In hls chest.
“A pure case of self-defense." exclaims hls young Junior part
ner, Jim Layton. “We were struggling for possession of the gun you
see lying on the floor next to him . . . suddenly it went off. He had
a terrible uncontrollable temper . . . everyone knows that . . . but 1
certainly never dreamed that he would ever try to use a gun on me.”
He pulls a large, white handkerchief from his pocket, mops the pers
piration from hls brow, and shakes hls head mournfully.
“Let’s have the entire story, from the beginning." you prompt
him
“Well, Mr. Manners had been especially angry and peevish toward

too much credit for some of our recent business suooeases . . . kept
reminding me that this was his business, that It had been built on
hls name and by his efforts, and that no ’upstart’ like me was going
o take over. 1 tried my best to soothe him down, telling him I was
Just trying to do my beet for the company and that oertatrdy I was
not In any way attempting to compete with him for any of the busi
ness. But despite all I could say or do, he still persisted In needling
me and making sarcastic remarks about ‘the boy wonder.’ This morn
li« he was worse than ever . . . seemed to be working himself Into a
terrific rage. I had Just about reached my limit of patience with him.
and had walked away from him In an effort to regain some measure
of control over myself.
“I was standing over there at the window, oonscloua of the feel
of the sunshine pouring through the window on my face, but trying
to summon up the right words to reason with him . . . when suddenly
I was shocked to see hls reflection on the pleas In front of me . . .
he was advancing on me with that gun In hls hand! I Immediately
wheeled around and grappled with him ... I got a hold on hls gun
hand and in the ensuing struggle for possession of the gun It went
off . . . and he fell to the floor . . . dead!”
You stop over and pick up the gun with your handkerchief, noting
the smudges of fingerprint on the weapon.
“You’ll find both of our fingerprints on that, of course," mentions
Jim Layton.
“Oh, I’m sure of that,” you agree with a nod. “But I think Mel
vin Manners’ prints have been planted on the gun. You told a pretty
good story, but not quite good enough!”
What has made you suspect Jim Layton’s story?

DOM OP WORSHIP. WITNESSES
Reports have come out of Portu
gal and its overseas province of An
gola telling of violent persecution
of non-Catholic minorities, especial
ly Jehovah's Witnesses. Private
homes of Jehovah's Witnesses have
been Invaded by the police simply
because they were peacefully study
ing the Bible. Many have betel
Jelled.
The Portuguese Pbst Office has
also taken measures to supreas the
circulation of the Bible In Portugal.
Large quantities of Bibles and Bible
literature belonging to this group
have been seised and cut up and
burned, and thousands of subscrib
ers for the Watchtower and Awak
en! magazine* have been denied th*
right to receive their magazines
through the mail.
It la reported In th* May 23 issue
of Awake! that when acts of terror
ism broke out In Portuagsl s over
sees province of Angola in South
west Airies early in 1961, the Rom
an Catholic Church took a leading
hand In accusing the witnesses of
being Involved in those acts of vio
lence against Portuguese officials
there. Th 1 ■ misrepresentation
through false propaganda by the
Catholic Church in Angola stirred
up persecution In Portugal Itself
end caused the work of the wit
nesses In Portugal to be interfered
with. Members of the group were
followed by th* secret police, pick
ed up and arrested, questioned,
boston, and accused of being com
munists. Ironically, the witnesses
are banned in communist lands and
hava to carry on their work "Under
ground."
Th* latest information from Por
tugal tells of continued suppression
of religious freedom. On March 12,
when forty-five members of the
Amadors. Übson, Congregation of
Jehovah’s Witnesses were gathered
together, their assembly for wor
ship was disrupted by twelve po
licemen. The meeting was stopped,
all the women present were order
ed to go home, and the male mem
bers of the congregation were ar
rested end taken to Jell. The three
ministers who ware on the plat
form when tthe police arrived have
been detained in prison indefintely,
