Britain Employs
Invisible Paint
For Raid Planes
BERLIN—</Tv— Something “re-
sembling rough black soot." which
Is smeared on some British planes
and makes them difficult to see
at night is giving German chem-
ists something to analytze inform-
ed sources said today.
This new "war paint” absorbs
the rays of German searchlights so
that on clear nights raiding Brit-
ish planes are hard to detect it
was said.
WASHINGTON — <A»v— Develop-
ment of a paint which so reduced
the visibility of an airplane that
it was able to run a gauntlet of
.searchlights without being detected
was reported by army air corps of-
ficers Friday.
Commenting on reports from
Berlin that the British were using
a sooty coating to black out their
Dombers. the officers disclosed that
thg United States armv had been
experimenting for years with var-
ious so-called “invisible” paints.
In contrast to the reported Brit-
ish method the army has been us-
ing a special buff paint which ab-
sorbs light so that when subjected
to the glare of a searchlight It re-
flects few rays that can be seen by
observers.

CHAPTER XI
^ERGEANT CARROLL sensed.
when he stepped into the Say-
ler study that night that the in-
voluntary guests were not in the
most joyful of moods. O'Leary
had not yet arrived. Dale Apple-
by was being as gracious as his
nervousness permitted.
Rhoda Waters sat by herself in
s large overstulTed chair which
had been arranged earlier by
Lieutenant O'Leary to face Say-
ler's desk in the corner of the
room. A divan and several occa-
sional chairs had also been lined
up and the other guests sat there
now in glowering silence.
Carroll was relieved when
O'Leary finally appeared. Fol-
lowing the lieutenant were two
uniformed officers and between
them walked the sullen Riggs
chauffeur for the late Martin Say-
ler.
Those in the study fixed their
attention on Riggs who refused
to look up from the floor. O'Leary
directed the officers to seat Riggs
in a chair on the north side of
the room. Both policemen stood
nearby. O'Leary went to the door-
way to speak to Willows the but-
ler. and in a few minutes half
a dozen servants trooped into the
room. Diffidently they looked
at the guests and then seated
themselves in a row behind the
others.
Slowly O'Leary walked to the
desk and sat down in Sayler’s
swivel chair. He turned on the
desk lamp and leaned both elbows
on top of the desk.
“I wanted you all to be here
tonight partly because there are
a few more gaps I want to fill in
and there are a few more ques-
tions.” He looked at Rhoda. “Miss
Waters you were about to leave
town this afternoon because as
you said you wanted to meet Mr.
Appleby later in New York and
be married. That isn't true is
it?”
Rhoda jumped to her feet.
“What do you mean—?”
“! mean you were getting out
because you were afraid—afraid
of what might happen if you
stayed. Isn’t that right?”
All the color drained from
Rhoda’s cheeks and her fists were
tightly drawn. Dale had clasped
her by the shoulders and was
frowning. “That isn't true” she
screamed. “You know that isn't
true. I have nothing to fear. Not
from you or anybody.”
O'Leary sighed. “Please don't!
J become excited. There * nothing
to be excited about—yet. 1 just
want to know.”
• • •
Q ’LEARY turned to Mardell.
“You frequent the Rainbow
Club Mr. Mardell?”
Mardell jerked to attention and
glared fiercely. “What if I do?"
“Why did you tell certain peo-
ple around the club that you
wouldn't need to worry about the
I. O. U.’* Sayler held against you
—after last night?”
Mardell shifted uneasily. “How
do you know that?”
“There are ways. How about
it?”
“I didn't mean what you think"
Mardell said evasively.
O'Leary nodded. “All right.
Mr. Barbour how well do you
know this house?”
“Why I—I'm not sure I know
what you mean” Barbour stam-
mered.
“Did you ever spend any of
your nights here?”
“Yes of course. Martin and 1
were partners and he asked me
often to stay overnight."
"Thank you. Miss Leighton I
have reason to believe you know
this place pretty well. I'm told
on several occasions you called
when Mr. Sayler was out and that
you spent several hours in here
by yourself because you insisted
on waiting.”
The blond woman glared de-
fiantly at O’Leary. “What of it?
I was welcome here.”
“Perhaps you were. There
wasn't anything you were particu-
larly interested in inside the
house was there?"
“Of course not.”
“There are two things you
ought to know” the lieutenant
said. “They W’ill change your
opinions of this case. First. Riggs
is not guilty of the murder of
Martin Sayler. and second—some-
one else in this room is.”
A small shriek escaped the lips
of Hazel Leighton. Everyone in
the room jerked a little with the
shock of O'Leary’s announcement.
The servants stared at him in-
credulously for a moment to see
whether he might be jesting and
then a fear-stricken maid uttered
a piercing shriek and slipped to
the floor in a faint.
One of the policemen rushed to
her side. He ordered Willows to
get a glass of water. Dale was
pacing within a small space be-
hind Rhoda's chair as he looked
down anxiously at the girl who
sat in silent horror. Barbour had
walked to the window near
O'Leary’s desk and was peering
outside into the summer black-
ness.
It was several moments before
the confusion subsided. The maid
still pale but conscious begged to
be allowed to remain. Sergeant
! Carroll had walked over to the
desk and was sitting in a chair
near O'Leary. Barbour was the
last to take his seat.
Dale stood erect now behind
Rhoda. “Why don't you end this
torture Lieutenant? Get it over
with.”
“It’ll be over soon enough"
O’Leary said. “Let me tell you
about it. The murderer was very
clever. But the trouble with
smart murderers is that they usu-
ally forget some little thing.
“In this case the killer forgot
J that Martin Sayler was a very
I fastidious man. He was almost
eccentric in that way. He liked
everything in order. Everything
neat always exactly the same.
His books for instance. He
wouldn't tolerate having any book
out of place or moved an inch
out of line from the others. Every
volume bed its exact spot.
"That was where our murderer
slipped up.”
• • •
Q’LEARY had the rapt attention
7 of everyone in the room.
“You see. this murderer had a
unique problem on his hands. He
or she had to^>e in this room to
shoot Martin Sayler at the same
time that the same murderer was
in the other room with the rest
of you. That would eliminate
suspicion. It wasn't easy but the
killer figured it out. Would you
like to know how?”
There was breathless fearful
expectation written on most of
the faces in the room. Rhoda
Waters was frankly holding on
tightly to Dale Appleby't hand
and Hazel Leighton was letting
her cigaret burn dangerously
close to her fingers. Mardell's
face was spotted with little beads
of sweat.
Barbour took off his glasses and
put them carefully in his pocket.
Then he stood up and stepped
into the center of the room.
“Lieutenant before you go any
further there’s something I want
to ask you” he said. He started
walking toward the desk. “I won-
dered if—”
From somewhere near the win-
dow* a muffled report like the
clapping of someone's hands
caused everyone to turn. And
in that instant George Barbour
a twisted tortured smile on his
white pasty face slumped to the
floor and lay sprawled on his
back. On the starched white
front of his shirt a large red
blotch was growing bigger and
bigger.
