WATCH IS CLUE TO
15.YEAR MYSTERY
7 Tmepiece Found in Skeleton
That Had Been Washed
From Shallow Grave.

With the initials. ~. ]. t." on an old
silver watch .as their only clue, the
Washington police today are working
to solve the fifteen-year-old mystery of
the identity of a dead man washed
upon the beach on the Maryland shore
Of the Potomac. near Indian Head
The watch Is In the possession OF
naval officers at Indian Head. who are
cooperating with the Maryland au-
thorities in an endeayor to solve the
mystery. 1t was recovered from a per-
fectly preserved skeleton found by an
eiEploye of the naval proving ground
on Stump Neck The clothing, in a
fair state Of preservation. hung upon
the skeleton. which was bare of flesh.
The watch was in one OF the pockets
When the discovery was made last
Friday it was believed that the au-
thorities had a new mystery on their
hands, but George Wheeler, An old
ward and explained that the skeleton
probably was that Of a man who was
given shallow burial on the shore If
teen years ago. Wheeler was on the coro-
ner's jury that Investigated the case at
the time. The body could not be iden-
titled and 1t was buried in bank on
the shore. Wheeler took investigators
to the spot, and the old excavation
was found. Washing out Of the shore
by rain and tide had caused a cave In
that liberated the skeleton.
Wheeler can not account for the
watch or the apparent fact that it was
missed or overlooked in the first In
vestigation.

Evelyn disappeared for the night.
When Poole returned to the IL
brary, after Jacobson's departure,
he shut the door behind him and
stood fora while before the safe,
a determined light in his eyes.

He sat down at the desk. with
his head plunged in his hands.
Spread out beneath his elbows lay
one of the Winthrop diary vol

tic entries. He knew that he had
exhausted the last resource from
that volume. YEARLY he turned
a page or two, and came upon
some loose pages OF memoranda
inserted between the leaves.
These. too, had been searchingly
examined. The one now beneath
his eye was a torn sheet of fools

another, and another. TO which
Squirting answered In low
tones.

Coming down the steps of the
entrance to the hospital Poole
found Evelyn awaiting him in the
motor car. On the seat beside
her, guiltily confronting him, was
his abandoned suit case.
"If this hospital maintained a
ward for demented persons, / GER
tainly shouldn't have troubled to
come back for you" was the tart
greeting which Evelyn accorded
him. Are you sure you are once
more quite yourseiff"
Poole let the question hang fire
while he mounted into the ma

of the seat beside her. The car
started forward. and as Il coursed

As they approached the rail-
road station the train was just
drawing out, carrying over to VIII
ton the few passengers who had
changed from the down state ex-
press a few moments earlier. The
machine halted before the cross
ing while the train rumbled past.
One of the passengers at a wind
ow caught sight of Poole, and
leaning out waved frantically at
him. I've got it, I've got it,"
he yelled.
Poole, suddenly recognizing the
man, leaped to his feet, and
shouted back, i've got 1t, tool"
The train swept past, leaving
Evelyn again staring wfde-eyed at
her seemingly demented compan-
ion. You certainly have got ID, !"
she commented, severely, as
Poole resumed his seat.
That was Jacobson.

Der me to Genevieve. I'm off to
the hospital to see my man." The
machine glided away.
Poole sought the interior of the
station, purchased ticket to
Windsor, Vermont, and in the in
terchange of words with the rail-
road agent discovered that the
three-twelve train was thirty min
utes late. He was pacing the plat
form when Evelyn, having made
her visit to the hospital, came
again into view on the way home.
Catching sight of Poole, she
turned the car toward the sta
tion.
you've been waiting all this
time!" she exclaimed.

planned Poole. How did you find

into a bedroom where on a white,
iron cot Joe Squirting lay.
