On the inside of each flap he wrote a name. "Just so we’ll remember who be longs to which," he smiled. The three men who stood about the table did not smile in return. Char lie Seabrook, vice-president of the Pillsbury Metal Works, said impa tiently: *T wish you’d explain what it's all about. Inspector. I have to get up to Traversack by dinner time tonight." "What!" Inspector Dorsey opened his eyes in astonishment. "Think ing of a dinner engagement when your president's body is hardly cold after being murdered!" "We're not sure that it was mur der.” Seabrook answered sourly. "Besides, what good can I do stay ing here?” "Why, you might be the man who murdered him!” Seabrook snorted in disgust. He took out his watch, glanced at it, thrust it back into his pocket, sigh ed and regarded the inspector wearily. "Well, get on with it” Kim Young, the metal company's bookkeeper, sat on the edge of a chair drumming on his knees with his fingers. He said now: "You’ve got to establish a motive before you can even think of pinning a murder charge on anyone. Inspector." Dorsey shook his head. "I'll prove who killed him, and establish the motive later." "You can't do that! You can t just accuse a man of murder with out knowing why be d do it” This from Fen Bradley, the company's general manager. He was a small man. wiry, alert. He had a quick nervous habit of gesturing with his sands as he talked. Inspector Lem smiled blandly. "Now. gentlemen, you're all excit ed. I must say none of you la very shrewd. Otherwise you'd under stand that you've reached the state sf mind into which I've been trying to get you for the last half-hour Well, anyway. we'U get on with the business. "Now. you all noticed that Mr. Pillsbury was found holding the gun in his left hand. You have all testi fied that he was right-handed What ioes this indicate? First it indi cates that he did not commit sui cide as at first are suspected. Sec ond, it indicates that whoever murdered him wanted it to appear like suicide. And. third. It indi cates that Mr. Piilsbury's slayer was left-handed himself. We can reasonably hazard that in the ex citement of the moment the killer placed the gun in Mr. Piilsbury's left hand because It was natural tnd instinctive for him to do so. "Now. It appears that all we have to do Is find a left-handed man among those who were with Mr. Pillsbury this afternoon. You three save admitted—under questioning— to 4 have dropped in at his office. Now. if one of you ree were left- mded . . . But, draw close here gentle’ »n. I want you to study these tnree packs of paper matches I want you to tell me if any one is different from the rest.’’ Inspector Dorsey made a slight motion with his hand. As If unable to resist the three men drew close to the table and stared down at the three paper folders. Inspector Dor sey watched them closely. When their heads wer* bent he shot a quick, sharp glance at Officer Mori- arty, who «*ood on guard near the door. M rty's nod was ever so slight, bui ihe muscles beneath his blue uniform grew tense. One hand dropped carelessly to the butt of his s vice gun. "Look the same to me," Bradley said, straightening. "Say, listen, inspector, what kind of a game is this?" "How do they appear to you, Mr. Seabrook?" Dorsey asked, turning to the vice-president. Seabrook shrugged. "Sorry. 1 guess I was thinking of something else. Might be a difference, but I can't see it" “And you. Mr. Young?" The bookkeeper gestured nerv ously. “There's more matches used from one pack than there is from the others,” he offered. "Precisely. And if you will note, the matches that have been used were taken from the left-hand side of th Only a left-handed man w>» ..lie luem from that side fti». ttoius the pack In his right hand ana tears off the matches nearest him w.th his left. That's natural. We ou.d prove it more definitely b> *. a mining a dozen or more paefcr But we can fee.' reasonably sure by examining the other two that are here. Please note, the remaining pair have the matches torn off from the right side, indicating that their users were right-handed. "Now, we note the name on the left-hand pack. We see that la— Ah. Mr. Young, you're wasting your time trying to draw that gun. Offi cer Mortarty has his out already and it la aimed directly at your head." Kim Young whirled with • savage oath. He might have sus pected that Dorsey was bluffing. But Dorsey wasn’t Officer Mori- arty's gun was pointed directly and In a very business like fashion at his head. He was bright enough to see the folly of trying to best a trained weapon to the draw. He quit with a sort of groaning sigh. Inspector Dorsey sucked in his breath. He had hoped to avoid gunplay, and was glad Young had * shown some Intelligence. "I doubt" he remarked dryly, “if we'll have much trouble In es tablishing the motive—now that we have the killer."
