2. Hazel presents her case to Henry Shotwell, Henderson's leading attorney, who agrees to represent her in a suit against Joanne for "alienation of affections."
3. Meanwhile, Nathan Walsh — Arthur's lav
settled at the Motor Haven— offered to drop her suit against Joanne, provided the Motor Haven would be turned over to her. The proposal seemed preposterous but, surprisingly, Joanne was tempted to agree to it. Perhaps, she thought, it might bring her some measure of happiness, bring her closer and more quickly to marriage with Arthur. But the wise Nathan, still suspicious, finally convinced Joanne that this was not the way — that happiness could not be bought by blackmail. . . . This decision proved to be the best one, for Harry Morton's investigation had met with success. He had uncovered absolute proof that Hazel was not Arthur's wife but his dead wife's twin sister, Sue. . . . Like sunshine after rain, the world suddenly seemed bright again for Joanne and Arthur as, with this proof to rely on, they eagerly planned to be married immediately. But, said Nathan, that joyous occasion would have to be postponed — for the resourceful attorney had indisputable evidence that, behind "Hazel" and her nefarious activities, there was a powerful and ruthless group of gangsters trying to get the Motor Haven for criminal purposes — though he didn't know that Mortimer Higbee was a prominent member of this gang. Nathan realized
that Joanne's and Arthur's happiness would always be in jeopardy, until this evil threat to the Motor Haven had been overcome for all time. With Joanne's and Arthur's help, Nathan planned to capitalize on their knowledge of the false Hazel's real identity and use her to lead them to the higher-ups in the gang which was threatening the security of the Motor Haven. In the face of Nathan Walsh's powerful arguments, Joanne and Arthur finally gave in. . . . Nathan promptly proceeded to set the trap for "Hazel" by placing the real Hazel's diary in "Hazel's" room. The plan had its desired effect, for when "Hazel" came upon the diary she was filled with terror at the thought of being found out, and her conscience began to plague her as she recalled how her sister had died — when she, her own flesh and blood, could have saved her and didn't. Frantic, "Hazel" tried unsuccessfully to contact Mortimer Higbee, who had been responsible for bringing her to Henderson. But Nathan foiled her plans and, to further his own, supplied her with a bottle of whiskey, "Hazel's" greatest weakness. He knew this would loosen her tongue and induce her to confess — but he also knew there had to be some greater impetus to initiate that confes
