DIAMOND GLEANINGS
By RABID FANSTER

A"AS I1E DECIDING
GAME of the East New Jersey
baseball championship series. The
eighth inning had rolled around
with the Farmers leading the
Field Club, 81.
Warily the Fielders trotted
back to the dugout to await their
turn at bat Their cause looked
hopeless. three runs needed and
just two innings TO go. Oh, well,
nobody could say they hadn't Civ
en- their all
But, waitl A Clubber reached
first safely. and then another
Two men on. the big moment
had arrived A home run now
and victory would be within their
grasp. A home run, ah.. might
as well ask for the moon.
Up to the plate stepped. the
subject OF this column. Tensely
ne braced himself, fully realizing
what this moment meant to his
team. The mOundSman began his
wlndup. then came the pitch.
With d prayer In his heart, our
hero swung his bat with all the
strength he could muster. E.
wham!. "a hit! Yes, you guess
ed it-a home run. The ball went
sailing right out of the park and
the runners floated around the
bases. Hurrah and couple of
cheers!. the Clubbers shot
ahead, 1919.
All necessary was to hold the
Farmers in check and that they
cid. And so-the Field Club
nine of Point Pleasant won the
championship of East New Jer-
sey.
The hero of that game-the
hOme-run clouter-is none other
than Norman Artman, a product
of Key West Sandlots. Managing
his fathers newspaper in Point
Pleasant for the past two years.
Norman has been active in the
baseball and Softball sports of.
that summer resort
During the short trips to his
home town, he never fails to
keep in practice. This year
will be no exception. Sunday he
will appear in the Pirate lineup
when that club meets the Key
West ConchS at East Martello
Tower field on the boulevard.
Young Artman began his base
ball and softball careers in Key
West years ago. During the height
of the Softball craze, he was a
member of the champion Citizen
ten. starring at shortstop. He
has appeared on many hard ball
clubs here. Ready and willing
to play any position. he prefers
the infield, especially third base.
I'll do the best I can for the
Pirates Sunday, Norman said
when informed manager Paul AL
bury would use him in his line
up. Il haven't been active since
that championship game in Point
Pleasant and I've added some
weight. but I'll be all right after
couple of brisk workouts.
BY THE WAY. manager Al
bury of the BUGS says fans should
not attach too much significance
TO the past two games his club
has dropped to the Conchs. ANY
one attending the contests could
very easily understand why. the
veteran pilot asserts. Il have had
to use any material available. My

light they could have seemed TO
do almost anything, we told Alice.
But they couldn't have come
all the way to the upstairs hall,
she argued. insisting that what
ever it was had brushed past her
before she had seen it going down
the steps.
Probably just your own robe
swishing about" Bob told her.
'If you really had seen anything,
wouldn't / have met it in the
downstairs hall? l was up and
out Of the library a moment after
you started screaming"
"Of course, Alice" Bill reas-
sued her. Bob would have run
smack into it"
"You are sure you didn't see
anything?" Alice pleaded. her
eyes clinging to her brothers
with an almost physical hold.
Positive.
But Alice still did not appear
quite convinced, for she said,
with what seemed to me rather
pointed logic. After all, there is
always that little margin of time
that cannot quite be accounted
for. With people moving about at
random all over the house this
evening, there was still time for
Aunt Maggie to be murdered In
the back passage"
Claire promised to spend the
rest of the night with Alice and
the men made another tour of
the house. but failed to find any
thing amiss. When they came
back to Alice's room. where Eve
and / waited, Kirk looked at his
wrist watch and called attention
to the fact that it was a quarter
after two o'clock and time for
his shift as Waterman.
"Oh, darling, why do you al
ways have TO think OF things?"
Bill had complained when | asked
him TO investigate Aunt Maggie's
windows. And now that we were
back in bed again after Alice's
little sight = seeing tour. l had
thought Of something else.
Indeed. | wondered why | had
not thought of it before. Bill. poor
darling, had promptly dropped
of TO sleep for the second. or was
it the third. time that evening?
Proof of steady nerves and

II sleep to come to me, the dis
connected thoughts which had
raced back and forth across my
mind earlier in the evening be-
gan to Straighten themselves out
into what might cOnceivably be
called a pattern.
Then droWSineSS began to creep
over me and in that last moment
between sleeping and waking,
when consciousness hangs poised
above the dark abyss of forget
fulness, a thought popped into my
head and brought me wide awake
again.
Aunt Maggie had announced at
dinner that she believed she had
found the clue to the long-for-
gotten secret room. Soon after
ward she had been killed. Was it
possible there was a connection
between these two occurrences?
Could she have been killed
while looking for the secret
room? Or had there been a strug-
gle with someone who tried to
get possession of the clue?
| tried 20 convince myself that
my wits were only wool-gather-
ing but. try as l might, l could
not help thinking l had hit upon
a possible motive. If it was the
clue the killer wanted, had he
succeeded in wrestling it from
her? Or had my arrival inter-
fered with his purpose?

office? | had come through the

exits were still open to him.
And suddenly / knew. Plutarch
had told me. Plutarch who had
fawned against me when | came
back from my hurried trip to the
kitchen for water. When | first
came out into the passage the
murderer was concealed in the
Office. and during my brief alb
Sence he had escaped. That was
how Plutarch happened also to
be on the loose.
There is a second door from
the Office. which opens into the
breakfast room. formerly the
back hall. This way the murderer
could have passed on into the
front hall and out the front door
or up the stairway. But probably
that would have been too risky.
To have taken the back stairs,
either Up to the second floor or
down to the basement. or to have
gone out the back door would
have been much easier and much
safer.
If my arrival had prevented
the killer from stealing the clue.
and the clue was of such impor-
lance. there was no time to lose.
It must be Salvaged for safekeep-
ing.
Why the clue should be Of i'm
pOrtance TO anyone. why Aunt
Maggie should be murdered be-
cause of it. |, of course. could not

that | could not go to sleep until
| had set my mind at rest by
making an investigation.
Perhaps already / might be too
late. Hours had passed. during
which everyone had had the run
OF the house. All unbidden, the
thought came that perhaps the
nocturnal wanderings Of Eve and
Alice might have other than OBJ
vlouS explanations. But put
such thoughts forcibly from my
mind. Il isn't much fun to start

Huffman, Sheriff NJ. P. Robertson

Kelly and the Hanfords were con.
victed largely on testimony by
Smith, who turned states evidence
and was allowed to plead guilty to
second degree murder. Smith now
is serving a 25-to-30 year prison
term.
The petition signed by members
of the jury, Governor Hoey said,
maintained that it was unfair for
Smith to be allowed to live, if the
others were to be put to death.
The petition said in part:
"While under the evidence as
presented to us We feel that our
verdict was inevitable, especially so
since the quality of mercy and its
exercise was not within u prov.
ince, yet inasmuch as the state
through its solicitor and judge exer-
cised mercy on behalf of George
Smith by permitting him whom we
consider equally guilty with the
others, to plead guilty to second
degree murder, we now feel that
the same mercy should be extended
to the other boys"
Governor Hoey said it was prob
able that the sheriff and police Of
ficer both were killed by Huffman.
The state never was able to estab-
lish that m of the other four
bandits fired a shot, he added.
The governor said Kelly and the
Hanford brothers have had very
poor opportunities"
MANY facts were developed in
this investigation which tend to ex-
plain, if not excuse, their. lives of
crime" his statement continued.
II am satisfied that it was not the
purpose Of these defendants to COM
nit murder"

ACTION ON FARM

Farm state senators won from ad-
ministration leaders an. agreement
that the senate would consider the
bill next week. Chairman Harrison

said he had agreed to lay aside, after
a brief explanation Monday, the

been scheduled to be the senate's
principal business next week.

this procedure because sponsors Of
the farm bill felt that it might take

the legislation, once it is approved
by the senate.
