(King glances at Miss Brown suddenly, as she raises her voice during her last remark, then turns to Bart.)
King—Have you seen the papers?
Bart—I've been afraid to look at them for fear of reading something about her.
King—(Turning to counter.) Bring me a Gazette, boy. (Hands coin.) No change. Go along.
Boy—(Impudently.) The woods is full of 'em.
King—(Looking at paper.) I guess you're in for it, Bart.
Bart—(In a stifled voice.) What—what is it?
King—This suicide. I never connected it with you. The body of an unknown woman was found at the Riverton dam this afternoon. She was about thirty-eight years old, five feet five, had light brown hair—does that fit your Selina?
Bart—I don't think Selina was more than five feet three or four, and she can't be thirty. She told me herself she was only twenty-six. (Puts out a shaking hand for the paper.) Let me see.
King—(Holding paper.) The newspaper description may not be accurate Bart, but all her underclothing was marked with initials. That is the clue the police are working on.
