have Just left the courtroom where.
as l write. the trial OF Germany S
war criminals is still in progress.
The courtroom is just above me N
this great stone courthouse which
was almost untouched by the bomb

fll and famous city 10 the point
that II was declared "9l per cent
dead" BY the experts who followed
the occupation by American 'roops

dozen nations about me. Most OF US

in our theater wore Up until re-
Gently correspondents had a siml-
lated rank Of captain. Now we are
simply uniformed civilians operat'
ing under military orders.
As look back over the beginnings
OF this trial the earliest discus
sions before the tribunal itself was
formed Il have the feeling that We
are now looking az something very
real - actual and factual, rather
than theoretical and vague. Al the
first gathering, the appalling condl-
ton Of this city produced the feeling
that all about II and in il must be
chaos too. Nuremberg dates back o
the 18th century and II grew into
such favor and beauty that it bore
the name OF Germany's treasure
chest" II was a chest Of treasures
Of art, song and culture as well as
of the gold that poured into the COZ
fers Of the merchants. Now II is a
shell. and one OF Europe's best ex-
amples Of the atmosphere and
charm Of the middle ages is gone.
How the nearly 800, 900 people who
are said TO be living in these ruins
exist il is hard 10 say. The streets
are cleared, some street cars are
running. some shops are opening,
city government is operating. But
few houses are livable. In some
cases parts Of great Office buildings
have been restored. Such cellars as
can be cleared Of rubble and rooted
are crowded. A huge air raid shell.

think well have Miss Adm next,
and get an outside angle on this
matrimonial business"
Mary Adm came in composedly
and sat down. Beneath her outward
calmness her eyes looked worried.
She answered Leach's questions
clearly enough, confirming Nevile's
account Of the evening. She had
come up to bed about 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Strange was then with Lady
Tressilian?"
"Yes. I could hear them talking"
Talking, Miss Adm, or quar-
reling:"
She flushed, but answered quiet
ly:
Lady Tressilian, you know, was
fond of discussion. She often sound
ed acrimonious when she was real
ly nothing Of the kind. Also. she
was inclined to be autocratic and
TO domineer over people-and a
man doesn't take that kind Of thing
as easily as a woman does"
"As you do, perhaps" thought
Battle.
He looked at her intelligent face.
II was she who broke the silence.
II don't want to be stupid-but It
really seems to me incredible
quite incredible, that you should
suspect one OF the people in this
house Why shouldn't it be an out
sider?"
For several reasons, Miss Adm.
For one thing, nothing was taken
and no entry was forced. l needn't
remind you OF the geography OF
your own house and grounds, but
just bear this in mind. On the west
is sheer clih down to the sea, to
the south are a couple OF terraces
with a wall and drop to the sea,
on the east the gar len slopes down
almost TO the shore. but it Is sur
rounded by high wall. The only
ways out are q small door leading
through on to the road which was
found bolted inside as usual this
morning and the main door to the
house which Is set on the road. I'm
not saying no one could climb that
wall, nor that they could not have
got In by slsing a spare key 10 the
front door or even a skeleton key
but I'm saying that as far as I can
see no one did do anything OF the
sort. Whoever committed this
crime knew that Barrett took SEN
ma pod infusion every night and
doped it-that means someone in
the house. The niblick was taken
from the cupboard under the stairs.
1t wasn't an outsider, Miss Adm"
1T wasn't Neville! I'm sure 1t
wasn't Nevile!"
Why are you so sure?"
She raised her hands hopelessly.
1T Just Isn't like him-that's
why! He wouldn't kill q defenseless
woman in bed-Nevilew
1T doesn't seem very likely"
said Battle reasonably, but you'd
be surprised at the things people do
when they've got q good enough
reason. Mr.. Strange may have
wanted money very badly"
I'm sure he didn't. He's not an
extravagant person-hs never has
BEEN"
mo, but his wife Is"
Kay? Yes, perhaps-but, oh, It's
too ridiculous. I'm sure the last
thing Neville has been thinking OF
lately IS money"

81 HERMAN BUSD.SEN. ". c
SLEEPLESSNESS is seldom a
problem for the person who does
hard physical work. Il is often a
problem among such persons as
writer's, professional men and
women ard artists. 5leeplesSness
may be due 10 many causes, among
them being mental or emotional
conflicts, worry, fear, and anxiety.
Often the sleepless person is not
even aware of exactly what II -
that is troubling him. and It may
require the services Of a specialist
in diseases Of the nervous system
10 ferret out the cause.
There are a number Of diseases,
such as toxic goitre, high blood
pressure, indigestion and many in
fections which contribute TO sleep
-tessness. Too much mental stimu-
lation may also lead to sleepless-
ness. After a busy day requiring
a great deal Of mental activity,
many persons find that they just
cannot slow down enough by bed
time to fall asleep promptly.
Other Interference
OF course, other things. sucn as
noise, light and improper sleeping
surroundings, may interfere with
sleep. The excessive use Of stimu-
lating beverages may be another.
cause of sleeplessness.
1t can be seen that, when sleep
lessness occurs, it is important
that a careful study be made as
soon as possible TO determine the
cause and eliminate it.
Sleep-producing drugs are not
without their dangers. They may
be habit-forming and their use, ex-
cept under the directions Of a
physician, would hardly appear
advisable. Many persons who, on
one or another occasion have found
it difficult to fall asleep, have
resorted to the use of these drugs
and then have just kept up their
use when there was really no need
for them. OF course, this practice
should be frowned upon.
There is large variety of sleep
producing drugs known as bar
biturates. Just which one should
be used and for how long, Of
course, is a matter for the physi-
elan to decide, and he will pre-
scribe it in the proper dose. When
used in this way, it is likely that
habit formation may be avoided
and the dangerous effects of sleep
producing drugs prevented.

CHA PIER TWENTY NINE

CHAPTER TWENIY-NlNE
SERGEANT JONES adroitly got
rid OF Neville through the hall and
dining room and then brought Kay
in by the French window so that
husband and wife did not meet.
He'll see all the others, though,
Leach remarked.
"All the better" said Battle. IT'S
only this one want to deal with
while she's still In the dark"
The day was overcast with a
sharp wind. Kay was dressed in a
tweed skirt and a purple sweater
above which her hair looked like a
FURNISHED copper bowl. She looked
half frightened, half excited. Her
beauty and vitality bloomed
against the dark Victorian back
ground Of books and saddleback
chairs.
Leach led her easily enough over
her account Of the previous eve
ming.
She had had a headache and
had gone TO bed early-about quar-
ter past nine, she thought. She had
slept heavily and heard nothing I'M
