Later that day. when Raynham
took the train to get back to Eng
land. he felt lonely and desolate. It
seemed to him that life had hicked
him, that fate had got the better of
him. And now he was nearing sixty.
They found him grumpy IN Lon
don. Men said old Raynham was
aging. losing his interest IN business,
wasn't half 50 keen as he used to be.
Often, when he was in company. his
eyes left the faces around him. and
stared into vacancy.

They didn't know that he saw
a white sail growing smaller and
smaller and vanishing over the
horizon.
His wife thought him crashing
bore and saw very little of him.
Whenever he could get a few days,
he went off with Random to the
house on the sands. But he missed
something. There was no one there
now to sympathize with the man
whom only one fellow understood,
this man who hated the shriel1ng
mate1iaism of the age and was dis
contented with his lot.
And two years went by.
Then one evening. when Raynham
arrived at the house on the sands. he
found on the sitting room table an
envelope that bore signs of a long
journey. He tore open the envelope,
and read: "On board the White
Witch, Fatuhiva Island, Mendafa
Group. Marquesas Islands. Pacific"
Then he sat in his armchair. and
Lit his pipe and read eagerly. He
came to the last words of the letter:

Better than the house on the

to himself.

April ~. 1875

The articles he removed consisted of
a pipe. a plug of tobacco, a pen
knife. some small change. a bill-fold
containing four ten dollar bills and
two ones, an old-fashioned hunting
case watch and three keys on a
piece of string. Two Of them were
for cylinder locks. The lieutenant
tried them and found that they
fitted the front and rear doors
respectively.
The third was obviously a trunk
key. Ames' eyes fitted about the
room and came to rest upon the
little. old walnut chest that stood in
the corner. George remembered that
chest. It had at one time contained
all that George possessed. The gold
dust which he and Bendix had
sluiced from a barren sun drenched
canyon of the Sierra Nevadas
twenty years before. During one of
his absences from the mining claim.
the man who ambiguously had
called himself James Sandezson for
twenty years had departed. taking
the trunk and ito contents with him.
There was subtle irony in the
thought that Grbwald did not need
any of that money. now. The mining
claim had sold later for four times
the amount stolen. Bendix had been
a fool as well az a thief.
Resentment s,rged in Georges
mind at the memory Of the betrayal
of the man he had trusted; at the
memory of the two years of suffering
and privation in holding on to the
claim through two dry seasons when
sluicing was impossible, before he
finally found a buyer for it. OF the
hatred that had scared his soul
worse than the pitiless desert sum.
Bendix had left a note. in which he
had explained that he needed the
money to take care Of him during
the few years that remained to him
on earth.
George smiled cynically. Bendix
was supposed to have come West to
die of tuberculosis. He had lived to
die like the dog he was.
Lieutenant Ames laid the objects
he had taken from the dead mans
pockets on the table. as Rice entered
with Criswald's keys.
His story about borrowing the
tire iron from the garage attendant
checks, Lieutenant" he said. He
jefked his head at the dead figure.
Hes lived here for over ten years,
the garage man said"
II see." said Ames He picked up
the string with the three keys and
crossed to the walnut chest.
George felt more than safe. Bendix
would have destroyed every scrap of
evidence of his former identity.
There would be no connecting link
between himself and the dead man
no motive. Bendix would have
seen to that for his own protection.
A Western sheriff and a posse had
for a time been hard on his heels.
Hanging from the limb of a con-
venient tree would have been his
fate. had he been caught. Westerners
were VIGOROUSLY lacking in SYM
pathy for men who robbed their
mining partners. Without a motive,
the police would get nowhere.
George congratulated himself
upon how completely he had fooled
the astute lieutenant.
Ames opened the chest and was
paving through the contents. Pres

said.
Rice went outside. He returned in
a few moments.

number plates have been changed.

in the wood of the porch railing, but
no finger prints that ! can make out.
Somebody's going to pay for this"
A wave of elation swept through
George. He had been careful to wear
gloves in exchanging the numbers.
He noted the flicker of suspicion
in Ames' dark eyes. He knew what
was going on in the heutenant's
mind, but he felt very secure and
confident. The officer was looking at
the still figure in the doorway.

George made an elaborate show at

ascertained that he returned from
somewhere in Manhattan on the

Ames nodded.

SUPREME COURT GIVES DECISION
 ON NRA CLAUSE
Government Has No Right to Attempt to Curtail
 Oil Production

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-In the first decision on the Federal New Deal legislation, the Supreme Court held invalid the clause of MIRA un- der which the Government is at tempting to curtail oil production.
 The belief is expressed on Capi- tol Hill that the Supreme Courts action in scrapping the oil con- trol provision in MIRA spelled doom for some other New Deal legisla- ton, especially some of the laws designed on the agricultural pro- gram.
 The section scrapped was 9-C under which the Government is undertaking to bar from inter state commerce oil produced in ex- cess of quotas fixed by state agen- cies. This is known as "hot oil"
 Secretary of Interior Ickes noted the decision "did not rule on the oil code" embodied in other parts of MIRA.
 We still have that code and will continue to operate" the Secretary declared. we will attempt to reg ulate hot oil with every source we have"

ELECTIONS IN OCTOBER?

It's all very complicated-Sum- ners' proof. For example, his bill reads like this:
 A bill to change tne time of the appointment of Presidential cleo tors: That Section 131 of the Re vised Statutes USC. title 8 sec. D Is amended to read as fol- lows: Sec. 131. The electors oi President and Vice President shall be appointed. in each state, on Tuesday after the first Monday in October, in every fourth year suc- ceeding every election, etc. ct al.'
 All of which merely means that Summers is attempting to change the date of general elections from November to October.
 He has worked out an elaborate chart-a sort of moveable calenda. starting with the next presidential election year and going as far into the future as 1972-73.

 He had succeeded in having Con gress meet within Al days after a general election-for the first time in history.
 Apparently, however, Norris job is not yet completed. At least that's what one of the foremost constitutional lawyers in Congress thinks.

Object Used by Abductors Placed Against Wall
 Tn Courtroom
CHARTS OF LINDBERGH HOME HANGING ABOVE
Defense Counsel for Haupt- mann Outlines Three
 Points Tn Trial

FLEMlNGlOIN, N. J., Jan. 8.-The ladder used by the kidnaper who abducted Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, which is one of the most im- p0rtant exhibits in the case at point of issue when the fifth day of the Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann trial was re- stunned this morning, rested against the wall in the court room near the witness chair.
 Above the ladder were charts of the Lindbregh home and area around Hopewell.
 The s tat e is fighting to have the ladder accepted as evidence and the defense is determined to keep it out.
 Hauptmann came into court this morning in his most cheerful mood since the trial began.
 After listening to the first testi- mony regaring the ladder, Haupt- mann turned to his guard and said:
 If I made that ladder I would be second rate carpenter"
 Hauptmann smiled as witnesses described the ladder. He ate heart fly this morning and slept soundly last night.
 Defense Plans
 Chief Defense Counsel Edward J. Reilly, in announcing he will att tempt to connect several of the State witnesses with the staying of the baby, said the defense would be divided in three parts. first,
 we shall establish an alibi; sec ond. this will concern handwriting on the notes; third, will hay to do with connecting those who r ye testified with the theft of the baby"
 Hauptmann Identified Hauptmann was identified twice today by witnesses. Amandus Hochmuth aged S7, former Lindbergh neighbor. idei ti- fled Hauptmann as man witl ladder in his car near the Lind bergh home on the day of the crime.
 John Perrone, Bronx taxicab driver. pointed to Hauptnlann as the man who gave him a si ,il to deliver note to Dr John r. Condon during March, 1882 The courtroom was hushed as the identifications were made Lights Go Out While Hochmuta laid hand on Hauptmanns shoulder in the i'd m tification. the lights unaccount&oly went out in the court room. Hauptmann shook his head in negation at the Identification. He glared at me out of the car as if he saw a ghost" Hoch- nuth said. The witness said he also saw some of the ladder" in Hauptmann's car.
 Perrone's Testimony Perrone said he had occasion to deliver a letter to Dr. Condon, giv- en him by a man who gave him isl for the service and who took down the number of his auto li- 1 cense.
 Asked to name the man who gave him the envelope, Peronne pointed to Hauptmann and then walked down the aisle and placed his hand on Hauptmann's shoulder
 and said: This is the man."
 Ladder Blocked
 The defense again successfully blocked the States attempt to
 present the ladder as evidence but
 another attempt will be made later.
 It is learned that Hauptmann
 numbled: You are liar" when
 .he taxicab man identified him as ithe one who gave him an envelope.
