Solve a Crime by A.C. GORDON
You stoop down by the body of Tim Senders, operator at the
toft-drink concession at the county fairgrounds. A big. ugly. Mood*
•-ncrusted wound over his left temple Is mute testimony of the cause
of his death, but the light from your flashlight falls to pick up any
weapon In the area around the body. '
Finally you straighten up and direct a look at the two men stand
ing nearby. One of them is Fred Moore, general manager of the fair
that has been taking place all week on these grounds, and the other is
.lot Johnson, one of the Itinerant workers employed by the fair. John
.son is the man who discovered the body, and you ask him for his
Atory
‘ The last of the people had left the grounds by midnight.” be
gins Johnson. "My work was finished, and I was walking around get
ting a breath of air before turning in. I happened to walk near Tim
Sander's stand here and I saw a man bent over Tim's body on the
ground. I didn't think at first that anything serious had happened,
so I called over and asked what was up. I couldn't see In the dark
who this other guy was . . . but when I started toward him. he wheel
ed around and disappeared into the dark. Then I saw that Tim was
dea4 •. . and I almost fell over with surprise . . but then when I
managed to get my senses together 1 ran over to Mr. Moore's office
and told him what happened.”
"Poor old Tim.” Fred Moore shakes his head mournfully. "I had
been talking with him only about an hour or so before this happened.
Little did I know then that It was to be our last chat together. I've
ilready checked his cash drawer the money Is all gone . . . more
than S3OO. I know this, because Tim had mentioned to me that
he had a good night’s business and that his last check showed close
to *3OO In the till.”
‘‘{Someone else must have been keeping pretty good check on
Tims business, too.” you remark
Moore nods his head In agreement ‘‘That certain 'someone' might
even have been lurking nearby while Tim and I were talktne, too.
Tim always did talk in a sort of booming voice, and It wouldn't have
been very difficult for the thetf to overhear hla report o' hla recelpU.”
Moore pausea to light the stub of cigar he has clenched between hla
teeth, then mournfully resumes "What a shock it was when Johnson
hers came busting Into my offloe with the news that Tim had been
slugyw) over the head with one of hla own empty so't drink bottles I
A real brutal crime!"
How long have you been working with this fair?” you question
Joe Johnson.
“Oh. Just for the past week.” replies Johnson as he rubs a hand
over the stubby growth of beard on his chin. “I work for lots of fairs
and carnivals ... do lots of traveling, all over the country.”
"And you're going to do more traveling right now.” you say.
•'You're going to travel with me to headquarters for soma more
questioning about this murder!”
Why do you suspect Joe Johnson of the crime?
ANSWERS
Although rou were unable to find any murder weapon. Joe
Johnson revealed hla guilt when, according to Fred Moore's story, he
came running Into Moore's office with the newt that Banders had
been slugged over the head with a soft-drink bottle.
