KILLER'S PACE
8Y JULIUS LONG
COPYRIGHT 1951 BY NEA SERVICE, INC.
THE STORY: Star Williams
tricks a jury into accquitting Rose
Badualt on a murder charge, but
his stunt is exposed and now is
faces disbarment. Rose had con
fided to me, Jim Marshall, Star's
leg-man, after her acquittal, that
her story of the accidental killing
of her husband was false, but she
had iold it to protect Larry Stone,
who she says also is innocent. I
go back to see Rose but find her
murdered and I am forced to kill
a burglar in her house.
* o *
Chapter XII
Star Williams stared at me
through gimlet eyes while told of
my experiences during the after
noon. “I think it would be a good
idea to check on the Prater Her
metically Sealed Valut Company,”
he said.
“Got any idea why Larry Stone
phoned you?”
“No. I phoned him back just
now and he denied that he had
made the call. Said somebody else
must have used his name.”
I grimaced. “McNamara, of
couse. McNamara stopped him
from contacting you as he had
planned. I wonder why he wanted
to in the first place. I'm also won
dering some other things about
Stone. When he mentioned Rose
Bidault this noon, he said: ‘She
got around.” And when I tried to
scare him by saying she could tell
her story; he came back with: ‘Oh,
can she? 1 wonder if he knew
Rose was already dead and how
he knew.”
Star shrugged. “I don't put
much stock in mixed tenses. Peo
ple are careless with their gram
mar, Stone’s use of the past tense
may not mean a thing. And, by the
way, Max Feldstein just phoned
that Tanner’s filed the disbarment
petition against me.”
“Well, he didn’t lose any time.
He’s out to get you, Star. You've
made a monkey out of him too
many times.”
w" .® *®
Star smiled wrily. “He may nail
me this time. With Rose Bidault
living it would have been hard
enough to prove her innocent.
Now that she’s dead in may be
impossible. T wonder who could
have made things so tough for
me."”
1 studied. “Larry Stone is my
bet. With Rose dead nobody can
testify that he was with her the
night of Barney’s murder. I can't
testify, because anything I could
say would be hearsay. Right?”
“Right. Rose’s death puts Stone
in the clear. But I can’t quite be
lieve it's that simple. Now, I won
der why that prowler was there it
he wasn't after money or jewelry.”
“I'm sure I don't know, but I
am sure he didn’t murder her. I'd
rather peg Dave Grafton.”
Star eyed me in puzzlement. I
hadn’t told him about Grafton fol
folwing me, so I explained,

“Grafton will squawk to the po
lice about your being there.”
“That’s all right—l told Merica
I was.”
“And he’ll believe it’s only be
cause Grafton knew about it any
way. You may have some fast
talking to do.”
I shrugged. “You haven’t said
what you think about Dave Graf
ton for the job.” ;
“Dave’s not the type. I've known
him for years. He'd steal the gold
out of his clients’ teeth, bue he'd
get a court order for it first. He'd
never commit a crime of violence.”
“Well, he might be forced to. I
can figure plenty of motives for
Grafton. He had been Barney
Bidault’s attorney for years, and
the was executor under his will
with a $2,000,000 estate to settle.”
Star still shook his head. “No,
Jim. Even if Dave pulled a few
fast ones with the estate, he'd
cover himself up. He's mightly
shrewd, that boy. His brains made
Barney Bidault the wealthy man
he was. Barney made all his
money by backing somebody else
with an idea. If the idea flopped,
Barney dropped it cold. If it
turned out hot, Barney ran to
Dave Grafton, who figured out
some way to steal the idea from
Barney's partner. Dave usually
came through, He wouldn't miss
on something like gutting Barney's
estate. He would do it legally and
with no cause for murder.”
“Maybe so. I still think you
ought to get an accounting in the
estate.”
Star eyed me wanly. “I don’i
know how I can—l'm not an inter
ested party. But I'll put a bug in
the probate judge's ear, though
1 think you're barking up the
wrong tree.”
The inter-office unit came alive,
and Kitty Coyle announced: “In
spector Merica calling.”
‘When Merica came in he took a
chair near my own and frowned
across the desk at Star.
“The coroner did a quick post
and established the time of Rose
Bidault’s death. Right about noon.
Maybe 15 minues one way or an
other, but 12 o’clock noon is just
about it. This leg-man of yours
admits being there at about that
time.”
“I didn’'t admit it, Inspector. I
told it of my own free will. The
girl was alive and well when I
checked out. There’s something
else I forgot to mention. Dave
Grafton drove up as I was leaving.
He wanted to see Rose about some
thing. I told him she’d knocked
herself out and to come back some
other time. Grafton followed me
downtown a few bloeks. 1 don’t
remember exactly how far.”
“Eight blocks. I've had a call
from Grafton. He told me you
were higher than a kite when you
left the Bidault house.”
“Then Grafton’s a liar. I had
some drinks, but I wasn’t that bad
off. What’s Grafton trying to gain
by that kind of talk?”
“I wonder.” Merica looked away
from me. “You don't have to tell
me, Mr. Williams! We can’t hold
Jim Marshall until we get more on
him than that. Frankly, I don’t
think he skewered that girl with
that pair of scissors. But there’s
something funny about the guy he
cooled. The guy was Rod La-
Grange, a tough boy.”

flict with neither logic nor (the)
tradition of meeting force with
maximum counter-force.”
2. That “in Asia is where the
Communist conspirators have
elected to make their play for
global conquest.”
MacArthur has declared the
Chinese Communists can be de
feated by expanding the war to
include Allied air attacks and
Chinese Nationalist assaults on the
mainland.
The Pentagon chiefs do not
subscribe to MacArthur's relief
that the Communists have picked
Asia as the major arena. Secretary
of Defense Marshall last week told
a news conference he believed the
“world” situation was more se
rious than last fall.
In doing that, it was evident he
meant new dangers lay outside
Korea and the Communist war in
Asia.
Spokane means “chief of the sun
people” in the Indian language
from which it is taken.

to Israel, it is patrolled jointly by
Syrian and Isreali police, serving
under U. N. supervision.
The clashes originated with Is
raeli’s project to drain the Huleh
Swamps. The U. N. observers call
ed the project worthy, but urged it
be postponed until settlements of
disputes with Syrian landowners.
Israel ignored this recommenda
tion and continued the work over
Syrian objections that, since it in
volves the sources of the Jordan
River, the boundary might be al
tered.

was set up; however, he said thisi
was not a good plan so a revision‘
was made and the revision now “is
an acceptable censorship set-up.”
He spoke of various kinds of
censorsg;)p, such as military, sci
entific, political, and others, and
emphasized the importance of in
tegrity and objectivity in news re-~
porting. |
Mr. Downs thinks the reporting
of news in Korea is good now and
the American public, through
press and radio, is receiving a
fairly clear picture of events.
In an interview with Ed Thile
nius, WGAU news director, over
“News—Night Final” last night,
Mr. Downs said he was surprised
that the American people are now
accepting U. S. casualties in Ko
rea as if they were deaths and
injuries in automobile accidents,
He stated that he believes this at
titude is an alarming one.
Pictorial News
In a speech on television, Mr,
Bridges emphasized that TV should
be pictorial. He said in news pre
sentation the pictorial aspects
should be paramount to wverbal.
However, Mr. Bridges did say that
a combination of verbal and pic
torial presentation, with special
emphasis on the latter, gives the
viewer-listener a well - rounded
summary of the news,
Ben Chatfield, WMAZ, Macon,
presided over the session,
The Institute opened yesterday
afternoon with registration and a
session on religious broadcasts.
Several outstanding ministers, re
ligious editors, and radio men took
part in the panel discussion.
Last night the opening dinner
was held at which time Governor
Herman Talmadge spoke to the
broadcasters.
Governor Talmadge told the ra
dio men *to show the immense
strides this industry has taken in
a comparatively few years we can
see sitting here tonight some of
the men who gave this State its
first radio broadcasting programs
as well as some of those who are
now bringing to the State the
latest novelties in television.”
Talmadge Talks
He said he heard his first radio
program when hfi was ten years
old and *“gince that time I have
had quite a lot of experience with
radio and I have profound respect
for it. In the political campaigns
of my father, Eugene Talmadge,
and later in my own campaigns I
learned of the immense possibili-

tion.”
The governor further stated that
“ag long as radip and television
can remain free to give to the peo~
ple all sides ana atr phases of mo~
mentous.questions it can be of vast
public service.”
Also he told the audience that
“recent developments show that
television is rapidly assuming a
strong position in the dissemina
tion of informaton as well as pro
viding entertainment.” -
Governor Talmadge said the re
sponsibilities of radio and tele
vision broadcasters and state of
ficials are many and important,
and that the two can work togeth
er to make Georgia an “even
greater state.”
Introducing Governor Talmadge
was Ed Rivers, former governor
and present owner of WGOV, Val
dosta. Mr. Rivers told of many
features of the Talmadge admin
istration which he felt were mak
ing Georgia an outstanding state.
Also addressing the dinner
meeting was Lambdin Kay, for
mer director of WSB, Atlanta.
During the session on the com
mercial aspects. of broadcasting
late this morning, Edgar Kobak,
chairman of Broadcast Advertising
Bureau, told radio broadcasters
they are not doing all that they
might in the way of program
ming, advertising, and service. He
said many radio opportunities are
not getting proper attention and
treatment.
In a speech prepared for the
sixth annual Institute, he said few
radio stations carried sessions of
the Xefauver crime committee
hearings and so let “TV steal the
show.”
Separate Operations
Also, he said to protect both in
dustries he believed radio and tel
evision operations should be sep~
arated.
The Institute got underway yes
terday and will end tomorrow aft
er a luncheon at the Georgian
Hotel. The public is invited to at=
tend all sessions in the C-J audi
torium on the campus.
Charles D. Redwine, state rev~
enue commissioner, was slated to
speak on the sales tax at the
luncheon today. This afternoon a
session on sports broadcasting was
to begin at 2:30 followed by a
“Television” forum at 4 p. m. Dr.
0. C. Aderhold, University presi
dent, will speak at tonight’s din
ner.
