exactly, making WI sit at the
EAST END Of the kitchen table
while I rad to sit at the NORTH

North. East. South and West meant
absolutely nothing to me and
couldn't possibly have answered III
that way. Furthermore. I have
never been able to find out why
they were so particular about this
very definite seating arrangement.
It seems to prove nothing connect
ed with the plot but it does prove
conclusively that the detectives were
both asking and answering the
questions in their own way.
However, the check business Is

In this section the detectives
show more consideration than judg-
ment. Knowing my sick and weak
condition, and having proven for
themselves that I could not pull
Wu's pistol trigger with one hand,
they allow me to fire two fatal
shots using both hands for the
job. Then they further allow me
to show a little human emotion at
seeing my friend and protector
lying dead upstairs.
They forgot, however, to specify
who put the pillow over Mr.. Hsie's
face and the overcoat over DR..
Wong's face and body. They also
forgot to stage any struggle in the
kitchen, yet an overturned chair
and table were testified to as show
ing that an unmistakable fight had
taken place there as well as up
stairs. They also allow me to leave
by the front door, forgetting the
bloody hand mark on the cellar
door leading to the street.

Wan story tomorrow.
