COMMUNISTS' PLOT

'J' ARAINQT AMCDIPAMQ

nwniuvi rtiiikiiiuniiu REVEALED IN PARIS (By Associated Press) PARIS. Oct. 21 A plot by Trench communists to take retaliatory measures against all American officials In France In the event of the execution of Sacco and Vanzettl, convicted In an American court of murder, was revealed last night when It became known that threats .had been made to blow up the offices . of the American reparations commission and the passport bureau. Threatening letters, warning of reprisals in the event of the death of the two men, were also received yesterday by the American consul general, Alexander M. Thackara, and the American consuls at Marseilles, Bordeaux and Lyons. In consequence of this strong forces of police are guarding the new building near the Place

DeL'Etoile, occupied by the repara-j tlons and passport offices, and also the consulate in the Rue Desltaliens. The police in Bordeaux and Lyons and Marseilles are guarding the consulates there. The letters to the passport and reparations officials were not signed, but a letter received by M. Thackara this evening was signed by the Cummunist organization in a small town near Lille. It said that retaliatory measures would be taken against American citizens in France if the men were executed. Herrick Case Unsolved No arrests were announced up to a late hour by the French police In connection with the explosion of a bomb in Ambassador Herrick's home and the police say they have abandoned the theory of a plot and believe the m tending of the bomb was the act of an individual Communist. The police have discovered the district postoffice where tha package was mailed, but have been unable to find any trace of the sender. The postoffice is in the workmen's quarter. Meantime, Ambassador Herrick received firty-six letters of protest during the day, culminating with the arrival late in the afternoon of another letter, threatening the lives of American officials in France. The Americans do not accept (his theory of the police: they believe that a widespread plot actually exists to do serious harm to the Americans. The latest letter to the ambassador is signed by the Communist-Socialist and

young Communist organizations of Chalons-sur-Marne and is stamped with the official seal of these bodies.

The Resident Patient

Sherlock Holmes's prophecy wa3 soon fulfilled,' and In a dramatic' fashion. ' At . half-past , seven next morning. In the first dim glimmer of daylight, I found him standing by my bedside in his 'dressing-gown. "There's a brougham waiting for us, Watson," said he. "What's the matter, then?" "The Brook Street business." "Any fresh news?" "Tragic, but ambiguous," said he, pulling up the blind. "Look at this a sheet from a note-book, with 'For God's v sake come at once P. T.,' scrawled upon it in pencil. Our friend, the doctor, was hard put to It when he wrote this. Come along, my dear fellow, for it's an urgent call." r In a quarter of an hour or so we were back at the physician's house. He came running out to meet ua with

a face of horror. "Oh, such a business," he cried, with his hands to his temples. "What then?" "Blessington has committed suicide!" Holmes whistled. "Yes, he hangel himself during the night" We had entered and the doctor had preceded us into what was evidently his waiting-room. "I really hardly know what I am doing," he cried. "The police are already upstairs. It has shaken me most dreadfully." "When did you find it out?" , - "He has a cup of tea taken In to him early every morning. When the maid entered, about seven, there the

unfortunate fellow was hanging In the middle of the room. He had tied his cord to the hook on which the heavy lamp used to hang, and he had jumped off from the top of the very box that he showed us yesterday." Holmes stood for a moment in deep thought "With your permission," said he at last, "I should like to go upstairs and look Into the matter." We both ascended, followed by the doctor. It was a dreadful sight which met

us as we entered the bedroom door.

I nave spoken or the impression of flabbiness which this man Blessington conveyed. As he dangled from the hook it was exaggerated and intensified until he was scarce human in his appearance. The neck was drawn out like a plucked chicken's, making the rest of him seem the more obese and unnatural by contrast. He . was clad only In his long night-dress, and his swollen ankles and ungainly feet protruded starkly from beneath it. Beside him stood a smart-looking police inspector, who was taking notes in a pocketbook. "Ah, Mr. Holmes," said he, heartily, as my friend entered, "1 am delighted to see you." "Good-morning, Lanner," answered Holmes; "you won't think me an Intruder, I am sure. Have you heard of the events which led up to this affair?" "Yes, I heard something of them." "Have you formed any opinion?" "As far as I can see, the man has been driven out of his senses by fright. The bed has been well slept in, you

see. There's his impression, deep enough. It's about five in the morning, you know, that suicides are most common. That would be about bis time for hanging himself. It seems to have been a very deliberate affair. "I should say that he has been dead about three hours, judging by the rigidity of the muscles," said I. "Noticed anything peculiar about the room?" asked Holmes. "Found a screw-driver and some screws on the wash-hand stand. Seems to have 6moked heavily during the night, too. Here are four cigar-ends that I picked out of the fireplace." "Hum!" said Holmes, "have you got his cigar-holder r "No, I have seen none.""His cigar-case, then?" "Yes, it was in his coat pocket." Holmes opened it and smelled the single cigar which It contained.

"Oh. this is an Havana, and these others are cigars of the peculiar sort which are imported by the Dutch from their East Indian colonies. They are usually wrapped in straw, you know and are thinner for their length than any other brand." He picked up the four ends and examined them with his pocket-lens. "Two of these have been smoked from a holder and two without," said he. "Two have been cut by a not very sharp knife, and two have had the ends bitten off by a set of excellent teeth. This is no suicide, Mr. Lanner. It is a very deeply planned and coldblooded murder." "Impossible !' cried the Inspector. "And why?" "Why should any one murder a man in so clumsy a fashion as by hanging

Tiim?" ; "That is what we have to find out." "How could . they get in?" "Through the; front door." "It was barred in the morning." "Then it was barred after them." "How do you' know?"

"I saw their true-en 'Exc.nun m

moment, and I may be able to give you some - further Information about

it." .

ing the lock he examined it in his methodical way. Then he took out the key, which was on the inside, and in

spected tnat also. The bed. the carDL the chain, thn mant-plnierA. tha

dead body, and the rope were each in

mm. examined, until at last ne professed himself satisfied, and with my aid and that of the inspector cut down the wretched object and laid It reverently under a sheet "How about this rope?" he asked. "It is cut off this." said Dr. Trevelyan, drawing a large coil from under the bed. "He was morbidly nervous of fire, and always kept this beside him, so that he might escape by the window in case the stairs were burning." "That must have saved them trouble." said Holmes, thoughtfully. "Yes, the actual facts, are very plain, and I shall be surprised if by the afternoon I cannot give you the reasons for them as well. I will take this photograph of Blessington, which I see upon the mantelpiece, as It may help me in my inquiries." "But you have told us nothing'" cried the doctor. - "Oh, there can be no doubt as to the sequence of events," said Holmes. "There were three of them in if the

young man, the old man, and a third, to whose identity I have no clue. The first two, I need hardly remark, are the same who masqueraded as the Russian count and his son, so we can give a very full description of them. They were admitted by a confederate inside the house. If I might offer you a word of advice. Inspector, it would be to arrest the page, who, as I under

stand, has only recently come . into your service Doctor." - ' y ' Tomorrow "The Resident Patient", concluded.

Of 500 truants examined in NewYork City last year, more than 4,000 were found to have physical and mental defects. .. ,
