WATER RELIEF AT SUNNYSIDE AWAITSSURVEY Delay Basin Construction Until Engineer Makes His Report. Unconvinced that the three wells now serving Sunnyside Tuberculosis Sanatorium are adaquate, memoera of the sanatorium board won agreement of county commissioners Friday to delay contemplated construction of large sedimentation basins until an engineer's report has been submitted. Cassius Hogle, commissioners’ chairman, said the county was ready to proceed with construction of the basins and a filtration plant along lines suggested by Harrie T. Best, chief engineer for the Standard Cement Construction Cos., of Cincinnati. Thinks Wells Adaquate Hogle regarded present wells adequate and held that enlarged storage facilities would remedy a situation which frequently forced removal of patients because of insufficient or impure water. Irving Lemaux, chairman of the sanatorium board, expressed gratification at the commission's willingness to afford relief, but with Dr. Harold Hatch, superintendent of the institution, and Dr. Alfred Henry felt a survey should first be made. Best, who volunteered his services and said he would not accept a cent for his engineering advice and direction of installation said wastage should be reduced at the institution. Survey Will Be Made He will make a survey of the situation and report his findings to the commissioners and sanatorium officials, who still J eel additional wells might be required. It was brought out in the conference that the 330 persons at Sunnyside use 75,000 gallons of water daily. Large sedimentation tanks would relieve the situation, Best declared, by enabling the institution to keep pumps working and storing water in the reservoirs. They will be of earthen construction, covered, and of a capacity of between 100,000 and 200,000 gallons, according to requirements revealed by the survey. No estimate was reached as to their cost. BADGER DELEGATES WET Wisconsin Socialists Will Oppose Dry Law at Convention. !'•!! United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 25. Wisconsin will have thirty-one delegates, the second largest delegation, in the national Socialist convention in New York April 14, according to announcement of Edmund T. Melms, secretary of the local Socialist group. New York has thirty-two delegates. The party in Wisconsin always has stood for liquor and is likely to oppose any sidestepping of the prohibition issue, Melms declared. The proposal that the United States join the League of Nations or the World Court was presented at last year’s convention and will meet with renewed opposition from the Wisconsin delegation, he predicted, if It is again considered.

THE STORY THUS TAR Vance believes Skeel innocent of the murder of Margaret Odell and that he lay hidden in a closet while the strangler did his work. Markham ridicules the theory hut Vance ia unshaken. Mannix, under pressure, reveals that he had been calling, the. night nf the murder, on a Miss Frisbee, who occupied the apartment adjoining tha “Canary’s.” At five minutes to 12, he says, he saw Cleaver sneaking out the side door of the building—the door which was thought bolted on the inside all night. Markham confronts Cleaver with this Information and asks isim why he lied about his whereabouts. CHAPTER XXXVI FOR a long time there was tense silence. Then Cleaver spoke. ‘‘l’ve got to think this thing out.” Markham waited patiently. After several minutes Cleaver drew himself together and squared his shoulders. “I’m going to tell you what I did that night, and you can take it or leave it.” Again he was the cold, self-con-tained gambler. “I don't care how many witnesses you’ve got; it’s the only story you’ll ever get out of me. ‘‘l should have told you in the first place, but I didn’t see any sense of stepping into hot water if I wasn’t pushed in. You might have believed me last Tuesday, but now you’ve got something in your head, and you want to make an arrest to shut up the newspapers ” ‘‘Tell your story,” ordered Markham. ‘‘lf it’s straight, you needn’t w’orry about the newspapers.” Cleaver knew in his heart that this w'as true. No one—not even his bitterest political enemies—had ever accused Markham of buying praise with any act of injustice, however small.” “There’s not much to tell, as a matter of fact,” the man began. ‘ I went to Miss Odell’s house a little before midnight, but I didn’t enter her apartment; I didn't even ring her bell.” “Is that your customary way of paying visits?” “Sounds fishy, doesn’t it? But it’s the truth, nevertheless. I intended to see her—that is I wanted

to—but when I reached her door, something made me change my mind—” “Just a moment.—How did you enter the house?” “By the side door —the one off the alleyway. I alw r ays used it when it was open. Miss Odell requested me to, so that the telephone \ operator wouldn’t see me coming in so often.” “And the door was unlocked at that time Monday nribt?” “How else* could I have got in by it? A key wouldn't have done me any good, even if I’d had one, for the door locks by a b* It on the inside. “I’ll say this, though: that's the first time I remember finding the door unlocked at night-.” “All right. You went in the side entrance. Then what?” “I walked down the rear hall and listened at the door of Miss Odell’s apartment for a minute. I thought there might be someone else with her, and I didn’t want to ring unless she was a10ne....” "Pardon my interrupting, Mr. Cleaver,” interposed Vance. "But what made you think someone else was there?” The man hesitated. “Was it,” prompted Vance, “because you had telephoned to Miss Odell a little while before, and had been answered by a man's voice?” Cleaver nodded slowly. “I can’t see any particular point in denying it. . . . Yes, that's the reason.” “What did this man say to you?” “Damn little. He said ‘Hello,’ and w’hen I asked to speak to Miss Odell, he informed me she wasn’t in, and hung up.” "That, I think, explains Jessup’s report of the brief phone call to the Odell apartment at twenty minutes to twelve.” “Probably.” Markham spoke without interest. He was intent on Cleaver’s account of what happened later, and he took up the interrogation at the point where Vance had interrupted.

“You say you listened at the apartment door. What caused you to refrain from ringing?” “I heard a man's voice inside.” Markham straightened up. “A man’s voice? You're sure?” “That's what I said.” Cleaver was matter of fact about it. “A man's voice. Otherwise I’d have rung the bell.” “Could you Identify the voice?” “Hardly. It was very induistinct; and it soynded a little hoarse. It wasn’t any one’s voice I was familiar with; but I'd be inclined to say it was the same one that answered me over the phone.” , “Could you make out anything that was said?” Cleaver frowned and looked past Markham through the open window. "I know w’hat the words sounded like,” he said slowly. “I didn’t think anything of them at the time. But after reading the papers the next day those words came back to me—” “What were the words?” Markham cut in impatiently. “Well, as near as I could make out, they were: ‘Oh, my God! Oh, my God;' —repeated two or three times.” This statement seemed to bring a sense of horror into the dreary old office—a horror all the more potent because of the casual, phlegmatic way in which Cleaver repeated that cry of anguish. After a brief pause Markham asked: “When you heard this man's voice what did you do?” “I walked softly back down the rear hall and went out again through the side door. Then I went home.” A short silence ensued. Cleaver's testimony had been in the nature of a surprise; but it fittted perfectly with Mannix's statement. Presently Vance lifted himself out of the depths of his chair. “I say, Mr. Cleaver, what were you doing between twenty minutes to twelve—when you phoned Miss Odell—and five minutes to twelve—when you entered the side door of her apartment house?” “I w'as riding uptown in the subway from Twenty-Third St.,” came the answer, after a short pause. “Strange, very strange.” Vance inspected the tip of his cigaret. “Then you couldn't possibly have phoned to any one during that fifteen minutes—eh. what?” I suddenly remembered Alys La Fosse’s statement that Cleaver had telephoned to her on Monday night at ten minutes to twelve. Vance, by his question, had, without revealing his own knowledge, created a state of uncertainty in the other's mind. Afraid to commit himself too emphatically. Cleaver resorted to evasion. “It's possible. Is it. not, that I could have phoned someone after leaving the subway at seventy- j second St., and before I walked the block to Miss Odell's house?” “Oh, quite,” murmured Vance.

“Still, looking at it mathematically, if you phoned Miss Odell at twenty minutes to twelve, and then entered the Subway, rode to SeventySecond St„ walked a block to Seventy-First, w’ent into the building. listened at her door, and departed at five minutes to twelve—making the total time consumed only fifteen minutes—you’d scarcely have sufficient lee-way to stop cn route and phone to any one. “However, I shan’t press the point. But I’d real.y like to know what you did between eleven o’clock and twenty minutes to twelve, when you phoned to Miss Odell.” Cleaver studied Vance intently for a moment. "To tell you the truth, I was upset that night. I knew Miss Odell w’as out with another man—she’d broken an appointment with me—and I walked the streets for an hour or more, fuming and fretting.” “Walked the streets?” Vance frowned. “Thats what I said.” Cleaver spoke with animus. Then, turning he gave Markham a iong calculating look. “You remember I once suggested to you that you might learn something from a Doctor Lindquist Did you ever get after him?” Before Markham could answer, Vance broke in: “Ah! That's it—Dr. Lindquist! Well, well—of course! . . . So, Mr. Cleaver, you were walking the streets? The streets, mind you! Precisely!—You state the fact, and I echo the word ‘streets.’ And you —apparently out of a clear sky—ask about Dr. Lindquist. “Why Dr. Lindquist? No one has mentioned him. But that word ‘streets'—that’s the connection. The streets and Dr. Lindquist are one

—same as Paris and springtime are one. Neat, very neat. .. . And now I've got another piece to the puzzle.” Markham and Heath looked at him as if he had suddenly gone mad. He calmly selected a Regie from his case and proceeded to light it. Then he smiled beguilingly at Cleaver. “JThe time has come, my dear sir, for you to 'ieU us when 'and where you met Dr. Lindquist wnile roaming the streets Monday night. If you don’t, ’pon my word. I’ll come pretty clos. to doing it for you.” A full minute passed before Cleaver spoke; and during that time his cold staring eyes never moved from the district attorney’s face. "I’ve already told most of the story; so here’s the rest.” He gave a soft mirthless laugh. “I went to Miss Odell’s house a little before half past eleven thought she might be home by that time. “There I ran into Doctor Lindquist, standing in the entrance to the alleyway. He spoke to me, and told me someone w'as with Miss Odell in her apartment. “Then I walked round the comer to the Ansonia Hotel. After ten minutes or so I telephone Miss Odell, and, as I said, a man answered. “I w aited another ten minutes and phoned a friend of Miss Odell’s, hoping to arange a party; bi t failing, I walked back to the house. “The doctor had disappeared, and I went down the alleyway and in the side door. “After listening a minute, as I told you, and hearing a man’s voice, I came away and w r ent home . . . That’s everything.” (To Be Continued)
