lment7 threw the office into a bed
lam Of confusion.
Baffled at the turn of events
Lentz called in a stenographer and
began a vigorous questioning of
the man.
In his confession, Burns told of
la violent misunderstanding with
the garage man about a business
deal, and how. through a faxed
mote. he had lured Hawn TO the
School where he killed
him with a length of pipe.
The confessor agreed 10 elabo-
rate upon the details of the crime
/ if Lentz would agree TO free Mary
Boyd.
But this suggested bargain made
the chief suspicious, and he con
tinued to grill Burns until hi
statements became CONTRADICTORY
and uncertain. Eventually the chief
became convinced I h the mar
was lying and had him locked ur
for the night.

whom the lnnkeeper knew by
sight.
The chief had a look AT the
cabin where the girl had stayed
that night but il bore no vestige
Of crime.
The girl friend was visited next,
and she told a story that agreed
substantially with Mary Boyd's.
As Lentz had expected, the
Charlotte fingerprint expert found
not even a smudGe in the Hawn
coupe-significant evidence be-
cause It neant that the polished
surfaces had been carefully wiped.
The murder weapon, rusted
2-foot length Of pipe. was worth
less for print evidence because Of
its crusty surface.

Easily Explained

Terry, however, took it in stride
and coolly admitted that his name
was on the card-but, he added:
81 got a friend who works on
the day shift to switch with me;
SO he signed my name that
night"
Lentz breathed easier; and when
the signatures were compared,
Terry was proven correct. This, 1t
was later indicated, seemed to be
IA usual practice at the mills.
In its summation the prosecu-
ton charged: that Sam Bost's in
sane jealousy of Mary Boyd had
Iinstigated the crime; Ennis had
been an accessory through friend
lship for Bost; Nose Brown had as
sisted in concealing the murder in
order to protect the reputation OF
his tavern: and Mary Boyd, who
transferred her chameleon affec-
tons from the elderly Hawn to the
younger and more attractive BoSt,
was an accessory in the conceal
ment.
After FIVE days, the evidence was
taken behind locked doors by the
jury. For "a hours they wrangled
over it until the foreman was
