THE SHREVEPORT JOURNAL The Deductions of Harvey Hunt By Philip Francis Nowlan XXXVI1. Harvey Hunt expected to show, by chemical analysis, that the cigar Mellory had given the janitor, in the case of "One Cigar Stump," had been drugged. At some time while the janitor was asleep in the early evening Mellory evidently had set the clock back one hour, when he returned to the Galconia apartments at 1 o'clock, after committing the crime at midnight, the clock would furnish him with the alibi. He stopped to chat with janitor in order to call his indirectly to the time, and also to give him the cigar to make sure that he would sleep soundly enough to permit him to return and set the clock back right time. Harvey Hunt, realizing the entire alibi depended on that clock, had been struck by three things the janitor told him; first that Mellory called attention to it; second, that the janitor, contrary to his custom, got hungry apparently an hour earlier than usual, and third, that the fires were nearly burned out, indicating that it must have been time for the janitor to look at them, al though he thought he was doing so ahead of time.

It was on the evidence of the was broken down, circumdrugged that Mellory's, alibi cigar, stantial evidence already against him resulted in conviction. Can you read the six clues in the case ofSEVENTEEN HAMMER BLOWS. "One of the most brutal and bizarre murders that ever occurred in the metropolitan district," said Har. vey Hunt, the criminal investigator, in reply to a question from his friend DeKyne, "was that of Mrs. Waddicomb, at Brayton Beach.

"The woman's skull had been beaten in with an ordinary hammer, the head of which had been wrapped in cloth, and the handle tied up in a newspaper. They found the hammer afterward in the furnace, with the rag and the paper only partially burned away. "The alarm came from the telephone operator, who reported to police headquarters that the receiver had been knocked from the phone in the summer cottage of Prof. Waddicomb, which was supposed to have been unoccupied, and that a man's voice called for help. "A motor with a squad of policemen was rushed out to the house, which was rather separated from the rest of the houses in the colony, and surrounded by many trees and a rather extensive garden.

They met the professor, a rather feeble man about 65 years old, running down the road toward them, waving his arms and shrieking "Rushing into the house, they found dining room in disorder. Dust covered the tables and other furniture in an unbroken film, the accumulation of the several months since the Waddicombs had. moved into the city. But a case of champagne had been brought up out of the cellar, and the broken bottles were scattered all over the carpet, which had been fairly drenched with their contents. "Out in the garden they found Mrs.

Waddicomb's body. She must have been hit on the head at least 17 times before the life bad been hammered out of her, the surgeon testified. Her hair was in wild, disarray. Not a hairpin had been of them were scattered about on the ground around her. the, later search which revealed the hammer in the furnace the detectives also found buried in another part of the garden Prof.

Waddicomb's watch and money, together with several rings and articles of jewelry belonging to his wife. "This was the story as the tor told it when they finally got him to cease moaning and wringing his hands long enough to do it: "He and his wife had come down to Brayton Beach to spend the weekend. Just before they entered he thought he saw some one moving about inside, but his wife laughed at his suspicions, and they entered. As he the scene in the dining room, he said, he stood for a moment amazed and startled. Then his wife, who was behind him in the hall screamed, but as he swung around be was attacked by two huge men who had rushed out of the door Many a Pretty Face Spoiled by Pimples; Don't close your eyes to the warn-, ing which nature gives.
