"Is this the key you lent to Doris, Wickett 1" Dundee asked.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir. From November, 1927, to May, 1928, sir.”
"That is, until Mrs. Crosby's death?"
"Yes, sir. Before that, I had been with Mr. and Mrs. Van Renssalaer Lambert for nine years. When Mr. Lambert died in September 1927, Mrs. Lambert found herself finan cially unable to keep up an estab-

Milder Than Shakespeare, One speaker compared "Lady Chatterley's Lover" with Shakes- peare's works.
He declared the late D. H. Law- rence, the author, wrote books which were mild compared with Shakespear's "King Lear."
Senator Cutting, chief opponert of the amendment, pointed to a copy of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" lying on Senator Smoot's desk, and accused him of avidly rending it.
The infuriated Mr. Smoot retort- ed that he had only read the first pages to obtain an idea of the indecent nature of the work,
"The book is so disgusting and.. vile, that reading one page is enough for any decent-minded per- son," said Mr. Smoot

"Was he in love with his wife?" Dundee interrupted.
"To the point of infatuation, sir! And Miss Phyllis adored him."
"Wickett, do you yourself know anything at all, beyond what came out at the inquest, regarding Mrs. Crosby's death, or the causes leading up to it?"
"Absolutely nothing sir! I could only believe she had gone temperar- ily and suddenly insane. She was going to have a child, you know, sir."
"That's all for the present, Wick- ett.... And thank you very much. Will you please tell Mr. Crosby to come to us here?"
The butler bowed and was de- parting when Dundee stopped him. "One thing more, Wickett. Can you give me the full name and address of Doris's sister, Kathy?"
