The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-09-19, Page 2THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1935 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATg HENSALL SCHOOL FAIR U' 4 . BY MI ETON PROPPER £711 Six persons are in an inner office of the law firm of Dawson, McQuire & Locke at Philadelphia. A mas­ ter hearing in the divorce case of Rowland vs, Rowland is under way Mrs. Rowland, represented by her dawyei' brother, Mr. Willard; Mr. Rowland, the defendant, and his attorney, Mr. Trumbull; the court clerk and Mr. Dawson, the master are the six persons. There is a new development in the case. Af­ ter failing to defend himself against the charge of adultery in earlier hearings, Mr. Rowland digs up evidence and asks the court's permission to produce wit- - nesses and, resist the suit. Judge Dawson overrules the heated ob­ jection of Mr. Willard, and orders the witness brought in. Rowland’s lawyer goes to get the witness but finds her dead—chloroformed. She is Mrs. Barbara Keith, wife of a prominent Philadelphia business man. Judge Dawson phoned for the police. Detective Tommy Ran­ kin is assigned the case. He is now questioning all of the parties involved in the case. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

Somebody in these offices has fastened the catch, which means that t'he whole wtorld could have en­ tered from the outside.” It was coincident with this start­ ling discovery of the unlatched door that t'he telephone operator appear­ ed at the door from the library to announce Dr. Sackett.

W’hile John­ son was producing an insufflator and a magnifying glass from his kit for the detection of fingerprints, Rankin cautioned him: “Pay particular attention to the knobs of both doors and to the win­ dows.” The expert acquiesced with a grunt. “While they’re busy in here, we’d best continuing the investigation in the library,” Rankin suggested. 'It’s too crowded.” Accompanied by the two men, he carried Mrs. Keith’s pocketbook wit'h him in the next room. It had been on the desk before her, a fine petit- joint bag. In the the door beckoned “Here he ©aid. entire force in there andi learn what you can of their actions. I’m es­ pecially interested in finding out who came in here today—anyone at all, Whether employees or clients—1 and wjhen they did so.” Mr. Dawson shook his head. “If it’s your object to learn who opened that door of fifteen-o-five,” he ob­ served, “I read that won’t help you much. You really have no idea when it was unlocked; it might been dpre some other day, by any of a dozen callers, who recently us­ ed the library.” “Except, Mr. Dawson,” the detec­ tive countered, “that the criminal couldn’t have foreseen until today —possibly not until Mrs. Keith ar­ rived—that she would be in there, waiting alone. Do you recall the la©t time you noticed the latch on?” "I haven’t had occasion to try ft for weeks; in fact, I haven’t been using t'he office at all for longer than that. I’m only certain it was not opened by my key." Rankin shrugged and spread his arms in a brief, comprehensive ges­ ture. He continued hi© instructions to Jenks. “See if any of t'he staff re­ members finding the door locked more recently than Mr. Dawson does.” “O. K., Tommy,” Jenks promised Rankin drew out his watch and nodded towards the library window and the towering structure visible across the street. “That’s another thing we mustn't overlook,” :he said', “the chance that some employee in those office ob­ served some suspicious acts over here. See t>o it the people on this side of the building are questioned early in the morning.” As soon as Jenks departed to carry out his orders, he opened Mrs. Keith’s pocketbook. Mr. Daw­ son and t’he court clerk watched him as he placed on the table a gold vanity case with the chased initials B. W. K., lipstick, a key ring of five rings, a handkerchief and file\ tickets to a charity ball and a check- booiki which Rankin put aside for future scrutiny. Beneath what ap­ peared another ‘handkerchief, he found a’ small bottle of clear, color­ less liquid. Even before he uncorked it, a recking pungent odor revealed it» contents to be chloroform. The cloth was actually a thick cotton pad, still damp from its saturation with the drug. The bottle, large enough for 4 ounces, was half empty. It lacked a label and the distinguishing marks of any druggist. Mr. Simpkins made the first sur­ prised comment. “Why, that must be the . . stuff t'he criminal smothered her -with, Mr. Rankiin!” he exclaimed excited­ ly. “Why do you suppose he hid it in her purse? Surely that’s gerous thing to do.” The detective shrugged, not?* He couldn’t carry it and this is as safe a way to of it as any.” Pocketing the checkbook, turned the other articles •casually to“ the 'handbag and addressed Mr. Dawson. “I think I’m ready now to inquire what the others, besides your force, can tell me of the tragedy,” he an­ nounced. “I’ll question your part­ ners first." “Neither cf them is here, Mr. Rankin,” the lawyer informed him, “Mr. Locke is in New York on an important case-—gone since Monday. •Mr. MacQuire is playing in a golf tournament this afternoon.” “Then I’ll question the immed­ iate parties to the hearing, and fhei-r lawyers. One at a time; if you’ll be good enough to have Mr. Trumbull come in, I’ll start with him.” When summoned, Allen Rowland's attorney entered the library from M-r. Dawson’s1 office. Although still under thirty-five, he looked at least five years older. After Mr. Dawson introduced him, the detective began without any preliminaries. “Perhaps I gress wit'h the —he motioned clearing up what happened here this aifterno'on before t'he meeting. But first I need information about Mrs. Keith. You stated at the hearing, I believe, that she is a leading family in "So she is, Mr. Trumbull returned. Keith is the wife of and lives in Chesnut Hill at the Aldwich Apartments.’’ Obviously impressed, the tive raised 'his1 eyebrows ed a low whistle. “Mortimer Keith,” he “the silk manufacturer?” Once m'OTe, he could offhand familiarity with a name in­ volved in the, tragedy. Few indeed, in Philadelphia, had not heard of the Keith .family, distinguished ‘his­ torically and politically since the American Revolution. Mortimer Keith was the last of his line, mold­ ed in t'he family traditions, austere, upright and reserved. When his an­ cestors’ estate was threatened by depletion, his dominating personal­ ity and enterprise rebuilt both. He was well into middle age, Rankin vaguely recalled, when he married a beautiful woman much his junior about four years earlier. Whatever the previous importance of the crime, because of the prom­ inence of t'he divorce action, it paled into insignificance before this new revelation. Murder wa& always mur­ der; but the identity of the dead witness.—no plebian citizen or mere menial—gave it additional promise of being a genuine “couse celebre.” "Yes, that’s who she is," the law­ yer replied to 'his query, “Mrs. Mor­ timer Keith.” "Then her husband will have to be notified of what’s happened at •once. I’ll want to question Alim about Mrs. Keith as promptly as pos­ sible.” . He summoned the remaining po­ liceman from the outer room and a dan- “Why around get rid lie re- can best made pro­ case, Mr. Trumbull" him to a chair,—“by connected with: the city?"

Keith.” Mr. Trumbull shook his head. “I didn’t bring her at all, Mr. Rankin: I came here alone and Mr, Rowland accompanied her into town. It was arranged that he go for her to her residence in Chestnut Hill, and join me here, I reached ‘here about two- twenty-five; they drove in with Mrs. Keith’s chauffeur five minutes after­ wards." “At half past two, eh! And at what time did you leave her in that! office to wait until you were ready for her testimony?” “About ten minutes later, I should judge,” the other replied. “Then Mr. Rowland went down to the street to dismiss the chauffeur, who was pai-kied outside the building. She had ordered ‘him to stay. Rowland suggested we let him go and use my car to get home.” “Are you certain," the detective probed, he really went downstairs to speak to the chauffeur?” The lawyer replied vigorously, in tones that brooked no doubt. "Pos­ itive, Mr. Rankin; in fact, I walked into the hall with him and saw him take the elevator. He was igone only a few minutes, leiss than five; I was phoning in the outer office when he returned." “Then tWo-forty was the last time either of you saw ‘her alive?" Ran­ kin eyed him seachingly. "You did- not enter fifteen-o-five again, thro’ either this library -or the door from •Che hall, while you were out there?” “Not until I found her dead,’ he returned. “We left her completely alone. Mr. Rowland and I went- in­ to Mr. Dawson's private office for the next ten minutes, where we could discuss today’s . . . strategy without being disturbed. I can vouch t'hat he never left me the entire time, nor I him. Then Mr. Dawson arrived and we assembled for the hearing." The detective bent forward, toy­ ing with a pencil he tooik/ from t'he table. “Why was it arranged, Mr. Trum­ bull, that Mrs. Keith wait apart in •there, instead of outside in o-seven? Have you some reason for that?" “It was done for privacy spare 'her all possible distress,” the lawyer explained. “She was doing uls a service in. offering her evidence but naturally, in her position, she desired no publicity. She even dressed inconspicuously. In the main office, under the eyes of employees and casual visitors, s'he would have felt uncomfortable. And she couldn’t stay in the library with Mrs. Row­ land and Mr. Willard; that would have been even •mord’ embarrassing.” “Then, they 'had before you?" “Yes, I supose so earlier than I an'd Dawson here. In fact, they were here w'hen Mr. Rowland entered fif­ teen-o-five with Mrs. Keith; he came out at once and closed this door be­ tween the rooms. So they saw u© leave 'her at two-forty.” Rankin nodded. "Had they any idea in advance that it was she who Vould be Mr. Rowland’s leading wit­ ness against them? That is, before, s'he arrived today? Was her name mentioned, for instance,, in your written defense?" -Mr. Trumbull’s forehead wrinkled in. a frown of uncertainty and re­ flection. “No, the answer I filed was pure­ ly formal and withheld all the es­ sential detais. And considering the nature of Mirs. Keith's evidence, I don’t believe his wife- was in a sition to learn her identity."

A good crowd witnessed the game. The Zurich team played good ball and deserved to win. ICetslake for So&forthj did pitcli Ills ususil good game. “j>o” Kerslake behind the bat was unlucky enough to get three hasty smacks with the ball, one on his head and two on the fiii- gers. Heideman tor Zurich, pitched a good game with Gascho turning in a stellat performance. The Hensail School Fair which was held an Thursday afternoon was a splendid, success. The weather be­ ing ideal and a good crowd was out to view the parade and exhibits. The pupils headed by the Hensail Band, at one-thirty gathered in front of the Town Hall and marched to the school grounds where the contests and public speaking was lheld. The schools taking part were the three Hensall rooms, No. 1 and No. 10, Tuckersmith; No, 2 andi No. 10, Us-- borne. No prizes were given to any separate schclol but each received $1. A very unusual thing happened in the Eaton Trophy prizes. Blanche Thompson, of Hensall, really won the prize, winning 64 points but as she won the trophy last year according ■to rules- was not eligible for it again this year so had to take second ■prize which was a beautiful book, Helen Selves, No. 10 Usborne and Jessie Paisley, of Hengall, each having the same number of prizes and also- 3'5 points each Mr. Mac­ Leod decided that the fairest way was'to have the two girl© for t’he prize.
