MURDERER FIRST
/7 SJuvU SttPup
By RidurJ Hill Wilkimon
I NSPECTOR LEM DORSEY care-1
fully arranged the three packs of 1
paper matches on the table, leaving
their flaps open. 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."
