How do you know" 1t was sher-
if Potter speaking. He scraped his
feet nervously on the floor. How
do you know Carroll?'

chair forward. His eyes bored I'M
waveringly into those of Mart Far

ginning I was biased. I started my
| investigation with the premise that
Stanford Forrest was innocent. I can
thank Porter Devarney for his sis

of Stanford Forests innocence; and
this is what he said

knew he was at the cabin, he did not
mention to her that there were
strangers at the lodge = ID she sub
sequently went there.
| "But the telling point that Porter
makes was his statement that he
walked farther down the road toward
the village where his folks and Mart
Farnam live and that he was walk

shot at some sparrows. And he said
quite naively that he saw Mart Far

TONED that while she was on her
way to the lodge she met Mart Far
nam walking away from the lodge.
his own statement substantiated that.
he said that he had been at a place
called Nixon's Cross Roads drinking
moonshine liquor. He also said that
he went straight home, which state
ment was given the lie by young De-
varneys remark that Farnam had
turned around.
In brief-Farnam had met the
girl. waited until she had gone con-
| siderable distance, and had then
turned to follow her!
Both he and the girl admitted that
they had quarrelled more or less
when they met on the road. They
| both said that he was drunk. There
fore, there must have been some sin
lister motive in his trailing of her
/. . but most important of all, if he
followed her and she went to the
lodge, he too, must have gone to the
lodge!
| "And having once convinced my
self that Mart Fa-nam had gone
| back to the lodge on the evening of
the ninth, I remembered that he had
lied about it. And no man lies about
a thing like that unless he has some
thing to conceal.
! Mart Farnam once involved in my
mind it didn't take me long to re-
me mber purely physical clews which
I had noted more or less subcon-
scieusly and stored away for future
reference.

swiftly, in supposed terror, grabbed
the screen door open. >.
And the chances are ninety-nine
out OF hundred that a man in such
circumstances and in such a hurry
would slam himself on the forehead
with the screen door. He would run
right into it.
But there is one clew which is
more important than all the others
Jim will recall that when the ice-box
top fell it smashed a bottle of i'm
ported olive oil which had evidently
been taken out by Mrs. Forrest and
placed on the ledge. The falling COW
er which smashed Mart's hand also
smashed that bottle of olive oil. The
oil was spattered for a considerable
distance. He rose, strobe across to
Farnam and lifted the long left. arm
above the mans head.
"There!" he said. And his finger
pointed to the large greasy splotch
under the left armpit which he had
noticed the day he arrived in Kar-
max.
He, himself, said that he did not
know there were strangers at the
lodge. Yet he killed a woman there,
and he must have struck instantly
as he entered the screen door to the
back porch. Why, then, would he
kill this strange woman!
"And the answer came to me after
careful thought:-He killed Mary
Forrest without knowing that it was
Mary Forrest!
Il knew that Mart Farnam was
deeply in love with Esther Devarney.
l knew that she had rejected him in
favor of George Averyt. I knew, from
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1921-07-28

that the shoes which made them were
run down at the heel. You may look
at Farnam's shoes yourself; you can
see the answer to that.
More, I had noticed at first, and
I noticed again later that Farnam' s
shoes had two red splotches. Looked
like clay at first. But those splotches
were made by blood as the body of
the dead woman slid to the floor. Now
then you will remember, Jim, that
| the day Farnam drove us out to the
place he drove with his right Hand
entirely. Scarcely used his left. The
third and fourth fingers of his left
| hand were badly bruised. The finger
nails were blackened and looked very
ugly.
| The way the crime happened was
this: Mrs. Forrest had gone to the
ice-b she was bending over it and
holding it open. She was struck from
behind by Farnam. She fell But
he, before he struck, had braced him

with his left hand.

fingers Tof Farnam's left hand. Which
explains that part of it,
| Now for the next. You will notice
that there are traces over Farnam' s

Memory of that bruise came back to
me in a flood after I once suspect

David Carroll, detective, is shocked
by the receipt of a telegram from
Stanford Forrest, his lifelong friend
who had left three days before on
his honeymoon, stating that the bride
of three days had been murdered and
he, Forrest was in Jail, charged with
the crime. Carroll, with his assistant
Jim Sullivan, Immediately rushed to
Karnak, South Carolina, where For
rest was in Jail, where they interview
the latter. They are Informed that
shortly before she was murdered, Mr..
Forrest had received a letter from
Bennett Hemingway, an interruptions
bucketshop operator and former ad-
mirer.
The letter contained sarcastic
reference to the character of Mrs.
Forrest, but never had been shown to
her. FORE. .t,lls the detectives that
he came home early on the evening
OF the third day after the wedding
and found his bride had been stabbed
to death by an ice pick.
Sullivan feels the same as the ma
tives that Forrest is guilty of the
crime, which theory, is not sustained
by Carroll. Later developments show
that Hemingway was in the cabin
used by the FORESTS after it had been
leased from Franklin Furness, an ar
fist. Unknown 20 Carroll and Forrest,
a man giving his name as Heston, had
been in Karnak for three months
prior to the crime, claiming to have
bought the Furness lodge but failing
to have the deed recorded.
Carroll sent a telegram to Furness,
who was in Denver, asking If the
lodge had been sold or leased to Hes
ton. A reply from Furncss said the
lodge had not been sold.
The detectives then turn their at
tention to Conrad Heston. to whom
suspicion seems to point. A CONVEX
sation with Mart ,Farnham, local
character, who does odd Jobs about
the town and who hates Heston be-
cause the latter cut him out with his
girl, brings out the fact that Heston
was in the woods near the Furness
lodge the c.-eaing Of the tragedy. In
vestigation reveals foot prints about
the cabin which show that someone
had walked to the cabin and ran
away from it. The girl. Esther De-
varney. has been characterized as

detectives discover evidence which
