Wife's Naeeing

Then, with shaking hand, he
pulled a fountain pen from his
vest pocket and on a piece of
paper he wrote with palsied
hand:
Monday night, March 9Th at
1880 p. m. strangled my wife
and buried her In q trench In
Eleventh street.
"May God have mercy on my
soul. Then 1 returned home and
packed three valises with her
clothes and threw them into the
river from the May avenue
bridge"
1t was almost two years later
ON November 18th, 1940-that
Detective Brown smiled some
what grimly when he noted the
spelling in a newspaper dispatch
that wrote fms to the case:
Roger Cunningham was cleo
trocuted early today after n
dramatic last ditch legal fight,
for strangling his socialite wife,
EndOra."

Where Do Tracks

If Eudora was packing when
her husband arrived home that
Monday night. what man went
upstairs and brought down her
Suitcases?
The husband could be elimi-
mated by the simple process of
taking his shoes from the bed
room and matching them with
the dusty footprints.
This the detective proceeded
10 do and-he found that they
matched perfectly! Roger Cum
ningham had lied!
When Brown got back to his
office he received word from
Inspector Heney that DILLINGHAM;
had been found and questioned.

ningham were fraternity BROTH

. She explained her actions
to him by saying that she had
decided to give up housekeep-
ing for a career; a San Fran
cisco radio agent had written
that he had arranged a radio
TROUT for her on a program
being considered for broad
cast in the near future.
The husband went on 70 tell
how he pleaded with her TO
change her mind; but Eudora
was determined on a career so
finally at midnight, discouraged
and diSpirited, he drove her TO
the railroad station with her
three suitcaSes.
He was too detected to wait
for the train so he left his wife
standing on the platform with
her baggage and returned Ito a
house, not a home"

gram for Mrs. Stokes from San

Mrs. Stokes. mother-like, reread
the telegram and her Joy

ran to her husband and cried:
Joel, Joel. this telegram IL
not from EudOra. Look at the
signature--the name is mis-
spelled. It Is signed Endora In
stead OF EudOra. She wouldn't
spell her own name wrong"
Startled at first, Mr.. Stokes
smiled fondly and patted his
wife's hand reaSSuringly.
That's only a typographical
error" he explained.

Her husband had made a mac

covered her lovely face with a
newspaper so she would not be
soiled by the damp earth.
Shortly before dawn, Cunning

Brown silently extended a mud
caked shoe to the prisoner who
recoiled in horror at the Offering
and sank weakly into the near
est chair.
"Water, water" he pleaded.
After draining the glass in one
gulp he was asked by the de-
tective:

No Ticket Sale

The station agent look d
through his records but found
no sale for a through ticket TO
San Francisco on either the
sixth or seventh.
At this point Inspector Heney
called with information that
was pulling and incomplete.
The telegram had not been
sent by a woman but rather by
2 man who signed himself Monte

AT 8 the following morning
Brown received his call from
Mrs. Stokes; her son-in-law had
left for work and she did not
expect him back until evening.

Joel Stokes broke in sharply

The detective. smiling as he
uShered his visitors out. re-
turned 10 his desk with a frown
the telegram had not even
mentioned her husband whom
she had left ostensibly to assist.
After considering for a few
moments. he called Inspector
John L. Heney of the San Fran
cisco police TO whom he related
his suspicious and in return got
a promise that the telegram
would be traced Immediately.

The evening papers carried
screaming headlines: SOCIETY

The appeal stirred the
memory of contractor P. B.
Odum who was building houses
in a development that was to be
partially financed by the FILA.
Odum got in touch with
Brown and told him that he had
talked WITH Cunningham at the
job on Sunday morning. March

than usually interested in 200

ing to be filled in.
Brown needed no cond
thought TO get the connection;
he requested and received the
contractors cooperation in re-
opening the trench.
Even the newspapermen who
were standing the death watch
took turns at shoveling, glad for
action against the sharp wind
and the ghoStly. depressing
night.
