self that its quite different here
Victoria knew that she would
never forget his face, looking down
at her.
The coroner's inquest into the
death of Albert Hime took place
at l o'clock on the Tuesday follow
IuE his death. 1t was held in a small
tan-paneled courtroom in the Los
Angeles City Hall. The inquest
could have been delayed pending
the unCOVeriUg Of further evidence
by the police. but Tuck, Gufferty
and the district attorney were of
the opinion that the nature of the
case did not warrant such a delay.
The district attorney was sure
that only a confession Of guilt
would conclusiVely solve it.
Tuck was fairly certain what the
outcome Of the inquest would De
a verdict of murder at the hands Of
a person or persons unknown, al
though this would depend to some
extent on the coroner and on the
coroner's jury also. He had seen
coroner's juries whose personality
ranged from lethargic stupidity
which docilely went by the letter Of
the coroner's summing up Of the
evidence to juries who boldly
brought forth an unexpected deci-
sion as to where the guilt lay. So
he could not be sure.
Victoria Hime. wearing a gray
striped suit and a wide, tilted black
felt hat which chung to her short
CRAVING hair by means Of a black
bandanna, looked hard, capable and
determined. Tuck noted the
strength and purity Of the line OF
her jaw, the goodness of her clear
gray eyes. the sternness Of her
wide mouth. She testified as to the
identity OF the deceased. She u.s.
serted her belief that he had no,
killed himself. she described brief
ly the last dinner they had eaten TO-
gether.
The coroner, a precise man, gray
Of face and hair, showed some con
fusion over the matter OF the su
gar, for which Tuck could no
blame him.

Of self-pity on the woman's face.
CHANGING at the faces Of the jury,
Tuck saw the pity that Victoria
Hines face had not shown. He
realized that her self-c0ntIuI had
impressed them far moro than
tears would lave done.
Hazel Bennett was called to the
stand next. Although she had never
before looked SO, in the witness box
she looked like a servant. After the
smart severity of Nict0ria's clothes.
Hazel's black. loose-hanging coat
was doWdy, her straw hat with lis
white flower was hand-me-dOWn,
and her hands. c%lutching the strap
Of her bullying black purse. were
the hands of the insecure.
She looked terribly frightened.
Her voice came out with an effort,
her pallid eyes blinked behind her
glasses, she frequently had to pause
paused she wet her soft sagglNg
lips With a furtive tongue. The
faces of the jury watched her at
first with a slightly Condescending
amusement which changed to inter-
est as her testimony regarding the
destruction Of the poison came out
reluctantly. After that matter had
been made clear. the COrOner's gray
lips asked crisply: You filled the
sugar bowl that was on the table
on the night MI. Hlme died?"
Yes, sir"
"When?"
Pause. We'll. it was the night be-

Sharply. You guess"

Hazel described them.

Hazel hesitated. She sQuintet.
She leaned a little forward, peerirG
intently through the thick lenses

ened her world SC visibiy "Sugac!"
she announced triumphantly.

Stock Market Drifts
Lower, but Retains
Gain for Week
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The stock
market shifted irregularly lower to-
day although holding a net gain on
the week for the first time since the
period concluded September 27.
The final session was the slowest
Of the past two years with both
selling and buying interest cool from
the start. While modest advances
were well distributed at the close,
minus signs maintained the ma
jority. Transfers of 100000 shares
compared with the previous Satur-
day two weeks ago of 10000 and
were a minimum since October %,
1914.
Apprehension over the recent
slump in commodities, brokers said,
together with caution inspired by
decontrols, the climb of industrial
inventories to new peak, the COM
plex international picture as de-
scribed by Secretary Byrnes and
thoughts of a possible business de-
flation in coming months, served as
a speculative and investment re-
straint.
On the day, Du Pont was off 214
points at 1854, American Woolen
preferred 21s at 1885,, United States
Rubber q at 57s4, Chrysler u at 81
and General Motors u at 81. Motors
had to contend with the move of
automotive unions for new wage
contracts.
Westinghouse Airbrake was up q
at 2S34 on lifted year-end dividend.
American Telephone added ss at
1875, Philip Morris 7s at SO and
Texas Co. p at 58 Steels and rails
did little either way.
Average Off Slightly.
For the day the Associated Press
60-stock composite was off 2 OF a
pooint at 629, but for the six days
showed an advance of l.3 points.
Transfers for the week amounted to
7,838,525 shares against 7,9l0,69O in

Union Opens
Coop Theatre

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 2 -
(LPA)-The st. Louis Coop
Theatre, recently formed work
ers' organization, has given new
impetus to the idea of national
labor theatre movement. Labor
leaders everywhere are keeping
an eye on this new deVelopmnt
in the story of labor in the the
atre, which may well set the pat
tern for future dramatic organi-
cations backed by unions.
Guiding spirit of the new prof.
ect is Joseph M. Reynolds, busi-
ness manager for the Midwest
Labor World, st. Louis CIO-
owned newspaper. Aided by Gus
Moehlman, rank and file men,
Der of the Wholesale and Re-
tail Employees Union, Reynolds
has succeeded in interesting un-
ion leaders in the Coop The
atre, including Frank Swantner,
manager of the Joint Board of
the CIO Textile Workers, and
Harold j. Gibbons, regional di-
rector of the URWDSEA-CIO.
Basic principle of the theatre
is that the best expression of
labor's cooperative ideals is
thiough an organization in
which union members work to-
gether in writing, acting, build
ing sets and all the activities
which make up a dramatic pro-
duction.
The theatre is to be set up
under Missouri state laws as a
non-profit organization in which
members hold shares, elect Of
ficers, and conduct the business
of the theatre on a democratic
level. There is no race, creed or
color bar, a fact which has
drawn the attention of enthu-
siastic young liberals both with
in the labor movement and out
side it,
