angle on the case.
1.-THE question now is said the

through the tiny trapdoor and down
the rickety ladder TO leave her
bones in the cellar
Keyes and his lieutenants were
puzzled also by the existence of
the trapdoor and the ladder and
will make thorough investigation
10 determine why and how these
ttappings came into being. The
murder theory was definitely aban
doned however, when a physician
held that the bones were bovine and
not human. The prosecutor and his
gum shoe squad FASTENED TO the
house of mystery at South Pasa

of the late Mccullough Graydon

Neither the Shenandoah nor the

The new dirigibles will have Il

gasoline. The dirigibles will be con

where workmen are already busy

Not so much the radio marvels and

One group maintains it's running
