The Thirteenth Chair The class of June, 1935, on May 18th, presented a stirring drama, The Thirteenth Chair. Edward Wales is murdered at the home of Roscoe Crosby, in the midst of a seance conducted by Rosalie La Grange, a spiritualistic medium. Since the thirteen persons present at the time were locked in for the seance, it follows that the murderer must have been one of those in the room. Tim Donohue, the detective, can not find the knife that the murderer used, but all the evidence points to Helen O'Neill, young Crosby's fiancee, and daughter of Rosalie La Grange, as the murderer. Rosalie, however, accidentally locates the knife, and clears her daughter by frightening the murderer, Philip Mason, into a confession.
