It was q woman's handkerchief, but 1t
was the faint scent clinging to 1t that
brought 1t upward nearer my face. It
was familiar scent; faint delicate
whin OF q fragrance that swiftly brought
Sue to my mind. Then I recognized 1t:
1t was family like gardenias.
There was no time to think, for the
steps were at the open door of the
White Salon. But knew that during
our moment together In the ghostly
room Sue had not been near that end Of
the piano.
And I slipped the thing into my pock-
ct as three blue-capped figures burst
into the room, and the air began to
crackle with excitement and furious
questions and sputtering exclamations.
The whole thing was like q repeated
nightmare with the results that have
mentioned. It was noon before I had
q quiet word in the lounge with Lorn
and Sue.
Lorn had, of course, turned up hot
foot at the first news Of the new
tragedy. And he felt, as did I. that
the thing Of supreme importance was
to remove Sue at once from that DEATH
ridden place. And Sue at last agreed.
Il can't stand IT, any longer" said
Sue. She was white and frightened and
taut-lipped. If the murders are, as
you believe, actually the result of q
scheme to rob me Of my inheritance.
let's make an end to 1t. Heaven knows,
I'd rather lose every cent Of the money

TT was quite naturally the priests
death that brought things to their
climax. that was In itself the begin

For it was, of course, the body Of
the erstwhile priest that we found that
morning, huddled and crowded in its
black robes in the depth of the coffin
like piano. It was the priest, and he
had been poisoned, and the poison, said
the commissaire, wiser now, was again

There was a small puncture in the
skin of his right arm, and the poison.

police when he told me Of it, had been
administered quickly and deftly with q
needle It was, added Lorn more dryly
than usual, a very quick-action poison.
The priest would have had practically
no time to call for help.
It was to be expected, too. that the
murder of the priest would sharply deny
my previous calculations. Everything,
to my mind, had pointed toward the
priests guilt. But now he himself was
q victim to the insensate plan that
reckoned murder, and murder by poison,
only a counter.

"Goody, Goody, Gout" Played By Heir to
 B. V. D. Millions

New York, September 27 - (UP) - The story of a game or "Goody goody gout, your shirt tails hanging out, was told in supreme court today when Q .$4,000,000 alienation suit by Mrs Allison L. S.. Stern against Mrs Ruth Erlanger Nathan came to trial before Justice Samuel H. Hofstadter.
 The shirt tail in question belongs to Mrs Stern's husband. heir to the B.v.D. millions. The game was played in Lyncrest Inn, Elberton. N. J., after q Princeton football game in 1926. Mrs Stern charged that after Mrs Nathan pulled out her husbands shirttails. her TO- nance with the B.V.D. heir began to fade. She said Stern has left her and their two children and is paying her $1S,000 year out of an income of $5oo,ooo.
 Tt was all good clean fun" George D. Whiteside, counsel for Mrs Nathan told the jury. All they did was play 'Goody goody gout, your shirt tails hanging out, and then a little hide-and seek"
 Max Steuer, counsel for Mrs clean fun.
 Tt was sinister" he said. "Mrs Nathan came to that party and sat beside Nathan Stern. She poured out Q drink for him--a stimulant- and 1t was a bigger drink than anyone ever had seen him take up to that time. Mrs Nathan acted in giddy manner when she pulled out Mir Stern's shirt tall"
 "Just young people amusing themselves" Whiteside said.

 He said no official estimate of the loss of life in the. hurricane was possible.
 Tt Is believed" Carey said, ''that the houses that housed the inhabitants fTampico and its en- virons have been destroyed or rem dered uninhabitable. The situation in outlying districts is worse. The water supply was cut off and the fear of epidemics prevails unless an emergency supply is provided. The drainage stoppage is a serious danger"

The Hartford store is located at S7 Asylum street. How the acci- dent occurred could not be exactly determined, but 1t Is believed that the elevator door on the first floor was defective and failed to close when the elevator was taken to the second story. Apparently, thinking that the elevator was at the first floor and upon stepping into the shaft he crashed to the bottom of the pit, q drop of 1e feet.
 MT Bowling was attracted to the scene of the accident by MT McCoy's groans. He called for assistance and O Hartford police- man and fireman, assisted by Q civilian, lifted MT Mccoy from tho pit and rushed him to the hospital where his condition was immedi- ately declared critical. His death occurred this morning despite ef- forts to save his life.
 MT McCoy's numerous friends will be shocked to learn of his sudden death as he was very well known in music circles throughout the state. At one time he served as president of the local Chamber of Commerce, and his club affilia- tions here included the Waterbury Country Club. Mir Mccoy belonged to the Hartford and Pine Orchard clubs, being a golf enthusiast. He had numerous prizes to his credit. Before entering the music business In 1906 Mir Mccoy was associated with the Apothecaries Hall and Aetna Life Insurance companies.
 Archibald Rice, who was presi- dent of tho Fulton Music Company in 1908. took in MT Mccoy as his associate and through his pleasant dealings and dynamic personality the New York Piano Company. Driggs and Smith, and Skinner Music Company soon became part of the firm under the name of Full -Driggs and Smith Company. Mir Mccoy, who was president of tho concern, decided to enter out side fields and finally opened a store in Hartford in 1921 on Asy- lum street. The firm name was changed to McCoy's, Incorporated. which title is held at the present time. Soon after Mir Mccoy opened a store in Torrington and then in New Britain. MT McCoy's brother, Franklin V. Mccoy, died on May 26th after Q brief illness.

DESPERATE PRISON
 OUTBREAK ENDED AFTER LONG FIGHT
Philadelphia Jail Scene of Worst Riot as l,2OO
 Convicts Run Wild

Philadelphia, Sept 27.-(UP)- One of the most desperate out breaks in the history of Eastern State Penitentiary was quelled early today by prison guards, state police, city officers and firemen.
 Warden Herbert Smith, who was injured by a prisoner, led the re- inforced squad of peace officers in the 3-hour fight to subdue the 1900 convicts in smoke-filled, flame swept tiers.
 A half dozen of the 1908 pris- oners, among whom are 1S3 serv- ing life terms, and several guards required treatment at the prison infirmary for cuts and bruises. A dozen firemen were overcome by dense smoke from burning mat tresses.
 Warden Smith was struck on the side of the face with an improvish- cd club in the hands of a prisoner. With a surgical dressing covering the wound he directed the activities of officers.
 Smith, in a statement today, blamed crowding and shortage oi guards.
 "This trouble has been going on for sometime throughout the prison," he said, "due to the anti quated building and lack of space and shortage of guards. We have three and four men in every cell that ordinarily should have only

 Hugh Alcorn, states attorney who with Edward Hickey, county detective, learned of the proposed kidnap plot and kept Corvo and Campisi under close surveillance for weeks before the arrest, pres ented the pair in court at the end of a long day devoted to riminal cases. By pleading guilty the pair escaped trial on the charge of at- tempted Kidnapping, under which they might, if found guilty. have received 30-year sentences.

 SCENE OF MEETING
Republicans Decry Un- sportsmanlike Quibble
 on Technicality

Democrats of the city will launch their speaking program tonight with a rally at the North End "Y'', while :. this afternoon Attorney Hector Auray. acting for certain republican party interests, was preparing to 90 into the su- perior court to seek an injunction restraining the registrars of votes from placing the names of the democratic candidates on the vot- ing machines. Tonisht's rally will be featured by addresses by Mayor Frank Hayes. Controller Daniel J. Leary. City Clerk John Fitzmau- rice. City Sheriff William J. Roach and others on the ticket.
 Attorney Auray's action has heen deoried by many leading repubii- cans since 1t was suggested yestcr- day afternoon. However, Attorney Auray told . Democratic reporter that he would file the injunction proceedings this afternoon. Efforts were going on early this afternoon to have him desiet, many republi- cans considering the step unsports- manlike.
 Basis For Auray Injunction
 The Auray injunction is based on the grounds that the names of the candidates should have been filed with the town clerk three weeks before tho election. Tho state statutes, however, specifically re- fer to towns using ballots as re- quiring such action. For cities us- ing voting machines only a Ave- day notice is needed, tho statutes stipulato. Republicans and demo- crats, alike, decried the fact that Attorney Auray was attempting to resort to technicality in order to preventt he democratic candi- dates from having their names placed on the machines. The peo- pie could still vote for the demo- crats by writing in their names on tho machines.
 Tonight's rally. which will mark tho opennig. of the democratic speaking program, will be followed by a reception in Bosco's hall.

 Moscow was expected to reject the proposal before McMurray re- turns to the United States tomor- row.
 It was understood that In ad. idtion to the export quota of 47,- 000,000 bushels for the year end- ing August l, 1884. which the big four-the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentina--had al- ready offered to Russia, McMur- ray suggested an additional s. 000,000 bushels on condition that total world exports exceed the estimated 560,0oo,00o bushels.
 Moscow is adhering to its de- mand for a quota of 75,000,000 bushels, compared to 100000 % bushels allotted Canada, 47,0o0 to the United States, 110,000,000 to Argentina and 05,000,000 to Aus tralia. Russia originally demand ed 90,000,000 bushels.
 If Moscow refuses McMurray's offer, 1t is believed negotiations will be suspended until the interna- tional wheat advisory commission meets here again November 27. Fourteen countries are represent ed on the commission.
 Russia has announced she will have an export surplus in the conn ing year of 75,o00,000 to 100, ,000,- % bushels. Delegates of other countries here are alarmed at the prospect of Russian dumping on the world market, upsetting all the benefits of the agreement.
