CHAPTER NINE

"A MAN wouldn't stop III the
middle of a letter like that" John
Jones asserted. He drew another
long cigar from an infer pocket
and excitedly bit off the end.
ut sounds strange to me-" said
Henry. "He wrote, Evil will not
listen to me- What did he mean"
Just a manner of expression"
declared the big man impatiently.
His blue eyes had lighted up. THE
important thing is to find the sec-
ond sheet of paper"
I'm afraid we will" Mrs.
Willett, the housckeeper, informed
them. THE only thing I found
just a minute before you knocked
on the door-Was a charred piece
Of paper in the fireplace. I left it
there. I thought maybe the detec-
tives would have some way of
reading it."
Henry and persistent Mr.. Jones
followed Mrs. Willett into the cold
living Don The big man got down
on his knees and studied the piece
of paper to which Mrs. Willett re-
ferred. 1t was black almost ready
to crumble into ash.
Mr.. Jones grunted his disap-
pointment. Looks like the same
size sheet of paper all right, but
nobody will ever read it" He dust
ed off his knees as he rose to his
feet. In n hand he had miracu-
lousy picked ul the only intact
part of the paper. He carr, i it. to
Il window. yep. There's part Of
the Spiritualist church letto"head
still to be seen-but that's all. This
is the second half of the letter the
murdered nan wrote. Someone de-
~lberately destroyed it"
Henry was beWildered. But why
would anyone destroy the second
half and not the tirst?'
Maybe the two pages weren't
together"
You'd better put that paper
back i'll the freplace," snapped
Mrs. Willett. IL didn't say you
could touch it. That's for the detec-
tiVes."
Pardon me, ma'am," apologized
John Jones. There was no express
sion on his face. He carefully re-
turned the flimsy bit of evidence.
Henry was studying him with
narrowed eyes. If John Jones was
a detective, why didn't he say so I?
Mrs. Willett led them back to
the kitchen. Il can't think of any,
n who would want to kill poor
Mr.. Ives she said, her temporary
displcasure with Mr.. Jones forgot
ten III her greater sorrow. He did
so much for everyone. He gave
away almost everything he had.
See, there is hardly anything left"
Henry had to admll mat the
house was dismal. IL The silence,
Whlle-no n spoke, he heard rain
gripping into a pan in the attic. A
loose shutter ratified il the wind.
Old George, staring blankly at
him from across the table, gave
him a creepy chill.
They all sat down. Gives must
have had an enemy" Henry insist
ed. HE couldn't have been killed
without reason
Mrs. Willctt shook her head.
"Ive puzzled it over and over.

In addition to the small number OF
inmates, another unusual feature II

accounts for by far the greater pro-

sentenced to die for rape, arson on

1T is gratifying to note that the
number of men on Death Row mn-

one has been granted a new trial in
Robson superior court.

PORTLAND, Oct. 6 - oregon State handed the Pacific Coast Football Conference terrific jolt Saturday. defeating the highly touted University of Washington Huskies, 9-6, on an 81-yard run by Don Durdan, right half. in the sec ond quarter.
 The game was played on a wet field but the sprightly attack of the Beavers seemed little affected. Simas placekicked the extra point after Durdan's long, twisting run.
 ,Washington's only touchdown came after a drive beginning when Ernie Steele returned an O. 8. O. punt 49 yards and Earl Younglove, potential H Huskie All American, picked up IA yards on an end- around play. Then Bob Erickson, the flashy left halfback, plunged oyer from the one foot marker, cracking straight through the Bea- yer line
 The Beavers picked up-their other points on safety
