Storm of Selling Hits Market But Brisk Rally Follows In Afternoon
 With Four Divisions Leading Rise
Experts Regard Drop as Correction of Price Lev. els - Business News Is Mixed in Character - Many Issues Gain in Up- turn.

New York, April % LPt-The stock market experienced another storm of selling this morning in which scores of issues were carried down l to 10 points, but a brisk rally de- reloped in the early afternoon under the leadership of a selected list of amusements, farm implements, rails and specialties. Many of the morn ing losses were cut down, and a long list of issues marked up 1 to points, with sprinkling of others selling 6 to IS 1-4 points higher.
 Correction of Prices
 Early selling, which received con- siderable impetus from the further decline in wheat prices and the pub lication of some disappointing first quarter reports, was widely char acterized as a further correction of the top heavy speculative position built up in the last six weeks. The subsequent rally was influenced, in part, by the lowering of call money and bankers acceptance rates and the appearance of strong buying support for some of the industrial leaders.
 Business news continued mixed. Chicago steel operations were re- ported to have shown a substantial decline, but the output in other cen- ters is being maintained at good levels. Foreign buying of copper continues in fair volume but domes- tic consumers are slow in placing forward business at the current 14 cents a pound level, probably in an ticipation of a further price cut. Practically all of the leading copper stocks broke to new low levels for the year, Federal Mining 6, Smclt- ing dropping 10 points while the d. clines in the others ran from frac- tions 10 three points.
 Rails Are Mixed
 Rails were mixed. Reading broke nearly points to a new low for the year at 1151a, and Chesapeake &, Ohio dropped 8, while Illinois Gen. tral was marked up 6 Z points 10 new high at 134 and Union Pacific advanced 31s points.
 In the early selling Brooklyn Union Gas, Ingersoll Rand, United Aircraft, Westinghouse Electric and American Tobacco E dropped 4 to F points while American Tele- phone, Allied Chemical, Western Union, Columbian Carbon and Amer ican Can were among the many is- sues to sag 3 points or more.
 J. l. Case was again a spectacular feature, soaring 1SH points to a new high at 542, which contrasts with the years low of 1924. Worthington Pump jumped liz points to 1461a and Nanadium Steel 624 to 142H, both new highs. Eastman Kodak rallied points, A. M. Byers and Mcllcesport Tin Plate 3 A to a new high at S4. Radio was bought in heavy volume, crossing G6 to new high level for the year.
 Call Money Drops
 Call money renewed at per cent and dropped to 31s with loans in the outside market available at 8 per cent. A few bankers accep- tance dealers reduced rates E of 1 per cent, and the others are cX- pected to fall ill line within the next day or two. Time money held steady.

81. Janet admitted she did not
go directly to the front porch when
she left the living room after her
table finished the last rubber. Went
first 10 the hall 1avatory to comb
her hair and renew her makeup.
Said she Was there alone about
five minutes, then went to the front
porch. (Revised her story after
Tracey had said he did not see her
on the porch when he arrived)
80. Judge Marshall said he
glanced into the living room when
he arrived, saw Karen, Carolyn and
me absorbed in our game, and went
on down the hall, to hang Up his
hat and stick. Proceeded immedi-
ately to the living room.
80. John Drake told Peter he en-
tered the front hall and passed on
to the lavatory to wash up. Felt
sticky after his walk from the Coun-
try Club. Hung up hat in the guest
closet. Went to living room within

could confirm Judge Marshall's
story and Johnny brakes story,
they said they had seen them both
arrive, but had paid no attention to
them after they we're in the house.
1T occurred to Peter, too. to Won
der if either Polly or Give went to
Nita's room to warn her that Ralph
knew about Sprague's having slept
the night before in the upstairs bed
room. They both denied emphat-
ically that they had done so.
''5. Judge Marshall volunteered
the information to Peter that Nita
had not paid her rent, on the plea
that she was short of funds, and
that he had told her to let it go IN
til it was quite convenient.
"6 The word 'blackmaiP was not
mentioned, and Johnny Drake, be-
cause of professional ethics, I sup
pose, did not tell about Nita'S two
deposits of $4,000 in his bank.
Seventh: The secret shelf in the
foyer closet was not mentioned.
Peters verdict, after he got
through with us, was that only
Sprague could have done it Using

herself had stolen from Hugo.

noon had it occurred to him to ask
the telegraph company for a copy
of the wire by which Dexter
Sprague, according to his own story,

after Nita's arrival.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

TT was Wednesday evening, four
4 whole days since Nita Leigh
selim had been murdered while she
was dummy at bridge.
PIainclothesmen, in pairs. day
and night shift, still guarded the
lonely house in Primrose Meadows,
but Dundee had taken no interest
an the actual scene of the crime
since CarraWay, fingerprint expert,
had reported negatively upon the
Secret shelf between Nita's bedroom
closet and the guest closet
The very lack of fingerprints, of
course, had confirmed Dundee's be-
lief that the murderer's hand had
pressed upon that swinging panel
had quested in vain for the in
terminating documents or letters
which had been the basis of Nita's
blackmail scheme, had deposited
upon the shelf the gun and silencer
with which the murder had been
accomplished, and later had re-
trieved the weapon in perfect safety.
A hand loosely wrapped in a
handkerchief. The hand of a
cunning, careful, cold-blooded muir
;derer or murderesS. But -
who?
Bonnie Dundee, brooding at his
desk in the living room of his
small apartment, reflected bitterly
that he was no nearer the answer
10 that question than he had been
Rn hour after Nita Selim's death.
Well, my dear Watson" he adj
dressed his Gagged parrot finally.
What do you say? Who killed
Nita Selim?"
The parrot stirred on his perch,
thrust out his hooked beak to nip
his masters prodding finger, then
disdainfully turned his back
L don't blame you, Cap'n," Dun
dee chuckled. You must be as
sick of that question as 1 am.
And what pity it ever had to be
askedl
IF the murderer had not been so
hasty-or SO pressed for time that
he really could not wait to listen
to Nita-he would have learned that
Nita had decided to be very good
girl. and had burned the papers
all because she was genuinely in love
with Ralph Hammond.
One comfort we have. my dear
Watson; the murderer still does not
know that Mia burned the papers
Friday night. Sooner or later, when
he believes police vigilance has been
relaxed, he'll go prowling about that
house, and to Captain Strawn, who
doesn't take the slightest stock in
my theory, will go credit for the ar
rest. . Unless"
