CHAPTER LIV
THE EYnlnSiOn

Deke came slowly down the steps
Of his home. Nearly a week had
passed since he had written to Joyce.
1t had been a week of strenuous
work and real anxiety. He had not
lost hope of hearing from her.
Whatever she writes, he
thought, will be the truth after all
this time. And If she thinks I'm to
be put off, why I'll clean up this
business mess and go after her the
way I've gone after the chemical
business. Perhaps the letter will
come today"
He backed the bright Stutz out
of the garage and into the drive.
Turning to watch his path he saw
a messenger parking his bicycle
against the curb in front of the
house.
Joys letter" he exclaimed aloud.

ing down at Catherine Sherwin's
letter. How plausible it all sounded.
joys silence, her delay in writing
to him. Her feeling that when she
became rich through her inheritance
she would form a free will union
with Carter. He went into the Ii
brary and looked through the accu-
mutation of newspapers. There it
was. Joys picture stared out at
him. He read the story through
carefully. GATHERINGS letter sound
light of the newspaper account of
the happening.
Deke took GATHERINGS letter in his
hand. If it were true it spelled the
end of all hopes.
He turned his steps toward his
own room. He could not go to the
Office until he had thought this
thing through. II only Joyce were
here to plead for herself. If only
she had given him some sign.
From his room he turned to the
third story where his old laboratory
still waited for him whenever the
whim struck him. Here he had
fought out his boyish battles, and
found relief from his youthful trou-
bles in the\tes tubes and chemicals
which always seemed to him tools
to create with.
He opened the door. A cool musty
smell greeted him. Still holding
Catherine Sherwns letter he went
to the windows and threw them
open. Then he turned back to the
hard laboratory bench where he had
made his first experiments with
acids and bases.
A book of simple formulate lay
face downward where he had left
it the last time he had worked here.
He looked at it idly and found him
self half consciously reaching for
tubes, scales, graduates, the ingredi-
ents that the experiment called for.
I've got to think" he said half
aloud. 81 can think clearer if I'm
working" and he began to assemble
his chemical problem.
Painstakingly he measured his nj
trio acid. With care he added the
other ingredients and set them to
heat over a slow flame. Then while
the chemicals glowed and changed
color over the slow heat, he watched
them unseeingly. and thought Of
Joyce.

himself. Suppose that everything

Joyce has actually given herself to
Carter, does that change my love
for her?"
He considered this for a long
time.

of having her for my wife, if she
loves Carter. But it doesn't change
my loving her"
Gould you love her IL she came

little. He wrestled with a jealousy
that threatened to consume him at
the thought of Joyce coming to him
from Carriers arms. Sweat stood out
on his forehead at this picture.
Then give her up. Never see her
again. Blot her out of your life, "
an inner voice whispered.
Deke dropped his head on his arms
and groaned. Il can't give her up,
he said between his teeth.
He grew calmer. A thousand ap-
pealing pictures of Joyce showed
themselves to him. Suddenly he
thought of that long ago day when
they had been driving and he had
asked her if she had read "Comus. 3"
They had been speaking of Carter.
It's about a girl who gets lost in
a wood fun of evil things. But they
have no power over her because of
her goodness. They can't even tempt
her. he had told her.

note in her voice.
Yes, l do, Joyce" had been his
ready answer.

What good would it do? Listen,

After hours of questioning Mrs.
Snyder confessed. She admitted an
intimacy with Gray and said that
he had hidden in the house until
they returned from the party. After
she had put Snyder to bed she and
Gray committed the crime together.
Gray was detained by police in
Syracuse. At first, he stoutly denied
any connection with the murder. He
had what seemed to be an airtight
alibi. Clerks in the hotel where he
was stopping remembered that he
had called from his room at about
the time he would have been in
Queens Village if he had committed
the murder. His bed was rumpled
as if he had slept there the night
of the crime.
Police brought Gray to New York
of steady denial he suddenly con-
fessed his part in the staying. He
told how he had struck Snyder over
the head with window sash weight
while Mrs. Snyder looked on.
Although he had confessed, police
were not satisfied until they explained
his alib Haddon Gray, a Syracuse
friend with whose two children Gray
shot marbles on the night following
York. He had substantiated Gray's
story of his Syracuse movements
Taken before the Queens county grand
jury he admitted that he had aided
Gray prepare his alibi in the belief
that he was helping him keep from
his wife knowledge of an engagement
with a woman friend. He admitted
that it was he who had imperson-
ated Gray in calling from his hotel
room and had otherwise aided the
hoax
Both Gray and Mrs. Snyder repudi-
ated their confession when brought
into court, claiming they were under
duress. The love that had joined
them in the killing seemed to have
cooled in the several days they had
been in prison, for they did not
speak to each other in court. They
blamed each other for their plight.
One theory advanced for the motive
was that Mrs. Snyder expected tos
collect her husbands $4,000 insurance
policy, and then flee with Gray
Another possible motive advanced
by the police was that Snyder had
learned of their intimacy and that
they had killed him on this account.
A bottle of liquor containing
bichloride of mercury was found in
Gray's possession on the train trip
from Syracuse
