King eyes opened wide. Miss Potter
alone remained unmOyed. Even the

demanded, why do you say that?'
BARLEY glanced at him as if he had
expected man with legal training to
have better understanding. and in a
weary voice explained: You all recog-
Dlze thar Brif'eur was killed as he was
about to testify. Whoever did the
deed was afraid of what he knew. He
could not, Of course, have foreSeen that
the lights would go out; but when they
did he seized the opportunity. He
feared that the chauffeur would tel
who killed Slyke. And while he might
not have been able TO prove his state
ment. he knew enough tc be dangerous.
For myself, / believe the chauffeur
could have told US, and that he was
killed to shut his mouth"
The district attorney made a little
gesture of dissent. Il see that; but, on
the other hand, how do we know that
BrifIeur himself did not Kin Slyke?
He said, you remember, 'Slyke muir
dered-I-killed-' Maybe he killed
him himself"
Black nodded an emphatic agree
ment. This accorded with the theory
i he had advanced the night before. !
could see that BARLEY, however, was
not convinced. AS he made no com
ment, the attorney continued, "He
said nothing more; but may we not
say that, if he had finished the sen
tence, what he would have said would
have been, Slyke murdered.
KILLED HINT"
Then why was the chauffeur
killed. BARLEY asked with sarcas-
tic smile.
The lawyer shook his head slowly.
and answered that he advanced his
argument as a theory only.
Il have an idea" BARLEY said, that
If the chauffeur had finished the sen
tence II would have been 'Slyke muir
dered. I know who did it,"
As l listened TO both of their theo-
ries, one seemed to me just as likely
TO be correct as the other.
