Marshall would not name any others

but it was understood the list included
Ellis H Parker. chief of Burlington
County detectives; Mrs. Anna Bading,

James S. Kirkham, the Mercer
County detective who formally charged
Wendell with the crime in a dramatic
move the night before Bruno Richard
Hauptmann was to die in the electric
chair for the kidnapping, is also ex-
pected to be called.
Wendell, a disbarred Trenton lawyer
wanted by Mercer County authorities
on several minor charges. said he was
held prisoner in Brooklyn 10 days by
four men who tortured, him into
"confessing" he kidnapped the Lind

His story prompted the investigation

SYNOPSIS

In 1885 Saul Pattern Of Virginia
came into the beautiful virgin coun-
try of the Big Sandy valley in
Kentucky. Chief of the perils were
the Shawnees who sought to hold
their lands from the ever encroach-
ing whites. From huge pinnacle
Saul gazed upon the fat bottoms and
the endless acres of forest in it's pri-
meval quietude at the mouth of the
Wolfpen, and felt an eagerness to
possess it, declaring it place fit
for man to LIVE in! Five years
later he returned with Barton, his
fifteen-year-old son, and built a rude
cabin. In Saul's absence the In
dams attacked Barton and wounded
him so badly Saul was forced to re-
turn with him to Virginia. In 1895,
when it was reasonably safe, Saul
returned with his family and a pat
ent for 1000 acres, this time to
stay. He added to the cabin, planted
crops and fattened his stock on the
rich meadows. Soon other settlers
arrived. A century later, in the
spring of 1885, we find Cynthia Pat
tern, of the fifth generation follow

CHELLENBERGER was in good
~ spirits the next morning. He
rose early with the family, and in
stead of using the blue washbowl
which Julia had placed in his room,
he came down to the yard and
joined with the boys at the wash
rock, dashing cold water from the
we'll over his face and neck. He
talked easily with them about the
lumber business back in Pennsyl-
vania and spoke further at the
breakfast table of the way the coun-
try was growing, the cities booming,
and the Ohio valley filling up, and
markets expanding, and how that
made it just the right time to open
up big tract of timber like Spar

"And yet you have to pay taxes

Shellenberger filled his pipe care

Shellenberger turned to SpaErel.

looked at it pretty carefully as I
rode over here. You own every

you?"
"Just about, l reckon"
"What do you think that land is
worth to your
well" Sparrel said, Il just
hadn't thought anything about what
it's worth. There's a fine stand of
timber in there"
I'm told that land in this coun-
try is valued from dollar to a
dollar and a half an acre. Of
course bottom-land alone is worth
more. I'll tell you what I'm pre-
pared to do, Mr.. Pattern. If you'll
sell me few thousand acres of this
timber hill land, I'll pay you four
dollars an acre for it. You would
still have more land than you could
keep your eyes on; it wouldn't touch
your farms or your meadow land"
Spared was in no hurry to speak.
The proposal lay in the space be-
tween them.
Il hadn't thought anything about
selling off any of it. guess I'd
just about as soon have my land,''
he said.
II am offering you a price about
three times what hill land is WORTH
Spared thought about this a few
minutes in silence. Cynthia in the
kitchen could hear words from the
talk and she began to see the hills

more now than it had ever been be-
fore or would likely be again. He
disconnected Julia by offering to pay
for his nights lodging. He gave
Nelson a coin for guiding him over
the mountain, and went with Spar
rel to the barn to get mount for
his journey. Spared let him have
one of his saddle mules, as a part of
his hospitality to the stranger, and
told him how to leave it in Hardin
Slusser's stable below the court
house at Pikeville and he would get
it when he rode over at the end of
the week on his monthly trip to
town.
"You think over my proposition
for few days, Mr.. Pattern" Shell
lenberger said. you can't afford to
turn it down. Look me up at the
hotel at the end of the week." He
climbed awkwardly into the saddle
as the mule jumped about under
him.
.'You just follow the creek right
on around and you won't have bit
of trouble finding the way" Spared
said.

'That's for your daddy to decide,
Cynthia" Julia answered. Their
thoughts slipped back privately
into silence Julia rolled the flour
paste from her hands and went to
her garden to be with herself. Gym
thia watched her for a while from
the door, bordering the great con-
tentment of Julia as she put seeds
into the fine ground of her gar
den. Then as she went into the
weaving-room to make cloth for
winter shirts for the men, she medi-
tated on Julia's words and the
change of the mood on Wolfpen
since she sat last at the loom.
Jesse drove the cows up the lane
by the garden and into Messy Bot
tom meadow. There he leaned on
the bars watching the cows spread
up the hollow, hearing them tear
the crisp new grass with their
rough tongues.
Abral, coming back from seeing
Nelson on his way up the branch,
found Jesse leaning on the bars.
What do you think of that fell
ler?" Abral said, climbing on the
top bar and biting at straw.
He is all right, guess

Teller might go out and then come
back. Even the old Patterns had
to come from somewhere else be-
fore they got here, didn't they? If
one of them hadn't come from the
old country and another one of
them hadn't come over here from
Virginia, we wouldn't be here would
we? We'd already be some place
else"
Jesse remained silent, for he
liked Abral when he plunged head
long with one of his notions.
I'D like to see some of the world,
and drive cattle down the river
for a drover, or be a drover my
self maybe and buy cattle. I'd like
to take a raft down the Big Sandy

to-" Abral said.
Eyes, and we ought to finish up
the Long Bottom and get it plant

gone. Come on" Jesse said.
Spared closed the gate behind
Shellenberger. He stood with his
right hand still lifted in farewell,
observing that the man did not
know how to put his knees into
fine saddle mule. AS Shellenberger
disappeared down Wolfpen, Spared
! turned back through the lot to-
ward the barn, feeling that the
morning was advancing and the
self-contained mood which had al
ways borne him through the spring
work was suddenly broken. He
should be caring for the new lambs
and getting the boys into the Long
Bottom and carrying forward the
daily work Of the place, but some
fragile quality had been shattered
out of the delicate balance which
had made all the yesterdays full Of
content in these things. He went
into the barn through the thick
smell of horses; then he crossed
the harness and-saddle room through
the sweet odor of leather, and went
into the alcove where he prepared

had unhinged the easy swing of life.
He brought with him strange rest
lessness and left a portion of it in
Wolfpen Bottoms.
Julia looked over the palings of
her garden into indefinite space and
tasted the feeling of disturbance.
Jesse rubbed the black saddle of the
shepherd which had bounded back
from the barn. Jasper stood by the
woodlot playing idly with the catch
on the gate, and then walked down
toward the sheepfold.
Cynthia sat on stool near the
kitchen door looking into the cloud
tangles above the Pinnacle. "The
white clouds are soft as lambs wool
in bag and there could be no burs
to pick out of it. If body could
sit on a fold of cloud and lean back
against a fluff of woolpack and

the rush of an orioles wing, and
that wouldn't pain something inside
of you. | guess it must be because

! Their Saul feels an ache in his long
legs, and Grandfather Barton gives
cough, and Grandfather Tivis,

whole valley filling up with unpaint

if you sat all night in Cassiopeia's
Chair and went about above things
under a veil of moonlight when evil
is hidden and the moan of trees and
the cry Of young eve can't be
heard because stars sing and you
breathe the sweet influence of the
Pleiades, and in the daytime you
watched the wind play in the white
cloud mist under you and wave
it the way breeze from the hol-
low plays in the beard of the wheat
before storm, then maybe a body
wouldn't think about the hurt
things in the world at ALL"
While she was dreaming farther
and farther away into the blue bend
of the sky, a black cloud in drag
on's shape crashed into the white
puffs above Cranesnest.
'The breakfast things are getting
dry and harder to wash, Cynthia, }"
Julia said.
The kitchen was dark after the
sharp sunlight. They worked in 81
lence for a while, Cynthia washing
the dishes, Julia mixing yeast into
the white flour and setting it in
wooden bowl on the hearth. Then
Cynthia spoke, the words making
audible fragment of her thought
as it passed easily out of the 81
lence.
"Will Daddy sell him any of our
land?"
That's for your daddy to say,
Cynthia"
"I'd not like to see our place
look like some of the hills over
on Sandy where they've logged"

to build houses with in the towns
and we oughtn't to hold it just be-
