case. understand from MT. Hen I dry'S lawyer that he recently re- vised his will to include Miss Bar rett. Did you know of that?"
 "Yes. MT. Hendry discussed 1: with me, about week ago"
 And Miss Barrett knew it?"
 Definitely not" Bob said firm. ly. MT. Hendry took pains tc have the new will drawn up al his attorneys office, so that Mis-. Barrett would not know of it. Ht , told me that he preferred it tc come as a surprise to her even tually."
 T see" Kennedy tapped on the arm of his chair thoughtfully. "She ! did know, however, about the S4O,- 900 MT. Hendry had in his pos session last night?"
 Yes. We both knew about that"
 Was there anyone else whc might have learned about it?'
 We discussed it with Miss Hen- dry at dinner last night. Then, of course, there was the messenger who brought the money"
 Nobody else?" Bob thought a moment. There was MT. Norton" he said finally "a friend of MT. Hendry's, who is here to negotiate the sale for which the money was needed. MT. Hen dry might have told him."
 You're not Sure?"
 Bob recalled the few minutes he and Joan had spent with MT. Hen- dry and Norton at the Inn the night before. I'm quite sure that Norton did know about it, now that I think back" he said.
 "Why?'
 Bob explained their meetings with the two men in the Inn grill. As we came. up to the table" he explained, T distinctly heard MT. Norton jok- ing to MT. Hendry about his fears. He commented upon the fact that they had, in the past, carried their entire fortune in their pockets"
 But you did not hear MT. Hen dry definitely tell him that he had this amount of money?"
 No"
 Morton was in a position to realize the fact, I suppose, if he were negotiating the sale?"
 Yes. The sale was scheduled for this afternoon, so Norton knew MT. Hendry would have the cash either yesterday or today"
 And Norton was out here last night?"
 Yes. He and MT. Hendry had dinner together, at the Inn. But MT. Norton returned to town with me-
 At what time was that?"
 We took the 11:10 out of Green Hills"
 Kennedy made a note of that in little book he took from his pocket.
 The 11:10, eh? You went on to Washington, did you not?"
 Yes. I caught the midnight train out of Pennsylvania station
 Kennedy nodded reflectively.
 Miss Barrett, I understand. and her friend - Miss Starke - were at the station when you left?" he asked
 And MT, Hendry remained at the Imp"
 Yes. We left him there"
 "H-m-m -m-m." Kennedy was thoughtful for a moment.
 
 Do you know" he asked pres ently, why Miss Barrett came over here to see MT. Hendry at mid- night?"
 No, I don't. She said nothing to me about her intention to do so. It may be that she was alarmed over his being alone in the house, as Miss Hendry says she was. She was greatly con- cerned over his having so much money on his person."
 Perhaps that is it. Perhaps that is why she did not tell Miss Starke the reason for her visit, either. Miss Starke told us that she decided quite suddenly to see Ml' I1eIuly dDOuC prlVaCe mat ter. She left the house just before the Inn clock chimed the hour There was a knock on the door. Come in!" Kennedy called.
 An officer, in uniform, entered and handed a large envelope to Kennedy. The pictures" he an- nounced, the ones you wired San Francisco for"
 Thanks, O'Brien."
 O'Brien left the room silently.
 Kennedy opened the envelope and looked at each picture closely. Finally he passed one over to Bob.
 Heres picture of the Bar rett girl whose father was con- victed of murder in San Francisco. This picture, mind you, was taken 10 years ago. Would you say MT.
