Rotary Hears Of Center Work

Arthur Larkin, field director of the Red Cross in charge of the recreation center in town, was host to the Rotary Club Tuesday at the center and spoke to the members on the clubs work.
 The center building, which IS leased by the Red Cross, is to be turned back to the lessor as a community center after the war, along with the improve ments and additions the Red Cross, has made. The facilities of the club are open to all branches of the servies and the club IS also used for Catholic services and American Legion meetings at present. Civilians are welcome at any time, MT. Larkln explained, and may use facilities whenever it doesn't deprive service men of them.
 He also announced that the center's library of over 1900 books is now open to the public, without any charge and with a limitation of one book being withdrawn at a time. The Alas ka collection may be used at the library by anyone for reference.
 The center also has in mind turning the library oyer to the pubic after the war to be used as a nucleus for a public library, if such arrangements can be made.
 The center caters to an aver age of $50 persons a day and has had over thousand in one day, Larkin said.

INQUEST
CHAPTER XII
henry

I didn't sleep much that night
because of something that occurred
10 me after I went upstairs to bed.
I remembered about the gun.
The first summer after Mich
aels death Walter had been
nervous about Margaret and me
staying alone in the big house at
night, and he had insisted that I
have a revolver for protection.
But I had been more afraid of the
gun than had of providers, so
put 1t far back in one of the
drawers of my writing desk.
I started toward the desk by the
windows, before I realized that
the gun wouldn't be there 1t was
in my own room - the turquoise
room.
So I got into bed and turned
off the light But remembering
about the gun had started the
whole hideous evening revolving
in my mind-my walk to Matti-
sons cottage, my scare in the
woods chow far away and unreal
that seemed now Shaw badger
ing Connie into a terrified confess
sion by showing her the heel she
had lost in the ravine and the note
from Derek.
Suddenly I sat straight up in
bed. What blind fool had been.
That note-it hadn't been sent to
Connie at all
That's how it happened that I
lay awake until the black velvet
squares of the windows turned
gray and the birds began to cheep
boldly with the Frightening day.
I fell asleep then from sheer eX-
haustion, and it was broad day
light when I aWoke.
got up and slipped on a bril-
liant Chinese robe a favorite of
mine with its wide sleeves lined
with scarlet silk, and went down
the hall to the turquoise room -
Comics for the time being. The
door was ajar and the room was
empty. I went over to the desk
and pulled open all the drawers
and searched it thoroughly.
The gun wasn't there!
Dereks funeral was set for that
afternoon, and just after breakfast
Shaw phoned saying that the cor
oner's inquest was to be held at

1920 that morning in Middleton,
and that Connie and I would have
to be there. So I turned the final
arrangements for the funeral over
to Walter and he took the roadster
and drove into Liston to the under
takers. John drove Connie and me
to Middleton in the big car, and
Kathy went along for moral sup
port.
Connie and I were called as the
first witnesses. We were sworn in
and had to tell exactly how and
where we found Derek's body.
There were no cross-questions. 1t
wasn't much of an ordeal.
Then Chief Deputy Shaw took
the stand He began with my
telephone call to the sheriff's
Office, gave the time the call came
in, proceeded briskly to tell of his
arrival at Kraiktower, his inspec-
ton of the body, and ended with
a brief summation of our state
ments to him which fixed the
probable time of the crime.
Next he produced some photo
graphs of the body and the cave
and showed them to the coroner.
Also the bullet which had been
taken from Derek's body! Shaw
said it was a bullet from .38 but
that the gun from which it had
been fired had not yet been found
The coroner then asked him if
that was ALL and he said it was.
l know I gasped. He hadn't men,
toned the heel from Comics slip
per that had been found under
Derek's body, or the note from
Derek.
The autopsy surgeon was the
next witness called. He described
the bullet wound in technical
terms which simmered down to
the fact that one bullet had been
fired into Derek'S chest and had
pierced his heart. Death, he said,
had been instantaneous.
The doctors closing statement
carried me back to that moment
in the ravine when I had knelt
| beside Dereks body and felt his
warm cheek and wondered at the
surprised look on his dead face.
Death had not only been quick. 1
thought, it had been unexpected.
1t had come from the hand of
someone in whom he had never
danger. Black horror
again rolled over my mind.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-16

I got grip on myself and tried
/ to fasten my attention on the
present proceedings in that musty,
ill-ventilated court house ante
room. The coroner was calling
for Margaret Grady to take the
stand.
Deputy Shaw got to his feet
again. He explained that he
hadn't served Mrs. Grady, the
grandmother of the dead man,
with a summons to appear, be-
, cause she was in a state of col
lapse. The coroner and the
sheriff and the assistant prosecu-
, tor conferred and then the coro-
ner said that the inquest would
be adjourned until such time as
Margaret Grady could be present
to answer questions.
Derek's father and stepmother
had arrived when we got home.
They were up in Margaret's room.
| 1 went up to see them.
Will Grady is still a handsome
man ? despite his grizzling hair
Derek got his looks from him.
Will rose to his feet and shook
! hands with EN- and introduced me
to his wife. She was big, blond
fiashy. And her eyes were set too
close together. She murmured a
conventional acknowledgement, and
her eyes went over me jealousy
from patent pumps to Revlon nail
polish, not missing the suit by
Schiaparelli or the diamond rings.
Without lifting a finger l had
made an enemy.
I asked Will If he and his wife
would like TO stay a day or two

said.

line dispatches said today that the
decisive" battle for Orel had begun
and the Red Army was hopping up
the last German strong points
northeast and northwest of the city
Three weeks to the day after the
Russians stormed the German sal
lent around Orel in their first sum-
mer offensive of the war, military
quarters said the capture of the key
stone base now was foregone con-
cluSion.
After a few days of relative relaxa-
ton for regrouping of forces, the
fighting blazed up to a new peak OF
intensity as the slowly but steadily
advancing Red Army shock units
pulverized one German strong point
after another.
Russian columns we're closing
against Orel from three main direc-
tions--northWeSt, east and south
and had narrowed considerably the
westward corridor between the
points of the assault arc hugging
the city.
The Army organ Red Star said
the fiercest struggle was going on
north of Orel. where the Red Army
intensifying its attacks. drove the
Germans from several vital defense
positions and occupied dozens of
communities.
Formidable German forces were
stationed below Bolkhov, captured

Harlem Has
Peace, Now

New York, Aug. 3-(UP)-Har-
lem was quiet today as authorities
investigated yesterdays bloody riot
which resulted in five deaths. more
than 500 injuries, 500 arrests and
an estimated 100000 in property
damage.
Police stood guard over the thick
ly-populated i-egro district to pre-
vent recurrence of fighting, oloting,
arson and robbery.
Backing up police were 5000 New
York State guardsmen from the
Metropolitan area, who assembled
at their armories last night in
readiness to enter the debris litter
ed area should the disturbances
break out again.
A volunteer civilian patrol of
1900 residents, mostly Negroes,
helped keep the peace. City patrol
units, military police and air raid
wardens were on guard.
A 1890 p. m. curfew imposed by
Mayor F.. H. LaGuardia kept vir-
tually all the districts 300 900 negro
residents indoors all night. And for
the first time in months, lights IN
Harlem shone brightly as the Army
permitted suspension of dim-out
regulations to help police keep or
der.
Only a few scattered incidents
we're reporte dduring the night.
Five negro youths were arrested for
thowing a stone tough a store
window, and police said seven ne
gros were injured in fist fights and
stabbings.
Police said after a check Of NOR
CUES that the total dead was five
and not six as reported yesterday.
