tore, 1t came to pass that Franklin Chase was re-
leased on his own reCOgniZanCe, while Detective
Mallory wandered off into the sacred precincts of
his private office to hold his head in his hands and
think.
Hutchinson Hatch, reporter, had followed the
1ntrcacies of the mystery from the discovery of
DE Forrest body, through the preliminary hearing
up TO and including the expert examination of the
clocks; which immediately preceded the release of
Franklin Chase. When this point was reached his
mental condition was not unlike that OF Detective

This is one of the most remarkable cases that has
come to nv attention, he said at last, because il
possesses the unusual quality of being perfect each
way; that IS the evidence against Chase IS perfect
and the alibi he offers IS perfect. But know IN
stantlv that if Chase killed De Forrest, there
something the matter with the clocks, despite expert
opinion. We know that as certainly as we know
that two and two make four, not sometimes but
all the time, because reason tells us that Chase
was not in two places at two o'clock Therefore,
must assume either one OF two things-that
something was the matter with the ClOCks-and If
there was must assume that Chase was respOn-
sible for tor that Chase had nothing whatever to
