Chapter vi
Continued from last week.

We had no difficulty in locating
the exact spot where the body had
been. Even the rain had not washed
away all the evidence. My first work
was to look about for footprints.
There were none to be seem The
place was covered with a rich
growth of grass, and root-filled turf
as a rule does not receive very
clear imprint. Besides, the rains
would have washed away any I'M
print that had been made.
We were no more successful IN
finding weapon with which the
crime could have been committed.
We searched the hillside with the
greatest possible care; and even
waded short distance into the
swan D. Of course it seemed liked
that any blunt instrument that
could have inflicted the wound
could have been easily tossed into
the swamp water, from which IL
could not be recovered until the
waters receded again.
Although it was inundated to a
depth of six feet now, it was per-
fectly clear that the isthmus was
still above the surface of the water
at the moment of the murder. 1t
was not covered until the final
wreckage of the levee, several min
utes afterward. 1t would have been
possible for the murderer to have
raced across the isthmus to the op.
posite high lands before the wall OF
water came. In that case he was
still to be found in the thick jungle
beyond.
Since the light had made it pos
sible, we had put q negro in an up
stairs window with a powerful PAIR
of field glasses. Ii the murderer
was indeed in refuge in the thick
iungles, the glasses would reveal
any attempt he should make 20 es-
cane. His only hope would be to
keep the plateau itself between him
and the house, a feat that would
become increasingly difficult as he
neared the mainland And it was
true the water was too deep to
wade. He would either nave to con
struct raft. or else risk his life
in a long, desperate swim.
The watch was kept like the
guard of an army camp. 1t was
continuous. When the negro was
obliged to leave his post another
took his place.
We picked up few surface clues.
We found a mans hat; but it
was perfectly evident that it was

FIVE COLLECTIONS
National Museum Reports
Loss of Over 10000
Pieces in Haul.

Five albums of stamps, containing
more than 10000 stamps collected by
three persons in the National Museum,
we're stolen from three different places
in the museum, according to reports to
the police.
DR.. Walter E. Hough, curator of
anthropology, said today two albums
belonging to him and to his secretary,
George Mccoy. had been stolen from
lockers, which had been opened by keys
taken from desk drawers. The two
albums, he estimated, we're worth about
81 200 and consisted of general collec-
tions from all countries of the world.
Edward Chaplin of the chronological

containing Cancelled British stamps. His
books we're taken from room on the

COMBS ELIMINATED
FROM SERIES PLAY
Injured Wrist Eliminates Yankee
Fielder-Pennock Also
on Sick List.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Octooer 3.-Earle'
Combs. New York Yankee center
fielder, was definitely eliminated from
the World Series opening tomorrow
when he tried out his injured wrist
today and found that he could not hold
bat Physicians said positively that
he could not start. and probably would
not be available for duty during the
series.
Reports that Herb Pennock. crack
Yankee southpaw. who has been out
of the game since August with bad
attack of neuritis. would be able to
pitch in the worlds series were de-
scribed by his physicians today as with
out the slightest foundation.
It Is understood that Pennock's con-
dition puts him definitely out of the
series and that his future career in
base ball Is in doubt.
Combs. injured in Detroit last
Thursday. had been treating his wrist
with electricity for several days. When
he could not swing bat today Manager
Miller Higgins announced that Big Ben
Paschal, a right-handed batsman. would
play center against left-hand pitching
with Cedric burst, a left-hander, bat
ting against the right-handers.
Physicians said Combs might be able
to get In a game in a week, but that
even this would be taking a chance, so
the Yankee plans for the series went
ahead without figuring the lead-of
man in the lineup for any of the
games.
Bright, warm sunlight flooded the
Yankee Stadium today as the New
York and ST.. Louis players went
thrugh their final PAGES in prepara-
ton for the opening of the world series
tomorrow. Fair and somewhat warmer
weather was forecast for tomorrow.
