Everett, who was shot yesterday, and
our father-but you of course have
read of the murder in the papers"
He paused, and as the doctor
nodded, the other brother continued:
I'VE have came to you, doctor, to see
if, with your hypnotic power, you
have any way of-of-"
He paused in turn and looked help
lessly at William.
Let me tell you the facts, DOCTOR"
said the elder brother. "a private
detective agency received a call over
the phone yesterday from my father,
so they claim there. He wished a man
sent to him at once on business,
though he didn't say what business,
and neither we nor they have the
slightest notion of what it could be.
One of their men, Draper, went right
up. This was at ten o'clock yester-
day morning. When he got there he
found my father and Everett sitting
in chairs facing each other, both of
them with bullet-holes in their heads,
as if somebody standing near the
door had fired the two shots. Father
was dead, but Everett was only
stunned. He soon came to himself,
but most unaccountably refused to
say who did the shooting. He not
only would not tell the officials-he
would not even tell us when we called
on him and begged him to do so. His
only answer to our questions was, I
cannot speak-please, if you love me,
don't ask me. If you were in my
place you would do as 1 am doing
On that subject that is all he would
say, but from certain insights he has
given US into fathers business, the
cautions he has advised regarding GER

might result in something definite -

and me-to be suspected, and but for
the fact that we proved an absolute
alibi, by the clerks in our Office, we,
ourselves, would have been arrested
as the-the-"
He hesitated about pronouncing the
word, and appeared indignant. Then
he went on hurriedly:

The detective had just discovered
that the safe looked as if it had been
rified and that the watch chain of the
younger victim had been broken near
the buttcnhole of the vest, when the
door opened and police lieutenant
and patrolman came in, followed by
the medical examiner. While the po-

physicians attentions, and presently

the room he answered:
