discrepancies from both Hiss
and Chambers. What he notes
as especially significant Is
Chambers unsubStantiated and
virtually discredited account of
a joint excursion to Peterbor-

In all this, Lord Jowitt's
main philosophical point Is
that "in the course Of q long
life in the law I have often
thought that as q general rule
the wicked people are not
foolish and the foolish people
are not wicked" From this
premise he proceeds to an
examination Of the lame or
even nonresident steps taken
by the highly intelligent Hiss
to cover up his Communist
tracks. Why, If guilty, asks
the author, did Hiss not dis
pose eficiently Of the incrimi-
mating typewriter instead of
giving it to servants who could
be traced? Why did he de-
mand to be heard before the
House Un-American Commit
tee and why did he bring the
libel suit? Why did he try to
minimize a long and intimate
association with Chambers,
when to have admitted 1t
would have given weight to
the theory that Chambers
could have typed the docu-
ments on the Hiss typewriter
and could have stolen the
handwritten notes?
These questions which Lord
Jowitt finds baffiing were to

think that a show Of innocence

Mr.. Palazzeschi writes in a
different vein from the young
naturalists considered most
representative of his country
men today. His is the older
tradition of the capacious,
realistic but benign author
who knows all about his char
acters and sympathizes with
them even while exposing their
frailties. It is the difference
between the angular modern
chair and the overstuffed arm
chair. The novel is overstuffed,
too. it must be said, as the
author doesn't seem to care
how often he repeats a point
made at some length before.

DR.. Cronin'S new novel is
an absorbing story. 1t moves
forward without faltering and
much of it is tense with SuS-
pense. An element of mystery
adds interest to a plot laid in
the 1930s. but involving char
acters who might have stepped
out of a mid-Victorian ro-.
nance.
Perhaps there are still such
mislaid people floating around
the British Isles. At least the
author makes them persuasive.
Even the old-fashioned way
in which he often expresses
himself fits into the pattern
of the story. It is, too. a pleas
ant change to come across a
novel with a plot that might
have appealed to Dickens. who
will never be outmoded. DR..
Cronin, whatever his literary
shortcomings, can chain your
attention to his unfolding
story, which is more than can
be said for many contempo-
rary novelists, with their
Fruedian counterpoint and
their slender situations.
Paul Burgess grew up in
Belfast, though he remem-
bered from early childhood a
city in Northern England and
a kindly father who disap-
peared from his life, the re-
ported victim of an accident.
Paul's mother was a neurotic
prude. Their most intimate
friends were a Non-conformiSt
Protestant minister, a widow
er and his Stuffy, puritanical
daughter, supposedly destined
for Paul. The young man was
about to graduate from col
lege and become a teacher
and, through the requirement
of a birth certificate for a
summer teaching job, his
mother was forced to reveal
that their name really was
Mathry. Paul's father. his
mother finally confessed, was
serving life for a particularly
atrocious murder.
Troll Of an Old Crime
Paul could not reconcile the
memory of a conSiderate ia
ther with such a crime. On an
impulse, he took a boat for
England, leaving his mother a
note. He went to the city they
had left Is years ago. AS he
delved into the forgotten case
in the files of a local news
paper he became convinced
that his father was innocent
and he set out to prove it.
There was not only the great
Evening star., 1953-07-19

difficulty Of digging up wit
nesseS and evidence after all
these years, but Paul soon
found that powerful influences
in the town did not want the
case reviewed and were ready
to block him and discredit him.
The leader of this force OF
suppression was q knighted
bafrister, who had prosecuted
Mathry and made a big repu-
tation out Of the sensational
trial. Paul felt that Sir
Matthew Sprott knew Rees
Mathry was not guilty. might
even know who had cut the
girls throat. Then, too, why
had the authorities. after
Mathry had been sentenced to
hang, suddenly arranged for
his sentence to be commuted
to life Imprisonment? Mathry,
meanwhile, had been buried
these years in the most dread
ed prison in England, a moor
bounded place where not even
visitors were allowed.
Press in Action
You'll want to find out for
yourself how this story comes
out. 1t will not disclose too
much to report that an editor
and a reporter blasted the case
open. Not even Sir Matthew
and the local police chief, with
all their connections. could
stop the paper once it had es-
poused Paul's cause.
Paul was a naive youth who
no doubt learned a lot in the
course of his investigation. He
even met a girl he could ad-
mire. DR.. Cronin has added
to the Victorian sentiment
that pervades the story a real
istic touch. When Rees Mathry
was brought out of prison for
the judicial inquiry which the
Home Secretary finally or
dered. he was not the falter-
ing. grateful, middle-aged
man his wife expected when
she came on from Belfast. He
was a tough, embittered con-
vict. who wanted nothing to
do with this self righteous
woman who had never stood
by him but always had be-
lieved him guilty because he
drank and played around a
little.
