Can you solve this mystery
""this nailed window?
tT IS remarkable," Harvey Hunt
1 mused, "te what Ingenuities the
criminal mind will resort te renke n
Jhlne which we knew te be n fact np
near Impossible. It seems te be nn
Sb"s.len with a certain type of mur
derer, If he can leave hi victim In a
inm 1 securely locked en the Inside, that
he Is safe,"
Tm," agreed DeKyne, looking up
from hU book at the premise of soma
reminiscences from the criminal Invei Invei
tlirater, "I remember your story of the
belted room, In which the murderer shot
the belt behind him by reentu of n loop
of string passed between the deer and
thc sash.
"Here's a similar case," said Hunt.
He thumbed the pages of the diary en
thc tabic before him, and continued :
"I won't bother you with names and
dates. It wasn't really a sensational
Csc, and thc attendant circumstances
erc sordid. But these were the facts :
"A man was found snot through thc
lead. Ile was found In n room nppar
ntly belted and locked securely en the
fnsiae. The assumption upon casual In
spection, but only upon casual Inspec
tion, was that he had committed suicide.
JJut thc bullet hfld entered his forehead
nnd there were no powder marks en the
ftkln. Anether suspicious circumstance,
the revolver was quite free from finger
prints. As the dead man were no
gloves, hew could he have evdlded lenv
ing thc mark of his hand en It? Unless
he had worn gloves and had nn arm
many feet long he could net have shot
himself without leaving fingerprints and
ponder marks.
"Se wc assumed murder, and found
s man against whom there wan over
whelming circumstantial evidence. The
only gap in the chnln was hew he get
out of the room leaving it barred en the
jnside. He wasn't clever enough te hce
the obvious conclusions we'd draw from
the absence of powder marks end finger
prints, but I'll have te ndmit he showed
brains in closing that room behind him.
"There was one deer, and one win
dow. The deer was locked, with the
kev en the Inside. It was the sort of
lock that might have been manipulated
from thc outside with a pair of thin
fertcps, but there were no scratches,
even under microscopic examination, te
show that thlH had been done. IlesldcH
there was much heavy furniture piled
against it en the iqsldc. Yeu tee, it
was a deer that opened inward.
"The window weh securely fastened
were ICO- or mere firemen and n com
pany at iire cadets. The American
Legien Tent a delegation nnd the Navy
Yard a detachment of sailors te form
a firing squad. Frnnkferd Arsenal also
had representation'.
Among these who lowed the body at
thc home were several persons for whom
Sherman had given bleed, Including one
woman whose llfe was sacd some years
age, but who had never seen her bene bene
fucter In life. Klernl tributes were re
ceived from many organizations In the
city.
Mr, Sherman served In the Ueval

also, by nails. In the louver ash h
nail had been driven right through the
window frame at right angles, Inte thc
groove In which it was raised and low

through the wdedwbrk of the upper
window, with the exception that It was
driven downward nt an angle of about
ferty-five degrees. Neither window
could be budged until the nails were
extracted.
"The window panes themselves had
