BAR CHARGES MORAL LAXITY TOJJJfI. RAY Application for Admission as Attorney Fought Before Court. Application of George M. Ray, who has figured prominently in Indiana politics for 25 years, to be admitted to the bar was opposed by the- Marion County Bar association Monday before Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin, on the grounds that he cannot qualify under the "good moral character” clause. One penitentiary term and three other convictions were admitted by Ray on the witness stand. He then presented a claim that he can qualify under the "good moral character” clause in the rules governing admittance to the bar. Judge Ponders Matter Judge Chamberlin took the matter under advisement. He will rule within few days. The application was opposed by Clarence W. .Nichols, chairman, and the Marion County Bar Association committee on disbarment. Ray asked to be admitted to the bar on the ground that he represents Miss Elnore Haig in several matters which require the power of attorney. Ray was represented in court by Fred Van Nuys. A parade of character witnesses, many now holding public offices, and others former State officials, took the stand to maintain Ray is of good moral character. On cross examination, Nichols asked whether the opinion of good character is formed while considering the convictions. Some answered directly in the affirmative, while others qualified their answers with such as “All of us have our bad sides;” and "It is possible to change one's ways.” Several Witnesses Called Among these witnesses were Alber T. Sahm, treasurer of the State Life Insurance Company, and former postmaster; Edward Major, former postmaster at Shelbyville and now a field examiner for the State board of accounts; and J. C. Henderson, former State auditor. Ray as editor of "Why” and the Indiana Democratic Herald has figured prominently in State politics, particularly during campaigns. One of the convictions, for criminal libel, grew out of a newspaper attack on the Criminal Court and grand jury. The conviction was affirmed by the higher court, and Ray served a 30-day sentence. The first conviction was in 1901. It was on a charge of conspiracy to make false affidavits in connection with supplies for Shelby County. At this time he was in the printing business. On this conviction, Ray served 25 months in the penitentiary. Tried On Federal Charge The next conviction was in 1915 in Federal Court for sending obscene matter through the mails. He was fined SSOO and costs. Shortly afterward he pleaded guilty to bribery in connection with a Clay County school supply transaction. The criminal libel conviction followed that for bribery. Nichols is associated on the disbarment committee with Donovan Hoover, Jacob Morgan, and Solon J. Carter.

THE STORY THUS FAR The jewel case had been opened with a steel chisel after being battered with a poker. This leads Vance to think that the real murderer had not opened it, but someone who was hiding in the closet when the murder was committed. That man. he thinks, was Skeel, whose fingerprints were found in the apartment of the strangled Margaret Odell. Markham ridicules the theory and Vance painstakingly explains his reasons for thinking the crime was not one of robbery but the work of a highly intelligent man. Markham and Vance discuss Mannix, Spotswoode and Dr. Lindquist. CHAPTER XXVI "’Y7'OU'RE so prejudicial!" said X Vance. "But let us move reluctantly on. —What’s your picture of Cleaver? The fact that he’s familiarly called Pop is helpful as a starter. "You simply couldn’t imagine Beethoven being called Shorty, or Bismarck being referred to as Snookums.” “Cleaver has been a politician most of his life—a Tammany Hall ‘regular.’ m "Was award-boss at twenty-five: ran a Democratic club of some kind in Brooklyn for a time; was an alderman for two terms, and practiced general law. "Was appointed tax commissioner; left politics, and raised a small racing stable. Later secured an illegal gambling concession at Saratoga; and now operates a poolroom in Jersey City. "He’s what you might call a professional sport. Loves his liquor.” "No marriages?” “None on the records. But see here: Cleaver’s out of it. He was ticketed in Boonton that night at half past eleven.” "Is that, by any chance, the watertight alibi you mentioned a moment ago?” "In my primitive legal way I considered it as such.” Markham resented Vance’s question. “The summons was handed him at half past eleven; it’s so marked and dated. And Boonton is fifty miles fi’om here—a good two hours’ motor ride. “Therefore, Cleaver unquestionably left New York about half past nine; and even if he’d driven directly back, he couldn’t have reached here until long after the time the medical examiner declared the girl was dead. "Asa matter of routine, I investigated the summons, and even spoke by phone to the officer who issued it. “It was genuine enough—l ought to know: I had it quashed." “Did this Boonton Dogberry know Clever by sight?” “No, but he gave me an accurate description of him. And naturally he took the car’s number.” Vance looked at Markham with keen-eyed sorrow. “My dear Markham—my very dear Markham—can’t you see that all you’ve actually proved is that a bucolic traffic Nemesis handed a speed-violation summons to a smooth-faced, middle aged, stout man who was driving Cleaver’s car near Boonton at half past eleven on the night of the murder? "And, my word! Isn’t that exactly the sort of alibi the old boy would arrange if he intended taking the lady’s life at midnight or thereabouts?” "Come, come!” laughed Markham. “That’s a bit too far-fetched You’d give every law-breaker credit

for concocting schemes of the most diabolical cunning." “So I would,” admitted Vance apathetically. “And—d’ye know?—l rather fancy that's just the kind of schemes a law-breaker would concoct, if he was planning a murder, and his own life was at stake. “What really amazes me is the naive assumption of your investigators that a murderer gives no intelligent thought whatsover to his future safety. It’s rather touchin’, y’ know.” Markham grunted. “Well, you can take it from me, it was Cleaver himself who got that summons.” “I dare say you’re right,” Vance conceded. “I merely suggested the possibility of deception, don’t y’ know. The only point I really insist on is that the fascinatin’ Miss Odell was killed by a man of subtle and superior mentality.” “And I, in truth,” irritably rejoined Markham, "insist that the only men of that type who touched her life intimately enough to have had any reason to do it are Mannix, Cleaver, Lindquist, and Spotswoode. “And I further insist that not one of them can be regarded as a promising possibility.” “I fear I must contradict you, old dear,” said Vance serenely. “They’re all possibilities—and one of them is guilty.” Markham glared at him derisively. “Well, well! So the case is settled! Now, if you’ll but indicate which Is the guilty one, I’ll arrest him at once, and return to my other duties.” “You’re always in such haste,” Vance lamented. “Why leap and run? “The wisdom of the world’s philosophers is against it. Festina lente, says Caesar; or, as Rufus has it, Festinatio tarda est. “And the Koran says quite frankly that haste is of the Devil. Shakespeare was constantly belittling speed:* ‘He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes’; and ‘Wisely, and slow; they stumble that run fast.’ Chaucer also held similar views. ‘He hasteth well,’ said he, ‘that wysely can abyde.’ “Even God's common people have embalmed the idea in numberless proverbs; ‘God and quickly seldom meet’; and ‘Hasty men never want woe—’ ” Markham rose with a gesture of impatience. “Hell!

THE DDISNSKTEIS TIMES

start a bedtime story,” he growled. The ironical aftermath of this remark was that Vance did tell a “bedtime story” that night; but he told it to me in the seclusion of his own library; and the gist of it was this: “Heath is committed, body and soul, to a belief in Skeel’s guilt; and Markham is as effectively strangled with legal red tape as the poor Canary was strangled with powerful hands. “Eheu, Van! There’s nothing left for me but to set forth tomorrow a cappella, like Gaboriau’s Monsieur Lecoq, and see what can be done in the noble cause of justice. “I shall ignore both Heath and Markham, and become as a pelican of the wilderness, an owl of the desert,- a sparrow alone upon the housetop. “Really, y’ know. I’m no avenger of society, but I do detest an unsolved problem.” (Thursday, Sept, 13; forenoon) Greatly to Currie’s astonishment at 9 o’clock the following morning; and at 10 o’clock we were sitting on his little roof-garden having breakfast in the mellow mid-September sunshine. “Van,” he said to me, when Currie had brought us our second cup of coffee, “however secretive a woman may be, there’s always some one to whom she unburdens her soul. “A confidant is an essential to the feminine temperament. It may be a mother, or a lover, or a priest, or a doctor, or, more generally, a girl chum. “In the Canary’s case we haven’t a mother or a priest. Her lover—the elegant Skeel—was a potential enemy; and we’re pretty safe in ruling out her doctor—she was too shrewd to confide in such a creature as Lindquist. “The girl chum, then, remains. And today we seek her.” He lit a cigaret and rose. “But, first, we must visit Mr. Benjamin Browne of Seventh Avenue.” Benjamin Browne was a wellknown photographer of stage celebrities, with galleries in the heart of the city’s theatrical district; and The help-youraelf plan of a cafeteria enables the finest of foods at “odd penny prices” to be served at White’s Cafeteria, 27 N.

as we entered the reception-room of his luxurious studio later that morning my curiosity as to the object of our visit was at the breaking point. Vance went straight to the desk, behind which sat a young woman with flaming red hair and mas-caro-shaded eyes, and bowed in his most dignified manner. Then, taking a small, unmounted photograph from his pocket, he laid it before her. “I am producing a musical comedy, mademoiselle,” he said, “and I wish to communicate with the young lady who left this picture of herself with me. “Unfortunately, I’ve misplaced her card; but as her photograph bore the imprint of Browne’s, I thought you might be good enough to look into your files and tell me who she is and where I may find her.” He slipped a $5 bill under the edge of the blotter, and waited with an air of innocent expectancy. The young woman looked at him quizzically, and I thought I detected the hint of a smile at the corners of her artfully rouged lips.. But after a moment she took the photograph without a word and disappeared through a rear door. Ten minutes later she returned and handed Vance the picture. On the back of it she had written a name and address. "The young lady is Miss Alys La Fosse, and she lives at the Belafield Hotel.” There was now no doubt as to her smile. “You really shouldn’t be so careless with the addresses of your applicants—some poor girl might lose an engagement.” And her smile suddenly turned into soft laughter. “Mademoiselle,” replied Vance, with mock seriousness, “in the future I shall be guided by your warning.” __
