nix minutes after midnight man wearing
gloves lowered over the terror infused
~ figure of Cromwell Bannockburn, who
was sitting in stuffed armchair in his living
room. The man would not permit the feeble
Bannockburn to get up. Instead, he forced a
revolver into the old mans right hand and
twisted his arm so that the muzzle pointed at
his temple. That was the reason for the gloves
Bannockburn's fingerprints would be the
enly ones on the gun.
With one hand the man swiftly pulled the
bead chain of the floor lamp. In the light
of the moon pouring through nearby win
dow Bannockburn squirned with the little
strength he had, but strong arms held him. He
pleaded with the murderer as the gun neared
his temple but the man was grim. He pressed
Bannockburn's fingers and with them the
trigger - and fled from the house.
The next morning Blaine and his wife, but

But this morning Blaine did not have to
arouse his master. Bannockburn, in a silk

dead On the floor directly under his limp
arm lay revolver and book A sealed letter
was on the side table next to the chair. The
butler ran to the telephone. Carver shifted
from one foot to the other, stupefied.
When the county detectives, headed by
Inspector Douglas, arrived, they wrapped the
gun in a handkerchief and sent it off for
fingerprint examination. The coroner, who
had come with them, examined the body.
Douglas picked up the book and noted its
title, The Cause and Psychology of Suicide -
It was a new book, with many uncut pages.
The detectives eyes narrowed.
He slit the letter with his finger as he
questioned Blaine and his wife and Carver.
The letter was in Bannockburn' S handwriting,

three miles down the road. The detective re-
turned with Latham in twenty minutes. The

The telephone rang. 1t was New York

brought on for questioning. The young man
did not seem to know what it was all about.
A group of legal and insurance representa-
tives arrived. The lawyers were those retained
by the murdered man as executors of his will.
They revealed to Douglas that his will pro-
vided for James Bannockburn, for Blaine and
his wife and long list of charitable institu-
tions.
What are the fgures?" asked Douglas.
Roughly, almost million for young
Bannockburn, a million and half for charity
and twenty-five thousand for the two ser
wants, said one of the lawyers. The detectives
looked at each other. One whistled.
Was the will changed lately?"
About two years ago change was made
- Mr.. Bannockburn at that time decided to
give more to charities and less to his son. He
was to make another change this week and
leave little or nothing to him.

PITTSBURGH AND WASHINGTON IN MAJOR TOP SPOT
RizzO of Pirates Looms as DiMaggio' of National
 League; VOsnik Hero
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

tUnlLeu FEcSS OGaH NOIICSpV1UcuC
 New York, April 15-(UP)-Pace- setters in the major league pennant races today were those unpredict- able Pittsburgh Pirates and the amazing Washington Senators, each with an unbroken string of three triumphs.
 The Pirates are on top in the National league because of savage attack which raked 10 St. Louis Cardinal pitchers for 19 runs and A hits in three-game series. The big guns were Johnny Rizzo, the Houston, Texas, Italian sold to the Pirates by the Cards during the winter, and Arky Vaughn. Rizzo hit safely twice in each of three games. Vaughan has collected six hits in three games.
 Washington grabbed the Ameri- can league lead on pitching. In their three victories over the Ath- leitcs, they used only three pitchers, only club in either league to have three starting pitchers go the route. Wes Terrell, Monte Weaver and Emil Dutch) Leonard, did the trick for the Senators.
 The world champion New York Yankees dropped to seventh place when they lost to the Boston Red Sox yesterday, 32. Three rockies, Donald, Stine and Beggs, held the Bosox to three hits, but issued 10 walks which proved the Tanks un- doing. A walk to Cramer and Vos- mik's triple accounted for the win- ming run. The Tanks made B hits off Johnny Marcum and had l2 men left on base.
 Detroit scored it's first victory, downing the Chicago White Sox, 9-3. Hank Greenberg hit his sec- ond homer of the season, and three White Sox errors helped too. Elden Auker held the Sox to seven hits.
 In the only other American league game Cleveland noSed out the St. Louis Browns, 4-S. Earl Whitehill, starting his 18th season, held the Browns to four hits in eight frames, before he was taken out for a pinch hitter during the eighth inning rally which won the game and gave him credit for the victory. Lyn Lary's two doubles drove in two Tribe tallies
 Pittsburgh scored two runs in the ninth on Lloyd Waner's double, a walk to Paul Waner and Rizzos single, which Bordagaray fumbled to notch 6-5 victory over the Car- dinals.
 Paul Derringer won his 18th straight game over the Chicago Cubs during a four-year period when he pitched Cincinnati to a 6-2 win. The Cubs made only four hits, one a homer by Ken O'Dea with Lazzeri on base. Singles by Mccormick and Lombardi drove in the winning runs.
 Milburn Shoffner walked Hank Leiber with the bases loaded, forc- ing ill the run by which the New York Giants trimmed the Boston Bees, 3-2. Carl HubbelI held the Bees to eight hits, one a homer by Tony Cuccinello.
 Forrest Pressnell, Milwaukee rookie, made his major league debut by pitching Brooklyn to 90 shutout victory over the Phillies.
