At the trial the woman who tells the story Is a guest of the Judge. Trent and Whit- taker had quarreled about money mat- ters and Trent knew of his wife’s at- tachments for Whittaker. Henshaw, an accountant, says lie saw Trent in the washroom the night of the mur- der scrubbing at a spot on hls clothes and that later he found a stained wet towel there.

CHAPTER XI At last Mr. Bondy returned, with the stained handkerchief which had been put through water. Mr. Peterson extended it toward the witness. “Now will you examine this wet handkerchief and state Whether the stains in any way resemble, thpse on the towel used by Mr. Trent?” Before Henshaw could take the handkerchief, Max Conrick leaped at the question like a panther ready to maul it with his paws. “Your Honor, the learned District Attorney is staging a vaudeville act. I ask your Honor to instruct the jury to disregard this entertaining but dubious experiment which has no re- lation whatever to the alleged stains on the towel.” Without further parley Judge Mac- Kenzie ruled in favor of the defense. The District Attorney had a soaked handkerchief and a sore finger for hia pains. Yet the suggestion had been made to the jury that the stains on Julian Trent’s coal; sleeve were prob- ably blood. It would take some inten- sive work on the part of defense coun- sel to undermine this impression, Mr. Conrick's first question on cross- examination tackled the problem. Under the Basin “Mr. Henshaw, when you spoke to Mr. Trent in the washroom, you firm- ly believed that the stain he was try- ing to get out of his coat was ink, didn’t you?” “Yes.” “Did you at the time notice the color of the stain which you claim was on the towel Mr. Trent was us- ing?” “No. 1-Ie stood with Ms back to me.” “Yet you knew he was rubbing his coat sleeve with a towel?” “1 could see that in the glass over the basin.” “You then went to your office and on your return to the washroom picked up a towel from under the basin?" . “Yes.” “How do you know this was the towel used by Mr. Trent?” “It was the only one on the floor.” “Did you look under the basin while you were talking to Mr. Trent?" “No. But I don’t thinkâ€"” What You Saw “We are not concerned with what you think, Mr. Henshaw, but with what you actually saw. Since you did not even look under the basin when you first spoke to Mr. Trent, you have no idea whether or not there was a towel under it at the time, therefore, under oath you cannot testify that the towel you found later was actual- ly the towel Mr. Trent used, can you?” “No.” Behind his spectacles, the accountant’s eyes were hard and bel- ligerent.. “You’re near-sighted, aren’t you?” asked Conrick. “Yes,” admitted Mr. Henshaw. “The witness ia excused,” said Con- rick. And court adjourned. The following day was still dismal. Heavy rain and sleet had set in and against the window panes their ’ eat was a steady despairing tom-tom. Going into court my feet felt like lead. I wanted to turn and escape. There was no reason why I should stay, yet I could not leave. Until thip trial was over, no power on earth, not even my own inclination could keep me away. “Paula de Young.” Fourteenth Witness The clerk administered the oath and Paula de Young mounted the wit- ness stand. This was the girl who had admitted to me that she loved Trent. I looked at Julian Trent. Elbows on the counsel table, his head was bowed in his hands. He held this posi- tion so continuously that it seemed he must be deliberately avoiding any chance that she might see his face. Even so, the girl did not once turn In his direction, The room was hot and she dropped her coat, over the back of the witness chair. As on the first day, she wore a black dress with a Wide white linen collar. Throat and face were marble-white'. She answered the District Attorney’s questions in a low unwavering voice. She had sum- moned courage for the ordeal. The Prosecutor first established the fact that Paula de Young had no liv- ing relatives, that she resided alone and that for seven years she had been Stanley Whittaker’s secretary at Continental Broadcasting. She had gone with him when he formed the partnership with Julian Trent. She testified as to his habits of work, the hour he arrived, the hour he left. As to this last item, his hours were very ir- regular. Sometimes he was out of the place at five; sometimes he stayed quite late. She occupied quarters next to Mr. Whittaker’s with a small com- municating opening in the partition hut no door between the rooms. Ex- cept during private conferences she I remained at a desk in his office from ! which there was only one entrance to the passageway. Door Often Locked “Miss de Young, was Mr. Whittaker in the habit of locking Ills office door?” “Only when he wanted absolutely no interruptions.” “Did this happen frequently?” “Yes.” “You mean that he frequently held Interviews of such a private nature that they necessitated locking the door?” Nothing but the finest and purest ingredients tire used in baking Christie’s Biscuits, and infinite care is taken that they reach you Crisp and fresh.

In a drawer of his desk.” “Did Mr. Trent have knowledge of where the key was kept?” “I don’t know.” “1 Have Seen It” “Now think carefully. Did you ever see Mr. Whittaker take the key from the drawer in Mr. Trent’s presence?” “I have ho .recollection of seeing him do so,” “Can you swear you never saw him do so?” Defense counsel fought this ques- tion, Claiming that the Prosecution Household Science By SUSAN FLETCHER â-  V» JiM V fc YY: Frozen Ginger Pudding 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca 2 cups milk, scalded % teaspoon salt (I tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons light corn syrup 4 tablespoons ginger syrup 2 egg whites 1 cup cream, whipped 4 tablespoons pecans, coarsely brok- en 4 tablespoons preserved ginger, finely diced Add quick-cooking tapioca to milk, and cook in double boiler 16 minutes, or until tapioca is clear and mixture thickened, stirring frequently.

She started to turn in the direction of Julian Trent, then held back and kept. an intent gaze on the District Attorney. The way she strained to keep her eyes from the prisoner told, me how afraid she was to look at him, liow frightened that one reckless, glance might betray to that crowded room some hint of the love no one must suspect. She took the revolver from. Peter- son’s hand and turned it over in hers. “Yes, I have seen this revolver,” she said.
