He knew it was weak, but he
could not tell her all he really
meant. She did not believe that
ell the love and beauty Of the
past two months were gone. She
thought that there was some Spe-
cific thing that had hurt him or
annoyed him. So she agreed
quietly, tried to be good sport
about it, and privately hoped
things would work out all right.
The second week in october he
wrote what he had not been able
to say. He told her it had been a
mistake, that no thinking or ex-
perimenting would make it right,
that it was not fair to go on as
things we're between them. He
thought she would come to see it
as he did. At any rate. he wanted
her to meet him once more for
dinner on the nineteenth. They
would discuss it then and come
to a decision.
They did not meet, as he was
out of town; but the decision was
made.

went to the phone upstairs where
the family couldn't disturb me.
Hello"
Miss Julie?"
Eyes"
Inspector O'Brien. There Is
some testimony coming up that
will interest you. If you have time,
you might come down. You take
dictation. don't you?"
"A little"
Good. You can transcribe what
goes on. 1 have rather needed
someone like you. About 10:30."
I'll be there"
I was so excited I could hardly
get the green knitted skirt and
white sweater on straight. It
would be the first time I had
heard any direct questioning.
Evidently. too, it must be some
thing O'Brien thought 1 could
follow up later, for I realized the
stenography was just an excuse
for my hearing it all. I could
scarcely understand that I, Julie
Martin, was on her way to a
police inspectors office to inter
view suspect! I almost ran
down town.
The Inspector was waiting for
me.
Good morning, Miss Julie.
This is something that you will
be interested in. We got the
Googoo to talk last night. He will
tell it over again this morning,
and I want you to take it down.
First, however. we are interview
ing Mrs. Sardoni."
I was surprised, to say the
least. BY "Googoo," the Inspector
meant Hymn, the word being a
disrespectful slang for Filipinos.
I wondered why he would want
me to hear what Hymn had to
say. Surely I would not be set
on his trail. Mrs. Sardoni thrilled
me more. That woman fasci-
mated me.
Nov, Miss Julie, I think it
would be better for you to be
out of sight. How are your ears?"
Good, sir"
20. K. Then you sit in this
closet. You see there is a mirror
here which reflects this chair
through the top ventilation open
ing. So you can see the person
being questioned. Here is a chair
with an arm table, pencils, and
a notebook. You can hear
through the perforations in the
door,"
"Yes, sir" Evidently this closet
had been used for this purpose
before. I was tingling with the
suspense and the mysterious at
mosphere. It was like being in
a play.
CHAPTER XIII
So soon as I was settled, the
Inspector returned to his desk.
One or two other men came in,
one officer, the others in plain
clothes. In short time, Mrs.
Sardoni entered. She was dressed
in dark red again with black furs
and smart red hat. She walked
quickly, gracefully, and her voice
was deep.
Good morning, Inspector" she
greeted him.
He rose, waved to the other
men. You know Grant, Smith,
Atwater?"
She nodded to them carelessly.
Won't you sit DOWN."

D. {. FUND BILL
IS SEN 7 TO
CONFERENCE
Rep. Cannon Instead
of Blanton Heads
House Members

Appointment of House confer
ees on the District Appropriations
bill late yesterday prepared the
way for the bitter conference on
the measure which is expected o
get under way early next week.
The wide difference in the
House and Senate provisions Of
the bill will give the confereeS q
broad battle-ground, and it is con-
coded that it will be some weeks
before any agreement can be
reached.
Although Representative Tom
Blanton CD of Texas acted as
chairman of the bill while it was
in the House, Representative Clar-
ence Cannon Cd of Missouri,
the regular chairman of the Dis
trict Appropriations sHbcommit-
tee, was named head of the House
conferees. Other House managers,
beside Cannon and the Texan are
Representatives Jacobsen CD Of
Iowa, johnson CD of West Vir-
ginia, and Otter CR) Of Pennsyl-
vania.
When the House was formally
notified yesterday of the Senate
amendment the Texas member
Immediately moved that the
House disagree to the Senate
amendments and the measure be
sent to conference. He init
mated that the Senate had not
given sufficient study to the bill
by declaring that body passed
the measure in about 10 minutes
while the House gave several
days study to it.
He implied that the House
would use that in con-
ference as an argument as to
why the Senate should yield to
the House provisions.
Senator. Elmer Thomas CD
of Oklahoma, chairman of the
Senate conferees, however, is eX-
pected to substantiate the Sen
ate's action on the grounds that
body only restored the Budget
Bureau recommendations and
that the Senate subcommittee in
charge of the measure gave the
entire measure careful, impartial
scrutiny.
The House slashed the amount
recommended by the Budget for
the Federal contribution from
SIS, ZOO, 900 to $2,70O.000. while the
Senate accepted the Budget fig

NIXON TO FIGHT
COURT RULING
ON DIVORCE
Decision Holding Third
Marriage Illegal, Not
Final, He Says

Capt. Thomas Hay Nixon today
revealed in his Stoneleigh Court
apartment that he will carry to the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, If
necessary, a fight to reverse the
decision of a Gettysburg, Pa,
Judge that he is still married to
his second wife, despite the fact
that he is now living with his third
wife and their twin girls.
The ruling Of Judge w. c.
Sheely, setting aside a divorce OBJ
tanned by the Army ordnance Off
Ger last year from Annette Pauline
Nixon, former stage beauty, is not
final, Captain Nixon claimed, as
he has been given no opportunity
to file an answer to the decision.
Until he receives legal notifica-
ton of the Gettysburg court pro-
ceedings, he declared. he will take
no action, but is prepared to fight
to the finish"
Explains Situation
Shortly before his third wife,
the former Anne Cooke, of Chevy
Chase, was to take her baby
daughters for an airing today,
Captain Nixon revealed he has
been paying his second wife
monthly maintenance. He ex-
planned:
81 agreed to give her $3.50 .
month on condition that she re-
frain from any further publicity
and that she drop police court
charges she threatened to file
against me here"
The Gettysburg divorce, he said,
did not provide for ,alin1ony. It
is this divorce thak Annette
Pauline Nixon has asked be re-
scinded, on the grounds that Cap
tain Nixon was not a resident OF
Pennsylvania at the time Of the
decree.
In answering this charge, the
Army officer today asserted that
the judge who gave him the di-
vorce, Donald Mcpherson, had
known him since boyhood and as
sumed jurisdiction in the case be"
cause Of the fact that an Army
officer must be ION the move"
Capt. Nixon Ill
Recuperating from an operation
performed at walter Reed Hos
pital, Captain Nixon talked with
a reporter from The washington
Times a short time after his
present wife, speaking through
the door of their apartment in the
Stoneleigh Court, said he was "too
ill., to be interviewed.
The third Mrs. Nixon, who mar
ried the Army officer in Maine
last August, is the 25-year-old
sister Of Jane Cooke Scarlet, who
was given a divorce from her
chauffeur-husband. George Scar
lett, in District Supreme Court
two days ago.
Her twin daughters were born
prematurely at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore a few weeks
ago, and were kept at the institu-
ton for some time after the
mother had returned to Wash
ington.
Yesterday, in commenting on
the legal tangle surrounding his
marriage, Captain Nixon said he
would go to Europe and get job
if his second wife continues her
court battles.
The second Mrs. Nixon, who is
at present living at the Hay
Adams House, where she asserted
she is still the wife of the Army
captain, said:
81 have nothing to say ex-
cept that the court records
speak for themselves. You will
find the answers to your queS-
tiOnS in both the Police Court
records and those at District
Supreme Court where my suit
for divorce against Captain
Nixon is still pending"
