SYNOPSIS: Anatole Flique finds clews to the murder of Dan Parados where police are searching in vain. Claude An ncrsley, a likely suspect reveals that the parlor window was open immediately after Parados was shot in that room. Flique says this is vital evidence. From Manning, a maid, Fiique ob- tains the story of Mrs, Parados' actions just before her hus- band was killed. She tells of Mrs. ParadOs' nervousness just before the murder; how she had found a small green stone in Mrs. Parados' bedroom, and how Mrs. ParadOs left her room for several minutes--just about the time her husband was mur- dered.

 "No, it's just crazy notion that occurred to me. It wouldn't be fair to tell you. Too much has been said about people who couldn't have done it. It must have been Annersley. Miss Jahries caught him with pistol in his hand"
 You might as well tell me-" l urged. Are you thinking about Mrs. Parados? That Flique broke her alibi, I mean?"
 But she wouldn't say any more and I did not press her. Caroline had a way of meaning what she said.

Chapter 29 STEEL SERVINGS

My experiences Of the past three days had taught me the folly of jumping at conclusions.
 "Flique," proceeded cautious ly, what was in the pocket Of Mrs. Parados' gown--her robins egg blue gown?"
 6 You have not guessed ?"
 T wouldn't have asked you if I had" I retorted. Sometimes wonder if your front of superior wisdom conceals any more than the rest of us knowF 5G Fllque chuckled, seemingly un- disturbed by my silly outburst. Was not Friday madame's birth day and the anniversary of her marriage to- monsieur?" he in- Quired. pls. ses ali
 If this was intended to enlighter me. it didn't. On Friday evening, recalled, Flique had offered Mrs Parados his congratulations on the double significance of the day. Sht had received them with a gooc deal of perturbation, but wasn't prepared to construe her reaction to them as evidence of guilt.
 Nor was ready to believe that it was a pistol which Mrs. Parados held in the pocket of her gown as she went into the little hall that gave separate access to the room bathroom and roof.
 Flique said no more. and we passed out of the patio, in silence My mind continued to struggle witf this new aspect of the case Man ming had so innocently illumi, mated.
 I did not notice that we were approaching the garage until wt were almost there. Fiique glanced toward the south end in which An nersley was imprisoned, but thu north end which served as powel house and workshop, proved to b' his destination.
 He prowled around the room paying little attention to the power plant, but enormously interested in the lathe-a screw cutting lathe I thought. trailed him silently.
 Suddenly a long steel rod, which leaned against the wall behind the lathe, attracted his attention and he bounced upon it.

 The rod, rusted here and there was some four feet long and per haps a quarter of an inch thick One end of 1t was fitted into sort of head slightly thicker thar the rod itself.

agreement which is to be submit

The written proposition will be

This committee in turn will sub

Acceptance Of the Willacy propo-
sition, which was not made public,
Is thought to be likely thereby end

The matter on which the differ
ence occurred was how the Willacy

Willacy district has a permit tc
withdraw flood and storm waters
which cannot be used beneficially
BY present appropriations and flow

district has said that il is satisfied
with this permit since flood waters
were all that IL desired TO use.

sought to limit the Willacy district

BANKER uses
GUN TO WIPE
OUT FAMILY
Children Are Shot
In Bed Studying
Lessons

UNIONTOWN, Pa, ov. 13.-tP-
Three children were shot and kill
ed today by their father. r. w.
Playford. SIS, a prominent Union
town lawyer and banker, who then
killed himself, apparently while
suffering under the delusion that
the family was facing poverty.
Playforo's wife vas wounded
probably fatally.
The dead, besides the father. are
Nancy, Is; Margaret. 10; and Paul
inc, 8. Mrs. Playford. IS, before
her marriage to Playford, was
Nancy Stirling, member Of a promi-
nent Baltimore, Md. family.
A maid in the Playford home
was the first to discover the VIC
Tins. The girl, Viola White, said
that she heard shots about 2 a. m,
but believed the reports were caused
by heating radiators in the house.
A short time later, she said, she
saw Playford leave <e children's
room and enter his own. She heard
another shot, and upon investigat-
ing, found her employers body on
the floor.
Children Sleeping
All Of the family except the man
were in their beds. The children
and Mrs. Playford apparently were
sleeping when the shots were fired.
Playford was a director Of the
Fayette Title and Trust company,
which merged recently with the
National Bank OF Tayette County.
He also was a direcvor Of the merg-
ed bank.
Friends Of the family said Play
ford had said recently that he fear
ed he would go insane because OF
business worries. He was quoted as
saying that his family might have
to 20 ito the poor house"
Despite these expressions OF fear.
tlavford generally was regarded as
still wealthy. Police said they be-
lieved his business worries had
caused temporary insanity.
Mother May Die
The condition Of Mrs. Playford
was such that physicians said she
could not live. She was not taken
to a hospital, so critical was her
wound. The two oldest children
and Playford, apparently were kill
ed instantly. The youngest child
lived for a short time.
The body Of Nancy. the Oldest
child, was found propped against
her pillows. an open school book on
her lap. She had been STUDYING
her school lessons when the father
entered and fired a bullet into her
head. A bed light was burning.
The playfords lived In n Of the
most imposing residences In Union
town. and Mrs. Playford was one 81
the leading women in the city's
social circles. Plavford was a YES
tryman in st. Peters Episcopal
church.
