WelL good iucx, again, and good-by." ue had reached the door when Peter said: "Waft a minute." Barry waited. "How long have you known?" "That you killed Mike Kelly?" Barry asked. "Since last Thurs day. I waa on the train coming In from Southampton, and I'd Juat read of Moreno's death. 'One of my suspects waa guilty," I thought Peter Wlnslow can't laugh that off." He waa back In the room now. "I remembered," he went on, "how you did laugh when I suggested Mo reno. And how sure you were that I was wrong abont every one else. But you never said anything that migbt've started me on the right track. On the contrary, when I aaked you if there waa a Mrs. Kelly, you answered, 'Yes. She sued for divorce recently and with drew the case.' You'd Just read that in the Herald Tribune, and the same sentence revealed that at the time of the murder, Mrs. Kelly was in Harlem. But you didn't men tion that Why? Only one explanation explana-tion occurred to me, and that was your willingness to keep me on the trail of some one who couldnt pos sibly be convicted." Barry aat down again, the other side of the desk. "Go on;" Peter urged "I'm very much Interested." He waa sitting, too, now. "My Interest" he continued. Is strangely Impersonal Almost wholly professional I think it Is. That's very curious, rm Just a criminal lawyer Interested In a crime." Hla weariness explained that Barry thought As Hsmbldge had been, and Morano, and Barry himself him-self when talking with Ridder, Pe ter Wlnslow was "glad It'a over." As a criminal lawyer," Barry aald, "and a shrewd one, you'd be surprised to know how much you overlooked. Bits of evidence tbat fitted like a Jig-saw puzxle the moment mo-ment suspicion started anyone putting put-ting them together.1 As, for Instance?" Barry smiled. "You told me Moreno phoned yoo at one o'clock the morning of the murder 'to aay that one of hla girls waa In Jail.' and would you take the case.' But Peggy wasn't In Jail, at one o'clock. She'd been released hours before, and, Morano knew It. I knew that he did phone you. What about? Why. about Kelly's visit to (he Cocoanut Barr of course, and! the threat of something In his pocket that waa not .only, a menace to Morano ' but Kelly's hold over Judge Hsmbldge. A paper every one seemed to want, and that had disappeared when ' the body was found. - "What had that paper to do with you? If thla were a dptectlve story. and you read it you'd find twenty He leaned forward across the .desk. "I couldnt see any link between the two. And then I remembered that Pat's mother was your wire's slater. Pat told me her mother wua 'brought up In a little town culled Warrenton.' That meant your wife came from Warrenton, too. And Morano had told me he came from Fauquier county. I went to my atlaa. Warrenton'a In Fauquier county. coun-ty. There used to be a military school there. Mrs. Wlnslow ran away with her first husband while he was a cadet in a military school." Peter leaned forward, too. "And Morano" be began tensely. "I dont know Whether Moranu went to a military school or nut. "But George Selby did. "Morano and George Selby were the same man, werent they?" "Yes, the same," Peter said. "I waa sure of It" Barry re sumed. "The papers reported that Selby was drowned In Pblliidel-phla. Pblliidel-phla. But the body they Identified bad been In the water two weeks. Fresh water. So that Identification didn't amount to much. Violet Fane m 'ink h , mini Hi Pat said she waa going to pro-answers to that question. Judge poae to you," be amlled. "Meant It too; we knew that Womn funny.- Snooted yon while things were going right, didn't alien rrj laughed, - - --f 1 Uambldge sola e couldn't tell the truth because of a woman. Pat aald the woman was her dead mother. And plainly, that bad something to do with Morano." "I Doped That Out, Too." had told me Morano bought the house down town because he was 'married onct,' and be and his wife lived there. The sob-story I dug out of the tabloids said Selby was "blissfully happy' with hla bride In house he'd rented down. town. Obviously, the same house. Senti mental? Yes, but Morano was a sentimental cuss. .So sentimental that he might hare dleixather than have it discovered that; your wife was really bis wife." Barry saw Peter wince, but went on. - ; inrj.T 'Of course, he had another rea son for resisting arrest that "hot spot'- with which Kelly threatened him. If Morano had been arrested, and finger-printed, they'd're learned that be waa George Selby, and wanted for murder. Morano made certain of that Tbe 2:12 train he caught at the Penn station went to Philadelphia. Thafa where he was all the next day checking tip on the finger-prints taken when Selby was sent to the State penitentiary. and, perhaps, trying, through under ground channels, to have them removed re-moved from the flies. I had the motive for the murder now. "Kelly knew Morano was Selby, and ao .that your wife was technically tech-nically a bigamist That waa the threat he held over Morano, and Judge Hambldge. The threat that persuaded the Judge to write a 'crooked decision.' The paper Kelly Kel-ly had In hla pocket was a marriage certificate, or something of the sort, In an old trunk," Peter aald; In the house be bought at 24 Jefferson street" Barry nodded. "I doped that out too. Both Mo rano and Hambldge bad plenty of reason to kill Kelly. "But neither had as mucb reason as you had. If you knew of the existence of tbat paper. "And you did, didn't you? That'a where Morano's telephone message came In. That's why he called you up from the Cocoanut Bar. To tell you he'd seen the paper, and Kelly had it" "Right" Wlnslow aald, simply. "My inquiry was narrowing down to you and Morano. But how did either of you get in to Kelly? And then I remembered that, the day first saw Mrs, Kelly, she came Into tbat house snd left her key In the door. I did the same thing this week. Anybody might Especially drunken man. ... That would ex plain why the key wasn't "on Kelly's body. It would explain how our third caller entered while Kelly waa talking to Judge Hambldge." 'Right Wlnslow repeated. 'Was the third caller you or Morano? And then I remembered two things. Morano took the 2:12 to Philadelphia to check on those finger-prints. He wouldn't've done that If he'd known Kelly whs dead. The house waa dsrk and silent when Morano got to Sixteenth street He thought Kelly'd'gone to bed, and so he went to I'bllndelphla. I waa sure of that. And I was aure that the man who killed Kelly wore gloves. (10 BE CONTINUED) , Aa Old Belief To haw a crow riy. over the house la sign of death.
