Here's the layout:
You know Dalton was murdered
in his room at a boarding house.
The murderer hadn't even taken the
trouble to close the door, for we
found it open.
We've got the man we think did
II, but whether he did or not all
hinges on what time the murder
was committed. See?
Wen, now, here's the point.
Dalton's room was on the left-hand
side Of the hall, as you go toward
the back Of the house, pretty near
the back end Of the hall. About
the middle of the hall, on the right
hand side is the room of old Elisha
Grubner. Seeg
AT the front end of the hall
there's a window. Now that night
the khade Of this window is pulled
down, but there's a lighted lamp
on a table at the back end of the
hall and anybody on the second
floor Of the house across the street
can see anybody that's in this hall
by their shadow. Do you get me?
Well we've got a woman that
livesf in that house that says at
about 9:45 that night she sees old
Grubner step out Of his room on
the tight, walk back down the hall
and, stand looking a minute toward
the 'left, about where DaltOn's door
is. then he comes back down the
halr and goes back into Mis- own
room.
NOW we've put it up TO Grubner.

Deductions ofHarveyHunt
By Philip Francis Nowian.

Apparently the man mention
ID In The Nailed Window" case
had committed suicide, for the
snly window in tie room where
the body was found was secure
~ nailed from the inside and
the door was similarly bOIted.
Harvey Hunt thwarted the sui
eide theory and insisted that
the victim had been murdered
The man was shot through the
head. The revolver was free
from finger prints although the
victim did not wear gloves. How
did the murderer escape from
the room. Harvey Hunts de-
ductiOns were as follows;
xxx.
THE key to the mystery OF The
L Nailed Window" lay in the
downward angle Of forty-hve de-
grees, at which the nail in the upper
window had been driven in, coupled
with the fact that it moved easily
in its hole
1t will be remembered that Har'
vey Hunt was able to extract 1t Witf
his fingers. From this he deduceC
the only possible explanation; tina
the murderer, having locked the
door and piled the furniture agains
it, then proceeded to nail the lowel
window securely in position. Their
he drove a nail downward through
the upper window frame and into
the woodwork while the window
was closed; that is, pushed upward
at the top Of the window opening
Then, probably by means of pail
Of pliers, he had loosened this mail
in its hole. Lowering the window
10 climb out he had only to insert
the nail again in the window frame
There would be no hole in the side
Of the window opening for 1t t
slip into, so II would rest loosl!
in the window until the murderer
having climbed out, pushed the win
dow up to the top again. Then tht
loose nail. pointing downward
would fall into the hole prepared
for it in the side Of the window
opening; thus fastening the window
securely.

or eight weeks.
Mr.. Schwarzenbek is we'll known in

men spent about three months in
this vicinity compiling data on the
Hewitt field for the report They also
had on display in their office at the
rooms of the Ardmore Chamber of
Commerce the peg model Of the Hewitt

tention throughout the country.
Mr.. Kerwan is well known in oil
circles. He became associated with the

that time he was employed in Cali

engineer with the Associated Oil
Company for a period Of years: with
the Oil Well Commission for Fresno
county for a period of . years; and
with the California State Mining Bu-

the first OF 20 deputies appointed with
the state mining bureau TO deal with
the drilling and maintenance of oil
wells. He spent one year in Japan
as engineer with the Nippon On

lens. He was very successful in his
work abroad. 1t IS interesting to note
at the lime Mr.. Kerwan was in Japan
the oil there was worth $40 to $13

RUSSIAN COUNT TELLS
OF EVILS OF REDS

Corvallis, Oregon, Jan. 21.-The only
way to fight bolshevism is through
education" and religion Count Ilya

the famous Leo Tolstoi, told a crowd
of Oregon agricultural college students,
faculty and townspeople at the open

Count Tolstoi described conditions
in Russia as he had recently seen
them. He declared that one great
accomplishment of the bolsheviki was
that of printing money, the only limi.
being a shortage OF paper and print-
ing presses. The people carry their
money in baskets, he said. and those
travelling between Petrograd and Mos
COW often have to get off the train
and cut wood for the locomotive, SO
great is the shortage of fuel.

shevild is commendable, but their
methods for its attainment are Grim
