By Barnaby Conrad. Ar­ bor House. 256 Pages. $16.95. Very few writers ever get a chance to try to solve the murder of a great-grandmother. But Barnaby Conrad did, with a case nearly 100 years old and one of the most bizarre in the an­ nals of criminal jurisprudence. It was a national sensation for two years or so -- and chronicl­ ed long afterward -- as "the first murder ever committed by mail." • The victim was a richxvidow whose morals were questic Even so, she and her high-level friends the White House. Author Conrad Was intrigued when he came upoq musty fami­ ly papers relating to events he had heard about as a child and afterward. He decided to try to find out what really had happened. He spent a great amount of time and travel in research In the process he unveiled dark deeds of a dismaying nature' among his ancestors, their friends and authorities of tlir time. In the end, Conrad's efforts strongly intimated, the doctor convicted of the crime and sentenced to death wasn't tin culprit. The reader is given all the evidence to decide who was. - Almost anyone should enjoy reading the book because of its engrossing story plus an ex­ cellent job of research and writing.

Delacorte. 380 Pages. $17.50. x Reginald Darcy Thormond Dancer Kildare returns from Dublin to his estate, Andromeda Park, to find everything and everyone a little older and a lit­ tle more shabby -- except for Leila, a new servant girl, who has raven black hair, dark eyes and smooth white skin. Candles flicker, a bat flies overhead and the dressing cup­ board door in Darcv Dancer's bedroom falls off its hinges with a loud crash to the floor -- these are among the torments that greet Darcy Dancer back at his home, which could be viewed more like a prison, or a mental institution, where all the residents seem a bit crazy. Dar­ cy suffers numerous indignities -- from clothes that no longer fit to a cracked chamber pot and rats scurrying down the hall. "Leila" is J.R. Donleavy's se- auel to "The Destinies of Darcy •ancer. Gentleman." This se­ quel is almost as indulgent as Darcy himself, who has a large appetite for food, liquor and women. Darcy spends a good deal of time worrying about how long the supplies at Andromeda Park will last -- particularly with his servants' inclination large quantities of cream and butter and to liberally provide the best wines to guests who call at the estate^ Darcy tdls himself that U: would neveKstoop so low as tn- consider a servant-- y et he pro­ claims himself to Leila, who 11 - mains a teasingly elusive tanM Darcy pursues other women with a not-too-discriminating eye He also falls victim, repeated­ ly, to an old acquaintatu e. Rashers Ronald, who manat:-^ to steal the family silver. When Darcy confronts Bashers with the theft, L)ar<.\ seems more concerned about Rashers' opinion of the qua lit > of the silver than the return of the family's goods. "Are you ... tell­ ing me my silverware is of poor quality?" Darcy asks. And Rashers replies: "No, No Never. And 1 assure you the bet­ ter stuff is' with the in<• >t reputable pawn merchant Darcy pursues his servant uul Leila, but is as succu^sful in this endeavor as he us with most everything else in life, which i> not very successful at all. "Leila." entertaining in part-, is perhaps more enjoyable to a reader familiar with Pares and the other characters from the previous book.

The art of net-casting is her favorite pastime and she's challenged other grannies to throw the net better than she does. By GARRY MITCHELL Associated Press Writer JOSEPHINE, Ala. (AP) - Carolyn Nelson, a grandmother who prides herself on being a skilled cast-net thrower, says it takes rhythm to excel at casting, and adds: '.'Be careful with your teeth." She's so confident of her skill that she's jokingly challenged "grandmothers from Key West to Corpus Christi" to a cast-net casting contest at Gulf Shores. Some of that confidence, she said, lies in the low number of women Who throw cast nets. Mrs. Nelson, an elementary school teacher, lives in Mon­ tgomery, but her heart still belongs to the dad who taught her how to throw a cast net as a teen-ager on Alabama's Gulf coast. "About the time Wonder Real Estate 72 For Sale Woman came alongl was trying to come up with a CB handle. My husband said, 'Why don't you be Wonder Woman?' But I decided to be Mullet Woman." Cast nets catch mullet. "You throw right at the edge of the dock," she said in a telephone interview. "Imostly throw Wind. The ones I catch are just pure luck. I throw at night a lot, throw toward the noise. "It takes practice. A lady said she'd learned last summer but hadn't caught anything. There's iust some special thrill when you throw that net 50 times and something hits it like a ton of bricks. It s the biggest thrill in the world." But they don't catch mullet in Montgomery anymore. Dams closed their river route. So Mrs. Nelson often visits her parents. Fosdick and Lorraine Cunn­ ingham, at their retirement home in coastal Josephine. "I guess the challenge is how good a circle you could make with net. The object is to make a complete circle with the net," she said. Don't worry so much about the mullet. Concentrate on style, she advises. "Fish may happen by and may not, you never laiow, ' she savs. It's tne joy of net-casting that counts. Mrs. Nelson keeps a net at home in Montgomery, anyway She took it to her Normandale Baptist Church Sunday School class picnic once "and taught them all how to throw one." "It takes rhythm," she said. "And you don't want to lose any teeth holding the weight. My dad­ dy has false teeth, so ne holds the weight on a clothespin around his neck."
