AIR RAID DRILL

AIR RAID DRILL
America is at war and with
each city high school student
knowing this as near perfect an
air raid drill as could be found
in any high school in the United
States was carried out. With
nearly 100 trained air raid war
dens stationed at exits, between
corridors. auditorium, gym and
halls to help keep panic down,
direct students to places of safe
ty, and to extinguish any bombs
dropped by the enemy, the alarm
was completed and termed q
huge success. This surprise
alarm on the students was &C
cepted with great seriousness,
because each student knew that
some day the alarm may mean
German or japanese planes over
head.

CHAPTER TWENTY SIN

"Gentlemen of the jury, the respon-
sibilitv now rests with you It is for
YOU to say if Elinor Carlisle is to go
forth free from the court. LII, after
the evidence you have heard, you are
satisfied that Elinor Carlisle poisoned
Mary Gerard, then it is your duty
to pronounce her guilty.
But if it should seem to you that
there is equally strong evidence, and
perhaps far stronger evidence against
another person, then it is your duty
to free the accused without more ado
"You will have realized by now that
the facts of the case are very differ
ent from what they originally appear
ed to be.
Yesterday, after the dramatic evil
dence given by M. Hercule Poirot,
I called other witnesses to prove be-
vond any reasonable doubt that the
girl Mary Gerard was the illegiti-
mate daughter of Laura Welman.
That being true, it follows, as his
lordship will doubtless instruct you,
that Mrs. Welman's next of kin was
not her niece, Elinor Carlisle, but
her illegitimate daughter who went
by the name of Mary Gerard. And
therefore Mary Gerard at Mrs. Wei
mans death inherited a vast fortune.
That, gentlemen, is the crux of the
situation. A sum in the neighborhood
of two hundred thousand pounds was
inherited by Mary Gerard. But she
herself was unaware of the fact. She
was also unaware of the true identity
of the woman Hopkins. You may
think, gentlemen, that Mary Riley or
Draper may have had some perfectly
legitimate reason for changing her
name to Hopkins. If SO, why has she
not come forward to state what the
reason was?
Cali that we do know is this: That
at Nurse Hopkins instigation, Mary
Gerard made a will leaving every
thing she had to Mary Riley, sister
of Eliza Riley We know that Nurse
Hopkins, by reason of her profession,
had access to morphine and to apo
morphine and was well acquainted
with their properties. Furthermore,
i has been proved that Nurse Hop
kins was not speaking the truth when
she said that her wrist had been
pricked by a thorn from thonless
rose tree. Why did she lie, if it were
not that she wanted hurriedly to ac-
count for the mark just made by the
hypodermic needle? Remember, too,
that the accused has stated on oath
that Nurse Hopkins, when she joined
her in the pantry, was looking i'll, and
her face was of a greenish color
comprehensive enough if she had just
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1942-02-13
it's all rather silIy!"

it's all rather silly!"
Elinor cried: ooh, you are a COM
forting person
Peter Lord said rather incoherent-
Iy: Not at all Just common sense
EHnor said, and there were sud
denly tears in her eyes: Every now
and then-in court looked at you.
1t gave me courage You looked so
SO ordinary" Then she laughed.
That's rude!"
He said: Il understand When
you're in the middle Of a nightmare
something ordinary is the only hope.
Anyway, ordinary things are the best.
I've always thought So"
For the first time since she had
entered the car she turned her head
and looked at him. The sight Of his
face didn't hurt her as Roddy's face
always hurt her; it gave her no sharp
pang Of pain and pleasure mixed; in
stead, it made her feel warm and
comforted. She thought: How nice
his face is nice and funny-and,
yes, comforting
They drove on They came at last
to gateway and drive that wound
upwards till it reached quiet white
house on the side OF hill
he SAID; you'll be quite safe here
No one will bother you.
Impulsively she laid her hand on
his arm. She said; "You-youIl come
and see me?'
"Of course.

and in jumping to the conclusion that
it was a morphine label.
The witness Hopkins has stated
that She pricked her wrist on a rose
tree at the lodge The witness War
grave has examined that tree, and it
has no thorns on it. You have to de
eide what caused the mark ON Nurse
Hopkins wrist and why she should
tell lie about it
"If the Prosecution has convinced
you that the accused and no other
committed the crime, then YOU must
find the accused guilty.
If the alternative theory suggested
by the Defense is possible and con
sistent with the evidence. the accused
must be acquitted
q will ask you to consider the YER
dict with courage and diligence,
weighing only the evidence that has
been put before you"
Elinor was brought back into the
court. The jury filed in.
"Gentlemen of thejury, are YOU a
greed upon your verdict ?"
Yes"
Look upon the prisoner at the bar,
and say whether she is guilty or not
guilty"
mot guilty" said the foreman of
the jury, his eyes fixed on Elinor.
They had brought her out by a
side door She had been aware of
faces welcoming her Roddy the
detectives with the big moustaches
But it was to Peter Lord she had
turned. q want to get away "
She was with him now in the
smooth limousine, driving rapidly out
of London.
He had said nothing to her. She had
sat in the blessed silence. Every
minute taking her farther and far
Their away. A new life That was
what she wanted A new life. She
said suddenly: "I-I want to go some
where quiet where there won't be
any faces.
Peter Lord said quietly: That's
all arranged. You're going to san
atorium. Quiet place. Lovely gar
dens. No one will bother you-Or get
at you"
She said with a sigh; ''Yes-that's
what 1 want

that made him understand. He knew
and didn't bother her. So blessed

been violently sick.


Il will underline yet another
point: If Mrs. Welmau had lived
twenty-four hours longer, she would
have made a will; and in all proba-
bility that viii would have made a
suitable provision for Mary Gerard,
but would not have left her the bulk
of her fortune, since it was Mrs. Wei
mans belief that her unacknowledged
daughter would be happier if she re
NAMED in another sphere of life.
1T is not for me to pronounce on
the evidence against another person,
except to show that this other person
had equal opportunities and far
stronger motive for the murder.
Looked at from that point of view,
gentlemen of the jury, l submit to
you that the case against Elinor Car
Isle falls to the ground
From Mr.. Justice Reddingfield's
summing-up:
You must be perfectly salts
fled that this woman did, in fact, ad-
minister a dangerous dose of NOR
phia to Mary Gerard on July 9th.
If you are not satisfied, you must ac-
quit the prisoner.
"The Prosecution has stated the on
ly person who had the opportunity to
administer poison to Mary Gerard
was the accused. The Defense has
sought to prove that there were other
alternatives. There is the theory that
Mary Gerard committed suicide, but
the only evidence in support of that
theory is the fact that Mary Gerard
made a will shortly before she died.
There is not the slightest proof that
she was depressed or unhappy or in
state of mind likely to lead her to
take her own life. 1t has also been
suggested that the morphine might
have been introduced into the sand
wiches by someone entering the pan
try during the time that Elinor Car
Isle was at the lodge. In that case,
the poison was intended for Elinor
Carlisle, and Mary Gerrard's death
was mistake. The third alternative
suggested by the Defense is that a
mother person had an equal oppor-
tunity to administer morphine, and
that in the latter case the poison was
