I stared at him. Grace Seymore
had been found dead in her apart
ment three days ago. Carey JeSson
a lawyer, who had been seen leaving
the building late the night before,
had been questioned. 1t looked bad
for the young man. He wouldn't
talk much. He claimed he was try
ing to get start IN his business
and the publicity would ruin him.
Grace Seymore had been his secre-
tary. He said they were to be mar
ried as soon as he was es-
tabliShed
The note which Jim had given me
to read was addressed to young Jes-
son. The police had been intercept
ing his mail.
Wait minute" I said. It's a
blank to me. How do you know the
author Of this note is the murderer,
and how do you know who wrote
it?"
Jim shrugged Il don't know who
wrote it, but l do know that the
author murdered Grace Seymore
Maybe it'll be a Job finding out who
wrote it. and maybe it won't" He
got his hat. Come on" he said.

looked haggard and frightened.
When Jim mentioned Hllda Burt
his expression told us nothing.

said Il fired her"

He shrugged. She had ideas. She

In this composition. the harmonic

brought out with balanced emphasis,

the threatening cries of screaming
women still ringing in his ears, Major
Greene, 33-year-old colored man, was
behind bars today awaiting trial Feb
ruary / for the bath tub Staying OF
Mrs. Mary Robinson Case.
The wiry porter, who, authorities
said, had signed a complete confess
sion, was sullen and seemingly un-
moved last night as detectives led him
from Queens County Court, where he
pleaded innocent before Judge John
S. Golden.
Outside noisy crowd Of spectators,
most of them women, surged toward
the prisoner when he appeared under
heavy police guard.
Lynch him!" the crowd cried.
"He's no good! He ought to be hung!
the chairs too good for you'll"
Greene threw up his unmanacled
hand to shield himself.
They attempted to punmel him with
umbrellas, sticks and pocketbooks, but
most of the blows fell on the shoulders
of detectives, who swarmed around to
elbow him unharmed to the Queens
County Jail, 200 yards away.
The arraignment was completed
only 72 hours after Mrs. Cases stran-
gled and beaten body was found by
her husband, Frank Case. 80. in an
overflowing bath tub in their jackson
Heights, Queens, apartment.
Greene confessed, District Attorney
