Why not said Anderson I mean granting granting- the brutal murder somebody must have done It It Il And presumably somebody In the house If H the stories of ot the careful locking up are true alt I 1 dont don't eliminate the possibility ot of Heaths Heath's guilt but 1 cant can't see how could he could get away afterward lie could of course courte hate haic gone away before the tha crime It If tho the cousin did It Well ehl Ill I'll go go there this tl even even- evenIng evening evening ing It f let me roe In K if not Ill I'll Insist on an Interview tomor tomor- tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow row I

commended Jack lack You You must get something Cunny As you OU say Sn that doddering coroner got nowhere ie Its Ils outrageous tho the way such cases aTe are handled by Incompetent and Ignorant officials Anderson declared By the time a clever or experienced detective can get busy on them the Important clues have been obliterated And not only that but tho bungling op operatives op- op are ale so cocksure and sufficient self self self- sufficient that they persuade the public of their own efficiency they have none nono at all That right Sam Black Dlack agreed Well Vell get busy Cunning Cunning- Cunningham ham Cunning ham Hunt down Heath It Ir you yeu youcan youcan can Get all nil the Information n you youcan youcan OU can front from the people at the bunga bunga- bungalow bungalow bungalow low and lets let's cover over the Country Club with glory by solving the thc mystery ot or the murder ol ot Myra Ira Heath Heath will vIII come back ot of his own a accord cord Anderson said to- to In Insistently And you'll find Cind clues or evidences pointing to Larry Inman as the perpetrator of ot the crime Of Ot this Is pure surmise on my part but all the evidence seems reems toIe to lie Ie In that t di- di direction di direction on Maybe Mabe Cunningham said thoughtfully Im lm not sure youre you're not right But Innocent or guilty It ought not to be bo hard to find Heath Men drop out of or sight so easily cathy Ive I've heard the depart depart- department department ment has lIas or put nut detectives on his track but Ive I've heard of no response as yet Though of course Its It's too teo soon to expect It It I dont don't know Heath aWfully well after all Do any of ot you fellows know un anythIng anything er un about hIm him 1 Shad Shady you mean 1 asked Black Yes or Yes or queer peculiar queer peculiar Ee- Ee Ec Eccentric centric Anything In fact out of the that ordinary The sort of thing a chap wouldn't tell of ot an ac- ac acquaintance ac except In such cir cir- circumstances cir circumstances as us these wo WI arc now facing It JC any ono one knows any any- anything anything any anything thing detrimental to Perry Heath HeathI I hold it hIS dut duty to to tell It I agree gre with that Anderson spoke decidedly Personally I know nothing of ot him hint but when I learned he was to be bo a rival can can- candidate candidate can candidate for lor the club presidency I 1 natural naturally looked up his record you ou hind lind It asked Cunningham eagerly Oh I dont don't mean In official tills files I just asked a few tew club members I found out nothing definitely against him and not notI I much definitely for tor him He Ho scent scent- scented scented ed to be bo rather colorless I thought Yes that's Perry said Wal- Wal Wal-ly Wal Iy hIp Forbes Good enough nil all round sort sort but nothing startling about him If JC he committed this murder its it's s 's the first exciting Incident of ot his life Ill Im I'm sure Ho He loved II a a good time he is out out-ot- and hes he's a genial chap chapI I think it was his general placidity placidity ty and good nature that made the Gardens people choose him for tor their candidate Most of ot them are arc so temperamental they are unfitted for tor such a post as prest- prest prest- prest president dent o of II a club dub Hoa welcome to the election It If hell he'll come back for tor It Sam daid
