Buchanan nodded, took the
sheet of paper containing MILL
cents fingerprints, and almost
ran through the door.
Sergeant Mahoney stared across
at Millicent and said accusingly,
"Why didn't you tell me you were
! in Harry Feiding's room?'
Millicent sat silent 3 !
Mahoney went on, thoughtful
lily. "You were trying to shadow
someone last night. That means,
of course, that someone else was
out. That someone might have
been the one who committed the
murder, where if not for the in
eliminating evidence which now
indicates that you went to Harry
Felding's ROOM"
MilEcent continued to say moth
ing.
"Was Harry Fielding there when
you entered his room?"
"You have tricked me-" Mill
cent said, fighting back a desire
to burst into tears. 81 am not
going to answer another one OF
your questions.
Because you're afraid to-"
Sergeant Mahoney inquired.
Because l don't have to, and
because | don't choose to-"
You'll have to sooner or lat
er. You'll be called before the
cOroner's jury and perhaps the
grand Jury"
"Pll have an attorney to rep
resent me, them" Millicent said
with a show of courage she did
not feel.
Sergeant Mahoney lit a cigaret,
smoked it III contemplative ST.
lence for a few moments, then
raised his eyes to stare steadily
at Millicent.
81 don't think you did it," he
told her. 81 wish you'd come
clean with me. 1t would simplify
things enormously. If you don't
tell me the whole truth, things
are going to go hard with you.
If you do, there's a chance l can

Il am telling you nothing"
Millicent said.
"Who was the person you were

She ignored his question.
"Was it man or woman"
Once more she sat perfectly
silent.
Sergeant Mahoney took a note

"Well, anyway" he said, "we'll
get the license number of that
automobile you were following.
What did you say it was
9J4301?" -,
She started to correct him and
give him the right number, then
changed her mind and clamped
her lips tightly together.
Sergeant Mahoney started to
say something else, but was inter
rupted, as running feet sounded
in the corridor. The door of Mil

Sergeant Mahoney made a quick
motion. He raised his hand, palm
outward, but Detective Buchanan
failed to interpret the gesture.
That flask" Buchanan said.
Its been smashed into a million
pieces. Someone ground it into
powder with a bronze book-end. "
Sergeant Mahoney sighed,
shrugged his shoulders, and said
very softly, "When you get to be
a better detective, Buchanan, you
will know better than to leave
valuable bits of evidence around
where suspects can get hold of
them. You'll also know better
than to tell other suspects when

IF you'd had sense enough to tell
Miss GRADES her fingerprints

she's have made a statement. As
it is, she'll take advantage of the
situation by keeping quiet"

dried her hands, surveyed herself
in the mirror, made up her mind
that she would go directly to Mr..
Happ and explain to him Just
why she had borrowed Bob
Caise's automobile.
She stepped from her bath
room. opened the door to her
room, and suddenly recoiled.
A masked man, wearing an
oveicoat with the collar turned

ing the drawers of her dresser.
He heard the sound of the door
from the bathroom opening and
swung around to face Millicent.
She could see his eyes cleaning
through the holes in the mask.
Millicent gave half-stifled

the door through which the men

Sergeant Mahoney shook his

on the pad of paper. "These,"
he said, "are sufficient. That's
the type of print you'd find on a
flask. You wouldn't find a rolled
print on a glass bottle"
Millicent, having jerked her
hand free, regarded the linked
tips of her fingers Indignantly.
Then she glanced, with something
of panic in her eyes, over to the
pad of white paper which Ser

saw that the tips of her fingers
had left very iegible prints on the

CITY TO RECEIVE
 TAXES FROM B-W
Judge Hincks Orders Pay- ment of $32,327--N0
 Interest Allowed

The City of Waterbury benefits to the extent of $32,327 as a re- suit of an order handed down yes- terday in the U. s. district court at New Haven by Judge Carroll c. Hincks. He ordered the trustees of the Beardsley and Wolcott Manufacturing company to pay the back taxes owed the city and they amount to $32,327.
 At the same time Judge Hincks disallowed the city's claim for in- terest on the back taxes. The Beardsley and Wolcott company is now in the process of reorganiza- ton under the federal bankruptcy act. Judge Hincks ruled that while the claim of. the city. for taxes Is a preferred one it has no right to lcvy penalty for uncollected taxes on any person or firm that is in bankruptcy.
 As a result of the ruling ot Judge Hincks the city loses over $13,000 in interest.

Old Man Winter Sends Greetings

New England Is noted for the vagaries of its weather, but seldom has been so con. sistent by being inconcon- sistcnt as 1t has been this week. Rain, thought early risers this morning, had made this week bad without the need of temperatures that chilled one to the bone.
 The mercury, between 5:15 and 1880 this morning was down to 54 degrees, which / would be mild i'm the winter but which is almost un. precedcntedIy low for the last month of summer. The morn- ing's low temperatures, plus the constant rain which fell from Monday to Friday, has made the weather of the past week as unusual as any this year.
 Yesterday and last night, the mercury showed barely at the 60 mark, considerably lower than the average for this time of year. Late last night, the temperature began dropping until the 54 mark was reached this morning.
 During the first days of this month, many times more rain has fallen than fell during the entire month of August. Last months precipitation was but .9S inches, while. already this month, close to 5 inches of rain has been noted in the city.
 The pessimistic, early this morning, we're scanning the heavens for signs O" snow.
