A coronerS jury at Ell Centro
Saturday found that Clyde Oliver
came to his death by a gunShot

jail on a charge of murder. The
Negro killing climaxed an argu-

some blunt instrument, the causes
of the blow unknown to the jury.
1t is generally accepted that Nall
was the victim of a hit and run
driver Thanksgiving night.
John L. Hewitt was the aggressor
in fight which ended in his
death, and was drunk at the time
he forced Raymond S. Niemeyer to
shoot him in the abdomen Thanks

This case probably will be re-

from 10 to IL. from IL to 2,
to four-then, with five, came
the flood OF morning light.
But now the place was no
longer flat, no longer white.
Two things lay there in twisted,
broken heaps. Two pools seaped
red into the hard, pale clay. So
a laborer found them. Fled jerk
ing into town. .
But when in that stiffness was
this chaos done? BY whom?
For why?
Simple Solution
A simple solution? Maybe.
Maybe not. You know the story.
The man-Edward Brinker, lr.,
a flyweight philanderer. Pudgy-
pretty face. Trick mustache.
Paving eyes with puffs beneath.
The - runt!" his father-in-
law calls him. Yet even that
father-in-law admits his charm
and staked thousands of dollars on
the brains that someone so casual
ly spilled.
His divorced first wife, big,
soft. simple Ruth Brinker-Soo-
bling in horror and heartbreak-
unable, even yet, to hate the man
whom she divorced, five years
ago, so that their little girl
might not grow up in the shadow
of his faithleSsnesS.
His second wife, Josephine
Nadal Tillotson-the full name
runs. She insists there was an
other-had herself known, in the
place where they lived together,
as Mrs. Brinker.
Bought him a wedding ring as
proof of their legal union. A
cheap thing-it cost her $21.
Did it cost Edward Brinker his
life?
The Girls Love
And the dead girl, Rose Welk.
A capable, friendly, decent girl
who loved Edward Brinker as
any nice girl loves the man she
thinks is nice-and hopes to
marry.
Loved him openly, proudly,
knowing nothing of wife or
woman-or the scores of other
girls whose names he tomcatted
in a greasy. black date book.
A man-three women.
A divorced man living with
second wife, secretly counting an.
other girl. Just another cheap,
modern quadrangle. But behind
those scanty, sordid facts some
thing that isn't modern-or
simple.
Something as old as hate-as
sinister as the iungle-as jungle
tom-tomS beating b n g
through gathering darkness.
Dark Girl, Fair Girl
A dark girl brooding-poisoned
by humiliation and jealousy and
fear. There is that other story
OF the two shots fired?
A fair girl, knowing nothing of
shame or anger, working happily,
planning joyously.
And a man, moving Sticky as
a shuttle, bcak and forth-back
and forth-as he mao always
moved. AS he always expected to
move. Smart guy! They couldn't
get him.
Couldn't they? Well-something
got him. Got him plenty. What?
Was that jungle vengeance
there on the edge of moonlit,
American macadam? Does Jose
phina, Shrieking in hysteria be-
fore that carrion in the morgue
...or sitting with her dark eyes
folding inward and her thin hands
clenched shut. know much-or
nothing?
And if she knows nothing-then
what? Did something larger
more sinister than even the
jungle-take Edward Drinker for
a ride? Gangdom? TAPPING mouths,
Sitting gullets-cracking open a
little, puffed up man who had
played with too many dolls?
