The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-20

And now Harry Hutchins wa safely behind bars.
 He didn't stand a chance. Int cards were stacked against him The evidence Amy had left behind her was complete: There was thu perfect sequence of his activities from the moment he stepped from the Utah plane three days follow ing the theft of the bonds the record of the hotel he had gone tc immediately, the affldavit of the landlady in whose house he hac lived next the various transac- tions in disposing of the bonds, ont at time.
 Everything was there, except the final proof that he and the man Worth were one and the same. Once he was taken into custody, that was easily estab- lished. A dozen people from tho bank identified the photographs which the police rushed to Blue fields.
 For the thousandth time, CillJ asked herself why the truth hac not dawned on her before. What other reasons would girl like Amy Kerr have for pursuing 6 friendship with the man, if Il weren't because in that way sht could keep a close check on himf She had acted her part so thor oughly.
 In fact, her entire investigation was a marvel of intelligence work Sergeant Dolan himself remarked that. No special investigator, nc group of Investigators, could have done more. The discovery, fol example, that Hutchins was about to leave Chicago, when Amy ar. ranged to be on the same trair with him and strike up an ac. quaintance. Well as Dolan said 1t took nerve and brains. To think such 6 girl was done in ."
 That was the tragedy of 1t. Amy had done 1t all, single handed, ane given her life for 1t. If only shC had conflded in someone, in Cilly at least.
 Unfortunately, however, sht could not know when 1t was that Hutchins finally became suspicious of her. Probably not until @ few months previous when, under tho name and appearance of the elderly Mrs. Elliot, he had taken the vacant furnished apartment above to watch her.
 Cilly took the biscuits, brownet to a golden crispness, out of tho oven. If Jim and the sergeant woulc only be on time yes, here they were now, together. She saw then through the kitchen window. A mo. ment later, their combined bulk filled the tiny kitchen.
 Everything is ready" she an. nounced. Another Ave minutes sergeant, and your biscuits woule be stone cold Come, sit dowr right away"
 It was very special feast - ( combined wedding supper, thanks giving and bon voyage send-off Sergeant Dolan contributed tn, flowers, a glorious corsage O orchids. And after dinner tn three talked long, finally return ing to the strange case.
 Say, how did you actually dis cover Hutchins was the. man? Dolan asked Cilly. " .'
 T don't really know. Of course somewhere in the back of my mind was always the wonder wh! Amy ever kept up a friendship with him. I guess l must havI been thinking that when all of { sudden, like @ series of fash back in the movies, 8 dozen other idea! popped into my head. Suppose il had been Hutchins hiding out ir 2-A. Then everything else fitted together into @ perfect picture. had a curious feeling about him ever since he was here Thursday evening the wonder IS thal the truth didn't dawn on mo then He was here with me in the livin( room, and the outer doorbell rang He mentioned something about taxi for him, and walked righ over to the buzzer. I was sur prised that he knew where to fint 1t so quickly. It was that famil iarity with this apartment tha should have told me the story in stantly. You'd have understood 1t, sergeant" '
 Dolan shrugged. Maybe would and maybe I wouldn't. w can't account for the ideas tha pop into our head nor for thos that pass us by"
 You remember the evening found the Blueflelds newspapers?
