YOU ARE THE DETECTIVE
You gaze at the body of Harry Freeman lying on the table
In the emergency ward of the hospital, and you see the biuiet
wound In Freeman’s right temple which has ended his life.
Out In the corridor a few minutes later you talk with the
dead man’s business partner, Tom Danner. "It all happened
so suddenly ... a tragic end to the life of a fine man, and the
best friend I’ve ever had!*' exclaims Danner. "I just can’t
believe. .
"Suppose you tell me just how it happened,” you break in.
' "Well, Harry and I had been out together tonight, attend
ing the sports banquet at the Palace Hotel. He was driving
me home at about 11 o’clock, when we stopped on Maple Street
where It enters tne Central Expressway. It’s very dark
there, as you probably know. And suddenly a man appeared
on Harry’s side of the car ... he had a gun. I could see that,
but I couldn’t make out what he looked like, with his hat
pulled down low over his face and it being so dark. He demand
ed that we hand over ail our cash. I started to reacn tor my
wallet - but Harry’s hand darted for the glove compartment
in his car where I happen to know he keeps a gun. Then there
was the sickening sound of the shot, and Harry slumped over...
and I heard the killer running away!
"I was too shocked to move for several minutes, but finally
I scrambled out of the car, ran around it, moved Harry over
on the seat, and drove as fast asl could to the hospital here ...
but I was much too late. Poor Harry was dead!”
"What business were you and your partner in?” you ask.
"Real estate management - 'Freeman & Danner’ -- and
we’ve been doing real well, too.”
"Do you carry insurance?”
"Oh sure ... Henry and I both carried good-sized policies
on each other's lives, and ...” Danner suddenly stops and
looks hard at you. "Just what.are driving at? Are you
implying. , .?”
"Yes, lam implying,” you break in. "Your partner’s
murder did not take place as you described it!”
What leads you to suspect Tom Danner of the murder?
SOLUTION
The bullet wound was in the victim's RIGHT temple. If
the killer had been standing at the window of the car on Harry
Freeman’s side, *he would have been at the LEFT of the vic

cotton plantations In Sunflower
County. “The willingness of
the sth Circuit Court, which in
cludes most of the Deep South,
to set aside elections from
which Negro Americans have
been excluded will greatly
strengthen the effectiveness of
the Voting Rights Act.”
Conyers emphasized that the
Court’s order also called for
new elections making It “an
absolute must for a federal
voting registrar to be sent to
Sunflower County. If the next
election Is to include the bal
lots of all voting age persons in
Sunflower, the Justice Depart
ment must step in so that all
Negro Americans can lie regis
tered before the new elections
are held. The registrar is
needed for the entire county
since there is a great possibi
lity that five other elections
will be set aside as a result
of this historic decision.’'
