CHAPTER III

How well I remember the day
that the real story Of the Paige
case broke! A case which is the
most singular and the most dra-
matte of my entire career as
crime reporter.
It was a rainy, misty morn
ing and I came to my desk IN
the ramShackle old office over
looking the harbor, with a
grudge against every living
thing-murderers in particular.
I had just returned from the
Blair case at Havre de Grace,
the one in which Mrs. Blair was
found guilty Of poisoning her
15-year-old boy. A grueSome
case, that! My head ached and
my shoulder ached and every
bone in my body ached. I had
just spent two nights with Bill
Clayton, the tographer, sleep
ing on mounds in the graveyard,
trying to get q story and some
good pictures Of the burial Of
the lad.
I got the story all right, but
some fat country dick caught us
and gave us the thre thing Of our
lives and then chucked us over
the fence, breaking Bills camera
to smithereens.

But in spite Of our victory, I
was feeling far from good. Any
decent reporter ought to be able
to get away with murder itself,
let alone q few snaps in Q hick

My first action upon arriving
at the office that morning was
to tack a large and prominent
sign over my desk:
ANYBODY INQUIR1NG HOW
I FEEL WILL GET A BLACK
EYE.
I didn't expect it to shut off
any inquiries but it made me
feel better.
Bob Reynolds, the Managing
Editor, was the first to notice
my return and to descend on
me.
Had a nice trip, I take it?"
he said casually, glancing at the
sign with interest. THE pic
lures were perfectly rotten I
wouldn't have used them if
there'd been anything else!"
'Uh-huh," I grunted. Go
tell it to Clayton. He's the

moment later Carroll, flushed
and angry and still arguing,
found the interview at an end.
However, he sought out Ser
geant Williams, although he was
certain that if the Inspector
laid no value upon his clue, the
Sergeant would lay even less.
That was exactly the way it
worked out. Williams was af-
fable, pleasant, interested in
the story, but he attached not
the slightest Importance to it.
There was no motive for q
murder" he told Carroll. "All
the doors and windows were
locked. Not a thing was dis
turbed. Death was due to
Strangulation."
How do you know it WASP"
argued Carroll. "She was hang
ing to the chandelier, of course,
but there wasn't any autopsy
performed. You could reopen
the case and have that done,
anyway. Paige may have killed
her and hung her there him
self"
"Are you crazy, boy?" cried
the Sergeant, whistling with
surprise. For heavens sake,
don't go around suggesting
like that. Why the Paiges are
among our oldest and most
ariStocratic families. You'll get
the Department into no end of
trouble"
"I don't care how much trou-
BILE I get the Department into.
I'm not saying that Ranny
Paige did kill his wife. I'm
just saying that I think the
case ought to be properly in
vestigated, as it has not been
done up to the present time.

aren't connected with this par

concerning it. I have no doubts

That's a good boy. Now don't
stir up any more trouble"
"I have just this to say" an
Swered Carroll, his voice trem-
bling with indignation. 'n I
can't persuade you to listen to
me, than I shall have to go
about reopening the case in my
own way.

the stigma of a suicide rest
over Mrs. Paige's name unless
some actual investigation Is
made into the matter. BY the
way, could I be allowed to see
the photographs which were
made at the house this morn
ing?"
"You sure can," responded
williams agreeably. Not only
see 'em but have these copies,
if you want" He took two pic
lures from q folder on his desk
and handed them to Carroll.

briefly. It'd like to study these.

Did They Light Mura

Two young men about town
are still trying to explain to
the mother Of one why she
found an unlimited guest in
her apartment when she re-
turned from a recent weekend
trip.
The absence Of the mother
provided a splendid opportun-
ity for a Sunday night party.
After numerous libations, and
after guests had apparently de-
parted, the two youths retired.
They awoke the next morning
and believing the apartment
was deserted began to discuss
events Of the prior evening.
Just then a young woman
walked in and explained that
she had fallen asleep in an
other room. In the midst Of
her explanation the youths

Both of them engaged in the

In the midst Of their gyrationS

knowingly avoided the impact
that would have caused con.

FILM DEPICTS BACKsTAGE OF RADIO WORLD


 Are You Listening?" a dramatic romance based on J. P McEvoy's magazine story of radio broadcast ing, will be the attraction start ing Friday at the Dream Theatre.
 The story, laid behind the scenes of national broadcasting sta tion, gives William Haines his first dramatic role in which he abandons his more familiar comedy tricks for Il compelling delineation as a radio exploiteer whose happiness carshes about his ears as the re- suit of an unfortunate marriage.
 The plot revolves about a three fold romance and depicts tha var iousz careers of three small-town sisters who come to New York to win fame and fortune. All of them end 4up in radio work and 1t Is the inside slant on thclr broadcasting activities combined with the de- pietion of what goes on in their private lives which gives the pie ture it's dramatic structure. Hu- morus itnerludes in the broadcast ing station, jazz party in a New York penthouse apartment and oth CT froliesome details lend comedy relief to the serious narrative which underlies the drama.
 The story includes what Is be- lieved to be one of the most excit ing "chases'' yet depicted on the screen. It is in this sequence that Haines. accused of the murder of his wife. attempts to make his get |sway by automobile, but is sub seQuently tricked into revealing his where abouts by the ruthless editor of tabloid newspaper who makes an ingenious use of radio in catching his prey.
 Besides Haines, the large cast of featured players includes Madge Evans. Anita Page. Karen Horley, Neil Hamilton, Wallace Ford. Jean Hersholt and Joan Marsh.
