Exactly And the same device has
been used In scores of murders. In the

mechanisms employed. And 1t will in
terest you. sergeant--in view of what
am about to tell you--to know that the
revolver was held in place by q boot
Jack"
He closed the volume, but held It on
his lap.
There, unquestionabiy Is where Ada
got the suggestion for Rex's murder.
She and Rex had probably discovered
the hidden passageway between their
rooms years ago. imagine that as chill
dren-they were about the same age,
don't v know--they used Il 2s a secret
account for the name by which they
both knew tour private mall box. ;
And, given this knowledge between Ada
and Rex the method of the murder be-
comes perfectly clear. Tonight found
an oId-fashioned bootjack In Ada's
clothes closet-probably taken from To-
bias library. It's width, over all was just
six inches, and 1t was little less than two
feet long-it fitted perfectly into the
communicating cupboard. Ada, follow
ing Gross diagram. pressed the handle
of the gun tightly between the tapering
claws of the bootjack, which would have
held it like wise. then tied string to
the trigger. and attached the other end
to the inside of Rex's panel, so that
when the panel was opened wide the
revolver, being on hair trigger. would
discharge straight along the shaft and
inevitably kill any one looking into the
opening. When Rex fell with bullet
In his forehead the panel Mapped back
into place on its spring hingle; and
second later there was no visible evil
dence whatever pointing to the origin
OF the shot. And here we also have the
explanation for ReX's calm expression
of unawareness. When Ada returned
with us from the district attorneys Of
fee, she went directly to her room, re-
moved the gun and the bootJack. hid
them in her closet and came down to
the drawing room to report the foot

the signs of several types Of criminal
and the symbols were n1eaninglessly
jumbled. I rather imagined 1t was a
false clew deliberately placed In the hall
for us to find--like the footprints; but
I certainly didn't suspect Ada of having
made up the tale Now, however, as I
look back at the episode 1t strikes me
as deuced queer that she shouldn't have
brought so apparently significant pa
per to the Office. Her failure TO do so
was neither logical nor reasonable; and
/ ought to have been suspicious. But
my word-wfat was one Illogical item
more or less in such melange of in
consistencies? AS 1t happened, her
decoy worked beautifully, AMI gave her
the opportunity to telephone Rex to look
into the chute. But 1t didn't really
matter. If the scheme had fallen
through that morning it would have
been successful later on. Ada was high
ly persevering."
you think then" put in Markham,
that Rex really heard the shot in Ada's
room that first night, and contlded in
