FIND ESCAPED
CONVICT SLAIN
Body Near Where He Shot
Brother Years Ago.

BIZ United Press
WAYNESBORO, Pa, Feb. 49,
Samuel Shockey, escaped convict
from the Eastern penitentiary, was
found dead late Sunday in a
wooded section of the mountains
about a mile east Of Beartown.
The body was discovered by his
brother, Christian Shockey, near
the spot where Shockey shot an
other brother, Jacob, a few years
ago, for which he was serving q
term in the pen.
The top of his head had been
blown off and it is supposed
Shockey tripped in climbing over
the rocks and accidentally dis
charged his gun.
Finding Of the body brings to a
close one of the most diligent man
hunts in this vicinity in years.
Shockey, born woodsman, was
able to evade his pursuers.

CHAPTER XIV
"wednesday, September IL;
EVENING"

MAYHEM Vance finished speaking,
wv there was a long silence.
Markham, impressed by the 9TH
er's earnestness, sat in a brown
study.
His ideas had been shaken. The
theory Of Skeel's guilt, to which he
had chung from the moment of the
identification Of the finger prints,
had, it must be admitted, not en-
tirely satisfied him, although he had
been able to suggest no alterna-
tive.
Now Vance had categorically re-
pudiated this theory and at the
same time had advanced another
which, despite it's indefiniteness, had
nevertheless taken into account all
the physical points Of the case; and
Markham, at first antagonistic, had
found himself almost against his
will, becoming more and more SYM
pathetic to this new point of view.
Damn 1t, Vance!" he said. "I'm
not in the least convinced by your
theatrical ry.

"Mad!"

1.-THE city has it quota of Doc

brought up in a small Middle West

traction; took his M. D. from the
Ohio State Medical, practiced in

Vance. Such gentry never are.

IF his alteration were stamp

him a second thought.
But his perfectly rational pen

with horror: it's not your hobby
Consequently, you have hot yearn-

It'll admit" said Markham cool
~, "that a homicidal mania Is my
idea of madness"
"But he didn't have a homicidal
mania, Markham old thing. You
miss all the fine distinctions in psy-
chology.
"This man was annoyed by GER
tain person, and set to work, mas
terfully and reasonably, to do away
with the source of his annoyance
And he did 1t with SurpasSin' clever
ness.
ITO be sure, his act was bit girls
ly. But when, If ever, you get your
hands on him, you'll be amazed to
find how normal he is. And able,
too-oh, able no end"
Again Markham lapsed into a
long thoughtful silence. At last he
spoke.
1.-THE only trouble with your in
genious deductions is that they
don't accord with the known cir
cumstances Of the case. And facts,
my dear Vance, are still regarded
by few of us old-fashioned lawyers
as more or less conclusive"
"Wny this needless confession of
your short comings?" inquired Vance
whimsically.
Then, after a moment: LET me
have the facts which appear to you
antagonistic to my deductions"
well, there are only four men
Of the type you describe who could
have had any remote reason for
numbering the Odell woman.
"Heath's scouts went into her his
tory pretty thoroughly, and for over
two years-that is, since her ap-
pearance in the 'Follies'-the only
welcome ones at her apartment
have been Mannix, Doctor Lind

Spotswoode.
1.-THE Canary was a bit exclusive,
it seems; and no other man got
near enough to her even to be con-
sidered as a possible murderer"
"It appears, then, that you have
a complete quartet to draw on"
Vance's tone was apathetic. What
do you crave-a regiment?"
mo-" answered Markham patient
ly. IT crave only one logical posi-
bility.
But Mannix was through with
the girl over year ago; Cleaver and
Spotswoode both have water-tight
alibis; and that leaves only Doctor

ut couldn't have been SpotSwoode

''for he certainly can't qualify as
your potential stranger.

he left her, and that, during the
time she was murdered, he was with
Judge Redfern. Even you
friend Vance, couldn't manipulate
those facts to the gentleman's dis
advantage"

coded Vance. And that's all you

ailments. She writes
For fifteen years I had kidney

was nervous, sleepless, and all tired
out. To add to my troubles, five
years ago I developed chronic in
digestion, and eating was misery to
me. My stomach would bloat with
gas, my heart palpitated, and had
hot flashes all over. I was so con-
stipated I had to take laXativeS all
the time. I had almost given up
hope when I read about Viuna, and
tried it as a last resort. Almost at
once, I felt better. Before long, the
awful back-ache was gone, and
never returned. My kidneys grew
strong and do not disturb my rest
any more. My constipation is gone,
my appetite is fine, and I eat
heartily now with no pains, gas

is that I didn't know about Viuna

THE STORY THIS EAR

Srhe Jewel case had been opened with
u steel Chisel after being battered with
b poker. This leads Vance to the theory
that the real murder had not opened it,
but someone after him, someone who
was hiding in the closet when the MUIR
der was committed. That man, he
thinks, was Skeel, whose fnger-prints
strangled Margaret Odell. Markham
ridioules the theory and Vance pains
takingly explains his reasons for think
ing the crime not one of robbery but
the work Of highly intelligent man who
wanted the girl out of the way.
