NOW COON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
DETECTIVE OFFICER KETTER-
ING'S FOURTH REPORT,
CONTINUED
This morning, Immediately | re-
ceived the outside information up
on various members of the party l
proceeded to a new analysis OF
the situation and composed
fresh draft of possible motives
POSSIBLE MOTIVES. 9-l-3I
MRS. JOCELYN: Nil, as far as
is known at the moment.
= COUNT P0S0DINI: Nil, as FAR
as is known at the moment, but
the count is now identified as the
cx-convict "Slick" Daniels, so l
hope to be able to make him talk,
as there must be some special rea-
son for Reginald Jocelyn having
asked him on board, when he was
quite unknown to any other men,
Der Of the party.
4 MR.. R0CKSAVAGE: Strong
motive to do away with Blame, as
pointed out in previous analysis.
This becoming even stronger on
confirmation of the precarious sit
uation of his companies. ~
THE, BISHOP OF BUDE: Nil,
rs far as is known at the moment,
but his possession Of a letter from
Blanc mailed from New York on
the fifth .hows his acquaintance
with the murdered man to be far
stronger than he would have US
believe in his first statement. This
letter lays such stress, upon the
friendship existing between the
two that 1t reads to me much more
ike a threat by Blame that. what
ever might occur on the yacht, the
Bishop had better keep his mouth
shut. This is supported by the
suggestion in the cable from Scot
land Yard that there was some un-
pleasant scandal in which the
Bishop vas involved in 1917.
LADY Weller: Motive in her
case, which was weak in our first
analysis, is considerably strength.
ened by the cable from Scotland
Yard, in which it appears that she
has been expanding q portion OF
her fortune for numerous years IN
supporting q non commercial
group group Of papers. Further,
that she lost considerable por-
ton of her capital in the Hantry
crash, and is now principally de-
pendent upon her holdings in the
Rocksavage companies.
Mr.. HAYASHI: Nil, as far as is
known at the moment, but the fact
that he wrote to Blame, asking for
an appointment, brings him much
more strongly under suspicion. II
il can prove that he visited Blane's
cabin between 7:45 and 8:l5,
when he appeared in the lounge,
II will look very much as though
he is our man.
MIR. J0CELYN: As dependent
of Lady Welter his motive is con-
siderably strengthened by the
facts about her financial situation
which have now emerged. From
the report of his activities previ-
Gus to his marriage with Lady
Welter's daughter it is obvious
that he is something of an adj
venturer and, since he was fire.
