CHAPTER 26
Mr., and Mrs. Alan Pomeroy re-
turned to New York on the first
day of October and pending the
esta blishment of what the brides
mother was pleased to refer to
as "dear little nest of their
own" stayed with the Leonards.
Three feverish weeks. A mad
kaleidoscope of parties. presents,
callers, congratulations, confer
ences. A nightmare of excelsior,
tissue paper, doorbells, telephone
bells. flowers. voices, kisses. A
meaninglessness.
Incidents, just few, stood out
sharply for Gay.
There was that first difficult
hour with her parents. They were
glad: they kept saying they were
glad and proud and happy,
smiling with honest fondness
upon Alan. Vet her father cleared
his throat noticeably often, and
her mother cried little, bleakIy.
"Not to have been with you"
she sighed several times. And
once, "Oh. but I always planned
such a beautiful big wedding"
There was the peculiar penetra.
ton in the brown, shellrimmed
eyes of Alan's friend Steve Harker
when he said, He's the salt Of
the earth, Gay. And don't you
ever forget it"
There was the 16-year.old hoy,
someone's visiting cousin. who adj
dressed her politely as "Ma'am"
at the Tom Hinchley's dance.

Elizabeth Ertz give Pat the treat

Through it all Lily never moved.
When the doctor came she went
over to q corner OF the room and
sat there, huddled against the
wall, with Pats old blue bathrobe
around her. and there she stayed,
watching the bed with wide.open,
frightened eyes.

So she followed Lily downstairs
and went out onto the front porch

She came back with 1t in one hand
and the paper in the other.
"Looky here, Lily" she cried,

And Lily rushed. She carried
1t upstairs, but by the time. she
got there the doctor was outside
the room and said that he wouldn't
need it. Pat was resting for the
time, and ne wouldn't have him
disturbed for anything.
"You can make some coffee for
all OF US though, II you want to do
something" he said in his fussy,
kindly way, and she ran back to
the kitchen and put the pot on the
stove.
While 1t was boiling she went
upstairs to dress in one of the

wounded Thomas Ryan. veteran pro.

Ryan had just risen from his chair
pistol shot echoed through the room.
Scores Of dry agents, policemen, at

the floor with bullet in his back.
Panic Quoted
No sooner had the spectators re-
covered from the shock than gen

for exits. but they were repnlsed
by guns of Federal guards while
bailiffs began search for RYAN $
assailant. No one was found bear
ing a gun recently discharged
After more than three hours In

belief that Ryan's assassin had been
sitting directly behind him with
clear view of each witness and was
waiting to kill Policeman Michael
shannon. who was to have been the
next Witness
Suspect Escaped
The gunman evidently had his gun
in his side coat pocket and was get
ting into position to shoot Shannon
when. in nervousness, he accidentally
discharged the weapon.
The theory that the gunman had
intended to "get" Shannon was borne
out by facts in a case being heard
Immediately prior to the shooting.
Shannon shot and killed Silyio
Colombo recently in a raid on an
alleged bootlegging establishment.
Several witnesses to the shooting
said they saw three men leave the
room Immediately after the shot was
fired. Two of them were prohibition

ALBANY, N. VI, Oct. 23.-Gover.
nor Al Smith was knee-deep today in
preparation for the opening of his
Eastern campaign in Boston tomor-
row night, Just az his opponent.
III bert Hooyer, closed his Eastern
campaign with his speech in New
York last night.
The next two weeks will see the
Democratic nominee engaged in a
final slashing campaign, ranging
from Boston to Baltimore, and en-
comprising the great centers OF
population that are vital to both
candidates in November.
VIII Reply to Hoover
Indications were today that Gov
ernor Smith will lose no time in
replying TO the Hoover speech in
New York last night. His first OPP
portunity for such reply Is presented
at Boston tomorrow night and his
inclination today was TO sail into
It with all his accustomed vigor and
aggressfveness.
Some pungent comment and satire
can be expected from the New York
Governor during the next 10 days.
Prohibition and water power con-
troll. two prime issues along the At.
hntic seaboard, will be featured by
Governor Smith in his volcanic fin
ish. On both issues he will chal-
lenge Mr. Hoover to clarity his
views. Governor Smith will tell his
Eastern audiences as he told those
in the West that he has definite
proposals to submit to both issues.
On the prohibition issue he pro-
poses to amend the Federal Consti-
tuition and laws SO as to allow each
State, il It so desires. on referen-'
dunn vote, to engage in the sale of
liquor to it's residents. He will
challenge Mr. Hoover to present a
better plan to deal with the prob
lem and he plans TO say with all
the biting sarcasm he employs so
effectively that instead of proposing
an alternative remedy Mr.. Hoover
simply opposes the State going into
the liquor business, preferring to
leave 1t in private hands. to wit
the bootlegger."
