BASKER VILLE 'I lie Tiint's-News Bureiti Sir Wi.ltrr Hol«! RALEIGH. Nov. 21.—The at tention of those in political cir cles is again beinjr focused on the contest for national committee man in the state as a result of the conference here Saturday be tween Governor J. C. B. Ehring haus and State Democratic Chair man J. Wallace Winborne of Marion, despite the fact that neither of them would make any statement with regard to the va cancy or when a meeting of the state democratic executive com mittee would be called to fill it. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of former Governor 0. Max Gardner several weeks ! :ip-n ;i« national committeeman. There is still more talk about C. I elloy Shaping of Greensboro, in connection with this post than any other of several whose names have been mentioned, probably because Shuping seems to be the only one whose backers are mak ing a determined campaign for him. One Greensboro lawyer who has been busy writing letters in behalf of Shuping announced here recently that Shuping al ready had enough votes pledged from members of the state Demo cratic executive comumittec to elect him. Rut his claim is being taken with a grain 0f salt here. For there are others mentioned in connection with the post of j national committeeman, including ; Julian Price, president of the Jefferson Standard Life Insur I ance company of Greensboro, and I Major L. P. 3\IcLondon, now also Lof Greensboro, though formerly : of Durham, also J. 0. Carr of ; Wilmington, who many think will j be more acceptable to the ex ecutive committee than Shuping. In fact, the principal objection to Shuping is not that he is not able and efficient—he proved he ! was both of these when he was campaign manager for Senator i J. W. Hailev in his campaign I against Senator F. M. Simmons— J but the fear that he will be too j inclined to look out for the inter ' e:-ts of Shuping. Senator Bailey and Congressman W. 15. Umstead of Durham first, and of the ! Democratic party as a whole only 1 incidentally. Those who know I Shuping and who have followed his style of politics, maintain that he belongs to the old school of politicians who took cave of their friends and who were ruthless with those who opposed them. The more politically minded main ; tain that the reason Shuping j wants to be national committce i man is that this post would vir tually give him, Senator Hailey and "Congressman Umstead. who is regarded as being very close to him, control over the distribution of federal patronage in the stale. This in turn, it is maintained, would make it possible for Shup ing to build ud a oowerful po litical machine, with Greensboro as its hub. similar to the old Watts machine in Statesville that, was ?o valuable to former Sena tor Simmons, thac might be ab'c to keep Senator Railey and Con gressman Umntead in office in definitely. Some think it might even transfer the political capital from Raleigh to Greensboro. ce»* tainly as far as patronage is con eerned, and that this is one of the things that is desired. That Shu pine: has been un usually successful in taking car« of his political friends, also him self, with pie from Chairman .Jim Farley's patronage pie counter, i* readily agreed. In fact, the phe nomenal success Shuning has had so far in getting jobs for his friends—and tone for himself if being cited By all except those who are backing Shuping for na tional committeeman as one of the big reasons why he should not be given this nost. For many maintain that if he did get the job, no one would stand a chance to get anything unless he bowed down 1o the Shuping-Bailey-Uin stead triumverate and agreed to become a part of take orders from their organization. So far Shuping is credited with having obtained seven federal jobs—<<ne for himself and six for as many of his political friends—siDce the Roosevelt administration went, in to Dower. These seven persons, and the jobs they hold, are as follows: 0. I.eRov Shuping, appointed as attorney for the receiver of the Commercial National Rank of High Point, regarded as an un usuually lucrative appointment.] and formerly held bv Russell Robinson, Republican, attorney, of Greensboro. This appoint ment is regarded by many as be ing muuch more desirable than a full-time federal iob, since it. is expected to be even more lucra tive and at the same time will permit Shuping to retain his oth er Jaw practice and stay in Greensboro, thus enabling him v.;<5 rvrjifipsii Hunks in a. BEGIN HERE TODAY On a stormv November evening DAVID BANNISTER meets a pretty blond girl and offer* her a lift In the cab In which he Is riding. Her handbng opens and he sees n revolver Inside. Next morning Dannlster read* that TRACY KINO, orchestra leader, has been found dead in liis apartment. Police are search ing for an "unknown blond," who visited Kins the night before. Rannister. remembering the girl In the taxlcab, Is puzzled. lie sees her aKain that morn ing. The girl tells liini her name la JliUGT FRANCE and swears she knows nothing of the mur der. She hejis Rannister to help ber and he agrees. He tcoes to see his old friend, j JIM PAXTON, editor of the Trr- | nmnt Post, and arranges to work on the King murder ease for the Post. I.ater he returns to the hotel to see Juliet France and learns she has disappeared. Rannister goes to sec the room In which Kin;; died, atid finds sin i object which he puts In his pocket. MRS. KENNEBEC, who lives In the hotel, tells Rannister about the violent qu.'irrcl King had recently with MEIA'INA HOI.LISTER, spinster, who lives In the wpjirtnientbelow King'*. ■! Rannister takes 'n car downdown, J pulls frum bin pocket the object he found in King's room. NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XI f^NE side of the cardboard was gray and discolored. Bannister I I :urned it over and studied the j photograph on the other side. It R'as a photograph of a man and a woman—the man sitting down, the voman standing, with one hand •esting on his shoulder. It must have been taken 25 or ■ 30 years before. The woman's ; iress was white, a rather elabor lte dress with ruffled 6kirt reacti ng to the floor and lace about the nodestly cut neck. A style of dress ivorn, Bannister thought, in the ?arly 1900's. In her arm she held i bouquet of roses. She was a pretty woman, young looking. The man beside her was older. He appeared rather formidable in I His black suit which must have j Deen the utmost In elegance for its i lay. His dark hair, in Bannister's Judgment, was badly in need of j trimming. Bannister would have | dispensed with the heavy mus | :ache, too. It was, beyond all doubt, a wed ding picture. No need to take in such details as the bridal bouquet pr the sprig of orange blossoms pinned in the young wofnan's :otffure. * v Yes, an old-fashioned wedding* picture. A curious thing to ttnd with the golf clubs and cocktail shaker and stack of "blues" songs in the bedroom of the dead orches tra leader. Bannister studied the faces in the photograph. Neither, so far as he could see, resembled Tracy King. He did not know why he had put the photograph iu his pocket ex cept that he wanted to study it further and Link's coming had pre vented that. He looked at the bot tom of the card and read, "Swann Studio," in flowing gilt script. Bo low In smaller letters was the i name of a town he had never heard 1 of, located in another state. For several moments Bannister 1 looked at the two faces. Then he gave it up. There was certainly nothing in that old photograph to give him any information about Tracy King's murder. Nothing whatever. He slipped the picture back into his pocket and thought that, as an amateur detective, he was probably the world's worst. » • • CTILL he had the story of Mel Vina Hollister'a quarrel with row. Thomas Turner, Jr., -of High Point. Guilford county, also ap pointed as attorney for the re ceiver of the Commercial Na tional Hank of High Point, who will assist Shuping. It ls expected that this appointment may greatly help Turner in be coming speaker of the house of the 1935 general assembly, for which he is regarded as a candi date, since it will probably as surce him the support of the Shuping organization. Charles 11. Robinson of Hills boro, appointed as collector of internal revenue for North Caro lina, largely through the influ ence of Shuping, Pailey and Um stead, according to current be lief. He has long been identified with sixth congressional district politics and is regarded as being unuusually friendly to the Shup ing faction in Guilford county and Greensboro. James Roane. Greensboro, ap pointed as cuustodian of the Guilford Pattleground, for which he is reported to be gptting a salary of $1460 a year and a house in addition to the position which he is said to continue to hold as a salesman with Lewis and Hall, an investment house. Roane has long been regarded as a member of the inner circle of the Shuping faction and one of the mo.-t active supporters of Congressman Umstead in Guil ford county, with strong business and political contacts over the entire state. Eric W. Rodgers, formerly a King. Apparently the police had not heard of that. Not that Ban nister himself considered It im portant. Probably Mrs. Kennebec had exaggerated the whole thing, as women are likely to do who have little to occupy their time except gossip. On the other hand, Bannister reasoned, the story might have its importance. It helped to piece to gether the background of Tracy King's life during the past few days. Practical detectives, he knew, always tried to do that. They considered every detail, al most as though they were linger ing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, then went to work, fitting the details together. Bannister felt ratber proud of himself. He had some thing with which he could go to Captain McNeal now and say, "Here's a tip I picked up that may be worth looking into—" ' The photograph In his pocket, on the other hand, wasn't worth mentioning. He'd keep that to himself. Bannister was thinking of Mc Neal and the tip he had to offer him when another thought inter rupted. It had been a tip for Mc Neal that had sent Bannister walk ing down town that morning, the plaguey question whether or not to tell the detective about the girl in the taxicab. Bannister smiled wrily. Well, she had been a slick one and he had fallen completely for her guile! He had fallen so completely that, looking about Tracy King's rooms an hour or so earlier, he had actually searched for the memorandum she had said she lost there. What nonsense! As though he didn't kuow every word she had spoken was false! "And if you'd found It," Ban nister berated himself, "I suppose you'd have kept it for her." Well, there was no note there. There never had been such a note. 'T'HE car jolted to a halt to let a passenger off. t Bannister no ticed that they were on a street lined with low, rather dingy look ing shops. In five minutes more they would reach tho business dis trict. The sky was getting dark now. It must be well after five o'clock. He glanced at his watch. Right —it wa- almost 5:30. For tho first time Bannister remembered that he had not eaten since morning. How long ago that seemed! "I'll have to call Aunt Kate," he told himself. "Better do it first thing. I'll tell her not to expect me for dinner." Now that he had gotten into this thing he hadn't the faintest notion of stopping. He would go first to the Evening Post office to find out what had happened in his absence. Maybe Paxton would he there. He felt the intense necessity of "chin ning over" the day's events. He j was still behind on many of the details of Tracy,.King's death and wanted to ask questions. iJainey or Cunningham could tell him what he wanted to know. The car turned into a wider street. Shop windows were already lighted and made tho sky seem darker. Night had descended with the turn of that corner. Thij was down town Tremont—a thorough fare on which ranged several small dress shops; a furniture store; a chain grocery store with a red front and another painted green; a second-rate hotel and a huge vacant building.

Bannister rode two more blocks, * then left the car. The newsboy on the nearest corner was shouting unintelligible cries from which the word "murder" could be dis- ^ tinguished. Bannister bought a ;f Post and walked on. The black type across the first ; 4*. page of the newspaper declared, "Scurlach Denies King Murder." There was a photograph of a man walking beside a policeman, shield- J * ing his face so that it could not ! ^ be seen. That, no doubt, was Scur- • to lach. There was a photograph of }«f a letter and, grouped below, were . .. pictures of Carlotta Scurlach and |#) Denise Lang and a larger one of Tracy King. The photographs took <5,' up a jood part of the page but at the left in two column measure, £. set in large type, was an account 1" of Herman Scurlach's arrest and m his denial of the crime. >6* A T THE top of the column were ' the words, "By J. Randolph tj* Gainey." Bannister read hastily as J3 he walked. There was nothing that , was new to him In the story ex* cept the facts that Scurlach was a plasterer by trade, that he and Jij Carlotta had been married for two years and that they lived at an !(<? address on Waverlv Ave. :•> In another column Bannister read, "Search Continues for Miss- • § j ing Blond." There was nothing new beneath that headline either.-'1'' A description of the girl wanted '* in connection with the King mur der, so the account read, had been broadcast to city and county au- * thorities throughout nearby states. ** Her apprehension could be only a matter of hours now. Still—there "> was not the slightest clow of her whereabouts. f "She's a slick one," Bannlstei reminded himself, and thought • that the htllow feeling that came over him must be due to going without his lunch. ' He turned iuto the Evening Post t building. Tho elevator was not In sight so he climbed the stairs. Two flights. His breath was coming In <• deep 'putt's when he reached the * top. After all, he certainly wasn't : as young as he had been. He pushed through the gate .■< i erected to keep bothersome vis- x i itors from the editorial depart ! ment. The place was half in dark- '' ness, lighted o-ly by two low-hung, : green-shaded lamps. For a moment I he thought there was no one there. Then he made out two figures—a man bending over the drinking fountain in the corner and. at a desk, crouching awkwardly behind tho open pages of a newspaper— : Gainey! Bannister felt a rush of jubilance as ho crossed the floor. "HI ! there, Gainey!" he called. "How ' about going out to have something to eat?" The younger man shifted his legs i from tho table to the floor, varied the angle of his felt hat. "Suite me," he said without change ol expression. "Where'd you want to go?" JjJ In a small restaurant two block* away they found a table for twe. Gainey, who had had little to say during the walk to the restaurant, leaned forward. :?■ «• I "I went out to see that Scurlach dame after you left," he confided. k. j "Did you get a story from her?" "I'll Eay 1 did!" The reporter'*"*' face was suddenly animated. "And what a story!" . .
