THE HAILEYBURIAN THURS., JANUARY 8th, 1931 The Murder By Leslie McFarlane Black Mansion back of it, and ire had more than the jewelry store might have something to do with these visits. He told Howard, his brother, and learned that Moreno was usually in the Black Mansion at night. As a matter of fact, Moreno had been counted in on the job and was taking an active part, afraid that the thieves might complete their task and clear out with the loot before he knew about it." "So Mr. Gale went there to learn what he could, I suppose?" Exactly. Sam was dubious as to the wisdom of this course and he confided in Miss Branner. Howard promised to call her up as soon as he returned from the place, to assure her that no harm had come to him.

He felt that the girl was in touch with Howard so he delivered the letter, presumably from some- one in touch with the Moreno gang, and then watched the nov- elty store. Sam and I went to Howard and delivered the mes- sage. Old Ned and his two assis- tants followed us and took How- ard away. They wanted to keep him quiet until after the robbery and in the meantime they sent a message to the girl warning her that if she revealed her know- ledge of the Black Mansion to the police, Gale would die." "But didn't Gale confess to the Moreno murder, sir?" "He did, but it was merely to save the girl. Ned was merely bluffing, for the benefit of the other members of the gang. Young Gale really thought the girl might have killed Moreno, to protect herself, and he thought these men\were all friends of Moreno, anxious for revenge. Therefore, he lied, and confessed. But at police headquarters this morning, after I had informed Malloy of 'what I overheard in the tunnel, Old Ned was subject- ed to -__er___ rather persuasive questioning and he admitted everything."
