CHAPTER III

Jessica, disturbing to any normal
male eye in her snug white jersey, was
enchanted to meet her guardians dis
tinguished visitors "Why don't you
work in partnership, and then if what
you find is enough for both, divide?"
she asked, on learning the situation.
eff not, then you might throw dice
for it,
"The $3.50 thing suits me all right"
said Tom, "but the count might not
care for it,"
So the proposition was referred to
the count de Corlay, who shook his
head. "For one thing I am oppose to
dicing, and more than that, am not
yet prepare to admit anyone has an
equal claim to the personal property
of my ancestor"
well then, SIR said Tom, why
not put it this way, that if we locate
the Forquet you are to have all that
and I'm to have the guns, which is all
I counted on to begin with
"It would be better, / think" said
the count, shifting to French and adj
dressing Bob, eff we were each to
pursue his search in all fairness and
friendly fashion. Treasure hunting is
at the best a ticklish business, and the
less there are of complications the
better"
| To Doctor White the whole situation
was fascinating but bizarre by reason
of it's actuality. He had known al
ways the story of the corvette, but
never given it any serious thought.
And his guests bafled his habitually
clear vision of individual people. He
could not be sure about them.
Jessica was entirely at her ease
with the visitors. She merged with a
curious episode as inconspicuously as
a partridge merges with autumn leaves.
Such actually appeared to be her pro-
per medium, just as the high shade
OF elms and shadow lawns enclosed by
picket fences were those of her Aunt
Marthas
Yet Jessicas life had been shell
tered one. Her mother had been the
only child of an American missionary
to the Society Islands. AS little girl
she had lived at the mission, where all
contacts naturally were guarded, and
at thirteen had been taken to San
Francisco and placed in a girls SEM
mary, where she remained until the
death of her mother three years later

right to fish commercially in these
waters"
S'But treasure is much different
observed the count. A foreigner may
hunt for treasure, just as he may look
for gold or precious stones
well, guess that's right SIR" Tom
admitted, "but in either case findings
is keepings, with a rakeof to the gov
eminent in the case of treasure. That
puts us all on the same mark Sup
pose we leave it that way"
Doctor White interrupted at this
juncture to invite the foreign treasure
seekers to his home. The tide was ris-
ing, so they left the motor dory at the
little beach, where she would ride as
we'll as at the float. It was four o'clock
in the afternoon Of a perfect day late
in July, with few puffy clouds sailing
across the sky. Walking through the
woods to the house, Doctor White and
the Count de Corlay went on ahead,
Tom and Robert, who had fingered to
carry the boats killick above high wa
ter mark, following.
Tom said as they started, "Do you
know, this things beginning to get my
goat, Lieutenant. guess the next I'll
learn is that we've hit on the same
gear to locate the wreck"
Shouldn't wonder Great minds,
you know. Mines a galvonometer de-

Tom threw up his hands Holy
mackerel!" He staggered back against
tree. Roberts dancing eyes played
on him with a puzzled expression
| Whats struck you?"
| "The whole darned shooting MATCH"
Tom gave silent laugh, a pioneer
trait inherited from the days when
it was poor scouting to indulge audi

words he explained the principles of

Robert drew out gold cigarette

it, offered it to Tom, then, when both
had lighted up, said cheerfully, cts

ference. All the same, there must be
something in it,"
That's right" Tom agreed
They started to walk on again, in
silence for little way Robert paused
presently This Sebastien is a bad
egg. Worse than that, he's an efficient
man, trained diver and crack on
deep ground currents and all that sort
of thing. He was detailed to one of

"How did he get wise to this thing?"
Tom asked
my darn fault. was in my cabin
with my father. There's a speaking
tube to the wheel, where Sebastien
was on duty. Papa's voice is very clear
and distinct, so all Sebastien had to
do was to clap a lug to his end of
it. 1t wouldn't have mattered if it had
been one of our Bretons, but these in
fernal provincials are devilish keen.
That's how the scoundrel did u.s."

THE STORY

Tom Jordan, young New England
newspaper reporter in love with Jes-
sica Poole, is barred from becoming
an acknowledged sutton because of con-
ditions of her fathers will that her
husband must match her small for
tune with his own. To do this, Jordan
has wild hope of wealth, from the
salvage of long-sunken French cor
vette.
To Doctor White, Jessicas guardian,
Jordan reveals his hope. The doctor
is skeptical, but for Toms sake hope
full. Jessica tells them of an encoun-
ter she has with an ill-mannered sailor
and Toms ire is aroused. Two French
men, the comte de Corlay and his son
Robert, make their appearance. The
story continues:

wood exhibits.
I'VE examine the floor board eT-
dence from the Hauptmann home.
Then a juror asks how We feel
about looking the exhibits over fur
ther. We have all seen enough, one
deadly bit of evidence piled upon
another.
Probably the deciding factor in the
verdict were the testimony and evi-
dence presented by Koehler, the wood
expert.
so now comes the matter of taking
the vote.
Instructions from the Justice are
reviewed, and it is decided that we
vote on guilty or not guilty of murder

Arthur Koehler, student of woods.

Koehler traced that ladder to the
Bronx
The ladder was made of a variety
Of woods. Through forests, lumber
camps, Sawmills and freight yards
Mr.. Koehler followed these sticks. He
visited something like 10000 lumber

AT last he narrowed the search
down to the Dorm Mill, in a small
Soouth Carolina town named Nc
Cormick. There some of that ladder
lumber had been sawed and dressed.
Then it had been shipped, some to

In the yard Of the National Lum-

Mr.. Koehler found lumber that had
been shipped by Dorm. 1t had the

Then Hauptmann was caught and
his house almost taken apart. In the

should not be held in contempt of
court for refusing to give deposition

divorced husband, for custody Of
their 7-year-old daughter, Jane.
The order was signed by Edward

Superior Court, on application by
BanniSter's lawyer, Michael G. Luddy.
Twice Miss Harding had refused
to answer Luddy's questions. When
she objected to his questions in her
dressing room at a Hollywood studio
last Thursday, Luddy appealed to the
court for an order.
Contempt Charge Possible.
The court ruled Miss Harding must
appear personally July l, and show
cause why she should not answer the
questions, either before notary public
or before the Superior Court. Should
she refuse to answer, she could be
cited for contempt, Luddy said.

A digest can be prepared, he points

be facilitated by having the Record

Representative Lundeen of Mime
sofa has recommended to Congress
the printing daily Of an eight-page
digest of the Congressional Record
with an experienced newspaper man
in charge Of the work. He would not
disturb the present complete verbatim
Congressional Record, but would i'm
prove it by the addition Of a daily
index instead of the present bi-
monthly index.
Representative Lundeen argues that
members of Congress and busy con-
stituents cannot find time to read
thoroughly the present Congressional
Record, which averages about "a
pages daily. Sixty copies of the Rec
ord are allotted daily TO each member
Of Congress for distribution. Those

INDIANAPOLIS, June 22.-State
officials interviewed today to obtain
a new trial for two Huntington, W.
Va, boys under sentence to serve
life terms for the kidnapping of a
Southern Indiana sheriff.
Philip Lutz, jr., attorney general,
said he had been in conference by
telephone with Judge John L. Sumner,
who sentenced the lads, and that the
Judge was willing to set aside the
severe punishment and accept plea
of guilty to a lesser offense, probably
auto banditry.
The boys, Bascum Ray, jr., IA,
and Maurice Sheridan, II, are to be
brought before Judge Sumner again
Monday.
Their case came to the attention
of Gov. Paul v. McNutt and the at
torney general when A. F. Miles, re-
formatory superintendent, refused to
admit them, declaring the law forbids
incarceration of life-termers in his
institution.
Miles also said reformatory rules
barred admission of Ray because of
his age. Sheridan could be admit
ted except for the life term, Miles
asserted.
Bascum Ray. sr., father of young
Ray, was reported en- route here to
confer with an attorney, T. Ernest
Maholm. The attorney indicated he
would press for new trial, regardless
of what action is taken by State Of
fcers.
Judge Summer has declared that
when the boys pleaded guilty to kid
naping he had no alternative, but
was compelled by law to impose life
terms.
