Former Omaha Scribe
Is Appointed Business
Manager Of Iowa Paper

All F. O'Hern, a former { Omaha
newspaper man, has been appointed
business manager of the Davenport
(Iowa) Times, one Of the largest
papers between Des Moines and
Chicago. Mr.. O'Hern, who until
1904 was connected with Omaha
newspapers, had his first experience
in the newspaper business as CORE
spondent from Creighton univer-
, sity to an Omaha daily and various
college papers.
He was graduated from Creighton
university in 1908 with the degree
Of A. B., and became connected with
the staff Of The Bee, and later with
another Omaha paper. In 1904 he
became sports editor of the Daven-
port Times, and occupied that po-
sition until 1916, when he was ap-
pointed advertising manager.
Mr.. O'Hern succeeds Ike u. Sears
as business manager. Mr.. Sears will

But in the course of time the

separated. Mrs. Coffinberry re-

Then the qualms of Mrs. Nor

In the meantime Mrs. Cooley left
Virden and came to Rockford. Here

CHAPTER TX.
Murder or Suicide?

Trent had taken out thin note
book, and as they talked he, began to
make, with light, sure touches, a
rough sketch. plan of the ROOM l,
was a thing he did habitually on such
occasions, and often quite idly, but
now and then the habit had served
him to good purpose.
This was large, light apartment
at the corner of the house, with gen
erous window-space in two walls. A
broad table stood in the middle. As
one entered by the window the roll
top desk stood just to the left of it
against the wall. The inner door
was in the wall to the left, at the
farther end of the room; and was
faced by broad window divided
into openings of the easement type.
A beautifully carved old corner cup
board rose high against the wall be-
yond the door, and another cup
board filled a recess beside the fire
place. Some colored prints of Har-
unobu, with which Trent promised
himself better acquaintance, hung
on what little wall space was unoc-
cupied by books. These had very
uninspiring appearance of having
been bought by the yard and never
taken from their shelves. Bound
with a sober luxury, the great Eng
fish novelists, essayists, historians
and poets stood ranged like an army
struck dead in its ranks. There were
a few chairs made, like the cupboard
and table, of old carved oak; mod
ern arm chair and a swivel office
chair before the desk. The room
looked costly but very bare. Almost
the only portable objects were a
great porcelain bowl of wonderful
blue on the table, a clock and some
cigar boxes on the mantleshelf, and
a movable telephone standard on the
top of the desk.
"Seen the body?" inquired the in
spector.
Trent nodded. sand the place
where it lay" he said.
First impressions of this case
rather puzzle me-" said the Inspector.
From what l heard at Halvey I
guessed it might be common robbery
and murder by some tramp, though
such a thing is very far from COM
mon in these parts. But as soon as
began my inquiries I came on some
curious points, which by this time
I dare say you've noted for your
self. The man is shot in his own
grounds, quite near the house, to
begin with. Yet there's not the
slightest trace of any attempt at
burglary. And the body wasn't rob-
bed. In fact, it would be as plain
a case of suicide as you could wish
to see, if it wasn't for certain facts.
Here's another thing: for a month
or so past, they tell me Henderson
had been in a queer state of mind.
I expect you know already that he
and his wife had some trouble be-
tween them. The servants had no.
ticed a change in his manner to her
for long time. They say he was
a changed man, moody and silent
whether on account of that or some
thing else. The lady's maid says he
looked as if something was going
to arrive. It's always easy to re-
member that people looked like that,
after something has happened to
them. Still, that's what they say.
There you are again, then: suicide!
Now, why wasn't it suicide, Mr..
Trent?"
"The facts, so far as I know them,
