' • • A Parent’s Plea School has started in Decatur again, and Monday the first traffic accident involving a small child occurred. The six-year-old girl suffered a painful broken hip, and is a patient at the local hospital. A friend of ours dropped off the following letter, entitled “A Driver’s Plea” at the office this week. It is certainly worth reading. “Dear Driver: “A few weeks ago, I saw a little girl struck by a car as she tried to cross the street. I saw her father race toward her and hold her to him as she struggled in the agony of death. I saw 411 the plans that had been made for her dashed and 1 saw the look of despair that came over his face. I ,could only offer a prayer that such a thing might never happen again. “Today my daughter, who is 6 years old, started off to school. Her cocker spaniel, whose name is Scoot, watched her leave and whined his belief in the folly of education. “Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her, a girl with yellow curls, and about the boy across the aisle who makes faces; about the teacher who has eyes in the back of her head; about the trees in the school yard and the big girl who does not believe in Santa Claus. “We talked about a lot of things—tremendously vital and unimportant things. “Now, as this is written, she is sound asleep ~ with her doll “Paddy” in her arms. “When her doll gets broken or her finger gets cut or head gets bumped, I can fix them. But when . she starts across the street —then Mrs. Driver, she is in your hands. “Much as I wish I could, it’s .not possible for me to be with her all the time, yiave to work to pay for her home, her clothes, her education. “So, Mr. Driver, please help me to look out for I her. Please drive carefully. Please drive slowly past schools and at intersections. And please remember that sometimes children run from behind parked cars. “Please don’t run over my little girl! “With deepest thanks for whatever you can do for her, I am, « ** Very Sincerely Yours, 7 (Signed) Father

CHAPTER 35 IT WAS two-thirty when the po4fce cars slid up on the place at 9611 Sixty-first Street One detail went around to the back of the nouse, and Frank Sellers and Thad Giddings went to the front After they’d been ringing the doorbell for a couple of minutes, a light came on inside the bouse and somebody inside the door said, “Who is it?" ••Police,” Sellers said. “We have a search warrant Open up.” * You've got nothing on us,” the voice said. “Open the door or we’ll break It down,” Sr’ ers said. The door opened. The tall man was standing there in athletic underwear and he was big. He even loomed half a head above Sellers. Giddings pushed me forward. “Ever see this guy before?” Sellers asked, directing a flashlight on the top of the porch so that both of our features were illuminated in a bounce light “1 never saw the guy before in my life,” the big man said, “and I don't intend to be rousted out at this hour of the night to answer questions. You guys can go roll your hoops. I’m clean, s and—" “Who says you're clean?” Sellers interrupted. “Is this the guy, Donald?” “That's the guy," I said, with conviction. “1 never saw that little squirt in my life,” the big man protested. “Okay, Ferguson," Sellers told him. "we’re coming in. We’ve got a warrant. Who else is in here with you?" “No one." About that time there was a commotion at the back and one of the men who had been detailed to watch' the back door came In with a shorter individual who was wearing pants, shoes, coat and undershirt. He hadn’t even stopped to put on a shirt. “We caught this guy taking a sneak out the back,” the officer said. “Look what he had in his coat pocket” He held out a green jade Buddha with a flaming red ruby in the forehead. The big man tn the underwear cursed and tried to turn and run. Sellers clipped him and the guy went down hard. “Come on,” Sellers said, “move in. We're taking the joint to pieces." • • • My wrist watch said it was a 1 little after four. 1 called a taxi and went to a

popularize spiritual programs.” Formal installation of the newly elected diocesan officers will be conducted with evening devotions at the convention. A dance at St. Joseph's school auditorium will conclude the annual affair. o ——— q Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE I o —-—o Q. Is it all right for a young man to smoke his date's cigarettes ? ■ A. It might be all right, if he happens to be out of cigarettes himself, to smoke one or two of his girl's. But certainly not all evenin g.He must, as soon as possible, buy some fresh cigarettes for himself and his girl. Q. During a recent bereavement, we received flowers with a card reading, “Sympathy from your neighbors.” How can we acknowledge this? A. You can ask one of your neighbors who contributed, then thank each one individually for his thoughtfulness. Q. I am mailing out about 200 wedding invitations. Is it all right for me to use a metered stamp on the envelopes? A. Never! The stamps must be affixed by hand. Ironing Help A metal fork inserted under buttons permits ironing under them and keep the iron from coming in contact* with plastic buttons that I might be affected by the heat.

Turkish bath, managed to get my I clothes oft, wrap up in a sheet > and then limped down to the not room. It was a heavenly sensation to relax tn the warm air and feel my muscles slowly soaking up the warmth and giving up the pain. The attendant, who nad been putting coid wet towels around the top ot my head, came in with a glass of water and said, “There’s a cop outside wants to see you; says his name is Sellers.” “Tell him to come tn.” “He can’t come in. He’s dressed. He’d be sweating buckets inside of five minutes.” “Tell him I can’t go out. I’d catch cold." The attendant went away. Within about five minutes, Frank Sellers came in, mad all the way through. He took off his coat and necktie and threw them on a chair. “Now look, Pint Size," Sellers said, “you’ve pullet, a couple of mighty fast ones. 1 don’t know how you did It, and I’m not going to try to find out because we’re sitting pretty. We got the safe open and we’ve got confessions out of Ferguson and Jimmy Lenox. Mortimer Jasper has been one of the biggest fences in the country, operating with a choice clientele, picking up only the stuft for which he had a customer tn advance, and operating right under our noses without our even suspecting what was going on. “I’ll forgive you a lot for that But 1 have an idea you may be a paragraph ahead of us on the Crockett murder. “Now, that’s in my department 1 can’t afford to come a cropper on that I want to know what you know, and then I’m going away and leave you alone." I said, “You’re too opinionated to have an open mind on that murder." “No, I’m not," he said. “But Hl tell you one thing. The only place from which that dart could have been fired was Phyllis Crockett’s studio. The only time it could have been fired was while Phyllis Crockett and Sylvia Hadley were in there together—and Sylvia Hadley saw the tip of that blowgun as Phyllis Crockett was aiming it from the washroom . . . You can get a first-degree murder fconviction on that kind of evidence." “Your premises are cockeyed," I stud. "The dart couldn't have been fired from the studio." “You’re nuts, Donald." Bellers said angrily. “We took that blowgun and stood it up there in that

Richard N. Galbreath, a native of Winamac, has been appointed as maintenance and repair engineer at the Decatur plant of Central Soya, according to an announcement from the Fort Wayne office of the firm. Galbreath holds a BS in mechanical engineering from Purdue, where he was graduated in 1957. He has served two years in the U. S. Navy as a student aviator and an intelligence analyst in the Navy intelligence office. He and his wife, Karen, and daughter, Tamara, plan to reside in Decatur.

I closet, and there isn’t a single I place where you can stand and shoot a dart from that blowgun that would have landed in Crockett's chest —that's a five-toot, four-inch blowgun and —" “What kind of rifling marks does it have?" 1 asked. “What do you mean, rifling marks?” Sellers asked. • “So you can call tn your ballistics department," 1 said. “You know, the way, you do with a bullet.** “You're nuts." Sellers said. “There aren’t any grooves in a blowgun." 1 said, “Do you mean to stand there and tell me that you can’t tell from the marks on a dart that it was fired from a particular blowgun?" a “Os course not” “Then," 1 said, "how do you know the darts were fired from Crockett's blowgun?’’ Sellers grabbed his handker- ; chief, mopped nis forehead, ran the handkerchief around the collar of his shirt and looked at me. “Now, wait a minute, Donald," he said. It stands to reason they had to come through that blowi gun.” “Why does it stand to reason ?” “Well, blowguns aren’t manufactured tn mass production. ■ Each one is an individual Job in • itself. Darts are made to fit a particular blowgun." •"Therefore you feel they had to be fired from that blowgun?" “Sure.” “Why?” "Because they were made to fit the blowgun.” “Then,” 1 said, “if darts were made to fit a blowgun, it should be possible to make a blowgun to fit the darts. The dart that was imbedded in the wood in that closet went in pretty deep.” "That’s right It went in pretty i deep.” “You think Mrs. Crockett blew it from across the light well in that apartment house?” “She had to. It was the only I place it could have come from. ; You take the angle of that and • it points right back to the wash- ■ room window. There was no other place it could possibly have come l from.” “Well,” I said, "before you rule i out the impossibilities, you should , consider the possibilities. Now, have you taken one of those .darts ! and tried blowing It through that blowgun and see how deep yon can penetrate the wood with the • dart?" i The mystery comes to an end here tomorrow. Don’t miss the tost chapter.
