NORMA MENOPmCIKS READ THIS FIRST: Donald Reeves, young instructor, is found shot to death in his office on the campus of Center City uni versity. Inspector Lee, working on the case with his friend, Timothy Blade, newspaper reporter and fre quent co-worker, discovers that the pun that was beside the body, found by the janitor, has disappeared. The police find an attic room that shows tig ns of inhabitance on the third floor of the English House, scene of Wke crime. After interviewing Alrs. Jfceeves, the dead man’s widow who insists her husband committed sui cide, Lee examines other members of she English staff including Dr. Wil son, department head; Dr. Hender son, Walker, Jamieson, Aliss Turner and Miss Edwards. Lee and Blade go over the case at a nearby restaurant. ' (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) ; ! ■ - ■' -1 CHAPTER 13 “HE DOESN’T look like a murder- i *r. inspector.” Tim’s voice was re- | hictant. i “T know he doesn't. But I recall someone who told me this morning that Mrs. Reeves was the kind of a woman a man would do a hell of a lot for if he loved her.” Lee’s eyes twinkled shrewdly. “I said 'if she loved him.’ But let it go. You may be right of course.” "But you don’t think so. All right. Let’s get on—we’ll come back to it later. Personally, I’d rather it was Walker. There’s a guy I don’t like ” “His students wouldn’t agree with you. He’s one of the most popular teachers on the campus. And a good one. too.” "I still don’t like him.” "O. K. Down for future considera tion.” Tim grinned. "What did the coroner say besides giving you the devil for permitting the murder to fee committed?” "Holmes says the bullet entered the heart and death was almost Instan taneous. Time —eight to twelve hours, which means between eight and twelve o'clock the night before. The shot entered from above at an angle. He might have been shot While he sat in the chair.” “But he was shot from the front •nd no one could get behind his desk to shoot him as he sat there. There’s no room,” objected Tim. "It’s a swivel chair, you remember. Maybe someone came in that Reeves knew and he just swung around to talk to him.” "And the newcomer killed him in stead of talking?” Lee nodded. “Maybe so. but I honestly can’t believe that a man could walk into a room with a gun in his hands or his pocket, intending to murder me with out my realizing that something was wrong.. Os course he might have just opened the door and fired as soon as Reeves turned around.” The inspector shook his head. “No. For two reasons. The shot entered fnom above so he must have been standing over him. And it was fired only a foot or two away.” "Powder burns?” asked Tim. "Yah. we can’t find anyone who keard the shot. Os course there’s nothing on the street except univer sity buildings and a couple of fra ternity houses up at the farther end. And the university buildings are deserted at night except for the night watchman. We talked to him but he was over In the buildings across the street and never heard or saw anything.” "What about the boys at the fra ternity house?" “They didn t hear a thing. That’s not surprising, you know. One shot from a thirty-two wouldn’t make so much noise. First of all we’ve got to find the gun.” Tim nodded his head encouragingly. labor officials new duties and aims by its declaration that workers have legal right- to collective bargaining and naming represen tatives of their own choosing. Unionization under the New Deal lif! 1 | Her voice dropped almost to a whisper. “I think we’ll find It," he said, pick ingr up his check. They walked toward the door, paid their bills and started across the street to the station. “Did you notice Jamieson’s alibi for this morning?” asked Lee. “He could have done just what you suggested. Got into the washroom while Dan went for Callaghan, and gone on through that closed door to Reeves’ office, picked up the gun, and got out again while Dan and Callaghan were in the front office phoning. vCe talked to the waitress in the restaurant where he ate. She says he came in between twenty and twenty-five minutes to eight. He says he walked but if he'd taken the street car instead, he could just about have made it, stopping at the English House first to pick up the gun.” “If he had a key to the door,” amended Tim. “When I suggested that this morning, I said 1 couldn't see why the murderer hadn’t taken the gun last night if he wanted It 1 still don’t see it.” “Maybe not,” agreed Lee. as they W’alked up the broad stone steps to the police station entrance. “But if his fingerprints are on the washroom side of that doorknob will you con sider the idea?” “Why? Are they?” “I don’t know, yet. Cassidy said he’d have his report ready when we came back from lunch.” They took the elevator to the de tective bureau and turned down the short corridor which led to Inspector Lee’s private office. The surf hadn’t yet struck the western windows and it was cooler in the office. Lee took off his hat. unbottoned his coat and settled back comfortably in the swivel chair be fore his desk. Tim pulled up an other chair and was spreading out the witnesses’ statements on the desk before them when someone knocked at the door. One of the plainclothes men entered. “A woman out here In the bureau waiting to see you. inspector. Came in just after you started for lunch. Says it’s something about this uni versity shooting.” “What’s she like Moore?” asked Ij6€« The detective shook his head. “Not has been pushed to an all-time peak, with the American Federa tion of Labor constantly growing though it has been assailed fre quently for its “conservative” attitude. much, inspector. She’s maybe »,bout fifty and a regular hatchet-face.” That wouldn’t be either the Turner girl or Mrs. Reeves, thought Lee. “Bring her in.” As the woman bustled ie, Tim. snatching up a newspaper, offered her his chair. He retired to a win dow where he could bear out still give the newcomer the seiusatiou of a private interview. She settled herself with a firstling of her flowered crepe iSress, her hands still gripping a copy of the Sun opened to Tim’s story. “Good afternoon, officer.” she began. "I am Mrs. Greever. Mrs. Mathilda Greever. and a neighbor of Mrs. Reeves and this poor man.’’ She tapped the paper lightly. “Yes?” said Lee. He didn’t like ti-a unctuous tone in which she spoke of “this poor man.” She leaned fc. wars, resting one hand In its clean tan cotton glove on the desk. “I feel, officer, that it is every good citizen’s duty to help the police all lie or she can and I really feel that 1 have information which may help you to solve this despicable crime.” Her hard blue eyes gleamed fervently. “Thank you, Mrs. Greever,” said Lee. “The police cannot do their full duty without the help of the people and if you have any information that will help us we shall be very grate ful for it.” She looked questioningly at Tim, standing near the window with his face hidden in the paper. Lee caught the glance. “That’s quite all right, madam. He’s a sort of assistant of mine.” Tim choked a chuckle behind his paper. “The piece in this newspaper,” be gan Mrs. Greever. “says that Mrs. Reeves told you she was home alone rll evening.” She looked question ingly at the inspector and he nodded. “That’s what they told us, Mrs. Greever.” Her voice dropped almost to a whisper. “I happen to know, officer, that Mrs. Reeves left her apartment last night at about nine-thirty with a man and returned alone about twenty minutes after ten.” (TO BE CONTINUEDJ
