RENEW SEARCH FOR JM GIRL Twelve Theories Followed to Locate Student. liU United Press NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Jan. 30. —Determined to examine thoroughly each of the twelve possible theories as to- what might have happened to Miss Frances St. John Smith, authorities started with renewed vigor today to attempt solution of the disappearance of the Smith College student. In all likelihood the ice of Paradise pond will be blasted and the waters drained in investigation of the theory that the girl killed herself. The pond was drained shortly after Miss Smith disappeared but large ice deposits prevented minute eearch. The twelve theories as to the disappearance range from suicide to clopment. Parents of the girl, Mr. and Mrs. St. John Smith, of New York, still cling to the belief that their daughter is safe. The mother is said to be near a collapse.

Rid of Rheumatism and Back-Ache Had Five Years of Misery, But Finally Found Road to Health. Anyone who is enduring the pains of rheumatism, i backache, kidney weakness or stomach torture will be more than interested in reading the experience of Mr. C. T. Bowen, 029 Mulberry St., Rockford, 111. He writes: * "Rheumatism made my life miserable for 5 years. The pains in my right leg and hip were so intense that I couldn't lie on my right side. I couldn’t even lean back in a barber chair. In addition, I had terrible back-ache and kidney pains, and my liver felt sore all the time. I had suffered for years with constipation and stomach trouble, and was always taking pills and laxatives without getting relief. Whenever I ate, gas would form and I would bloat and cramp so that I was afraid to eat. I rolled and tossed all night Jong, and got up more tired than when I went to bed. I was a mighty sick man when I read about Viuna and sent to the drug store for a bottle. From the first few doses, I knew I had found the right medicine at last. Before I had finished the first bottle, I improved wonderfully. Now all my rheumatism has just about vanished. My back-ache is gone, my kidneys are strong and my liver working fine. Food tastes good and I am eating heartily and sleeping soundly, with no stomach distress and no constipation. Today I am a well man, working every day, and enjoying life which I never expected to do again." Vlnna acta promptly bn sluggish .towels, lazy liver and weak kidnaps. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial.

THE STORY THUS FAR Vance’s theory is that two unknown persons were in Margaret Odell's apartment that fatal evening; one hiding in a clothes closet, the other the man who strangled her. In no way can the police account for the presence of anyone In the apartment. The door to the alley was bolted on the Inside and the man who had gone out with the “Canary” the night before had been the only one to be seen with her. and circumstances completely eliminated him. There is another man who called while she was out, but one of the phone operators testifies that he had been unable to get In the apartment. CHAPTER XII AN ugly light came into Heath’s eyes. “We've got ways,” he said through his teeth, “of getting damn interesting conversation outa people who haven’t no great reputation for repartee.” Vance sighed. “How the Four Hundred needs you, my Sergeant!” Markham looked at his watch. “I’ve got pressing work at the office,” he said, “and all this talk isn’t getting us anywhere.” He put his l]and on Heath’s shoulder. “I’ll leave you to go ahead. This afternoon I’ll have these people brought down to my office for another questioning—maybe I can jog their memories a bit. . . .You’ve got some line of investigation planned?” “The usual routine.” replied Heath drearily. “I’ll go through Odell’s papers, and I’ll have three or four of my men check up on her.” “You’d better get after the Yellow Taxicab Company right away,” Markham suggested. “Find out, if you can, who the man was who left here at half past eleven last night, and where he went.” “Do you imagine for one moment,” asked Vance, “that if this man knew anything about the minder, he would have stopped in the hall and asked the operator to call a taxi for him?” “Oh, I don’t look for much in that direction.” Markham’s tone was almost listless. “But the girl may have said something to him that’ll give us a lead.” Vance shook his head facetiously. “O welcome pure-eye'd Faith, whitehanded Hope, thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!” Markham was in no mood for chaffing. He turned to Heath and spoke with forced cheeriness. “Call me up later this afternoon. I may get some new evidence out of the outfit we’ve just interviewed. "And,” he added, “be sure to put a man on guard here. I want this apartment kept just as it is until we see a little more light.” “I’ll attend to that,” Heath assured him. Markham and Vance and I went out and entered the car. A few minutes later we were winding rapidly across town through Central Park. “Recall our recent conversation about footprints in the snow?” asked Vance, as we emerged into Fifth Avenue and headed south. “As I remember,” mused Vance, “in the hypothetical case you presented there were not only footprints, but a dozen or more witnesses—including a youthful prodBUSINESS WANTSYOU Prepare definitely and you can go to work at once.

igy—who saw a figure of some kind cross the hibernal landscape. “Here yon are in a most beastly pother because of the disheartenin’ fact that there are neither footprints in the snow nor witnesses who saw a fleeing figure. In short, you are bereft of both direct and circumstantial evidence . . . Sad, sad.” He wagged his head dolefully. “Y* know, Markham, it appears to me that the testimony in this case constitutes conclusive legal proof that no one could have been with the deceased at the hour of her passing, and that ,ergo, she is presumably alive. “The strangled body of the lady Is, I take it, simply an irrelevant circumstance from the standpoint of legal procedure. “I know that you learned lawyers won’t admit a murder without a body; but how, in sweet Heaven’s name, do you get around a corpus delicti without a murder?” “You’re talking nonsense.” Markham rebuked him, with a show of anger. “Oh, quite,” agreed Vance. “And yet, it's a distressin’ thing for a lawyer not to have footprints of some kind, isn’t it, old dear? It leaves one so up In the air.” “Suddenly Markham swung round. “You, of course, don’t need footprints, or any other kind of material clews,” he flung at Vance tauntingly. "You have powers of divination such as are denied ordinary mortals. If I remember correctly, you informed me, somewhat grandiloquently, that, knowing the nature and conditions of a crime, you could lead me infallibly to the culprit, whether he left footprints or not. You recall that boast? “Well, here's a crime, and the perpetrator left no footprints coming or going. Be so good as to end my suspense by confiding in me who killed the Odell girl.” Vance's serenity was not ruffled by Markham’s ill-humored challenge. He sat smoking lazily for several minutes: then he leaned over and flicked his cigaret ash out of the window. “’Pon my word, Markham,” he joined evenly. “I’m half inclined to look into this silly murder. “I think, I’ll wait, though, and see whom the nonplussed Heath turns up with his inquiries.” Markham grunted scoffingly, and sank back on the cushions. “Your generosity wrings me,” he said. (Tuesday, Sept. 11;; afternoon.) On our way downtown that morning we were delayed for a considerable time in the traffic congestion just north of Madison Square, and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Markham anxiously looked at his watch. “It’s past noon,’ ’he said. “I think I’ll stop at the club and have a bite of lunch. . . . “I presume that eating at this early hour would be too plebeian for so exquisite a hothouse flower as you.” Vance considered the invitation. “Since you deprived me of my breakfast,” he decided, “I’ll permit you to buy me some eggs Benedictine.” A few minutes later we entered the almost empty grill of the Stuyvesant Club, and took a table near one of the windows looking southward over the treetops of Madison Square. Shortly after we had given our order a uniformed attendant entered and, howing deferentially at the district attorney’s elbow, held out an unaddressed communication sealed in one of the club's envelopes. Markham read it with an expression of growing curiesity, and as he studied the signature a look of mild surprise came into his eyes. At length he looked up and nodded to the waiting attendant. Then, excasing himself, he left us abruptly. It was fully twenty minutes before he returned. “Funny thing,” he said. “That note was from the man who took the Odell woman to dinner and the theater last night. . . , “A small world,” he mused. “He’s staying here at the club—he’s a non-resident member and makes it his headquarters when he’s in town.” “You know him?” Vance put the question disinterestedly. “I've met him several times—chap named Spotswoode.” Markham seemed perplexed. “He’s a man of family, lives in a country house on Long Island, and is regarded generally as a highly respectable member of society—one of the last persons I’d suspect of being mixed up with the Odell girl.

“But, according to his own confession, he played around a good deal with her during his visits to New York—‘sowing a few belated wild oats,’ as he expressed it—and last night took her to Francelle’s for dinner and to the Winter Garden afterward.” “Not my idea of an intellectual, or even edifyin’, evening,” commented Vance. “And he selected a deuced unlucky day for it. ... I say, imagine opening the morning paper and learning that your petite dame of the preceding evening had been strangled! Disconcertin,’ what?” “He’s certainly disconcerted,” said Markham. “The early afternoon papers were out about an hour, and he'd been phoning my office every ten minutes, when I suddenly walked in here. “He’s afraid his connection with the girl will leak out and disgrace him.” “And won’t it?” “I hardly see the necessity. No one knows who her escort was last evening; and since he obviously had nothing to do with the crime, what’s to be gained by dragging him into it? “He told me the whole story, and offered to stay in the city as long as I wanted him to.” “I infer, from the cloud of disappointment that enveloped you when you returned just now that his story held nothing hopeful lor you in the way of clews.” “No,” Markham admitted. “The gjrl apparently never spoke to him of her intimate affairs; and he couldn’t give me a single helpful suggestion.

“His account of what happened last night agreed perfectly with Jessup’s. He called for the girl at seven, brought her home at about eleven, stayed with her half an hour or so and then left her. “When he heard her call for help he was frightened, but on being assured by her there was nothing wrong, he concluded she had dozed off into a nightmare, and thought no more about it. “He drove direct to the club here, arriving about ten minutes to twelve. “Judge Redfern, who saw him descend from the taxi, insisted on his coming upstairs and playing poker with some men who were waiting in the judge's rooms for him. “They played until three o’clock this morning.” (To Be Continued)
