At the meeting of East’s sup-

again in the county courtroom at
7:30 p. m. Wednesday to hear
the report of the committee on
further procedure.
Victor C. Yates, who acted as
chairman, stated that the pro-
testors were not acting with re-
vengeful motives but to see that
Mr. and Mrs. East were given
fair treatmeht. ,
The results show that “Cigarette W” won 75
first choices; “Cigarette X” won 74; “Cigarette
' Y” won 36; and “Cigarette Z” (OLD GOLD)
won 118. The preference for OLD GOLD was 57%

nervelessly into a chair expect-

had not attracted any notice.
Later I borrowed the key to
Harry’s office and closed the
window, secured the other gun
and removed the money in or-
der to confuse the police when
they'arrived. Both guns I car-
ried below in a cleaning pall
and threw in the furnace."
In the silence which followed
the pathetic recital McMann
turned to Ruth Lester and said:.
“Well, it looks as though you
would collect the reward after
all, just how did Colby luster’s
daughter .see Martha Mapping

. Ruth smiled oddly and draw- '
Ing out the mysterious sheets of
paper which she had typewrit-

■ “The full account of it is
here, but I might say that we
were unable-to find any evi-
dene* that Martha Manning
either entered or left the Star-
' bridge building or) Friday inght
although she proved definitely '
that she was there. The enig-
ma was solved’ when I visited
' the Acropolis Hotel this after-
noon and watched Letty Mil-
elr come forth.”
As-no one seemed inclined to
press the charge of murder •
against Martha Manning th
grand jury refused to return an
indictment, and so ended the
mystery of “Handsome Harry

Went Into Effect
Building permit values for the
month of March surpassed those
of any month since the new build-
ing code went into effct a year
ago Monday. .
The total amount represented
In 399 permits issued during the
month was 21,374,881.
For the corresponding month
last year, 731 permits were is-
sued for a value of 84.843,335.
City officials declare this an un-
fair comparison, as last March'
was the last month during which
contractors were allowed to obtain
free permits before the city build-,
ing code established a fee system.
The largest permits issued last
month were for the Lone Star
Gas Company building, $237,946;
Purina Mills, $125,000, and the
J. C. Penney store, 890,000. Re-
maining permits were for apart-
ment houses and family dwellings,
with a large number of pepair
permits.

on Saturday afternoon I called
him from Hayward’s office and
threatened to expose him if he
did not provide for my son.

to glance in my direction and
he immediately saw the whole
