avenue.
A purported confession by Moor
states that his wife neglected her
home, due to her work as a teacher,
and indicated that collection of in
surance on her life was a factor in
the Staying.
For the first time since the
tragedy. Moor showed concern
Wednesday when informed of the
nature of the indictment returned
against him by a grand jury, which
had been in session since Monday.
What did the jury do?" he asked
a newspaper man.
Informed that a murder indict-
ment had been voted, Moor ex-

in Marshall for the last few days,
but were not in the courtroom

So late?
Tony whisked out of bed and began to
for bath. Here she was with her own
private bath after months of sharing
the community tub of Mrs. Higgins
and she did not have time to use it.
THAT secretary of Montieu'S must
think I'm in jail, being so inSistent about
the money" Tony laughed. Youth is
that way.
1t occurred to Tony, then, with a little
tWinge Of conscience, that she had
passed the croSsroad, had entered into
a new travel And that the way behind
her was already blurring. This strange
hotel room felt honey. The room at
Mrs. Higgins, with the blue painted
bed and table, would be unfamiliar
Lees apartment she had passed through.
The details of it were nebulous. She
had come to be an adventurer. A ship
passing, as Tom Stewart passed. from
effete East country estates to bridges in
New Mexico.
II wish I could stay here" she said
aloud as she closed the door of her
haven behind her Its friendly and
close to the studio" In her heart she
knew the real reason for the desire for
change was that she might leave behind
her associations which had become
aching voidS.
Monsieur Montieu wants to see you
in his Office" Little waves CT excitement
vibrated along Tony'S nerve wires. 1t
was about her sketch, "Treebloom." She
was filling in color for one of the
designers, but she put down her brushes
and hurried to the Office with a
buoyancy that scarcely allowed her feet
to touch the floor. M. Montieu greeted
her pleasantly.
"You have done very good work, ma
petite, Montieu said, regarding her from
under the shelves of his bristling brcws.
You show promise. The 'Treebloom'
is-original?"
"Oh yes, sir-that is, I have never
seen it done"
And the idea2 You had, perhaps,
an inspiration?"
Il did. 1t was a chestnut tree in
bloom. saw it in Watercolor in the
Modern Galleries, the art shop where I
worked before I came here. I've seen

ones, mean-in the town where lived
but it wasn't until came to the city
and thought Of being a designer that
I ever translated trees and fogs and
Skies things like that, into clothes.

"Eh bien Nature is the truest artist

The weekly sum you are paid will be in

At noon Tony went to lunch with a
young woman from the studio at the
Tres Arts Club. The club was an
organization for students of the three
arts-muSic, painting, dancing. 1t
maintained its own clubhouse, where
members could live at a nominal cost
and where an atmosphere Of congenial-
ity and helpfulness could be main
tanned. Only one room for residence
was available in the clubhouse. The
young woman from the studio asked
Tony if she would care to occupy it.
She was a member of the admissions
committee and would vouch for Tony.
Ten dollars week breakfast included.

Tony said when she had inspected the
room, so cozy with its rust carpet and

SYNOPSIS FOR PRECEDING
TNGTAIIMENTl

Tony Brookes was orphaned when she was
1e by an automobile accident in Centervile,
her home town. She lost her first job in a
New York dress shop and one in an art gall
lery because she was too honest about the
wares she offered. Leslie Uee) Moran. a
model was discharged at the dress shop the
same day Tony. Lee had no money and
Tony shared her third-hoor back room at
dancer at El Tango. where she met middle
aged Adam Leonard. whom she called Uncle
Lenny. While the two girls were at night
club with Leonard and Donald Kemp. a law
yer in another city, Mrs. Leonard saw them
and made a scene. Leonard unhappily mar
ried, had Kemp arrange a divorce for him.
Lee astonished Tony by telling her she was
to pose as correspondent. Tony fell in love
with Tom Stewart. young engineer who
was in love with Lee. He waited for Tony
at Mrs. Higgins one night Just before he
was sent to New Mexico, kissed her and
seemed 10 be about to declare his love when
at their feet Tom hurried Tony
waited in vain for word from him. Lee
moved to an apartment Tony had been de-
signing dresses for some time now in the
studio Of NJ Montieu. a client of Kemps
Kemp had been very attentive and Tony
knew he loved her. Lee tricked Tony into
going TO a week end party at fashionable
Haven Beach. To escape the attentions OF

his car. walked back to her hotel and caught

breakfast, and one meal day is bet
ter than going back there I'd be so
depressed I couldn't do anything with
my sketches.
AS she hurried along the street OF
drab brownStone houses that evening,
the street wherein she had known those
few fieeting moments Of ecstasy with
Tom Stewart and wherein she had so
often felt the defeat of the city press
ing upon her, Tony knew the homing
instinct in her was tugging at her
heartStrings 1t was like leaving the
white house with the green shutters in
Centerville, home of her youth, of her
carefree girlhood. Not so poignant,
perhaps, except for the memory of
tall lean figure In the dim hall under
the wilted red paper shade, and for the
comaraderie of Lee in the room with
the blue painted furniture. A memory.
That was as much as the tall lean
figure could ever be to her. And Lee
Lee had gone on into a world where
third floor backs were libraries or

of the Bureau of Standards, to
succeed the late DR.. George X.
Burgess, will probably soon fol-
low the installation of Roy D.
Chaplin as Secretary of Com
merce, it was believed in the
department offices today.
However. no intimation has yet
been divulged by Department Of
Standards officials as to who will
be chosen for Burgess post. DR..
James L. Briggs Is serving as act
ing director, and because of his
standing as a physicist and his
long service with the bureau his
friends have been hoping he will
be appointed director.
The fact that he lacks only
about four years of reaching the
retirement age is counted as fac
tor against his chances, however.
No other names of present Stand

mentioned in this connection.

choice of a director up to the Wis.

of the pistol with which Clarke
was killed.
There were fingerprints on the
typewriter, he said, but he could
only tell they were masculine. A
pencil found near the typewriter,
with which Lancaster told Haw-
thorne he signed the suicide
notes, was identified by Barker.
K. B. BesS, an undertaken called
by the State, identified a picture
of Haden Clarke's head. showing
the wound. He testified that the
wound was Just back Of the tenn
Pile, not above and back of the
ear.
Mrs. Keith-Miller testified that
Clarke told her and other friends
that if he killed himself, he would
do it by shooting himself through
the head, placing the pistol above
and slightly behind his ear.
Clark's Arm Bruised
Clarke's right arm bore a
bruise about the size of quarter
dollar just above the elbow, Bess
testified.
Bess said there were no powder
burns around the bullet wound in
Clarke's head. He AIDED:
"In cases of suicide, there
usually are powder burns show
ing"
Under cross-examination of
chief defense counsel Carson.
Bess said the body showed Clarke
was not in good physical condi-
ton for a man considering mar
riage.
Feeling assured it had estab-
lished the love of Lancaster for
Mrs. Keith-Miller as motive for
the killing of Clarke, the State to-
day planned to call "Chubbie" her
self back to the witness stand.
1t was the purpose of States
Attorney N. Vernon Hawthorne
to show that "Chubbie" was
swayed by emotion almost equally
intense in her account Of the
killing of the young writer. for
whose death Captain Lancaster
is on trial, charged with first
degree murder.
Incapable of Murder
In her previous appearance on
the witness stand, during six
hours and twenty minutes of
questioning, Mrs. Keith-Miller at
every opportunity affirmed her
belief that Captain Lancaster was
a man incapable of murder. that
Clarke was a neurotic with many
reasons for dependency. and
that the slain man, to whom she
was engaged to be married, had
taken his own life.
One question already was for.
mulated in Hawthorne's mind:
"YOu would do anything for
Bill Lancaster, would you nOt?"
And by her affirmative answer,
he hopes to discount any testi-
many damaging to the States
case which "Chubbie" has offered.
