It is obvious that he had with him ten thousand dollars taken from the body of Jerry Murdoek.

Without that only possible proof of his guilt he might have escaped any of the police to pin the murder upon him. "And, yet he was obviously the guilty man. The doped water affected his wife and not him; the dope was put into Mr. Forrest's caraffe the following morning, otherwise it would also havo been in the tumbler ho drank from the night before; and at that same time the automatic was placed in the travel- ing bag. It was probably during the confusion following the discovery of the murder.

The lower door was first unlatched, then passing onto the balcony from -his own room, after the drugged water had taken effect, the shot was fired and Quincy let himself down over the balcony, walked backwards carefully to the walk and. then entered the -house again. The picture of the footprints show a slur at the heel and not at the toe as is made when walking forward in snow." The motive he did not explain then for the sake of Dolores Quincy. He discussed that later with Blake and Wilfred Sands.

"You heard Quincy admit to hi wife that he knew the truth of relations with Murdoek and yet Duncan explained that the murdered man had always kept it secret Quincy found it out and took his revenge and was going to usutkennoney to enlarge the Dolores Tea Room when that anonymous note raised hob with his conscience." At 8 o'clock that Tuesday night Captaia Blake, District Attorney Wilfred Sands, and Robin Dale faced 'all those who had beea connected with the Murdoek ease. Sergeant Jardin stood at the office door, on guard. Captaia Blak gav Robin Dale the signal to speak. It had been arranged that the reporter would havo th privilege of making the announcement that' would climax with the arrest of the murderer. Gordon and Grace Stiles stood near the window; not far from-them were Diana Amberson and Bertram Forrest (ho had been brought from tho Tombs); Duncan and Rita Kane sat together; Richard Quincy stood behind his wife's chair; Erie was there with the two other servants from the Stile household.

Captain Blaka, and even tho district attorney, felt the tension as greatly as did those who had been called there that night" for neither of the officials knew what Robin Dale knew, "Sergeant Jardin, if you will call tWo officers and search everyone present you 'will find ten thousand dollars, or the greater part of that amount on tho person of the one who killed Jerry Murdoek!" There was a moment's utter silence and then a form made a leap for the door. It was a hopeless gesture for Jardin stood there and after-a moment of confusion he hui BJcaardQainey safely manacled.1 "Search him, sergeant and you'll find you have th right man.
