BURGLAR MURDERS WELL
KNOWN ACTRESS
Miss Daisy Lutan Found Mysteriously
Shot in her Luxurious Apart
ment in the Granddeck.
Marks on Throat Where
Murderer Had Clicked Her
Police Arrest John S. Nelson, a Clerk,
Out of Work, in Whose Rooms
They Found q Revolver.

Daisy Lutan, an actress, whose mat
rimonial affairs recently brought her
much notOriety, was found last night
murdered in her apartment In the
Granddeck. She had been instantly
killed by a bullet wound through the
heart, and there were marks on her
throat where her assailant had tried
to choke her. John S. Nelson, a clerk
out Of work, who had been acting as
caretaker for n Of the tenants in
the building, was arrested.
There was blood on his coat when
Detectives Cullen and Edwards took
him prisoner, and they found In his
room a revolver with one chamber
empty hidden under a pile Of shirts
In the dresser.
The apartment Nelson is occupying
is directly above that of Miss Lutan.
The police theory Is that Nelson let
himself into the apartment by swing
Ing down from his window, and that
Miss Lutan, returning unexpectedly,
found him ransacking her rooms.
The crime was discovered by James
Wick. superintendent Of the apart
ment house, who was in the elevator
when he heard screams followed by a
shot. Getting out Of the elevator to
investigate he found Nelson at the
door of the LutaB apartment.
Nelson glibly explained that he had
heard a shot and was trying to see
where II had come from. Mr.. Wick's
suspicious were aroused by his man
ner, and he made Nelson come with
him into the apartment and kept him
there until the arrival Of the police.
Little Is known at the Granddeck
about young Nelson, aud he stubborn
ly refuses to make any statement
about himself. He was employed only
a few days ago by Rufus Gaston rs
caretaker for his apartment. As Mr..

young fellow. YOU are up against 1t

"Why NOT? l never saw Miss Lutan

Fortunately l had had the fore

of money. This enabled me to send
out of the prison and have a luncheon
brought in. Making myself as COM
Portable as possible, | sat down to wait
for German, occupying my mind mean
while with thinking Of Barbara Brad
ford.
The thing uppermost in my mind
was how to prevent her from being in
any way involved. She must never
know that only by her testimony would
| be able to prove an alibi. Should
she ever realize this, l knew that her
sense of justice would make her come
forward and tell the truth, even
though 1t meant the loss of her own
reputation and the scandaIizing Of all
her acquaintance. She must not be
permitted to talk.
She must not even try to see me
while I was in prison.
The one way-the only way-I saw
by which I could escape from the laws
tolls without duplicating her was
through the speedy rounding up of the
band of criminals who 1 was positive
were responsible for Miss Lutan's
murder as well as for all our troubles.
l was relying on German to do this.
A keepers voice interrupted my
chain of thought.
YOU'RE wanted down in the counsel
ROOM" he said. "There is a visitor for
you"
"A visitor" ! cried excitedly. "Who
ia IT." I thought Of course 1t must be
German come to my rescue.
ITS your sister," he announced.
My sister! A thrill shot through
me at his announcement. I knew Of
course it could not be my sister. Both
Of them were mere children far away
In the West. 1t must be Barbara.
Undoubtedly she had resOrted to this
ruse to make sure Of seeing me while
at the same time %conceallng her own
identity.
Overjoyed at her coming, delighted
to know that ! had read her heart
Alright and that my confidence in her
trust in me was justified. l fastened
witt the keeper to meet her.
Delighted as ! was at her coming, I
was formulating In my mind how best
to make it clear to her that she must
leave at once and that no matter what
happened she must keep her lips
closed about the events of last night.
Under 40 circumstances would I per-
nit her to sacrifice herself to save me.
In the counsel room a yelled figure
awaited me. ! sprang forward eager
~ toward her. The woman standing

stood there astoundeu. II was
not Barbara. 1t was her sister Claire.
CHAPTER X.

For a full minute Claire Bradford
and l stood there observing each 9th
er. Even before q word was spoken
I think we both sensed our mutual
distrust. As I studied her, I was. try
ing to conjecture what could have
been the motive so impelling that she
had dared to come even within prison
walls to see me. Had Barbara sent
her? l doubted 1t. I was sure that
more than likely her visit was to
plead with ME to keep silent about
her part In the tragedy. I was GER
tain she was going to ask me to pledge
my word to tell n n Of her second
visit to the CASTOR apartment.
Yet as l studied her weak, beautiful
face, SO like Barbara's and yet so diff.
ferent. with Its sensuous mouth and
rowing, brilliant eyes, I still was won
dering how 1t was possible for n girl
of her refinement and social position
to have become enmeshed with such
common criminals as the two en-
ployees Of the Granddeck. Wick and
the telephone girl.
ITO what am I indebted for the
honor Of this visit" I asked at length.
adding with some sarcasm, from my
sister,"
Never for a second had I imagined
that other than a selfish motive could
have brought her thither, and the con-
versation that followed was all the
more surprising to mi on that &C.
count.
II had to say I was your sister,"
she answered quickly. II wanted to
be sure of seeing you and I did not
wish anyone to recognize me. You
know, I believe, who I amp
you are Barbara's sister," I re-
piled.
THAT'S why I came" she cried, "for
Barbara's sake. I have c0me to plead
with you for her."
"To plead-with me-for her." I
echoed in establishment.
"Yes," she cried p%assionately.
"She's young. She's little more than
a child. She did not realize what she
was doing. You must not let anyone
know you even know her. You must
never. never tell"
"Never tell what?" l answered nom
committally.
She answered with a cOnvulsive sob.
l thought for a little that she was
going to break down completely. Her
manner and the pallOr of her face
attracted the attention of the keeper
who n in the room with us, and he
started forward as II expecting her
to fall in a faint. ResOlutely she
pulled herself together and went on
in calmer tones.

that she is completely fascinated by
you. l know that she has been meet
ing you in the park. l know that
she has lunchcd with you at the

crimsoned-"I know that she has even
visited you in your rooms late at
night. Oh, please. please. I beg of

in you, do not take advantage of a
