persons working frantically over his dead
body, removing it from an easy chair and

through the window while the police are
on the way, but I hold him until they
arrive.
The two servants ascribe the mans
death to an attack of heart disease. but
the police doctor, after examination, de-
ciares that Lucas has been murdered BY
poisoning.
A thorough search OF the apartment
reveals only one clue. a typewritten note
bearing no signature, written by some one
obviously unfamiliar with a typewriter.
The note says: Better stick to your high
society ladies or you'll regret it," The
author of this note cannot be found but
a detective establishes the fact that il
was written On the dead mans own type
writer.
The h~ousekeeper then tells her story,
disclosing that the Representative is a
Negro and that she is his common-law
wife. She also discloses the fact that he
had been having an affair with a Wash
1ngton woman. a white widow, since mis-
arrival in the capital city.
