He'd out of the house and down the
terrace to the wall, which. with the
ATHLETIC training Of his earlier days. he
vaulted. His victim, at last overcome
from loss of blood. fell at the foot OF
the wall and died there.
But one shot had been fired. Rud-
ellie wanted 1t to appear as II that
shot had been fired from outside the
house. This. he figured. would cast
suspicion away from himself. But If he
merely returned to the terrace and fired
q shot through the window, that shot
would lodge in the wall over the desk
and thereby reveal that It was not the
shot which killed Ualri"k. SO he first
set up the plank and then Iircd the shot
through the window into that.
But Harvey Hunt SUSPECTED the STRAIT
egem not only because Of the depression
made by the plank. the b'otting paper
and the ashes which dropped from it..
but because shot fired from n window
eighteen feet away from the man sitting
at the desk could not have taken the
course in his body that the fatal bullet
did. The death shot must have been
fred from above llalriCk's shoulder by
somebody standing fairly close to him.
