NURDERtbeNlGHTClUBLADy THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY ■) by ANTHONY ABBOT COPYRIGHT, 193! BY COVICI-FRIPDB IHC, DlSTR/PHriDlfY FTATURES SYNOICATP, IMC.

SYNOPSIS Despite the police guard placed in her home by Commissioner Thatcher Colt, t ola Carewe, suspected "higher up” of a jewel thief ring, is mysteriously murdered. Dr. Hugh Baldwin gives heart failure as the -ause of death. Those present at the time, hc-ides Colt and his aides, were Lola’s mother, Mrs. Carewe; the hullcr. maid, and Vineent Rowami. an attorney. Colt feels the young man whose photograph adorns Cola’s dresser — and whose identity -he refused to reveal beyond his first name, "Basil"—is connected with the mystery. At the mention of his name, Mrs. Carewe becomes hysterical, saying Lola was a cruel oeast and never loved Basil. Christine (fuires, Lola’s guest, rannot he located, although the elevator boy claims she returned around midnight with her escort, Guy Everett, and Colt found the hag she rarried. Colt phones Everett’s apartment after 3 a. m. and learns Everett has not arrived. A clue in the form of a -mall wooden box is picked up under Lola’s window Chnng, the hutler, reveals that Everett had threatened Lola and that Rowland, the lawyer, warned her she was playing a dangerous game and would be caught. Assistant Chief In--pcctor Flynn, in charge of the detective force, arrives. CHAPTER FOURTEEN ¥T w as Flynn who greeted Colt and I Dougherty In three or four sentences the Police Commissioner condensed all that had happened in the lust few hours. Flynn listened with ' ne eye elosed, and with grizzled Lands on the shoulders of his two mipanions, Inspector Eengel, n command of the six detective dis trict? of Manhattan, and Captain Wilson from the local precinct. "Better get right to work," grun’ed Flynn at the close of Colt’s synopsis. The Inspector turned toward the living-room door where his men were congregated. One group of operatives had brought along three portable flood amp which now, at Flynn’s barked jrders. they carried out to the terrace One was taken to the roof. Soon ’he outer porches blazed with flare? of white light, through which the wet snowflakes danced madly. The search around the terrace and roof was being resumed with dogged determination Meanwhile, Flynn was putting the rest of his crew to work. Among the new arrivals l discerned several that I knew, including Doctor J L. Multooler, the Assistant Medical Examiner. In the group were also half a dozen plainclothes men from the Borough Homicide Squad, a atenographer, and an extra camera man. It was from this assemblage that Flynn called next for two of his expert operatives. With business-like rapidity these two got to work Fred Merkle. photographer. was taken directly to the guest-room, where he set up his camera, and soon the dainty chamber of death flared with the lightning gleams of the latest model magnesium flashlight gun. Photographs of Lola Carewe were being taken from all angles, the prints later to be studied by detectives, made a part of the reeords, and produced by Dougherty in the court-room, if anyone ever was to be tried for the death of this unfortunate woman. The body was lifted from the bed and placed back In the position it occupied when found — Colt’s eyes unfailingly picking out the rug-pattern signs he had memorized. At the same time, Williams, the ftn| T-print wisprd^hrign £he Bu-

reau of Criminal Identification, was smearing black ink on a glass slab taken from his kit and smoothing it down with a roller. As soon as Merkle was through taking his pictures, Williams would ink the fingers and thumb of the victim and make impression records. This is an inevitable and routine precaution in all homicide cases, and often is of immeasurable consequence in the solution of crimes. Again Colt and Flynn conferred. Here the lines of a long, thorough, and determined investigation were laid down. Rapidly Colt explained the collateral circumstances of the last few hours, the personalities involved and the need for more information concerning them. One by one, detectives were called to Flynn's side and dispatched on assignments, to delve into the past life histories of persons Colt considered imjiortant. Johnston, the red-haired first-grade detective, was sent off to learn all that could be found out about Lowell Courtleigh, the elevator boy, while his partner, Simpson, was detailed to question every other tenant in the apartment house, to learn if anyone else had seen Christine Quires’ return, or knew any fact that would shed light on dur problem. To Winkler, of the Homicide Squad, went the task of uncovering the past of the butler Chung; here the Commissioner stated specially that he wanted the records from the immigration authorities, together with any information obtainable from the Chinese Consulate in New York City and the Chinese Legation in Washington. Fegler was detailed to scour the brief life of Eunice, the maid But Colt did not stop with the memfiers of the Carewe household. Jamieson, of the Homicide Squad, was detailed to find out what was worth knowing of Doctor Hugh Baldwin; Ericeson was assigned to uncover the inner history of Vincent Rowland (and Ericeson was the man for the job; he had amazing secret contacts), while three other operatives, led by Detective Harris, were told to get every crumb and scrap of information possible about Lola Carewe and her family, including in her case, too, the immigration records. Colt had still not finished his preliminary assignments. When all the detectives thus detailed had gone off upon their errands, Thatcher Colt summoned Detective Walker, one of the cleverest sleuths on the Homicide Squad. Into Walker’s hands the Commissioner entrusted the wooden box with its cotton lining and splintered sliding lid, found in the snow. "W a 1 k e r." explained Thatcher Colt, "this box is used to contain certain kinds of medical laboratory specimens. Cover the supply houses. See what you can got. Report to me personally on this." "Okay, chief!” grinned Walker and hurried off. It was the middle of the night, but Walker would not wait; soon he would he routing laboratory supply dealers out of their warm sheets and firing questions

at them.

Meanwhile, Thatcher Colt, after a whispered conference with Flynn, called aside Doctor Multooler. The Assistant Medical Examiner, famous for his clever deductions in many murder cases, was tall, rud-dy-faced, with the pink bulb nose and small twinkling eyes of a stage comedian. Multooler had the soul of a poet, condemned to a life-long daily diet of post-mortems. The autopsist was here now for only a regulation preliminary examination. As soon as Thalcher Colt gave the word. Multooler would order the body hi Lola Carewe sent to the M,orjjua at BeKevue, aed ther” fa'l

to work upon it in his own gruesome quest for facts. To Doctor Multooler, Colt briefly explained the situation, adding: “Now, doctor, I do not expect you to perform an autopsy in this penthouse. But I would like to have you make as complete an examination as possible at once. If you can get hold of anything that will throw some light on this problem, I shall be grateful to you. And doctor—can you have the autopsy performed immediately afterward?” Doctor Multooler gave a helpless look at the ceiling. "All right,” he promised. “There goes my New Year’s party—but I’ll promise to have the findings on your breakfast table." Two minutes afterward, the Assistant Medical Examiner began to remove the clothing from the body of I.nla Carewe. Meanwhile, under Colt's crisp orders, a dozen other police energies were being released. One detective was dispatched at once to the Axton Club, there to wait for the arrival of Guy Everett, the actor, wYo had been the last escort of Chris-

tine Quires.

Colt continued:

"It may look like we're moving too fa?’ before the autopsy results are known, but we dare not waste time There have been three strange deaths in this pent-house —a dog, a parrot, and a girl. After the body is taken away, 1 want the place searched still a third time by the whole crew—to find out if Christine Quires is hiding

here.”

“Just what I was about to suggest," approved Dougherty. Colt hastened on: “Get all n f Lola Carewe’s private papers that are in the apartment. Samples of Lola’s handwriting without fail. And samples of any others you find. Especially Christine Quires!” That meant that when the word was given, Center Street ferrets would be let loose in the apartment. By mathematical formula they would set out to account for every cubic inch of space within the penthouse walls. Meanwhile, Colt was again conferring with Flynn and Dougherty about the next move. “Never overlook those Heath threats against Lola,’’ he reminded them T^t’s get on with rounding up the household.” A moment later, Thatcher Colt was sealed opposite Eunice, the maid, whose stricken eyes gazed passively up at the Commissioner. Eunice was a frightened squirrel of a girl. Shock had left her quaking in every muscle, tonguetied and with roving eyes that suggested a trapped animal. She answered the questions put to her by Colt with nods and gulps. Her full name was Eunice Theresa James. She lived with her parents at an address in Staten Island, but since coming with Ix>la Carewe she had remained in the pent-house, a permanent part of the menage. Her duties were those of a lady’s maid. She was deeply attached to her mistress. Lola Carewe had been very kind to her. She was paid thirty dollars a week, with her room and board, and received many discard. whirg 0 ^* >nd other P« r< iuisitea hich she made over for herseff. . n °t seen Christine Quires elTrf* c h u r dppartur * with her escort.
