When she and the watchman finally entered Mr. Whittaker's office, in what position was the body? The gentleman, Anna explained, was on the floor with hie hack against the desk, sort of half-sitting. There was a hole in his stomach. "You're positive his hack was against the desk?" interrupted Peterson. Peterson. ' "Yes, sir. I said to Mr. O'Neil--" "Never mind what you said. What did you see?" Now Anna was having a real thrill. She was reliving such things as she had often read in the tabloids. A dead man! Blood! A gun! Making Her Nervous She embarked on a description of how Stanley Whittaker's head had rested chin on chest, illustrating with, her own. She eloquently gripped her right hand round an imaginary revolver. revolver. Yes, unquestionably, this was Anna Tuftnik's one brief moment of exhibitionism. She would have prolonged prolonged it indefinitely had she been allowed. allowed. She did not so much enjoy Max Con- rick's cross-examination. He asked only a few questions but they were confusing'. He made her just a little uncertain as to the exact position of the body. She didn't blame the other man for jumping up and Objecting. Why didn't this one let her alone? Hé made, her nervous. Ugly little fellow! fellow! The point over which attorneys wrangled was important. The position of the body was counted on to substantiate substantiate the Prosecution's murder theory, t.o verify the Contention that Stanley Whittaker had been fired at by someone who stood close to and facing him. If Whittaker had signed the confession, then shot, himself, he would almost beyond a doubt have been found facing the desk, not backed against it. As Anna Tuftnik left the witness stand, her eyes pierced through wads of fat to glare at Max. Undoubtedly she felt that the nice man who had first questioned her shared her resentment. resentment.

Among all these people, must he some interested in ship models. All the swells wanted 'em on mantel pieces. You could see 'em in store windows everywhere. They did the craziest things with 'em--in bottles ■--in glass lamps. This was his big 'chance to let everybody know that he had 'em for sale. By the sudden gleam in his eye there wasn't . much question that opportunity opportunity to augment his income was more momentous than a murder inquiry. inquiry.
