Marshal Goering, right, apparently congratulating him for the accomplishments of the Nazi bombers.
Watching Herr Hitler’s rare gayety at recent meet- ing in Berlin are Minister Without Portfolio Count
von Neurath (behind Hitler), and Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels (behind Goering).

Riggs glared at the floor. “I

HAZEL LEIGHTON looked in-

Carroll and then at Lieutenant
•O’Leary. - "But that's impossible,"
she said. "How could anyone in
this house have, committed the
murder? We were all in the
drawing room. No one left until
I got up and found the body.”
O’Leary sighed the deep sigh
of a police officer who has a job
on his hands. “Sure, it’s impos-
sible. All clever murders are im-
possible. That’s what the mur-
derer wants us to think. That's
why they’re clever—until they're
caught.”
Hazel glared at the lieutenant
disdainfully. And then suddenly
her eyes grew larger and her
eyebrows arched ominously. “Do
you mean that we’re—that I’m a
suspect?”
“Everyone’s a suspect until we

he believed Houston's series of
■afe robberies was at an end.
Despite their denials, Eubanks
said he “felt certain" two former
convicts, arrested at a cache of
explosives and • knobknocking
tools yesterday, were responsible
for the 11 Houston safe burglaries
in the last month.
One of the men, who said he
was Clyde James, 27, of Dallas,
was shot in the left arm when he i
made as if to hurl a vial of ni-

(ARROLL watched him until he .
— was out of the room. Then
he wheeled swiftly on O’Leary.
“That’s our man, Chief,” he said.
“What makes you think so?"
“Who else could it be? He was
the only one who was loose long
enough. Nobody was with him
from 8:15 until we came. Any-
way, he looks like the kind of guy
who might pull a job like this.”
O'Leary shook his head. “May-
be. Maybe you're right. Only I'd
hate to try to get a conviction on
the evidence we’ve got now. Re-
member, the shot was fired from
this window . . . only the window
was never opened. Not from the I
outside, at least."
O’Leary sauntered over near
the door. In the drawing room
across the hallway he could see
Mardell gesturing to Hazel Leigh-
ton. Rhoda Waters was sitting
nearby. Dale Appleby and George ■
Barbour were probably there, too.
The lieutenant walked briskly
back to the window and motioned
Carroll to come over. For a few
minutes, the two men spoke softly.
When O’Leary entered the
drawing room, the conversation
stopped abruptly. The officer
stood poised in the doorway a
moment. His trained eyes swept
the five persons in the twin. "One
of these people,” he thought, “may
be a murderer.”

of Dallas.
Stoutly denying any knowledge
of the Houston burglaries, in
which some safes were blasted
open and some hauled from the
scene, the two men were question-
ed far into the night regarding
their recent activities, Brezeale
admitted that he was under bonds
totaling $50,000 on other charges
over the country, Eubanks said.
The Houston safe robberies net-
ted the perpetrators more than
$2,BOO and a recent robbery of the
same type at Texas City, south of
here, resulted in a $2,500 loss.
The arrests came after the two
city detectives had lain in wait
at a cache of burglary equipment
found in a wooded spot near Hous-
ton. When the men drove up, the
officers drew guns on them. James
picked up a vial of explosive but
a shot from Eubanks' pistol
knocked it from his hand.
