think that, too" said Hans, but
this is a cellar. Walls are concrete.
Back Of them Is dirt" He looked
even more bewilderec than before.
THE shot did come from the d.
rection Of the WALL" the coroner
said. From the position of the
wound I would say that the killer
was standing directly behind Ives
and that he was a man slightly
above average height Was anyone
in the room with him?"
Laurence spoke up. "Only Mr..
King, who went in and-found
Ives dead"
"Oh." The coroner looked at the
banker with new interest 80 that
was the way Of it," He held out
his hand, palm upward. On 1t lay
a piece Of misshapen lead. This
bullet fell out Of a book that ap-
parently was propped up in front
Of Ives as he sat at the desk. II
seems to be 80 caliber. Do you own
a 80 caliber revolver, Mr.. King 2"
Kings face lost the rest Of Its
blood. "Of course not" he said
weakly. What would I want with
gum"
HE never had a gun In his nfe!"
Marcia protested.
Sorry" persisted the coroner.
but the evidence Is rather strong.
I'm afraid a search is in order. Mr..
King, you're not wearing your
coat Where Is it,"
The banker was speechless. He
nodded toward the coat hanging
on a nail on one Of the pillars. The
sergeant brought 1t forward for In
spection. Something heavy In one
Of the side pockets" he said.
The coroner, covering his hand
with a handkerchief, lifted the OBJ
ject out 1t was a 81 caliber re-
volver.
MY God!" cried King. Some
one is trying to frame mel"
He collapsed, and would have
fallen to the floor If the sergeant
and coroner hadn't grabbed him.
The other police officer came In to
help subdue him, but he didn't need
subduing.
Henry was dazed. He had a feel
ing that the banker was sincere in
his protest. The handle Of the re-
volver looked very much like the
one Henry had seen Ives trying to
keep hidden In his overcoat

the enormity Of the crime that has
been committed. They are seven to
one against the murderer, and have
the protection OF the police, so they
have nothing to fear from the
killer. He has not only broken up
their club here-he is threading the

CHAPTER FIVE

HENRY POTTER took dislike
to the corner Immediately, which
was hard to explain. because there
was nothing extraordinarily re-
pugnant about the man. He gave
the impression that death, al
though it was his business, was as
disagreeable to him as it would be
to any Of Henry's checkers part
ners at the Leisure Hour club.
IT realize" the coroner said, TAX
ing off his coat and opening the
black bag he had brought with him,
"that seven of you are perfectly in
nocent. I know 1t is going to in
convenience some Of you to stay
here as long as 1t may take to find
the guilty manor woman-but I
know, too, that you who are inno-
cent and want to see justice done
will stay Of your own free will and
help me-"
. Henry thought 1t was Just q po-
lite way to avoid telling the club
members they would have to stay
or be under arrest as soon ~ the
police came.
The coroner took a notebook and
ia tape measure and camera and
went back into the dispatchers
room. Flashes of light from under
the table across the doorway re-
vealed that he was taking photo
graphs.
The eight persons in the room
were silent. Henry trembled with
fear that everyone was cycling him
with suspicion. Perhaps 1t was just
that everyone eyed everyone else.
Stanley King seemed to be the
most jittery. The big banker, who
had been so assertive and self-con-
fident, had not recovered his usual
ruddiness of cheek. His eyes
searched the faces Of his seven
companions as though he would
like to read their souls.
Professor Bisbee was popping
peanuts into his mouth one after
the other, with the Unsuitable ap-
petite Of chipmunk, while his fat
little jaw went up and down. He
was frowning, evidently trying
without successful At the events
Of the night into a pattern Of san
ity.
Hans looked bewildered. He sat
on one Of the stools and stared al
ternately at his companions and at
the lower half Of the door to the
other room, jumping whenever a
dash bulb went of.
Spinelli was smoking cigaret
after cigaret, twisting the butts on
the table against which he leaned
without regard to the plaster Of
paris earth he was running.
Marcia had drawn away by her
self. Her eyes were frightened, her
Ups partly open. She leaned against
one Of the pillars, clutching 1t with
one hand as though its strength
romforted her. Occasionally she
threw an appealing glance toward
the banker, but he offered her no
Encouragement.
Laurence Hardness and Susan
we're together at the far side Of the
room. She was sobbing on his
shoulder again. Henry could ina
CINE her assuring Laurence of her
undying faith In him. Laurence
was decently looking a trifie en-
barassed as well as nervous. Henry
wondered II Mrs. Hardness ever
came to these meetings.
The outside door banged open.
In the doorway stood beefy man
IN brown suit, glazing at the sur
prised club members. They had ex-
,eeted the police to drive up with
hrens screaming.

SELF-HELP PLAN
 TO BE ADOPTED.
Private Schools Meeting With Success in Develop
 ing Young Students

The aim of education in second- ary schools being to educate the child in every way, private schools, because of their smaller classes, are more adequately prepared for this task than are most public schooln, according Co Charles V. Wynne of Danbury and head of the English department at the Wooster school, who spoke yesterday noon before the Waterbury Lions club.
 He stressed the value of andivid- ual instruction, and of the oppor. tunities for educating the whole boy which the private school offers, and discussed the efforts which educators are making to instill Into the youth Of today Ideals and prin- clples which will enable them Co improve the world of tomorrow.
 The self-help plan, as practiced in many private secondary schools today, Mir. Wynne said, teaches boys self reliance and initiative: he pre-. dlcted that on this system the edu- cation of the future will be built.
 It was announced that the next noon meeting will be on Wednes- day of next week, and that bowl ing match against the Me1iden Lions will be played Nov. T.
