had happened, exactly as he de-
scribed it. Pratt stands there
paralyzed for a moment. Then he
hears you. Linda, coming as fast
as you can run.
HE dashes for the door, realizes
he can't make it. He crouches be-
side the wardrobe, hoping you won't
come in, but out of sight if you
do. You rush in and go straight
for the easement door.
"You couldn't tell it was murder,
but his own knowledge Of guilt con-
fuses his mind. He grabs UP a
towel from the chair-and you
know the rest"
She was silent and Tom con-
tinued:
Remember, he's seen me swim
ming in. He filings the towel out
on the balcony, figuring no one will
see it there and that he can get
it later.
He bends over you, waiting for
me to come or for others who may
be reused and cut off his retreat.
Best not try to get away. Tell that
story of hearing you fall and stick
to it,"
"And now" said Linda specula-
ticely. hes peaceably at church"
"Now-and then-and all the
time if he's a homicidal maniac, p"
said Tom soberly, "all rules Of con-
duct are null and void.
Hes sane except when some
thing drives him cuckoo. He at
tacks-and kills-and is sane again.
That is, always assuming he's the
one"
Linda shivered.
Does that let Mr. Statlander off?
He couldn't hear the noise so well
at this end of the hall"
But he could hear it: You heard
It plainly. If he slept with his door
open, he easily could have been
