Deductions ofHarvey Hunt

the master mind" of the band, sus-
pected him of t-eachery. The girl
had tried to warn Franklin Of this
when he phoned her. but he was
angry with her and sco1ding her SO
hard that she didn't get a chance.
While she was on her way to the
hotel, Morris, who also was regis
tered as a guest at the hotel. had
time to commit the murder she
feared, and in a manner which
probably would, not have been de-
tected but for the girls confession.

IL IL had not been for the
girl whose stockings were
twisted they never would have
known but what John Beck
walter had died q natural death.
BeckwaIter had been found dead
I'm his hotel room a few min
utes after heated converse
tion over the telephone. The
telephone operator could not
remember the number Of the
party with whom he had just
nnished speaking. She did say
however. that Beckwalter had .
during the conversation ordered
the woman on the other end Of
the wire to meet him fmne-
diateIy. The woman, the opera
tor said. had said she could not
dress so fast.
Hunt, seated I'm the hotel
lobby, noticed n young woman Z.
approaching the desk. His
eyes noticed her twisted stock
ings and he Immediately told
Boyle, the house detective,
.She's the girl you WANT But
how did Hunt know that hers
had been the voice on the wiref
Read his explanation below
No. GO.
Harvey Hunt deducted from ''Ths
Twisted Stockings" the girl wore
that she had dressed herself with
extreme haste and probably in a
preoccupied state of mind. Other
wise a woman as trim and neat in
appearance as she was would never
have allowed her hosiery to remain
SO twisted.
1t will be remembered that the
woman to whom Beckwalter had
spoken over the phone had pro-
tested that she couldn't dress and
get down to the hotel to see him as
as he wanted her to.
Her startled exclamation on hear
ing of the mans death might have
meant nothing by itself. but taken
with the fact that she had quite
obviously dressed in a rush before
coming to the hotel, struck Hunt as
significant.
The criminologist aided the house
detective in questioning her later,
and succeeded in catching her In
two or three damaging admissions.
following which she broke down
and explained the whole AFFAIR, in.
fluenced by a spirit OF revenge To
which she had feared at first to
give reign.
Beckwalter. or Franklin, to use
his real name, had with him the
proceeds Of a cleverIy operated rob-
berry In Cleveland Blakely Morris.
