would not induce him TO withhold
what ought 80 be known. ChiV-
airy had no place In this great
drama.
Sitting by the desk in the IL

what he he'd heard. seen and knew.
The men gave an u%nwinking atten-
lion, now and then stopping him 10

the matter was thrashed out be
came to an open admission with
the remark:
We'll, you have only II person
here who had the p~rOvocation nee
essary to commit murder.
Bassett made no answer. II his
duty required him to tell all he
knew, II did not require him 10
give his own opinions.
RawsOn, who was smoking, his
long, loose-jointed frame slouched
down in an armchair, took his cigar
from his mouth:
"Of course, the woman's the first
person you'd think Of. She had the
necessary provocation and the state
of mind. But the way she came In

scribes it-dOesn't look to me Ike

Sounds too genuine, too like

Don't you think it's nat&ral to
get excited If you've killed some
one?'
Eyes. but not just that way"
Williams leaned over the arm Of
his chair:
You got to remember something
about these people, RawSon-and
it cOunt big-they're all actors"
Bsssett spoke up quickly:
mo, she wasn't acting. You'd
have known that if you'd seen her.
What she did was NATURAL wom-
IN suffering from a fearful shock"
Couldn't an actor put that on?"
yes. some could. but I'm certain
she wasn't"

He seemed all right. But can't

On the price bulges which develop
