The will mentions most of the rela- tives who come off handsomely, and just as they are congratulating each other on their good fortune the lawyer reads two codicils attached to the will. Marvin Ryder states that he knows positively that he is going to be murdered. So he sets aside Sl0,00D for the expense of appre- hending his murderer and the same sum for the person or persons who capture the criminal! Things begin to happen.
