hope I'm going to convince you
that It would be hopeless for you
to deny the truth about why you
sent It This will take a little time.
ITO begin with, what does that
note mean7 It means this: You
killed your husband, Mrs. Hime. So
far you've got away with it, but
you're not going to escape entirely.
If nothing else, there's your own
knowledge Of what you've done,
and you will live with that for the
rest Of your life.' That's all, abso-
lutely all, that note could possibly
be construed to mean. / think Mrs.
Hime herself toys with the notion
that there Is some furtive menace
in the words. But the writing of an
accusing. unsigned note Is the op-
posite Of menacing. For one thing,
the writer has, for some reason, to
hide his identity, which means that
he In to some extent important and
knows 1t. For another-well, I'm
reminded Of the old childhood say
ing: Sticks and stones may break
my bones, but names will never
hurt me- That note was q name
calling, really. Pretty weak stun.
The ambiguity Of the note inter-
ested me. It implies q knowledge
which you believed Mrs. Hime
shared. What could that knowledge
be7 That she had killed her hus-
band. Now II she had, that note
would be q frightening thing to re-
eeive, because II showed that some
one else knew what she had done.

were guilty. perhaps at the end Of
her rope, she might, she just pos
sibls MIGHT give herself up. This
would accomplish an end you de-
sired without wishing to give the
information which would bring II
about
1T was q pretty thin hope, and
ties in with the strongly dramatic
favor Of the note, written by q per-
son whose lack Of experience with
life enables her still to believe In
the myth Of the human conscience,
to believe that q person capable Of
murder Is capable of anguish over
its commission. That Is not usually
the case.

The Birthday Murder

/ the death Of man who had always
been terribly. terribly kind to you,
I'm going to tell you why you were
able to believe that Mrs. Hime
killed her husband.
"At first you said she was jeal-
Gus. You gave as your reason the
fact that she had refused you q
part you felt you could handle. You
also threw in gratis the suggestion
of a psychotic jealousy Of all beau
tiful women. You are, by the way,
beautiful, Miss Hastings. I concede
that.
Nov none Of that bothered me.
It didn't influence me either for or
against Mrs. Hime. You see, the
thought occurred to me that one
cannot attribute to others motives
Of which he Is not himself capable.
A person too large to feel jealousy
doesn't recognize 1t In others. And
the curious notion occurred to me
that you are extremely Jealous Of
Mrs. Hime. That shows a lot Of
greed when you have both youth
and beauty, but you want success.
She has it. However, that Is q little
beside the point.
AT the inquest you went back
on your previous statement as to
Mrs. Hines jealousy.
AT first this was rather q
shock, I admit. But then the appar-
ent reason became clear to me.
There was Mr.. Leighman, who
thinks so well Of Mrs. Hime. You
felt that to speak against her In
front Of him would make him dis
like you and so make him refuse to
give you the part Of Ina Hart. So.
I told myself, you had come to real
lie the untruth Of that previous
emotional statement as to Mrs.
Hines jealousy Of you. You were
willing to leave 1t behind under
pressure Of new emotion, the hope
Of getting the part after all,
