"Naturally. Illegal possession

He turned as Bates appeared
in the doorway. The deputy's face
was florid from irritation. "We've

It sounded convincing but Vince
knew Johanson dldnt believe it
any more than he did. Mannley
himself had said. "We can elimi

"We didn't take It" Iris eyes
were growing dull and hopeless.

Johanson actually looked
shocked. "Have you, been there all

"Yes. all the time. I heard
everything you said"
Everything! Then he had heard
of Simeon's death yet he showed
no anguish or surprise. Was it pos
sible that Sophie had told him
after all?
Hugh perched on the sill like
some wary bird. The French lady

demanded sternly.

Johanson's light brows tang

visit without an invitation? With

.Donovan gulped and his wife
paused in the knitting she bad
taken up.
"Let me explain it Bud." Her
eyes glittered as she faced Jo
hanson. "We read about Mann-
ley's being here in a San Fran
cisco paper in August but it
didn't mean much to us at the
time. Bud was sick and 1 was
working in a department store.
It was after we saw the ipecial

"The specialist?"
"Yes. Bud needs an operation
bad. There's only two doctors in
the country can do it and it will
cost plenty. Her voice trembled
then picked ud. "We did Mann
ley a favor once; we thought he
might lend us me dough.
Johansdn looked skeptical.
"Why didn't you write to him
about it?"
"Because Mannley was hard,"
Iris said bitterly. "He'd ignore a
letter."
"And what did he say to your
proposition?"
"He said if he lent us the mon
ey he'd charge six percent in
terest" INCE
stifled the oath that
rose to
his I ids. The sweet
molassesey aroma of tobacco
filled the roonj as Johanson be
gan packing his pipe. "What
were you and Palmer discussing
in your room at two o'clock in
the morning?"
Iris' eyes went to her husband:
they held a question, pleading
with him, and he gave a barely
perceptible nod. "We were talk
ing blackmail," she said.
Vince was startled but Johan
son nodded as though he had
been expecting it
"The three of us knew some
thing about Mannley." Iris went
on. "Palmer was planning to use
it and he accused Bud and me
of coming here to chisel in."
Iris knitting bag fell to the

front of her dress and put it in the
knitting bag."
Johanson eyed him as though
he were on a witness stand and
were undergoing cross examina
tion. "Would you swear to that?"
"Yes. 1 swear it I swear it!"
Hugh giggled with excitement.
The investigator turned to the
Donovans, a rueful smile pulling
at the corners of his mouth. "That
Will be all for now then. ..."
Iris didn't forgive easily. "So
we're no longer considered mur
derers!" ."If I were positive you were
murderers, you d be under arrest"
he replied.-! merely said; j could

minutes after his departure that
Soma Deveraux entered the room
in , answer to the investigator's
summons. She wore a jade green
suit trimmed with kolinsky and
silver bells dangled at her small
well-shaped ears: their faint mu
sical tinkle and the attar of cycla
men followed her into the room.
When she sat down Johanson
walked over to her and held out
the packet of money.
"You've seen this before.
Madam Deveraux?"
She leaned forward slightly
"Non. nevair."
"Hugh saw you place it in Mrs
Donovan's knitting bag last night."
"You would take the seemple
minded one's word against
Sonia's?" ,
"In this case yes." Johanson's
expression was adamant.
She gave a little shrug of defeat
"Very well. I tell you what hap

"And why did you take it in the
first place?",

"Interesting," Johanson com

Donovan." (
"There isn't much to tell." Iris
said. "Bud and I were in the is
lands with a traveling vaude
ville troupe sixteen years ago.
Mannley was playing stage-door
Johnny to the soubrette and he
asked the three of us over to his
beach place at Anahola on Kauai
for a weekend."
She paused to pick up a stitch
in her knitting then continued.
"The second night a native
busted in on us asking for Pal
mer. He said a native woman was
having a baby and needed help.
The Doc and I brought the baby
into the world, it was a cute
little light-skinned girl."
"How did you know It was
Mannley's child?" Johanson said.
"He admitted it" Iris said dis-
gustedly. "He was drinking heav
ily and when we told him about
the baby's birth he just laughed
and said he didn't have to worry
because the Hawaiian girl had an
unsuspecting husband that Mann
ley had sent off to the States and
he'd never learn the truth."
Johanson stared fixedly at the
floor as though he could see the
bulky outline of Simeon Mann
ley's body on the bear rug and
didn't like what he saw. Smoke
drifted lazily from a corner of his
long thin mouth.
"And you say you had no
intention of blackmailing Mann
ley?" Bud moistened his lips. "No, we
didn't We hoped he'd remember
Iris' kindness in helping with the
baby's birth but we didn't plan
to remind him."
'Then how do you explain
that?" Johanson's long finger shot
out. It pointed at Iris' fallen knit
ting bag and a neatly tied pack

hidden by a jumble of yarn.

Sonia's interlaced' fingers were

"I'm afraid not. Surely your
alliance with Mannley was a
profitable one. A man of his
wealth must have gratified every
whim of yours."
