you'd be inclined to gossip about , anyone, and I never heard you ! even intimate you had any idea a murder had been committed." i “Thank you, Mr. Coming. The more I think of it, the more I appreciate that you have my best interests at heart.” We got up and went out We both shook hands with her and told her how much we’d enjoyed , the visit / We got in Coming’s car. Corning started the motor and said, “Now then, you little runt, I , know why you were so nice to come and tell me about Mrs. Wells being home, and I know why you sat tight with the information and let the deal slip through my fingers. Now we’re even. You don’t owe me' anything, and I don’t owe you anything." I told him, “That’s not exactly correct.” "What’s wrong with it?” I said, “I owe you something, and I intend to see that you’re paid. . . . I’ll get out at the corner here and take the bus back.” He grinned at me and said, “You want to double back to Mrs. Raleigh and try to get that statement." He grinned again. “If you get out of this ear, it ’ won’t be at the bus stop. We’re going back to town by a differ-, ent way.” 1 settled back in the seat. There was nothing else to do. He didn’t say anything more until we reached his apartment hotel. Then he parked the car, opened the door and said, “You a detective!, You make me laugh!” I got out of the car. “You can die laughing,” 1 told him, and walked away. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something phony about the wedding ceremony,” Donald Is told.
