Pressed for an income tax pay
ment, Nero Wolfe deals himself into
a murder broadcast over a coast-to-
coast hookup. 1t seems that pour
ing a bubbling glass of the drink
you dream of was a standard stunt
on Madeline Frasers radio program
When the drink was poured as
usual, one of Miss Fraser's radio
guests promptly died. Even the
great Wolfe was stumped until
Miss Fraser's No. fan revealed
that one of the bottles-the one
intended for Miss Fraser-was al
ways marked by a bit of scotch tape
And that was the fatal bottle. That
certainly made it look as though
Miss Fraser was the intended VIC

Boston Murders, edited by John N.
Makris. CDueu, Sloan g. Pearce,
Inc; 49,
Bloodhound
Referring to Boston, John Quincy
Adams said: The morals OF our
people are much better" Actually,
homicide happens in Boston, too,
but Mr.. Adams might have had
something. For this ninth volume
in the regional murder series lacks
the variety of San Francisco homi-
cides, the color of the Los Angeles
and Charleston murders and the
wholesale killings of Detroit's gang
era. On the other hand, the authors
have made up in penetration what
they lacked in competition with
other cities. For instance, the story
of Frank Kearney, arrested II years
after he killed little tailor, Is an
unusual study of mans efforts to
escape his conscience. Several of
the other cases have classic twists
the Fantasia case, where two men
were tried and convicted of a crime
only one could have committed, and
the case of punch-drunk Kid Carter,
who confessed to a murder he prob
ably didn't commit. The calendar
of murder trials in the back of the
book is an interesting addition.
The Case of the Curious Client,
by Christopher Bush (Macmil-
Ian Co.; $2.50)
The client called Ludovic Travers
to say his life was in danger and
then didn't keep his appointment to
tell all. A few days later, Travers
found the corpse. An envelope the
client had taken from his lawyer
was obviously clue, but the enve-
lope and its contents were missing.
Then, the clients NaZi activities
early in the war might have had
something to do with his demise,
Or maybe some one wanted 10 get
at a secret cache. The prime sus-
|pects-a returned prisoner of war
a radio comedian and night club
owner-all seemed to have air-tight
alibis. How to break one of those
alibis? Travers turns the trick in
this neatly contrived puzzle by one
of the better puzzlers.

Kaiser-Frazer Stock
Probe 10 Be Resumed
In Detroit May 5
BY the ASsoeioted Press

The Securities and Exchange
Commission prepared today to shift
It's investigation of the Kaiser
Frazer stock case to Detroit
The commission is investigating
the withdrawal February of Otis
e. Co. of Cleveland and the First
California Co. of San Francisco
from a contract to sell 100000
worth of the motor company'S stock.
SEC lawyers investigating the
case refused to name witnesses to
be called in Detroit when the hear
ings resume May S.
A law suit was filed in that CITY
q by James F. MaSterson, Philadelphia
lawyer, on the day the stock deal
was to have been closed.
Suit Called "Phony."
A Kaiser-Frazer attorney, Charles
M. Walton, jr., has testified the suit
was "phony"
Mr.. Masterson appeared before
the commission yesterday, but his
attorney, Lemuel Schofield of Phil
adelphia asked that he be excused
from certain testimony on the
ground it involved confidential"
talks with another lawyer, David
V. Martin, who entered the De-
troit suit for Masterson.
Pending decision Mr.. Master
son testified on other matters.
He said that except for a brief
meeting in Florida with William r.
Daley, president of Otis & Co., he
had never met Otis officials until
after the suit was filed.
When he decided to bring the
suit, Mr.. MaSterson testified, he
did not know what result it would
have on the financing
Depended on Litigation.
The contract for sale of the stock
stipulated that the deal was to
have been closed on February 9
provided no material litigation was
outstanding against Kaiser Frazer.
Mr.. Masterson's suit sought to block
the sale OF the stock issue.
Il thought If I could get the
suit filed on February g." he said,
there would be such publicity ="
that 1t would not make any diff
ference whether they closed the
deal or not" He did not explain
further
Mr.. Martin testified he had
helped prepare the suit only in
minor particulars and that he acted
at Mr.. MaSterson's instructions.
Russell Kelly, SEC attorney in
charge of the investigation, asked
Mr.. Martin whether, before enter
ing the suit, he had talked on the
telephone with Marvin C. Harri-
son of the Cleveland law firm,
Harrison, Thomas, Spangenberg
and Hull.
Mr. Martin said it was possible. j.
He added, in answer to another
question, that IF l talked to Har-
rison I might have made a remark
about suit being filed against
Kaiser Frazer"
Mr.. Kelly asked whether Mr..
Harrison represented Kaiser-Frazer.
or any of the bankers who were
to have sold the stock
Il have not the slightest idea,
Mr. Martin answered.
