Neither the Kecns nor Angie slept that
night
In the early hours of the morning of June
18th filling station attendants in the Chicago
area waited nervously, with police hidden in
supply closets and behind gas pumps At each
home. on the list Detective Keen gave his su-
peror at least two policemen waited, too.
In the Moerbeck cottage at the edge Of
the prairie that came up to the kitchen gar
den, Sally Moerbeck waited at the telephone
Behind her stood her husband
The telephone rang
She answered, her voice tight and high.

something in the way she left the window
made him pause. Quickly ne turned TO leave.

know"
Keen went home to his wife. She was
taking it bravey but could not do it on her
feet. So he sat down by her bed, while they
waited for the telephone to ring. Harolds
wife was with them
No, it was not the first time Harold had
been in trouble, he thought as he waited,
Harold, the bright baby the cute child, the
growing adolescent disarming everyone with
his charm then that hideous day when it
was found he had stolen money from his
school teachers his persistence as thief in
spite Of reformatories prisons, parole and
prison again. Always the explosions Of re-
bellion against-what?
Keen looked at his wife for a possible
answer TO the mystery. No, she loved the
boy but nothing in her bringing up of him
could account for the criminal.
The detective asked himself if it was he
who was at fault. Yet he and his son had
always played together hunted together IN
the woods. once when Harold %as in trouble,
Keen had said 10 him

"Ill do it," Harold said
He asked his sweetheart TO marry him.
Though Angie was only nineteen she knew
what she was doing when she said yes. They
married and Harold took job. Then the
depression came and he lost il.
The Keens begged him and his wife to
come and stay with them.
THERE'S more than enough for all Of US
here" Keen pleaded Mother can help when
the baby comes and Angie can help Mother
with the housework. I'll help you round up
another job"
Angie came 10 the Keens. Harold stayed
out. Got 10 make money" he said,
Well. he was getting money and his parents
and his wife were at the telephone now
waiting for word about him. Keen took out

Keen understood but knew that hc had no

He went back 10 Angie and questioned

Keen interviewed everyone en- -the-list he
had drawn up. Ten of the interviews prom
iscd little. The eleventh was at the home
Of Sally MocrbcCk, a friend Of Angles living
With her husband in an isolated cottage on
Wallace street.
