And then Laneham turned back to the
others.

murder was committed. d. Hope-Will-

And as they went Laneham again took
up his tale:
ave are going to the Casa Reale. But
from there we shall enter the Casa
Grande through the door itself We've
examined the walls often enough and care
fully enough on the Fisher side; but we
never examined them on the Glasbury
side. We tested the paneling in the
Fisher room. Every oak strip was solid

till you remember that door may open
only in one direction. There is the same
paneling in Glasbury's study. We are
now going to examine it,"
The Inspector seemed about to speak,
but Laneham anticipated him. II know
what you are going to say, he continued.

wall, botray it from the Fisher side? 1t

you like by mathematical certainty. But
we are now here, and need talk no
more"
And, stepping into Casa Reale ele-
vator, they went on up.
MCGLOYNE was the first to reach the
paneled wall. He began to try it with
his hand. The third strip opened as on
hinge,-in truth a second look showed
that it was hung on three tiny hidden
hinges, and when the strip was turned
back it showed not merely the door edge
but the lock and bolt. Two feet to the
right, another upright strip hid the pins
of the door. And at the top and bottom
the horizontal strips, likewise hinged, did
the rest. The door was still unlocked;
and, taking hold of a sort of counter
sunk latch, the big Inspector swung it
open.
well, by gee!" he said; IAN whose
work is this?"
why, Glasbury told us that: it's the
work of 'Throaty,' the safe man."
Fright you are"
He'd been putting in hidden work all
his life-and heavy door and metal work,
at that. What easier than to do job
like this? AS you see, he simply cut the
section of the wall out. With his tools
he could go through such soft-tile stuff
like old cheese And when he had hinged
it up and fixed his paneling as cover, he
simply used that whole section of the wall
as the door itself. That is why-consid-
ering the safe-like solidity of the bolt
work-no amount of sounding told you
anything. But Wen come back to this

There seemed to be no possible way by

responsible for the attempt on the jewel

gave me my first guess at the common in

back with a bit of paper half hidden in

collaborating Mrs. Fisher let you do all

LIGHT co. ORDERED
TO TAKE CAR line
Judge Kelly's Decision May Pre-
vent Houck's Suit from
Going to Trial.

In an opinion handed down by
Judge Kelly in the Circuit Court at
Jackson yesterday, the Light & De-
velopment Company, which owns the
Missouri Public Utilities Company,
was ordered to take over the Cape Cir
ardeau Street Car Company in accord
ance with the contract it made when
the water company was given a new
franchise.
This suit was tried at a recent sit
ting of the court and has been under
advisement ever since. The decision
was handed down yesterday while Maj.
Giboney Houck, who has a similar suit
against the company, was in the court
room.
Maj. Houck sued to force the COM
pany to keep its contract to take over
the street car company or to pay dam
ages for breaking its agreement. His
case will probably come up for hear
ing this morning.
Whether or not the ruling of the
court will prevent the Houck suit from
being tried is not officially known, but
some lawyers believe it will. They say
that as Judge Kelly has ordered the
Missouri Public Utilities Company to
take over the road, the Houck suit
will be temporarily eliminated. Major
Houck's suit asks for the fulfillment
of the contract, or the assessment of
damages for FORGETTING the contract.
Major Houck will be in court this
morning, however, to prosecute his
case against the company. The deci7
sion of Jduge Kelly upheld one of Ma
jor Houck's contentious and that was
that the contract was binding. If the
court permits him to proceed with his
case, it is believed by lawyers that
the courts ruling will be advantageous
to Houck.
When this case was last before the
court, Judge Kelly continued the case
for the fifth or sixth time, which pro-
voked Mr.. Houck and he rebuked the
court. Major Houck told the Judge
of the pernicious habit the courts of
England had fallen into of hand
ing cases down from one gener-
alton to another. The Judge told Mr..

AT the conclusion of a heated ses-

Charlottesville and Cape Girardeau
withdrew from the organization, and
as an indication of their sincerity, the

President S. S. Thompson of Por-

in speaking of the result to a Tribune
reporter last evening, said:
"The ruling made at this meeting
did lot exactly suit the Charlottesville
manager, F. w. Rainey. 1t is a case
where the Cape protested the game
played last Sunday at Charlottesville.

while 1 did not fine either team, 1
ruled that they should play the game

would quit, and it was voted that both

money that had been deposited at the

Cape's protest in which they contend
