"Bradford's got something up his
sleeve" murmured Defense Counsel
Martin. "And what's &c. doing in
COURT"
"Who?" Ellery looked about.
~. C. Pettigrew, the real-estaS~
man. There's Bradford whispering
to him."
Here's Newbold," said Judge
Martin, hastily standing up. IRE
member, Lola, just answer Carriers

nation" he whispered grimly as
the bailiff shouted to the courtroom
to rise.
J. C. Pettigrew sat down in the
witness chair, swabbing his face
with a blue polka-dot handkerchief.
He testifies that he's been friend
Of the Wrights for many years-his
daughter Carmel 10 Patricia
Wright's best friend.
(Pat congresses her lips. Her
''best friend" has not telephoned
since January first.)
Q.-I hand you this cancelled
check, Mr.. Pettigrew. Do you rec

A.-Yep.
Dread what It says.
A.-The date December 81, 1910.
Then it says: Pay to the order Of

Odd you make out this

Al did.
Q.-To whom did you give this

A-To Lola Wright

worried
Q.-Just tell rs what she said
and you said.
A.-Well, that's all, I guess. I
gave it to her. Oh, yes. She asked
for cash. I said / didn't have any
cash to spare, and it was past bank
ing hours, so I'd give her a check.
Then / made out a check, she said
thanks, and that's all.
Odd Miss Wright tell You
what she wanted the money for?
A.-No, sir, and I didn't ask her.
The check was placed in evidence.
Judge Martin had been about to
demand the deletion Of all jos
remarks until he turned the check
over and saw what was written on
the other side. Then he waved his
hand magnanimously and declined
to cross-examine.
Lola Wright was nervous as she
took the oath, but her gaze was
defiant. Prosecutor Bradford showed
her the check in evidence.
"Miss Wright, what did you do
with this check when you received
it from J. C. Pettigrew?"

Foolish girl, thought Ellery:
Don't make things worse by being
difficult.
Bradford held the check up before
her. Miss Wright, perhaps this
will refresh your memory. Read the

Lola swallowed. Then she said in
low voice: flames Haight."
At the defense table the accused
seized that instant to smile. II was
the weariest smile imaginable. Then
he sank into apathy again.

CHAPTER THIRTY

On Saturday night, Nora invited
Roberta Roberts and Judge Eli

room. Ludie had tightly tapped the
blinds and lit fire. They sat before

Nora was too much there.
"Mr. Smith, you haven't said
