''That isn't necessary with me-"
said Barbara, with dignity.
The streets of Indianapolis were
quite black, except for a yellow
globe of light from street lamp
here and there.
Bleak houses with unlighted win
dows stood in rows on either side.
The racer turned from one deserted
street into another. They passed not
even a milk wagon.
"Ugh!" shivered Barbara, Looks
like a city of the dead--feels like one,
too"
Speaking Of the dead" answered
Bob, 'this is nice mess down at
Nellie Marie's place. The woman
plugged him, pretty as peach.
They say his head fell over on a
wine glass, which cut a great cash
across his face. But he was dead al
ready, so he didn't even bleed"
Barbara shivered slightly again,
and shot a glance at him. what
did she kill him for?"
Because she loved him, she says"
Barbara was silent.
Followed him here from Chicago.
Caught him at Nellie Marie's, with
another dame, and plugged him."

The woman turned. glaring at him.
but she went out Of the rooom with
out another word. The officer
winked at Bob and beckoned to him.
Barbara found herself alone in
the room, with the blanket-covered
body and the silent woman in the
alcove. The stiffness was unbear-
able.
Pardon me-" she said, advancing
slowly toward the alcove. II am
Barbara Hawley Of The Telegraph.
Can you tell me some Of the details
Of the murder? Did any one see her
fire the shot?"
The woman neither spoke nor
moved. Barbara walked around in
front of her and stopped. The
woman was staring straight ahead.
her hands clasped in her lap. Her
face was pale and finely nodded and
her hands were delicate.
The woman went on staring at the
wall. evidently unaware Of Bar
bara's presence.
Pardon me-" said Barbara again,
but what can you tell me about the
murder?"
The woman stirred and turned her
eyes upward toward Barbara. They
were dark eyes, heavily ringed with
shadows.
What did you say?" she said to
Barbara. Her voice was clear and
well modulated.
IT said. Can you tell me about
the MURDER?
At the last word. the woman
shrank slightly, and lowered her
eyes to the stain on the wall at
which she had ben staring.
There's nothing to tell" she said
YEARLY. II shot him. That's ALL"
Barbara gasped. you" she be-
gan and stopped. She looked more
closely at the woman, and noted that
her black dress was beautifully cut
and a rich material, her hose were
| sheer and her slippers exquisite. A
cloak Of black fur lay on the floor
beside her. Barbara looked at the
door, through which the spangles
had gone.
Without warning, the woman
wheeled about. They're trying to
make me tell who am and who my
family are. But I'll never do it, I'll
die first. It's none of their business.
He left me and I shot him. 1 loved
him and it's my affair."" She lapsed
again into silence.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-12-22

Barbara was bewildered and en-
barrassed. She was searching for
words that would not strike too
cruelty upon the ears Of the gentle
woman before her. when the door
opened again and Bob came in.
Barbara crossed the room. who
was that awful woman in spangles?"
she whispered.
That's Nellie Marie" answered
Bob. She's run this place for years.
Has dance room behind this one
and her record includes about six
murders in the place But Nellie
Marie always goes clear. Nobody
could ever connect her with any Of
them.
This time, though, / think they've
got the goods on her for liquor. at
least. Hope the police viii paddock

Then, nodding his head toward the
alcove, Bob whispered. "Will she
talk?' And when Barbara shook her
head, he continued, They've found
letters in her bag. She's the sister
Of Senator Blodgett, all right. It's
great story. You pick up all the
atmosphere you can and prepare to
do sob story on her. AS soon as we
have talked to the cops and looked
around a bit, Wen beat It back to
the office"
The woman in the alcove was ris-
ing. She gathered her cloak up from
the floor and with stately gesture
flung it around her shoulders. Her
head was very high.
Il heard what you said" she cried.
And 1t is a great story. 1t will
ruin my brother and my mother.
But it can't do anything to me. I'm
done for, anyway, and don't care"
Then. more quietly, with a wistful
look at Barbara, she added. TITS life
that did 1t. You'll learn. It's life.
and you can't beat life. no matter
how clever you think you are"
Barbara met her eyes and turned
toward the door. Bob followed her.
outside, the policeman offered to
show them where the shot was fired.
You go with him, Bob" said Bar
bara. "I'll wait in the car.
Eyed by a group of evil-looking
men on the opposite side of the street
Barbara climbed into the racer.
The words Of the murderess were
still in her ears-"Youll learn. You
can't beat life"

Bob looked at her. Well" he
said, you're talking like a new

know what you're talking about. ;"
The racing car stopped in front
of an old brick. building block long
which was divided into separate
apartments by numerous wooden
stairs DIES cending directly to the
sidewalk
Barbara hesitated a moment as
Bob started for the steps. He paid
no attention to her reluctance, but
grasped her arm and ran.
+. The rickety wood of the staircase
creaked and gave under their feet.
A knock on the blackened door
brought instant response, Standing
just inside, when the door opened,
was a broad.shouldered policeman.
Hello, Charley" cried Bob, and
brushed past him. dragging Bar
bara by one arm. The long narrow
hall was bordered on the right side
with a row of closed doors.
Bob paused by one of them and
shot an ina uiring glance at the Of
ficer, who nodded in reply.
Barbara followed Bob into the
room. It was almost filled with
tables and chairs. stacked upon each
other. On a bench by the window
lay something covered with blan-
lxet. Barbara. turned her eyes away
from it.
| Then she saw an alcove. In 1t
sat a woman, with her back to-
ward the door She did not move
as they entered. But the door be-
hind them burst open again.
Barbara turned in time to see a
large woman in spangels swagger
into the room and up to Bob. Her
face was caked with powder and
rouge, and six-inch earrings dangled
from her ears to her shoulders. She
began to swear at Bob, with a flow
OF language that both Mortified and
fascinated Barbara. ST.

what sort of creature do you

Bob looked at her with a plying
air. ''Well." he drawled, Il never
heard Of murderers belonging to any
distinct race Of animal. She'll be

Barbara caught the sarcasm in his
voice. She fell silent.
They were speeding now through
the foreign quarter of Indianapolis.
