Wigs Triumphant

From the days Of the Stuarts to
the age Of Johnson and Goldsmith the
wigmaker's craft was one of the bust
est in London, but it now owes its sur
vival to the lawyers, the full-bottomed
wigs Of judges and the bobbed wig
of the barristers being still made q
the old-fashioned horsehair. The thea
trical wigs, which make old men
young on the stage, and turn a pretty
young actress into grandmother, are
not designed for long wear; but both
kinds are made entirely by hand, no
machinery being able to supersede the
skilled Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

Hannigan, not bothermg to add that the
arrest was due solely to two nights quick

rose. "The dirty beast! 1t was his fault as

i just - oh, whatu they do to me
what II they dor" she ended on long wailing
note.
Chief Hannigan shut off dictaphone
concealed in his desk and spoke to his Sec
retary in the next room through the Office
communication, "Get that. Scanlon? When
you've typed it, bring it in.''
There was period Of silence broken only
by the sobs of the woman. Then Scanlon
entered with typed sheet of white paper.
The telephone rang.
''Sign it here" said Hannigan, placing the
paper before her. He picked up the receiver,
but kept one eye on the crumpled, shaking
person Of Edna Sloane as she affixed her sig
nature to the confession.
Hello. Coroner Riggs speaking" The
words came briskly over the wire. "Just
finished that autopsy, Chief. Sorry - because
of the type of embalming fluid used and the
length of time buried, we're unable to prove
any poison
Chief Hannigan put down the phone. He
smiled at Mrs. Sloane Scanlon was neatly
blotting her name on the paper.
Evening star., 1935-09-01

Chief Hannigan's glance was somewhat
exasperated.
'Bowens going on his vacation this Satur-
day" Sloane persisted; "Ednas turned in her
notice too. There's an examiner coming for the
half-yearly check on Bates books the first
of the week."
You make it all fit prettily, don't you?"
said Hannigan. I'm bet you never liked your
sister -in-law anyhow"
II tell you l -" Sloane's anger seemed to
choke him.
Keep your shirt on" advised the Chief.
Button up and go home. Yeah. and stay
buttoned up till I call you."
1t was three days later. Chief Hannigan
looked at the pale prettiness of the woman
who sat across the desk from him. At his
request she had come willingly enough, though
she was clearly bewildTed.
But don't see why you're asking me all
these questions" Edna Sloanes hand ffut-
tered helplessly.
Il told you, Mrs. Sloane" he repeated
patiently, we're not satisfied with the details
of your husbands death. know it's un-
pleasant, but surely you'd rather give your
permission to an autopsy and find out if

smieked, mol won't have Joe dug up

Now think hard, Mrs. Sloane. The Chief
spoke very carefully. I'm asking you again.
Won't you agree? It'll be so much better if

mo - no! l won't i"
Wait - l. might as well tell you
Chief Hannigan leaned across the desk His
tone was deadly quiet. We've already ex-

shrink in the chair. my God! Then you

Chief Hannigan eyed the man
from under bushy eyebrows.
You went to your brothers funeral didn't
you?'
Yes - last March,
six months ago. You didn't think it was
murder then. did you?"
No but | think it now" The fellow
snapped out his words almost as brusquely as
the Chief himself. II tell you want post
mortem"
Huh Hannigan settled back in his chair
He had not been chief of police for ten years
in town of more than two hundred thousand
without running into all sorts of people who
were certain of murders that had not been
committed Some families are queer that way
This fellow, Frank Sloane - appeared to be
about thirty five, neat, careful dresser, stub
born-looking - ask him some more questions,
try him out Bit Il suppose you know who
did it?"
Il said l want a post mortem." Sloane
repeated.
Have to get his wife's permission for an
exhumation. Mentioned it to her1"
The mans eyes looked squarely into his
with strange expression in them. He said
nothing.

waited for moment. who signed the death

DIR. John McLeish - family doctor. He
wouldn't suspect anything. Called it acute

Maybe it was" observed the Chief drily
Then added, You said while ago that,
according to your sister -n-law, your brother
ate a good dinner. drank glass of orange
juice as usual, before going to bed in perfectly
good spirits, and the next morning she found
him dead. That right?'
Right" the man nodded.
That happens sometimes. It's possible"
The Chief paused second. did he sleep in

He slept on day-bed in the living room,"
explained Sloane.

Thought you told me he was worried
about money - working on small job"
Hannigan snapped at him. How could he
afford place with more than one rooml'
Edna went back to work." answered
Sloane.
Sounds like a decent sort of WIFE" re-
marked the Chief.
Frank Sloane's reply was wry smile.
The Chief asked some more questions.
Among other things, he learned that Joe had
been an electrical engineer had lost his job
when bad times came along, had used up all
his savings. and finally had been obliged to
go to work on charity project at small pay.
Edna had been secretary before he married
her, had given up her position when he had
been making plenty, but later had been m-
happy living on Joe's small earnings and had
taken job in the accounting department of
the Bates Factory. 1t let them live little
more comfortably.
Il used to work for Bates" explained
Sloane, but they had to cut down. lost my
job before Joe lost his. My wife and went out
to Centerville, where her parents live. and
got place there. When things began to pick
up, the Bates people gave me my Old job
again. I'm working there now. Just got back"
That's good luck" remarked the Chief
Gives you an alibi too, doesn't it?"
Frank Sloane looked startled. What do
you mean?"
Nothing. just remembered fellow came
in here one time and insisted on an investiga-
ton. He thought some others had got sus-
picious, and he d beat 'em to it. Turned out
he did it himself. But you got an alibi. Go
ahead"
Sloane's anger took hold a moment and
then subsided
What you got against her - except she
went back to work? ?" asked the Chief
Edna S been spending too much money -
more than Joe had, more than she earns. She's
been running around with Tom Bowen -
he's Bates cashier. I'd been here about
month before any of the boys had the nerve
to tip me off. She'd been cheating since
while before Joe died."
"Joe know it?''

Of such rumors.
