quest had been made of him to have the
blood analyzed. That changed the sit
uation again. Collins was called back
and he said that while he had not for
mally requested" the analysis, he had
suggested 1t might be a good thing.
The story was withheld, as there was
nothing to substantiate it. Nobody, it
seemed, was going to do anything.
The Star, III view OF conflicting de-
velopments. decided to interview In
spector Shelby. Snure and Collier went
to Detective Headquarters at 8 O'Clock
in the morning and remained in InsDec-
tor Shelby's ONCE, with the doors locked
from the inside to avoid interruptions,
until after o'clock in the afternoon.
During those four hours Inspector Shel-
by and Lieut. Kelly laid all their cards
on the table, to use their own express
sion. They said they wished to convince
the reporters of the thoroughness of
their investigation. Kelly disclosed he
had gone to the Park Lane the night
before and with hammer and cold
chisel, removed the stained tiles from
the bathroom floor and taken the tiles
to headquarters, where they now are.
The District chemist. he declared, re-
ported that a satisfactory analysis was
impossible.
When the reporters frankly told In
spectorF Shelby they were not clear on
the point made by Manager Run with
regard to the position of the body
against the bedroom door, the Inspector
removed his coat, lay prone on the floor
of his office, with one foot against the
door and had Lieut.. Kelly open the door,
to demonstrate his point. Shelby
showed how to account for the fact that
Manager Ruff had to push the door
omen with force, after Mr.. Mcpherson
had preceded him into the room. when
he discovered the body OF his wife a few
minutes before.
AS for the screams heard that night,
Lieut.. Kelly asserted he had traced
them to an apartment across the alley
