rem Sibley. The directors wife
stated that she was not ashamed
to fight for what was rightfully
hers and explained that she
felt no remorse over the 'ln-
timely death of the screen star.
She even stated she would have
had no compunction in going to
the extreme of committing such
a deed herself.
In almost every respect Mrs.
Sibley proved herself. a most
unusual witness. She did not
refrain even from breaking
down a possible alibi which
might be required of her, by
explaining that on the night
of the murder she was at home
alone and that Warren Sibley
did not arrive until 5 o'clock
in the morning, having worked
the greater part of the night at
the studio.
Warren Sibley had previously
been questioned and admitted
that the shooting" of pic
ture had been called off at 2
a. m. after a disturbance Gre
ated by Andre Leighton, who
came to the studio in search
Of Miss GLADDEN.. When he
found that she was not present
he had, in his half-drunken
state, accused Sibley of being
the cause of his troubles, and
members of the crew barely
were able to halt a fistic en-
counter between the two men.
Leighton was escorted from
the studio and Sibley called off
work for the night. He admitted
that he did not go directly
home but, after the excessive
heat of the studio lights, had
driven alone to the Beach Road,
followed it as far as Point
Dune. and then returned home
over Ventura Boulevard, arriv-
ing about 5 o'clock.
Captain SommerS considered
both Warren Sibley and his
wife as definite suspects in the
case, but no police action was
taken until the rest of those
connected with the case had
been interviewed. He told Dale
that all efforts to locate Andre
Leighton and Robert Worth
had been unsuccessful. He did
learn that Leighton had re-
turned home after daybreak
and had left again before noon.
No information whatsoever as
to the whereabouts of Robert
Worth was in the hands of the
police. although a drag1et had
been placed about the city and
a warrant issued for his ar
rest.

him. I'm not going into bust

She glanced swiftly at Pancho.
He was standing erect. his
chest puffed out like an in
flated balloon. The Spanish
trait of vanity was strong in
him again. His pride ran high.
Pride, If anything, could save
him. now that it was quickened
again.
we've threShed the whole
thing out, with Zacado," Jerry
went on. "Your father is just
the man he needs. I'm going
to buy him a partnership in

and help build that business
into a fine little gold mine"

ting a percentage Of his profits

And this Is as you want it,
Pancho?" Raquel asked. She
knew her father. He was a
zealot in pursuit of those things
which pleased him. Jerry must
not invest money that Pancho
would throw away. toss to the
winds of desire and gross appe-
tite.
1T is the only way. Chico"
said Pancho. His voice was
strong. His teeth clenched.
His face grim. He found an ex-
cuse to leave her with Jerry.
IF he should fail us"
Raquel murmured.
We've got to take the
chance Jerry declared. Il
firmly believe he will not fail.
The first thing is to keep him
away from his old environment.
From all contact with the COM
panions of his evil days"
"And this Zacado?"
"He is high class. The class
of your fathers family. And
he is Spanish. Pancho will not

ADVICE TO

Does He Love Her?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
He tells me that he loves me
me and I love him. But a
month has passed since he last
came to see me. He is 80 miles
away. When he does come, he
will not come alone. He has
asked me If he may write, but
has never written. He is not
working steady, but thinks he
will be able to marry. What
is wrong? Does he love me?
LOVELORN.
My dear, the most practical
help / can give you is to beg
you to waste no more love on
this extremely unreliable young
man. A youth who is seriously
in love and who honestly looks
forward to marriage conducts
himself in a very different
fashion, as you will find when
your destined sweetheart ap
pears. Meanwhile don't let the
boy you speak of think you love
him or are taking him seriously.
Be polite to him If you meet
him, but do not dream of con-
sidering him as a possible huS-
band. You will be less love
