"Now, Mr. Dawson, I shoatd like to hare a brief summary of the eltuatlon at your meeting here today. At what time did It begin, what developed and who are the parties invotvedV* •T am the master," Mr.- Daw son explained, *T listen to both sides of the case and recommend my decision to the court. I was appointed by Judge Finley." Ranklu was sufficiently famil iar with the peculiar divorce law of his sUte to comprehend. In Pennsylvania, the proceed ings were generally private, In stead of being held in open court before a judge and jury. Some members of the bar, call ed a “master,” was assigned by a justice to listen to the tacts ot the complaint, and present his findings to him; the court us ually followed his recommenda tion, whether for or against the granting of the divorce. “Who is suing?” was Rank in’s ne^ question. “Is the hus band the plaintiff?” “No, the wife, Mrs. Adele Rowland, brought the libel in this Instance. Mr. Allen Row land, is termed the respondent. Mrs. Rowland asks a divorce a vinculum matrlmonium, that is, from the bonds of matrimony. And she Is represented by her brother, Harvey Willard of Wil lard and Hanley.” The detective nodded to indi cate some familiarity with the names mentioned. "Mrs. Allen Rowland, eh? On what grounds does she demand the separation?’’ "Adultery, Mr. Rankin," the lawyer answered. “She accuses him—and, I must admit, has thoroughly established her claim —of an intrigue with Miss Jill Edmond, the correspondent. Miss Edmond was recently Mrs. Rowland’s social secretary.’’ Rankin mentally noted that by its very nature this particu lar suit for divorce might vio late public good taste and must b e contested behiud closed doors. He recalled having read in the newspapers when Mrs. Row land first Instituted suit. For the former Adele Willard was a member of a socially prominent Philadelphia family and her wealth and beauty made her marital adventures the subject of press comment and headlines. She was the daughter ot the late Peter Willard, who years before had accumulated a fortune in real estate. At his death, she ard her brother inherited an estate ot well over a million dol lars. Once before, she had mar ried—Tom Marshall, a clubman, whose ea.-ly death in a motor accident added to her fortune. The papers, the detective re membered, described her suit as a “love match on the rocks.” Es pecially was gossip rife and the public interested, because her second husband, Allen Rowland, was totally without social prest ige or distinction or money. In fact, he had been a riding mast er or some similar romantic underling when Mrs. Marshall, as a gay young widow, scanda lized society by suddenly eloping with him about four and a half years before. “I saw a reference to Mrs. Rowland’s suit in the papers, Mr. Dawson. But that was early in April: have you been holding meetings ever since?” “Practically," the lawyer re turned. “That, since April twen ty-sixth. This is the sixth hear ing: they have continued every Wednesday, except last week, NOTICE Which ■ sns skliiilefi to permit the reepondent to petition the court for leave fo Introduee un expected new evidence at the session against the granting a dlvoros;’* The detective frowned, not comprehending. "Vnesjpectwd, treeh evidasoe. Exactly what do you mean? What was Mr. Row* land’s evldenee before that? "He offored no defenee what ever, Mir. Rankin, Up to two weeks ago. he was represented at the hearings and attended himself, but mode no attempt to contest the suit. And then, on Thursday, May twenty-fifth, the day following our last meeting, his lawyer, Mr. Trumbull, noti fied Mr. Willard that he Intend ed to enter a positive defense to bar the suit. He claimed It was based on newly discovered events, which had just occurred, and so could not have been pre sented earlier." “And the nature of this de fense?" Rankin inquired quick ly- “As I understand, also adul tery,’’ Mr. Dawson related. “Of course, since this tragedy pre vented the Introduction of tes timony, I don’t know the de tails. But In effect, Mr. Rowland offered to prhve, through Mrs. Keith, that since h 1 s wife brought action she has had the same sort of Illicit relations— with some one he doesn’t name —as those of which she accuses him.” Mr. Simpkins cleared h 1 s however," he Interposed hesi tantly, “that Mrs. Rowland’s . . . ahem . . . alleged paramour was subpoenaed to be her© today.’’ The detective’s frown deepen ed. creasing his forehead with furrowed lines. “Would such an answer, if true, bar Mrs. Rowland’s suit?’’ he asked. “Would it effectively prevent the granting of a de cree, according to law?” “Yes, altogether." The lawyer smiled at his perplexity. “I rea lize how absurd it sounds that, when both parties have been un faithful and no longer love each other they shouldn’t be allowed to separate, but the legal theory of the law is that the state is al so an interested party in every marriage. It does not favor di vorces and grants them only as a privilege, when the p.'irties de serve one. The one seeking it must come into court with clean hands; his or her conjugal con duct must be exemplary and without any offense like that complained of.” “Then Mrs. Keith was a very important witness for Mr. Row land, wasn’t she?" “Undoubtedly, if she really could establish, as he claimed, the guilty relations of his wife and her lover. Especially, I be lieve, as he is the only other witness, and his testimony is likely to be biased. But with hers, I should certainly have ad vised th© court that Mrs. Row land be refused a decree." “Well, what can you tell me about Mrs'. Keith? Wlho is she, Mr. Dawson? How is she con nected with the parties in the case?" By virtue of an execution to me directed from the superior court ot Wilkes county in a cer tain action entitled Wilkcsboro Motor Co. against S. M. Estep et al, commaodlng me to levy upon the property of Pearl Davis to satisfy said execution and levy having been made by me on the following property as prescribed by law, I will, on Monday, the 1st day of July, 1936, at 2 o’clock p. m. at the courthouse door in Wllkesboro, N.

"How is it Mrs. Keith waited in her© for her summons? Don’t your vieltore usually remain be yond the rail in the outside of fice until called?” Mr.’ Dawson nodded. “Yes, it’s the phone operator’s place to inquire into their businesB and hav© them take seats there. But that applies ordinarily onl^ to strangers. Since these hear ings, Mr. Trnmbull has had free access to the library: be ma;)' have had some reason tor briil^ ing her here.” “I’ll hav© to question him o- bout it,” Rankin remarked and turned to the doctor. “Have you moved the body. Dr. Clark, or did It He this way when you ar rived?" « "I did not disturb It for my examination,’’ the physician an swered. The detective Indicated the door to 1505, that led Into the corridor. “Then If she was killed here, and that door is locked, ft sim plifies matters. At least. It lim its the criminal to some one ar riving through flfteen-o-eeven and to employees and members of the firm." “That door is never used and is always bolted, Mr. Rankin,’’ Mr. Dawson stated. “It requires a separate key from the other two entrances. Without a key, no one could possibly open it from the ball.” “Unless It was already un latched from the Inside," Ran kin contradicted. Halfway to the door, h© paus ed to draw a handkerchief from his pocket. Careful not to grasp the knob, he wrapped the hand kerchief gingerly about the stem and exerted pressure. It turned and the door opened.

I came direct from court this afternoon to the hir ing, and didn’t see her until Mr. Trumbull summoned us into that office." “Ml^. gsowland appears to have been acquainted with her,” the clerk again spoke up, “and most unfriendly.” Rankin turned quickly to Mr. Dawson. “Is that so? What rea son did h© give?" “He stated that some antag onism existed between them," Mr. Dawson explained, “which he feared would prejudice her against his sister. He suggested that she might evade the actual truth. Mr. Trumbull’s answer to that was that she was a promi nent member of Philadelphia so ciety and could be trusted.” “But you’ve no idea what the trouble was—why they were at odds?" [The lawyer replied negative ly, and a few more shrewd ques tions speedily showed Rankin that he could add no further pertinent facts at the .moment. On concluding his Interroga tion on these points, the detec tive turned to the coiAmunlea- ting entrance. “I suppose I can obtain from the others all the information about her I need,’’ he said, “but that will have to wait now. I think, b^ore I go any further. I’ll take a look at-the body." Hardly knowing what to ai>» ticipate In the adjoining room, he was both shocked and sur prised at the youth and beauty of the victim.
