mind"

by the side door-the one off
the alieyway. I always used it
when it was open. Miss Odell re-
quested me to, so that the telephone
operator wouldn't see me coming
in so often"
And the door was unlocked at
that time Monday niTIt?"
How else could I have got in by
it? A key wouldn't have done me
any good, even if I'd had one, for
the door locks by a bs it on the in
side.
III say this, though: that's the
first time I remember finding the
door unlocked at night"
"All right. You went in the side
entrance. Then what?"
II walked down the rear hall and
listened at the door of Hiss Odell's
apartment for a minute. I thought
there might be some one else with
her, and I didn't want to ring I'M
less she was alone. 80"
Pardon my interrupting, Mr..
Cleaver," interpoSed Vance. But
what made you think some one else
was there?"
The man heSitated.
WAS it," prompted Vance, "be-
cause you had telephoned to Miss
Odell a little while before, and had
been answered by mans voice."
Cleaver nodded slowly. II can't
see any particular point in denying
it. Yes. that's the reason"
What did this man say to you?"
Damn little. He said Hello,
and when I asked to speak to Miss
Odell, he informed me she wasn't
in, and hung up"
That, I think, explains JeSsups
report of the brief phone call to
the Odell apartment at twenty
minutes to twelve"
Probably" Markham spoke with
out interest. He was intent on
Cleaver's account of what happened
later. and he took up the interro-
cation at the point where Vance
had interrupted.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-25

still, looking at it automatically,
if you phoned Miss Odell at twenty
minutes to twelve, and then en-
tered the Subway, rode to Seventy
Second ST., walked a block to
Seventy First, went into the build
ing, listened at her door, and de-
parted at five minutes to twelve
making the total time consumed
only fifteen minutes-you'd scarcely
have sufficient lee-way to stop en-
route and phone to any one.
However, I sha'n't press the
point. But I'd really like to know
what you did between eleven O'Clock
and twenty minutes to twelve,
when you phoned to Miss Odell."
Cleaver studied Vance intently
for a moment.
ITO tell you the truth, I was
upset that night. I knew Miss
Odell was out with another man
she'd broken an appointment with
me-and I walked the streets for
an hour or more, Tuning and
fretting."
Walked the streets2" Vance
frowned.
That's what I said" Cleaver
spoke with animuS. Then, turning
he gave Markham a long calculat-
ing look.
"You remember I once suggested
to you that you might learn some
thing from Doctor LindquiSt. .....
Did you ever get after him?"
Before Markham could answer,
Vance broke in:
"Ah! That's it--Dr. Lindquist!
Well, well-of course! -. SO, Mr..
Cleaver, you we're walking the
streets? The streets. mind you!
PreciSelyl-You state the fact, and
I echo the word Streets And you
apparently out of clear sky-aSk
about DR.. Lindquist.
why DR.. Lindquist? No one has
mentioned him. But that word
'streetS-that's the connection. The
streets and DR.. Lindquist are one

"You say you listened at the
apartment door. What caused you
to refrain from ringing?"
II heard a mans voice inside"
Markham Strengthened up.
"a mans voice? You're sure2"
That's what I said" Cleaver was
matter of fact about it. "a mans
voice. Otherwise I'd have rung the
bell"
Gould you identify the voice?"
Hardly. 1t was very induistinct;
and it sounded little hoarSe. 1t
wasn't any ones voice I was IA
miliar with; but I'd be inclined to
say it was the same one that an
swered me over the phone"
Gould you make out anything
that was said?"
Cleaver frowned and looked past
Markham through the open window.
II know what the words sounded
like" he said slowly. II didn't
think anything of them at the
time. But after reading the papers
the next day those words came back
to me-"
What were the words?" Markham
cut in impatiently.
We'll, as near as I could make
out, they were: oh, my God Oh,
my God;'-repeated two or three
times"
This statement seemed to bring a
sense of horror into the dreary old
off1ce-a horror all the more po-
tent because of the casual. phleg-
matte way in which Cleaver repeat
ed that cry of anguish. After a
brief pause Markham asked:
When you heard this mans voice
what did you do?"
II walked softly back down the
rear hall and went out again
through the side door. Then went
home"
A short silence ensued. Cleaver's
testimony had been in the nature
of a surprise; but it fitted per-
fectly with Mannix's statement.
Presently Vance lifted himself out
of the depths of his chair
IT say, Mr.. Cleaver. what were
you doing between twenty minutes
to twelve-when you phoned Miss
Odell-and five minutes to twelve
when you entered the side door OF
her apartment house?"
II was riding uptown in the sub
way from Twenty-Third ST." came
the answer, after short pause.
Strange. very strange" Vance
inspected the tip Of his cigaret.
Then you couldn't possibly have
phoned to any one during that fiji
teen minuteS-eh, what?"
I suddenly remembered Alys La
Fosses statement that Cleaver had
telephoned to her on Monday night
at ten minutes to twelve. Vance,
by his question, had. without re-
vealing his own knowledge, created
a. state ct uncertainty in the others
mind. Afraid to commit himself
too emphatically. Cleaver resorted
to evasion.
TITS possible. is 1t not, that I
could have phoned some one after
leaving the subway at seventy
second ST., and before I walked the
block to Miss Odel's house?"
"Oh, quite" murmured Vance.

DOCTOR GETS LIFE.

BIZ United PrCSS

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb %. - DR..
Charles Mcmillan, 81, found guilty
OF the murder of Mrs. Amelia APP
pleby, wealthy widow of Chicago
inventor, must spend the remainder
of his life in San Quentin Peniten-
tiary.
Imposition Of the life imprison-
ment sentence, recommended by a

hours.
The body of Mrs. Appleby was
found tied in a burlap sack near
San Fernando last December 26. The
skull had been crushed.
Desire to gain possession of tbs
Appleby estate which he managed
was held by the State as McMillan's
motive for the murder.

same as Paris and springtime are
one. Neat, very neat. . And
now I've got another piece to the
puzzle"
Markham and Heath looked at
him as if he had suddenly gone
mad.
He calmly selected a Reggie from
his case and proceeded to light it,
Then he smiled beguilingly at
Cleaver.
'The time has come, my dear sir,
for you to ell us when Ind where
you met DR.. Lindquist while roam
ing the streets Monday night. If
you don't. pom my word. Ill come
pretty clos, to doing it Tor you"
A full minute passed before
Cleaver spoke; and during that time
his cold staring eyes never moved
from the district attorneys face.
I've already told most Of the
story; so here's the rest"
He gave a soft mirthless laugh.
It went to Miss Odells house a
little before half past eleven -
thought she might be home by that
time.
There I ran into Doctor Lind
quist, standing in the entrance to
the alleyway. He spoke to me, and
told me some one was with Miss
Odell in her apartment.
Then I walked round the corner
to the Ansonia Hotel. After ten
minutes or so telephone Miss Odell,
and, as I said, a man answered.
It waited another ten minutes and
phoned a friend of Miss Odell's,
hoping to arrange a party; but fail
ing, I walked back to the house.
1.-The doctor had disappeared, and
went down the alleyway and in
the side door.

told you, and hearing a mans voice,
7 came away and went home

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. Is
Wisconsin will have thirty-one dele
gates, the second largest delegation,
in the national Socialist convention
in New York April IA, according to
announcement of Edmund T.
MelmS, secretary of the local Social
ist group. New York has thirty-two
delegates.
The party in Wisconsin always
has stood for liquor and is likely to
oppose any sidestepping of the pro-
hibition issue, MelmS declared. The
proposal that the United States
join the League of Nations or the
World Court was presented at last
years convention and will meet
with renewed opposition from the
Wisconsin delegation, he predicted,
if 1t is again considered.

Markham waited patiently. After
several minutes Cleaver drew him
self together and squared his
shoulders.

did that night, and you can take
it or leave it,"
Again he was the cold, self-con-

Tell your story" ordered Mark

worry about the newspapers.
Cleaver knew in his heart that
this was true. No one-not even
his bitterest political enemieS-had
ever accused Markham of buying
praise with any act of injustice,
however small"

WATER RELIEF
AT SUNNYSIDE
AWAITS SURVEY
Delay Basin Construction
Until Engineer Makes
His Report.

Unconvinced that the three wells
now serving Sunnyside Tuberculo-
sis Sapatoriuln are adequate, men,
pers OF the sanatorium board won
agreement OF county commissioners
Friday to delay contemplated con-
struction OF large sedimentation
basins until an engineers report
has been submitted.
Cassius Hogle, commissioners
chairman, said the county was ready
to proceed with construction of the
basins and filtration plant along
lines suggested by Harrie T. Best,
chief engineer for the Standard
Cement Construction Co., Of Gin
cinnati.
Thinks Wells Adequate
Hogle regarded present wells ade-
quate and held that enlarged stor-
age facilities would remedy a situa-
ton which frequently forced re-
moval of patients because of in
sufficient or impure water.
Irving LemauX, chairman Of the
sanatorium board, expressed graft
fication at the commissions willing
ness to afford relief, but with DR..
Harold Hatch, superintendent Of the
institution, and DR.. Alfred Henry
felt survey should first be made.
Best, who volunteered his services
and said he would not accept cent
for his engineering advice and di-
rection of installation said wastage
should be reduced at the institution.
Survey viii Be Made
He will make survey of the sit
uation and report his findings to the
commissioners and sanatorium Of
flcials, who still feel additional wells
might be required.
It was brought out in the confer
ence that the $50 persons at Sunny
side use $4,000 gallons of water
daily.
Large sedimentation tanks would
relieve the situation, Best declared,
by enabling the institution to keep
pumps working and storing water in
the reservoirs.
They will be of earthen construc-
ton. covered, and of a capacity of
between 100000 and 100000 gallons,
according to requirements revealed
by the survey. No estimate was
reached as to their cost.
