When old Peter Marvin died it
was assumed that his fortune would
be divided between his prOfligate
son Robert and his daughter Myra,
who, with her husband, John Will
son, were members of his household.
But his will, which should have
been in the safe in the living room
OF the Marvin mansion. could not
be found.
Suspicion at once centered on
Robert Marvin. The disappearance
of the will, coupled with the deCla-
ration Of Myra and her husband
that the quarrel between father and
son over the latters mode of life
had reached an acute stage a month
prior to the old mans death, indi-
Gated that the deceased had put a
codicil in his will disinheriting Rob
ert. and that Robert had taken the
will from the safe and destroyed it.
However. following publicity
which the affair received in the
newspapers, William Rothwell, a
neighbor. came forward with testi-
mony which altered the whole as
pect Of the case and caused the
Wilson's to seek the aid of Harvey
Hunt, a noted criminal investi-
gator.
Rothwell declared that on the
night following Marvin's death he
had been aroused from bed by his
telephone. This phone was at g
window facing the Marvin resi-,
dence. about 100 feet away.

Had Good Intentions.

The road to the place where all
wicked people go is said to be paved
with good intentions.
Otis Alexander, an automobile me-
chanic, had good intentions when
he got s25 from Benjamin Singer.
owner of car, to pay for some re-
pair work that he (Ots) could
not do.
Instead of paying the money out
to the proper person, Otis kept the
money, he admitted, and used it for
knicknacks. Then he told Singer
that he intended paying it back.
Singers car got tied up in storage
and it cost him a pretty penny to
get it Out-all because Otis had not
paid for the work as he promised.
That was enough to make anybody
feel peeved. Repair work costs
enough as it is without more ex-
pense being added by dishonest per-
sons.
Otis pleaded that he was willing
to pay back the money-if he could
get hold of it from his friends.
His excuses did not satisfy Judge
Hardison and he was sent to Jail for
thirty days to think it over.

Peter. George runs a store at
Fourth and G streets northwest.
Some time ago he engaged Will

other the work was not paid for.
Fowler sued George for the
money. The attorney for the former
suggested that he have an inspector
look over the work for the purpose
of being able to testify in court
about it.
Fowler took the inspector to the
place, he said, and while the man
was looking over the job, George
got sore
The first thing Fowler knew,
George had struck him and knocked
him against the wall and caused a

George was arrested and charged
with an assault. He denied it.
His explanation was that he had
ordered Fowler out and then pushed

The court considered that he was
guilty and fined him SIS.

THE significant points about the
! case Of the Psychic whisper
fngs" to Harvey Hunts mind were
the vauIted ceiling of Mrs. Derri-
yale's bedchamber, the peculiar po-
sition Of the old-fashioned hot-air
radiator set high in the wall, the
fact that the whisperings never Oc-
CURED unless Justine had gone up
to her room, and the fact that the
man who had sold Mrs. Derrivale
the new house, and bought the old
one-from her, would not resell the
latter except at a heavy prOht.
The vaulted ceiling and the posi-
tion of the radiator suggested the
room had acoustic properties, and
that a voice coming up the flue
would be heard at the bed on the
opposite side Of the room. AS stated,
the air was still balmy. So there
was no fi-e in the furnace. Mrs.
Derrivale had owned the property
but a shOEt time, and hence was
not aware ~ these acoustic prop
critics, as she would have been had
she ever heard anybody attending
to the furnace.
But the man who formerly owned
the house and who had an incentive
to force her to rebuy the other prop
erty was in position to know it.
Also he was in position to retain a
key to one of the entrances, and
naturally would wait until he saw
the light in Justine's room telling
him the lower floors were unoC-
cupied. before making his way to
the cellar to impersonate the psychic
voice Of the dead Derrivale boy.
