BARLEY gave me a Disguised look.
"Or else, Pelt, the dog knew him. The
only way to reach the room where
Slyke slept was up those stairs. and
to reach the stairs he had to pass
through the living oom Remember
this. too. Lawrence said that Slyke
was not going to bed, but expected
another visitor. The butler says the
dog was in the room with him when
he let Lawrence out. Suppose the
other visitor came. If Slyke himself
admitted him, the dog would have
probably barked at least once-that
Is, unless he knew him."
'Then 1t might have been someone

Barley assented. and we discussed

three o'clock, Slyke was already dead

thirty minutes to undress Slyke and

heard was fired before two o'clock.
then the girl would not be suspected,
for she had not returned until three.
We eliminated her.
BARLEY then analysed the sister-in-
law. He said he felt sure she was
hiding something, for she had not

and seemed anxious to get him
of the house. Whether what she was

chuckled.

was the robbery of the yea before.
He had learned from the step-daugh-
ter Ruth that she had not positively
identified the men now In jail. but
had thought that one of the men was
similar In height and build TO one Of
the men she had seen In the room.
The room had been too dark for her
to see very clearly. MOI was that all

but found 1t empty. When she saw
him he was standing on the lower
step of the stairs leading to the living
room. There had evidently been a
struggle, and a gun went off just be-
fore she reached him. 1t was she who
had called the police, and Slyke had
opposed her doing so "as nothing had
been taken"
"You see how 1t looks, Pelt," he
said with a grin. "Slyke did not
want the police in at all. He did not
wish any action taken, either then or
later. He was nearer the men than
anyone else, yet he swore he could
not identify them. That makes me
believe that he knew who they were
and did not wan the matter looked
into"
did the girl tell you who found
that piece of newspaper" 1 asked.
"She said it was the chauffeur who
had called their attention to 1t. The
police do not seem to have made any
search that night, or in fact until
noon the next day. Then, with the
help of the chauffeur and the butler,
they searched the living room, and
the chauffeur directed their attention
to a piece of paper lying on the floor,
half under a rug. OF course, you see
what that leads to. For hours that
room had been unguarded, and any
one who wished could have gone in
there. Even the piece Of cloth was
not found for several days, strangely
nor did the police find the
footprints under the window until
three days later, although they
they had searched the spot
before"
