John Ross kept the news under his tan Stetson and went to work. He discovered that right after the murder Kirkes had ordered his coupe repainted, though the garage man insisted it didn't need paint. That same week the big patrolman grabbed an air hose away from a service station man and cleaned out the rear compartment of his car himself. Moreover, a faint mark on the dead girl's legs looked like the pattern of a rear-compartment floor mat found only in Ford coupes. The mat in Kirkes' 1939 Ford was missing...

The group had been attacked twice before in La Sarre-once by a crowd, once by a pressure hose of the town fire department. The pattern was familiar in many towns of French Canada during the past decade since Baptists and other Protestant groups have stepped up their efforts to organize churches in the solidly Catholic towns and villages.
