NURDERitNlGHTCuiBUDy THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY

by ANTHONY ABBOT

copymHT.:™ Brcovrc. -*.&■*imc.duw *y v. isisi

SYNOPSIS Lola Carcwe. night cluh habitue, receives a death threat. New, Year’s Eve. Previously her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. District Attorney Merle K Dougherty suspects Lola of being the "brains" of the jewel thief ring that has bathed the police. .Although her husband, Gaylord Gifford, died practically penniless, Lola lives in luxury. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt plates a guard in Lola’s penthouse apartment. warning her that she must not be alone in a room at any time. Mrs. Care we, Lola’s mother; Chung the butler, Eunice the maid, and Vincent Howland, an attorney, are present. In the living room, the Commissioner finds a bag belonging to Christine Quires, Lolas guest, It evidently had been used that night, yet Lola informs Colt that Christine is at the Lion’s Paw, a roadhouse, where Lola was to have joined her. Colt is surprised|to find Mrs. Carewe's room in strange rontrast to the surrounding wealth Lola’s own boudoir is a gaudy contradiction of the living room's elegance. Lola refuses to reveal the identity of the young man whose photograph adorns her dresser. Agaiii'l orders, she enters the guest room alone. A scream follows. Rushing in. Colt finds her on the floor, unronscioua. Dr Hugh Baldwin, a friend, diagnoses the case as a heart attack.

CHAPTER NINE / "AOLT, who had stood with folded i ^ arms and knitted ln,,ws, turned to the butler, and unexpectedly asked: “Chung, do you know if Miss Lola Carewe was right-handed or left-handed ?” “Right-hande d,” answered Chung, with prompt ami urbane assurance. “I um left-handed. That makes me observe other people’s hands. Miss Lola was right-hand-ed.” At a word of dismissal from Colt, the butler then left, closing the door after him. “I am concerned,” Colt declared, “about her bathrobe." “What a b o u t it, Thatcher?” asked Dougherty, moving forward, with a vague glance at the garment. “The way it is buttoned, for one thing.” “Buttoned ?” Both Dougherty and I looked again at the dressing-rohe. as did the now deeply mystified and nervous Doctor Baldwin. None of us noticed anything peculiar about the way it was buttoned. “You see for yourselves,” pursued Colt, “it is a double-breasted dressing-robe buttoned on the right side. We all know when a man puts on any kind of garment, he buttons it invariably on the right side. The important thing is that women always reverse the procedure. It has been my experience that no woman ever buttons her coat, pyjamas or other apparel from left to right, unless the buttons on the left side have been torn away or if she is left-handed. Chung says that Lola was right-handed. Look at her coat.” Colt’s acute observation had indeed found here a singular variation from the normal. Lola’s body was sheathed in a bath-robe buttoned after the manner of a man. Dougherty gave a low gasp. “I see what you mean. Perhaps it was put on her hy someone else. And someone else made the natural mistake of reversal because he wag facing his victim! But why, Thatcher. why?” “Victim! I’ve heard enough of this talk!” exclaimed Doctor Baldwin. "What Is going on here? It all seems very peculiar.” Thatcher Colt regarded the physician with a stern gaae. “Doctor Baldwin,” he began, “you have given it as your opinion that Lola Carewe is suffering frqm a heart attack. And yet—if

you will pardon a layman’s groping- in a heart at > k the patient invariably feels iffocated and flushed. Am I not light, doctor!” “Absolutely rigli ' agreed Baldwin, with an aggi e ved glare. He had paled noticeably. “Yet again,” pu red the chief, “here we find a r ’ I supposed to have a heart atta< but clad in a warm robe, and i an apartment that is noticeably ■ cheated. That, I agree with you, i iieculiar.” “Perhaps,” adm ‘d the physician with a grudg g air. "Further,” ptn J Colt, “that livid glow on tl" lace which is visible even under ibis girl’s makeup—is that curiou coloring a symptom of heart tumble?” “Not a common one, but ” “It might be a uspicious factor, mightn’t it?” Baldwin’s pallor -opened. “Suspicious?" “Is it not true.” prodded Colt, “that in certain tyi s of poisoning, this flush appears?” The strong fingers of Doctor Baldwin's great ncht hand tightened around the frail wrist in his grasp. “Mr. Commissio' r, I must insist upon knowing if there is any reason for these ispicious?” he demanded. “The color!” prodded Colt impatiently. “Isn’t it | sibly a symptom of poisoning ’" The physician hesitated, then harked his reply. “It is one of the phenomena of carbon monoxide poisoning. — but wouldn’t that he impossible here?” There followed a long, ominous silence. Doctor Baldwin stood unmoving and speechless, as no pne replied to his question. Then the physician heaved a deep and resigned sigh. With an air of finality, he let Lola's wrist fall from his hand down to the l*ed, lifelessly. “1 arrived too lale,” he announced solemnly. “This lady is dead.” With sombre eyes, Thatcher Colt stared unspeaking at the pah* and haggard face of Doctor Hugh Baldwin. Then, with a slight frown, the Commissioner turned briskly and walked to the window. Raising it he looked out and down into the abyss of storm, darkness, and a straight drop of twenty-throe stories to the sidewalk. One glance and he brought down the window hur'riedly. “Tony—get Mackenzie. He’s on the terrace." In less than a minute I was back with the detective who looked with solemn eyes at the unmoving body

on the bed. "Mackenzie,” ordered Colt in i brittle voice, “get downstairs a. quirk as you can. Get under thi> window. See what you can find I ha might have Imon thrown from thi, window. Look for broken glass— anything.” "Right away, chief”—and Mac kenzie was gone. “What is that for?” asked Doctor Baldwin vaguely. “You say it’s heart-trouble. ! don’t believe it. I believe it’s poi son. By that I mean it’s murderand I’m going to proceed accord ingly.” At these words from Thatchei Colt, I was suddenly conscious oi the solemn situation in which w« found ourselves. The woman who had appealed to us for protectior now lay dead at the feet of the Police Commissioner. Not all his care his guards and admonitions, hat served to avert her mysterious fate At the hour named, Lola Carewe had died—on schedule! Colt wa.* right—it could not be a coincidence Dougherty clasped his fat ref hands behind his bark and stalker over beside Colt. Instinctively, i too moved back from the bod, leav* ing the physician and the Polict Commissioner standing face t face. Baldwin spoke first, his word coming unsteadily as if the inten sity of Colt’s gaze unsettled him “If what you say is true, a polio autopsy should be performed,” an nounced Baldwin throatily. “M.> personal belief is that this is a cas of heart failure. But after *he iz simiations voiced here in the lar ten minutes, I must insist on medico-legal verdict—after a com plete autopsy.” And the physician wiped his for* head with a large, silk handker chief. “It will take more than an au topsy,” declared Dougherty, “t Solve all the mysteries of this wt. man’s death.” “I am going to ask you to re main here, doctor,” snapped That cher Colt briskly, "until the Medi cal Examiner arrives. Mind?” "Quite all right, sir.” As the doctor turned from hi, bag to reclaim his hat, I saw CoF band swiftly over tha isd, lift » gleaming object from Die hag, un observed by Baldwin, and put h away in the breast pocket of hr. coat. A moment later he calmp turned and asked the medical mar to wait in the living-room ant quietly closed the door upon him.
