SYNOPSIS: At the inquest into the death of Annabelie Querdling, murdered when stone image is toppled on her in her garden, Superintendent Richmond and Jimmie Has well, amateur detective, learn that the spinster had recently drawn up a will disinheriting her two nieces, Marjorie and Evelyn Blake, should they wed, and leaving substantial leg acy to a friend, Major Gres- ham. Marjorie and Dr. Nether- ten testify that Miss Querdling had made this same threat to them and that a few moments later she had found her aunt dead and had summoned her sister, Evelyn Blake, and her fiance, Lionel Duckworth, who had been singing in the nearby house. The embarrassed major has apparently explained his presence near the murder scene and other witnesses have been heard. As the jurors deliberate Constable Roscoe rushes up and says that the strange man hc had seen in the car near the house on the fatal night has rcappeared.

If Richmond was surprised by the nephew's immediate admission of presence in the neighborhood, he did not comment. Where do you live?" he asked.

 Why were you in Bradford that night?" asked the constable.
 Blake looked at him ."I wanted to see my aunt" he said slowly.
 Did you see her?"
 NO, she did not know that l had come"
 Richmond regarded him sternly Do you mean to suggest that you came from London to Bradford specially to see your aunt and went away without doing so." Vincent gave a weak sort of laugh. Tt may sound odd, foolish perhaps, but it is true"
 Morgan interposed that Vincent was not on good terms with his aunt and might explain why he had changed his mind. His tone

Chapter 15
WAS IT VINCENT?

Superintendent Richmond's eX- clamation indicated that Roscoe's information was startlingly import ant.
 "You mean the man who was out in front with the carp he said with mounting interest. Where is he?"
 Hes just come" the constable said. Hes talking to the two sisters now"
 The men he addressed moved nearer the hall door and looked in the direction he indicated. Why, that's Vincent Blake!" exclaimed Miss Querdling's lawyer, Morgan. Richmond was puzzled as he re- called that the girls has said he had not been near the place for months and that Ben Acres had sworn there had been no callers. Were they lying, or had this visit been without their knowledge? In his perplexity the superintendent Nlb llON hllOW WlVCilAN1 lO lNNoAl b4iS jurors and examine Blake or let them complete their deliberations and declare. their verdict, expected soon If Blake had nothing to tell, Richmond foresaw that he would look foolish to interrupt the pro- ceedings, Likely the jurors would lay the crime to persons unknown, but suppose they declared the doc tor or the chauffeur guilty-and this new witness had not been heard?
 Roscoe told him he was certain Blake was the man he had seen cranking his car near the trades mans gate. If that were so, Blake might have entered without Ben Acres seeing him. Using the side entrance, he could have worked through the shrubbery to the Dutch Garden, thus avoiding the lodge the garage and kitchen quarters where the chauffeur and maid; were on duty. Had Marjorie seer him? Did that account for hel nervousness?
 Before he could decide, the jur- ors were filing back into their box He whispered to Roscoe to keer Blake near for questioning. Tht foreman was reading the verdict.
 We are unanimously agreed tha' Miss Annabelle Querdling was will fully murdered. The evidence i at present inadequate to prove th- guilt of the person or persons con cerned."
 The verdict did not quite follow the stereotyped form. Did the jur. wish to hint that the persons wer not unknown?
 Jimmie Haswell took special not of Vincent Blake as Captain Stir ling greeted him, his sisters an Duckworth. while Audrey, Nanc and MT. Morgan joined the littl group. His likeness to his sister was not notable, since he was dar and they were fair and severa years younger. But the broke bridge to his large nose suggeste to Jimmie that Roscoe had correct ly identified him.
 Constable Roscoe pushed throug the crowd and told Blake that tn superintendent wished to spea with him He seemed surprise and Stirling explained, He's ir quisitive. We all have to go throug it."
 Jimmie and Morgan followed u nephew into small side roo where Richmond was waiting wit an abrupt question. Where wel you on the night of Thursday las when your aunt died?"

was encouraging and Vincent ap- preciated it.
 We were not on bad terms" he said. Recently a man l know gave me an option on some choice prop erty between Wimbledon and Kingston. The price was reason able and I decided to ask my aunt to finance me, take most of the profit but give me a good start on my own account"
 What did she say?'
 T didn't see her. When l drove over from Bradford I found I'd left the plans behind. Then I fig ured that if I told her I'd come without the papers she'd call me fool and refuse to help me" Morgan agreed, but Richmond continued. Did ycu see your sss- ters?'
 NO, if I'd seen anyone, my aunt would have inquired why I'd come and I would have had to explain my mistake. When I got back to Bradford, I concluded I'd started wrong Knowing my aunt, re- flected it would be better to write first and show her the proposition was sound and then see her. 50 you wrote from Bradford?" [ No, I never wrote at all"
 q sec" said Richmond, sarcas- tically. And this all happened on the night your aunt was killed!'
 You've got to understand that I was frightened at Aunt Anna belle" said Blake, fidgeting rest | lessly. T thought that, if I wrote i from Bradford, it might look as though-coming all that way-I l took it for granted she would do what I wanted. And that might annoy her. So I decided to wait ] till I got back to town. I was just about to write when I saw the death notice in the Friday nights papers. This is only Monday ] He had not told his sisters of his visit, and Richmond said that per haps he intended to keep it a se- cret. To this Vincent said, T told you when you asked me" You were at Morrow Craig" |" Richmond said, "at the very mo- ment your aunt was killed. Had the question been put to you, under oath, could you have sworn that you had done nothing directly or indirectly to cause your aunt's | death?"
 | Indeed I could" said Vincent Blake earnestly.
 Then Jimmie inquired if Blake ccrresponded with his sisters and was told that letters were rare. When he asked Vincent if he had brought the plans along this time, the nephew answered brightly, "Yes, I have"
 "Why?" demanded Richmond.
 Because I thought the girls might get something from Aunt Annabelle and they might help me. I did not expect anything my self"
 There were a few more questions but no variations from his original story and he and Morgan withdrew Richmond addressed Jimmie. Well, is he as simple as he seems?"
 Probably not. He's scared, real izes his awkward position, ano tries to strike note of manly frankness which he can't quite manage"
 I Richmond admitted his surprise that Vincent had not tried to dodge
 being near Merrow Craig, but Jim
 mic laughed. "If Roscoe spotted
 him, no doubt he spotted Roscoe When you send Roscoe for him h, is cute enough to know the righ answer"
 , Then you think he is concerne, in it-with Marjorie?" Richmon, : was putting his own thoughts int words. The will would have mad lot of difference to him. A things stand he is likely to benefi considerably"

Warner Brothers State theater has been playing to capacity houses during yesterday and this afternoon and the reason lies in that highly exciting new talking screen thriller .The Public Enemy" which opened three day engagement yesterday. {. It's no picture for anyone with . weak heart to see.
 This appalling presentation of the powers that work in darkness to un- dermine society, comes as a chal- lenge to all who value home and childhood.
 Tom Powers and Matt Doyle are first, seen as boyhood pals in the slums of great city, in the days before the World war. where they are initiated into petty thievery by a modern Pagan who nays them . small commission for the loot they steal from stores. Tom has a gentle mother who believes only good of him, though his hardworking older brother, Mike, suspects his misdeeds, and warns to no effect.
 Later, working as expressmen. the boys steal goods, and make the ac- quaintance of another gang leader, who takes them under his wing. Prohibition is put in force, the de- mand for liquor goes up, and the lads are implicated in robbing gov ernment warehouses. They grow in power and in ruthlessness. Rival gangsters start war and after adventures the two
