electric light wire overhead had
been torn down. Marks on the walk
indicated that the jeweler had been
killed in the rose a r b and
dragged beside the lily pond,
where he was found lying face up
wards.
.'All members of the party had
been in the parlor at the time of
the killing, except Strickland and
possibly Montcalm, witnesses say.
During the investigation Strickland
climbed down by way of the light
well to retrieve his knife, which he
had dropped in the garden, and
which he thought would be evil
dence against him. He was at
tackled by someone hiding in the
bushes and was taken away in a
boat and made prisoner in a ware
house, from which he escaped, he
has told the newspapers.
Captain Mcdonald has testified
all windows but one were locked,
and there yer no footprints under
that window and nc footprints, ex-
cepl Strickland's, between the riv-
er and the scene of the crime.
That is all, unless you have
questions"
There were no questions. The
jury retired into the next room.
Coroner Silver surprised me by
stepping down and advancing to-
ward me with hand outstretched.
Il fear I must apologize, Strick-
land" he said. I'D been banking
on that light well. Captain Melon
aid has removed the last doubt of
your innocence"
My mouth a open, I believe,
as / shook his hand.
The jury returned and handed
Coroner Silver a written verdict.
He read it and announced to the
a~ssemblage: 1T is the decision OF
the jury that Alfred Markham
came to his death by being stab
bed through the heart with a sharp
instrument by a person or persons
unknown. Murder. The case now
is out of my hands. l hope the po-
lice can find the missing clues"

dow was all freshly spaded the att
ernoon before, and there was not a
mark on it. No one could have got
ten out of that window without
leaving tracks there"
"One of the previous witnesses
has testified about the light well.
Did you investigate that?"
Yes. We decided that was the
way Strickland climbed down into
the garden to look for the knife he
had dropped. But we also learned
that during the time when Mark
ham must have been killed, Tony
Pappini, the cook, and Agatha, one
of the maids, were sitting in the
Kitchen"
1t was the coroner's turn to be
taken aback. Captain Mcdonald
was throwing a monkey wrench
into the coroner's theory, and my
heart leaped with new hope.
You mean" said Silver, that
in your opinion it was impossible
for Strickland to have killed Mark
ham,"
"Obviously."
The coroner dismissed him and
looked around the room. Are
there any other persons who wish
to testify"
There were no others. He gave
the case to his jury.

New 0ff-Shore
Bases Proposed

WASHINGTON-Congress was
urged today to provide for new
off-shore bases in the Pacific
ocean for increased protection of
the Panama canal.
The proposal was made by Rep.
Warren Magnuson, D., Wash,
member of the house naval affairs
subcommittee that returned this
week from a flying inspection Of
canal defenses.
Magnuson recommended imme-
date negotiations with Ecuador
and Costa Rica for the leasing, as
naval patrol and supply bases, the
Galapagos islands, belonging to
Ecuador. and the Cocos islands,
belonging to Costa Rica.
He also recommended that the
house reconsider its refusal to
appropriate money for third set
of locks for the canal. The APP
preparations bill, from which the
SIS, 000, 900 was cut, is pending
before the senate appropriations
committee.
Magnuson said that the
basis of defense for the canal
was to keep enemies far
enough away to prevent them
from giving the canal
knockout blow"
IF they (any enemy ever get
an aircraft carrier within 500 miles
of the canal, it's all over. A single
well-directed bomb can put it out
of business"
