SYNOPSIS: Superintendent Richmon nd of the police wavers in his conviction that Dr. Nctherton killed AnnabeIlc Querdling to share her wealth through marriage with a niece, Marjorie Blake. Marjorie and her sister, Evelyn, would forfeit their inheritance through mar riage according to the spin ster's missing will, but Vincent Blake, their brother, would share cnly in the event that his aunt died intest2te. Jimmie Ha3welI, detective, learns that Nctherton was engaged to Aud rey WinfCrd and had no motive fer such a crime. While heading toward the Querdling place at night Jimmie is astounded at seeing Marjorie in the arms of Captain Stirling. Unobserved, he joins the group in the house, where Evelyn and her fiance, Lionel Duckworth, are singing in room apart from that in which the others play bridge. The maid hands Jimmie a note which surprises him.

wen go at once" said Audrey eager to tell the truth she thought would clear Netherton. Then shf recalled that she had forgotten tc get gasoline.
 "I'll ask Green for some" said Roscoe, turning into the trade en- trance.
 I'd better go back and make some excuse for leaving" Jimmie decided. Then, he added, Stir ling has just left. Of course, you |realize the conclusion people will draw from it."
 Audrey's honest eyes revealed the pain within as she told how at first she had planned to go to Stirling and disclose what she had found then concluding that this would not be right and that she must tell Richmond. T still think he is in- capable of mean or evil action and that there must be an explana- |tion," she added.
 As Jimmie turned toward the house, Constable Roscoe came run- ming toward them, his usual ruddy face almost devoid of color.
 Ted Green" he gasped. He's there-dead! He killed Miss Querd- ling. He has confessed!"
 Jimmie, recovering from his first shock, turned quickly toward the garage, followed by Audrey. As they hastened, Roscoe explained that he had called for Green but had got no reply, and had then gone upstairs, since he saw a light in the room, and had II e d through the closed door Still get ting no reply, he had opened the door and made the tragic discov- cry.
 The big doors to the garage were closed as the little party approach ed and entered the open smaller door leading to the stairs and Green 'srooms. At the door of the room Jinmie's quick eye saw the chauffeur's body sprawled half on and half off chair. his arms thrown on the table on which his head and shoulders rested. He was wearing his uniform brooches and a gray flannel shirt. On the table was an ordinary beer bottle and a glass three parts empty, a sheet Of

POISONED EVIDENCE

Jimmies first surprise when ne read the note that the maid hand ed him was that it came from Aud rey. Evidently it had been hur- riedly written:
 Dear MT Haswell: Can you
 come out to see me? I am in
 car in front. Do not mention
 my name or they will ask me
 in.
 saf Audrey Winford
 Since Janet had told him mar had brought the note, it was easy for Jimmie to excuse himself with out disclosing the writer. It wa clear that Audrey was not alone.
 She was sitting at the wheel ol the car, in the roadway some 3C yards from the drive entrance Be- hind her were Constable Roscoe and a rough-looking stranger.
 Audrey was brief. You wanted to know whose car was on the links on the night Miss Querdling was killed. It was Captain Strings Her expressionless voice masked deep feeling.
 Where was hep Jimmie asked
 "In the gardens"
 That was in keeping with Jim mics own discovery. How do you know?" he asked quietly.
 She introduced Willie Freeman a caddie, who often went to the course at night to hunt for balls She, knowing this, had inquired if he had seen anything on the night of the tragedy Convinced his story might clear an innocent per- son, he had told her the story he now repeated to Jimmie.
 On his way home, Freeman said he had stopped aside the hut that is forninst the seventh green wher I seed someone gettin' over ths fence c Morrow Craig. Only one and e 'ad, for it wor Captain Stir ling. Stepped into is car e did, and drove off immediate"
 He said he would stand back ol the story, and Audrey was on hei way with Roscoe to inform Rich mond, stopping to let Jimmie know Of the development. Jimmie saio that he would go along with them as he had information Richmond should know.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-03-06

Leaving Greens bed room, Jim mic returned to the other room ant re-read the confession, written ol a sheet of paper similar to tha in the chauffeur's daily mileag book, which his employer required him to keep. The record was en tered up to the very last day, ever to the note for the afternoon-"Mr Vincent, Brockhurst and round, 6. miles Near the end of the book he found the place from which th+ sheet had been torn.
 To most of those in the carc room, now discussing the startling occurrence, the confession came as a relief. Vincent recalled that on the drive he had taken that aft ernoon Green had seemed his usual self, and none seemed to [have hard things to say concern ing the chauffeur, although Evelyn mentioned his uncertain temper. zone good thing" Vincent com mented. Tt will help old Morgan to |get move on. No one can sug- 'gest Green had anything to do with the will"
 Dr. Netherton found Jimmie and Roscoe waiting beside Green when he arrived. The stupor continued, with occasional convulsive- sspasms. Jimmie had a suggestion.
 Do you want nurse? Audrey Winford is in the house."
 Netherton shot a quick glance at him. Not at present. he said tersely.
 He looked at the small quantity of beer left in the glass. In color it was normal. He put spot on his tongue and spat it out again
 Very bitter" he said. APoison, of course, something uncommon I cannot say what. I think. we had better get him to the hospital
 Will you speak to Richmond?" Jimmie asked. He is waiting to know"
 Before Netherton could reply there was another movement from the figure on the bed. Greens eyes opened and his lips moved as if to speak. Copyright, 1930, J. B. Lippincott

paper, a notebook, an ink bottl and pen.
 On the mantel piece there stoo seven beer bottles and in a corne were four empty bottles The uni form coat was thrown over anothe chair in the scantily furnishe, room.
 At frs t, as Roscoe h a d said Green appeared dead, but sud 1 den convulsive movement brough Jimmie and the others to his side He was in kind of stupor, bead of precipitation stood on his fore head, and it seemed as though con | Isciousness might return. The con stable pointed silently to the shee of paper lying by the empty bot tie. Its message was brief, tn, writing was clear:
 killed Miss Querdling. Some thing came over me and I did it and now I am sorry. There is suspicion everywhere and I
 cannot sleep and so am talk ing the best way out. That night I thought all of 1 sudden I would ask the mistress to let me stay on and I went to her in the dutch garden and then I knew she would refuse and something came over me and I felt all mad with her and instead of speaking I pushed the image
 and it fell on her and I went
 away to Ben and asked for my
 hammer. That is all.
 Edward Green.
 Good bye, Janet, forgive me.
 We must get a doctor at once, Jimmie said as he left for the house with Audrey, Roscoe remain ing with Green. The little party in the card-room had been wait ing for Jimmie, who told them briefly what had happened and 'phoned Dr. Netherton. Mean while Audrey, explaining in more detail, did not divulge why she first called, since she felt that Ted Greens confession had made that unnecessary.
 After Netherton had promised to come, Jimmie telephoned Rich mond, who said he would await the doctors report, ordering Roscoe meanwhilei to remain by Greens side With Roscoe's help, Jimmie placed the body on the bed. An other convulsive movement indi- cated life, though the stupor con- tinued.

JOSL|N FLAYED
FOR NEWS GAG

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The
leading editorial in the current
issue of Editor and Publisher
says that either the methods Of
Theodore G. Joslin, President
Hoover's secretary for press rela-
tions, or he himself ought to
Immediately depart from the seat
of our national. executive govern
ment."
The editorial took exception to
Secretary Joslin's proposal to
clamp down on the press an Of
ficial censorship by far more
rigid, according to the editorial
writer, than any press supervision
our political government at
tempted to employ during the
World War. The editorial said:
"A voluntary censorship was
good enough for this nation in
that crisis. A political censor
ship will scarcely be tolerated
now"
The editorial then explained
how Secretary JoSlin gathered the
White House correspondents about
him on Septmeber II and in
formed them that they would
thereafter be expected to submit
for censorship all reports which
concerned the Administrators
efforts to relieve the economic
depression.
The editorial further said it is
difficult to believe that Mr..
Hoover would sanction White
House press system which calls
for the pre-publication wise OF
news copy bearing on the eco
nomic situation because the
White House wishes to avoid pub
lie antagonism to its plans and
methods"

BY FATHER

A further appeal to locate the
11-year-old daughter of Henry c..
Crownley, patient at the Naval
Hospital, was voiced in his name
today by Mrs. Margaret Whiting,
924 Twenty-third ST. N. W., with
whom the child had been staying
before she was reported taken
away from Grant School by her
mother last Friday.
The daughter, Frances, has not
been seen since, Mrs. Whiting
said. She added the father was
grief-St-icken and had employed
every means to find the girl since
she was removed from class.
According to Mrs. Whiting, the
parents are separated and the
girl has been living with her since
May, under a court order making
her father the guardian.
Police have watched the
mothers house at 900 H St. N.
E., and interviewed her relatives
in Baltimore, but no trace of the

COLL|NGS CLUE

NEW YORK, Sept. % GNSO.
The investigation of the pirate"
murder of Benjamin P. Ceilings
aboard his yacht, the Penguin,
appeared less devoid of clues to-
day.
District Attorney Blue of Suf-
folk county. was preparing to ask
Mrs. Lillian Ceilings whether two
pairs of trousers, filled with sand
and seaweed, were those worn
by her husbands slayers.
Mrs. Ceilings had said the
slayers forced her to accompany
them in a canoe, from which
they threw the clothes they wore
overheard, putting on some they
carried in bag.
Reports were current today
that a yacht with three men on
it, two of whom fit the descrip-
ton Mrs. Ceilings gave of the
SIayerS, was seen less than 4S
hours after the crime at North
port. An injured man was said

BANKS CLOSE

Two of the leading banks in
western Maryland closed their
doors today and were placed i'm
mediately in charge of the bank
commission of Maryland.
Both served notices by pasting
cards on the front door stating
simply that the institutions had
closed.
In both cases, the closing was
made without any advance notices
or hints of distress to the deposi-
tors.
The institutions are the Com
mercial Bank, the second largest
financial institution in Frederick,
and the Mechanics Loan and Saw
ings Bank, of HascrstOwn. The
latter was known throughout
Washington county as a good
substantial bank" and was one of
six banks in HagerstOwn.
Blame Central Trust
Officials of both institutions
place the blame for their closing
on runs resulting from the clos
ing of the Central Trust Com
pany of Maryland, with headquar.
ters in Frederick. on September 3,
last.
Caspar E. Cline, president of
the Commercial Bank, said that
rumors saying the Central concern
had $250,000 deposited with the
