Perhaps that's why I'm so careful about the cases I take. If I think there's a chance, I go ahead, if I don't, I can't." "Do you think there's a chance for Jennifer?" Kent's hands shook as he asked the question. "I don't know. I won't know until I see her. I wanted to see you first, before I saw her." "Then you will see her?" Eagerly.

"Yes, I'm going to the women's Jail right away and have a talk with her." Couldn't See Much "Could I go with you?" Kent had forgotten the fatigue he felt when he drove into Los Angeles the long hard ride that he had made speeding with the train. "No, I want to see her alone. You go to your hotel and get some sleep. You look dead tired. Where can I find you after I've teen Miss Hale?" Kent looked bewildered.

He hadn't any hotel yet. As soon as he reached the city, he had gone right to the station to see Jennifer get off. Packed far back of the crowds, dusty from the drive, he had seen the tip of her blue hat as she came down the steps of the car. Then the bulk of husky detectives had swallowed her up, 'and he couldn't see anything but the milling, curious people, pushing forward. Sick at heart, he had gone back to his car, and in half an hour was gun, and when the fingerprints were dusted, they were found 'O be the same as the prints which the police had taken from objects in the bedroom which was Jennifer's at her aunt's home.

Miss Hale seldom entered Jennifer's room, so there was every reason to believe that the fingerprints were Jennifer's.

The fingerprints of Jennifer Hale are on that gun, superimposed on other fingerprints made by David Corey.

I believe her, and I want you 10 believe her, too." "I've defended too many criminals, too many murderers to believe their stories, Severn." With that Haller carefully scraped the old tobacco from his pipe. When he spoke again, it was in the same dispassionate way. "When I got your wire from Seattle, I was interested, of course.

"I'll let the office know my hotel," he answered quietly.

"And you'll tell her when you see her that I love her?" "I'll tell her." Haller sat quite still for perhaps five minutes after Severn had left his office. He was thinking about the case.

He and Sherman went into the apartment next door all the tenants were up by now and asked to use the phone Two witnesses have described his conversation to Jennifer, Sherman who heard it, and the woman tenant whose phone he used.

He simply told Jennifer that Corey was dead murdered, and that the police suspected she had something to do with It, that he was calling her so that she could be prepared before detectives came to question her. That was all. Sim-pie enough, isn't it? "Ives told the police later, that he didn't realiie what he had done was wrong. That he was doing it for a friend. "Two detectives went to the home of Cornelia Hale, and when they rang the bell, she answered the door herself in her bathrobe and night slippers.

Yes, her niece was at home, she had been home since 10. She woud go and call her. But when Miss Cornelia went to Jennifer's room, it was empty. The detectives entered a moment later, and found evidence of flight, a hasty cleaning nut of necessary things although most of Jennifer's clothes were still in the closet. The window was open, slid the screen unlocked.

Jennifer had gone out the window, taking with her an old black dressing case, wearing a yellow Jersey dress and a brown beret. Miss Cornelia mentioned a phone call that had come 10 minutes before. Jennifer answered It, just as Miss Cornelia was getting out of bed to do it. Immediately after, Jennifer had gone back to her own room, and Miss Cornelia had heard nothing more. In fact she had been almost asleep' again when the detectives came.

In Her Favor "But this wasn't all Miss Hale said when the detectives told her what they had come for. She told the two detectives that her niece was ungrateful, unappreciative and entirely lacking in morals. "That she didn't doubt but that Jennifer had killed David Corey. And that from now on, Jennifer was no longer relative, no longer a niece of hers. Not a pleasant person, Miss Cornelia, not at all pleasant.

When her identity Is discovered by Seattle rH-vate detective, Jennifer is rushed bark to Los Angeles for trial. Kent defies his wealthy family and drives to Los Angeles to hire an attorney to defend the girl he loves. The famous criminal lawyer, NEIL HALLER, warns Kent that the state has a fool-proof case against Jennifer. She had met Corey through PAKKER IVES, and had known him for about four months.

On the night of his murder she dined with him, and they were observed quarreling at Hugo's, and later in Corey's apartment an elevator boy heard them talking angrily when he delivered a telegram. About 1.1 minutes later the night porter saw the girl leaving the building by the servants' entrance. BEN SHERMAN and Parker Ives decided at about 11 o'clock to visit Corey, but their phone call to his apartment got no answer. CHAPTER 25 THE phone rang, and while Hal-ler was answering it. Kent walked nervously to the window and looked down.

In the few days since he had known that Mary Dixon was Jennifer Hale, he had aged There were fine lines around his ejes which had never been there before, broader ones spreading from his nostrils to his strong mouth. Haller looked at him silently for a moment after he had put back the phone. His face softened as he continued his recital of the case the state of California would present against Jennifer Hale. "I was telling you that Sherman and Ives became worried, also the night manager of Moore House, Mantle. It was Mantle's suggestion that they go upstairs and try Corey's bell again.

They did, and became more worried for tiiere was not a sound in the apartment. Mantle assured both the men. whom he knew as Corey's friends, that Corey hated steps, and had never used them at the Moore House, even during the earthquake. Ives agreed with him, and so did Sherman. Corey must still be in the apartment.

His car was on the street in front of the hotel. "At 11:30, Mantle decided to use his pass keys to get Into the apartment. He did, and all three of them saw at the same time Corey lying on the floor, a bullet hole in his back. Mantle was the first to get to the body. He thought Corey was dead, so he didn touch him.

The blood that had seeped from his body to the rug was congealed There was no gun near the body. The house doctor was summoned and at 11:35 Corey was pronounced get PILE-FOB at Peoples Service Drug Stores and other good druggists for guaranteed results. position.

ISLIP, N. Sept. 25. (AP) A week's vacation ended in jail today for Patrick Downey, 31. State hospital carpenter, charged with the assault and strangling of Rita Laz-zari, 7.

Downey, himself the father of two small children, confessed to the crime, State Police Lieutenant John Gaffney said, telling officers it was the climax to a vacation "spree." A menacing throng of aroused citizens caused the authorities to rush Downey to Riverhead last night, where he waived arraignment. He was held without bail for the grand jury today, and a speedy prosecution is planned. The slain child disappeared Sunday, and after an all-night search, her undergarments were found yesterday in the woods near Commack on which stood a disabled car. State troopers concealed themselves in the brush, and a few hours later seized Downey as he came to recover the automobile. Even after signing the confession, Lieutenant Gaffney said, Downey professed not to know where he left the child, and it was not until late yesterday that the body was found.
