THE STORY so FAR

T ESTER kLAY was surprised ON his third
evening in Baxter City to hear his tele-
phone ring. A wrong number, the
young attorney thought; for he had no friends
in the town. An unknown voice answered his
hello" and made very unusual request, but
Klay had no thought of danger.
He might well have; for that very day he
had made enemies of the ruthless political
gangsters who controlled the city government
He admitted ne had come to fight their ma
chine in order to vindicate his brother, who
had been sent to prison by Judge DMane. a
dupe of the corrupt Helming and his hench-
man Richmond.
But Klay was not thinking of his enemies
that night as the voice over the wire told him
that Crawford, the newspaper publisher, was
speaking; that he was about to print an
expose of the political situation and needed
an attorney at once. Klay hurried to Craw-
ford's home office - and found him crumpled
beside his desk, two bullets in his body. Klay
suspected then that he was being framed; as
footsteps approached, he grabbed an appoint
ment book lying on the desk as a possible
clew to the real killer, and fled through
window
The next day the gun that killed Crawford
was found in the car of a roadhouse owner,
Frink He was charged with the murder and
Klay, despite his protests. was appointed to
defend Frink. Kay realized that to admit he
had been at Crawford's about the time of the
murder might free his client but it might also
put his own head into hangmans moose.
Klay then discovered from friendly Police
Captain Gregg that the police had thumb
print of the person who jumped through
Crawford's window after the murder About
the same time the crooked politician Rich
mond hinted that he had proof Klay had been
at the scene of the murder and intimated
that if Klay would have Frink plead guilty
to second degree murder. it would be ac-
cepted by the Judge and the affair would be
hushed up. Think it over" said Richmond.
