FORMAL REQUEST
On March 10 the Macomb
county Board of Supervisors
had formally requested the Ma
comb prosecutor to determine
the right of John H. Nunneley,
now serving as legal counsel to
the Road Commission, to hold
that appointment inasmuch as
his father, and law-partner
Bert V. Nunneley is a member
of the county Board of Super
visorS.
The elder Nunneley, while a
member of the Board of Super
visors, had for many years him.
self served as attorney for the
road department.
The attorney-generals ruling
went beyond merely ruling out
the legality of John Nunneley
serving as attorney for the road
board. 1t said, likewise, that the
Road Commission has no au-
thority to hire legal counsel in
any save Covert Road litiga-
ton; and that, even then, the
employment of Nunneley would
be illegal due to his fathers
membership on the Board of Su-
pervisors.
PROSECUTOR DOES WORK
Attorney-General Dethme S
likewise ruled that the prosecu-
tor himself would be the only
proper source of legal guidance
for the road commission.
The opinion, now enroute to
the Macomb prosecutors office,
will be formally presented to
the Board Of Supervisors at its
regular April meeting. State
Senator Ivan A. Johnston had
served as counsel for the Road
Commission during the two
year period, 1943-1944, between
the elder Nunneley's personal
representation of the Road Com
mission and the hiring of his
son, John, in that capacity in
January of this year.

As we descended the hill from Villa Lam
bardi, asked de Treville question which
had been waiting to ask since our first strange
interview with the Professor: mo doubt, as
usual, you have your own reasons for reti-
cence, Trevvy; but you had given me no hint
that the villa was being watched by someone
called Stalberg Who is Stalberg?"
HIS reply brought me up with jerk: II
haven't the faintest idea" Since / had
stopped, he stopped also, and turned, regard
ing me.
May remind you that you said to Pro-
fessor Lambardi, 'Stalberg is here? The in

A bit later, we were joined by Trevvy and
the Professor. The latter's manner had
changed; nothing now remained of his earlier
truculence When Francesca returned to the
house to prepare refreshments he said, look
ing after the graceful figure: "She is lovely

in silence.

him perilously near to the borderline. Even
now, the identity of 'Stalberg' is mystery.

for example, he still might make secret visits,

"And has he such masterpiece in his

Trevvy rested his hand on my arm. He

this point his memory has failed completely

Trevvy hesitated. "In some way which
have yet to find out. :. But remember -
not word to the Professor"
Trevvy's method of probing the mystery
was, to say the least, peculiar. First he wired
to Rome for copies of all the paintings or
photographs available of Villa Lambardi and
its grounds. Then we spent the next three
nights prowling secretly about the villa prop
erty like burglars.
ON THE third night - there was full moon
we explored cavern approached by way
of sunken garden. asked, Might inquire
why this couldn't be done during the day?
We lunched here this morning, and might
have had the assistance of the Professor and
his niece in our search"
You may recall" Trevvy said, that
warned you not to mention our plans to the
Professor. My reason was this: He has as
sured me that nothing of value is concealed
here. Openly, dare not dispute his word.
He sincerely believes his statement is true"
But you think otherwise?"

Lucieto laughed: 1T is too many

but how could an old man like you
know such things? All, no! If was
betting man, would give odds of
ten, even twenty to one that you
know nothing. Gas in shells? Abb

Before long, the bet was made.
To settle it, next day the Waterman
struggled Lucieto into the Krupp
plant, to witness demonstration
of the new weapon being staged for
the Kaiser. The weapon was dew
astating. Sheep used in the demon
stration died instantly.
Lucieto needed sample of that
new gas for analysis. A shell frag-
ment would be enough. AS he paid
the bet, he said:

Three days later a fragment Of
shell, supplied Lucieto by the help
full Waterman, was in Paris, in the
hands of M. Bayle, one of frances
greatest chemists. From minute
particles Of chemicals adhering TO
the shells, he was able to determine
the shells were charged with phos-
gene and chloroformiat trichloro-
methyl.
Thus, when the new gas shells
were used, the Allies had an inn
proved mask which was as effective
against the new gas as the old mask
would have been useless.
