Poff enberger on the stand? And Gus Olesen? And the others? Why, this all makes it plain as day that Jim Haight wanted to kill Nora! He threatened her all over town! Chief Dakin was. tackled by Luigi Marino before court opened one morning when the police head came in for a quick shave. Joe Lupin listened from the next chair with both ears. "Say, Chefe!" said Luigi in great excitement. "I been lookin' all over for-a you! I just remember something hot!" "Yeah, Luigi? Once-over, and take it easy." "Las' Novemb'.

Jim-a Haight, he come in here one day for I should cut-a his hair. I say to Mist' Haight, 'Mist' Haight, I feel-a- fine. I'm-a gonna get Mist' Haight he say, who's-a the lucky gal? I say: 'Francesca Botigliano. She been workin' by Saint-a Louey, but she's-a comin' to Wrights-a-ville to be Mrs. Marino I send-a her the ticket an' expense-a mon' myself.

"So what-a does Mist' Haight say? He say: 'Luigi, nev' marry a poor gal! There ain't-a no percent-age in You see? He marry that-a gal Nora Wright for her mon'! You get-a Mist' Bradford put me on-a stand. I'll tell-a dat story!" Chief Dakin laughed. But Wrightsville did not. To the mob it seemed logical that Luigi's story should be part of the trial testimony. It would show that Haight married Nora Wright for her money.

If a man would marry a woman for her money, he'd poison her for it, too Dr. Poffenberger had actually gone to Prosecutor Bradford before the trial and offered to testify. "Why, Haight came to me last December, Cart, suffering from an abscessed wisdom tooth. I gave him gas and while he was under the influence of it, he kept saying: '111 get rid of her! I'll get rid of And then he said: 'I ifted that money for myself. I want that money for Doesn't that prove he was planning to kill her, and why?" "No," said Bradford wearily.

"Unconscious utterances. Inadmissible testimony. Go way, Emil, and let me work, will you?" The dentist was indignant. He repeated the story to as many of his patients as would listen, which was practically all of them. Gus Olesen's story reached the Prosecutor's ears by way of Patrolman Chris Dorf man, Radio Division (one car).

Chris had "happened" to drop into Gus Olesen's place for a "ooke" (he said), and Gus, "all het up," had told him what Jim Haight had once said to him, Gus, on the occasion of a "spree." "Just what is it Haight is supposed to have said, Chris?" asked Prosecutor Bradford. "Well, Gus says Jim used to drive up to the Tavern cockeyed and wanting a drink, and Gus says he'd always turn him down. Once he even called up Mrs. Haight and asked her to come down and get her husband, he was raisin' such Cain. But the thing Gus remembers that you ought to get into your trial, Mr.

Bradford, is wten one night Haight was in there he kept ravin' about wives, and marriages, and then he said: 'Nothin' to do but get rid of her, Gus. I gotta get rid of her quick or 111 go nuts.

"Highly questionable. Do you want me to lose this case on reversible error? Go back to your radio car!" So Wrightsville muttered that there was "something phony," and buzzed and buzzed and buzzed. The rumors reached Judge Ly-sander Newbold's ears. From that day on, at the end of each court session, he sternly admonished the jury not to discuss the case with anyone, not even among themselves.

It was thought that Eli Martin had something to do with calling the rumors to Judge Newbold's attention. Rumor inflamed temper began to creep into the courtroom, and it mounted and flew back and forth between the old lawyer and Prosecutor Bradford until the press began to nudge one another with wise looks and say "the ol' boy is crack ing." Thomas Winship, head cashier oi the Wrightsville National Bank, testified that James Haight had used a thin red crayon in his work at the bank. The last exhibit placed in evidence by Bradford was Edgcomb's Toxicology, with its telltale section marked in red crayon the section dealing with arsenic. This exhibit passed from hand to hand in the jury box, while Judge Martin looked "confident" and Haight, by the old lawyer's side at the defense table, grew very pale and was seen to glance about quickly, as if seeking escape. But the moment passed, and thenceforward he behaved as before silent, limp in his chair, his gray face almost bored.

At the close of Friday's session, March 28, Prosecutor Bradford indicated that he "might be close to finished," but that he would know better when court convened the following Monday morning. He thought it likely the People would rest on Monday. The prisoner was taken back to his cell on the top floor of the Courthouse, the courtroom emptied, and the Wrights went home There was nothing to do but wait for Monday and try to cheer up Nora, who lay on the chaise longue in her pretty bedroom, plucking the roses of her chintz window drapes. Hermy had refused to let her attend the trial; and after two days of tears, Nora had stopped fighting, exhausted. But another thing happened on Friday, March 28.

Roberta Roberts lost her job. The newspaper worn- I an had maintained her stubborn de- fense of Jim Haight in her column throughout the trial. On Friday Roberta received a wire from her boss notifying her that he was "yanking the column." 1 'What are you going to do now?" asked Ellery Queen. "Stay on in Wrightsville. I'm one of those who never give up.

I can still do Jim Haight some good." i Roberta spent the whole of Sat- urday morning in Jim's cell, urging him to speak up, to fight back, to i strike a blow in his own defense. I Judge Martin was there, and El- lery; they heard Roberta's vigor- ous plea in silence. i But Jim merely shook his head, or made no answering gesture at all I a figure bowed, three-quarters dead (To be continued) Cotirrliht by Brown Co. i DllUlbul! t7 Else rUlTM Sandiest.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Donald' Mackenzie, President of the Wrightsville Personal Finance Corporation, testifies that James Haight had borrowed considerable sums from the PFC during the last two months of the preceding year. Q. On what collateral, Mr. Mackenzie? A. None.

Q. Isn't this unusual foryour firm, Mr. Mackenzie? A. Well, the PFC has a very liberal loan policy, but of course we usually ask for collateral. Just business, you understand.

Only, since Mr. Haight was Vice-President of the Wrightsville National Bank and the son-in-law of John Fowler Wright, the company made an exception in his case and advanced the loans on signature only. Q. Has the defendant made any payments against his indebtedness? A. Well, no.

Q. Has your company made any effort to collect the moneys due? A. Well, yes. Not that we were worried, but well, it was five thousand dollars, and after asking Mr. Haight several times to make his stipulated payments and getting no satisfaction, we finally went to the bank to see Mr.

Wright, Mr. Haight's father-in-law, and explained the situation. Mr. Wright said he hadn't known about his son-in-law's loan but of course he'd make it good himself, and I wasn't to say anything about it I would have, too, only this trial and all Q. Did John F.

Wright repay your company th6 loan in full? A. Yes, sir. Q. Has the "defendant borrowed any money since January the first of this year? A. No, sir.

Q. Have you had any conversations with the defendant since Jan-nary the first of thii year? A. Yes. Mr. came in to see me in the middle of January and started to explain why he hadn't paid anything on his loan said he'd made some bad investments asked for more time and said he'd surely pay back his debt.

I said to him that his ather-in-law'd already done that. Q. What did the defendant say to that? A. He didn't say a word. He just walked out of my office.

Judge Martin cross-examines: Q. Mr. Mckenzie, didn't it strike you as strange that the vice-presi dent of a banking institution like the Wrightsville National Bank, and the son-in-law of the President of that bank, should come to you for a loan? A. Well, I figured it was a confidential matter, you see Q. In a confidential matter, without explanations or collateral, on a mere signature, you still advanced the sum of five thousand dollars? i A.

Well, I knew John F. would make good if Eli Martin: That's all, Mr. Mac-kenzie. Not all the evidence against Jim Haight came out in the courtroom. Some of it came out in Vic Car- latti's, some in the Hollis Hotel Ton-, sorial Parlor, some in Dr.

Emil Pof- fenberger's dental office in the Up- ham Block, some in Gus Olesen'a Roadside Tavern And when it was all put together, Wrightsville began to say: Now there's something funny going on.
