Robinson sprang to his feet "As attorney for the French family, I object. This is supposed to be an inquest to determine the cause of Miss French's death." Fenelon shrugged his shoulders.

"We're trying to get at the cause. Miss Franklin, I repeat, when did you first see Marie de Favrille?" "In Janice French's apartment at 45 East 70th street." "What was the date?" "February 17." "See anybody else there?" "Yes, Nick Hart." "I believe you were the one who identified Miss French's body here at the Morgue?" "Yes, I did." "On what date?" "Shortly after midnight on the morning of February 18." Jim Chase was called next, then Mike, the cop. After this, Mrs. Meadows was asked by Fenelon to tell when she had last seen Janice French. Mrs.

Meadows looked defiantly at the Duke. "Mrs. Thompson," Fenelon remarked. "I hope your memory will not fail you. Did you see Miss French at Mr.

Martin's night club that evening?" "I did, sir." Tuckie's voice squeaked in its eagerness. "Do you deny the statements of these two women, Martin?" "No, Commissioner." Fenelon scrawled a note to the medical examiner. "Give the cause as drowning and call the case closed." "Death by drowning," announced the medical examiner. "I'm satisfied to dismiss the case." Mary was puzzled. "What did you stop for, Commissioner?" she asked as they were walking out BY HELEN WORDEN Testeraayi Mary Franklin meets the Dnke, Clem and Jack ictaralns from Chinatown.

"It's an adventure," she chirped "like slumming or something Her voice trailed off aimlessly Thomas Robinson walked in. He bowed slightly as he saw Tuckie, then shook hands gravely with Mary.

"You're a good reporter, Miss Franklin. I recall your interest in Miss French at the Dove, when Jim Shirley and I asked you to join us. You must have sensed this tragedy." "The story has just begun," Mary said. Mike, the policeman, lumbered in, his heavy shoes creaking selfconsciously. After him came Marie, Janice's maid, then Mrs.

Meadows, and Jim Chase, the detective. Dr. Morris, the medical examiner, hurried in last. He bowed to the group clustered about his desk, sat down, thumbed a few papers and adjusted his pince nez glasses. "This will be a very informal hearing," he began.

Mr. Robinson, the French family lawyer, has just been telling us that Miss Janice inherited an income of $20,000 a year from her grandfather when she was 18." "Was she living with her parents at the time, Mr. Robinson?" asked Fenelon. "She was living with her parents at the time, sir." "That is all, thank you, Robinson.

Will you tell us, Mrs. Thompson, when you first introduced Mr. Martin to Miss French?" Tuckie glanced at the Duke She feared Fenelon but she feared Martin more. "I don't remember when she met Mr. Martin.

Maybe he introduced her to me. No, that couldn't have been. Oh dear Her handi fluttered. "Will I go to jail if can't recall?" Laughter rippled through the office. "Quiet!" ordered the medical examiner.

"We'll give you time tc refresh your memory." "While we're waiting for Mrs. Thompson to remember we'll call on Mr. Martin," said the commissioner. "Can you tell us when you first met Miss French, Mr. Martin?" jk fFHE Duke didn't flicker an eye lash.

"Sorry, sir, I don't recollect. Miss French was just one ol many women who come to mj night club." "But you did know her?" I knew her. She liked the Dove." Fenelon didn't insist. "We will return to Mr. Martin later, Dr.

"Did you ever hear oi Janice French?" "She was a student in my school from the time she was eight until she was seventeen." Mary and the other reporters scribbled furiously. "Thank you, Mrs.

Draper. I believe that is all." Dr. Morris eyed the French lawyer. "I understand you represent the family, Mr. Robinson.

Was Miss French dependent upon her parents foi financial support?" "Not after her 18th birthday." "Did they settle an income upon her?" "No. She inherited $20,000 a year from her paternal grand" father." rPHE door opened abruptly and A Duke Martin and Nick entered, followed by Police Commissioner Fenelon. Martin settled in his place with a sullen grimace as Fenelon drew up a chair next to the medical examiner. Nick sidled back to Martin. "May I interrupt, Dr.

Morris?" the commissioner asked. Since you're conducting an informal investigation I though I might bring in a witness who may clear up some small details." He waved a hand in the direction of the Duke "Allow me to introduce Mr. Martin." Dr. Morris rose and shook hands UKtllltbl MONDAY, MAY 29. 1939.

That is a program for which we all can work, and it contrasts with countries where they try to produce a new social order by red revolution, or by tho suppression of the free press and individual freedom. If the new social order is obtained, it will come because people "love their neighbors and are willing to co operate with them in peaceful effort for the common good.
