office, Sheriff Homer Nane reconstructed the
scene with the icy detachment that comes
from shock The open purse had spilled onto
the floor as Susan stood up. As Vane bent and
began gathering things into the purse, there
was roar and series of explosions outside.
The back court of a garage was beyond the
window and car was undergoing carbon
clean-out operation. With that garage next
door, making such noise commonplace, it
wouldn't have occurred to anybody to inves-
tigate the shot.
Homer Nane put Susan's purse in coat
pocket, the 32 with the Clipped handle in
another He examined the dead man, wiped
faint smudge of lipstck from the palm of the
left hand. He checked the room again, found
wooden button from Susan S dress under the
roll-top desk Shed worn dress with this
type button when she dropped in at the office
early in the afternoon. He checked the room
another time, found nothing He wiped the
doorknob as he went out.

want to bother you
Sure not, agreed Homer Nane dryly.
But Just on the chance, l ran that note
down. The elevator boy had written it. He
knew Tooler Black by sight at the race tracks.
He said Tooler went to see Winston every
Tuesday afternoon. So l had hunch -
Tooler must have been paying Winston hush

been acquitted twice by juries, of murder

the sheriff knew but could not prove.

Vane said, carefully casual.

wilted He admitted he'd been in Winstons
office, but claimed he found Winston dead.
Concocted yarn about there being woman's
purse and gun by the body. OF course, that's s
bunk.
Homer Vane merely nodded ; he didn't trust
himself to speak. He wondered if Susan's
motive would be among the materials de-
lvered to the district attorney after Winstons
death During the next few weeks he lived
with the fear of being called to the district
attorneys office As time passed, that fear

solved to act on none of the evidence except

bound over for trial, delivered to the custody
of the sheriff. Homer Vane talked with the
prisoner for hours. Over and over he heard
Tooler Blacks stubborn claim that Winston
had been dead when Tooler Black entered the
office, that woman's purse and gun had
been beside the body.
Il amt saying was framed, Tooler Black
would say, his bland eyes giving the lie to
the words He was short, swarthy, fat. 'All
I'm saying, Sheriff, is that there was purse

purse had spilled some stuff out of it. Now,

Homer Vane dreaded to 60 home each even

Home and Susan and the baby had been a
haven. The days work marched parade of
violence and fear across the sheriff desk "a
parade of people enmeshed in crime who had

eyes. Outwardly, the sheriff's home was the
same. The lawn and shrubs and flowers He

Il Short Story Complete in This Issue

- N REACHING Winstons office, entering
and seeing Winston sprawled dead on
~ the floor, Homer Nanes excitement
instantly was replaced by utter calm. 1t was
the calmness of shock, but it served He felt
only small burning in his chest; his mind
viously but one thing to do - remove all
evidence pointing to Susan.
Sheriff Homer Vane stood by the door per-
haps full minute, taking in every detail OF
the scene. He was calm enough to realize first
impressions were important.
His wife's purse was on the floor by the
straight backed chair 1t was the black patent
leather purse with the silver monogram.
Susan had been sitting on that chair with the
purse in her lap Winston's S old-fashioned roll
top desk was against the wall, and Winston
had been in the swivel chair, half turned from
the desk to face Susan. Susan had had the
revolver in her purse when she came to see
Winston The weapon, now lying beside the
body, was the snub-nosed 80 Vane kept in
the writing desk at home in the locked
drawer 50 the baby couldn't get at it. He
recognized the chip in the hard-rubber handle.
Winston had sat, then, overfiowlng the
swivel chair, great mass of human blubber,
sweating little, wheeling and sinking lit
tie. And he had talked to Susan about black
mail. OF course, blackmail As sheriff, Homer
Vane knew considerable about Winstons
business. and had hoped to get enough for
case - though the nature of blackmail makes
evidence scarce, the victim avoiding exposure
even more than the blackmaier. Winston
called himself an attorney.
Homer Vane could see it all. Winston
wheeling a bit with each breath, the great
face making thin little leer as he spoke And
Susan stiff on the straight chair erect. defiant,
sodesperate that she d brought the snub-nosed
.32 in her purse.
"All right" Winston must have said. so
you want showdown, do you: Iou think m
bluffing? All right, III call your husband. Per
haps you'd like him to know -
Susan sat erect, stiff, trembling bit, as the
fat man began dialing the phone. She opened
the purse on her lap and put her right hand
inside it.
Homer Vane had been in his office at the
county jail when Winston phoned. Hello, is
this the sheriff." Winston said. This Sheriff
Vane?. What's that? :. Louder, please -
taking the headpiece from his ear so Susan
could hear the voice Sheriff, L d like you
to drop around to my office, right away. It's
important It's about matter -
"No!' Susan's voice broke in.
Hearing that, recognizing her voice over
the wire from the single word, had shocked
Homer Vane What was she doing in that
blackmailer's Office?
Put that down." her voice said after lit
tie pause 1t came low and faint and flat over
the wire Put down that phone.
The phone clicked dead, and while Homer
Vanc drove from the county jail to the Norwall
building - fifteen minutes twenty at the
most, figuring the traffic on Cover Street. -
the rest of it had happened.

vidual in the Capital. His record as
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
was spectacular in its integrity and
efficiency. He handled hundreds of
millions Of dollars In contracts with
out even q breath Of suspicion at
taching to q single transaction.
His subsequent service in the Re-
construction Finance Corp. has been
marked by constantly broadening
influence and responsibility which
has been the more significant
because his politics differed from
the administrations. But he will
be best remembered and longest
mourned because of those precious
human qualities which we knew so
well in our old home town of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and which ever
stayed with him throughout his
Washington career. His kindly gen.
erosity and his unfailing friendliness
