Frank, well-to-do Brooklyn poul- 33m
try dealer, pulled his car up be- Sm
fore his Alabama avenue home and with
a flip of the finger cut the ignition. Dous- :
ing his headlights, he picked up from the *
seat a large paper bag. Frank made sure 3
he had a good grip on it before he opened
the door. He was taking no chances be-
cause a week’s receipts of $600 was noth-
ing to be careless about.

Still humming he slid out of the car
and then suddenly froze in his tracks, his
merry tune sticking in his throat. A cold
chill, colder than the biting January air,
circuited through him. In his ribs he felt
the pointed muzzle of a gun.

From behind him came a voice, harsh,
grating, deadly. “Let go of that dough if
you want to go on living!”

Clutching his money bag all the
tighter, Frank swung around, enraged,
ignoring the weapon that was ready to
utter his death. Two figures in heavy
black overcoats, their faces hidden by
low-brimmed hats, glared at him men-
acingly. Their jaws were taut, their guns
leveled at his heart. One of them grabbed
at the bag.

Frank jumped back and swung a heavy
balled fist against: the face of the
grabber.

But whatever satisfaction the 50-year-
old dealer may have felt at having struck
the meaty jam, it was short-lived. For a
split second later the gunman’s weapon
kicked twice and gushed forth a blaze of
death.

Wordlessly, Isadore Frank pitched
backward, clutching in his dying agony
the gains of his daily toil. His head
cracked against the cold pavement but
he never felt the pain. His assailants dis-
appeared as silently and ‘as suddenly as
they had appeared.

In less than two minutes a crowd had
collected around the body ; somebody had

put in hysterical calls for police and an
ambulance.

Radio Patrolmen William Giatinni and
Albert Marohn kept back the growing
crowd as Dr. Lester Drubin, Beth E]
hospital ambulance surgeon, made a
rapid examination of the body.

“No use disturbing him,” he told the
officers. “This is a case for the medical
examiner.”

Fifteen minutes later, at 6:20, on that
evening of Jan. 13, 1938, Medical Ex-
aminer M. E. Marten arrived together
with Detective Capt. William Sullivan,
Assistant District Attorney Lewis Jo-
sephs and Detectives William King,
Harry States, Harry Beck and Henry
Senft.

Dr. Marten made a brief but careful

and the

examination of the motionless poultry
dealer whose eyes were staring from
sightless sockets.
‘“Heart’s been perforated by a couple
of .38’s,” he muttered. “I’ll give you com-
plete details soon’s I do the autopsy.”
The official photographers began

“shooting” away from all angles, snaring .

everything within range of their sensitive
lenses. Fingerprint experts went over the
car from which Frank had stepped to his
doom, while King and Beck began ques-
tioning a number of persons in the
crowd.
Giatinni handed a soiled gray hat to
Sullivan who was questioning the sob-
bing, hysterical wife of the victim. It
was not a hew hat, the captain saw at

'a glance. Its size was seven and a quar-

ter. The silk lining inside bore the maker’s
name.

Doubtless, it belonged to one of the
killers, for Frank’s hat was lying but a
few inches away from his bleeding head.

“Find anything else?” Josephs asked,
while Sullivan continued studying the hat.

“Yes, sir. This bag of money. It was
beneath the victim’s left arm.”

A peek inside the bag revealed a bulky
roll of bills as well as rolls of wrapped
change. The sight of the bag caused the
woman to sob all the louder.

“Was your husband in the habit of
carrying money around like this?” Jo-
sephs inquired.

Without looking up from her tear-
soaked handkerchief, the woman said with
difficulty that lately her husband had

asked him to examine the pictures and
compare them with Montague, sitting
in another office,

“I'm pretty sure it’s the same guy,”

said McCuaig. :

“Captain Cook agreed. So did I, but
even then, we couldn’t be sure. We
must watch our step. False accusa-
tion or arrest meant “curtains” for us.
We entered the office where Montague,
now a trifle ill-at-ease, waited.

“What is your name?” I asked.

“John Montague.”

“How long have you lived in Cali-
fornia?” .

“I first came out here in 1916. I’ve
lived here continuously, though, for
the past five or six years... What's
all this about? Those details aren’t
necessary to establish the fact that I
haven’t been in an accident, are they?”

I took a deep breath. “Forget the

The cherubic smile faded from his
face. For the first time, his eyes held
a suggestion of apprehension. He said
nothing. F

“Have you ever been in New York
City?”

He nodded.

“In Syracuse, New York?”

Another nod.

“In the town of Jay, Essex County?”

“I don’t know all the counties in
New York State,” he replied.

“Ever been in a roadhouse—run by
aman named Kin Hana?”

“I don’t know what all this means,”
he said with a frown of bewilderment.
“I came out here from Florida because
I had mining interests in this state.
By the way, I have an early golf en-
gagement. Is there a telephone I
might use to cancel it?”

I waved him to the phone, keeping
my eyes on him. He telephoned his
frend, a nationally known bridge ex-
pert, told him that he was delayed at
the Sheriff’s office and could not keep
their date. When he returned to his
chair— ,

“Were you ever known as LaVerne
Moore?” I shot at him.

“No!” There was an odd look in his
eyes, a peculiar tightening of his small,
feminine mouth.

He told me, replying to other ques-
tions, that he would shortly be 33
years old, that he weighed 215 pounds
and was almost six feet tall. Allowing
for the changes seven years might
cause, these items tallied with those
forwarded by Inspector Lynch. I felt
sure now that the man we wanted sat
before us.

“Aren’t you wanted in New York
State for robbery?”

I do not think the question took him
wholly by surprise, although he half-
shouted his answer: “No!”

“Then—” the crucial. moment was at
hand—“you surely won’t mind if I take
a look at your finger-tips, will you?”

He hesitated, ever so slightly; then
thrust his right hand toward me.

Now, I am no finger-print expert but
even the veriest novice would have
agreed with me as I glanced through a
finger-print glass at Montague’s right
thumb, index, middle and ring fingers.
The first three were definitely loops;
the ring finger was a whorl pattern,
These corresponded exactly ‘with the

Attorney Jerry Giesler, representing

Montague, argued for reduction of the.

bail. Judge Guerin fixed it at $10,000
and set the fugitive hearing for July
26, after Giesler said his client refused
to waive extradition. This amount was
posted at once. As his references, Mon-
tague gave Oliver Hardy, Bing Crosby,
Guy Kibbee and Attorney George
Clark who was also in court with him.

In the bail-bond brokers’ offices,
Hardy was waiting. He greeted the
mystery golfer with a hearty hand-
shake and the statement that John
Montague was one of the finest fellows
that had ever lived. Also waiting was
Mrs. Esther Plunkett, slim, dark-
haired widow of No. 606 North Cam-
den Drive, Beverly Hills.

Montague gave his occupation as
mining engineer and said that his fa-
ther was Matthew Moore, of No. 318
Stolp Avenue, Syracuse, New York.

‘His attorneys immediately began the
battle against extradition, declaring
that Monty would be backed by “sub-
stantial people” in his fight. As soon
as he left the brokers’ offices, Monta-
gue, swearing he was not worried, set
out for a round of golf.

went to investigate a complaint filed
by a Mrs. Miriam Siratkin, who lived
in a rooming-house at No. 748 Greene

little girl Irma, aged eight, had been
molested by a man named Lawrence
Marks, occupant with his wife of the
adjoining furnished room. No serious
harm had been done to Irma. But the

the benefit of the doubt.”

A day or so after Montazue’s ar-
raignment, we sent to Sacramento for
photostatic copies of his application ior
an operator’s license so that we might
compare them with samples of his
handwriting forwarded from the East.
A handwriting expert, after cursory
examination, said that he could not
positively connect the two but that, in
the Sacramento application, there was
an apparent attempt to disguise the
writing.

CAPTAIN BROADFIELD wired that

he would send witnesses to Cali-
fornia with extradition officers: and
that he was taking all the steps neces-
sary for extradition. He also informed
us that Norton and Carleton had been
sent to Clinton prison for. their parts
in the holdup. Norton is now paroled.
Under the New York laws, Montague
faces a maximum prison term of fif-
teen years if convicted.

One item that puzzled the movie col-
ony was the fact that, when arrested,
Montague had but $43 on his person
instead of the large roll of bills he in-
variably flashed. Where and how he
had been getting the money to keep
up with the luxury-loving' screen lu-
minaries, he flatly refused to state. But
he dropped the aura of mystery sur-
rounding him for so many years and
cheerfully posed for news pictures.

He expressed eagerness to appear in
police and sheriff’s show-ups when it
was intimated that the office of District
Attorney Buron Fitts might attempt
to connect him with local robberies.
However, we felt that the man had
already been in the best show-up
available. His pictures had been
printed in practically every newspaper
in the country—certainly all the Los
Angeles papers had run dozens of his
photographs—and no one had come
forward with the merest suggestion
that he resembled anyone participat-
ing in local crimes.

We were, therefore, convinced he
was telling the truth when he said:

“I can account for every moment
of my time since I arrived in Los
Angeles.”

On July 24, three New York State
law-enforcement officers arrived
armed with extradition papers and
evidence they claim will definitely link
Montague-Moore with the Essex Coun-
ty robbery. The trio—Essex County

Sheriff Percy T. Egglefield, Sergeant °

P. D. McGinnis and Trooper H. C.
Durand of the New York State Police
—stated that they were as fully deter-
mined to fight for the mysterious
sportsman’s extradition as he was to
battle against it.

At the preliminary hearing, on July
26, Municipal Judge Wilbur Curtis
granted a continuance to August 9,
when Attorney Giesler announced:

“We ask for a continuance of this
case because Governor Merriam has
not yet acted on the extradition pro-
ceedings. I request a continuance for
ten days. In the meantime, I am sure
Governor Merriam will decide one way
or another.”

But before the Governor acted,
Montague voluntarily waived extradi-
tion and returned to New York with
the officers. At Elizabethtown he was
released on $25,000 bail in the pres-
ence of cinema stars. Pending trial, he
hurried to his ailing mother.

It is the sequel to a previous horror,

Detectives of the Wilson Avenue
station—the same detectives who had
nabbed Ossido so promptly in March—
fell back on their best bet in a,case
of this kind. They- began a roundup
of all the known degenerates in their
precinct. But they were not destined
to arrive at an easy solution.

They worked from a special file. es-
tablished six years ago, when the first
of six similar slayings occurred in the
general neighborhood. The cases had
been as follows:

as unsolved.

in many of the birds of evil on the
list, though some had offenses pinned
on them and were sent up after the
barber’s arrest. Now more than 100
suspects were taken to Wilson Avenue
within 24 hours -and_ relentlessly
grilled. At one time 20 men, some of
them Negroes, were waiting in line to
be questioned by Deputy Chief In-
spector John J. Gallagher and Fred
Kopf, Assistant District Attorney.

It is appalling that 100 such crea-
tures could be culled at short notice in
a single precinct—and I am about to
quote some still more startling figures.
I do not blame the police for their
presence. The police did their utmost
at the time of the March drive, but
could not be expected to “get’’ the en-
tire crew under conditions that would
insure convictions for new crimes. I
do condemn the legislators for failing
to rush through laws that provided for
the constant supervision of sex de-
fectives. All of such defectives should
have been sterilized, for reasons which
I’have made clear time and again in
this series. The more dangerous ones
should have been incarcerated on the

suredly they had no notion of what

physical type they ought to seek.

I did have such a notion. My study
of endocrino-criminology, the science
of analyzing crime according to the
malfunctioning of the ductless glands,
has taught me that the delinquent in-
variably looks his part. A rapist is a
hyperthyroid, influenced by thymus.
He is a “bad boy,” cruel, ruthless—
not necessarily very perverted. But a
rapist who assaults young children is
nothing less than a monster. This is
generally caused by parathyroid dis-
turbances added to his original equip-
ment of violence; in a few cases there

is pituitary trouble instead of para-’

thyroid. :

If the hyphen is pituitary the fiend
will be corpulent, moon-faced, on top
of his hyperthyroid appearance. Os-
sido was like that, and so was Frank
Flynn; the last-named featured by me
in this series about a year ago.

The parathyroid stigma occurs in a
much larger number of instances and
produces a strikingly different physical
type. One knows the fellow: at a
glance. He is thin, with a long and
pointed nose, a -drooling mouth,
prominent veins in the temples, and a
general expression which may be de-
scribed as ratlike. The eyes are apt
to be prominent and the eyebrows
thick, though this does not always

her life. Dressed in inexpensive clothes
without identifying labels, she was hat-
less; and police had been unable to find
any handbag or purse, There was no
jewelry on her; nothing to give the
slightest indication of who she might be.

Five feet, six inches tall and fairly
slender, she appeared to have been in
her late twenties.

“There is only one thing,” Manning
said. “L noticed two tiny marks, one on

evening, hundreds of people passed
through the undertaking parlor. But no
one had ever seen the victim before. A
check with the missing persons bureaus
in nearby centers was fruitless. The

out the faintest conception of who the
victim was, why she had been killed, or
who had killed her. The inspector
summed it up neatly.

“There is no point,” he said, ‘in look-
ing for a killer when we don’t know who
has been killed, rom the appearance of
her clothes, i would almost rule out
robbery as a possible motive. This girl
was not wealthy. Also, she was struck
time and again. She must have been
unconscious long before her assailant
stopped beating her. And with the excep-

tion of the beating she took, she was not
molested in any other way. This leaves
us but one motive. The killer hated
her and wanted her out of the way.
But before worrying anymore about
that let’s discover who this woman is.”

A telegraphed record of her finger-
prints failed to uncover a lead. But In-
spector Cosart was unwilling to wait
until someone might come in to make an
identification, or until a Inissing: persons
‘report, might drift to his office. He
turned to Manning.

“Sergeant, we believe this wont

area around the place where we found
the body hay been roped off, Search that
spot. Spend an hour or a day or a week.
But dig up something which will give
us a clue.”

Lights from a dozen flashes stabbed
through the bleak blackness of the night.
The twin beams of two squad cars dis-
pelled some of the gloom as the troopers
worked. But now, long after midnight,
their search .was still futile.

It was Manning who at last walked
away from the others. Alone he started
down the road. His strong flash cut along
the grass at the left side, Some 300 yards
from the spot where the body had been
discovered he suddenly leaned down. His
hand came up holding a twisted and
shattered pair of glasses. Quickly Man-
ning called to the others,

spending all their spare time on it. They.
went to see the manager of the Marinello
school here and showed her pictures of
the victim. They believe the woman you
are trying to identify was a student at the
Schenectady branch back in 1938 and 1939.
If they’re right, the name you're looking
for is Rose O’Connell. She was graduated
from the school, but married instead of
going into business.”

The Troop D inspector interrupted to
say the initials on the dead woman’s ring
were “R.O.P.”

“I’m coming to that,” the Albany editor
told him. “The man she married was
named Patane. That works out, Rose
O’Connell Patane.”

Cosart knew this could be the lead he
had been hoping for. “What was this man
Patane’s first name and where was he
from?” the inspector asked.

“The Marinello school manager doesn’t

remember Patane’s first name,” the news-
paperman said, “but she thinks he was
from Watervliet. I have my correspondent
there checking all the Patanes now.”

Inspector Cosart didn’t wait for the
editor to hear from his correspondent. He
sent Manning and Sargenti hurrying to
Watervliet, nearly 200 miles east of the
mucklands where the frozen corpse had
been found.

By the time the officers arrived there
the newspaper correspondent had impor-
tant information. “Patane’s first name is
Joseph,” he told the troopers. “He and his
wife lived in an apartment at 1901 Broad-
way. They had a little girl. The owner
of the building has identified the picture
of the dead woman as Mrs. Rose Patane!”

Manning and Sargenti went to the
Broadway address and talked with the
owner, who confirmed the correspondent’s
story and added that Mrs. Patane had been

wearing clothing such as the troopers de-
scribed when she was last seen on No-
vember 29.

“Mr. Patane gave up the apartment that
day,” the owner said. “He told me they
were going to take a little motor trip as
a-vacation and then go and live with his
people in Canastota.”

The apartment house owner went on to
say the Patanes had left a sewing ma-
chine, a trunk and some household articles
there after telling her they would be
back for them later.

“I liked Mrs. Patane,” this witness told
the investigators, “and looked forward to
seeing her again. But her husband came
back alone. That was Sunday, December
13. He took his own clothes, but left his
wife’s things, the trunk and sewing ma-
chine. He told me I could have them,
which I thought was strange at the time.”

“Do you know where this man Patane
worked while he lived here?” Manning
asked.

“He was a truck driver for a produce
company over at Menands,” the apartment
house owner said, naming the business
establishment.

The state investigators thanked the
woman and asked her not to say anything
about their visit. The Watervliet cor-
respondent for the Albany paper promised
to hold his story.

Sergeant Manning called Inspector
Cosart and told him about these latest
developments. The Troop D commander
said he would contact Inspector Edward
O. Hageman, in charge of District G, the
Troy area covering both Watervliet and
Menands. Sgt. Fred Schoonmaker and
Trooper Harry Scoville were already
checking when Manning and Sargenti got
to Menands.

These Troop G. officers said Joseph
Patane had also gone under the name of
Joseph Mascari. He had reported for work
at the produce company the Monday after
the frozen corpse had been found on
Thursday, December 10, but left without
taking his truck out. That was the day
after he’d picked up his clothes in Water-
viiet.

“Patane told his boss he had a cold,”
Sergeant Schoonmaker informed Manning
and Sargenti. “The produce people didn’t
hear from him again until Tuesday, the
15th, when a woman called to say Joe was
still sick. That’s the last word they had
about him.”

When Patane could not be located in
Watervliet, Manning and Sargenti hurried
back to Canastota after being assured by
Troop G and Watervliet officers they
would be on the alert for the much
wanted man.

A check with Madison County town
clerks turned up a man who said there
was a Tony Mascari, RFD, Canastota, who
owned a farm near Lenox. Vital statis-
tics in that town showed a birth cer-
tificate for one Joseph Mascari, born
August 2, 1911.

“That date puts him in the draft regis-
tration class,” Manning said. “Maybe we
can get a better line on him from those
records.”

Checking all Joseph Mascaris and
Joseph Patanes, the officers found a man
using the latter name had registered in
Watervliet in October, 1940. This Joseph
Patane had given his address as 1425
Broadway and changed it later the follow-
ing year to 1901 Broadway.

Both Manning and Sargenti knew their
efforts were beginning to pay off. Infor-
mation supplied by this Patane when he
registered said he had no physical defects
and almost no formal schooling. He listed
his occupation as truck driver for the

Menands produce company. Additional
data included his marriage on April 8,
1939, at Mt. Moriah, N. Y. His wife’s
name was Rose. There was one daughter
and a nephew and niece were down as
dependents along with the wife and
daughter. The registrant stated he had no
police record and had never been in any
branch of the armed services.

Added to this encouraging progress was
word from Albany saying the prescrip-
tion for the murder victim’s glasses had
been filled in an optical shop there. New
lenses had been used in old.frames.

Troopers from the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation, Malone, N. Y., called In-
spector Cosart to say a dentist in Ausable
Forks could identify the victim as a Rose
O’Connell he had treated one summer.

“She was married to a man named
Joseph Patane,” the Malone officer said.

Manning and Sargenti were satisfied
they were on the right trail. Everything
was beginning to add up. They knew
Joseph Patane’s real name was Joseph
Mascari. He was 5’ 9” tall, weighed 175
pounds, had brown eyes, and dark com-
plexion, and was exceptionally muscular.
Born in 1911, that made him 31 years old.
The job at hand was to find Patane and
bring him in for questioning.

“There still is no direct evidence con-
necting him with this murder,” Inspector
Cosart reminded Manning and Sargenti.
“Watervliet and Albany are a long way
from Madison County where the body was
found. But Joseph Patane or Mascari had
better come up with a good story.”

The cooperation between state and local
officers in this investigation had been ex-
ceptional. It was this same team work that
snared the wanted man.

Working on the theory that Patane
would show up for work sooner or later,
Chief of Police Albert Graffunder had
men staked out at the Menands produce
company. They closed in on the truck
driver when he reported in at 7:10, Friday
morning, December 18. After making sure
of the identification, the policemen took
Patane into custody.

The truck driver feigned surprise.

“What do you want me for?” he asked.
“[’ye done nothing wrong. I stayed away
from work because I had a bad cold. Do
you think I would show up again if I had
anything to hide?”

Chief Graffunder contacted Inspector
Hageman at Troop G barracks in Troy.
“We're holding Joseph Patane for you,”
he said.

The prisoner was picked up a few min-
utes later. He wanted to know what this
was all about.

“Your wife was found dead at Cowasse-

lon Creek,” the Troop G commander told
him.

The truck driver appeared shocked.
“You've got me all wrong,” he said. “I can
explain eve ing.”

Hageman assured Patane he would have
every opportunity to do so. Then the in-
spector called Cosart in Oneida and told
him about the arrest. Manning and Sar-
genti, who had been in Albany following
a lead there, went directly to Troy. The
troopers explained the finding of Mrs.
Patane’s frozen corpse. .

“The autopsy showed your wife was
murdered,” Sergeant Manning told him.
“We want to know what happened out
there on Cowasselon Creek. Tell us about
yourself. Why have you been using the
name Patane when it is really Mascari?”

The truck driver said he had “family
reasons” for changing his name. “T was
married once before,” he said. “The niece
and nephew listed on my draft registra-
tion are my own children from that first
marriage. I had one child by Rose. She
is living with my parents.”

Patane went on to say he had been
working as a truck driver since 1936 and
that his average wage was $45 a week.
“Pye had it rough,” he told Manning and
Sargenti. “I didn’t get much schooling.”

The state troopers said they weren't too
interested in his background.

“We are investigating a murder,” Man-
ning said. “Tell us when you saw your
wife last.”

The stocky man hesitated a long time
before answering. Finally he said, “Rose
and I had planned a trip to see my parents.
She didn’t want to go, but I said it was
necessary. We started arguing on the way.
When we got out there near Cowasselon
Creek, Rose jumped out of the car. It was
dark and the road was covered with
snow. I stopped and called out to her, but
she didn’t answer. I walked all around
looking for her. I must have searched for
an hour. Finally I had to give up. I turned
around and went to Troy and registered
at a hotel. That’s as much as I know.”

The state troopers were far from satis-
fied with Patane’s story. They checked
Troy hotels and found he had registered
at one with a woman as, “Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Patane.”

Questioned about this, the prisoner
said he had married again after his wife’s
disappearance. Incriminating as this was,
the investigators knew they needed more
evidence if they were to pin the murder
on Patane.

This came from the State Police scien-
tific laboratory. A New York Central track
walker had found a bundle of blood-

stained clothing near a railroad culvert
outside West Coxsackie, N. Y., and turned
it over to authorities. The blood was the
same type as Mrs. Patane’s. The clothes
were proved to be her husband’s.

Confronted with this evidence, the pris-
oner talked! “I threw those clothes there
when I took a load of produce to New
York on December 9,” Patane said. “I
should have burned them.”

The truck driver admitted a weakness
for a variety of women. “I was married
before I met Rose,” he said, “and I tired
of that wife. The same thing happened
again. I met another girl who was younger
and prettier, but Rose wouldn't give me
a divorce. I cooked up an excuse about
having to visit my parents.

“We didn’t say a word to each other
until we reached Canastota. I think Rose
had a feeling I was going to kill her. She
didn’t know where my people lived. When
we came to a dark house across from
Cowasselon Creek I told her that was it
and that my folks must have gone to bed
early.”

Patane said he got out of the car and
unlocked the trunk and took out a hammer
he had put there.

“T told Rose to get out,” the confessed
killer continued. “She walked back to
where I was standing and I hit her before
she knew what was happening. Rose
screamed, but no one heard her. I must
have hit her several times.

“Then I walked back around the car
and got.a piece of cloth from the glove
compartment and wiped the blood off my
hands. I thought I'd leave the body in the
road to make it look like a hit-run ac-
cident, but I didn’t. I picked Rose up and
carried her to the bank and threw her
down near the water. That’s when I got
blood on my clothes.”

The state troopers knew what Joseph
Patane had done after that. Complete co-
operation between state and local police
and newspapers had produced the answer
to the Cowasselon Creek murder mystery.
Subsequent investigation showed the
truck driver to be quite a ladies’ man.
He had married three, but there had been
many more he didn’t bother taking to
the altar.

Joseph Patane or Joseph Mascari was
arraigned before a Justice of the Peace
in Chittenango charged with murder in
the first degree. Indicted, he went to trial
before Justice William H. Coon on March
15, 1943, at Wam ville, Madison County.
The jury found him guilty as charged 12
days later. No recommendation for mercy
was made which meant death in the elec-
tric chair. Joseph Patane paid the supreme
penalty for his crime on January 6, 1944.

and have decided to go to California to
live with Norma and her husband.”

Simms, a special police officer, replied
that most of the residents of Minerva
would feel equally bad about seeing the
last member of the Rutledge family leave
the community.

“Oh, Jimmy will probably _ still be
around now and then,” Mrs. Rutledge as-
sured her neighbor. “He has been court-
ing a girl up at Hiram, only 40 miles north
of here, and is talking about settling down
and getting married.”

Mrs, Hazel Hahn, another neighbor, also
voiced regret at learning of Juanita’s plan
to leave the community. “When do you

‘ities

expect to make the move?” she inquired
solicitously.

Mrs. Rutledge said that she had arrived
at no definite decision. Before leaving, she
planned to sell the family home, dispose
of most of Her possessions, including the
furniture, and if possible get rid of the
automoblie which she had used very little
since the death of her husband.

On Monday, August 25, two days after
that conversation, Mrs. Hahn was sweep-
ing her front porch when she observed a
moving van back up to the Rutledge home
down the block. Although she knew her
neighbor as a woman who acted quickly
once she had made up her mind, it sur-
prised Mrs. Hahn to realize that less than
48 hours had passed since Juanita had
finally decided to leave the town where
she had spent her life.

Mrs. Hahn stood watching as two mov-
ing men carried out the living room furni-

\

ture. After a few minutes she strolled
down past her old friend’s neat frame
cottage. But there was no sign of Juanita
Rutledge, and Mrs. Hahn realized the
widow was probably busy getting her
things ready for shipment or sale. Return-

ing to her home, she passed Simms and

‘remarked on the suddenness with which

Juanita had acted.

“Must have decided to store the stuff in-
stead of selling it,” Simms speculated. He
called Mrs. Hahn’s attention to the fact
that the van was from a moving and stor-
age company in Canton, 15 miles west of
Minerva. “Certainly,” Simms added, “‘she
couldn't have sold the house over the
weekend. Or her car, either.”

The fact that the car was not in the
opened garage behind the Rutledge house
indicated its owner might be off making
farewell calls or making final arrange-
ments for leaving.

SPECTACLE

BY LIONEL WHITE

HE thin fog hung like a shroud

over the countryside through

which the Ditch Bank road wound
like a serpent.

Lean and hard with the years, the
farmer shivered in the early morning air.
There was a strange deceptiveness to the
fog which made it appear moist and
warm; actually it was frigid. The date
was Dec. 10, 1942,

It was a particularly lonely stretch,
some six miles west of Canastota in
Madison county, New York. There were
no houses in sight and the road _ itself
was bare of all traffic. By straining his
eyes, the man was able to see not more
than a few feet in any direetion.

Then he paused and stood looking down
at an object beside the road.

At first he thought it must be some-
thing which had fallen from a passing
car. It seemed to be a large bundle of
clothes tied loosely. They were wet and
soggy with the fog and rain. The farmer
nudged the pile with his foot. Inside that
bundle was some object that was stiff
and solid.

Quickly he pulled the cloth coat open

then shot to his feet and started running. *

The bundle contained the body of a
womanh !

Clark Lahah, chief of police of Cana-
stota, N. Y., headed the squad car out
the Ditch Bank road at a fast clip. He
arrived only some five minutes before
State Trooper Sergt. Charles J. Man-
ning, attached to Troop D at Oneida,
N. Y. Manning had received the report
over his short wave radio and happened
to be in the neighborhood.

The fog had cleared somewhat, but the
air was colder. The road, previously de-
serted, was suddenly crowded with pas-
sersby. The farmer was explaining. “I

thought it was nothing until I started
pulling the coat open, And then I felt the
tace and frozen hair. | knew it must be a
woman and | knew that she was dead.”

Manning nodded. “Anyone send for
the coroner?” he asked. His eyes were
sharp and observant as he knelt beside
the body. He pulled the coat back and
bared the head. The sightless eyes stared
out at him from a face which must have
been at one time very attractive. There
were lacerations on the throat and neck.
She had been terribly beaten,

One arm was crossed under her in a
grotesque fashion and there were flecks
of blood on her lips.

While a second trooper was taking
photographs of the scene, and the police
chief was keeping the crowd back,
Coroner J. D. Boyle of Chittenango
drove up. His initial inspection was
swift and efficient.

“Dead for several days,” he said.
“Whoever did it used a weapon like a
black jack as well as his fists. She’s been
struck over the head’ several times with
a blunt instrument. Skull fractured badly.
She probably died from the beating
before the head injury. Her body is
covered with bruises. She put up a battle,
but she didn't have much of a chance.

“It would be my guess that she was
either murdered and thrown from a car,
or else may have been slain in the road
by her killer and then dragged over and
thrown into the ditch. We'll make a
thorough examination when we can get
the body into town.”

Within two hours Manning and _ his
superior, Inspector John A. Cosart of
the state troopers, were in possession of
the few facts available.

The woman had been beaten to death.
And she had apparently fought hard for

She came toward the back of the car
where I was standing. I hit her over the
head with the hammer. She screamed.
I hit her again . . . and again. I don’t

“Then I walked back around the car

when my clothes got all bloody.”
The investigators knew the rest. Sub-
sequent investigation disclosed that the

“How dumb can a broad be?” he
asked. “You're going to star in a dirty
movie, a pornographic picture. And
when it’s shown to our clients you’re
going to make personal appearances
along with it. You'll make a lot of
money if you'll play ball. Some of our
girls make $500 a week.”

There was a sinking sensation at the
pit of my stomach. I felt sick.

“Mr. Abbing,” I said, “you’re asking
me to bécome a prostitute.”

“Well,” he said, “I’m glad you got
something through your thick head.”

“Well,” I said, “I’m not going to do
it, not for a $1,000 a week.”

He didn’t seem disturbed at my re-
fusal. “Go home,” he said, “go home
and think it over. Maybe something will
happen to make you change you mind.”

When he, said that, he knew very
well what he was talking about as I
found out three days later.

During that period I applied for a
job’ at some of the city’s reputable
model agencies but they were, it ap-
peared, overloaded with experienced
girls. I never managed to get beyond

_ the receptionist.

On a rainy afternoon, I sat in my
lonely room. Soon, I realized, my
money would run out. I found myself
thinking about Abbing’s proposition.
Somehow, it didn’t seem as horrible

“as it had when he’d first made it. Then,

there was a knock at the door.

A portly man with gray hair and a
derby hat came into the room. He said,
“Are you Ruth N—?” (Editor’s Note:
The author has asked us to use a fic-
ticious name.)

I nodded. ;

He took an envelope from his pocket
and took some pictures from the envel-
ope. I recognized them as the nudes
Harry had taken of me. He said,
“These are photographs of you, aren’t
they?”

truck driver had been quite a ladies’
man. He had been married,three times
but there were quite a nuntber of oth-
ers who he had never taken the trouble
to marry.

Joseph Patane or Mascari was ar-
raigned before a justice of the peace
in Chittenango. He was subsequently
indicted on a charge of first-degree
murder and came to trial before Justice
William B. Coon on March 15th, 1943,
at Wampsville, Madison County.
Twelve days later the killer was found
guilty as charged with no recommenda-
tion of mercy. This verdict called for
the mandatory sentence of death in the
electric chair. On January 6th, 1944,
Joseph Mascari, alias Patane, paid with
his life and the case of the frozen
corpse was closed. +

“Yes,” I said, “but what of it? What’s
it to you?”

He took a badge from his pocket.
“I’m a detective,” he said. “Vice squad.
You’re under arrest for lewd and las-
civious conduct.” ~

I panicked. Tears welled into my
eyes and I was more scared than I’d
ever been in my life.

“You can't,” I said, “You can’t put
me in jail.’”

“Okay,” he said, “I won’t. Just give
me five hundred bucks and we’ll forget
all about it.” AL

“Why don’t you ask for's. million?”
I said bitterly. “And why pick on me?
Why don’t you talk to the people wh
took the pictures?” :

“I have,” he said calmly, “and I
charged them ten times what I’m asking
from you. They paid off right away.
Ill give you a break. I'll give you
twenty-four hours to raise the money.”

He left, leaving me still in a state of
panic. There was only one thing
I could do. I picked up the phone and
called Lou Abbing.

“I know,” he said, after I’d blurted
out my story. “That grafting copper
was here. He shook us down good.
But don’t you worry. Come over right
away. You can go to work this after-
noon. I’ll advance you the dough to
pay that crooked flatfoot.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. As a
matter of fact, I was fool enough to
feel grateful to Lou Abbing.

So, I went to work that afternoon
in the movies but not at all in the way
I'd dreamed of. Lou insisted that I
drink a half pint of whiskey before I
faced the camera. When he took me
into the studio, three absolutely nude
girls and two men were already there.
They laughed and made obscene re-
marks as the two boys took off my
clothes.

The details of that day are pretty
blank in my mind. I wasn’t used to
drinking and the whiskey had made me
drunk enough so that I hardly knew
what I was doing. I do know that both
boys and one of the girls made love
to me.

Suspect (r.) repented murder of former love too late to escape the chair.

atternoon of December 10th. Accord-
ing to Dr. Boyd’s autopsy report she
had been murdered three days earlier.
On Monday morning, December 14th,
Sergeant Manning was back in Inspec-
tor Cosart’s office reporting that he was
no nearer identifying the body than
ever. :

“There is only one way we’re ever
going to identify that corpse,” the in-
Spector said. “We have to give this
case the widest possible publicity. Every
upstate police station has been notified
of the murder. It’s not enough. We need
the help of the public. The newspapers
have helped us before. I’m going to ask
for their aid again.”

Inspector Cosart called the editors
of every paper in the area. He asked
each paper to send a reporter to a con-
ference in his office. The inspector neg-
lected no publication, no matter how
small. Reporters from country weeklies
as well as from the large city dailies
appeared at his office. Men from cities
as far away as Binghamton and Utica,
N. Y., gathered in the state police bar-
Tacks at Oneida. Inspector Cosart out-
lined the case to them.

“More than a week ago a woman

Was found murdered near here,” he

said. “So far’ we’ve been unable to
identify the body. Until we do, no
progress can be made in apprehending
the killer. We don’t know whether she
was killed here or one hundred miles
away. We need widespread publicity to
get a line on who she was. That’s why
I sent for you. I would appreciate it
if you would play the story up big.”
Each reporter was given several pic-
tures of the dead woman. In addition
they were supplied with copies of the
dental chart, eyeglass prescription, and
descriptions of the jewelry and clothing.
Editors throughout the area featured
the story. The sensational frozen corpse
proved to have great story value as
every reader became a detective.
Tips, poured in by the hundreds. Peo-
ple reported anything unusual they had
seen: furtive-looking strangers; strange
cars; unexplainable actions on the part
of anyone. More than 300 phone calls
came into the Oneida barracks as a
direct result of the news stories. Each
lead was carefully and conscientiously
run down. Some, who found themselves
without an adequate alibi for the peri-
od in question, were detained for vary-
ing lengths of time. In the end all the
would-be suspects had to be released.

After a while the tips stopped coming
in. There were no suspects and not
even a lead as to the dead woman’s
identity.

Then some papers which had not sent
reporters to the conference began pick-
ing up the story. One of these, The
Knickerbocker News in Albany, N. Y.,
had a lead. An editor of that paper
phoned Inspector Cosart.

“We've been featuring that frozen
corpse story,” the editor said, “It has
aroused quite a bit of interest among
our reporters. Some of them have been
sleuthing on their own. One of them
went to see the manager of a branch of
that beauty school here. He showed her
some pictures of your corpse. The

_ manager of the beauty school believes

the woman you are trying to identify
was a student at the Schenectady branch
several years ago.”

The editor of the Albany paper went
on to say that if the reporter and the
beauty school manager were right, then
the frozen corpse was a woman named
Rose O’Connell. She had attended the
beauty school in 1938 and 1939. Just
before graduation she had gotten mar-
ried instead of going into the hair-
dressing profession.

“But the initials are wrong,” Inspec-
tor Cosart told the editor. “We’re look-
ing for the initials, ‘R.O.P.’”

“Hold on a minute,” the Albany edi-
tor said, “I’m just coming to that. Rose
O’Connell married a man by the name
of Patane. You see? It works out per-
fectly—‘R.O.P.’ Rose O’Connell
Patane.” :

“This might be what we’re looking
for,’ Cosart said. “Do you know this
Patane’s first name?”

“No, not yet,” was the reply. “How-
ever, the beauty school manager told
our reporter that she thought Patane
was from the town of Watervliet. I have
a man there checking on it now.” ~~:

“Thanks a lot,” the inspector said. .
“You’ve been a great help.”

OSART sent Manning and Trooper
Fred Sargenti racing to the town
almost 200 miles from the little creek
near Oniontown where the corpse was
found. On arriving in Watervliet the
state policemen contacted the reporter
from Albany. The latter already had
uncovered some valuable information.
Patane’s first name was Joseph. He used
to live at 1901 Broadwayy with his
wife Rose and a little daughter. The
landlady of 1901 Broadway had already
identified a photo of the frozen corpse
as Mrs. Rose Patane.

The two state policemen rushed to
the Broadway address. The landlady
was most cooperative. She again looked
at a photo of the corpse and was posi- |
tive that it was Mrs. Rose Patane.

“When did you last see Mrs. Patane?”
Sergeant Manning asked.

“The day Mr. Patane gave up the
apartment,” the landlady replied. “Let’s
see . . . that would be on November
twenty-ninth.”

“Do you remember ever seeing Mrs.
Patane wear a green cloth coat and a

green wrap-around dress?’ the sergeant
asked.

“Why, yes, I do,” the woman said.
“It’s funny you should mention that.
Mrs. Patane was wearing just that out-
fit the last time I saw her.”

“Did Mr. Patane say why they were
giving up the apartment?” Manning
asked.

“He told me that they were going
to take a motor trip vacation and then
go to live with his parents in Canas-
tota,” the landlady said.

“Canastota is not far from Onion-
town,” Sargenti said.

“You know it’s a funny thing,” the
woman continued, “‘but they left some
things here the day they moved. They
left a sewing machine, a trunk and
some household articles here. They said
that they would be back for the things.
Well, I was really fond of Rose and I
was looking forward to seeing her again
when they came back to get the things
they left here. Then on a Sunday, I
think it was December the thirteenth,
Mr. Patane came back alone. He took
some of his clothes but left a lot of
his wife’s things and the sewing machine
and the trunk. He said that I could have
them. I thought it was kind of strange.”

“Do you know what Mr. Patane did
for a living?’’ Manning asked.

“He drove a truck.”

“What was his employer’s name?”

“I don’t recall,” the landlady said.
“I remember that it was a produce com-
pany over in Menands.”

“Thank you very much,” the sergeant
said. “You’ve been most helpful. I
would appreciate it if you would tell
no one, not even Mr. Patane if he
should return, of our visit.” :

The woman promised to keep the
secret and the Albany reporter also
gave his word that he would sit on
the story. The state policemen imme-
diately notified their superior of their
discoveries.

Inspector Cosart called the Troop G
barracks and spoke with Inspector
Hageman in charge of that district
which centered on Troy, N. Y., and in-
cluded Watervliet and Menands. Inspec-
tor Hageman detailed Sergeant Fred
Schoonmaker and Trooper Harry Sco-
ville to make inquiries and locate the
Menands firm which employed Joseph
Patane.

When Manning and Sargenti arrived
at Menands the information was readi-
ly available. The Troop G officers had
located the produce firm. They learned
that Patane had gone under the name
Joseph Mascari in the past. The pro-
duce firm informed the officers that
Patane had reported for work on the
Monday following the Thursday the
frozen corpse had been discovered, but
had left without taking his truck out.
Patane had told his boss he had a cold
and had gone home. That was the day
after Patane had picked up his clothes
from 1901 Broadway. The produce peo-
ple didn’t hear from him again until

Tuesday, the 15th, at which time a
woman called in and said that Patane
was still ill with a cold. That was the
last his employers had heard of him.

THOROUGH search of Watervliet
and Menands was conducted with-
out turning up the much-sought-after
Patane. Sergeant Schoonmaker and
Trooper Scoville were detailed to keep
watch in the Watervliet-Menands area
while Manning and Sargenti hurried to
Canastota.. The two. Troop D troopers
made inquiries with Madison County
town clerks and were informed that a
man by the name of Mascari, who
owned a farm at Lenox, was listed at
RFD Canastota. The records of that
town showed a birth certificate for one
Joseph Mascari, born August 2nd, 1911.
“That birthday was draft eligible,”
Manning said. “We’d be better off
checking with Selective Service authori-
ies.”
A check of that bureau’s records
revealed that a man had registered for

_ the draft in Watervliet, in October,

1940, giving his name as Joseph Pa-
tane. This man had given his address
as 1425 Broadway, Watervliet, and a
year later had changed it to 1901
Broadway. There was little doubt that
the troopers were beginning to hit pay
dirt.

According to the Selective Service
questionnaire this Joseph Patane had
no physical defects and almost no form-
al education. The registrant had given
his occupation as truck drier for a
Menands produce companyxxHe had
been married to a Rose O’Connell on
April 8th, 1939, at Mt. Moriah, New
York. He listed a daughter and a
nephew and niece as dependents. Ac-
cerding to the draft records this Joseph
Patane had never been in any branch of
the armed forces and had never been
in trouble with the police.

Once the initial break-through had
been made more encouraging informa-
tion came to light. An optical shop in
Albany, New York, reported that they

had ground lenses of the same pre-
scription as those found near Cowas-
selon Creek for a Mrs. Rose Patane.
The optical company had not supplied
the rimless frames for the lenses, how-
ever.

Then Inspector Cosart received a
phone call from the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation at Malone, New York, re-
porting that a dentist in Ausable Forks,
N. Y., had identified the chart of the
murder victim’s teeth. According to the
dentist the teeth belonged to a patient
he had treated one summer named Rose
Patane. The dentist’s records showed
that this patient was married to a man
named Joseph Patane.

Sergeant Manning and Trooper Sar-
genti were sure that they were on the
right track. Everything was beginning
to add up. There was little doubt that
the corpse found frozen grotesquely at
Cowasselon Creek was Rose O’Connell
Patane. Quite a bit was known about
the murder victim. She had studied hair-
dressing for two years with a leading
nation-wide beauty school. That ac-

counted for the shoulder pin found
on the corpse inscribed with the name
of the beauty school. The rimless glass-
es and the dental work of the corpse
had both been traced.

The investigators also had a suspect
in the husband, Joseph Patane, about
whom quite a bit of information was
available. The police strongly suspect-
ed that Patane’s real name was Joseph
Mascari. He was five-feet, nine-inches
tall, weighed about 175 pounds, had
brown eyes’ and dark complexion and
was exceptionally muscular. Patane or

Mascari was 31 years old. The job was.
Yo find him.

Manning and Sargenti conferred with
the inspector. Their superior reminded
the two state policemen that there was
still no evidence linking Patane with
the murder. The body had been found
in Madison County which was quite a
distance from Watervliet and Menands
where Patane worked and lived.

“At this point we want Patane or
Mascari for questioning only,” the in-
spector said>“But he better have a darn
good story when we do find him.”

All the progress in the case thus
far had depended on the exceptional
cooperation between state and _ local
police. This same team-work led to

the apprehension of Joseph Patane a

short time later.

Menands Chief of Police Albert
Graffunder had a hunch that sooner or
later the wanted husband would show
up for work at the produce company.
Consequently the chief detailed some
men to watch the place constantly. At
7:10 A.M. on Friday morning, Decem-
ber 18th, the police officers on stake-
out duty spotted the suspect entering
the company premises. After making
certain of his identity they took the
suspect into custody.

Questioned by Chief Graffunder, Pa-
tane feigned complete surprise and ig-
norance.

“What do you want with me?” the
truck driver said. “I haven’t done any-
thing. I stayed away from work be-
cause I had a bad cold. Do you think
I would have been fool enough to show
up at work if I had anything to be
afraid of? I have nothing to hide.”

N view of the suspect’s attitude, Chief

Graffunder thought it best to leave
further questioning of Patane to the
State police. Consequently the chief
contacted Inspector Hageman at the
Troop G barracks in Troy. ™

“We've got Patane,” the chief said.
“You can pick him up any time you
want.”

A car arrived a short time later and

the truck driver was driven to Troy. |

Enroute Patane demanded to know
where he was ebing taken. *

“What’s this all about?” the mlscu-
lar truckman said. Seth.

“You don’t know that your wife was
found dead at Cowasselon Creek?”
Hageman said, sarcasm apparent in his
tone.

“Why ... no, I don’t,” Patane said
in what appeared to be surprise and
shock. “This has nothing to do with
me. You’ve got it all wrong. I can ex-
plain everything.”

“You'll have a chance to do just
that in a little while,” Inspector Hage-
man said.

On arrival at the Troy barracks,
Hageman phoned Inspector Cosart at
Oneida and informed him of Patane’s
arrest. Cosart, in turn, notified Sergeant
Manning and Trooper Sargenti who
were in Albany following a lead. The

two went directly to Troy where they

questioned the suspect.

“Your wife was found dead at Cow-
asselon Creek, near Oniontown,” Man-
ning explained. “The autopsy report
indicates that she was murdered. We
want to know what happened. We'll
start at the beginning. Why do you use
the name Patane when it is really Mas-
cari?”

The suspect explained that he used
the assumed name because he had been
married before and had “family rea-
sons for using an assumed name.” Pa-
tane went on to tell Manning, in this
preliminary questioning, that he had

been working as a truck driver since

1936 earning an average of $45 a week.
Patane tried to arouse his listeners’
sympathy by claiming that he had had
a rough life because of his deprived

childhood and lack of education.

“O.K.,” said the sergeant, “but we’re
investigating a murder here. When did
you last see your wife?” :

The burly truck driver hesitated for ~
quite a while before answering. “Rose =
and I planned to take a trip and see
my parents,” he answered finally. “She
didn’t want to go but I told her that
she had to go with me. All during the
trip we were arguing. Near Cowasselon
Creek I stopped the car and Rose jump-
ed out. It was dark and the road was
covered with snow. I called out to her,
but she didn’t answer. I got out of the
car and walked all around looking for
her. I must have searched for about
an hour. Finally I had to give up. I
turned around and went back to Troy.

I spent the night in a hotel there. That’s
all I know.” f

Manning was far from satisfied with
this story. Nevertheless, under repeated «%
questioning, the suspect told substan- @
tially the same story. The. hotels in <%
Troy were checked and the investigators
found that Patane had, indeed, register- 4
ed at one of them with a woman. The —@
register was signed, “Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Patane.”. 4

When qquestioned about this the @
burly truck driver claimed that he had © %
re-married right after his wife’s dis-
appearance. Sergeant Manning and In- © =
spector Cosart knew that they needed
more substantial evidence, despite this 7
fantastic and highly suspect tale that 7
Patane told..

The clincher was not long in coming. 73
A track walker for the New York Cen- —
tral Railroad found a bundle of blood-
stained clothes outside West Coxsackie,
N. Y., and turned it over to the state
police scientific laboratory. Analysis of
the clothes showed that the stains were
made by blood of the same type as
Mrs. Patane’s. The clothes proved to be
Joseph Patane’s. This was the last link
the investigators needed. The suspect =
was confronted with this bit of evidence ~
and decided to confess. ae

Patane admitted that he had thrown |
the bloody clothes near the railroad
embankment on December 9th, enroute
to New York ‘City in his truck with a_
load of produce. fn

“I should have burned them,” Patane
said. |

The truck driver admitted to a weak-
ness for many women. He told the offi- -
cers that he had been married before ©
and had left his first wife when he met >.
Rose. After a while with Rose he be- —
came tired of her. He had met a young-.”
er woman, but Rose refused to give him
a divorce. They had argued bitterly. —

“Finally,” the prisoner said in his —
confession, “I cooked up that excuse
about going to see my parents. All dur-
ing the trip we didn’t say a word to
each other. Outside of Canastota we
came to a dark house across from —
Cowasselon Creek. I stopped the car.
Since Rose didn’t know where my par-
ents live I told her that we had arrived.
and that everyone in the house was
probably asleep and that was why it
was dark. ee

“I think Rose knew I was planning

Deloss Atkyns, Esq. was still opening
tho case for tha people. After having
fully defined the crime of murder, the
counsel gave a detailed history of the
case, which we briefly summarize be
cause the faller account to be followed
in the eyidence renders unnecessary a
full report. Tho counsellor saia:

James M, Hatch, lived upon a road
running pearly east and west,a road
which leaves the plank road, running
from Norwich to Sherburne, ruuning
nearly east from it, towards New Boer-
lin, being the ‘**Nigger Hollow” road.
The road leaves tue plank aboat one
half mile South of Sherburne, Up

out of the window towards the road ; I
was in the edge of the bed sink ohang-
ing my appare'; had just returned
from Sherburne avout one half hour
before ; I first heard report ofa gun ; it
was the loudest I ever heard;
followed by cracking of glass, my bus-
band started from the window aad said

“My Goi Tam ehot,’’ he started to go

to the door ; 1 looked out of the win-
dow; and saw Mr. McCaun, he was
standing not quite in range of me;
& little towards his house, raising his
gun from between the pickets in front
of our house; it was about five o’clock;
I could see distinctly; I bad uo
trouble ia seeiug him ; before the shot
the window was whole; I oould see
perfectly ; have known Folix McCann
16 years; I wont to the door; and
screamed ‘‘murcer” and for ‘help, two
or three times; when I ecreamed

he looked back towards moand
then went skuiking and dodging:
along home, he had his gun

in his hand. Next I went to Hatch
and then he was getting to the tabdle
where light was, examining his wound;
the blood began to flow from his
mouth, I tried to assist him to the bed,
got a pillow and put it under his head
and he sank down und died ; the blood
rushed from his month, I got a bowl
of water and camphor; tried to get
some camphor in his mouth ; tried to
tell me something ; his lips moved but
heard nothing; helived 3 minutes; tried
to raise him ;he was ten dead; there
was a lantern inthe room ; it satin a
chair ; I started then for Mr. Brown,
dare not goin rood sand went across
lot ; at woodshed door [I knocked ;
heard no sonnd; lifted iatch and
looked in ; could no$ see nor hear any
one; then went home across lots;
coming back I saw a person I called
Oharlie Jones ; told him what was the
matter ; he ran down the hill; I then
went back to house; crossed to Mr.
Hustead’s; he lived southwest of us
towards Sherburna ; he lives offon a
cross road ; went across lots; at his’
house asked him to go to Mr, Church’s;
give the alarm ; went back home; the
first persons who came were Hustead
and wife then Mr. Church; husbends
body lay head towards t e west, on
right side ; dressed in every day cloth-
ing a tweed jacket overalls, and vest, He
had been sawing wood inthe mud;
clothing coarse ; had seen defendant
in the morning; He told Mr. Hatch
be must not throw out any more corn
in feedipg chickens ; H. told him to go
away and mind his business ; told him
it was his business to feed his fowls at
home ; McCann said he must stop if or
he would pound him ; H, said it was
his place to fecd at home; McOnann
was shaking his fist ; he stood by the
fence talking ; can’t remember every

up and down the road; _ said
he could net have it, H. must atop

nor fay anything about a pistol ; nor

else was present ; ufter the interview
saw Phillips girl ; sho was not pres
ent during the interview; nor did J
threaten Minnie ; then I wentin ; got
ready and ate supper ; was ton minutes
eating supper; H, then pot up and
smoked bis pipe for tho last time, by
the side of the door ; he sat down near
the chamber door ; smoked a few min.
utes, perhaps five; then [lit the lan
torn, got my dress; set the lantern
on corner of the table; while
smokiog H. was a little way, nearly
north of the window, facing towards
the stoye ard away from the window ;
while smoking 1 lighted the lantern,
common kerosene lantern; have to
take the bottom out to light it; i¢
was Composition and glass globe went
around the light ; changed my droas
in the reoesss ; then H. got up, put up
his pipo, and then stepped to the win-
dow ; at the window he stood looking
out; he might have been close to the
window, think he stood as one might
casually step to the window; sea
him standing at the window. think it
was twenty seconds after went to the
window before report ; he did not say
anything when he went to window ; he
might have said more than I havo
told ; be said “IJ ama dead man.” £
was very much excited ; I don’t think
of anything else he said except what
I’ve told ; he might have said other
things, but nothing more comes to
mind now; after he was shot he turned,
went abont ten feet to the table, the
table was at back side of the bonso,
ont a little way ; Ll was in the door
while he was going to the table, and I
went to the window first and stopped a
very short timo; it might have
been one-half a minute; then went
to the door, it was not fastened; stayed
at door long enough to scream, stayed
half a minute. I told him when he
said he was a dead man, not to ba
frightened he might get over it; talked
to myself after the occurrence, was ex-~
orted, don’t think of anything else I
eaid. When I went to the window saw
defendant in the highway not qnite
opposite to me, ho was @ little west of
the window ; he had a gun and was
raising itfrom the rail betwoen the

ouse, a four foot fence; tie pickets
are about 3 or 4 inches wide, nailed on
to tlie rail, the spaces are abont the
same as the width of the pickets ; at
the point where McO, was, the pickets
were about a foot above the top rail ;
it was about 26 or 27 feet from window
to the fence. When [ got to the door
McC, had turned and was going to
wards home, had gone a faw stepa,
about a yard from where hestood when
I first saw him ; and I screamed; he
was looking back; he was. siightly
moviug ; when I screamed he burried
a little; I oried ‘‘murder,” - ‘help ;”
McO, scooted along; he dodged and
scoote. nud hurried along ; went faster

than a walk; perhaps what some would !

he
dodged from one side of the fence to

he had on a slouched black wool hat ;

and is visible from east and west, and

is at 2 distance of three feet west from
the window ; between the bed sink and
buttery are stairs leading up stairs ;
back of the L is a woodshed.

On the evening of December 3 last,
the wife of Hatch, at about 5 o’clock
returned from Sherburne, going a foot;
she had prepared tea ond sbe and
Liatoh bed sat down to partake of it,
she and Hatch ongaged in gotting the
supper ; she flaished the supper with-
out changing her clothes ; she then
ligated a Jantern lamp, setit downina
chair and went to bed sink to change
her clothes ; while thus engaged Hatch
bad passed along to the window on
west and front side of wing avd stood
a few feet from bed sink ; at that time
it was light enough to distinguish sad
identify aman out doors for 15 or 20 rods.
Her husband stood looking out of the
the window, she thinks, As he stood
in that position she heard the report of
a gun, in the same instaut the glass
came crushing and rattling into the
room and her hu band turned and said,
‘My God, {m shot,” walked across
the room, rouud to little table and
began to tear open his shirt in front,
saying, ‘“‘Lomadead man.” His wife
passed from bed sink to near the
window,saw the window blown out and
as sbo passed the window looked out
and saw # man standing in the road-
tile, nearly in front, justin the aot of
taking his gun from the top rail of the
fence,

Mr, Atkyns then detailed the subse-
quent movements of McOann, and Mra,
Hatch, and entered into detail of the
evidence to be produced by the prose-
cation, closing with aneloquent appeal

slight, little woman, dressed in black,
a.d was accompanied by her son—a
young man of thirty, or thereabouts,
‘he order in the court has been re-
markably good, so far; although a largo
crowd of eager listeners are present,
who press as near as possible to the
witness stand, they are quiet and well
rehaved. McCann conversed eagerly
with his counsel jast before roturning
to jail, The prose is well ropresentod,
Harold Frederiok, of the Ution Observ-
or, J. J. Vinnagan, of the Utien Jerald,
G. M. Champlin of the Albany Daily
Press and Nnickebocker, and others,

came away and McCann wont to his
barn ; it was about 9 a.m, ‘There had
been a number of quarrels between
them, the first quarrel was the first
apring after McvU. moved there, H,
went to drive fowls across a lot occu-
pied by MoO.; got as near as the road
and was on the fence to get over, McC.
was in the road and ordered him off
the fence or he would knock him off.
HH. told him he’d better not strike
him; McO, told him he’d fin-
ish him; MoO. had a_ club;
Hateh was on fence and McOsava
stood side of fence; Hatch got off
fence and came away. Another time
they met on the road above our house,
near his house; HB. was scaring our
fowle home and McO told him not to
let them gat there again ; Hatch camo
home; McCann had a olub in his
hand ; Hatch was walking slong and
McCann was grating Lis teeth. The
next was about three years ogo; that
time Hatch was going across the road
near the barn, and McoCaun told him
not to come on hia premises any more ;
Hatch scared the hens home and said
he wouldn’t go near him regain ; McO
was shaking his‘fist ; last July McOann
told Hatch not to cross his lots-again ;

out in the road and I drove them back,
and when Hatch came home MoQann
told him the cows were going to run in
the road ; H. said they must not, and
McO, said they should inspite of svery-
thing, and that Hi. couldn’t help him-
self ; McCann shook his fist and eaid
they should run there; Li, told him
that he should have more principle
than to let his cows run in the road ;
but McC. said they should run there in
spiteof him, Next tronble was on
Sherburne fair night; McO was up
and down the road, passed our honse
crying ‘old Hatch, come out here and

tember ; in two or three days ; the road
was changed ; McO, said his deed
covered the road and we were holding
it from them ; the road was on my
premises ; the road had been fenced up
but the fence had been taken down
previous to this; three or fonr days
beforethis Holden and Oomm’rs had
surveyed the road ; the effoot had been
that it took some off of his premises ;
and added to mine ; MoO. anid H. was
tho meaus of tearing his front yard o
pieces and taking his land ; aud said,
he’d take the road ont of him if he
could get hold of him;” tho next
troubles was the morning before ho

McO, scooted along; he dodged and
scootes aud burried along ; went faster

he might hava scooted faster; he
dodged from one side of the fence to

watched him till I got through calling;

he had on a slouched biack wool hat ; !

did not notice it particularly, but saw
it ; it occurred to my mind that be had
on his every day hat; badon a faded
brown coat, weather beaten ; it ocour-
red to my mind at the time, that he
did ; know thas he had it on; my
mind was not on people’s olothing ; ai
the time I saw him wasin his usual
wardrobe ; think he had on oyeralie ;
thoy were reddish brown ; it was light
enough to see the color at that time ;
had a gun in his hand when I wont to
door ; swore before the coroner that I
thought be had a gun; sweart think
ho bad a gun in his hand when he want
uway ; carried it in his hand ; heid it
in his right hand; had hold ot it abous
the middle; next went back to my
husband ; shut the door partly to;
got the pillow, wbhea he began to siuk
down ; gota bowlof water and oam-
phor bottle ; got the lantern down bs
side him ; nothing else; then L[ wet
his iace with water and camphor; when
I got through with him and saw
the blood gush from his mouth
and nose, I went to Brown’s ; went out
of back door ; went tothe front door
again to see if it was shut; found is
shut; might have slipped the bolt ;
and then went ont of the back door to
Brown's snd couldn’t get in ; testilied
to this before the coron ~; first person
I saw was Charlie Jones ; saw him in
the highway ; bo was quite a distance
from me ; that was when I was coming
back ; was afraid to goin the road be-
ceuse I did not know what might bap-
peu ; had seen s man go the other way
but did not know where he might be ;
next went to Mr. Huste.d’s ; no one at
my honse except H.’s body ; found Mr,
H., his wife and wife’s brother named
Weayor ; then went back home ; after
I wentin, Mr, H. and his wife cumo;

can’i teli how long before somebody ~

else came ; Wm, Ohurch came next ;
after I went back Hustesd avd wile
came in; remained at the house;
while there did not do anything bai
look at him to see if any life was in
him; lautern was burning all this
time ; went into back door and unfas-
tened front door after return from
Busted’s, and whenhe andhis wife
came opened the door and let them in;
first thingI saw of the  interviow
between Mc. and H. the morning H,
was shot, Mo. was walking up and
down the road; H, was calling his
chickens and hic, was then talking ; I
was standing in kitonen door; saw H,
20 out before I opened the door ; think
Mo. was not there then; whon thy
bogan talking, L wont out; Mo, was
telling H, to stop feeding bis chickens
in the yard ‘tho would not havo it ;”
bext Mo, said, ‘tho had got to, stop
feoding ns it troubled his chiokéns” ;
H, told him it was his place to feed
them at homa; next H, told him to go
away and tend to his own »ffuirs ;
McOann said ‘if he did not stop feed-
ing the hens in the yard, he wonld
pound him’; did not swear to this
before the coroner ; or do not recollect
it ; couldn’t say whether I did swear
to this or not ; gave an account of this
interview before tho coroner; was
asked at least to give it; gaya a part
of it; as muoh of it as I could think of;
was quite norvous ; (hers counsel read
from Coroner’s minntes, witnesses
testimony before coroner) testified as
abovo befora the coroner; my mind
was too full to think of everything,

at:

ETERANS OF THE Wortp War_ remember

camouflage—the geometric designs of yellow,

green, gray and brown that created optical illu-
sions, fooling many a submarine gunner, outwitting num-
berless enemy Observation Posts.

This is the story of the camouflage murder, where the
criminals concerned brought camouflage—the art of
disguising material things—to a peak of efficiency,
used stratagems similar to those of wartime to
hide the fact that their hands were stained
with human blood.

In the old days when most men wore whiskers,
it was comparatively easy for lawbreakers to dis-
guise themselves by growing beards or moustaches,
even using false ones. But the safety razor, the cur-
rent trend in barbering—short hair and clean shaves
—made it impossible for even Dillinger to change his
appearance sufficiently to escape recognition.

In the present case the criminals’ elaborate set-up for
concealment established new records—made a brilliant
epic of detective work that stripped their deceptions aside,
solved the mystery of their operations.

First scene in the tangled maze occurred late one after-

and his pals went to a neighborhood tele-
graph office, where Duke sent a twenty-
five dollar money order to a James Fitz-
gerald at a hotel in Detroit. No message
went with it.”

“Good work,” Sullivan commented
briskly. Immediately he wired the De-
troit police to investigate Fitzgerald and
his connection with the Brooklyn trio.

His message must have been in the
process of transmission when in came a
inessage from the Detroit police, signed
by Capt. Charles E. Cook of the High-
land Park division. Tersely, it wanted to
know whether the Brooklyn authorities
had any interest in a Jack Sherwood, alias
Donald Dodd, who was being held there
on charges of possessing a machine gun.

Could this Sherwood, or Dodd, also
be James Fitzgerald? Was it coincidence
that White’s interest should extend to the
location of a possible killer?

A stricter watch on White and his pals
was ordered at once, with orders to arrest
them on the first suspicious move.

Hardly had he given these orders and
notified the district attorney’s office about
the Detroit message, when Sullivan re-
ceived his second surprise. A_ stocky
dark-haired young man of handsome
mien, who said his name was Donald
Dodd, walked into the office.

Sullivan eyed the caller sharply, his
keen blue eyes candidly suspicious. Was
this another cocky, flagrant trick to fool
the police?

“My name’s Donald Dodd, Captain,
and I’ve come here to straighten out a
mess,” the man said, with a hesitant smile.

“By mess you mean the Frank murder,
don’t you?” Sullivan said.

“Yes. I've been out of Brooklyn since
last year, working down in Florida. I
learned from the papers that you were
blaming the crime on Donald Dodd, me,
even mentioning my former address
here.”

“You're trying to tell me that you know
absolutely nothing about this affair?”
Sullivan interjected.

Dodd nodded affirmatively. To the
captain’s other questions, he explained
that he did not return to Brooklyn
earlier because he couldn’t risk losing his
job. Suffering a lay-off two weeks be-
fore, he decided to return by bus and
straighten matters out.

“You know Louis White?”
asked unexpectedly.

“No, never

Officers Are Puzzled

ULLIVAN’S mind struggled under

the weight of so many conflicting
questions. He was. still suspicious,
sceptical, puzzled by the developments
the last few hours had produced.

“How do you account for the use of
your name and address in this affair?” he
asked at length.

“T think I can explain that very easily,”
was the reply. “Sometime in December
of 1936, while I was living at the Lyons
avenue address, I lost my social security
card, I'd just gotten it a couple days be-
fore. Evidently, whoever found it must
have adopted my name and address,
That’s the only way I can see it.”

At 10 o’clock that evening, less than
two hours after the message from Detroit,
Josephs and Assistant District Attorney
William McGuiness were speeding to De-
troit by train.

Sixteen hours later they were in con-
ference with Capt. Cook whose men had

arrested Jack Sherwood, alias Donald
Dodd.

“Since we wired you,’ Cook said,
‘“sve’ve learned from the FBI identifica-
tion bureau that his fingerprints belong
to a mug named Sidney Markman, who
once was one of the Purple Gang rats.
We contacted you on account of his
driver’s license, registration and social
security card. All have the name of
Donald Dodd. There was a teletype
alarm a couple months back about a Dodd
being wanted for murder.”

“T understand,” Josephs said, “that
Capt. Sullivan wired you yesterday to in-
vestigate a James Fitzgerald at a hotel
here. Is there any connection between
him and Markman?”

Cook broke out witha hearty laugh. “I'll
say there is! Fitzgerald is nothing more
than another alias for Markman! In fact,
he was arrested shortly after leaving that
hotel. We thought there was something
familiar and suspicious about him, so we
hauled him in on a charge of suspicion.
Searching him, we found a .38 on him.
And in searching an apartment he’d been
living in here in Highland Park we found
a machine gun. The Federal authorities
are interested in him because of that
machine gun, and no doubt they'll want
to take him off our hands.”

Markman was brought in. He was
decidedly a surly youth, cool and
defiant, with a sneer twisting the corners
of his full, sensuous mouth.

“What're you guys going to accuse me
of now?” he snorted contemptuously.
“Just because you got me on a gun charge
doesn’t mean you can pin everything in
the book on me!”

“Keep your. shirt on, Markman!”
Josephs snapped. “As far as we're con-
cerned, there are two charges against you
at present. The machine gun charge
and...a slight charge of murder. The
Frank case... remember?”

“G’wan, I don’t know what you're
gabbing about! I haven't been in Brook-
lyn in years!”

“Why don’t you act your age?” Josephs
said derisively. “Those auto certificates
‘and the social security card you found a
year ago are evidence enough that you
were in Brooklyn at the time of the
murder. In addition, we’ve got something
stronger than that to bind you to the
crime.”

Josephs took a slow breath and then
carefully unraveled the facts that had been
vague in his mind up until now.

“It’s going to be a blow to you, Mark-
man, but it happens that your pals, White,
Duke and Wood, came to the D. A.’s
office yesterday and spilled everything
about you. Duke said he was tired of
sending you dough; that if you were such
a fool as to kill a guy and then not get
his dough it was your hard luck. He
gave me the impression, and so did the
others, that they weren’t going to risk
their necks for you or anybody else.”

Markman’s ruddy face turned a sickly
gray. “I...I don't believe it!” he cried.
“You're stringing me. You can’t make
me fall for them gags!”

Certain now that he was on safe ground,
Josephs went on_ relentlessly: “Gal. it
what you please, Markman. We’ve got
you, and that’s all we care about. We're
going to arrange for your extradition and
take you back to face the music. Your
partner is going to testify against you, too,
so he can get off with a lighter sentence.
Seems he’s afraid to burn. White and
Duke told him he’d be a fool not to save
his hide while the saving was good.”

“SSTANDS

The crack about Markman’s accom-
plice turning state’s evidence was a thrust
in the dark. Josephs had no idea who that
person was. He hoped to incense Mark-
man to the point of tripping him into re-
vealing that secret.

Markman’s deathly pallor became more
hideous and he broke into a peal of
crazed laughter.

Josephs’ heart sank. Had. he over-
stepped himself with that wild guess about
Markman’s accomplice? The next
moment, however, he felt reassured. For
Markman was ranting:

“So Goldberg ratted on me, huh? I
knew he couldn’t keep his trap shut. I
knew it! When I get my hands on that
yellow-bellied skunk, I'll... .!”

A wire was sent to Sullivan to arrest
White, Duke and Wood at once and to
locate David Goldberg.

The Net Closes

HE whereabouts of Goldberg was

traced through White, who revealed
Markman’s murder accomplice had been
an employee in his store until the day
before the murder.

When he learned through whose in-
formation he had been arrested, Goldberg
cut loose with almost the same rage that
Markman had displaved.

From the sullen killers themselves, the
officials learned that Markman, after
finding the innocent Dodd’s social security
card, obtained a driver's license, using his
name and address. He then bought for
$75 a stolen Buick from a man, who also
forged for him a registration certificate
which was dated Aug. 9, 1937 to match
Markman’s license.

When he stole the car in November,
the man had destroyed the original plates
and registered the car under a fictitious

name and received the plates numbered
3G4160, Goldberg said.

In preparing the case for trial Chief
Assistant District Attorney Frederick W.
Kopff with Josephs’ aid, tightened the
net around Markman and Goldberg by
definitely linking the gray hat found at
the crime scene to Goldberg’s possession
at the time. They also matched Mark-
man’s and Goldberg’s prints to those
found on the abandoned car. The noose
was drawn still tighter by Wood’s state-
ment that a day after the murder,
Markman got him to get rid of the death
gun and the license plates, which he threw
down a sewer.

Which of the two prisoners actually
shot and killed Isadore Frank was a
difficult point to establish. Markman in-
sisted that Goldberg was the triggerman,
while the latter shrieked his throat hoarse
that Markman was the murderer.

On Jan. 9, 1939, a year later almost
to the day, Markman and Goldberg went
on trial for their lives before County
Judge Peter J. Brancato, with White,
Duke and Wood testifying in behalf of
the State.

Nine days later, after four hours’ de-
liberation, the jury returned a verdict of
first degree murder, carrying the death
penalty. Apr. 17 was fixed as the death
date for Markman and Goldberg but this
was set aside pending an appeal which is
now before the appellate court.

Wood and White, who had been com-
mitted as material witnesses, were re-
leased of any charges.
however, was indicted as an accessory to
a felony, to which charge he pleaded
guilty on Mar. 6, 1939. He was given a
one to five-years’ sentence.

story, are fictitious to protect the identity of innocent
persons.—Editor).

Smugglers’ Showdown

[Centinued from page 30]

Burns had received smuggled jewelry.

Albert N. Chaperau was formerly in the
consular service of a Latin American
country. Through these connections he
was able to evade United States customs
and had served as the intermediary.

Mrs. Lauer pleaded not guilty and was
placed under bond pending trial. Co-
median Burns promptly pleaded guilty
and agreed to cooperate fully with the
government in its investigation.

Comedian Benny first pleaded not
guilty but later changed his plea to guilty
and, as a result, was sternly unbraided
by the court when he received his sen-
tence.

The government estimated that Chap-
erau had arranged for the smuggling of
$10,000 worth of gems, clothes and other
finery.

Burns was fined $8,000 and given a one-
year’s suspended sentence. Benny re-
ceived a fine of $10,000 and a one-year’s
suspended sentence. Since he had first
indicated he would fight the case and then
had changed his plea, the court stiffly rep-
rimanded him. Benny bowed his. head
and admitted his shame as he stood before
the judge. ,

Mrs. Lauer was sentenced to prison,
however, because she was revealed to have
been a second offender. The court likened
her to a kleptomaniac.

Chaperau received the heaviest blow.
He first was fined $5,000 and sentenced to
five years in prison to be followed by a
long period of probation. His defense
was that he could not resist the desire to
associate with people of importance. His
sentence later was reduced to two years
because he had furnished information
which aided in prosecuting the cases.

Mrs. Lauer was the last of the three
prominent principals to come to trial. Ill-
ness had delayed judgment upon her.
When finally she came to court in her ex-
pensive limousine, she was accompanied
by a battery of attorneys and attended by
a physician and a white-uniformed nurse.

United States Attorney John C. Cahill
reminded Judge Vincent J. Leibell that
the defendant was a second offender, hav-
ing paid a $10,000 fine in 1937 for smug-
gling in dutiable clothes and jewelry from
Paris:

“What she did was the culmination of
a scheme she had carefully worked out,”
Cahill stated.

Defense Attorney John W. Davis
argued there would be no point in send-
ing his client to jail.

“Can you stand up?” Judge Leibell
asked the woman.

She seemed about to collapse when the
judge gravely said: “You are suffering
from insane vanity. Your constant vio-

noon in January, 1938, in the Brownsville section of Brook-
lyn, New York.

Almost as Jewish as the lower East Side in Manhattan, the
section is similarly agitated by a flux and flow of life that
seems almost endless. There are pushcarts containing fruits
and vegetables along many of the sidewalks. Between these
and the shops, men and women shoppers dart from stand to
stand, in stores and out again, seeking bargains.

One of the busiest shops was that of Isadore Frank, who
dealt in kosher meats and poultry. Frank had left the store
to make deliveries, to go to his bank, and perform several
other neighborhood errands. His wife found herself con-
fronted with an unusual number of customers, men whose
wives had sent them for choice cuts of beef, women with

Isadore Frank had a gun (permit

tied when two hoodlums held him
up. It was a brave but futile ges-
ture when he "took a sock" at one

keen eyes, seeking fowls that would produce the maximum
of chicken fat.

Serving first one customer, then another, Mrs. Frank
gradually became aware that a pair of cold eyes was fixed
on her, regarding her every movement.

LANCING AT THE MAN, Mrs. Frank saw he was about five
feet, eight inches tall, with wide shoulders. His eyes
were darkly insolent, fitting with his black curly hair and
full lips. Broad at the base, his nose made his face brutal,
the lines at the nostrils joining in the sneer with which he
regarded her.

gale shrieked over the
swampy wastes. where
farmer Philip Lombardi was
methodically dumping brush
from his truck parked atop the nearby highway.

Savagely the gusts knifed through his leather
jacket stinging his cheeks taut each time he
faced the canal embankment with another arm-
ful. Yet he was not too acutely conscious of his
present discomfort.

The half-acre just cleared would now permit
extra seeding in the spring so that in the fall
there would be more food to harvest; the gov-
ernment’s war program was calling for just
such additional plantings.

Pausing in his labors long enough to slap cir-
culation back into numbed fingers, Lombardi let
his gaze wander over the dreary desolation of
hummocky logs. How different this cheerless
scene, he mused, from the flourishing truck gar-
dens which would pattern the rich Canastota,
New York, mucklands a few months hence!

It was while idly surveying the lonely flats,
thus, that the young farmer’s attention was
suddenly seized by a curious sight some thirty
yards distant, down by the drainage canal.

Ineffectually, he blinked at wind-induced
tears. The vision persisted. Quickly he tore off
his stiffened mittens, rubbing vigorously at the

oddly sinister spectre. It was a pair of shoes,
feminine oxfords. And they were ominously
slanted in a-skyward parallel, an angle which
no shoes could achieve unless their owner’s feet
were within.

An involuntary shudder shook him as the full
realization began to dawn. All of a sudden he
felt a strange desire to flee. Indecisively he
stood there, buffeted by the bitter cold wind.
Nervous uncertainty slowly giving way to mor-

bid curiosity, he picked his way haltingly down
the canal bank a half dozen paces. It was close
enough to make a horrified verification. Half

‘hidden ‘beyond a tangle of briars and swamp

reeds lay the sprawled form of a woman. There
was no need to approach closer. The grotesque
position of her limbs and the marble pallor of
her skin attested mutely but eloquently to the
fact that she was quite dead.

For an eternity of seconds—or so it seemed—
the startled farmer stared wide-eyed, helplessly
rooted to the spot. Then, pivoting abruptly, he
bolted up the slope to his truck.

In December there are few residents to be
found in the farmhouses that fringe the lonely,
dank Canastota mucklands. Consequently, not

until he had driven three miles down the road.

to the home of Lyle Tabor, a year-’round farm-
er, did he find a telephone. After hearing Lom-
bardi’s excited report, Tabor, himself, called the
state police.

ESS than a half-hour later, Inspector John
Cosart, Sergeant Charles. A. Manning, and
trooper Fred Sargenti of the Bureau of Crim-
inal Investigation attached to Troop D, Oneida
Barracks, arrived at the scene. Lombardi, wait-
ing in hig truck, climbed out to greet them.
“It’s . . . she’s down there,” he said. ner-
vously, indicating with a wavering hand the
spot where the corpse lay. “You can’t miss it.
I... I'll wait right here.” Cosart was already
slipping and plunging down the steep embank-
ment, closely followed by Manning.
Death, apparently, is not always a grim, for-

‘bidding spectacle: the slender, dark-green

overcoated woman, who might have been thirty
years old, even in her present condition was

“

still possessed of a compelling ghostly beauty.
Face upwards, she lay, her head slightly turned
to one side, slender hands clasped to her head.

The intense cold had only served to keep
flower-fresh, it seemed, the arresting charm of
her angular features, complexion of alabaster,
and her dark auburn hair. She was, Cosart re-
flected, as well turned out as though she had
just stepped from some beauty salon. '

Except for a darkened patch where blood
had matted at the base of the skull, there were
no visible: marks of violence, Her overcoat,
made of a heavy, nubby material, was carefully
buttoned. It was also spotless and new-looking.
Hands, manicured and well tended, were free of
cuts or scratches. The position of the hands
clasped peculiarly to either side of the head
interested Cosart. He studied them intently,
frowning.

“Hit-and-run victim, you suppose?” Manning
ventured as he watched Cosart bend over the
huddled form. _

“Not so’s you’d notice it,” the inspector mut- _
tered, pointing to the lower left side of the
attractive victim’s head. “She’s been murdered
. . » with a blackjack, I’d say.”

Sergeant Manning kneeled beside his supe-
rior. ‘‘Doesn’t seem to be much blood around
the head wound,” he observed, puzzled.

“I think the hands pressed to her head ex-
plain it,” Cosart returned. “She was probably
beaten elsewhere—in a car, no doubt—and was -
alive when dropped here. Perhaps she regained
consciousness for a few seconds after her at-
tacker left, clasped her hands to her head to
relieve the pain—in this case, a fatal headache.
After her death, her hands quickly froze in the
position we find them.” ? ;

Both officers now directed their attention to
the jewelry worn by the dead woman. On her
right hand was a gold wrist-watch and a heavy,


-; small segment was. miss-

mannish-looking signet ring bearing the mono-’
ram “ROC.” On her left hand were a diamond
solitaire and a plain wedding band of platinum.
~ _ “Wonder why she isn’t wearing gloves?”
Manning asked abruptly. Cosart offered no
reply. He was studying the well shaped limbs,
sheathed in: silk, and the shiny-new, brown-
laced oxfords. ‘
“Woman like that would be wearing gloves,
all right ... even in the summer time. She’s

right all the way,” Cosart said after a moment’s

silence. “What I’m wondering is where she was
going all dyked out like that ... new shoes and
all. Notice, please, that the soles aren’t even dir-
tied. She probably got into the car which brought
her here directly after she left her home.”

“So ‘all we have to do is get a line on her and —

we find who took her riding,” Manning said
with mock seriousness, At this point, Trooper
Sargenti strode over.

“Picked up these, Inspector. Doesn’t seem to
be any trace of a purse or hat.” And he hand
his superior a pair of :
spectacles.

’  Cosart took the prof-
fered spectacles, ‘exam-
ined them with keen
interest. They were of un-
usual design, with bifocal
lenses rounded on the top
and squared on the bot-
tom. The nose piece and
bows were made of white

. gold. The left lens was
slightly cracked and a

ing from the upper part
» of the rim.
The inspector’s gaze
traveled swiftly to the
.- murdered woman’s finely
chiseled nose. There was:
“still a faint horseshoe in-
dentation in the skin iden-
tical with the gold bridge
of the glasses.
“Good work, Fred,”

Officials

were unable to
reason for her terrible and bloody end.

THE SLAYER OF THE GIRL
THEY COULDN’T IDENTIFY?

By FRANK JOHNSON

Cosart complimented. “These will be a big help
in giving a name to Mrs. X here, I think.”

EXT the officers searched the victim’s
clothes, eyes peeled for labels. There were
none. The’ coat pockets yielded only a lace hand-
kerchief with a single embroidered letter “P.”
Clipped to the upper portion of her dress was a
cameo locket-pin with a gold chain linked in
turn to a gold guard shaped in the form of a
black letter “M.” ;
‘ “Class pin, perhaps?” Manning hazarded.
Cosart made no reply. Instead, he stared at
the attractive ‘victim
silently. ““Whatever the
killer’s motive,” he said

finally, “it certainly
doesn’t appear to have
been robbery.”

“The killer wasn’t par-
ticularly worried about
her being identified by

rejoined. Cosart nodded.

Halting, for the mo-
ment, their study of the
corpse, the two officers
turned to question Lom-
bardi, who was hunched
behind the wheel of his
truck trying to keep
warm.

“Ever seen this - wo-

The murdered woman's child who was in the car
when her mother was dragged out and slaughtered.

ed with practically everyone within a radius of
five miles of Canastota, he said, but the auburn-
haired woman was a stranger. Cosart let him
go. Then he resumed his close scrutiny of the
corpse.

The victim’s new shoes were not scratched
or scuffed, corroborating his theory that she
had been beaten elsewhere and carried to the
spot. Why? The killer or killers had not tried
very hard to conceal the body. Nor had he—or
they—thrown the woman over the embankment
or dragged her to the canal bank. She had been
Jaid out carefully. Was it a twisted tenderness,
the concern of a lover or admirer for his once-
beloved? If so, what manner of map was the
powerful killer with the macabre sense of pro-
priety who had hoisted this dead weight down
the steep incline? Or had there been an accom-
plice?

Furthermore, what had been the motive for
the brutal murder? The missing purse—did it

45


denote robbery? If it did, why had the jewelry
been left behind? These were some of the ques-
tions to which Cosart would have liked to have
answers; these very answers, he felt, certain,
were bound up in the hidden identity of the
slain woman, whoever she was. _

After futilely combing the wind-swept road-
side and embankment for clues and leaving Sar-
genti to complete the photographing of the
body as well as recording the measurements
and positions, Cosart, accompanied by Manning,
returned to Barracks headquarters.

While Manning was arranging for a hearse
from the Fletcher Newberry Funeral Home in
Canastota to pick up the body, Inspector Cosart
put in a call to Coroner David J. Boyd at Chit-
tenango.

“We've just picked up an unidentified murder —

victim, Doc, but until we find out who she is
we’re stymied,” Cosart said.

“So you’d like a quick autopsy?”.

“Right, Doc. As soom as it’s over, we intend
to have the body prepared for public inspection
at the funeral home.”

“T’ll do my best,” Boyd said. And he hung up.

Cosart’s next move was to set in motion the
smooth-functioning mechanism of the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation.

In less than’an hour a description of the vic~
tim as well as the few known circumstances of
her death were being teletyped and short-waved
to every police headquarters in the state. Radio-
equipped cruisers were assigned to patrol the
highways leading in and out of Canastota
within a radius of 100 miles. Troopers were dis-
patched to question restaurant proprietors and
gas station attendants; other officers were de-
tailed to visit bus terminals and trucking con-
cerns in the hope that, what with the curtailed
auto travel some motorist might be found who
recalled seeing the woman along the route.

as missing wife of produce man.

“Some gap, isn’t it, Doctor?”

“Intense cold has a ten- -

dency to make facial tissues

Police feed the slayer and his girl friend in the
station house after they tell details of the crime.

Description of the attractive victim was also
relayed: to the state-wide Missing Persons
Bureau, as well as to nearby Syracuse. news-
papers. Sergeant Manning himself was assigned
to check . optometrists in Syracuse and Central
New York in an effort to trace the fitter of the
unusual pair of spectacles.

With the investigation well under way at
headquarters, Inspector Cosart departed for the
Fletcher Newberry Funeral Home to confer
with Coroner Boyd.

The medical examiner was rinsing his hands
with alcohol when Cosart arrived. He read the
questioning glance on the officer’s face. “Unfor-
tunately, a complete autopsy has not been per-
formed—and cannot be performed—due to the
frozen condition of the body. I am, however,
making a preliminary study—nothing much.
It’ll be a day or more before the results can be
posted.”

Boyd’s announcement was a blow to the in-
spector’s hopes. It meant more work, more val-
uable time devoted to estab-
lishing the victim’s identity

certain,” Coroner Boyd ex-
plained. .

Cosart nodded.

“She has a bad bruise on the right forearm;
a possible fracture,” Boyd continued. “Absence
of dirt on the clothes and the lack of skin abra-
sions would indicate the injury was not sus-
tained in a fall. Presumably, she was struck
while raising her arm to ward off a blow.”

“Speaking of blows, Doc, any theory as to
the murder weapon?”:

“A , hammer, probably. It’s hard to say for
sure.’

“And the finger-nail scrapings?” Cosart per-
sisted.

“Negative,” Doctor Boyd said.

HE medical examiner’s study had netted
other vital statistics such as height, weight,
color of eyes, etc. These Cosart jotted down. He
was about to leave when. he noticed the dead
woman’s jewelry lying on Dr. Boyd’s desk.

Hopefully, Cosart. examined them. Neither of. |

the rings bore the inner inscription that is usu-
ally found on wedding rings. The officer was
dropping the pieces into an envelope when Doc-
tor Boyd strode over to the desk.

“Almost forgot to tell you,” the coroner said,
“that the Marinello pin ought to make the kind
of lead you are looking for .’... that is, if she
earned it.”

“Earned it?” Cosart frowned.

Boyd nodded. “There was a woman—a hair-

and carried her almost bodil

boarding-houses. Apparently she had

no family, at least in this part of the .

State. That would explain why no
one had reported her missing.
, So far, so good, thought Cosart.

And the search now began for the
woman and her husband under the
name of Patane. What had happened
to him? Had they drifted apart shortly
after their marriage? Or was he in
some way connected with this horrible
crime?

Police in half a dozen cities combed
directories for a trace of the Patanes.
Beauty parlors again were visited.

“We haven’t much to show for our
ten days of intensive search,’ In-
spector Cosart told his men.: “But at
last we think we’re moving in the
right direction.”

The Patane couple evidently had
been of the roving kind. Maybe the
woman after her marriage had given
up her work and stayed at home. The
man’s work, whatever line he had been
in, evidently took him from one place
to another. They evidently had not
stayed long enough in any one place
to get into local records.

Before the end of the week came an-
other break, this time a telephone call
from Watervliet, a short distance from
Troy. .

“Henry Eckert, an optometrist here,
just dropped in at Headquarters to
tell.us he made glasses according to

your prescription published for a Mrs.

Patane,” said a Watervliet policeman.

“Recently?” demanded Inspector
Cosart eagerly.

“Only a few months ago.”

“Has he got her address?”

“It’s 1901 Broadway, Watervliet.”
Watervliet had lost no time getting
this news to Cosart. But to make sure
they were on the right track, an offi-
cer had gone to the Broadway address.

The Patanes lived there all right.
But the flat was closed up, and no one
had seen either Mrs, Patane, Joseph
Patane or the little girl, two-and-a-
half-year-old Patricia, since the first
week in December.

Nevertheless Cosart decided to go to
Watervliet himself. Surely he would
be able to track down this: Joseph
Patane from his last address.

Accompanied by Trooper Fred Sar-
genti and Sergeant Manning, Cosart
drew up in front of No. 1901 Broadway
that same afternoon. A short stop at
Watervliet Headquarters had added
nothing new. Obviously the Patane
flat was unoccupied. Cosart decided
to talk to the neighbors.

None of them had recognized the
photograph of the mucklands victim
as that of Mrs. Patane. But now they
saw the resemblance.

How Could |

the deputy leaped from his car and

grabbed the gun from Roxie’s hands.

The gun had been in the deputy’s

car when Roxie and Jessie got in, and
oxie had snatched it up before he
DHuld stop her.

DB aes of the gun, Roxie still
meant to do me harm. She ran to
our car and flung open the door. She
clutched me and dragged me out and
onto the ground... .-

I fought back. But the fight ended
almost as soon as it had begun. The
deputy and Luther got Roxie oe pe
o the

Patane had been in and out of the
flat since the first week in December
but never had stayed long.

“He came in his car,” volunteet€d a
woman. “A girl was with him.”

“Know what part of the State he is
from?” Cosart asked.

“His folks live in Canastota, he told
me once,” answered another neighbor.
“His family?” demanded Cosart.

The man nodded. “I asked him
where his wife and the baby were
and he said the Missus had taken a
job and the little girl was with his
folks at Canastota.”

He could look up that family later,
thought Cosart. What he wanted to
know was where. this Joseph Patane
might be found.

“He’s a truck driver,” Cosart was
told. For whom, no one knew, although
one man recalled that Patane once had
spoken of the market at Menands, be-
tween Albany and Troy, and of having
to be there early in the morning.

_Joseph Patane, climbing down from
his truck the next morning, found him-
self facing three officers.

“Patane?” the oldest of the three,

asked.

Joseph Patane took a deep breath.
Then he nodded.

“What is it, Mister?” he asked.

“We want you to come back to
Canastota with us,” answered Cosart.

FIRST the party stopped at Troop G,
Troy Barracks. Here Patane was
questioned for the first time. Reluc-
tantly he gave the address of his new
residence and admitted: the presence
there of another woman.

Sergeant Fred Schoqnmaker left for
the new Patane home while others,
headed by Assistant District Attorney
Nelson Neidhardt, continued to ques-
tion Patane.

Patane obviously was worried. He
made no attempt to evade answering
questions. He had no defense, no alibi
ready. He spoke slowly.. He was a
stocky man, dark-skinned, with eye-
glasses that gave him a reserved look.

“I have spent many years in Canas-
tota,” Patane admitted. “My adopted
parents live there. People there know
me as Joseph Mascari.”

“What came between you and your
wife?” Patane was asked.

Patane had talked freely before, but
he was suddenly silent at this question.
He shrugged his shoulders.

“You recognize her as the dead
woman found in the mucklands?”

Patane glanced at the photo held
out. Then he nodded. “I guess so,”
he admitted. “

“Someone who knew that part of
the country left her there, Patane.”

“Not me,” answered Patane.
“Who else, then?”

“Why should I want to kill her? j.
She was a good wife to me. She went
away for work and I took the baby |

to my folks. Then I come back
here.”

Patane would admit no trouble be-
tween himself and his wife. | ..

“What of the.-girl in your ear one
night when you came back’ to get
some things from your flat?”

Patane hesitated. “I-don’t know any-
thing about a girl,” he answered
slowly. 2)

Sergeant Schoonmaker brought the
next important contribution to the
mystery. With him was an attractive
young woman, barely in her twenties.

Patane paled. His eyes glanced at
the girl, then away.

“She’s Patane’s wife,” announced
Schoonmaker. “They were married
December 9, somewhere in Vermont.
That’s what she told me.”

This girl had known Patane for some
time, she admitted. Her name was
Anna Gelina.

She and Patane were taken to
Oneida Barracks, where District At-
torney Cfarence E. Conley, Assistant

Neidhardt and others who had been

working on the case were waiting.

The session lasted until daybreak.
Reporters from Oneida, Utica and
Schenectady were on hand, asking
for the latest development.

“Patane admits a struggle with his
wife December 5, near the spot where
her body was .discovered,” Sergeant
Manning, the delegated spokesman,
told them. “He assaulted her with his
fists, he says.”

Patane, or Mascari, as Canastota
knew him, had been married three
times. First, under the name of Mas-
cari, when he had two children.

In 1939, he married Rose O’Connel
under the name of Joseph Patane. But
his first marriage was not dissolved
by divorce until 1941 in Schenectady.
His third marriage, Patane told them,
with Anna Gelina, took place some-
where in Vermont, December 9.

Joseph Patane was charged with
first-degree murder. The motive, said
District Attorney Conley, was to make
it possible for Patane to marry the
other woman.

“Patane admits his wife was dead
when he left her,” reporters also were
told. “Also that he did strike the

-hammer blows.”

And Friday, March 26, 1943, Joseph
Patane was found guilty of first-
degree murder. Anna Gelina appeared
as a State’s witness at the trial. No
charges were pressed against her at
any time. : ;

Get Into This? (Continued from Page 19)

But if I was not going to return to
Harrison, then I had to find a job, to
live. I told Luther of this.

“In that case, Mary,’ he replied,
“T know where I can get you the job.
A friend of mine has a tourist camp
and cafe on the highway near Sweet-
water. That’s about thirty miles. I’ll
take you there.”

We drove a round-about road back
to within a half-mile of Tellico Plains,
and I waited while Luther went to
his home to pick up my clothes and to
find out what his wife intended to do.

When he returned he had only an
overnight bag containing one dre

mine. That would have saved him a
world of agony—and me, too.

But the next morning he drove up
tothe camp. He came to tell me his

wife and her sister Jessie had taken |

the children to West Virginia. He
didn’t know if they would return. He
said he could not find my clothes or
tell which were which and he thought
I’d better come with him and pack
them myself.
See how fate conspired to snare us?
Had Luther brought my clothes, I
should not now be here behind iron
bars, telling you this story.

NSPECTOR John A. ie was

growing impatient. He shifted
the receiver from his left ear
and rolled his cigar from the left

: side of his mouth to the right.

“Yes, yes, Miss Adair—I have your
name,” he said, “and we'll try to
find her. Yes, we’ll do our best. Yes.
Goodbye. Yes. Goodbye.”

He paused, telephone in hand, as
he heard the click at the other end
of the line. For a moment, he seemed
to be balancing the gadget in prep-
aration to tossing it out the window.
He grunted, removed his cigar,
looked from the cigar to the tele-
phone and cradled the receiver
gently. He took a deep breath.

“What do people think we are—

_ Sergeant Charles A. Manning
grinned down at his superior officer

and-‘friend. “What is it—another

“You're right. The fourth this

“Well, what are you worried

Cosart didn’ + eh until he had

glowed red, and tossed the match

)  Cosart frowned. If the woman had :
gone away for any length of time,

she certainly would have needed

her winter clothing. He peered fur-
‘ther, and as he did, his scowl

deepened. Judging from the looks
of things, the woman hadn’t taken
any of her clothing with her at all.

Cosart turned back to the land-

lady. “Didn’t her husband keep his _

clothing here?” he said.

The woman nodded and pointed
to a closet door in the opposite wall.
He strode to it and opened it. As
he expected, this closet, too, was in
good order. There was a gap in the
row here and there, as if certain
articles were missing, but for the
most part the wardrobe was com-

plete. Cosart did not notice an over-

coat among the other garments and
commented upon it.

“Oh, but he had one,” the land-
lady said. “A rough green—tweed
I think.” -

There was nothing else of inter-

est in the apartment. Cosart put a
‘few more questions to the land-

lady as he prepared to leave. Did
she’ know where Mr. Patane

worked? Did she know where the ©

parents of the missing couple lived?
What was the woman’ s name before

her marriage?
~The woman could not give affir-

mative answers to any of the in-
spector’s questions.

“T don’t pay any attention to my-

tenants” business,” she said, a little
coolly.

Cosart regarded her thoughtfully.

Then he motioned to his fellow offi-
cers to follow as he stepped to-
ward the hall door.

Suddenly he stopped. He had a
recollection of something in that
bedroom—something that had been
out of place in all that neatness
and order. He motioned the others
to wait and stepped quickly back
into the room. He ran his eyes
quickly around the wall and over

“the furniture. There! There upon

the dresser was the object that had

jarred upon his feeling for the

orderliness of the room. It was a
tube of lipstick. Cosart picked it
up. It had been lying at an oblique
angle to the neat rows of beauty
preparations.. He looked at it. The
make was well-known and expen-
sive, but the color, a garish purple,

_ didn’t seem consistent with the sub-
“dued taste of the woman who lived

in that room. He placed the tube in
his pocket and rejoined the others
fe © SA
FEW minutes later, Cosart,
Manning -and Sargenti were

speeding back to headquarters in

Oneida.

“What do you make of it, Chief?”
Manning asked, as they stepped
from the cold of the driveway into
the ingratiating warmth of the office.
- “Other than what you’ve seen, I
make nothing of it. If anything, it'll

be more the matter of finding the

-missing husband than of finding
_ the missing wife. Men are always a.
great deal easier to find thary, miss- _
: ing women.” — = * Sea

With that Cosart reached for ‘the
buzzer on his desk. He pressed it.
Two troopers Tesponded to the sig-

‘nal.
“Take these two ‘men ed see

what information you can get on
Patane,” he directed Manning. “Of
course, keep one eve peeled for the
woman.’

They turned to Zo ‘when’ Manning
stopped and wheeled around. -

“Say, Chief,” he asked, “did you 3
notice that diploma on the wall ihc

the bedroom?”

~ . “Not particularly. Why?”

“It was from the Marinello Beau-
ty College, although it didn’t say
from what one. Mrs. Patane was a
graduate of the school.”

“Good!” Cosart said. “We'll in-
quire there later. Meanwhile, check
the morgue and the hospitals. And
concentrate on the man.’

Manning acknowledged the in-

structions and strode out of the

room. Cosart remained at his desk.
He wanted to think the matter over.
Was this a routine case or wasn’t
it? Certain details bothered him.
For instance, the winter clothing.
The child’s winter clothing was gone,

_ but the woman’s had been left. be-

hind. Why? And why was the hus-
band’s winter clothing left behind,

too? There was something mighty :

peculiar about the whole set-up—

_ something that definitely warranted

investigation.
Then there was the lipstick. He

pulled the tube from his pocket and

looked at it thoughtfully.

After a moment, he shrugged his
shoulders and turned to a sheaf of
papers which lay upon his desk. He
would get busy on something easy
for a while—something like that
burglary in the north end of the dis-
trict. Two weeks had passed, and
he hadn’t turned up so much as a

lead. He put the Patane case out of .
. his mind and turned to more press-

ing matters. Or tried.

He lit a fresh cigar and began
humming a tune. He picked up a
pencil and doodled squares on the
papers he was examining. Sudden-

‘ly he put down the pencil and

reached for the telephone, and
dialed the number of the Bureau
of Automobile Registration.

“Y’]] see, Inspector,” the

“Good. Call me back as su Jas

Cosart spent a restless ‘ten min-

and he broke the point of his pen-. |

OSART had just cradled the re-

It was the clerk at the Bureau of

reeled off the license number of the

on the verge of hanging up when
she said: “Our records show that

license in 1939, in case it’s of any
interest.”

“O. K. Thanks,” the inspector said,

"ARTHUR MAYHEW ELECTROCUTED. Sing Sing, N. Y., March 12, = Arthur Mayhew
was electrocuted at 11:30 this morning. As Mayhew was being strapped into
the RXMAXKAAMKAAX AKXXXXROXKMA AXHARKKHRY death chair he ejaculated: 'Jesus
Christ, have mercy uvon me,' and to the attending priests said that he
was an innocent man, and did not commit the murder for which he was
condemned. Mayhew added that the murderers were Frank Alfred and John
Wayne. AXKKA Alfred's name had not previously been connected with the
crime, He is believed to be 95 negro of Hempstead, L, I.

"Dr, Irvine, the prison physician, and the other doctors who witnessed
the execution, pronounced Mayhew dead one minute and nineteen seconds
after the first current was turmed on, The body was then removed from
the deathhouse to the dissecting room of the execution chamber, where

the autopsy was held,

"At 11 l'clock on the night of March 7, 1896, Stephen Powell, the 70-
year-old superintendent of the Hempstead (L. I.) gas works, closed his
office and started homewards, It was his custom to carry large sums of
money on his person. When he had almost reached his home Arthur Mayhew,

For his share in the night's work he is now serving 15 years in Sing

was postponed on account of a retraction of his confession by Wayne.
However, Judge Keogh did not believe that Wayne had perjured himself in
the first instance, and refused to grant a new trial. And so to-day
the murder of old tephen Powell was expiated at Sing Sing."

NEW. YORK. POST, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1992

The last NYC cop fo put a killer in the chair

McALARY from Page 5

in the oak chair.

An entire generation of New York
City cops have come, put in their 20
years and retired without seeing a
prisoner executed. To their way of
thinking, this is like playing the
game of baseball without home
runs.

The family of the woman Mays
murdered in a 1961 Harlem bar
holdup cannot be located. The jury
foreman in the case, Robert Sour,
died in 1985. The Manhattan judge
who heard the case, Irwin David-
son, is also dead. Mostly, this
leaves history to John Jones.

“I have no qualms about the
guy’s execution,” said Jones, who
took the confession that assured
Eddie Lee Mays’ execution. “I did-
n't kill the woman in the bar. He
did that. I only caught him.”

Eddie Lee Mays emerged from a

bad childhood as a perfectly repre-
hensible adult. As Public Enemies
go, Mays was pretty ordinary.
News of his arrest warranted only
a seven-paragraph story in the
Daily News. The Post handled his
execution in a brief.

Mays entered the Friendly Bar in
East Harlem on March 12, 1961,
and reportedly yelled, “I'm going to
kill somebody.” He then walked
over to Maria Marini, aged 31, and
demanded her pocketbook.

“I mean it,” Mays said. “I'll show
you.”

He then pointed a pistol at the
petrified woman and pulled the
trigger. Maria Marini died with an
empty pocketbook clutched to her
throat. :

John Jones was working out of
Fort Apache on Simpson Street in
The Bronx back then and was in-
vestigating a string of liquor-store

robberies. The detective happened
upon a female wino who said she
had information to trade for grape.
Jones bought her a bottle of wine.
After finishing it, the woman in-
formed cops the Eddie Lee Mays
gang was holed up in her daugh-
ter’s railroad flat.

“Eddie Mays was frying eggs in
the kitchen when we hit the door,”
Jones recalled. “He had two guns
on the window sill. We had the drop
on them. One of the guys with him
pulled a gun, and I told him, Tll
blow your head off.’ Back then, you
could say things like that and
mean them.”

Eddie Lee Mays was led back to
the precinct house. Jones and his
partners — Val Martin and Frank
Taylor — proceeded to take the
confession of the last man to be ex-
ecuted in New York.

“Eddie didn’t seem like a bad
guy,” Jones said. “I've met much

worse. You felt bad for him in a
way because, well, under the cir-
cumstances, he didn't seem like a
bad guy.”

“Was he reluctant to talk?” Jones
was asked.

“Oh, no,” he said. “He was a nice
guy. But when the guy started talk-
ing we all knew he was gonna go.
And when I say go, I mean go all
the way to the chair.

“It was an easy one,” he contin-
ued. “He was very cooperative. You
didn’t need any coercion. These
guys knew what they were doing.
And they knew it was going to be
over as soon as they got caught.”

“What about the confession? Did
Mays write one out?”

“Oh, no,” Jones said. “Back then it
was different. We typed them up
and the prisoner signed them. I
can’t remember if Eddie Mays
signed his or not. He may have just
signed his with an X.”

this abusive delay, which has
been compounded by last-
minute attempts to manipulate
the judicial process,” the top
court said in a 7-2 ruling.

Dissenting justices John Paul
Stevens and Harry Blackmun
called the gas chamber “barbar-
ic,” and compared it to the “use
of cyanide gas in the Holo-
caust.”

“The development of cyanide
agents as chemical weapons,
our contemporary understand-
ing of execution by lethal gas,
and the development of less-
cruel methods of execution all

demonstrate that execution by
cyanide gas is unnecessarily
cruel.”

The killer gas was introduced
at 6:05 a.m. California time —
9:05 EDT. .

“His eyes rolled. His head
hung down, then raised slowly
all the way back until it tilted
backward,” said witness Mi-
chelle Locke, a writer for The
Associated Press.

“His head sank forward again,
and he convulsed.”

He lost consciousness at 6:12
and was pronounced dead at 6:21
a.m.

Harris, 39, shot to death two

San Diego teen-agers so he
could use their car for a bank
robbery in 1978.

Politicians reacted swiftly to
the execution.

“It’s a tragic retrogression,”
Gov. Cuomo told The Post yes-
terday.

Cuomo has repeatedly vetoed
death-penalty legislation in
New York.

“Watch the crime rate in Cali-
fornia. See if it goes down be-
cause of this,” he said.

Former California governor
and presidential candidate
Jerry Brown told The Post: “I
am against capital punishment.

When one leaves this planet for
good it should not be the deci-
sion of other people, but of a
higher being.”

Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton last
month OK'd the execution of a
retarded man who was con-
victed of murder.

The last person executed in
California was police killer
Aaron Mitchell, who fought with
guards and shouted that he was
Jesus Christ as he was strapped
into the gas chamber in 1967.

Gov. Pete Wilson last week re-
fused to grant clemency to Har-
ris.

Mays was then turned over to
detectives working the
Harlem murder case. John Jones
never saw Eddie Lee Mays again.
Occasionally, Jones would read the
doomed man’s name in the newspa-
per. Mays sought a new trial on the
ground that his confession was
made under duress. Mays lost the
appeal and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
rejected an appeal for clemency. :

“The next thing I know he’s dead
in the newspaper,” Jones said.

There have been a lot of articles
about Mays since then. They carry
headlines like “The Executioner’s :
Swan Song” and “The Last Man to
Die in the Electric Chair.” Jones
collects most of them.

Occasionally, Jones will get to-
gether with friends and talk about
the case. The retired detective is
like that baseball player who re-
tires with some batting title. There
is one part of Jones that wants to
see his record eclipsed and another
part that wants to see it left on the
board.

“I still favor the death penalty,”
Jones said. “But every time you
have a few beers with the guys and
start talking about crime, you get
to thinking, ‘What are we going to
kill these guys for?’”

John Jones hasn't talked to a
newspaper about Eddie Lee Mays
since that spring day 31 years ago
when he caught the killer frying
eggs. The frying of Eddie Lee
Mays didn’t make John Jones a
better detective. Jones came and
went a good one. But he can't quite
lose that image of Eddie Lee Mays
standing in a Bronx apartment,
skillet in hand. And when it comes
to making New York a better town,
a good public sizzling is about as
important as frying an egg.

booked for felony murder—

T’S TRUE, MARIA MARINI DIDN’T MOVE
quickly to hand over her purse to the three
thugs sticking up a bar that night in East
Harlem. She was, of course, petrified with
fear. 3

Angered by her immobility, one of the bandits
summarily put a pistol to Maria’s head and blew
part of it off. 2

It may be comforting to know that this cold-
blooded killer died in the electric chair in Sing
Sing, exactly 25 years ago tomorrow. His name
was Eddie Lee Mays and the only thing notewor-
thy about him is that his execution on Aug. 15,
1963, made him the last person to burn for his
crimes in New York State.

The brutal crime occurred at 3:45 a.m., March
12, 1961. Three men with guns walked into the
Friendly Tavern at 1403 Fifth Ave. The lead man
carried a pistol in each hand and he fired shots
into the floor and ceiling. This got immediate at-
tention.

“This is a stickup!” he snarled.

A dozen patrons and the bartender froze, some
with hands over their heads. Two-Gun ordered
them to put their wallets and other valuables on a
table near the end of the bar. “I’m gonna kiil
somebody!” he barked. :

Marini, 31, was with her husband, Ramon Gar-
cia, and several friends. She lived in the neigh-
borhood and was known as “Pearl.” While other
drinkers leaped to comply with the thug’s orders,
Pearl did not. Wide-eyed, paralyzed with fear,
Pearl stood clutching the purse to her throat.

“You think I’m not going to do it,” Two-Gun
shouted. “I mean it and I’m going to show you.”

He meant it. Pearl died instantly. ‘

One of his henchmen opened Pearl’s purse and
found it empty. The three swept up their loot,
$275 in bills and some change, and fled.

Police found few clues, but they decided that
the bandits were probably the same gang that had
staged a rash of stickups in the area.

Several weeks after the Friendly Tavern kill-
ing, a woman reported to police that her daugh-
ter was being held captive on Kelly Street in the
Hunts Point section of the South Bronx by a man
who terrified her. Also in the apartment, the
woman stated, was “‘a flock of guns.” ie

On March 28 police knocked at the door of that
apartment and got no response. They pushed
their way in and found three men and three wom-
en hiding in a closet and under a bed. They also
found five guns and hundreds of rounds of ammu-
nition:

One of the men was Mays, 32, who had a long
record of arrests. The others were Jose Sanchez-
Fernandez, 30, and David Johnson, 34, both also
stellar crime performers. One of the women was

Mays’ girlfriend, whose mother had phoned cops. .

Detectives were amazed how quickly the three
men admitted that over the past six weeks they
had staged 52 heistsin Man- —_
hattan, the Bronx and New ~
Jersey. One of these was the ©
fatal Friendly Tavern stick-
up. The total take was about
$30,000.

Scattered through the
apartment when police
raided it was jewelry taken
during these heists.

The patrons of the
Friendly Tavern fingered
Mays as the trigger-happy
killer who shot down Maria
Marini. And the next day he
confessed. The three were

murder committed during a
felony, a holdup.

Mays had been in trouble
‘most of his life. Born March
15, 1929, in Walstonburg,
N.C., the youngest of five
children, he was six months
old when his father, Wil-
liam, abandoned the brood
for the lure of Baltimore.
There he served time for
murder. -

Puny Eddie dropped out
“OF school at 14 and did odd
jobs around town for sever-
al months. Then he lit out
for Baltimore, too. At 16,

After six months in jail, Mays returned to Novi

Direct: —~Got agunat H's the next day
after tho tragedy, examined it, it waa loaded
and wus dry rovad the muzzle and eap; don't
think thore was acap on; give the gun to
Jobn Kelsey to ea ry to the Diat. Attorney,
the gun is in ths Shorifll’s Hour

Crosa-Lxamined :—Can tell that gun from
any other, there are a number of marks on it;
tho peculiarity about this pua is that it is an
oldivh gun, used to bea nflo and bored out;
haven't kept charge of -the gun; I kept
McC’s gua in the clothes press in my house
and keptall the things there together and
carried the key in my pocket; got H’s gun
in the morning from 1i’s house ; put rod in
the gun there : tried to blow through it to
see if it vas loaded ; thore was no cap on the
H. pun to my knowledge; some one said
you'll shoot somebody, the gun is loaued ; 80
[ tore off w piece of window curtain and put
under the hammer ; hayen’t done anything to
discharge the gun ;(McC’s gun shown wit-
ness), it is a shot gun ; don’t know that it is
an army gun ; (post shown witness), the sido
marked with shot stood on the lot side; it was
part of fenco, looked for it and coulda’t see
it ot first, Mc said it is yonder, one board
was nailed to the fence near the bottom, saw
only one board, think it was a middle post;
shot not near the board; the post was part ct
toad fence; post was 2) fect west from front
ot house, it was the third from tho gate
counting the gate post; the gate is bout op-
posite the door step, the entrance from the
east; across the road the ground rises so that
itis higher; if shot had gone across the
road it might have gone into the ground.

Direct—Ifa cap was on the H. gun it
came off when it uncocked ; tested the gun
to sea if it was loaded and then handed it to
Kelsey ; (gun of McC’s,—wormer or ram
rod, the window sash,the post, can of powder
and pistol introduced in evidence.)

got it ; 1 got several guns bofore he took one;
(McC’s gun shown witnoss and identified ),
asked me what it was worth and he said Ru-
fus esked $2 for it; told him I thought it
worth more ; Frank Weldon was there and
McC called to him and asked what it was
worth, and Frank said $1.50; Frank looked
at it and said, this gan is loaded, and tried it
and said a big charge was init; I said I did
not know it; McC said it was rusty, he'd
take it home, and if not spoilt he’d pay me
for it next week Wednesday or Thursday ;
he took the gun and set it down at rear of
house and went to tbe village ; towards
night he came back and afterwards I found
that the gun was gone; (shot pouches shown
witness), have seen them at home, last saw

tion except they were not tied together. Did
your brother have any other shot than those?

Mrs. HaAywoop recalled and her examin-
ation resumed. Obtained the gun from Ru-
fus’ room up stairs ; ho kept his things and

took he didn’t consider the one he locked at.

grated his teeth when he told me in
the road at time he threatened father’s
life; he was 3 feet from me, and don’t
know whether he’d been drinking or
not; I thought at times he’d been
drinking ; at othor times thought he’d
been drinking ; at the first survey you
(Holden) was there and Padoney ;
spoke of shooting at that time;
said it would. not be healthy
for any one to take down that
fence 1f they had not authority
couldn’t say what was said about
shooting at that time,

Direct:—Some talk about taking
down ferce; said when they had a le-
gal right to move it they could; (pistol
shown witness,) that is mine; a bullet
it a
year ago last fall, got the builet in and
couldn’t get it out; no other gun has
been in father’s house except one
shown me, that was kept in bedroom
leading out of kitoben at foot of bed;
(cartridges shown witness) recognize
them, they were left by a friend, and
the bullets are the ones I flattened and
got one in pistol, they have been in
house 4 or 5 years,

PEOPLE REST,

.

OPENING OF DEFENCE,

Stersrn Houtppn opened for tho
prisoner, We abstract his specoh as
follows:

** Gentlemen of the Jury:—The timo
has come to toll youn what wo propose
to doin the case.” Hespoke of tho
responsibility he felt at being charged
with the defence of a man’s life, Sure-
ly the Jury sympathised with him.
Proscoution have tho advantage in
opening the cause, Defense have to
overcome avy bias the ovidence of tho
prosecution has worked upon tho
minds of the Jury. Jury are askod to
seo that crime was vot ‘allo: ed to
run riot over the fand,” and the infer-
ence was that the courts had not done
their duty inthe past. Life is a con-
dition of trials, aud everybody is
in danger : Mercy is brave;
cruelty is cowurdly. An appeal
to do a oowzrdly act will not be heard
by this Jary. OUounsel then dis-
cussed thé definition of murder, The
definition of murder in the first degree
is not to be taken from connsel on
eithor side, but from the Court. Ooun-
sel disoussed what intention and pre-
meditation mean in convection with
murder, The People are bound to es-
tablish eyery element that is necessary
to the crime, and every doubt
must go to the benefit of the
prisoner. ‘The People may prove
killing without intent, but that
would not be sufficient , counsel spoke
of circumstantial evidence, and thata
murder may be proved by ciroumstan-
tial evidence, but the circumstances
must be such that they will admit of
no Other explanation. A great amount
of evidence does not prove any more—
a chain can only be as strong as the
weakest link, Wo'don’t deny that
Hatch was killed nor that McCann had
a gun ; but we do deny that the histo-
ry of his getting the gun does prove
anything more than that he had the
gan. He got it with most innocent in-
tention; nothing more is conn: cted with
it than in the case of any man getting a
gun, Weshall show that McOann bad
had many guns ; thet the last gun he
had before the one spoken of in this
trial, was burned up, and a poor mau
cannot buy a gun coly when ho can get
one cheap, Before making investment
in powder and shot, he thought to try
the gun, aud 80 borrowed some pow~

‘| der, and so in the case of caps; did it

all opexly and innocently, just as any
man might do. All this ovidence about
getting the gua amounts to no more
than that one person had sworn that he
had the gun, Mrs, Hatch swears posi-
tively that she saw MoOann do the
deed, but they have not shown that her
reputation was good, And we shall not
disappoint the prosecation in their ex-
pectation that her reputation will be
attacked. She swears that she did
threaten to shoot the commissioner of
bighways, but explains it by the weak

ness of her nerves, They havo not
tried to search anywhoro for weapons
in the Ontoh house, except in the kitoh.
on and the bed room. They have cure-
fully avoided all other parts of the
house, and shown how skillfal they
were in showing ‘how not to doit,’ Their
w ole course is suspicious, Thoy rest
litterally up on her evidence, If she
did the deed, she noeded an explana-
tion and it was easy. Then we have
her manner, If she was a well ordered
moind, she would not stop on the wit-
ness stand to tell how much she thought
of her man. It was not always so, for
we have itin evidence that she toid
him he “bad better quit.” ‘Ihe
prosecution said the head of the
family was gone. Ali the evidence
shows that Mrs. Hatchis the head of
the family. Sho is nearly forty-six
but sho looks much older. She is
strong though sho appears so weak.
Sho can put on overalls and go into
the berry field, end when she
wanted to answer had voice enough,
bat ongeross-examination would speak
so low that we could scarcely hear hor,

Oounsel spoke of the appearance of so
many newspaper men on the stand,
and thought that this worming into
peoples’ confidence to make nows is

not altogether reputable, ‘Thought
probably so many journalists were
called to give dignity to the case,
Oounsel animadverted to the evidence
given of his (Holden's) interview with
MoOann at Bryant’s honse, and claim-
6d that BMoOrrr’> .+!

Lyons avenue address, which was in the
residential section. A kindly, gray-haired
woman of about 50 admitted them to the
house. A look of profound astonishment
marred her face when Sullivan identified
himself and asked to see Donald Dodd.

“Why ... He doesn't live here any-
more!” she exclaimed. “He moved from
here about 13 or 14 months ago, sometime
before Christmas I think. Nothing's hap-
pened to him, I hope. He’s such a nice,
polite young man.”

Sullivan and Josephs were taken aback
by the inconsistency of the woman’s in-
formation as compared to the information
supplied by the motor vehicle bureau.

“Are you sure, Madam, that he left in
December 1936 and not sometime after
Aug. 9 of last vear?” Josephs demanded.

“Tam positive about when he left,” the
woman said with quiet finality.

Back at headquarters Sullivan and
Josephs were aroused from gloomy
thoughts into a state of sudden excite-
ment. The killer’s car, a radio dispatcher
phoned in, had been found abandoned at
Chester and Dumont avenues.

Seek Car Owner

RRiVING there five minutes later,
Sullivan, Josephs, States and Beck
found the scene already occupied by
fingerprint men who were “dusting” for
prints. Also there, were the radio patrol-
men who had spotted the car while
cruising by.

The first thing the detectives noted
was that the car had been stripped of its
plates. Sweeping as their rummaging,
peering and prying was, they found noth-
ing in or about the car. Their only hopes
centered around the fingerprints, of which
the experts found plenty, and the car
itself.

Sullivan turned over to the auto squad
a description of the car, with the serial
and motor numbers, requesting them to
check the stolen car files from as far back
as early 1936.

In less than an hour came the reply that
the car had been stolen on Nov. 2, 1937,
which was but two months before. One
thing, however, didn’t jibe with the facts
concerning the car. The license plates.
The original plates, valid under law until
Feb. 1, 1938, had been discarded and the
other plates, No. 3G4160, put on.

Came the report of the fingerprint ex-
perts. There were no prints in the New
York identification files that matched
those taken from the car. Along with
that came reports from Bandarenko and
McCowl that they could find no pictures
of the men they had seen.

Altogether it was a very discour-
aging and misleading beginning, Sul-
livan felt, as he issued an eight-state
alarm for Dodd and his pal as well as a
department-wide order, through Com-
missioner Valentine, for all patrolmen and
detectives to keep a sharp look-out for
the two men. ;

One day:in mid-April, just after a
typical April shower, two sewer cleaners
made a discovery in the sewer at East
Olst street and Newport avenue. A .38
caliber Spanish Alfa revolver and a set
of 1937 license plates, No. 3G4160, had
been disinterred from a mass of black
slime and filth.

Promptly they notified the police and
the evidence was turned over to Detec-
tive King, who gave the gun over to Lieut.
Harry Butts of the ballistics bureau for
examination and comparison with the
body bullets.

The plates and gun were good as evi-
dence but did not bring the officers any
closer to the culprits.

The discovery made headlines and the
headlines rekindled public interest.
Twenty-four hours had hardly gone by
when a youth of about 24, slim, light-
haired, a rather pale complexion set off
by small, beady brown eyes presented
himself before Josephs and said he was
Louis White, proprietor of a small auto
supply store.

“I think I’ve got something thae’ll
interest you about the Frank case,” he
said in a flat and toneless voice.

Josephs nodded for him to explain him-
self.

“T read about the things those sewer
men found yesterday,” the youth began,
rubbing his chin with long, bony fingers.
“And I think I ought to tell you that a
couple of days before the murder
happened, a car pulled up to my place
with two guys in it. They asked me to
do a small job on their radio. And while
I was working on it, I heard them talking
about a poultry dealer on Blake avenue.

“One of them said, ‘That guy Frank
thinks he’s wise. Just because he’s got
a pistol permit, he doesn’t take his dough
to the bank every day. Carries it around
with him as easy as you please.’ I didn’t
hear anything more because they sort of
whispered after that.”

“Why didn’t you come out with all
this sooner?” Josephs asked testily.
“Don’t you know how important any-
thing of that nature might be in a murder
investigation?”

White shrugged his drooping shoulders.
“Yeah, I know.... But I was afraid of
getting mixed up in any trouble.”

“Why come out with it now?” Josephs
snapped.

Again White shrugged, this time
smiling thinly. “Call it conscience
or civic duty if you wish,” he said easily.
“T finally felt that a citizen should do his
share anytime he can help the police any.”

“What did these men look like?”

“I’m afraid I didn’t get a good look at
them. It was kind of dark. The driver,
though, was dark-haired and heavy built.
Had a soft voice. The other was taller
and not as stocky.”

“And did you get the number of the
car?”

“Yeah, I did. I wrote it down on a
scrap of paper but I guess I lost it or
something, because I couldn’t find it when
I looked for it today.”

Concealing his annoyance as best he
could, Josephs thanked the fellow and
closed the interview. As soon as White
left, Josephs got Sullivan on the phone
and said excitedly: “Will you have some-
body do a little quiet watching over a
man named Louis White, who has an
auto supply store? There’s something
fishy about him. I have an idea that he’s
trying to either show he’s not afraid of
the law or trying to throw us off whatever
trail he thinks we’ve got in the Frank
murder.” Josephs then recounted all that
had transpired.

Senft was given the assignment. For
several days he carried on his investiga-
tion quietly and unobtrusively. Then, on
Apr. 22, with a gleam in his eyes, he
announced: “There is something funny
about that guy. And the same goes for
the two guys he pals with, a Charles
Duke and a Harry Wood. Neither of
them come up to the description of Dodd
and his accomplice, yet they give me the
impression as being on the jump for
something. About two hours ago, White

harm they got a confession from her im-
plicating her foster-father as the ring-
leader of the gang, and a statement that
her foster-mother had sat in on the con-
ferences when the robberies and kidnap-
ing were planned.

The case took an amazing turn when
she implicated Walter Kiewat and Charles
Wright, the men on the ice truck who
had been questioned once before. Kiewat
was a married man with four children,
while Wright was the sweetheart of
Bessie. Other members included James
Miller, a brother of Mrs. Collier, and
Wesley Christiansen who lived at 77th
and Lincoln avenue.

Before she had finished talking de-
tectives were speeding out to Collier’s
home at 86th and Slinger avenue. Here
they found James Miller and an aged
woman relative. Miller was taken to the
station but he denied emphatically that
he knew anything about a kidnaping.

At 10 o’clock that night Detectives
Deickhoff and Sloway again drove to the
Collier home but found none of the gang
there. They went into ambush to watch
the place on /a hunch that Collier would
return. At 11 o'clock they saw the wo-
man relative of Miller go out to the
chicken house with a thermos bottle and
a package. Creeping up to the window
they saw Collier and Kiewat, heavily
armed with sawed-off shotguns and pis-
tols, eating the food.

When the aged woman had returned to
the house they called upon the kidnapers
to surrender and come out with their
hands in the air.

“Come in and get us,” was Collier’s
defiant reply.

“You birds haven’t got a chance so don’t
be dumb,” shouted Sloway. “We’ve got
rifles and can riddle the place or toss a
bomb in there that will scatter you all
over the county, so make up your minds.”

There was murmuring as_ Kiewat
pleaded to give up because of his wife
and kids. A moment later the door opened
and they came out with their arms in the
air.

“If it wasn’t that I dragged this bird
into this jam you guys would have had
plenty of fireworks before you got me.”
Collier announced.

When Collier was given a physical ex-
amination at the station his body was
found to be spotted with knife and bullet
wounds received in underworld battles.
Four murders were pinned on him but
how many others died at his hands only
he knows.

Kiewat promptly unburdened himself
and agreed to turn state’s witness in the
trial. He led the officers to the lonely
cottage used by the kidnapers as a hide-
out for Gohres. He had been a respecta-
ble ice man and while delivering ice to
the Colliers he had agreed to give them
tip-offs on various beer flats on his route.
Before long he was a member of the gang,
lured by the easy money that came his
way.

Wright also confessed shortly after he
was picked up. Collier, Miller, Mrs. Col-
lier and Christiansen stood pat and re-
fused to talk.

Chief Minturn wired me when the gang
was rounded up. As I walked to the cell
where Collier was held I had a picture of
Jesse Howard in my hand. There was no
mistaking Granite Face. John Collier
and Jesse Howard were one and the same.

The case closed with the following
sentences for the mob: Bessie received
one to two years; Mrs. Collier, Kiewat
and Wright, two to five years; Chris-
tiansen, five to ten years; Miller, 15 to
20 years and John Collier, alias Jesse
Howard, 45 years in Waupun prison. A
few years ago police closed forever the
books on Jesse Howard. He died of
tuberculosis in Waupun Prison.

“Dodd?” the prosecutor repeated oddly.
“Was that the way it appeared on the
license and registration?”

Bandarenko nodded.
Mr. Josephs. Both of ’em were in good
order.”

“They were, eh? ... All right, what did
these men look like?”

“Well, Dodd was of medium height, a
bit stocky, with a full face, full lips and
curly black hair. He’s about 23 and kind
of good-looking. His pal—we didn’t get
his name—was about the same height,
but slimmer. He, too, was dark-haired.
His complexion’s kind of blotchy, and
he wore a gray hat, while the other guy
didn’t wear any.”

With amazing quickness, the motor
vehicle bureau replied that only an oper-
ator’s license had been issued to Donald
Dodd of Lyons avenue, and that was
on Aug. 9, 1937. The number of the'license
was 9823465.

Josephs replaced the receiver with a
furrowed brow. The matter of the car’s
registration stumped him.

“It’s still cock-eyed,” he grumbled to
the captain who was waiting expectantly.
“Bandarenko says Dodd has a registra-
tion certificate and Albany says he hasn’t
and never did have.”’

Sullivan grunted. “There’s but one
explanation, that’s all. That registration
is nothing but a piece of clever forgery.
It must be clever otherwise Bandarenko
would have spotted it as a fake right

brought home the week’s intake on Thursday nights and
banked it the next morning on his way to the store.

The money-bag, untouched by the gunmen, raised the
disturbing question as to the motive. Sullivan and Josephs
both knew that New York poultry dealers for several
years now had been having trouble with racketeers who
made life and business a thing of constant fear and dread.
Was this the case, they wondered, with Isadore Frank?

The widow, however, refused to believe her husband’s
death was the result of thwarted racketeers. She said that
she believed he had been murdered for his money.

When, after several minutes, she was able to speak
more quietly, more coherently, she declared with certainty
that her husband had never had any labor or racket
trouble. She bolstered her belief in the robbery theory,
despite the fact that the money bag had not been touched,
with a recollection that suddenly flashed across her
mind.

In a torrent of fast words, she related how a young man
had come into their store in Blake avenue about a week
before, inquired about the prices of chickens and left with-
out making any purchase. Something in his actions did
not strike her as normal and made her feel as though he
was sizing up the place.

She described him as being about five feet eight inches
tall, with black curly hair, full lips, a rather broad nose
and nattily dressed. :

Sullivan and Josephs next gave their attention to the
man who had found the hat. A slim, blond chap of about
thirty, he was standing with Giatinni away from the rest
of the crowd.

“You found this hat?” Sullivan asked, appraising him with a
sweeping glance.

“Yes, sir. I found it right after I heard the shots. I was on my
way home from work... Just when I reached the corner back there,
| heard a noise like shots. I ran down this way and found him

lying there. I picked up the hat and gave it to the cops when they
arrived.

“Then you didn’t see anybody fleeing from this spot?”

The man shook his head. He had not caught sight of anything
‘r anybody. Just the corpse and that was enough for him.

Out of the crowd attracted to the fatal spot, only one man could
offer something more substantial than a shake of the head and a
shrug of the shoulders. He was an oil dealer.

“You bet Iecan tell you something about it!’ he exclaimed. “I
was delivering oil right across the street when all of a sudden I
hear a couple of shots and saw two guys jump into a Buick and
shoot down towards Linden boulevard.”

Fortunately, he had been able to get the number of the car. He
gave Sullivan a paper slip, on which he had hastily scrawled the
figures ““3G4160.”

Elated as the investigators were over this break, they viewed
the license number pessimistically. Experience long ago had taught
them that the plates on getaway cars usually were blinds or else
belonged to stolen cars.

King and Senft remained in the neighborhood to learn what
they could from the neighbors and storekeepers, while States and
Beck started the job of locating the hatmaker.

Sullivan returned to headquarters and issued an alarm to all
radio cars as well as a state-wide alarm over the teletypes,
warning all officers to be on the watch for the car and the man
fitting the description given by the widow.

Josephs, meanwhile, was checking by telephone the license
number with the motor vehicle bureau in Albany. In a short
time he was informed that the car was registered in the name
of Harry Becker of Powell street, Brooklyn.

Josephs relayed this information to Sullivan and then left
his office at once for the address, which turned out to be a three-
family house. Nobody there was named Becker; nor had any
of the tenants ever heard or known.of any Becker having lived
in the house. Convinced that the registration was false, so far
as the name and address were concerned, Josephs sped to head-

quarters and apprised the captain of the facts.
“That’s just fine!” Sullivan snorted. “I didn’t expect any luck

so soon, anyway. And to make things still more baffling, Beck
and States reported back a few minutes ago that the hatmaker
doesn’t remember a thing about the purchaser of that gray hat.

Josephs, above, played a major

So there’s nothing to do with the lid, except send it to the lab.”

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. In strode
Radio Patrolmen Nicholas Bandarenko and Joseph McCowl
of the 63rd precinct. Sullivan regarded them quizzically.

“Captain,” Bandarenko said hastily, “we've got something
on that car you broadcast about a while ago.”

“What about it?” Sullivan queried, tensing visibly.

“At 4:30 p. m. yesterday, Captain, a black Buick sedan, with
two men in it, shot across Avenue J and Bedford avenue, ig- .
noring a red stop-light. MceCowl and I had to chase it for several
blocks before we could stop it. McCowl started to make out a
summons, while I questioned the driver and made him produce
his license and registration. The number of that car, Captain,
was 3G4160. We thought there was something familiar about
that number when we heard it over the radio.”

“What was the name of the driver?” Josephs asked.

“Dodd—Donald Dodd. He gave us an address on Lyons ©

avenue, Brooklyn.”

“Rodriguez, when you come out of
prison I hope that old age in the
natural course of events will have ex-
tinguished the flames of lust which
seem to have consumed every vestige
of decency you ever possessed.”

Supporting Mayor La Guardia, City
Parole Commissioner John C. Maher
warned that there were between 20,-
000 and 30,000 degenerates of the
Lawrence Marks type in Greater New

York, many of them with prison rec-’

ords. “There is no way of keeping
these men in jail now under the law,”
he pointed out. But he did not sug-
gest sterilization. Why not?

Maher’s estimate may be excessive.
Police Commissioner Valentine’s order
to list all known degenerates, together
with an .account of their personal
activities and home life, produced 300
names in Brooklyn alone, in the first
24 hours. This, however, is sufficient-
ly. alarming to call for the most drastic
action.

N IMMEDIATE aftermath to the
Magagna tragedy took precedence
over all other danger signals.

On Friday, August 13, the body of
Joan Kuleba, four years old, was
found in the cellar of an abandoned
bungalow at South Beach, Staten
Island, one of the boroughs of New
York City. It lay nude, face down-
ward and partly covered with a seg-
ment of bricks and mortar weighing
about 100 pounds. A length of heavy

fishing line was twisted around the
neck; the noose at one end had caused
death by strangulation, and the other
end of the cord was tied to a door-
knob. Doctor Mendel Jacobi, Assis-
tant Medical Examiner, pronounced
that the child had been criminally as-
saulted.

appearance of Joan Kuleba and the

“Within six years six little giris
have been raped and killed in the
section of Brooklyn shown above.
Spot A shows the home of Einer
Sporrer and B that of Paula
Magagna, both treated in this series

locating of her body were peculiar.
The previous day the little girl’s aunt,
Mrs. Grace. Lesandi, with whom she
had been visiting, asked the police to
look for Joan. Patrolmen searching
the beach found hei white shoes and
socks on the sand and deduced she
had gone beyond her depth -in the
water and had been drowned. A po-
lice launch was assigned to grappling
along the shore for the body. It

worked all night and half the next
ay.

At noon on the thirteenth Detective
Sergeant Thomas Cosgrove was walk-
ing along the beach when two men ran
up to him, gasping. They were Simon
Elmore, 39, a painter, and William
Hann, 27, unemployed. It transpired
that Elmore had chanced to enter the
abandoned bungalow and had stum-
bled upon the remains of Joan Kuleba.
He had rushed out to find a police-
man, had encountered Hann and told
him about his discovery. The pair had
stayed together until they met Cos-
grove. ‘

The Sergeant had accompanied them
back to the bungalow, had - identified
the victim from descriptions furnished.
His telephoned report brought 30 pa-
trolmen and detectives to the scene,
as well as high police officials from
Manhattan and a representative of the
District Attorney’s office.

From the start Cosgrove had had
his doubts about Simon Elmore, who
struck him as a neurotic, abnormal
type. Elmore’s story did not ring
true. Incidentally, the painter was
almost a physical double of Law-

‘rence Marks, allowing for ten years’

difference in their ages. He had the
same thin face, with pointed nose and
loose mouth; the same rodentlike ex-
pression. He, too, bore the stigmata
of a malfunctioning parathyroid gland,
hooked up with hyperthyroidism and
an active thymus.

I doubt if honest Tom Cosgrove was
familiar with endocrino-criminology.
But he knew an evasive delinquent
when he saw one. At Staten Island
Headquarters officials shared his sus-
picions. Simon Elmore was ques-
tioned for 27 hours. He doggedly
protested his innocence and gave a
number of alibis. All of these proved
to be false. Chief Inspector John J.
Lyons described him as “a pathological
liar” and as “a stolid man without a
trace of emotion.”

Elmore’s record showed ten previous
arrests, most of them for mistreating
his wife and failing to support his

family. There had been no sex
charges. He had been committed to
Bellevue Hospital in August, 1936, for
mental observation and released as
harmless two weeks later.

Late Saturday afternoon, the four-
teenth, Elmore was confronted by Wil-
liam Frick, a chauffeur, who had seen
him with Joan on the beach-front at
12:15 p.m. Thursday. The painter then
broke down and confessed.

He stated that he went to South
Beach at 11:30 Thursday, intending to
fish. He noticed Joan playing in the
sand and showed her a live grass-
hopper which he had in a bottle. Then
he took the little girl by the hand and
led her to the bungalow. They de-
scended to the cellar.

Joan —like Paula Magagna — was
dressed only in a sun suit. Elmore
admitted that he ripped the suit off
her, strangled and raped her. He piled
the bricks on the body, then went to
his home in Stapleton and remained
indoors until the following day, when
he could not resist the impulse to re-
turn to the death shack. Upon view-
ing the corpse he became frightened
and decided to tell the police in the
hope of diverting suspicion from him-
self. He exonerated William Hann.
He had run into Hann by accident.

LMORE denied that his horrible

deed had been committed in imita-
tion of Marks’ crime. But who knows?

The fact remains that these two
monsters both stand accused of mur-
der in the most dreadful form that
even murder can take. Years and
years ago both could have been rec-
ognized for what they were. Gland-
ularly speaking, the mark of the beast
was all over them. If State Govern-
ments delay much longer in making
such symptoms a legal cause for ar-
rest and sterilization, they will bitter-
ly regret it. For the precautions that
seem a little visionary to legislators
today must become scientific common-
places tomorrow—if Society is to over-
come the menace of the rapist-killer
monster.

Trailing the $20,000,000 Dope Ring (Continued from Page 7) Stacia erecta areas

under Major Garland Williams—men
who in many cases had never before
seen a subway or crossed Broadway.
All Federal agencies were mobilized
to cooperate with Martin as never be-
fore, and if I: mention but a few of
the scores of operators, it is simply
because the list is so long and their
individual achievements so many. One
would have to compress the narrative
to tell it in a book.

But out of it loomed the names and
activities of the big smugglers we
really wanted—foremost among whom
was Morris Schatz.

It was to Schatz they all, or nearly
all, reported. Schatz, and secondar-
ily Bonanzi. And their lieutenants—
Pierre di Stefano, alias Serafino Man-
cuso; Joseph Aveta, called “Jo-Jo”;
Nils Arnessen, Joe Leslie, Victor. Wal-
leck, Dominic and Tizio Buda, smug-
glers all. Others, including women
and Chinese, with whom they were
associated. One thing grew certain as
the days passed: Uproot this bunch and
we would uproot virtually the whole
dope traffic that entered New York!

Schatz had been known to the
agents for years, but never trapped.
It was a thrill to us when Caputo con-
tacted him. Schatz lived at No.’ 75
Manhattan Avenue, in Brooklyn, un-
der the name of Murray Friedman.
How we managed to tap his telephone
was a story in itself, but we did it,
and stenographers were assigned to
the tedious job of listening in. After
days of listening, a man who spoke
with a thick German: accent called
Schatz’ number, and the record
showed the following conversation:

“IT want to speak to Murray .. .
Hello, Murray. (From here on they
spoke in German.) Everything is all
right; either ten-thirty or eleven-
thirty tomorrow night.”

Murray (Schatz) replied guardedly:
“All right. I will come now and give
you this.”

A few minutes later, tailed by
our agents, the dope king left his
house.

He drove to- Pier No. 84 on the
North River (the Hudson); here, idling
casually through the crowd, he met a
man whom we later identified as Fritz
Meder. Meder was a baggage stew-
ard on the liner New York, docked
at that pier.

THEIR talk was brief and could not
be overheard. But Schatz was fol-

‘lowed as he went to a phone booth,

in which he called his own residence.
Our stenographers picked it up. A
woman’s voice answered—the woman
whom we knew to be his mistress,
supported in grand style in the Brook-
lyn house.

Schatz was complaining to her: “I’ve
had more hard luck. The man has it
under lock and key—you know what
I mean. I'll call you later.”

“Now, Murray; you be careful!”
warned the silvery voice. The wo-
man was worried. Later in the day,

hatz went home.

Early the next morning Fritz phoned
again and Schatz arranged to meet
him that afternoon. Again the Cus-
toms agents followed the dope king
to Pier No. 84; the pier was half de-
serted now, and Schatz and Meder had
along talk. Then the drug king drove
away—he was using his own costly

car—but about .9 o’clock that eve-

ning he was back again. Our agents
watched him from all sides.

Schatz played the part of a friend
seeing someone off on the departing
liner. Outside the pier, he bought a
big bouquet of roses from a peddler.
Thus equipped, he entered the pier,

where he wandered around until he
saw a member of the crew. Our agent
was standing right alongside when he
oh this man fifty cents and said to

im:

“Tell Fritz Meder that his brother-
in-law wants to see him.” The man
departed.

A few minutes later he was back.
Schatz had been pacing nervously.
“Mr. Meder says he can’t leave the
ship just now.” Schatz threw down
the flowers in a rage. He walked
angrily away, leaving the blossoms be-
hind on the planking. The New York
sailed that night for Bermuda.

It looked as though we had spilled
the job. We hadn’t located any drug
shipment. But, as it happened, one
of our agents, wise to the “ropes,”
went to the baggage master at the
pier just before the ship sailed, and
asked him if there were any un-
claimed or unidentified suitcases. The
man said there were two. They had
come off the New York to the pier
with the other baggage, and hadn’t
been called for. They bore: the name:
“S. M. Dickson.” Upon. learning this,
two men were assigned to watch those
suitcases.

They hadn’t long to wait. A few
minutes before the New York cast
loose, Fritz Meder himself came to
the baggage room and offered the bag-
gage master a $25 bribe to let him
take away those suitcases. He claimed
that “S. M. Dickson” was waiting for
them in Bermuda!

The baggage master, with our agent
watching, refused. Meder departed
in chagrin. The liner sailed. Four
days passed, in which a _ ceaseless
watch was kept on those suspected

“dope containers. The New York got

back from Bermuda—and Morris
Schatz, leaving his Brooklyn home

as before, was at the pier to meet it!

Again he sent word to Meder that
his “brother-in-law” was waiting for
him. This time the baggage steward
came to the pier and joined Schatz.

It was time to act. We had the two
men together and we had the suit-
cases. Two things happened simul-
taneously. In the baggage room, the
suitcases were seized and opened and
found to contain 52 pounds of gum
opium—and Meder and Schatz were
arrested.

It was Meder who “broke” under
questioning. At first he denied ever
having had the suitcases or having put
them “under lock and key’’—that is,
in the baggage room. Then he ad-
mitted -having known Schatz before,
and having been engaged by Schatz,
before the last trans-Atlantic trip of
the liner, to receive two suitcases at
Cherbourg, France. A man named
Dickson, he said, was to come aboard
at Cherbourg and deliver the suit-
cases to him, to be handed over to
Schatz in New York.

EDER said that, for some unex-
plained reason, this “Dickson” had
gotten the suitcases aboard the ship
at Cherbourg, but had failed to get
them into Meder’s possession. They
had crossed the Atlantic among the
other baggage and had been taken
off the ship to the baggage room as a
matter of routine at this end. Meder
was confronted with proof that he had
tried to claim them; and finally he
acknowledged that Schatz had_ told
him they held contraband “dope,” and
that he must get them away from the
baggage crib at any cost. Hence the
attempted bribe.
On Meder’s person we found an or-
dinary paper match book; opening it,
we found on the inside Schatz’ tele-

dents of the block were eager to gos-
sip about Lawrence Marks, They con-
sidered him “queer.” Two women re-
ported that on July 31, the day of the
Magagna murder, they had seen him
comifig home, his white trousers soiled
with grime. One of them asked him
how it happened.

“A littl

From that moment Detective Mur-
phy worked on the theory that he was
on the trail of the beast who had
killed Paula. He had the Greene Ave-
nue house watched day and night. He
followed even the faintest leads. He
started an inquiry to learn if Marks
had a.record, but it moved slowly.
After the man was in custody, of
course, his finger-prints would soon
ewer the question. But where was

e?

At 3 p.m., Saturday, August 7, Mur-
phy was notified by a shadow that the
suspect had returned home to visit his
wife. It took Murphy less than fif-
teen minutes to dash to the house and
arrest him. Marks was removed to
the Wilson Avenue station for ques-
tioning. He protested his innocence of
any crime.

But his finger-prints were now
available. In a few hours Headquar-
ters Had furnished his record. It was
as follows: ‘

In 1910 Lawrence Marks received an
indeterminate term in Elmira Re-
formatory for grand larceny.

In 1914, when 26 years of age, he
was convicted of raping an eleven-
year-old girl at Mineola, Long Island,
and sentenced to 20 years in Sing Sing.
His brother Walter, then sixteen, was
sent to the reformatory at the same
time for raping a nine-year-old girl.

In 1926 Marks was released from
prison by statutory commutation, his
conduct to be supervised by the pa-
role board.

In 1927 he was convicted of im-
pairing the morals of a minor and sent
to the penitentiary for from six
months to three years.

In 1933 he was arrested for trying
to pass a bad check and returned to
Sing Sing for violation of parole,

On June 13, 1937, he was released
from Sing Sing on his own applica-
tion to the State Supreme Court. A
judge turned him loose with the re-
mark that he “had paid his debt to
Society.”

The man had spent about 22 of his
49 years behind bars. Apart from
his earliest offense he had been im-
prisoned for assaults upon young girl
children. The cutting in half of his
20-year stretch for rape had not de-
terred him from attacking another
minor the very. next year. Yet he
was again paroled, again jailed, and
finally given a clean Dill of health,
Think of that!

The Brooklyn Police felt absolutely
sure that they had the Magagna killer.
The problem was to get him to confess.
During a night of grilling Marks told
no fewer than fifteen different stories,
He claimed alibis. Captain George
Gallagher of the Homicide Squad sent
patrolmen to the homes and haunts
of 35 persons mentioned in the prison-
er’s stories, roused some of them from
bed and confronted Marks with them.
Every single one of the witnesses
failed to corroborate his alibis.

Detectives Murphy, James Sloane,
Harry Beck and Charles Celano took
part in the questioning. Around 6
a.m., Beck abruptly swung upon Markg
and asked: 4

"HOW long do you think you will
be able to fool Captain Galla-
gher with these pipe dreams of yours?”
The man’s head lowered sheepishly.
He was thin, wiry, five feet seven
inches tall, partly bald, and with all
the physical characteristics of the par-
athyroid type which I had anticipated.
He had admitted that the only job he
had held voluntarily —that he had
sought because he liked the work—
was as male nurse, or orderly, in three
Brooklyn hospitals! It is by no means
normal for a man to fancy this sort of
occupation.

O11

After hesitating for several minutes
over Beck’s query, Marks said:

“Tell the Captain I want to see
him.”

Gallagher, who had left to get a lit-
tle rest, was called back into the room,
Thereupon Marks made a full confes-
sion to him.

He began with a sickening revela-
tion. Two days subsequent to his re-
lease from Sing Sing on June 13, he
declared, he had criminally attacked
a little girl (unnamed) in the Ridge-
wood section. He had gotten clean
away with it because the parents had
been ashamed to report the happen-
ing to the police. The child, of course,
had not been vitally injured, although
raped.

REGARDING the fate of Paula Ma-
gagna, Marks stated:

“On last Saturday I met little Paula
on the street at the B. M. T. subway
station at De Kalb and Wyckoff Ave-
nues, one short block from her home.
I asked her, ‘Where do you live, little
girl?’ She said, ‘Down there, down
the block.’

“I then said to her: ‘Do you know
where the gas meters are in the cel-
lar?’ She said, ‘Yes, sir.’ I then asked
her, ‘Will you show me where the gas
meters are?’ She said, ‘Yes, sir.’

“I walked down with little Paula
for the short block to her home.
Paula walked on the outside. I did not
take her hand. She opened the door
leading into the vestibule and then
opened the second door leading into
the hall. We walked a short distance
in the hall to the staircase which led
to the cellar.

“Little Paula was walking first in
front of me. We walked into the cel-
lar and I picked up a piece of rope
which was in the cellar, without Paula
knowing I did it. We walked to the
back of the cellar. Little Paula was
still in front of me, and as we got to
the back she pointed to the gas meters,
which were much higher than she, and
she said, ‘There they are’.”

The persistence with which Marks
used the term “little” in connection‘
with his victim’s name was noted by
everyone who heard him. He spoke
calmly, almost frigidly, except when
he said, “Little Paula”; then his voice
seemed to gloat. The confession went
on: ‘

“I maneuvered around until she
was directly in front of me. She again
pointed to the gas meters and said,
‘There they are.’ I threw the rope
around her throat and tied it tightly.”
(There followed a description of the
rape. It was not given out to the
press. I heard it myself, but it is un-
printable.) ;

“. . . I wiped the handlebars of the
baby carriage because I was afraid I
had left my finger-prints on them.
After doing this I then wiped my
hands with the sun suit...

“I then walked up the stairs from
the cellar to the hall. I walked
through the hall out to Stockholm
Street and then to the corner of Wyck-
off, about 20 feet away. I walked to
the place where I had met little Paula,
near the subway station. I then
turned into De Kalb Avenue.

“All this time I had the sun suit
with me. I had taken it with me after
cleaning my hands. I walked along
De Kalb Avenue to the front of a cer-
tain house. I walked over to where I
saw an ash-barrel. I looked around
carefully, and I threw the little suit.
into the ash-can.

“I then walked back a short dis-
tance on De Kalb Avenue. I waited
for a Dé Kalb Avenue trolley car. In
about three minutes a trolley came
along and I got on and went home;”

While the questioning of Marks had
been in progress, Detective Daniel
Murphy worked up an angle of tre-
mendous interest. Recalling the pre-
vious fatal assaults on girl children
which had occurred in the Ridgewood
section in recent years, Murphy
noticed that the killings of Florence
McDonnell and Barbara Wiles were
both dated in intervals when Marks
was out of jail. Both had taken place
within a radius of two miles of Marks’
home.

As soon as the prisoner had ended
his callous statement concerning Paula
Magagna, Murphy accused him of the
McDonnell and Wiles crimes, Marks
emphatically denied that he had been
guilty of them.

“Why should I hold out on you?” he
exclaimed. “I know I am going to the
electric chair. Why shouldn’t I tell
you the truth about everything? This
(the murder of Paula) is the first thing
like this I ever did.”

Nevertheless the police clung to the
idea that Marks could clear up those
earlier mysteries if he wished to do so.
Evidence which may figure in his trial
is being sought along these lines.

On Sunday morning Marks was
taken under heavy guard to the scene
of the murder, where he re-enacted
the crime with no signs of emotion.
On Monday he was arraigned before
Judge Peter J. Brancato and held on a
first-degree charge. District Attorney
William F. X. eoghan announced
that a blue-ribbon grand jury would
act on September 2 and the trial begin
on September 14, *

Police heads, magistrates and city
Officials reacted vigorously to the aw-
ful conditions laid bare by the Ridge-
wood calamity. A roundup of sex of-
fenders, wider in scope than that
which had followed the Ossido affair,
was launched with good results. But
the policies advocated by those in
authority were of more lasting impor-
tance. y

Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine
was the first to speak out. Admitting
the helplessness of his department un-
der the present inadequate laws, he
said: ;

"PD EGENERATES with records —
; what are we to-do with them?
Castrate them, or sterilize them? That
is not our problem. But we must ap-
prehend them, and some answers must
be found to prevent these fiends in hu-
man form from walking among the
people of this city.”

I am glad that Commissioner Val-
entine has come around to recognizing
the sterilization theory, even though
he stopped short of advocating it. So
far as I know, he has never publicly
mentioned it before. Of course, Law-
rence Marks should have been steri-
lized. The treatment- should have
been given him as far back as 1914,
when his vile impulses towards chil-
dren became apparent. If that had
been done, there would have been no
“Little Paula” episode to revolt the
heart and sear the conscience of Socie-
ty in 1937.

Mayor F. H. La Guardia proposed
something really new. ‘On August 9
he wrote Austin H. McCormick, New
York Commissioner of Corrections, as
follows: ‘

“Please provide that all prisoners
convicted of impairing the morals of
children, or of sex crimes involving
perversion, and: committed to any of
the institutions under your jurisdic-
tion, be kept under medical observa-
tion. In each case have a complete
medical report made up at the com-
pletion of the prisoner’s term. Imme-
diately upon his release have the
prisoner arraigned before a city mag-
istrate under Section 81 of the’ mental
hygiene law and WI the facts sub-
mitted in an application to have such
person committed to the psychopathic
division of Bellevue Hospital for ob-
servation.” :

The plan was praised in many quar-
ters, though it was pointed out that
legislation would be needed to make
it fully effective. There is a contra-
diction in the idea of giving a pervert
a prison term on the grounds that he
is legally sane, then seeking to handle
him as a lunatic when he is discharged
from jail. i

In sentencing Ramon C, Rodriguez,
37, to from 25 years to life for assault-
ing two ten-year-old girls, Judge
Brancato, the same justice who had
held Marks for trial, declared on
August 12: ‘ :

“The talk of treating sex perverts
as insane individuals, I do not believe

Slave MARY, black, hanged New York, NY, September 13, 1706.

The Minutes Book of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the Colony of New York,
Minutes for 1705-174, entry dated September 6, 1706, records that Mary, a negro slave
had been sentenced to hang on September 13 for an unspecified felony.

On June 10, 1988, DJH informed me that he had ascertained that Mary had pled
guilty, and that she had two co-defendants, Abraham and Tom. Abraham was acquitted while
Tom was convicted and sentenced to be whipped through the streets.

But Cook learned nothing. No one

and: a’ circular letter had been sent to
hospitals in Madison, Oneida, Oswego
and Herkimer Counties. But evidently
this combination of appendicitis and
Caesarean operations was not distinc-
tive enough to make an impression.
No one recognized the description—
the query drew just another biank.

But Inspector Cosart hadn’t reached
the end of his resources. The lenses
in the dead woman’s glasses were
handed over to a local optometrist who
was asked to give a detailed descrip-
tion.. A local dentist was summoned
to the funeral parlor to examine the
woman’s teeth.

The woman had made regular visits
to her dentist. Fourteen teeth were
missing. But none of these had been
removed recently. Those remaining

Nor do we have enough institutions
to which children might be sent. Pub-
lic institutions are overcrowded now;

We must expect that conduct and.

character will be affected by war con-
ditions. The state °of mind of people
changes in a war period. It changes
in the adult and the mind ofa child
responds more readily to any emo-
tional disturbance.

Disturbances. in children arise very
much because of war conditions. A

were in good condition; many were
filled, some with porcelain, others with
gold. Not a single tooth in her mouth
needed attention.

A chart was made, showing which
teeth were missing, which had been
filled and how. .

The rimless bifocals were of a type
made by the American Optical Com-

pany, the optometrist reported. He

gave the detailed prescription for the
lenses. They were size 40 by 44, the
pattern Fullview 43, rimless, ‘with the
notation, “Add for reading; OW plus

. 100.”

Daily, newspapers in Syracuse,
Oneida, Utica and Troy were asked
to print these items-_in full. Surely
someone would recognize these de-
tails. :

Two days later came a telephone
call to Inspector Cosart. :

“I prescribed glasses identical to
those you mention for a Miss Rose
O’Connel of Au Sable Forks a few
.years ago,” said Doctor *Charles Holt,
a Plattsburg optician. : .

That was the only time he had seen
Miss O’Connel, he added, in 1937.

Au Sable Forks, northeast of Canas-

hibition never achieved complete re-
sults. But it will help a great deal.

We have wonderful schools in our
city. They close at 3:30. These schools
should be open until 9:30.

tota and in Essex County, was some
distance away. A telephone call to
the local authorities asked them to
locate Miss O’Connel.

Alas, Miss O’Connel no longer lived
at the address given Doctor Holt five
years: earlier. Nor did anyone at that
address, a boarding-house, know the
whereabouts of the woman.

But from a photograph of the dead
woman, the landlady was positive this
was the person who had boarded with
her.

Within another 24 hours came an-
other break. A letter came from an
Albany beauty school where the writer
said she was an instructor. Several
years before this writer had been
connected with a beauty school in
Schenectady. Among her students was
a Mrs. Patane who very much re-

‘ sembled the photograph of the dead

woman.

Miss Johnson knew nothing of Mrs.
Patane’s present whereabouts. Nor
could she give the address of Mrs.
Patane for the period she had been
in contact with her.

Cosart found no record of any
Patane family in Canastota.

One Corpse for Two Women (Continued from Page 29)

How could this woman have: been
both Rose O’Connel and Mrs. Patane?
Cosart thought at first that one of
these leads was false. But perhaps
not. What if Rose O’Connel had mar-
ried and became Mrs. Patane?

Au Sable Forks was consulted.

“Ts there any record of a Rose
O’Connel marrying a man named
Patane in ’37 or ’38?” Inspector Cosart
asked. .

A return call within an hour brought
confirmation of this. “Right you are,”
Cosart was told. ‘They were married
bere in 737 or ’38, but in the Fall

FHP police immediately had called
at the address given by both parties.
Again it was a boarding-house.

“She lived here,” said the landlady.
“So did the man she married. They
met here. But after they married,
they both left.”

She had not seen or heard from them
since. Nor did she know what work
this Patane did.

“They kept to themselves,” she
added. “That’s all I can tell you.”

Close to the road he made an im-
portant discovery. Fortunately the
earth atop the embankment had not
been gone over. The curious had
driven by on the road, stopping to
look at the creek and its slimy banks,
but a walk over the frozen ground had
not tempted visitors.

And caught in the brush of the em-
bankment not far from the narrow
road the farmers had used, Sergeant
Manning found a pair of eye-glasses,
cracked on one corner only. He also
found a womans’ wrist-watch.

Perhaps the absence of the eye-
glasses had prevented identification.

police were following clews and tips

E fwed tie-up with the beauty school
was still the only clew to the dead
woman's background. When the Syra-
cuse Police Headquarters learned that
the local unit of the New York State
Hairdressers and Cosmotologists Asso-
ciations was having its annual meet-
ing on December 15; Detectives Cook
and Klotz were detailed to cover the
session.

The meeting took on a somber note
when Detective Cook mounted the
platform and was introduced. He asked
for cooperation and sent ‘round the
photos. ‘ .

Had anyone there worked in a
school with this woman? Or in a
shop with her? Or had any one of

Maybe another woman would under-
stand these contradictions, suggested
one of the men.

That was a good idea, Cosart thought.
Two young women were persuaded to
look at the body and then go over her
clothing.

“She's not good-looking exactly, but
she is different,” commented one ot
them.

The men got the idea. Probably no
one ever had called the victim “pretty.”
Her features were not the regular doll-
like type. Her nose was long, thin and
pointed, her nostrils finely cut, her skin
drawn tight over high cheek bones.
The eyes, wide and deep-set, had dis-
tinction.

“If she were dressed up in the right
clothes, expensive ones, she’d ’a been
stunning,” declared the girl who had
spoken first.

second young woman had some-
thing to say. “I know that ‘M.” I’ve
been trying to place it.”

Finally she placed it. It was, she ex-
plained, the emblem of a school for
beauty operators; all the school’s grad-
uates were given this letter when they
finished their ,course.

‘Yhe most important move was to get
the dead woman identified as quickly
as possible. Until the police knew who
she was and whence she came, the

hunt for her killer could not begin. —

Would that M pin help? ;

She wasn’t from Canastota or there-
abouts, Cosait soon learned. The files
covering missing persons had no one
like her. :

Perhaps she came from some distant
town to get work in one of the many
war plants springing up in central
New York State. A detailed descrip-
tion of the woman, with a photograph
taken in.the mortuary, was forwarded
to every such plant within a radius of
100 miles of Canastota. A letter went
out, too, asking that the description
and picture be posted conspicuously
and employes asked, if they recognized
the woman, to get in touch with Oneida
Barracks. ‘

“Better send a set of finger-prints
to the FBI in Washington,” decided
Cosart. “If she’s been working in a
war plant they’ll be on file there.”

The Syracuse Police Headquarters
was contacted next. If the woman had
been graduated from a beauty school
someone connected with the nearest
branch, which happened to be in Syra-
cuse, might recognize her.

Detective Cornelius Cook: of Syra-
cuse was detailed to visit this branch.

To his disappointment, Cook found
the shop closed. Neighbors told him

eyed neighbor saw her

the proprietor had given it up about
three months earlier, Whether thin
branch trained operatora or worked
only according to the school’s methods,
no one knew,

But Cook finally did) unearth a
neighbor who knew the former man-
ager of the shop. The manager, for-
tunately, still had the books of the
concern, which listed its former em-
ployes and pupils.

“We had a Miss Rose Camp of
Canastota here not long ago,” Cook
was told after he mentioned the signet
ring with the initials R. O. C. “She
was graduated from the shop.”

That seemed a hot tip, thought Cook.
But when he brought out the photo of
the dead woman, the manager hesi-
tated.

“This Rose Camp was much
younger,” she told the detective. “And
she doesn’t look a bit like this woman.”

Cook phoned to Canastota about
Miss Rose Camp. “You can check up
there,” he said. ‘

Trooper Sargenti hurried to ‘ the
Camp home in Canastota to question
its residents about Rose. ~

“That woman isn’t our Rose,” a
member of the family told the Trooper.
“We read about her. Our Rose is all
right.”

So that trail was out.

And Detective Cook started to cover
all beauty parlors in Syracuse, while
in Oneida and Utica other detectives
went out, supplied with photographs
of the dead woman, to ask proprietors
if they ever had employed her or if
they recognized her’ asa recent patron
of their ‘shop.

The results of these inquiries were
telephoned in to Inspector Cosart.
couple of operators thought they knew
the woman. One thought she had
worked in the same shop with her in
Syracuse. Another thought that her
face looked familiar—that she had pat-
ronized the shop where she worked.

But their identifications were vague
—none could give her a name or even
suggest where she had lived.

And at the same time word came to
Canastota from Washington. The FBI
had no duplicates of her finger-prints.

Still another blind alley—the war
plants had nothing to report. Their
workers, of both sexes, had clustered

around the photograph supplied and
read the detailed description, Several
had suggested names, Hut before for-
warding them, the plants had looked
be the women mentioned, and one and
all were accounted for-- alive and well,
The results were nil.

Who had this woman been? What
was the secret of her identity?

Not until Saturday did the body
thaw sufficiently to permit Doctor
Howard Ferguson, summoned from
Syracuse, to perform an autopsy.

The woman had been hit repeatedly
on the head by a heavy instrument,
perhaps a hammer or a wrench. One
blow had made an opening an inch
wide and three inches long in the
skull. Seven other deep cuts were on
the head, any one of which might
have been fatal.

Also, the woman’s face, neck, hands
and wrists were bruised and cut. This
hadn’t been a surprise attack ap-
parently, for these marks had come
when she put up a fight against her
attacker. The forefinger of her right
hand was broken.

Other details supplied by Doctor
Ferguson, the police thought, might be
helpful in identifying her. The woman
had undergone two abdominal opera-
tions. One was an appendectomy, the
other a Caesarean, The woman had
given birth to at least one child.

Perhaps the physicians who had
operated on her might recognize their
handiwork, decided Cosart. A detailed
description of these scars, was given
to reporters. Would any’ physicians
who had had this woman for a patient
please communicate with their local
Police Headquarters, the newspapers
asked.

Sunday the funeral parlor was
thrown open to the public. Anyone
might view the victim, readers of the
Sunday morning papers learned. And
even though gasoline rationing cut
down the number of visitors who filed
by the coffin, more than a hundred
persons came to look at the dead wo-
man’s face. -:

Sergeant Manning was stationed at
the head of the coffin. Several per-
sons hesitated; some camé back for a
second look. Manning stepped aside
to question them. But no one was pre-
pared to give the body a name.

Joseph Patane, center, and Anna Gelina, following the pecullar circumstances
of their “wedding,” were forced to eat their honeymoon meals in custody

by his friends and counsel, to secure a
commutation of his sentence to impris-
onment for life,and petitions were circu-
lated by Rev, Father Harrigan, pastor of
St. Patrick’s Church in this village, and
others, which received the signatures
of a Jarge number of the prominent
and influential citizens of the county,
praying the Governor to commute the
sentence, Hon, Elizur H, Prindle,
and Father Harrigan visited Alba-

man’s life ; but this action only result.

MO CANN IN JAIL,

McCann was formally committed, on
tho 8th day of December, 1878 and has
been in jail for nearly six months and
during the last three months has been
vigilantly guarded night and day by

‘constables Hiram White, and Whlliam

Graham to prevent suicide or possible
escape. From the first he has becn
allowed by sheriff Hiil all the privi-
leges consistant with prison discipline,
and has been permitted frequent inter-
views with his wife and daughter, his
counsel and such other friends as de~
sired to see him. He has conversed
freely with bi8 keepers and up to the
very last stoutly maintains his inno-
cence and has always claimed that Mrs,
Hatch committed the crime, His nat-
ural disposition js evidently not the
sweetest and he is easily thrown into a
passion at which times he would berate
his wife, spiritual adviser, keeper, ete.
He is an inyetorate smoker, frequently
getting up in the night to indulge his
appetite, He has been allowed by the
Sheriff, tobacco, cigars and any article
of food or drink thut could consistently
be furnished him, and in every thing
has been indulged and treated in the
kindest possible manner,and he speaks

in high praise of the treatment he has:

received, during his. long imprison-
ment,
INTERVIEW WITH MCCANN,»

On Thursday evening, about 8 o’clock
Deputy Sheriff Dwight Cook, who has
entire charge of the prisoners in the
jail—and with whom McCann talks
moro freely then with one else—went
up to the n’s cell and
esked him how Velix, who
was lying on bed al the time, re-
plied “Tam not fe very well to-
night ; Tam very tired and my spirits
seem et low ; my brandy is all gone,

j AL 3:45 he dressed himself in bis new
clothes, He ould nob wear the

slippers made by Weiler, but put on a
pair purchased by his wife.

At 9:20, Sheriff Hill entered the cell
and informed them that the time hed
come for them to leave, A short pray-
er was offered by Father Harrigan and
his wife and child at once left.
He saying to” them “Stick to your
faith, be obedient to the priest
and stick to the religion. Had I been
more practical in my religion I would
not have been where I 2m now,” was
his parting injunction.

At ten o’clock Father Harrigan, as-
sisted by Father Luddan, said low
Mass, after which the Litanies of the
Saints were received and prayers were
had.

-IN THE OELL,

previous to repairing to the scaffold,
Rey. Father Harrigan made a short
address to the prisoner, exhorting him
to be firm and not bein dread of the
gallows for ‘‘the body can be hurt but
not the soul ;” and urging him to for.
give his enemies as Christ forgaye his
on the Cross,

During this time the ottlites and
witnesses were assembling in the jail
yard and when all had assembled only
thirty-one persons were Deesente in-
cluding the sheriff,

The death warrant and reprieve were
then read to McCann in his cell, to
which he responded “‘it is all right,”

and in all his bearing showed the
faithfulness of his preparation. His
appearance indicated true penitence
for his crime, though he did not make
ony public confession; whether he did
tothe priests or not we are not advised.

THE EXECUTION
was the most successful one we ever
witnessed, and all reporters present

who haye seen {many men hung, con-|

curred in this opinion. So perfect and
thorough was every arrangement that
there was no hitch or delay in ahy
portion of the proceedings. The deli-
cate task devolving upon Sheriff Hill
was conscientiously performed, and

j thongh it wasa sad duty he shrank

not from it in any particular, In this
trying ordeal, as in his entire official
career, he has shown his eminent fit-
ness for the office, and that he is equal
to great emergencies as well as for the
daily routine of official life.

The arrangements for the execution,
under the direction of the Sheriff, were
mest complete, as will be noticed by
our report. Rumors were rife in our
streets of an intended attempted rescue
by McCann’s countrymen, in case of
which the Sheriff was prepared with a
large force of special police who were
within easy hailing distance, Though
A very proper precantion at all times
upon such occasions, when uncertainty
reigns, yetin this instance it proved
unnecessary. The Irish population of
our village and county are too intelli-
gent and have too high respect for the

Cross examined—Never had any
trouble with H, except coming from
the fair ;- liked him well enough ; am
no relation ; felt kindly towards him ;
the reason whyIdid not go up to
Hatch’s was, 2 yearsto that day the
the very day I was married; I told Fath-
erLuddan about my connection with
Mrs, H.; he made me promise that IL
would never go ints that house again,
nor speak to Mrs. .; promised, and I
didn’t want to gc there; never spoke

to her; don’t all calling her a
whore epeaking to him; the

out of the window: didn’t feel very un-
friendly to H, for pushing me down,
he knocked me down and I picked up

might push me down again and a stone
would be a good thing: never saw H.

one quarrel with Mrs. H.: never had
any quarrel with Mrs, H. except the
morning I called her a w——e; never

fore: Lasked him these words, ‘My
God, wouldn’t auybody if be car:
in aod asked yon if you was shot?”
that was all I said to Church: he asks,
Mo, 4 hear you were shot” told him

A [DISGRACKFUL ROW IN OXFORD,

undorstood

On Saturday afternoon a disgracefal
row commenced in Niles’ saloon, in
Oxford, in which red. King, Al, Hill
and Charles Hill were the participants,
The circumstances of the disgraceful
affair, as we learn them from an eye
Witness, were substantially as follows:
Ea, Youngs was in the saloon paying
for some tobacco when the three as-
saulted him, but he made his escape
and had warrants issued for their ar~
rest, Luring his absence they made
an attack on Parks, a olerk in the
grocery, and choked him till they ob-
tained money with which to purcbase
whiskey. Niles went out and found
Sheriff June, and asked his agsistance
in quelling the row; but as he had far-
nished the whiskey jit was thought
best to let him superintend the job,
They next wont to the Rogers House,
but did not commit any overt act
thore, Then thoy wont to the livery
barns of Waro & Miner, ond when
Warn came into his office, he enquired
their business, and they oalled for a
pair of shears, which he gave them
with a request that they leaye the of
fice, as he desired to go to supper,
Thoy would not lsave, and asserted
that there was no one able to pnt them
out, and King assaulted Warn, who
escaped and ran until they esught
him at the gate, near the streot.
At this time David Sherwood and
Oornelius O, King oame along and
rescued him, Sheriff June now ap.
peared on the scene and attempted to
arrest them, when Al, Hill kicked him
in the side, knooking him down and
also striking him in the fsoa, June
finally got'upon his fect and callod for
help. _ Justice Brown onamo up and or-
dered the parties present to assist the
officers. The beligerents made nd fur-
ther resistanco ard went to the justio:s
office, who allowed them to go on their
recognizance for ono hour, but after
they reached tho street Chas, Hill made
s0 much disturbance that Jnne took
him baok to tho offica,wherothe Jnatioe
fined him 810 or four months, and be-

not kuow how small an amount of
powder and shotI could get; told
Kelsey I'd pay him the caps back
again ; did not tell him what kind of
caps ; not alt getber the reason why 1
bought a box of caps was that I
wasted to pay Kelsey back; knew
Kelssy conld not uso the caps; never

aypreciate integrity. 1: is certainly rather
strange that the Cebinet orgaa ot Albany ie

TMB PRESENT WSU

Little more than a year bas elapsed since
the istsodection of the Soft Shell rioters of

New York, armed with slung shot, into the
Demecratic State Convention st Syracuse,
reseited in the disruption of the party and
the annihilation of the Administration fac-
tion. Thea followed the brutal removal of
Jedge Bronson from the position of Collec-
tor, secompanied by a series of the most in-
salting letters to him, said to have been die

of the Convention, which we publish to-day,

that the National Democracy of thie First
Assembly District, pave with entire una-
nimity presented the name of Hemny R.
Haar, a0 their candidate for Member of
Assembly.

This {s & nomination that will be received
with grest favor, we may say enthasiasm,
aot only in the city of Uties, where he has so
long resided, but also in the towns of New

the other hand, the French had to scale the
aides of steep ravines covered with dense

' masses of infantry, supported by clouds of

skirmishers; they had to clamber up rocky
stee ps defended by ewarme of sharp shooters;
they had to gain a most difficult position with
quickness and alacrity. Delay would have
ben fatel; slown@as of movement would
have lost us the battle, for without the French
on the heights on our right we mast have

tated by the President himedif. The cause
for thia removal was the refusal of Judge
Broness to ally bimeelf with the Soft Shells

property. The pif. faa married woman, and
the goods were purchased in her name and on

movement, theit repid fame-like spread from

Hartford and Whitestown, which make up
the District, and where he is equally well

of the State, and hie determination not to
wnite with a party, which opposed the com-
pletion of the Cavale, The Administrati¢h,
with a presumption paralleled, sought to
© ontrol the policy of the Ewpire State, aimed
to compell it to stop ite public works, and
for thie attempt to censure New York in her
local sondact, received a stunning rebuke at
the polle. T..oagh the Administration perty
was sustained by most of the federal office-

holders, and the patronage of the State Cay

nals was in the main on ite side, still the in-
dependent electors were 80 outraged that en
masse they deserted the Pieree faction, and
lens than one bandred thousand voters re-
mained to do it homage. While such ruin
visited these men, the National Democrats
whhoat thoroagh organization polled « larg-
er vote than the Administration, and left ite
supporters in a contemptible minority.

The ianne then presented to and decided
upon by democrats was, whether they would
tive Administration. They decided in the
negative, believing no party could live ander
gach avepices, This fall the same issue, in
the person of Governor Seymour, who ap-
proves all the acts and conduet of Pierce, is
again presented, and democrats are to decide
epost, They cannot be§blind to the fact,
that in every election thus far held in the
Northern States, the President has been sig-

nally repediated, and virtually annibilated-

and hie courteces mancers and generous dix
position are proverbial, We do not believe
he ever had an enemy, but we do know that

upon his election.

Mrs. Isadore Frank repeatedly begged
her husband to deposit the day's re-
ceipts from his kosher poultry business
(right), in the bank. He had a “better
system—letting the money accumulate
for a week, risking chances of being
robbed. His wife's fears of tragedy came
true. Frank was killed in an attempted
holdup.

in on him, one shoving something
round and hard into the center of
his back.

“Let go that dough bag you —,
if you want to keep on living !”

This was the moment Frank long
had been training for. For a sec-
ond he remained quiet, as though
obedient. Then he made a rapid
leap, tried to turn.

B” QUICK AS HE waAs, the finger
on the trigger of the other’s
weapon was quicker. In his impe-
tus, he swung around, his clinched
fist striking one of the two dark
figures, but even as his fist jammed
home, the pistol fired, once, twice.

With blood gushing from his
mouth Frank fell forward over the
money bag, his senseless body still
shielding its contents.

Then, alarmed by the shots them-
selves, the two men ran without
stopping, making no movement to
pick up the money for which they
had exacted the butcher’s life.

Even as they ran a crowd gath-
ered about the body, some yelling
for the police, one cool-headed man
running to the telephone, summon-
ing a squad car from Headquar-
ters.

In the car which came up, siren
screaming, a minute later, were
Radio Patrolman William Giatinni
and Albert Marohn. There was no
chance to pursue the two murder-
ers, these having vanished some-
where along the crowded street. All the two officers could do
was to keep the crowd back, wait for the ambulance.

When this came Dr. Lester Drubin of Beth-El Hospital,
md up to Frank, listened with his stethoscope, shook his

ead. ;

“This man was killed almost instantly!” he said.

Fs Neel MeEpIcAL EXAMINER Manuel E. Marten ar-
rived. With him came Detective Captain William Sul-
livan, Assistant District Attorney Louis Josephs, Detectives
William King, Harry Stats, Harry Beck and Henry Senft.
Looking over the body carefully, without disturbing it, Dr.
Marten announced that Frank had been shot twice through
the heart.
“I think the bullets were so close they made almost one
hole,” he said. “I’ll tell you the details after the autopsy.”
While the medical examiner’s ambulance waited to take
the body away, reinforcements arrived which quickly set
into play the operations of the police machine—a refine-
ment of technique upon which modern sleuthing is based.
Meanwhile, the patrolmen had a hard time calming the
excited neighbors. The Franks were well-liked, and when
it became known the butcher was shot in cold blood, they
cried out at the injustice. But the police had work to do.

|X y THE SKILLED PHOTOGRAPHERS from Brooklyn Police
Headquarters pictured the body at all possible angles.
Many close-ups were taken of significant details, such as the
position of the money bag partly under the corpse, position of
the victim’s hands and feet. Several overhead views were
taken, showing the body and the pavement, with a close-up
of the latter in the hope a negative might turn up the mark-
ings of unusual footwear, marked in the blood that had
gushed from Frank’s body—a print that might be invisible
to the eye, but would show up in the lights and shadows
made by the light passing through a negative.

After the photographer had finished his work, the finger-
print squad began its activities, dusting and photographing
every smooth article on Frank’s body that might have been
touched by the robbers.

Careful search by the detectives showed that the fatal
weapon had been carried away. But there was an extra hat
at the scene which did not fit Frank’s head; apparently
dropped by one of the killers.

This hat—a soiled gray felt—was handled with care,
wrapped in tissue, so nothing would disturb it. Inside the
band was the name of its manufacturer. Many a hat has
solved a crime through papers stuffed in the band inside,
through tracing of its purchaser. (Continued on page 89)

larly that of kosher fowl—has suffered far beyond its just
proportions.

This illegal tax on nearly every phase of poultry marketing
has led to extortion, the payment of millions in gang “‘pro-
tection,” to murders of many who failed to come across!

Looking at the young man, Mrs. Frank believed him a col-
lector from some of the racketeering outfits, approached
him politely, nonetheless.

“Can I do anything for you 2?” she asked.

He looked at her disdainfully.

“No, there ain’t nothing I want with you.
I'm waiting for your husband. Him and me
got a little business to talk over.”

“Well, I’m his partner—what is it?”

The young man laughed disagreeably.

“J don’t care whether you're his partner
or not. This ain’t no business for a woman.
When’s your old man coming back?”

Mrs. Frank smiled. “1 don’t think he is
coming back. He probably went home. If
you want him [ll tell him you were here.
What’s your name, mister?”

“Oh, just tell him John called. It’s noth-

ing important. Only a little deal that maybe we can work

together. That’s all.”

Later that night when she left the store, Mrs. Frank told
her husband about the incident.

“John?” he repeated the name of the strange caller.
“John? I don’t know any John.”

“Well, he didn’t look good to me,” she confided. “Maybe
they’re getting ready to stick us up?”

Isadore Frank laughed
loudly.

“Stickup? That’s a joke.
Nobody’s going to stick me
up. No, it’s nothing like
that. Maybe it’s a business
deal of some kind.”

“Maybe.” His wife shook
her head. “I wish though
you’d put the money in the
bank as it comes in. You
always carry it in the reg-
ister until it piles up, then
take it home. Some day,
someone is going to rob
you.”

He laughed again.
“Never. Not me.”

“That’s what you're al-
ways saying.”

puss PATTED HIS COAT.
“Listen, I’ve got a pistol
permit and I can take care
of myself. All these punks
around here know that I carry a gun, and that
I can use it. These fellers around here don’t
want any gunplay.” He tapped her shoulder
tenderly. “Now don’t you go worrying. That
feller, John, probably will turn up tomorrow
with some legitimate deal.”

But the following day the young man who
called himself John, did not appear. Nor did he
come later. And, in two or three days the inci-
dent had been forgotten.

However, on January thirteenth—late in the
afternoon—Mrs. Frank recalled the visitor viv-
idly when she saw her husband bend over the
cash register, begin to strip it of the cash that
had accumulated during most of the week.

“Are you going to take all that money home
again?” she demanded.

“Sure, I'll put it away over the week-end—
take it to the bank in a pile, as usual. It takes
too much bookkeeping to take care of little de-
posits.”

“Listen,” urged Mrs. Frank. “Please don’t
take the money home tonight. I’m afraid. I’ve
been afraid ever since that young feller came
here.”

Paying no attention to her, Frank counted the
money, placed it in a big paper bag.

“There’s six hundred here,” he said. “I'll de-
posit it when the bank’s open. It'll be safe at
home.”

Knowing she could not deter him, Mrs. Frank
saw him leave the shop, the collections in a
brown manila paper bag.

It was about 6:30 o’clock that evening when
Frank drove up to his home in Alabama Avenue,
alighted from his car and started toward his own
doorway.

Three days later Poderzaj, with several
others, was rushed off a prison train in
Jersey City, escorted aboard a waiting
Government tug, and transported to Ellis
Island, to await the sailing of an Europe-
bound boat.

“I am glad to get away from this coun-
try,” Poderzaj declared, when placed under
guard in his third-class cabin aboardship.
“The United States authorities have some-
thing to answer for, for the way they
treated me!

“It was inhuman, and the newspapers
have been most unkind and unfair to me
with the scandalous tales they have printed
about me and my second wife, Agnes Tuf-
verson.

“Why, I can assure you right now, she’s
alive and well. I could lead the authorities
to her—if they’d give me a break!”

A listening Government Agent, and two
New York City detectives who happened to
overhear the conversation, were heard to
mumble:

ALL RATS

As the only clue on hand, once taken to
Headquarters, the hat would be photo-
graphed, inside and out, efforts made to
obtain fingerprints from it, to classify it, '
to lay the groundwork for a large-scale
search for its owner via hundreds of retail
outlets for the same brand.

While the other detectives were seeking
witnesses to the killing, Captain Sullivan
questioned Mrs. Frank. He was particu- .
larly anxious to learn if Frank had had any
trouble with racketeers; if he had any
known enemies, or had been threatened by
the “Chicken Racket” protectionists.

With a handkerchief to her eyes, Mrs.
Frank told him that her husband had no
enemies that she knew about.

“He was a good man. Everybody liked
him,” she said. “We never had any trou-
ble. I think he was killed in a holdup.”

Captain Sullivan was inclined to dissent.

“I want you to think back about this
racket business,” he said. “Did your hus-
band ever tell you that he was paying
money for protection? Did anyone ever
threaten him ?” ‘

“No,” said Mrs. Frank. “Nothing like
that. He was killed in a stickup—just like
I knew he would be.”

“How could it be a stickup?” demanded
Sullivan. “The money was found with
him. And say, what do you mean by say-
ing you knew he would be killed that way?”

ME": Frank told him about the dark
visitor who had glared and sneered at
her.

“As soon as I saw that man, I knew there
would be trouble,” she said. “I knew that
he meant no good for my husband.”

Under Captain Sullivan’s questioning,
Mrs. Frank furnished a description of the
suspect.

“He’s got a big nose and his eyes are
black, sort of bulge out,” she said.

Making a careful note of what she said,
Sullivan transmitted the data to Head-
quarters, causing an all-station, eight-state
bulletin to be sent out—a description that
he as well as anyone else knew would fit
millions of young men.

Five foot eight, dark, brown or black .
eyes, wide nose, neatly-dressed. Eyes
prominent. Speaks with what wit-
nesses describe as a sort of sneer.

The only value such a description is, is

“More bologna!”

So, New York City—and the United
States—washed its hands of “Captain”
Ivan Poderzaj. They were glad to be rid
of him and doubtlessly, will see he is never
given an opportunity to sneak back into
this country. . ;

But that does not solve the puzzle of
Poderzaj’s missing bride. A corpus delicti
is needed for that. In the meantime, what
became of her; and what became of the
twelfth trunk?

Your guess is as good as that of New
York City’s most expert detectives. And,
in all probability—yow’re all correct!

police toils, he can be brought back,. con-
soem with the witnesses, possibly identi-

With this routine out of the way, Captain
Sullivan turned his efforts directly to what
seemed the almost hopeless task of solving
the mystery.

From page 19

HE HAT NEAR the scene had first been
pointed out by a young man standing

near the body. The detectives had held
him for questioning.

A slim, blond iy of about thirty, he
was standing with Patrolman Giatinni
when Captain Sullivan returned from in-
terviewing the widow.

“You found this hat?” asked Sullivan.

“Yes, sir. I came along right after the
shots. I was going home from work and
heard the firing. It was just when I
reached the corner. I ran down this way
and found Frank lying there. I showed
the hat to the cops when they got here.”

“Did you see the men? Get a good look
at them?”

“No. I just saw the body. That was
enough for me.”

Another witness, an oil dealer, had been
held by the detectives for an interview with
their superior.

“T saw most of it,” he said. “I was just
finishing a delivery of ofl when I saw
Frank get out of his car, saw those two
men run up to him. I saw one of them
draw a gun and poke it in Frank’s back.
Then Frank turned around and pasted the
fellow. As he did, the man shot twice, two
reports right close together.

“Frank fell down and the two men ran-
away.”

“Where did they go?” asked Sullivan.

“There was a Buick sedan standing near
the curb. They got into it and sped down
Linden Boulevard.”

“Did you get the number of it?” asked
Sullivan on a long chance, since most wit-
nesses overlook this vital precaution in a
homicide or accident case.

The oil truckman smiled.

“Sure, I got the number. I took it right
down, and I know this is right!”

Reaching into a pocket he produced a slip
of paper on which he had jotted down the
figures—3-G-4160.

License numbers in these days of stolen
cars and forged plates, are not conclusive,
however. Putting the number in his pocket,

Captain Sullivan continued to supervise the
work of his detectives at the scene, who
were interviewing persons from door-to-
door, seeking additional. witnesses. Mean-
while, through a telephone call to Head-
quarters, he broadcast an alarm for the
black Buick,

Drrenve BECK, given the task of check-
ing the car, got in an emergency call
to the State Motor Vehicle Bureau in Al-
bany, was informed that a car had been
registered in that number in the name of
Harry Becker, of Powell Street, Brooklyn.

Returning to Headquarters, Captain Sul-
livan prepared to follow this lead, when he
was interrupted by the arrival of Radio Pa-
trolmen Nicholas Bandarenko and Joseph
McCowl.

“We just got your broadcast on that car,
Captain,” one said. “We think we’ve got
something on it.”

. “Fine,” smiled Captain Sullivan. “What
is.it ?”

“Well, at 4:30 p.m., yesterday, Captain, a
big black Buick sedan with two men in it,
shot across Avenue J, and Bedford Ave-
nue,” said McCowl. “It went right by the
red light on the corner. We chased it. I
don’t know whether they were wise to us
or not, but it took us three blocks to catch
up with them. When we did, we gave the
driver a summons.”

“You did? Got his name in the book?”

“Sure!”

“What was it?”

“Blank—Bill Blank. He gave us an ad-
dress on Lyons Street, Brooklyn.”

Captain Sullivan looked grave.

“You didn’t forget to look at the regis-
tration, did you?”

“No, sir. We looked at that—made him
trot it out. The car was registered in
Blank’s name, all right.”

Captain Sullivan scowled. Why not?
Within an hour he had been given two
registration numbers for the same car,
both cars answering the description and
number of that in which the cold-blooded
killers had fled.

“All right, then,” he said to the patrol-
men. “Tell me what did the two men in
the car look like?”

Bux WAS medium height, stocky, with
a full face, full lips and curly black
hair. He was about twenty-three and kind
of good-looking. We didn’t get the name
of his pal, but he was about the same
height, only slimmer.”

“Was he dark, too?”

“Yes, sir—very dark. But he had a sort
of blotchy complexion and wore a gray

at.”

Captain Sullivan pressed a buzzer. A
policeman came in.

“Get the hat that’s just been brought into
the detectives’ room!” he ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

In a few moments the hat that had been
found near Frank’s body, was brought into
the captain’s office.

“Look that over carefully, men, but don’t
touch it,” he said. “Have you ever seen
that hat before?”

After a moment the two _ policemen
looked up.

“It’s pretty hard, sir, to tell one gray hat
from another, but this is the kind that the
passenger was wearing. The driver didn’t
have any hat on.”

“Okay. Good work, men. Thanks for
telling me.”

Having dismissed the officers, Captain
Sullivan put in a call for the late watch in
the Motor Vehicle Bureau, checking up on
license and registration issued in the name
of Blank.

“There is no registration in the name of
Bill Blank,” said the voice of the night

90

searcher. “We have an operator's license
in that name, though.”

“Let me have the address.”

Taking down the numerals and street,
Captain Sullivan found he had the same
data that the two roving patrolmen had
given him.

HE TIME HAD COME for him to order the

immediate detention of the man known ,

as Blank, a fictitious name used in this nar-
rative for reasons which will appear later.

Turning the information over to Detec-
tive Beck, Captain Sullivan cautioned the
officer to go slow.

“There is something cockeyed here,” he
explained. “Albany says that the car is
registered in the name of Becker; the local
bureau says it is registered in the name of
Blank. Something is wrong. Either there
is a forgery, or something of the sort. Any-
how, bring Blank in!”

Beck and Stats hurried to the address,
in a well-to-do residential section of Brook-
lyn. A middle-aged woman, obviously the
landlady of the rooming house, opened the

oor.

“Blank?” she repeated. “Mr. Blank? Oh,
he doesn’t live here anymore. He moved
from here about thirteen or fourteen
months ago, sometime before last Christ-
mas. He was a nice young fellow, quiet
and polite. Oh, I hope nothing has hap-
pened to him.”

The Motor Vehicle Bureau had given the
date of registration as August 9, 1937.

“Can you set the exact time that Blank
left here?” asked one of the detectives.

“Sure. It was just before Christmas. I
know that. He sent me a post card later
on, to wish me the Season’s Greetings.”

“Have you got it?”

“No, I kept it for awhile—then I guess
I threw it away.”

H™ WAS A SITUATION almost without
precedent in the history of the New
York Police Department. Upon one hand
a black Buick sedan was registered at Al-
bany in the name of a man named Becker.
In the New York Bureau, the same car
was registered in the name of a man named
Blank, according to the squad car officer
who had issued a summons.

It is difficult to forge a registration, but
this conflict in ownership seemed to estab-
lish that Captain Sullivan’s quick hunch
had been correct,

Meanwhile, since Blank was out of the
city, Captain Sullivan determined to locate

ecker as quickly as possible.

While he was taking steps in that direc-
tion, however, the police teletype brought
in news that the Buick sedan had been
found abandoned at Chester and Dumont
Avenues.

Leaving with Stats and Beck, Captain
Sullivan found that men from Headquar-
ters were already on the job, dusting the
car for fingerprints, searching under seats
and cushions for papers or other articles
that might give a clue to the slayers.

First of all, the detectives noted that the
car had been stripped of its plates. Their
sweeping search resulted in nothing help-
ful, other than scores of fingerprints on
the steering wheel and door handles. As
soon as these were developed they were

rushed to the Rogue’s Gallery for com- -

parison.

To those not familiar with fingerprinting,
it may appear to be inconceivable that these
marks made by fingers or thumbs are as
distinctly individual as a photograph, can
be located as readily in the files.

Without going into the technique too
deeply, the lines on the fingers and thumbs
are divided into types by the intricate, but
simply-operated system by which the cards
are controlled. So many loops, so many

arcs, so many whorls and any given print
is entered into its classification. nce
classified, it is put into a feeder device
which almost automatically matches it with
a mate—if a mate is on file. In all the
science of fingerprinting, no print matching
that of any other man, has ever been dis-
covered,

A run and a flickker of the machine, and
if a mate card does not appear, the detec-
tives are certain that there is no record of
such a print in the files.

is Bae RESULT of this process in the Rogue’s
Gallery was disappointing. The experts
could not find another print to match those
they had taken from the car.

However, the police machine for catch-
ing criminals—a vast enterprise far be-
yond the imaginative prowess of detec-
tives of fiction—is not easy to escape.

Foiled at every turn in all the work that
had been accomplished up to that time, un-
der Captain Sullivan’s direction, the ma-
chine turned to accomplish another of its
routine efforts—one more of those robot-
like operations which serve to entrap even
the cleverest criminal.

Just as fingerprints are listed, so are
stolen cars in the vast files of the New York
Police Department.

Now, the Buick went through the mill
of this card device, one that would be cer-
tain to give its complete history in the event
that the car was a “hot one,” had ever been
reported stolen.

In a few minutes there was placed on
Captain Sullivan’s desk a report that the
car had been stolen two months before.
The number that the car had worn on its
license tags at the time it was lifted, was
different from the number taken down by
the truck driver, confirmed later by the
two squad car patrolmen.

Obviously a set of false plates had been
used. Where had they come from? How
had the fictitious registration been consum-
mated to such a degree that it had fooled
even a keen-eyed policeman?

These and other questions marked the
dossier on Captain Sullivan's desk.

Under police routine a murder case is
never closed until the slayer has been cap-
tured, tried, or has committed suicide.

HECKING UP ON the hat clue, trying to

follow the tangled ramifications of the
registrations and licenses, the detectives
got nowhere, but every morning the Frank
killing was on Captain Sullivan’s desk—
unfinished business, followed through daily
in the course of instructions to his subor-
dinates.

It was not until the middle of April—
just after a hard shower—that any new
grist came to the great mill that was slowly
but surely working to break down the shell
of mystery surrounding the killing of the
stout-hearted little butcher.

A sewer jammed at East Ninety-first
Street and Newport Avenue, Brooklyn.
Part of the training of streetcleaners is to
work with the Police Department, report
the finding of significant objects. In a mass
of black mud which they cleaned out of
the blocked sewer pipes, two workers dis-
covered a .38-caliber Spanish Alfa revolver,
a set of 1937 license plates containing the
much-wanted number.

When these finds were turned in, the po-
lice machine had new meat to feed upon in
its devouring effort to find the two mur-
derers,

The point where the plates and weapon
were found was not far from the place
where the black Buick had been abandoned.
That they had been dropped, or rather
thrust into the dark orifice by the killers,
was obvious.

All three insisted that Harriet Feld-
man did not die of strychnine admin-
istered at home, but of poison which
she was innocently given in. the
hospital.

Dr. Gettler testified that her body
contained enough strychnine to kill
her nearly four times over. He es-
timated she had received 3.7 grains,
which is equivalent to 222 milligrams.
One grain, or 60 milligrams, will kill
a@ human being.

He also told the jury that stry-
chnine is resistant to putrefaction,
and a lethal dose may outlast the
body; therefore it was possible to
detect the poison months after’ Mrs.
Feldman’s death and burial.

look, and passed on without a sign

of recognition.

All morning the clamoring: tele-
phones ‘and clacking teletype ma-
chines continued their noisy flow of
messages and reports. Among these
from far-ranging investigators, there
were two from Sargent Manning,
brief: “No trace.”. None of the opti-
cians visited, apparently, had identi-
fied the oddly-styled glasses.

B. C. I. investigators who had
undertaken to trace the jewelry of
the -victim returned that late after-
noon with a detailed but none-too-
helpful account:

The. wrist-watch,
priced and distributed over a wide
market, was five years old; the wed-

ding ring, described by jewelers as a.

“keepsake” model, was a type made
in July, 1926. There were no records
kept of such sales. Tracing the pur-
chaser would be inpeacionn, jewelers’
stated: - ‘

Four o'clock that afternoon, . Cap:
tain Metzger of the Syracuse police
telephoned to contribute still another
depressing report:

“We hit the last pretty parlor a
while ago,” Mezger announced. “It’s
no go! Your mystery woman must
have got herself tricked out some-
where else besides Syracuse. She’s a
stranger, all right.”

Cosart continued to doodle paral-
lelograms on the desk blotter.

“Anything else’ we can. run down
for you?” Metzger asked.:

“Nothing right now, thanks,” Cos-
art said. “There is a possibility that
the autopsy report will be completed
this evening. In that event... if our
mystery woman still seems to be lo-
cal talent, we'll need your help.”

“You'll get it, too,” Metzger re-
plied.

All this time, over. at Schenectady,
B. C. I. laboratory technicians had
been conducting exhaustive tests on,
the victim’s clothes. Each item of ap-
parel had been subjected to exhaus-
tive microscopic study by textile ex-
perts in the hope that the fabric
might afford some new clue. But
thus far to no avail.

A desk officer dropped another pile
of evening papers on the inspector's
desk. The press was certainly doing
its part, Cosart reflected. Yet, why

inexpensively ,

a

The closing hours of the trial were
climaxed by the shrill and hysterical
outhurst of the sister of the dead
woman who shrieked, “Liar!” at the
defense attorney, and then fell away
in a faint.

Feldman did not take. the stand in
his own defense.

On February 29, 1946, twenty-six
months after Harriet Feldman died
her agonizing poison death in the
Beth-El Hospital, her pharmacist
husband was convicted of murdering
her with strychnine. In New York,
this carries a mandatory death sen-
tence.

In denying a defense motion to
set aside the verdict, Judge Lieb-
owitz said to the jury: “I commend
you. This heinous crime chills the
. Marrow of one’s bones.”

hadn’t someone stepped forward to
report a missing wife . . . mother
... relative, the inspector pondered ?

Had the victim been a plain-look-
ing person, Cosart mused, delay in
identification could be expected. But
the attractive auburn-haired woman
should chave been recognized by al-
most anyone who knew her slightly.

Was the murderer, perhaps, the
victim's own husband, in which case
he would naturally maintain silence?
Yet, if this were the case, why had
he risked leaving behind all the jew-
elry he himself had probably pur-
chased? Or was he certain that the
jewelry: would not identify her?

When eight o’clock, Inspector Cos-
art departed for the morgue. Goroner
‘Boyd was still busy with the autop-
sy. His usual professional ¢alm was
missing when~he glanced up at the
state police official.’

“It was a brutal killer, all right, °

who took this woman’s life,” the cor-
oner muttered.
kept on hitting her even after ane
fell.”

“You mean any single blow would
have been fatal?” Cosart queried.

“Just about. Every blow was of
sufficient violence- to fracture the
skull.”

“Have you decided what sort of
weapon ‘caused her death?”

Boyd glanced down at a chart for
a@ moment before replying: “From
the indentations and the contour of
the wounds, it was obviously a ham-
mer.”

*How long would you now say
frowning. :

The coroner halted his explora-
tions with the scalpel. He shrugged.
“Four days ...-perhaps even longer.
It’s really difficult to determine after
a body has been frozen so long.”

Cosart’s earlier theory of murder
at the hands of a “friend” was now
strongly supported. With robbery
discounted and the sex angle ruled
out, it could logically. be assumed
that the woman knew and trusted
her assailant. This was further sub-
stantiated by the fact that she had
not made any attempt to defend her-
self.

Where, then, did-the finger point,
the inspector wondered? A jealous
mate? An estranged spouse? Or was

“In all likelihood he .

the attractive woman a widow and
her slayer an unwelcome, vengeful
suitor? If only the veil of mystery
shrouding the victim could be lifted.
Somewhere amid the circle of her
‘friends and acquaintances, Cosart

was certain, the killer could be found. ;

Two abdominal scars, Coroner

‘Boyd announced, were the result of

an appendectomy and a Caesarian
operation, the last indicating that
the slain womas was a mother. Both
of the long vertical scars were care-
fully described by Boyd in hopes that
some surgeon, glimpsing the details
in a newspaper, might recall. per-
forming such an operation. Before
departing, Cosart summoned a local
dentist to compile a dental chart of
the victim. This record was rushed
to a printer for duplication in large
quantity and subsequent mailing to
dentists all over the state.

1X the canvas-topped squad car,
headquarters bound, Cosart won-
dered gloomily if any of this new in-
formation would prove effective in
identifying the mystery woman.
Wonder what he might, the vision of
a brawny murderer carrying a bat-
tered body down the roadside em-
bankment persisted in returning to
the inspector’s mind. °

The curious consideration shown
by the murderer to the corpse, de-
positing it carefully, as he had, on

_the canal bank, intrigued him. It re-

sembled the way one would lay a
child to sleep in its crib... or the
way a madman might fondle a pet.

Incessantly two questions torment-
ed him: why hadn’t someone stepped
forward to identify her? Where were
the police to pick up a clue to her
identity?

The telephone rang. It was Ser-
geant Manning. “We just finished
checking all of Troy, Inspector.” Man-
‘ning’s voice sounded very far away
and tired. “Trail’s dead all afong.”

“Stay ‘with it,” Cosart encouraged,
“there’s nothing doing at this end
either.”

A dozen phone calls later, Trooper
Sargenti reported back from his day-
long check-up of the Marinello in-
structors and graduates located in
or near Syracuse.

“Nobody recognizes her,” Sargenti
gloomed. “Most of the former in-
structors and students are in defense
work. They’re scattered all over.”

“Any leads at all?” Cosart asked.

“A woman suggested visiting the
Schenectady. school—it’s a larger
branch.” ° i

Cosart picked up a chart showing
the disposition of all. troopers en-
gaged in the murder investigation.
He studied it before looking up at
Sargenti.

“That’s a good distance away, but
it’s about the only central spot we

haven't tapped yet. I’d suggest you

get started tonight. Keep digging

and keep me posted,” Cosart con-'

cluded, as the trooper departed.

Hopefully Inspector Cosart watch-
ed Saturday drag into Sunday, theor-
izing that the Sabbath would bring
to the Fletcher Newberry Funeral
Home many whose jobs prevented
their so doing during the earlier part
of the week. He was right. Hundreds
of citizens filed past the bier where
the comely matron, a duplicate pair
of glasses poised on her nose and ap-
pearing as life-like as science could
make her, lay in state. But on none
of the faces, troopers observed, did
there pass a sign of recognition.

At five’o’clock, following an order

from the medical examiner, the fu-
neral parlor was closed and the
corpse ordered transferred to a cem-
etery vault. Cosart, apprised of the
news, ordered Sargeant Elmer C. La-
Point to make a moulage death
mask and, as soon as possible, a
plaster of pairs mould to be kept as
@ permanent record and guide for
the duration of the investigation.

Sunday night Cosart sat at his
desk cudgelling his wits and seeking
a new approach to the mystery,
which, despite the abundance of
clues, now loomed as a departmental
nightmare.

Gloomily he picked up the ’phone
and put in a call to the B.C.I. head-
quarters to ask what leads, if any,
were available as a result of the ex-
amination of the mystery woman's
clothes. The answer was an emphatic
“none!” The newness of the apparel
had proved a stumbling block. Fur-
thermore, the clothes were of styles
readily available in department stores
throughout the state.

Tuesday, inquiries regarding the
murdered woman tapered down to a
scant half dozen. To make the out-
look more dismal, war news began
crowding out the hourly broadcasts.
Inspector Cosart, glancing up at the
calendar fronting his desk, began to
wonder if the investigation would
not have to be abandoned for the
main ‘part.

a enough at that very
moment in neighboring Plattsburg
Sergeant Manning was calling on Dr.
Charles Holt, eye specialist. Even as
he had already done 500 times pre-
viously, Sergeant Manning recited
the details and then produced the
glasses for inspection.

For a matter of ten seconds Dr.
Holt scrutinized the spectacles. Then,
stepping over to a long card-index,
he began riffling through the entries.
Presently he extracted a card.

“It's quite as I thought,” Dr. Holt
said. “These glasses are identical
with those I prescribed for a Miss
Rose O’Connell.”

Manning perked up.

“Could: you recall how she look-
ed?” he said, nerves. taut:

The specialist’: shook his head. “I
have far too many patients for that.”
He paused meditatively. ‘Come to
think of it, the shop where the glass-
es were fitted might give you that in-
formation.” He consulted the index
again. “The optician, according to
my records, was a Mr. Henry Eckert,
over at Watervliet.”

A half hour later Manning was
conferring with the -Watervliet op-
tician.

“Why, of course, I remember her,”
Eckert said. “I remember her be-
cause she was very particular about
the type of frames, which, of course,
is a good idea. No, I couldn’t say how
old she was. I do know that she got
married shortly afterward. When
she came back to have a broken lens
replaced last year, her name was
Mrs. Joseph Patane. He’s a local
man, near as I can remember.”

Hardly stopping to thank his ben-
efactor, Manning raced for the near-
est telephone. He was signalling long
distance when he suddenly remem-
bered the signet ring found on the
woman’s frozen fingers.

“R. O. C.,” he repeated aloud.
“Why, of.course. It stands for Rose
O’Connell, the woman’s' maiden
name!”

Inspector Cosart heard the news
with. jubilation.
“Get a lead on Patane if you can

DO


and bring him over for questioning,”
Cosart ordered. “Only for God's sake
break the news gently. Evidently
this Patane fellow hasn’t any inkling
of what’s happened.”

“If he hasn’t he hates newspa-
pers,” Manning said, hanging up.

At the local police headquarters,
Manning made inquiries about Pa-
tane. The desk sergeant disappeared,
returned. quickly.

“If he lives here,
himself,”

he’s behaving
the desk sergeant said.

“We have no record. on him. Why .

don’t you try the post office?”

At the post office, a carrier, hear-
ing the name Patane, strolled over.

“If it’s Joseph Patane you’re look-
ing for, he’s on my route—lives over
at 1901 Broadway.”

Ten minutes later Manning was
pressing the door-bell at 1901 Broad-
way, a big two-story house. A wo-
man answered his ring. Manning
eased into his chore.

Did the Patanes live here?

They did and they didn’t. Mrs. Pa-
tane was out of the city for a while
and Mr. Patane was probably at
work, although she hadn’t run into
him any too recently.

Where was “work?”

A wholesale produce market down-
town. The woman eyed him dubi-
ously.

Did the gentleman wish to leave
a message?

Sergeant Manning didn’t. He tip-
ped his hat and took off.

At the downtown market, Ser-
geant Manning was duly informed
by one of the wholesalers that Pa-
tane wasn’t around. “I haven’t seen
him for oyer a week,” he added.

Puzzled, Manning directed his
reach to other nearby produce mar-
kets. There, too, he got the same an-
swer: Patane hadn’t been around for
several days.

Manning frowned. Was this unex-
plained absence ominous of some
startling new development? Was Pa-
tane, too, dead? Murdered? ‘Casually
he cruised about the city, eyes peeled
and ears cocked for information on
either of ‘the Patanes. :Came night
and he was still stymied. He put in
a call to Inspector Cosart.

Cosart heard his gloomy’ report in
silence. “I’m sending Trooper Sar-
genti to join you in Watervliet im-
mediately,” he said. “Sargenti’s pick-
ed up another link ‘in this crazy
chain. He’ll tell you about it.”

Three hours later Sargenti put in
his appearance.

“Run across anything  interest-
ing?” Manning greeted him. Sargen-
ti made it brief. Earlier that day he
had shown the dead woman’s picture
to a Mrs. B. J. Ross, a graduate of
the Marinello School over at Schen-
ectady, and had watched. her gasp,
then shriek: “Heavens! It’s Mrs. Pa-
tane.” Asked if Mrs. Patane were an
alumna of: the .Marinella School,
Mrs. Ross had exclaimed: “She took
my beauty course at the school. She
was a perfect pupil.”

Sergeant Manning offered ‘his con-
gratulations. “It certainly explains
how come the dead woman was so
well turned out, but it doesn’t ex-
plain why she was murdered, or
whatever happened to her husband.”

“Supposing we wait until morning.

and take the town apart,” Sargenti
offered. Manning nodded.

Bright and early the following
morning, they were on the job.

“Any suggestions?” Manning
asked.

“The cops haven’t got a lead on
the man, but maybe the civil offices
have.”

“T don’t get you.”

“He might have owned a house or
a@ car.”.

“Where to?”

“He didn’t say, and I didn’t ask.”

Out of earshot, Manning exploded.
“How in the devil? If Patane did

cense?”

“He could have had it issued else-

ning followed through.’

“1938 or thereabouts, I

Manning surveyed the situation.
Things could be mighty unpleasant
for himself and the B. C. I. if the
matter were bungled. He signalled to
Sargenti. ;

mathematical precision on the dress-

er.
He was going out the door when

he caught the glint of a bright ob-_

ject. He walked over, picked it up.
It was a lady’s lipstick. .

Sergeant Manning snapped off the
lights; - climbed into the car, and
headed for the town recorder’s office.
In another half hour he, was on his
way.

‘Checking in at police headquar-
ters, he found Inspector Cosart al-
ready on the spot. Cosart looked
gloomy.

“any luck?” Manning inquired.

“None,” Cosart said tersely. ‘“He’s
told us the same story a half dozen
times, and the. funny part of it all is
that it checks.” _

Manning blinked.

“Bank records show that he did
draw out $400 on December 5th, and
a ticket clerk over at the bus sta-
tion remembers selling & ticket to
Bridgeport to a man resembling Pa-
tane.”

“He hasn’t produced anybody who
saw. his wife board the bus for

Bridgeport, has he?” Manning asked. —

*It.was Cosart’s turn to -blink.

“A woman like Mrs. Patane does-
n’t go away to set herself up in busi-
enss and leave all her clothes be-
hind,” Manning came back. “Further-
more, it doesn’t stand to reason that
she’d leave all her beauty prepara-
tions, gadgets, and cosmetics be-
hind.”

“I don’t. recall ‘hearing you men-
tion the word motive,” Cosart said,
reflectively. . .

Sergeant Manning reached into his
pocket, pulled out the shiny cylinder
he had discovered behind the sofa
cushions, and handed it to Cosart.

Cosart looked on, uncomprehending.

“Notice the shade of this lipstick,”
Manning prompted. “It’s a peculiar,
sickly-looking kind of purple. Mrs.

Patane used a shade called. Chinese

red—almost vermilion.”

Cosart got the drift. “You think
there’s another woman?”

Manning nodded. “A younger wo-
‘man and a more glamorous woman
—a woman of the same stripe as
Mascari, probably.” :

“Meaning what?” Cosart wanted
to know.

“Meaning pleasure-mad and aller-
gic to bigamy.”

“You have proof, of course?” Co-.

sart was being sardonic.

“Partly. Just before I left Water-
vliet, I stopped off at the recorder’s
office and checked the marriage rec-
ords for a possible entry under the
name of Joseph Mascari. It. was a
good hunch. According to the rec-
ords, as Joseph Mascari—he has
never changed his name legally—he
married a Mary Liccardello, from
whom he is ‘now divorced, over at
Canastota in 1932. In 1939 as Joseph
Patane he married Rose O’Connell.
But the interesting thing about the
two marriages is this: his divorce
from his first’ wife did not become
final until December 19, 1941, a tech-
nicality that didn’t seem to bother
hen,” es Lory

Cosart had heard enough. Casually
he strolled into the office where a
couple of troopers stood guard over
Mascari, alias Patane. ;

“I think your girl friend dropped
this,” Cosart said, matter-of-factly
flashing the purple lipstick Manning
had retrieved.

Mascari whirled around.

“She’s my wife, not my girl
friend,” he blurted out.

“Who, Joe?” Inspector Cosart
said, pressing his advantage.

Mascari’s featured clouded for a
moment. In a second he had regained
his composure, -

“Her name used to be Anna Ge-
lina,” he said calmly. :

* * *
Car pondered the last state-

ment. It disconcerted him. Was
Mascari making the admission that

‘he married the Gelina girl by way of

getting his total guilt off his chest
at one blow? Had he, then, actually
packed his wife off to Bridgeport and
then married the Gelina girl, after
concealing from her the fact that he
was already married? - ¥
“You could save us the trouble of
consulting the marriage records if
you told. us where she lived,” Cosart
said. °
*“Why not?” Mascari replied. “She
lives with the George Whinnerys
here in Troy. She’s a nursemaid.”
Bewildered by the utter calm of
the much (and illegally) married
Mascari, Cosart motioned to Men-
ning. A minute later they were head-
ed for the home of George Whinnery,
prominent Troy citizen. i
En route Cosart wondered aloud,
what manner of man was it, who,

assuming he had murdered his wife,

calmly directed officers to the dwell-
ing of his new bride and potential
betrayer? a

swer.

Manning was ready with an an-

sneer teeny erm yp Aenien net's coterie toeronrpectatetinn yt sr

“Either the Gelina girl is an out-

- and-out dupe of friend Mascari or a

woman who knows all about the
murder and can be counted on: not
to do any talking.” :

“There’s certainly been plenty of
time for coaching,” .Cosart’ agreed,
just as they pulled up at the house
of George Whinnery on Sixth Av-
enue, ,
A ring brought a quick reply in
the form of a striking and scenic
brunette, with dark piercing eyes.

“Are you Anna Gelina?” Cogart’s
manner was easy.

“I was. Won’t you come in?”

, Nonplussed, momentarily, the of-
ficers stepped in out of the cold.

In the living room the girl eyed
the two officers calmly. |

“I understand you are the new
Mrs. Mascari,” he led off.

“I'm afraid you mean the new

Mrs. Patane,” the girl came back.

Cosart apologized for his error.
“Whatever happened to the ex-
Mrs. Mascari?” ‘
The girl took the question in her
stride. “You might ask my husband.”
The girl was anything but a dupe,

' Cosart was telling himself when he

chanced to glance down at her left
hand. On the middle finger a wide
band of light skin, tell-tale evidence
that a wedding ring had reposed
there for a considerably longer pe-
riod of time..than her 'ten-day-old
“marriage.” It added up to one in-
escapable conclusion: the © buxom
brunette had been married before.
Still, if this were so, what point was
there in concealing the fact? Unless
(Cosart answered his own question)
like Mascari she was already mar-
ried when she contracted the new
liaison, :

Cosart gambled everything on his
next move. Casually reaching into
his pocket for the lipstick Manning
had unearthed, he produced it, hand-
ed it to the girl.

“We found this lying beside the
corpse out on the Canastota Road,”
he said quietly.

The girl let out a shriek.

“I didn’t know he was going to do
it!” she screamed, “I didn’t know
. . 2’ And she burst into semi-hys-
terical sobbing.

Bound for headquarters, sand-

wiched between the two officers, the
girl recovered her poise. Beyond ad-
mitting that she was still married
to a local resident named Edward
Lenway when she was married to
Mascari in Vermont eight or nine
days ago, she maintained a deep
silence.
* “You might as well tell us your
side of the story,” Cosart said. ‘‘He’s
told us his.” The twenty-three-year-
old girl fell for the ruse. In a trice
she was reciting a tale that tried
belief.

On Saturday, December 5th, her
story went, Mascari had taken his
wife and child on an automobile trip,
supposedly for the purpose of visit-
ing his parents in Canastota. She
had been asked to go along with the
couple in the role of nursemaid for
the child.

Once the dreary mucklands of

Canastota had been reached, Mascari’

stopped the car, inviting his wife to
step outside on some forgotten pre-
text. Retreating. a few steps behind

the car, Mascari suddenly struck

down his unsuspecting wife with a
blow to her head. Then, pulling out
a hammer, he began to rain down
blows‘on her skull.

The unfortunate woman had
screamed once after the second blow

and had begged for mercy. Mascari
had made no answer, nor did he let
up. After she had ceased struggling,

“he carried her in his arms down to

the canal edge and laid her out care-
fully. :

Confronted with the statement of
his alleged “wife,” Mascari parried
and dodged for an hour before ad-
mitting that there had been a “quar-
rel” on the way to Canastota, that
he had struck her with his fists, and
that she was still alive when he
drove off.

* * \*

Ts next day, after an uninter-

rupted all-night grilling, he’ sud-
denly shrugged his shoulders and
announced that he was ready to talk.
His story was substantially the same
as that of his new “bride,” except
that he denied planning the murder.
Later that day he re-enacted the
crime with his new “bride,” smirk-
ing and giggling, taking the part of
the slain woman. While hardened

officers looked on incredulously, he.

showed first where he felled his wife,
where he beat her with the hammer,

and, finally, where he laid the body.

Arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Ralph Weber, both were bound

over to the Grand Jury, which

promptly indicted Mascari, the Gelina
woman having been no-billed and
ordered held in $25,000 bail as a
material witness.

On March 15, Joseph Mascari,
alias Patane, faced Judge W. H.
Coon and a jury of six men and six
women in Superior Court at Wamps-
ville, charged with murder in the
first degree. Never was more spec-
tacular trial held in this quiet, neigh-
borly, and picturesque community.

Hailing the crime in his opening
address to the jury as “one of the
most shocking and incredible exam-
ples of inhuman brutality perpe-
trated against a decent human be-

ing,” District Attorney Clarence E.
Conley made it plain that the State
intended to spare neither energy nor
expense to bring Mascari to book.
The district attorney's statement
was no exaggeration.

For almost two weeks witnesses
for the State marched into the court-
room to present damaging evidence
against the defendant who sat in his
chair, confident and inscrutable.

By way of introducing a motive
for the murder, District Attorney
Conley called to the stand Mrs. Celia
Landry, life-long friend of the slain
woman. Quietly, while jurors, as one
man, leaned over the box, she un-
folded the story of Rose O’Connell
Mascari’s miserable married life. It
was the story of a good woman who
had married with high hopes, only
to discover, in a matter of months,
that she was in reality only a part-
time wife, the spouse of a man who
quit work at six o'clock and came
home at ten and who, after~ winding
up a week’s work on Friday night,
took off for New York on unex-
plained and periodic week-ends.

_ “I guess I’m too old for Joe,” the
handsome 36-year-old matron had
told her, a month or so before her
body was found on the creek bank.
“Joe never fails to remind me of it.”

Hotel registers (one of them in-
dicating that Mascari had spent the
night in an Albany hotel with a wo-
man designated as “Mrs. Mascari” a
few hours after he had murdered his
wife) bore mute but eloquent evi-
dence of his infidelities.

The star witness for the State was
Anna Gelina Lanway, herself. Fac-
ing a merciless barrage of questions,
she admitted to an association with
Mascari that began in 1938, con-
tinued for a year, faded for a year
or two, and was resumed on Labo:
Day last “from which time we sa\
each other nightly.”

Cosart, listened with interest.
“Evidently the pins are awarded
to students completing a prescribed

“And the hitch is that our mystery

“Such as what?” °
“Such as the fact that the victim’s

less than a week ago, judging from
the new hair growth—and that her
eyebrows had been carefully plucked
and pencilled.” ‘

a bust after all,” he told himself, as
he pushed the squad car along the now-darkened

road to headquarters, It was after seven when .

he reached his desk, in time for a deluge of tele-
phone calls—queries, tips, and crank reports.

He was wading through the most promising
of them when Sargenti arrived with a batch of

. pictures of the murdered woman, taken as she
looked .after the mortician’s art .had restored
her features, color and all, to virtual life-like
reality. Pictures, together with the data ob-
tained from Dr. Boyd, were promptly sent to all
neighboring newspapers with urgent requests
that picture and pertinent facts. be published in
the earliest editions possible. Beauty parlors,
especially, were asked to report knowledge of
such a patron. :

Cosart pondered the possibilities. If the pretty
matron were not a widow, a call would soon be
coming in from a worried husband. Married or
divorced, a call was bound to come from some
member of her family. Cosart’s reasoning
proved right—in theory. Dozens of calls did
come in, a surprising number of them in regard
to married women living at home and working
in defense plants. Acting on the suggested pos-
sibility, Cosart had fingerprints taken of the

woman, rushed them by air mail to Washington. .

Ten o’clock came and with it a final report
from the Missing Persons Bureau. No person
of the attractive victim’s description was listed
as missing. By degrees, Cosart was beginning to
feel a trifle less confident of an early identifica-

‘tion of the body. Instead, he found mounting
within him the feeling that what had at first
appeared to be a routine matter, would now
require the intensive efforts of most of the
department. He was staring moodily at the ceil-
ing of his office when Sargent Manning walked
in, t

“What about. the lens prescription?” Cosart
demanded.

ered with optical measurements and placed it

upon the desk.: “According to the optometrists -

dered woman is usually ordered for a wearer 41

Inspector Cosart continued to sit at his desk.
Again and again he retraced the day’s events,

away. A moment later, they were

speeding to the home of George
Whinnery, _

En. route, Cosart cudgelled his
brain. What sort of man was this
who calmly married and remarried
with no thought of legalities and

‘who did not hesitate to admit his

marriages or to furnish the ad-

‘dresses of his wives? And what sort

of a woman was this Julia Bara?

Julia ‘Bara, he discovered, was _

lost no time in identifying herself

Mrs. Joseph Patane. Cosart was
about to set her down as a dupe
when he noticed the deep inden-

-tation made by the wedding ring

on her finger. Obviously, she had
been wearing such a ring for years.
-. The inspector looked at her quiz-
zically. He was beginning to wonder
if here he did not have just as cool
a customer as Mascari. He decided
to risk the next question. .

“What was your other married

name?” he shot at her quickly.

- She blanched, but her answer was

as disarming as*had been Patane’s.

“Barker,” .she said calmly.
For a second she stood there, her

lower lip quivering. Suddenly she

broke. “But I didn’t kill her!” she

screamed. “I didn’t do it!”

Cosart and Manning looked on in

‘silence, as the woman looked from

one to the other. In a trice, tears
began streaming down her face.
“We're listening,” Cosart said.
“‘Joe’s other wife, Rose, wanted to
settle it,” she finally blurted out.
“Joe was taking her to the station.

Suddenly, he hit her and pulled her

out of the car. He did it. He did it!”

The news that Rose O’Connell was
dead, killed by her husband,, stun-
ned. the two officers. The initial
shock over, their first reaction was
that the woman was suffering from
hysteria and that she might be con-
fessing to knowledge of a crime
which did not exist. There was,
however, a way to find out.

Only an uninterrupted all-night —

grilling brought the cool Joseph Pa-
tane to the point of talking. First,
he accused Julia Bara of striking
the blow that killed Rose O’Connell,
but later in the day, he changed his

* mind and offered to re-enact the
-erime with the assistance of Julia

Bara. Without any remorse, he
showed where he had felled his

cari again tried to lay the blame

_ for the actual killing on his newest

“wife’, Julia Bara Barker Patane.
He claimed it was her idea to get
rid of Rose and it was she who

-planned the dreadful murder.

District ttorney Clarence E. Con-
ley struck back, flayed Patane’s de-
fense as “‘a cheap, last-minute effort
to escape a deserved doom by laying

‘the guilt on a woman who, had she

been a party to the murder, would
have been duly indicted and brought

to trial instead of appearing here as

a witness for the state.” - =. ---

The jury listened to the argument
carefully and calmly. After they had
considered the evidence for nine
hours they returned a verdict of
guilty. On April 2nd, Judge Coon,

‘as prescribed by law, sentenced Jo--

seph Mascari to the electric chair.
On January 6, 1944, Joseph Mascari

. was battered and covered with con-

yealed blood. Hair, matted with gore,
streamed in wild profusion over her
face. Her eyes were open and stared
icily in front of her.

The sergeant judged the dead wom-
an to be about 35 or 40 years of age;
five-feet, eight-inches tall; weighing
about 140 pounds. The corpse was
found attired in a green cloth coat and
a green wool dress.

There were several miscellaneous
items which Manning took careful note

of. These included: a.gold ring bearing
the initials “R.O.P.”; a gold wedding
ring; a gold wristwatch; and an intrigu-
ing pin that the woman had worn on
her shoulder, inscribed with a name
the sergeant had never heard of be-
fore.

“Any leads as to who she _ is?”
Manning asked the group gathered
around. |

“There was no identification on the
body,” replied J. D. Boyd, the Madi-
son County coroner. The medical ex-

aminer had already completed his pre-
liminary examination and proceeded to
fill the state policeman in on his find-
ings.

“She was subjected to a fearful beat-
ing,” Boyd said. “The cause of death
was multiple skull fracture. I'll prob-
ably be able to give you some more
definite information after I’ve perform-
ed an autopsy.”

Manning spoke with the truck farmer
who had found the body at Cowasselon
Creek near Oniontown, N. Y. That
man repeated the details of his grim
discovery.

One of the first jobs confronting the
investigator was the identification. As
a first step Sergeant Manning prepared
a circular listing all available informa-
tion and a description ,ef the corpse.
This was forwarded to the state police
barracks and teletyped to police head-
quarters all over the upstate area.

The state police sergeant conferred
with his superior; Inspector J. A. Cos-
art. “I think a robbery motive is doubt-

ful,” Manning said over the phone. -

“All the woman’s jewelry was on her
when they found her.”

“T think ll run over and have a look
at the scene myself,” the inspector said.
“I'll bring a photographer along. Maybe
he can get some shots before it gets
dark.”

Hat an hour later the inspector,

accompanied by a_ photographer
and two troopers, met Manning at the
creek. The photographer went to work
taking shots from various angles. The
area where the corpse had lain had been
clearly marked.

“The truck farmer found the wom-
an’s glasses over there in the road,”
said the sergeant pointing to the blood-
stains. “Was she killed here or was
she beaten to death someplace else and
brought here to this creek?” he mused
aloud.

“You didn’t mention finding any hat
or pocketbook,” Inspector Cosart said.

“Neither was found,” Manning re- _

plied.

“That could be significant,” the in-/
spector said. “Perhaps the killer threw
them out to the middle of the creek
where it is not frozen. In that case
they might have been carried down by
the current.”

Following the inspector's suggestion,
all the men present spread out and
traced the creek along its banks. No
sign of the woman’s hat or purse was
found.

Inspector Cosart and Sergeant Man-
ning went to the morgue and together
viewed the body.

“She’s fairly well dressed,” Cosart
concluded, ‘and her hands don’t look

as though they’ve been accustomed to

hard work.”

“Yes,” said Manning, “and notice
the hair. It looks as though she has*
been in a beauty salon recently. It
appears that this woman had a henna
rinse not too long ago.” :

Photographer H. L. Lutz took several
pictures of the corpse. Manning and
his superior conferred and mulled over

@ IT WAS mid-winter and the farmer
seldom came near the creek bank, ex-
cept occasionally to chop wood. Now,
when he finished, he tossed the last few
cords into the truck rear, picked up
the brush debris and eased himself
down the bank to toss it into the half-
frozen creek...It was then that he
saw the body of the woman sprawled
at the bottom. From her head at the
water’s edge, a trail of blood dappled
the snow in a ragged line up the bank.
Her rimless glasses lay nearby.

The farmer gunned his truck and
spun away from the creek, across the

road to his house. He immediately put

in a call to the state police.

By the time that Sergeant Charles J.
Manning was assigned to the case the
body had been removed to the morgue.
The state police investigator studied the
corpse lying on a slab, still frozen in
the grotesque position in which it had
been found. One arm was extended as

though the woman, in death, was trying
to reach.for something. A leg was

twisted up under her back. Her face

CASTOFF LOVE IS
A FROZEN CORPSE

the possibilities.
’ “Well,” the inspector said, “what do
you make of it?”

“Hit-and -run or accident is doubt-
ful,” Manning said. “There seems very
little likelihood that a woman would
have been on that lonely stretch of road
by herself. The coroner feels she was
bludgeoned to death. Robbery motive
seems doubtful. I guess we can’t do
much until we identify her.”

“O.K.,”” Inspector Cosart said, “‘it’s
your baby. Keep me posted on all de-
velopments.”

Sergeant Manning detailed several of
his men to canvass the houses and
farms in the area of the creek. Inquiries
were made at all nearby police head-
quarters for reports of persons missing.
Neither produced any results. Finger-
prints of the corpse were taken and
sent to the F.B.I. in Washington, D. C.

Dr. Boyd’s autopsy report came
through. It confirmed that the woman
found in the creek had been bludgeon-
ed to death. The top of her skull had
been fractured seven times by a blunt
instrument. Any one of the blows would
have been sufficient to have caused
death. Bruises on the face, neck and
arms indicated the woman had put up
a fierce struggle for her life. There was
no indication of criminal assault. Dr.
Boyd stated that the woman had been
dead for 3 days before she was found.

Charts were prepared of the corpse’s

teeth. This was one of the surest means
of identification. A local optometrist
was Called upon to examine the rimless
glasses. The prescription was determin-
ed and all optical supply houses in the
area were asked to check their records
and forward the names of any persons
for whom they had ground lenses of
that particular prescription. Specimens
of the victim’s blood found in the snow
and on her clothing were sent to the
State police lab at Schenectady for an-
alysis.

Another clue came forth when Ser-
geant Manning happened to discuss the
case with his wife. The Mannings were
about to depart on a vacation just be-
fore the case of the frozen corpse broke.
That had to be postponed and the ser-
geant explained the nature of the case
that had interrupted their vacation. In
his description of the corpse, Manning
mentioned to his wife the shoulder pin
with the cryptic name on it.

“Why, that’s the name of a famous
beauty school,” Mrs. Manning said.
“Their home office is in New York
City, but they have branch schools all
over the country.“I know of several
right up in this area.”

Sergeant ‘Manning checked thes tip
out the very next day. He phoned the
head office of the beauty school in New
York City and obtained a complete list
of all their branches in the area. The
nearest one was in Syracuse, N. Y.

Manning went to that city immediately. 4

He learned that the beauty school had %

closed recently, but the school’s records
were available. Tracing through the list
of graduates he found one alumnus with
the initials, ‘“R.P.” The former pupil’s
address was listed as Oneida, which was
close to the scene where the corpse
was found. The sergeant soon learned
int the Oneida woman was alive and
well.

A good break seemed to come when
Manning was informed that a con-
vention of New York State hairdressers
was currently in progress in Syracuse.
Manning and a detail of troopers went
to the convention and circulated photo-
graphs of the dead woman, among the

-hairdressers. No one recognized the

frozen corpse and her identity remained
unknown. f

HE state investigators working as

John Klotz and Cornelius Cook as an-
other, combed the area and visited ev-
ery dentist, optometrist, optician and

three days of this arduous leg-work the
results were nil.

William E. Kirwan, Jr., the director
of the state scientific laboratory, report-
ed that he had been unable to find
anything significant in the analyses of
the blood specimens and clothing. The
frozen corpse had been found on the

OTHER MATTERS,

We went to press on Friday as
soon as the excoution was complete
and the body had been taken from the
scaffold and delivered to his friends
for burial, thus giving the public the
earliest possible details of the affair,
The value of our report was shown by
the avidity which our large extra edi-
tion was taken up by the people in
this and adjoining towns, as well as
by the large crowd in attendance at the
circus in the village that day. In the
hurry of going to press some inacura-
cies occurred in minor details, and
many incidents were omitted which it
was impossible to put in type or which
have since been called to our notice.
We propose now to refer to some of
them in order that ‘our report of the
second execution in this counfy shall
be as complete as possible, Possibly
no execution was ever conducted in
this State so perfectly in

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW

as was this. Sheriff Hill determinod
upon his part that everything should
be in accordance with tho statute, and
though importuned to extend his
courtesies, he was firmin that deter-
mination, The number present there-
fore was small and the names were as
follows :

Ofjicers—Silas RK. Hill, Sheriff of
Ohenango Oounty ; Thomas H. Lewis,
Under Sheriff; Deputy Sheriffs Dwight
Oook and Almon R, Bryant ; Consta-
bles Hiram Whiteand W. H. Graham,
" County Oficers—T. D. Anthony and
W. D. Powell, Justices of Sessions of
the Oourt which tried McCann, and the
following Supervisors; George H,
Baldwin, Guilford; Oyrus Warner,
Pharsalia; 8, W. Hunt, Plymouth ;
Asa Wilbur, Smyrna; 8S. K. Bemiss,
Pitcher ; Charles Rogers, Coventry ;
Hobart Babcock, New Berlin ; Jere-
miah Medbury, Norwich, “and Byron
M, Breed, McDonough.

Physicians—W. H. Stuart, Jail
Physician, Norwich ; James I, Mason,’
Otselic ; L, J. Brooks, Norwich, and
A, O, Hazzard, New Berlin,

Citizens—Samuel H, Hall, (who con-
structed the gallows); Jas, F, Clarke,
Sheriff of Otsego County ; B. Gage
Berry and A. H, Goodwin, Norwich,
‘and ©, H. Browning, Pharsalia.

Representatives of the Press—J. J.
Flanagan, of the Utica Herald; Harold
Frederic, of the Utica Observer ; J. D.
VanVradenburgb, of the Binghamton
Republican ; George A. Thomas, of
the Ohenango Union; and John R.
Blair,’ of the Chenango TreLzcrapn,

At a late moment and some few min-
utes before McCann was removed
from the gallows, Dr, Elias Fox, of
Mohawk arrived and was admitted as
representative of Sheriff Fonda, who
kindly loaned the weight with which
the execution was conducted, At the

greatly upon Felix, This had been
kept up by direotion of the sheriff until
the fatal morning, and the last stimu-
lant that he took we aro informed, was
& half wine glass full of brandy and
water administered after having re-
coived communion and haying made
thanksgiving prayors. By re-
quest of the Priests as well as
the order of Dr, Stuart, no more was
given him, and when he came to the
gallows, tho nerve that ho exhibited
was that of the man, and not from any
artificial exhileration, The attending
Priests were especially particular on
that point, for the importance of the
occasion demanded a clear head for
propor preperation for the great oyent,
au injuucuon which we aro sure the
entire community will approve. We
are the more particular lest our hurried
report, void of explanation, should
have led any oneto think Folix was
under the influence of liquor, which
really was not the case. When
HE STOOD BEFORE THE GALLOWS

his nerve was remarkable, and though
his pulse ran as high as one hundred,his
step was strong and steady as he went
upon the platform, As Father Harri-
gan left him he placed in his hands a
small crucifix which he kept clasped in
his hands until the Rev, Father took it
therefrom after death. During the en-
tire forenoon of the execution and until
after

Wao

IT WAS FINISHED
immense crowds stood upor the public
square facing tho jail, and yet so per-
fect were the arrangements, and so
thoroughly did the crowd appreciate the
solemnity of the scene that was being
enacted therein, that perfect order was
maintained. It was estimated that
there were at least 10,000 persons in
the street, the greater part of whom
stood compactly upon the park, De-
tachments of the Stoamer and Alert
companios were detailed to maintain
order and guard Court House Squaro,
a duty of which they admirably per-
formed under the superintendance of

of Chief Engineer Geo. W, Ray; Esq.

Lator in the day, however, when’ the
guard was relieved and the lines were
broken, there was considerable drunk-
oenness in town, and some fighting,
which was promptly controlled and
checked by the officers.

During the preparation and the exe-
cution, the prisoners were confined to
the cells,and the windows were closely

curtained so that they could see noth.
ing, and thus to them the solemn scene
that was being enacted almost within
their reach was rendered additionally
so by the darkness and silence that
reigned within,

But we dismiss further details, We
have only to close by acknowledging the
many courtesies we haye received from
Sheriff Hill, Daputy Cook, and Officers
Graham and White from time to time,
and from the officiating Priests upon
the day of execution. ‘Their strict at-
tention to their duties and the delicate
and perfect manner in which they
performed them, entitle them to the
thanks of the Press as well as the com-
munity at large.

Childrews Day,

Last Sunday morning was a gala day
for the children of the Methodist
Church Sunday School, The church

was elegantly decorated with a perfeot
forest of flowers, among which were
suspended numerous cages of canary
birds, and their voices blended harmo-
niously with the sweot voices of the
children as they joined with them in
their songs of praise, The exorcises
consisted of singing, reading and reci-
tations appropriate to the occasion by
the children, all of which were finely
rendered. Brief remarks wero made
by the pastor upon the berutifal les-
sons taught by flowers, from which he
drew an impressive moral of value to
both old and young, In the ovening,
Rev. HE. J. Kenyon preached an admi-
rable discourse appropriate to the day,

OPENING OF THE CASE BY THE PEO-
PLE.

The trial of Felix McCann, for the
rourderoi Jas, Md. UHarch, began at
on adjourned Oyer and Terminer, to-
day (Luesday) at 10 o’clock, The cir-

cumstances attending the murder
briefly told aro thess: Aft a point
abo.t three miles south of Sherburne

and known to the world by tho eu-
phonious title of ‘Nigger Holler”
lived as near neighbors for the last
few years, James M, fateh and Felix
McCann, ‘There had been a feud
existiug between thetwo families, for
something like two years, though they
had been on speaking terms for most
of the time, On Lhursday afternoon
Dec. 3, 1878, Hatoh, it is claimed, shot
one of McCann’s chickens, which was
trespassing on the premises of the
former, MeoCann, at the time was in
Sherbarne indal ging in one of his
periodival drunks. On his return he
was told by bis wife of the ruthless
slauchtor of the innocent chicken, In
his drunken frenzy, he resolved to be
avenged by shooting Hatch, At about
ten minutes to five on the fatal Decem-
ber aftornoon Airs. Hatoh, lighted a
jamp —and retired to a dark recess,
leaving her husband standing by the
kitchen window, when suddenly she
was startled by the beavy report of a
gun in olose proximity to the house.8he
heard the rattling of the breaking glass,
and looking up saw her husband stag-
ger from the window, saying: ‘I’m
aot, I’m gone, I shall nexer get oyer
it,” Hothen fell heavily to the floor,
where he immediately expired. Look-
ing from the window, sbe saw Telix
McCann, standing by the dooryard
fenco, some twenty-six feet distant,
resting a gun on the rail of the fence.
tio then shouldered his gun and ren
home, McCann was arrested,and after
the Uoronor’s inquest brought to jail.

At an early hour, this morning, jury-

men end sspectators began to assemble
atthe Court Honse, and long before
tho prisoner was brought in, the bench
es were well filled by a buzzing crowd
of eager lookerson, At 10 o'clock,

the court, and IT. D, Anthony and W.

May it please the Court and Gentlemen of the Jury:

Tho prisoner at the bar, Felix MoCann, stands
indicted for the felonious, wilful and premedl-
tated murder of James MM. Match. The grand
jury of your county under their oaths have pre-
vented to you for trial, that on the Sd day ot
December, 1878, ab the town of Sherburne, in
Chenango County, the said Felix McCann of his
malice aforethought, and with the premeditated
design of effecting the death of the said James
M. Hatch, with a certain gun or musket, called
an army gun, inhis hand or hands then and
there held and with certain leadea shotor bal-
lets, did shoot, kill and murder him the satd Jd.
AL. Hatch with the intent him to kil and murder.
Stripped of its legal verbiage and finery, thts {8
the charge. ‘The prisoner has travecsed this
charge, and by his plea of “not guilty” nas raised
the issue which comes to you for deterinination,
As the juntor for the peopie it becomes iy duty
to lay before you the history of this case, its e'r-
cumstances and its surroundings, as will be more
fully developed by the testimony,

In the discharge of this my duty I belleve I
fully appreciate the great reaponsibility resting
upon me, and Lbelieve you, the Court, and
the counsel for the defense realize that which
rests upon you and them respectively. We, tho
counsel for the people, end for the defense, aud
the court, are to discharge our duties here under
the obligations of our oaths of onlce, you are to
dissharye yours under the oath you have taken
here to well and truly try the traverse between
the people and the prisoner, and a just and trio
verdict give according to the evidence,

Tho autics wo have s0 by the law taken upon
ourselves are surrounded py fearful responsibil.
ities, and they are sblerun duties gentiomen,
that we are all entering upoa. Solemn for my-
self and my learned brother the district attorney,
who have undertaken to fix this awful crime
upon the prisoner. Solemn forthe learned gen-
tlemen who have undertakon his defense. Sol-
emn for you who hold in one hand the fe of this
unhappy man, and inthe other the welfare, the
safety und protection of life, home and society,
solemn for the honorable Court which must nold
oveniy the scales of Justice, deciare to us the
law of the case, and py and by mayhap pass the
sentence of the law.

lralae my eyes and hands to the merciful
heavens and fervently pray, gentlemen, that [
and you, and all of us, May nave divine help to
discharge each and all of these duties imposed
on us honestly, fairly, truly and justly, Houest-
ly and fairly towards this prisoner, yet truly and
justly towards the peopie and social order.

No wrong shall bejdone this most unhappy man
If innocent, myself and my learned brother will
rejoice in his acquittal. If guilty, law, justice
and public policy,demand his punishment, and
neither you, the prisoner himself nor iis counsel
can object that the law shall not be satisfied,

he law seeks not vengeance, but judgment.
“Vengence is mine saich the Lord.” The law
demands that crime when found, shall be fear-
leasly punished, not for vepgence, not for any
pain to be inflicted upon the criminal, bat for
example sake, to deter others from like offences
and to protect organized society,

«Whoso sheddeth man’s blood by man Shall
his blood be shed,” and ‘thou shalt not kill.”
Such is the law of God spoken with fearful dis-
tinctness. Red handed murder shall not go un-
punished, The life of this man cannot compen.
pate forthe life already taken. Canrot recall
the soul hurried all unprepared into the presence
of the High Judge, It is not compensation the
law asks. Itis protection and safety from such
crimes. Thatis the purpose of all human pun-
ishment.

Tho land rans red with the hearts’ blood of in-
nocent human victims. ‘The victims of human
passion and lust, From all over the country
comes the cry of the widow and orphan; the
childless, the boreaved aud the desolate, made x0
py the lawless, unchecked passions and lusts of
m

en. .

sympathy for this bad man and for his wife and
child, must not deterus from our duty. Re-
member other hearts bleed and ache. A widow
and orphan weep inthelr own home and ‘will
not be comforted.” A peaceful, nappy home
has been made desolate. 1U’3 head stricken down
in the prime of manhood, This was no drunken
prawl; no sudden passion ; no great provoca-
tion, but cold blooded murder, An inoffensive
man stauds at the window of his own house in
fancied security. He knows no enemy. He con.
templates no harm to or frora any man. He is
watching the fading sunlight. He dwells upon
his home and his famlly, and thanks Gad for all
he has bestowed in this beautiful life.’ In an in-
stant, without a moment's warning he is
stretched dead upon his own floor, his lire blood
swelling out with each throb og tne pierced and
mangied heart.

Geutlemen, such crimes must not go unpun-
ished. You are the sentinels set to watch tho
public peace and safety ; to guard homes and
hearthstoues from the entry Of redhanded mur-—
dééers and assassins, You are the watchman
set upon the tower. ‘‘What of the night, watca-

lelight to. chronicle,

| residence of H. R. Lamb,of Columbus,

on Wednesday, June 4th, the occasion
soing the marriage of his daughter

| Mary and Jay G. Holmes of Marcellus,

N, Y., @ young fanyer who has certain-
ly displayed great skillin pleading his
own case “in court.” Rev, A. 1', Wor:

en, of poetical fame, performed the
‘eremony at half past two o’clock in
the presence of about fifty guests, Tho
bride was attired in an elegant robe of

white silk made in some bewildering

fashion, which wo sre nob insane
enough to attompt a deseription of.
She wore no ornaments but natural
white flowers, and, notwithstanding
she threatened us with the extreme
penalty of the daw, if, in our notice, we
dared to call her “beautiful” or ‘‘ac-
complished,” we love to tell the truth
just as woll as did the Father of our
country, and therefore take our life in
our own hands and deolare that the sun
nevor shown upona fairer, lovelier
bride, The solemn words were spoken,
and then followed the usual congratu-
lutions and rofreshmonts—the straw-
berries and cream causing us to feel
very amiable. Next édame music and
social chat, then the barouche came
around to the door, and as the bride
had already donned her stylish trayel-
ing suit, nothing remained to be done
but to speak the parting words, Ah

'me! why is it that tears must lurk io

The father and mother
realized, full well, that the child they
had reared so tenderly, could never
again bo their very own, as in the past,
Sympathy for them was becoming con-
tagious, when T. G, Lamb, of Sher-
burne, came to the rescue, and created
the needed merriment by throwing an
old slipper after the departing couple,
and in Iusty tones wishing them a
“long and happy life.” Itis a source
of rogrot that we cannot onumerate tho
many viluable presonts, together with
the names of the giver, Exch one was
worthy of notice, but lack of space for-

eyery smile?

bids it, wo can only mention a fow.
Father Holmes gave an _ elegantly

bound, illustrated family Bible, sister
Cora, a silyer ice pitcher, with gold
lined goblots and Japanese tray; Mz.
and Mrs, E, H. Lamb, of Waterville, a
beautiful clock of quaint design, and
fathor Lamb, a thousand dollar Gov-
ernment Bond. There were books,
pictures, vases, point lace. gold coin,
fans &e., &e., fa sides articles of silver
ware of ull descriptions.

Thus Columbus has lost another of
her favorito daughters, and we learn
that this wock still another one will
‘ro and do likewise.” Of course. we
wish them happiness and prosperity,

y|but we do wish that hereafter fel-
| ters from furrin parts

would content
themselves with such wives as they can
find at homo, and not come swooping

Our unneually full report of the exe-
cution of Felix }[eCann for the murder
of James M. Hatch, in our Friday’s
edition, closed with the delivery of the
body of the executed man to his
friends for interment, The body was
taken out of the jail yard by the Oourt
street entrance, and up COourt stroot
theuce to Sherburne in a hearso which
had been sent here for that purpose
uuder the charge of John Leonard, In
due time it arrived at the home which
in December last was the scene of the
tragedy and which Felix had left a
prisoner never more to return - alive.
On Saturday evening our reporter

MCOCANN’S RESIDENCE
and was courteously admitted and
ushered into the kitchen where were
seated from twelve to fifteen friends of
the deceased,. Some were sitting quiet-
ly smoking; in one corner sat the
father-in-law of Felix amusing a child,
Tho widowed Catharine McOann sat
by the little window that opened into
the addition where lay the corpse of
her husband, pale and still, with can-
dle, bell and crucifix at his head. Our
reporter was seated near Mrs, McOann,
and after a brief intervalshe remarked,
pointing to the corpse, ‘Poor men,

poor man, be hada hard row to hoe, *

He always was kind to me, but they
murdered him.” Some further con-
versation was, had, then the talking
hushed and the mournful wake was
about to commence, made doubly sad
by the*peculiar circumstances of the
case. The scone was a sad one, and
not wishing to intrude upon tho griof
of the stricken, the reporter loft at
eleven o’clock, The wake, as is the
custom, continued until morning with
the observance of proper decorum,

At the Catholic Church, on Sunday
morning, during the intermission
which follows Mass, Father Luddan
referred to the execution of McCann
ina touching manner, and exhorted
the congregation to pray for the repose
of his soul. “Always remember,” said
the good Priest, ‘‘the last words of
Felix to his wife and child, ‘Be prac-
tical Catholics, attend, Mass and neyer
neglect your religious duties,’” te
announced that McOann would bo
buried that afternoon at two o’oclock,
in consecrated ground, but with no
solemnity whatever.

THE FUNERAL,

At the appointed hour the body was
taken from tho residence direct to the
cemotory, followed by a procession of
vehicles at least bali a mile in length,
The Priest was not present, Arriving
at the graye the coflin was opened and

-an opportunity given to view the re~

mains, which was embraced by all
present, which must have numbered
some three or four hundred, Upon
attempting to lower the coflin and box
to the grave it was found too small,
and it had to be enlarged, which con-
sumed considerable time, and when
completed it was lowered without fur-
ther trouble. A handful of dirt was
reverontly thrown upon the coflin by a
bystander, and then the *¥orkmen
filled the grave, Thus ended the sad
tragedy, originating in a family feud
over two small chickens and ending
with taking the lives of two stalwart
men, making two ,women widows and
two children fatherless,

MCOANN’S WILL,

A few days before his death McOann
made his will, by which he direoted
first that all his debts, ‘especially the
fees of his counsel be paid in full. We
learn that one of his counsel, Hon, E.
H. Prindle, generously offered to make
no charge for his services, McCann
wishes all that remains to be equally
diyided between his wife and daughter
and if possible that they shall arrango
to work the farm,

During the preparation for the gal-
lows, Dr. Stuart, jail physician,entered
the celland was warmly greeted by
McUann, for he had not seem him since
his return from the west, The doctor
was surprised at McCann’s nerye and
coolness ; for previous to his going
west ha had found it necessary to pre-
scribe stimulants in moderate quanti-
ties, for the confinement was telling
groatly upon Felix. This had been
kept up by direction of the sheriff until
the fatal morning, and the last stimu-
lant that he took we are informed, was
a half wine glass full of brandy and
water administered after having re-
ceived communion and haying made
thanksgiving prayers. By re-
quest of the Priests as well as
the order of Dr, Stuart, no more was
given him, and when he came to the
gallows, the nerve that he exhibited
was that of the man, and not from any
artificial exhileration. The attending
Priests were especially particular on
that point, for the importance of the
occasion demanded a clear hoad for
proper preparation for the great eyent,
an injunction which we are sure the
entire community will approve. Wo
are the more particular lest our hurriod
report, void of explanation, should
have led any one to think Iclix was
undor the influence of liquor, which
really was not the case. When

by the lawless, unchecked passions and iuste of
mon, ry

sympathy for this bad man and for hls wife and
“child, must net deterus froin our duty, Re-
member other hearts bleedand ache. A widow
and orphan weep inthelr own home and “will
not.be comforted.” A peaceful, happy home
has been made desolate. It's head stricken down
jn the prime of manhood, This was oo drunken
brawl; no suddea passion ; ho great provoca-
tion, but cold blooded murder, An inoffensive
man stands at the window of his own house in
fancted security, He kuow3 noenemy. Le con.
tempiates no harm to or from auymanu. He is
watching the fading sunlight, He dwells upon
his Dome and his famuly, and thanks God forall
he has bestowed in this beautifullife. In au in-
stant, without a moment's warniog he ts
stretched dead upon his owa Noor, his iiie blood
swelling out with each throb oz the plerced and
mangled heart.

Gentlemen, such crimes must not go unpun-
ished. Youarethe sentinels sel to watch tho
public peace and safety ; to guard homes and
nearthstoues from tne entry of redhauded mur-
derers and assassins, You ure the watchman
get upon the tower. ‘What of the night, watch-
mano?” You are the guardians of every home,
every man and woman i: the land, you may say
it shall be safe to be at home aad tn the hosomet
your family. You are the “avengers of blood,”

How shallitbe? Shall deliberate murder be
done and go unpunished? How shall we feel
safeinour own homes? “Watchman, what of
the night?” If we prove this man guilty, as we’
surely shail, let your answer be from the tower,
from the sentry box—‘‘All is well”—and having
go answered as the day light appears, step
down again into the ranks, go to your homes
and feei in your inner most hearts, ‘All is well.”
I have stated to you the law divine as I read it,
The law of your State declares that the unlaw-
ful kuling of any human being with the premedi-
tated and doliberate design of effecting death,
shall be murder in the tirst degree, ‘hat is the
crime of which this man 1s gulity if at all gutity.
There is no manslaughter in this case in any of
its degrees. Heis guilty of deliborate murder
or not guilty at all,

To constitute murder four things are essen-
tl

al. .
I. The person killing must be of sound mind
and memory, meaning as said by our Court of
Appeals, able to know right from wrong.

il. here must be an actual kiliing, meaning
as said by the same Court? in Rulofi’s case, 18
N. Y. Rep., 4 person must be kilied and you
must find the body. :

ILL, She person killed must bo a haman veing
alive.

1V, There must be malice expross or implied,

(lL Arehb. Cr, Pr. $31.) Meaning under our
statute, 3K. 8, 923 8, 66 hd., a premeditated in-
tent to kill. :

What are tiie evidences of this man’s guilt?
They are ay numerous as the leaves upon the
trees in June, in part positive, and in part cir-
cumstantial, The motive, ta® malice, the iu-
tent, I shalispeak of by and by, The evidence!
What isit? It {sx such as exists in every case of
murder. Itisinthe circumstances ; it is in the
tracks of the guilty man who cannot rest, who
starts and trembies at his own shadow ; he fears
and suspects himself and his fellows; he de-
nies, ho fabricates, he tells false stories and
gives falao oxplanations ; he feels his guilt; ho
vhinks it written in terrible lotters on his brow 5
there is.not any rost for his fect, “hero ts a
homely but true saying that “Mucdor will out,”
Caln donted that he knew ought of his brother,
He was not his brother’s Keeper. No human eye
saw the deed—but God found him out as did his
own guilty conscience, He was to be a fugitive
and a wanderer on the face of the earth, and he
dare not go. Noman knew of his guilt, yet he
feared his fellows: ‘Whosoever shall find me
will slay me.” Ah! the guilty knowledge mukey
the man tremble and he is in danger from him-
self. The dumb stones rise up as witnesses
against him whose hands are red with his
brother’s blood,

The Greek historian tells a fine story illustra-
ting this in the ‘Avenger of Ibycus.” The poet
Ibycus was travelling alone in a woody district

his last he said, “‘Benold the avengers of my

in the open theatre at Corinth. <A flock of craves

one of them exclaimed, “Lo! behold the aven-

Chap Weerapy,

(From Firat Page)

This same day Paul Brown 420 rods
away at abont five o’clock, heard a
loud report; eo did Jones so did young
Church } mile away: so did Geo,
Prosser at over ao mile away,
Sho is thus oyerwholmingly support
ed, Thealcoye is only a foot away
from the window, and she immediately
went tothe door and shouted ‘‘mar-
der!" Paul Brown, Jones, and Prot:
ger, all say they heard the cry right
after the shot. She says sho saw a
man standiug by the fence, and the
window sash and the shot there prove
it. She then tells whatshe did for her
husband, Isittrue? In a few mo-
ments Paul Brown comes there and
flads the pillow under his head and the
pool of bloody water near his head ;
and Ohurch tells you he found the
smell ofcamphor. Brown:comes down
and looks in and sees Hatch lying
there, and eaw everything just as she
says, Didshe go to Paul Browns?
why, Jones says he saw her there, Is
hor story corroborated? What else
does she tell you? That she went to
Husteds and they say she did. Her story
is corroborated to the very letter. Im-
nediately after the shot was fired—
whilo she was overwhelmed with grief,
tho very first person she saw she tells
that McCann had shot her husband
dead. Was she inaconditionto get
up aliethen? Ifsome other person
nad shot her husband, would she have
more resentment to fix if upon
Felix MoCann  tban upon the
true porson? Do you believe it
gontlemen ? Is it  reasonable—
Isn’t it nonsense from beginning to
eud? Is thero anything in Mrs, Hatch
that shows a disposition to swear
Folix McOann’s life away? If she
wants to swear his life away. why
doesn’t she say that she saw him pull
the trigger ? Why isn’t she here with
such a story as she could have made
up? Ou tho contrary she only teils
you sho saw him take his gun off the
fence. That alone puts the stamp of
truth upon ber whole story. Then she
is corroborated in every respect. How
easy for her to have made up much
worso story, Ab, gentlemen, in the
prosenco of her dead she has no dis.
position and no desire to toll aught but
the truth. Was Felix the man who
stood there? That very day he buys
a box of caps at Sherburne, and that

night denies he has any caps
‘or bad any for five years—except
six he got of Leonerd

Counsel would have you believe that
ho had forgotten the fact that he had a
whole box in his pocket. Dare you
boliove that Felix forgot those caps?
He did not, gentlemen; he thought
perhaps it migut not bo discovered, or
he could throwthem away. He knew
if they were found it would forgea
Jink in the chain around him to-day.
Mon have been executed, aud properly,
too, for having no other proof against
them than that they had the means
to commit acrime, What are you go-
ing to say to this gotting caps on tho
same day? What are you going to say
to the fact that after he had said he
put part of tho shot in the post, and
¢hen whon he is told that the shot holes

1@ says ho put all the shot in?
What are you going to
Bay about this gun fou d

in bis houso black and moist? Counsel
did not disouss that proposition, and
he knew if he did he’d only get his
olient in deeper. You can tell how long
since a gan has been fired, by its con-
dition, Ab, gentlemen, this gun, got
on the day the threats were made, the
caps got on the day the man was killed
this gun found on the day the man
waa murdered, recently discharged—
what are you going to say ? was Paul
Brown in any doubt ? didn’t he know
the moment be saw that corpse, that
tho other chapter in the crime Was
down to McOauns ? Did’nt he go right
down thore ? What does he do when
ho gots inthe house? Paul Brown
tells you the truth about what happen-
ed at McOan’s, If he tells the trath,
thea are Felix, Minnie and Mrs, Mo
Cann false. He asks, ‘‘what does this

shooting and ory of, murder mean, 2”

there and fail. He wanted caps tiat
when he fired at that window, ‘bey
shonid not fail, Woy didn’t be draw
the charge at Leonards? Why, the
boys would bave seen the shots—and
be couldn’t fix itup asin the privacy
of bis own house, An inuocent mav
when accused of crime may beovme
coptused like a guilty one, and it may
be that from bis manner that he will
be thought gmilty. Bat po innosent
man ever acted as stolidly as Felix
McCann, Innocence when under accu-
sation, never assumes stoical calmpeys,
You never heard of it, you never will,
How much consideration is that man
entitled to, when after layin a woman's
husband derd in her own house, turns
nround and tries to blacken her charac-
ter, and show sbe and he were partier
inshame. I don’t believe a word of
his story. Do not belieye that you
belisve it, What is that man deserving
of, who to save himself would tell a
story like this ? That story was told
for effect, and the newspapers with
their desire for news, picked up the
story that this woman was a woman of
bed repuve, Who started the story ?
Felix McOann,

Mrs, McCann and Minnie say he was
out of the house only once; he srys
he was out twice. Do you believe
that Paul Brown asked what the shooting
meant, thon what aro you going to say when
Chureh came in there and they say thoy havo
heard nothing? It is not necessary for me to
discuss what is the degree of this crime, The
Court will discuss it better and with less pus-
sion than either of the counsel, The District
A\ttorney then proceeded to the discussion if
the crime wero murder in the first degree,
and read the statute of the State. Counsel
ds:ussed at lergthy premeditation and
deliberation and read the definition
of the words from Websters Unabridged, instead
of from the decisions of “the State.
From what counsel said, I thought a
man must sit down and think the matter over
then talk about it with his friends, before he
could commit murder in the first degree. But
the law is that the man must form in his
mind the design to commit the crime, and if
it be formed in 60 seconds of time, it forms
all the design the statute requires. Did Fe-
lix meditate upon this crime ? If he know
when he went out and when he fired at Hatch
it would kill him, he had deliberated all that
was desired under the law. But, gentlemen,
why was the gun got as it was, why was the
charge drawn and part of it shot away ; and
why borrowing powder and ‘shot ; why was
he getting the army caps? Why,gentlemen,
if youtake the view of my learned friends,
eyen then is the evidence perfectly complete
to make the crime murder in the first de-
gree, Ifwhen he heard of the shooting of
the rooster, he formed the design,. then was
there enough of premeditation, as I said in
the opening.
and predjudices. It is no pleasure for mo to
prosecute this case, nor for the court to pre-

does it because it’ is his duty. Now it is for you
to do your duty and the people will
bo satisfied, But if you are to be talked out
of your verdict by the subtleties of counsel
then will you have added another reason why
courts are called humbugs. If ycu have a
desire for maintaining the law, then do your
duty ; if not, then render such a verdict as
will make vou a jeer aod laughing stock, I
have no feeling against the prisoner nor his
family, IfI should be governed by my
sympathies and my fears in tho administra-
tion of the law as prosecuting attorney, thon
the people would have the right to find fault
with me, just ag I shall feel at liberty to find
fault with you if you do not do your duty in a
plain case like this,

At half past four Mr. Church closed his
argument and the Judga commenced his

charge.

KNGLAND,

Lonvon, March 27,—1t may be stated
With aatuority that in the best inform-
ed political sad commercial circles ser-
ious alarm is felt for the immediate fu-
ture of England. In addition to tho
Wars iu Afghanistan and Zululand, the
goveroment appears likely to become
involved in a: conflict with Burmah,
while the correspondence with Russia
couceruing the exeoution of the treaty
of Berlin is anything but pacific in its
nature, [uv his dispatoh to Lord Luf.-
tus, which the latter was directed to
reai!'othe Russian Prime Minister,
Lord Salisbury charges that the Rus-
sivp ngeuts in Hast Romania are per-
Mnii'ed tu lead the poople there to be-
siove thut au insurrection against Tar-
key will seonre their independence and
union wits Bulgaria, The Russian ra-
ply is by no means concilitory and the
situation is extremely doubtful,

To add to the gravity of the situa-
tion, the latest advices from Afghanis-
tan indicate that much more fighting
ut a very ‘urga cost will be necessary,
There are 8,000 English troops in Afgh-
anistan, many of whom are daily be.
coming invalided by the climate, A
quarrel! with Burmah will require at
ieast 5,000 troops, and 15,000 men are
now either in South Africa or on the
way thither,

Meanwhile business doos not improve,
The slight amelioration caused by the
opening of the spring trade has passod
away. The large manufactories are do-
ing a bad trade. The fivancial news
from India is most gloomy and a new
Joan of twenty-five millions of dollars
is to be asked for by the Indian Rov
ernment, to meet losses caused by the
demonetization of silver in England,
Altogether the outlook is regarded as
extremely discouraging.

Ab, gentlemen, this gun, got
on the day the threats wero mado, the
caps got on the day the man was killed
this gun found on the day tho man
was murdered, recently discharged—
what are yon going to ray ? was Panl
Brown in any doubt ? didn’t ho kuow
tho moment he saw that corpse, that
tho other chapter in the orimo was
Gown to McCanns ? Did’nt he go right
down there ? What does he do when
he gets inthe house? Paul Brown
tells you tho truth about what happen-
ed at McOan’s, If he tells the trath,
then are Felix, Minnie and Mrs, Mo
Cann false, He asks, ‘what does this
shooting and orv of murder mean ?”
Shooting and cry of marder
brings up a crowd in a
wilderngss, and they ask—where, when,
why ? Would you if that clarm were
raised in your house, poogin to-~«talk
about corn? Ifinnocent you would
ory, ‘‘where is my hat ? let us go and
seo what it means ;” but if guilty, then
like Felix McCann you would skulk in
the house and begin to talk about
hons. There was no need for Brown
to tell them Hatch was shot, they knew
it. They may not have known just
where he lay or just how he was
wounded, but Felix and Oathberine
and Minnie thought that shot had ta-
ken effect, for they all told Joe Bry-
ant they heard the cry. :

Who are the next visitors? Wm‘
Church and son.
Church that MoCann was shot dead,
and they hastened over there. (‘The
counsel repeated the testimony of Mr.

Church.) McOann says: ‘* You had
better zo home if yon haye come to
tir np strife among neighbors; there’s
row cnough among the neighbors,”
What was there to call forth the reply
that was made? What is the reason
and tbe common sense answer te their
question? JTelix knew there was a
grizzly horror at Hatob’s, aud he also
koow if it was investigated it would
bring him to death, Had a_ neighbor
asked you that question and said he
was glad you were not shot, what
would be your reply? Would you
tell him what McOann did, or would
you say you were greatful he had come
over? If you had been commit-
ting a crime, snd wero conscious down
in your heart that you had committed
acrime, and that an investigation
would hunt you to death, then you’d
say: ‘You had better go home.” Mr,
Church asks about the shooting, They
reply they hadno’t heard anything, but
Folix says here he did hear tbe shot,
Gentlemen, aro you going to believe
an iota of his story? Take his story
and pronounce all this cloud of wit-
nesses liars, ee

Counsel enumerated those witnesses
that McUann told he heard the shot,

Aro you going tobelieve him as against
these men ? Had any mana motive to

kill Morris Hatch ? Was there a man
who had quarreled with him for years ?

Was there aman with whom he had
fought 2? Was there? What was his

newo? The evidenco answers the

question, His name was Felix McCann,
his nearest neighbor, What do you
think of this mah saying he was a friend:
of his,—be always liked him,‘ If they
yous friends then they have a queer
wey of showing friendship in “Nigger
holler,” T never saw exhibited anywhere

Then Mrs, H, gays she went to the
window and anw Felix taking up his
gun, and then she went to the door and
calied, ‘*‘Murder!’” and saw him
scooting down the road, Why didn’t
she call out that Zelix McCann was
the murderer? Why did she wait?
Why did she wait? Tho fact that
Mrs, H, did not see him and that sha
lid not claim that he did the deed till
long afterwards, go to show that she
did not see him, If Felix was siily
stealing abont and waiting to shoot
Hatch would he have stayed there
with his gun resting on the fences ?
Wouldn’t he immediately flee away ?
\.ost assuredly he would. So when
Mrs. H, says he waited there till she
could come from another part of the
room to see him, she tells an improba-
ble story, Aside from the improbabil-
ity of the story of Mrs. H., when the
life of an individual is at stake, will
you believe her? She bas been im-
peached by her neighbors. Six men
come upon this stand and tell you

tbat her reputation for truth and vera-

city is bad, and they would not believe
her under osth, T:.ey are her neigh-
bors,and good honest meu and say they
would not believe her. Will you re-
gard it, orcast it aside? The Dist,
Atty. may claim she bas been sustained,
but when six men say: a witnesses’
character is bad a witness cannot be
sustained. But what was the evidence
of the eustaining witnesses? They
all told you with oneexception that her
general character was bad. Mr, Man-
warren did not say her general charac-
ter was bad, beoause he was too buey
And
ve-
racity they said they never heard it
questioned. What kind of sustaining
iv that ?. Are you going to believe her
story in view of its improbability and
that she was impeached ? It is hard
to take a person’s life on the testimony
of one witness, be the character of the
witness ever so good. The old Roman
law and civil law required two witnesses
to establish every’fuct. You can be-
lieve one witness, but men are so liable
to make mistakes that thea old Roman
law required two witnesses,
ture says, ‘in the mouth of two or
three” shall every fact be
established. It is not only human law,
but Scripture as well, Why it takes
two witnesses to convict a man of
forgery—a crime far less than murder,
Will you then convict this man on the
evidence. of this one frail. woman ?

- Twanttocallyour attention to the
fact that Mrs. Hatoh is flatly contras
dicted by two witnesses’ npon en im-
portant point—ono of whom is at least
entirely disinterested. Apply the rule
‘*fatse in one, false in all,” If she has
sworn false inone respect she will io
all respects. Minnie McOann end the

cent manner of the Phillipsgirl, Er- -
one is satisfied that Mrs, Haton did
say on that evening that she would
show Minnic the contents of her pis-

did not say so. That shows sho had
no regard for her oath, You ara to
say, ti sho falsified in this respect, if
you are to believe her in any other re-
spect,

Iam to show you that McCann bad

It is shown in an absence of thronts,

prosecution only called a few witnesses
to do away with the impeachment of
Mrs, Hatch, and for correction of Mo-
Oaun’s statements, and one or two
other matters, The following is the

made to introduce the minutes of the

them the testimony of Mrs. MoQann,
This was »bjected to on the ,ground
that the coroner bad not shown that he

FIYTH DAY,

Saturday morning March 29tb, court
met at9a.M. A dense crowd of peo-
ple filled every available part of the
court room. Within the. bar sat the
prisoner and wife, and little gir , and
to the right of them. sat Mrs, Hatch
and Alonzo. About one-third of the
sudience are ladies, The number of
lawyers in the bar far exceeded that of
any other day. They had evidently as-
sembled to hear the, brilliant efforts of
their brethren.

At 9:07 Hon. E. H, Prindle addressed
the jury in behalf of the defense :

Gentlemen of the Jury :—{t is not
necessary to eiter into details, neither
to state certain rules. The facts in
dispute are very few. It is not dis-
puted that Latch was not killed. ‘the
question is did the deft. fire the shot,
‘he o img ia sought to %e established
as against the defendant by presump-
tive proof, ire. Laioa only swears
that she saw McCann lifting the gun,
No witness swears he saw the crime
committed. You are asked to presume
that McCann did the crime, Aside
from Mrs, Hatch’s testimony, I am un-
able to see how @ jury can fasten the
crime upon this prisoner by rules of
law. By and by I shall discuss her
evidence aud ask you to strike her evi-
dence out.of the case because she has
been impeached and of the intrinsic
improbabllities of tho story she tells.
I ask you, if possible, to disrobe your-.
selves of all predjudice against the
prisoner, The counsel for prosecution
in his opening said jaries did not re
gard the life of a human being as much
as that of adog. Idon’t know why
hoe said it, unless to prejudice you
against the prisoner. He comes here sin-
gle handed, ;alone,not surrounded by in-
fluential friends, here is no reason
why you should be predjudiced, J ask
you to look only at the facts that have
been proved and look at those alone.
It is a rule of jaw in cases
of this kind that the evidence
must satisfy yon beyond any reason-
able doubt. The facts must be such
as to exclude every hypothesis ofinno-'
cence, What are reasonable doubts,
They are to be xcasonable doubts,such
as you would heed in the ordinary
affairs of life. Suppose if this man
were innocent and if be were to suffer
the terrible consequences if you render
a yerdict against him, then what
would be your doubts. The doubts
you would have under such circam-
stances are reasouable doubts,

The counsel then proceeded to review
Mrs. H.’s evidence. What does sbe
say ? When it wae light enough to see
&@ person many rods, she says her hus-
band went to the window and iooked
out ; she stays by a recess, He was
looking out. What did he see ? If Felix
was prowling about, why didn’t Mr, H.
see him ? How ovuld it be possib'e for
Hatch not to see him when only twenty
seven feet from the windows. Yet H,
did not ses him, we must presumo he
did not see him, Could a man stand
looking out of the window and another
have time to aim at him and fire, and
he pot sea him ? He would
have fallon back, and yet Hatch did
not say he saw him, nor fall back;

y¥ wo Wiinerses ypon O°
portant point—one of whom is at least
entirely disiaterested, Apply the rule
‘false in one, false in all,” If she has
sworn false inone respect she will in
allrespects, Minnie MicCann rnd the
Phillips girl both swear that Mrs.
Hatch s:id she’d show Minnie the con-
tents of her pistol, You saw the inno-
cent manner of the Phillipsgirl. Every
ono is satisiied that Mrs. Hatoh did
say on that evening that she would
show Minnie the contents of her pis-
tol, Mre, Hatch positively swoars she
did not asy so. ‘That shows she had
no regard for her oath, You ara to
say, f sho falsified in this respect, if
you aro to bolieve her.in any other ro-
spect,

Iam to show you that McCann had
no murdor in his heart and no wilful
intention,

It is shown in an absence of threats,
McCann was a drinking man, and a
talkative man, ‘They bring here many
things that he said, that he is a very
talkative man and a reckless man, and
they produce no evidence of a threat
to shoot Mr, Hatch. If heintended to
shoot Hatch, wouldn’t he have let it
out sometime when he was either sober
or drunk? Will you believe that he
bonght the gun with murder in his
heart : that he prepared the gun and
bought the caps and didn’t let it out ?
I believe he would at some time have
made some threats, There has been
n>» threat to shoot proven.

Another part of the case I am to
speak of now which has clouded my
mind. ‘ I cannot believe that Felix had
any shot after be fired into the p st.
I supposed that the prosecution would
show that McCann had at least a charge
of shot in his house with which to
commit thee: ime. They ask you to
presume tbat McCann had shot to
shoot Hatch with. Some ‘ witnesses
swear that MoOann said he divided the
charge of shot, hut in the same breath
deny it. 1s McCann such on idiot as
tomake such un admission? If he
had sense enough to plan and commit
such a murder, would he be _ so foolish
sas to make such a statement ? I have
found why tbis mistake was made,
McCann is in the habit of calling the
whole charge a shot, He told me
about getting s few shots at Leonard’s,
and I soon found he meant the whole
charge. Ido not believe he ever in-
tended to say he divided the shot.

Is it at all probable that if this man
intended to shoot Hatch he would have
divided “the shcet, shot a_ part
into the pcst, and then loaded
the gun toshoot Hatch? If a man
is going to shoot another, wouldn’t
he want his gun to be well loaded ?
Would he be likely to divide the
charge ? There are the shots taken
from *H.’s body—what size shot are
they ? They are not small, but good
size, such as farmers use to hunt game
in the woods, Ican’t nuraber them,
but they are the ordinary size used for
bunting. IL think you will say on
looking at them that they = are
No,.1, sbot, There are No. B. shot and
double B. but these are as Iarge as
No.1. Wefind that 60 of these shots

are found in the body of thie
man, that that gun was charged
with : and then thera were

eleven more found in the clothing,
making seventy shot—and all this after
they had been divided, Now 69 shot
mako an onnee, and an ounce isa full
charge for that gun, ‘Then there must
bave been a full charge in that gun
which was sbot at Hatch, Does that
luok like dividing the charge? Sixty-
nine shot, undivided, make a charge,
and they sbow 70 at ieast fired at
Hatch. Now, Iam not satisfied that
that charge was divided heyond a
reasonable doubt, Look at that post ;
at least 25 or 80 shot marks aro in that
post now—and that in addition to the
70 inthe body of Mr. H. It is evi-
dent that the post was struck on the
side, Some shot must have gone into
the ground, At least one-half of the
oharge must have gone the other side
of the post, You must conclude that
at least 50 shot were Gischarged at
that post. That would have made 120
shot, aa enormous charge to charge a
musket with like that, with as small a
bore as that, Now, gentlemen, are yon
fully satisfied that Mo, divided that
charge? Would he bo likely to do so
if ‘he intended to shoot Hatoh, or
would it be likely that such a great
charge was inthe gun? If it was not
divided where did the shot come from
that killed Hatoh? If you are not

True Detective Mysteries

Stop Sex Crimes Against Children!

(Continued from page 71)

how he walked with the child to her home,
how she balked, but finally was lured
through the dark hallway into the cellar
with the aid of sweets.

“She led the way and pointed to the
gas meters. I had found a piece of rope
in the cellar and I moved around until
she was in front of me. As I did, she
said, ‘There they are,’ and pointed.

“T put the rope around her neck and
held it tight. I then removed her sunsuit.

“I ‘couldn’t sleep that night,’ Marks
finished. “I considered giving myself up.”

But every trace of remorse had van-
ished, for exactly three days after the
murder Marks was arrested for attempt-
ing to impair the morals of a minor! ’

Marks, like most sex-fiend killers, had
given his warnings to Society. His prison
record goes back to 1910 and includes two
convictions on morals charges.

The public is still wondering why Marks
was allowed to run free on the streets after
committing these horrible crimes—a
DEADLY MENACE.

These crimes are becoming more and
more widespread throughout the coun-
try. Eleven-year-old Joyce Roberts of Mil-
waukee went to the beach to collect candy
wrappers with which she hoped to win a
prize to give her sister as a birthday gift.
Days later her poorly clothed body was
found in a creek. She had been raped,
then strangled.

In California, Albert Dyer lured Melba
and Madeline Everett and Jeanette
Stephens into a ravine where he strangled
them to death, ravished them, then prayed
for forgiveness for the act.

With these child-sex murderers on the
increase and with the almost pathetic pleas
of the people to help put down this rising
menace, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia has
come to the forefront in an effort to focus
attention on the solution—rather than on
the results—of the problem. The Board
of Estimate and Apportionment passed a
bill furnishing $25,000 for this work.

Can anything be done to protect our
children from these fiends?

I think something can be done!

The fact that criminals of this type are
turned loose on Society is not the fault
of the prosecutor or the sentencing judge.
Nor is it the fault of the psychiatrist if
he fails to commit these dangerous de-
generates to insane asylums. The fault
lies squarely with our legislators, who,
knowing the need for certain institutions,
refuse to pass adequate laws because of the
expense involved.

In my twenty-five years experience as
physician in New York City’s Tombs
Prison and psychiatrist to the District At-
torney, I had the opportunity to conduct
mental examinations of thousands of con-
victs. One-third of them fell into the
group known as the psychopathic inferiors.
Ten percent of this group, or three point
three percent of the whole, falls into the
abnormal sex classification from which our
child-sex slayers spring.

Section 1120 of the penal law states that
if a person is suffering from such a defect
of reason as not to know’ the nature and
quality of his act and if that person does
not know that the act is wrong ‘such a
person is insane. This definition cannot
be applied to the psychopathic inferior.

Measured by the standard as laid down
by luw, men of the stripe of John Fiorenza,
sex slayer of Nancy Titterton, have no
place in an insane asylum. Legally, they
are sane. Actually they are vicious sacists.

These psychopathic inferiors, whom I
often call “mental cripples.” belong in a
great divide between the sane and the

legally insane. There is no institution
in existence today for their kind. When
convicted they are sentenced to prison,
then released at the expiration of their
time. . . . Nowhere is any attempt made
to cure their mental aberrations.

Every once in a while a man is ar-
rested for a -particularly brutal attack
upon a child or an adult. Such assault
seems to be without provocation. Care-
ful psychiatric examination reveals that
the crime is one of sadism. Such perverts
are usually clever people and it is very
difficult to get at the root of their sex
motives. These are the most vicious of
all perverts and everyone in this class is
a potential murderer. His sexual gratifica-
tion is attained by inflicting torture on his
victim. The more the victim suffers the
greater his delight. Nor is‘it absolutely
necessary for the sadist to actually see
his victim suffer. Albert Fish, after he
had raped and murdered Grace Budd,
wrote a letter to her parents in which he
described unpublishable forms of torture
which he inflicted on the young girl.

When I examined Fish as State Alienist

before the trial which eventually sent him
to his doom, the gray-haired murderer
told me that he had never actually done

the things he described.

It must be remembered that sadists are
repeaters. Thus the vast majority of
those arrested for sex murders have either
a history of previous arrests or else have
been under supervision in institutions de-
voted to the study of mental diseases. Al-
though in most instances these men were
found to be perverts, this was no proof
that they were insane no matter what the
layman might think. There is no state
hospital that will admit a person simply
because he is a. promiscuous homosexual,
sadist, masochist, or afflicted with any
other sexual abnormality which is an off-
shoot of these conditions.

I have recommended in the past, and I
take this opportunity to put forward once
more what I feel to be the simplest method
of eradicating child sex-murders in our
country. District Attorney William Cope-
land Dodge and Harold Hastings, Chief of
the Indictment. Bureau, concur with me,
and I might add that at this writing they
are drafting a bill which they intend to
present before the State Legislature.

(1) The mental hygiene law should be
amended so that private sanilariwms may
admit psychopathic inferiors. Thus if a
family notices one of its members acting
in peculiar fashion and a competent
psychiatrist pronounces him a_case of
psychopathic inferiority, he may.be placed
for treatment im this institution.

(2) For the criminal already convicted,
an institution for psychopathic inferiors
should be erected and the law amended
so that, following observation at some
hospital, or upon the findings of a board
appointed by the court, they can be com-
mitted to this institution instead of to jail.

(3) If a sex psychopath be found in a
state prison, the institution’s psychiatrist,
should make application to the court to
have him transferred to this institution
referred to above. The term for which

the psychopathic inferior is placed in this-

institution should not be fixed but should
be dependent on eventual cure.

. I am happy to note that many of my
colleagues throughout the United States
are at this writing battling for these very
provisions which T have advocated for
more than a score of years and I firmly
believe that eventually we will win in
this fight lo protect our children from
these dangerous sex-fiends.

MARKS, Lawrence, wh, elec. NYS (Kings) June 2, 1938

| Brooklyn’s
| Most Wanton

| SEX CRIME

7 a saga ; ae esate Tan girl’s nude body lay sprawled across a baby

carriage in a dark cellar, Around her neck,
tightly bound, was the rope with which she had
been strangled.

It was a horrible, heart-breaking picture. It con-
fronted police with Brooklyn’s most savage and wan-
ton sex crime.

The victim was Paula Magagna, 8 years old. She
had been lured into the basement by a moron. There
in the darkness, where none could hear, her cries of
terror and pain, she was beaten, attacked and mur-
dered.

Police, incensed at the prevalence of sex crimes
against children, went into action on a large scale.
About 400 suspects were rounded up and grilled.
Vagrants, morons and suspicious characters of all
types and descriptions were closely questioned, but
to no avail.

Witnesses volunteered the information that a man
was seen leaving the vicinity of the crime on the day
it occurred. This gave new impetus to the investiga-
tion and supplied police with a description to be broad-

cut short her young life by strangling

SEX CRIMES

AGAINST CHILDREN!

August 6th, 1931—Arrested in Queens—impairing the
morals of a minor—sentenced to jail.

May 19th, 1935—Arrested for annoying a girl on the
subway—fined ten dollars. :

February 4th, 1937—Arrested in Brooklyn—rape—held
for grand jury.

March 3rd, 1937—-Grand jury refused to indict on rape
charge—returned indictment endangering the morals of a
minor—released on bail.

It was while awaiting trial on this charge that Ossido
committed the murder of Einer Sporrer. The public is still
wondering why this man with a bickground of child-sex
offenses was permitted to run free on the streets, a DEADLY
MENACE. His entire background and criminal record
showed him to be an unregenerate fiend who only awaited
the opportunity to strike again.

Why, then, was this man freed from custody? Upon
whose shoulders should fall the burden of responsibility ?
Certainly it is not the fault of the innocent victim. Nor
can all the blame be placed on Ossido, guilty as he is, for
like the rattlesnake -he hissed -a lethal warning to Society
before he struck.

Society heard this warning but paid no heed.

Paula Magagna, a wistful, brown-eyed, eight-year-old
girl, left her home at 349 Stockholm Street in Brooklyn
on the morning of July 31st, 1937. She visited a friend’s
home but was told by the latter’s parents that her chum
was away with relatives out of town. Little Paula started
for home. Two hours later someone saw her in the hallway
of her house, the last time she was ever seen alive.

In the afternoon her limp, lifeless body was found stretched
across the handlebars of a baby carriage in the cellar of
that same building. About her throat was a knotty clothes-
line which had been used to strangle her. She had been
subjected to horrible torture before the killer raped and
slew her. An orange candy wrapper lying beside her body
gave mute testimony to the killer’s methods.

Police employ a regular routine in working toward the
solution of such cases. These crimes are usually committed
by someone who lives in the neighborhood and has had a
previous record of child-sex offenses.

The dragnet was spread out and days later Lawrence Marks
was arrested and charged with the crime.

The prisoner was a mild, innocent-looking man of forty-

. Marks broke down and confessed the murder to District
Attorney William F. X. Geoghan.

“Last Saturday I met Paula near the B.M.T. subway
station at DeKalb and Wyckoff Avenue,” he said between
nervous puffs on a cigarette. “I asked her where she lived,
and she said, ‘Down there.’ I said, ‘Do you know where
the gas meters are?’ She replied, ‘Yes, sir.’ ”

spector said. “But it’s something. Get
me a magnifying glass.”

Two minutes later and he reached for
a pencil. Quickly he wrote the number:

- 6493-74 WG.

“That's it,’ he said. “Manufacturer's
number. It was on the underside of the
bridge. From that we can determine one
thing only. It will take work, but soon
we will know who made the frame and
what wholesaler sold them.”

It was Jate the next afternoon when
‘this information came through. In the
meantime, the victim's features had been
composed and a similar pair of glasses
placed on her. Photographers had been
called in and had taken her picture.
Newspapers throughout the state repro-
duced the picture in the hopes that some-
one who had ‘known the woman would
see it and recognize her. But so far the
body lay alone and unidentified.

At last the investigation turned up a
manufacturer of optical goods! in a small
Connecticut town, Tle at onee checked
his files and informed police he had sold
the glasses to an optician in Plattsburg.
N. Y. Reached on the telephone, this man
checked his own files. Yes, he stated, he
had sold the glasses some five years
before. He had sold several pairs at the
time, all alike. He had the names and
could check on them at once.

There had been six identical pairs in
all—women’s glasses. Four of those had
been sold to women in his own town who

still lived there. Local police at once were
able to establish that they were still alive
and still wearing the glasses. A fifth pair
had been sold to a woman who had since
moved to California. The sixth pair had
gone to a Miss Rose O’Connell.

The optician had only a vague recol-
lection of the O'Connell girl. She had
been, as he recalled, from some small
town in the vicinity. Not a regular
customer and he couldn't remember what
she had looked like.

It wasn’t much to go on. A check of
Plattsburg and the surrounding territory
failed to produce any Rose O’Connell.
The sheriff’s office of Essex county gave
the best lead.

“There was an O’Connell family here
some years back,” he reported. “I think
there was a daughter named Rose, too.
But she moved away several years
back.”

*WO more days passed and the mys-
tery remained deep. But state police
had not been idle. The largest fragment
from the broken Jens had been sent to a
laboratory in Albany. ‘There scientists
had carefully measured it and with the
aid of delicate instruments were able to
reconstruct an approximate prescriptior
for the original lens,
More than a dozen officers had then
heen assigned to call on every optician in
the northern and central section of New

York state. It was stow work and held
out only the slenderest chances of success.
But at the end of another two days police
got their first real break. It came from
an optician in Watervliet:

“It is quite possible that I filled that
prescription for those lenses. You are
just a trifle off from a prescription I have
on my books. On November twenty-fifth
a woman came to me and said that her
eyes bothered her. I gave her an ex-
amination and then gave her a prescrip-
tion, The new lenses were placed in her
old frames.”

Troopers at once rushed the fragment
of lens and the twisted frames of the dead
woman’s glasses to the optician. He
looked at them for a moment and then
nodded.

“Those are the ones,” he said. “I can
remember them now all right. I made
them for a woman named Patane. She
was married, as I recall.’’ He looked at
his file for a minute and then said, “A
Mrs. Rose Patane, of this city, | have no
street address for her.”

Shown a picture of the dead woman,
the optician didn’t hesitate a minute.
“That's the one, all right.”

“Tt fits,” Inspector Cosart said. “Rose
O’Connell and Rose Patane. She must
have left Essex county and married a
man named Patane. We're beginning to
get somewhere at last.”

“There’s one more thing,” the optician
added. “The woman told me that she

needed the glasses in her work. Said she
worked in a beauty parlor.”

Cosart thanked the man and left. First
he ordered a routine check through the
city in cooperation with city police for
anyone named Patane. Next he assigned
men to cover every beauty parlor and
school within a radius of a hundred
miles.

It was from a beauty shop on North
Pearl street in Albany that the next lead
came. Miss Kay Johnson, an instructor
at the beauty shop school, at once re-

_membered Rose Patane.

“T knew her well,” Miss Johnson said.
“She took a course in our school and

used to drop back here often to have her
own hair done. A nice girl. I remember
now that she told me she had married a
fellow who worked up in Troy. I think
she said he was a truck driver.’ When
shown the picture of the victim which
appeared in the newspaper she compared
it with a group photo of student beauti-
cians and at once picked out the girl.

Within a few hours, Miss Johnson
had positively identified the body. No
sooner had the story hit the newspaper
than police received a telephone call
from Schenectady. A relative of the dead
woman said he had seen the story. He
had some information.

After himself identifying the body, he
turned to Sergt. Manning. “It’s Rose all
right,” he said. “But I can’t understand
it. I never saw a great deal of her, but
I know that she was happily married.
Man by the name of Joe Patane. Joe’s a
truck driver for some outfit in Troy. I
don’t know the address where he works,
but the last time I saw Rose they were
living on Broadway in Watervliet.”

Within an hour police had descended
on the Watervliet address. But they
were doomed to disappointment. The
house was vacant. Quickly they learned
that the Patanes had lived there until
less than two weeks before. And then
they had told neighbors that they were
moving out of the city. They had packed
up suddenly and left.

“Patane had a Ford sedan,” one neigh-
bor said, “about four years old.” A gas
station in the neighborhood had a check
card on the license number. A pick-up
call was at once sent out for the sedan.

The next step in the investigation was
a thorough check of all firms in Troy
which might need the services of a truck
driver. Once more police were involved
in a detailed and time-consuming investi-
gation. But after hours of steady and
persistent work. their efforts paid off.

PRODUCE merchant, reached at
his home late at night, was quick
to give information.

“Patane—sure,” he said. “Joe’s been
with us for some time. He’s a driver.
Makes frequent trips to New York City
and: other points. Good man. But he’s
been taking a lot of time off lately.”

Asked for further information, the
witness remembered that Patane. had
been absent on December 5 and again on
December 9 and 10. “Each time,” he
said, “a girl called up early in the morn-
ing and said Joe was sick. We didn’t pay
much attention to it.”

But police paid plenty of attention, It
was on December 5 or 6, as near as
medical examiners were able to deter-
mine, when Rose Patane had been
brutally murdered !

The produce merchant remembered
one other thing about Patane. His real
name was Mascari and he came from
Canastota—some six miles from the
murder scene.

The firm did not know Patane’s ad-
dress or that he had moved from
Watervliet. But one of the other drivers
had overheard Patane saying that he was
planning on being married, not more than
two weeks before.

Police Chief Lahah of Canastota,
reached on the telephone, at once set out
to collect information on Joe Mascari,
alias Patane.

Quickly the chief learned that Joe had
been married some ten years before. The
couple had separated after a few years
and in 1941 the first Mrs. Patane-
Mascari had finally obtained a divorce.

Inspector Cosart, informed of the
latest developments, quickly checked his
facts. If Patane’s wife had divorced him
in 1941, he could not have been legally

married to Rose O’Connell before then.
And yet he had lived with her as man
and wife for almost four years.

Added to this was the fact that there
were rumors he was about to marry
again, Patane apparently was the marry-
ing type.

The morning of December 17 broke
cold and with the ground covered by a
light fall of snow. It was seven days
since the discovery of the unidentified
body on the lonely road in Madison
county. It was approximately twelve
days since’ Rose O’Connell Patane had
been brutally murdered.

Chief of Police John R. Graunder, ac-
companied by Sergt. Manning and a
detail of state troopers, waited quietly
in the office of the produce company
where Patané was employed.

Suddenly a man entered the office, a
tall, husky man in workman’s clothes. He
wore steel rim glasses and they lent his
face a_ cold, intellectual appearance
which was strangely at odds with his
swarthy complexion and broad athletic
shoulders.

The manager of the firm nodded to him
and spoke. “Joe,” he said, “these men
want to talk with you.”

Patane at once knew they were police
officials, He smiled thinly and waited.
Manning motioned him to a seat and a
trooper stepped quietly behind the chair.

“Patane,’ Manning said, ‘‘where’s
your wife?”

“She’s home where she belongs.”

“Home? Where’s home?”

“Why, in Troy. On Sixth avenue.”

“©, K..” Manning snapped, standing up.
“So she’s home, eh? Well in that case, I
don’t think your boss would mind a great
deal if you took a couple of hours off.
Weill just drop home with you and see.”

For a minute Patane went deathly
pale; and then he stood up and shrugged.

Clue of the Shattered Spectacles

[Continued from page 39]

A half hour later the police car stopped
in front of the Sixth avenue address. It
was a pleasant house in a nice neighbor-
hood.

“We rent rooms here,” Patane e¢x-
plained, leading the way up the walk,

A minute later the officers were con-
fronted by a young woman who frowned
in alarm behind her steel-rimmed glasses.

“kid,” the truck driver said, “tell these
guys who you are.”

maica, New York City (“Midnight
Strangler in the Graveyard,” DAR-
ING DETECTIVE, March, 1943).

For a moment the girl hesitated and
then she spoke quickly.

“I'm his wife—Mrs. Patane. Is there
any law against it?”

“Maybe,” Manning snapped. He ob-
served her closely as he spoke. This girl
couldn’t be more than 22 or 23 and was
shorter and heavier than Rose O'Connell,
She certainly didn’t look anything like
the dead woman and her description
didn’t fit that of the former Mrs. Rose
Patane. Manning stepped close to her.

“How long have you been married?”

“We were married on December ninth.
So what?”

“Plenty. I suppose you know that Joe
here was already married. Where did
your marriage take place?”

“Somewhere in Vermont.”

Suddenly Joe lunged forward, “Shut
up.” he snapped. “Don't say another
word.”

The girl froze up and was silent.

An hour later Joseph Patane was
facing state police and detectives in the
state troopers’ barracks. The current Mrs.
Patane was also being held, It had been
learned that her name was Anna Gelina.
She had worked as a domestic at the
Sixth avenue address in Troy and her
employers had rented rooms to her and
Patane after she had told them that she
was married to him. She had a legal
husband who was separated from her.

“Patane,” Manning said. “You killed
your wife, or the woman you said was
your wife—Rose O’Connell. You beat her
to death, We know. you did it so you
might as well admit it.”

“Til admit nothing.”

“All right, But tell me this. Where
were you on December fifth? We know
that you weren't at work.”

“Right. I was with Anna. We took a
trip to New York City. She'll swear to
it and so will 1.”

“Sure she will,” Manning said, “But
folks in Canastota will swear that you
were over there visiting.”

Patane jumped to his feet and the
blood drained from his face.

“You'd better start talking,” Sergt.
Manning said.

In the meantime other detectives were
questioning the girl.

“J didn’t have a thing to do with it,” she
said. “Nothing at all. There were the
three of us, Joe, Rose and I. We were all
in the car and ‘arguing. And then Rose
and Joe got into a fight. Joe stopped the
car and pulled Rose out of the seat. He
slapped her a couple of times in the car
first. Then, after he pulled her out, he
dragged her by the hair over to the side
of the road and he let her have it.

“You see, he wanted to leave her and
live with mé. He wasn’t really married to
her anyway, even if he says he was. Well,
Joe’s pretty strong so he beat her up
bad. I guess he must have overdone it.
Anyway she passed out and he lost his
head completely. So he took the hammer
and gave her a couple more.”

Confronted by the woman's testimony,
Patane himself cracked. His story was
a variation, however.

“It was an accident,” he said. “I didn’t
mean to kill her. But she started fighting
back and wouldn’t stop. I had to kill her,
I guess,.to protect myself.”

When Manning told him that the girl
said he'd hit his wife with a hammer, Joe
changed his story.

“All right,” he said, “I'll tell everything.
Sure I killed her. And Anna was in on it
too. We talked it over and planned the
whole thing together. She knew I was
going to do it and wanted me to. Anna
even handed me the hammer.”

On December 19, before Justice of the
Peace Ralph Weber of Madison county,
Joseph Patane and Anna Gelina were
charged by the district attorney of
Madison county with first degree murder.
Anna was held on the additional charge
of being a material witness.

The two were arraigned on January 7,
indicted, and held without bail.

FTER the first shock, Philip
Lombardi turned and ran. The
very devil could not have
caught him as he sped across the
mucklands, climbed into his car and
sped away from that horrible, frozen,
half-buried body. .
Philip Lombardi was a farmer who
lived, Winters, in Canastota, New York.
He had come out to the mucklands
this crisp, cold day of December 10,
1942, to look over his onion fields
along Cowaselon Creek and to clear
them of any brush which might have
taken root since the crop had been
harvested the previous Summer, And,
in the frozen slime of the Creek, he
had .seen first the green of the coat,
then the blue of the stark frozen’ face.
And he had run to his car.
He did not drive far. He stopped,
instead, at the nearest inhabited farm,

NY: (Madison)

where he told Lyle Tabor of his grue-
some discovery and where Tabor tele-
phoned to Chief of Police Clark Laha
of Canastota, five miles away.

Less than an hour later, Inspector
John Cosart, Sergeant Charles Man-
ning and Trooper Fred Sargenti of the

New York State Bureau of Criminal

Investigation were following Lombardi
to the banks of the frozen stream.

The mucklands are desolate, barren,
windswept places in Winter. He: could
learn little there, Inspector Cosart
realized..The frozen mud had retained
no footprints, no tire impressions.
Whoever had dumped the woman there
had chosen an ideal spot.

Perhaps, Cosart thought, the killer
was a person familiar with this sec-
tion. How else would he have known
of the barely discernible, dead-end
road which led to this field and which

served no other purpose than to allow
farmers to move their harvest to
market?

But time enough for that later. First
was the problem of identifying the
woman, of learning where and how
she had been killed. Who was she?
How came her body in this forsaken
field? Who had slain her, and why?

“Think she was killed here?” asked
Sergeant Manning.

Cosart leaned over to peer at the
soles of the woman’s shoes.

“Look at those soles,” he said. “Not

a smear of mud or snow on them.
She didn’t walk into this field. She was
brought here in a car, I’d say.”
Cosart wanted to know more about
this woman’s body, about how she had
been killed, how old she had been,
what kind of a character she had in-
dicated through her selection of clothes.
But he would have to wait, he realized,

until the body had been removed. .
Coroner J. David Boyd was coming’

soon, and when he had given his
permission for removal, Cosart could

“The chances are very strong

that a new death penalty bill
will become law. . .':

remain the final total of men and women electrocuted
by the State of New York, or will the next few years
add to that list dozens of new names, and erase his sig-
nificance completely?

Some death penalty opponents can look for consola-

-tion in the scar tissue that the two-decade hiatus in the

killing has formed. “I think that the scar tissue is very
healthy,” says Joel Berger, one of four attorneys at the
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. who
spend a large portion of their time fighting the death
penalty. “It means that most of the people who are go-
ing to be working on this subject, if we do have a death
penalty, are going to be people who are not used to it,
who aren’t jaded. . . I think that means that all those
concerned, prosecutors and judges as well as defense
lawyers, will be somewhat awed by the fact that human

' life-is.at stake in these cases.”

Consolation or no, the chances are very strong that
a new death penalty bill will become law, although no
one really knows yet what kind of bill it would be.

“There’s no reason to assume that, just because
Koch wins the primary, that we are going to fall into
the same league as Florida, Georgia and Texas,”
Berger says. “That’s an important thing to begin think-
ing about: Not just are we going to have some death

“penalty, but, if it comes to that, what kind of death pen-

alty are we going to have?”
Not even the strongest supporters of the death pen-
alty are certain. One of them is State Sen. Dale Volker
(R-Depew), a quiet, likable man whose support for the
death penalty — even his opponents admit — is based
on the deeply held conviction that it is necessary to pre-
vent murders. “I really find it hard to predict,” Volker
says. “I’m not so convinced that Ed Koch is going to be
so easy to deal with. He’li want to put his mark on it. I
don’t-feel comfortable with the idea that everything is
going to be all right next year.” !
Neither do Volker’s ideological opponents, who are
filled with gloom that the whole grim scenario is going
to start again. “Aside from Cuomo, we’re going to have
it,” says Barbara Shack, the legislative director of the
New York Civil Liberties Union. “I dread the thought
of next year.” . ©

matter. He could still be found
guilty of first-degree murder, be-

. cause the shooting happened during.

the commission of a felony. The jury
took 90 minutes to come back with a
conviction. “There was just no doubt
about it,” says Arthur Garson, a
Manhattan garment industry execu-
tive who was one of the jurors.

. There have been memorable occu-
pants of death row, like Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg. Eddie Lee Mays
is not very memorable, however,
even to one of his attorneys. In a
courtroom at 100 Centre St. in Man-
hattan, 20 years ago tomorrow,
Manuel Guerreiro stood and made
the defense summation for Mays.
Since then, Guerreiro has moved on,
first to become a respected Family
Court judge in Manhattan, then to a
law partnership with Jane Gilman in
Middletown, an hour’s drive north-
west of Ossining. Together, they
own the Sheraton Middletown Inn.
Today, Guerreiro can barely remem-
ber Eddie Lee Mays.

“It was another barroom shoot-
ing,” Guerreiro says. “People like
that, they become ciphers, you
know. They do their thing, and jus-
tice inexorably closes in on them.
But I don’t really have any indepen-
dent recollection.” History has little

—_

recollection of the case either, be-
cause almost nothing appeared in

the papers. The newspapers in New

York City then, as now, do not make
a large fuss when a black man shoots
a dark-skinned woman in a bar in
East Harlem, during the course of a
routine stickup.

Even the execution was quiet and
uneventful. Mays declined the ritual
last meal, asking only for two packs
of Pall Mall cigarettes. And when
his time came, he went very quietly.

Clifford Bossert, a Mount Vernon
fireman and substitute teacher sit-
ting among the six witnesses, was
viewing his first execution because
he wanted to “precipitate” his am-
bivalent feelings about the death
penalty.

“He didn’t need any help at all,”
Bossert says. “He just walked right
over and very resignedly sat down,

_almost as if this was the anticlimax

to a long period of waiting.”

The little form in Mays’ prison file
says simply: “Time in: 10:01. Time
out: 10:04.” At 10:10 PM, Dr. H. W.
Kipp performed the routine autop-
sy. Everything was normal, includ-
ing the signature of the electricity
on his body. “There are the usual
seared marks over the nape of the
neck and on the right leg just below

—. you

die.’

the knee,” his autopsy report said.
At age 34, Mays was dead. :

Quiet people who have committed
only one crime in their lives have sat
in that chair. Eddie Lee Mays was
not one of those, either. “He was, in

. my judgment, a classic violent crimi-

nal,” says Schwartz, now back in
private practice after serving as
New York City’s corporation coun-
sel. “I interviewed the other code-
fendants, and they were scared,
terrified, of Eddie Lee Mays...
He was a classic case for capital pun-
ishment, if you were going to go for
that.”

One juror, who asked that his
name not be used, said that some
jurors felt sympathy for Mays be-
cause he was a poor man from a poor
neighborhood. But another juror,

Robert Sour, a music industry ex-
ecutive and one of the lyric writers
of the 1930s torch song, “Body and
Soul,” says: “There were two black
people on the jury. Both of them
thought he should be executed.”
And his record of a previous man-
slaughter didn’t help, as the jury
weighed whether to make a recom-
mendation of life imprisonment or
let Mays be executed. “He shouldn’t
be given so many chances,” Sour
says. “Enough is enough.”

No one claimed his body, he was
buried by the state, and no one took
much note of his death. But ulti-
mately, what is important about Ed-
die Lee Mays is not the number of
mourners at his burial, not his life-
style, not his character. What really
counts is his number: 695. Will that

death row if he couldn’t, waiting for
night to fall. His last visit with his
relatives was in the evening, about
two hours before the execution.
Zimmerman got well into the rou-
tine of that last day before he was
pulled back from death. He didn’t
get to walk the 40-foot hallway, sit
in the chair, watch as the sergeants
strapped his arms and legs, feel the
cold drip of the water from the
sponge on the head electrode, watch
darkness fall as the leather mask
went over his face. He never
learned what only the dead know —
whether the electric chair hurts.
“They never felt anything; I don’t
think that they knew what hit

think that’s the real punishment.”

* * *

Innocent men have come within
hours of dying in the electric chair.
Other innocent men, death penalty
opponents argue, have sat in the
chair and died. Eddie Lee Mays
would not be on either list.

The evidence is very convincing
that, at about 3:45 AM on March 23,
1961, Mays and two accomplices
pushed their way into the Friendly
Bar and Grill on Fifth Avenue in
East Harlem. There is also no doubt

‘that, while he was ordering custom-

ers to empty their purses and wal-
lets, Mays fired a shot that killed

Maria Marini, 31, a dark-skinned -

young woman whose friends called
her Pearl.

The two men who entered the bar
with him pled guilty and were sen-

tenced to life imprisonment. (One |

was paroled in 1976, after the sen-
tencing laws were changed, and is
now managing a plant in the Bronx.
The other was paroled in 1977 and
died of brain cancer a year later.) A
younger accomplice who acted as
lookout drew'a reformatory term.
The lawyers for Mays finally suc-
ceeded in persuading Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Vincent J. Dermody
to let Mays plead guilty to second-
degree murder. But Mays, who had
been in and out of prison on a vari-

_ ety of charges, from disorderly con-

duct to manslaughter, in the two
decades since he left his home in ru-
ral Walstonburg, N. C., told his law-
yers he’d “rather fry’ than go to
prison for life.

The trial was expeditious, nine
days in all. The evidence was unas-

sailable: A bullet from Marini’s skull

matched a bullet fired from the gun
Mays carried when he was arrested.
Several customers identified Mays.
And there was the transcript of his
admission of guilt to Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Allen G. Schwartz,
even though Mays futilely denied at
the trial that he had made it. Mays
insisted to Schwartz that the shoot-
ing was accidental, but that didn’t

Cross examincd by Mr, Holden—
Dox coutaina ell the stot I tookout of
the body; dow’t know that any body else
took any shioé ont; wounds in body
called for sizes of shot like these; have
not examined the shot in the box—but
think there are two sizes of shot ; same
sized that might meke two different
sized wounue; 2 bullet might be divid-
oi in entering the body, a sharp bono
migbt ont it—and a smooth one flatten
it; there is one piece ia the box that
looks like a piece of shot—(the witness
showed somothing taken from. lung
locking like gravel) —‘‘Doesn’t it look
like a piece of bution ?” It might be;
all shot would not strike the body with
equal force and that might effect the
appearances of the wounds on the out-
side of the body, and going through
the window it would retard the shot
andi seatter them; some shot were
found in the clothes, wo found one
shot on the floor that dropped in the
northwest corner, we fonnd a mark on
the calendar on the post which looked
like a perforation, that is tho only
mark we found in the room. Measured
the distance the shot scattered, it was
13 incbes by 14 inches on the body, no
measurement was taken to sce how
high up they would be from the floor.
nor how far from his bead; one shot
went into bia eye; from that to the
lowest was 13 or 14 inches ; the princi-
pal number of marks were below the
centre ; from the mark on the eye to
top of the head was 3 or four inches ;
counted about 60 shot marks, or 59 ;
counted that evening ; of these should
think 10 were on the head, some in the
whiskers ; did not see many on neck ;
think there was one; the rest are on
the chest ; on the right arm 4 or 5, and
one on the point of the left shoulder ;
examined carefully for marks on the
back, west side and overhead of the
room ; was satisfied there was none ;
can’t tell who went through the exam-
ination with me; several were in
there ; the calondar waa on the sido
of the post ; the post is threo or four
inches wide; could not tell which

it was 6 fect from floor; the room is
abont 7 feet high.

Direct resumed :--Tho lighter of
these shot, 1 (unnd them in the mus-
cles, the heavier found in the chest, a
shot passed through the sternum ;

Dr. E. 8. Lymean—sworn, hays: live
in Shorburoe; am physician of 40 sears
practice ; know J. M. Hatch; was at
his house Decomber 3; fonod his
body; found him jJying on the floor;
on bis right sids, head bent over ; his
arms as Brown has described ; blood
on his face and his- clothes ; saw small
wound over ths eyo and in ohin and
whiskers ; he wan rigid; reached there
between Tand8r, a3; found Hateh
dead ; removed the clothes fo find
causs amd found cheat covered with
holes ; abs ut 60 marks of shot in his
cheat ; there were 2 or 3 different sizes
of wounds ; some bruises jast punctur-
ed the skin ; fook a probe and found
that the wounds did not pass into chest;
stopped probing; thought that the
wound in the eye had penetrated the
head but it had pot; made
no post mortem but straightened
bis body and went home; while at the
bouss discovered an hour difference in
the time; Hatch’s clock was faster
than mine about one hour; (photograph
of H’s wounded body shown witness
and identified as a very correct, photo-
graph taken aitex the post mortem,)
Next day weut to house and made
autopsy; Obharlea Easton went with
me; wo made an incision from the
veck to stomach and found under the
skin some blood, the right side more
bruised than the left; after taking the
skin off found holes penetrated the
chest; then removed breast. bone and
found on surface of the right jung
much blood and considerably lacera.
ted ; the left lung was perforated, one
hole went through the lang and made
@ mark on the rib on opposite side ; in
the right side fouad two or three quarts
of blood; removed the lungs aud
blood and found sbot as I went along
in the muscles but few ;on removing
the blood and coming to the heart
found a hole completely through the
right auricle of the hearé; found a
bruise on the ventricle of the heart, as
the shot penetrated through the right
lang; found in the cavity of
the chest three shot, good sized;
found differont sized wounds ; the shot
in the cavity of the breast were the
largest size; L found (Here witness
produced the shot, which he took ont

vf the body and sealed up at the time; |

shot was bruised ; they were shown to
the jury) ‘There were 3 different sizes
of Holes 1n the skin 3; don’t think there
was any hole on skin corresponding to
the holo in heart; no. shot passed
through the body ; cause of his death
was the wound iv the right auricle of
tho heart, it was necessarily fatal ; did
not try to find allthe shot ; the wound

| in the lungs were et necessarily futal ;

the chances againet them, one might
live a few minutes with this wound in
the beart; saw no _ indications
of disease in the body  theas
wounds must have been inflicted
in life.

called for sizes of shot like these; have
not examined the shot in the box—but

sized that might make two different

pulled the shirt up and saw gun shot
wounds all over his breast, saw nothing
peculiar about them: some of the hoijes

the lantern setting on the cvair:
there were other lauterns in the house;
it was about 6 o'clock when I got

and the first I could distinguish was
“Morris Hatch” repeating it; and the
jast words I heard bor eay was ‘'O my

ply; called H's name, but it was all
still; stepped to the window, saw it

there; I told ; sue said ‘oh ha” and
unfastened the door and let mo in;
asked what was the matter oyerto H’s.;
found MceVann aud his little daughter
at MoO’s they were doing nothing, but
McCann sat sat near the door smoking
his ¢. 20; the little girl stood near the
door; they did not seem employed ;
asked what the trouble was at H’s Mrs.
McO, said she had been frightened all
the afteruoon, there had been firing at
H's.‘ thoy had shot. their rooster ;
end she expected to be shot ; McUann
rose up, took hia chair, sat down by
me and commenced talking ; ssid he’d
been over to H.’s to cover up the corn
that H. had scattered to troll his bens;
it did not do any goodas H. would put
more; asked again why they cried
murder at H.’s; then I left and went

home; they gave no answer ;
did not - state what I baa
seen at H.’s; no reply was

made to my questions; went home;
saw no oue; told my wife what [saw
at A’s, and that I should think him
dead; then I went down again to H’s;
just tuen Mr. Hustead and wife cume
and went into the house; 1 was there;
asked Mrs. H, what the trouble was;
she said ‘‘come and see;” saw H. ly-
ing dead; and she said ‘MoO did it;”
went and took lantern and looked him
over; blood was on face and bosom; felt
of his pulse, think there was none ;
then Churoh came ; talked about get-
ting a coroner; sat down there in chair
and after awhile went home; it was
about a 4 hour from time I heard
ghooting before I got in ; remained in
bouse about one hour ; came again in
} hour ; remained till coroner Lymaao
came and was looking forthe jary; came
again a third time for 15 or 20 minutes;
saw Mrs, H. at those three visits ; she
wasin the kitchen where H. was;
some time she was in pantry, did not
see any one handle fire arms
nox sew any firearms while there ; from
time I heard shot till I got to H’s.
house it was about 10 or 15 minutes ;
it might not have been 15; from time
I board shot till [ got to MoO’s, it was
about 15 minutes or over; the time I
heard the shooting was 10 or 15 min.
utes after five; it was light enough
to distinguish a person beyond McO’s. ;
could have known a person some 6 or
Trods; it was a very still evening ;
had to pull my boots on befcre I went
out, and went down to H’s, at a com-
mon gait; went straight down.

Cross-cxamined :-—Witness says :
Tbe room hada window towards tho

Cross examined by Mr, Tlolden—
Box containa pil the shot I took out of
the body; dou’t know that any body else
took any shos oul; wounds in body
called for sizes of shot like these; have
not examined the shot in the box—bat
think there are two sizes of shot ; same
sized that might meke two different
sized wounds; a bullet might be divid-
ei in entering tho body, # sharp bone
might out it—and « smooth one flatten
it; there is one piece ia the box that
looks like a pieces of shot—(the witness
showed something taken from lung
looking like grave))—‘*Doesn’t it look
like a piece of bution ?” It might be;
all shot would not strike the body with
equal force and tbat might effect the
appearances of the wonnds cn the out-
side of the body, and going through
the window it wonld retard the shot
and soatter them; some saot were
foundin the olotbes, wo found one
shot on the floor that dropped in the
northwest corner, we fonnd a mark on
the calendar on the post which looked
like o perforation, that is tho only
mark we found in the room. Measured
the distance the shot scattered, it was
13 incbes by 14 inches on the body, no
measurement was taken to sce how
high up they would be from the floor.
por how far from his head; one shot
wont into hia eya; from that to the
lowest was 13 or 14 inches ; the princi-
pal number of marks were below the
centre ; from the mark on the eye to
top of the head was 3 or tour inches ;
counted about 60 shot marks, or 59 ;
counted that evening ; of these should
think 10 were on the head, some 1n the

-whiskers ; did not s9e many on neck ;

think there was ore; the rest are on
the chest ; on the right arm 4 or 5, and
one on the point of the left shoulder ;
examined carefully for marks on the
back, west side and overhead of the
room ; was'ratisied there was none ;
can’> tell who went through the o,am-
ination witb me; several were in
there ; the calendar was on the sido
of the post ; the post is three or four
inches wide; could not tel} which
side of calendar was struck and think

these lacked significance, since all the data
concerning the car so far, had been. as-
sembled. But there was plenty of oppor-
tunity for additional operations in the mat-
ter of the deadly pistol.

First, this was turned over to the ballistic
experts. Using the bullets that had been
recovered from Frank’s body, these had no
difficulty in establishing the fact that the
Spanish weapon had been the murder gun.

I THE WEAPON had been of American
manufacture, the next step would have
been easy—relatively—since all manufac-
turers are required to maintain a list of
serial numbers. With such a list it is not
difficult for police to trace distribution
down to the last retailer—with an oppor-
tunity in most states and communities of
finding the name of the purchaser.

This could not be done, however, in the
case of the Spanish pistol, except through
luck. Such weapons are imported by
wholesalers who keep definite records.
Many of them, since the revolution in
Spain, are smuggled into this country—
constituting another difficult problem for
the authorities.

While routine efforts were made to trace
the gun by notifying all reputable whole-
salers that the pistol had been found, Cap-
tain Sullivan turned to another vital
weapon in the arsenal which police bring to
bear upon wanted criminals—publicity!

Through the reporters at Brooklyn Po-
lice Headquarters, a news item of the find-
ing of the gun and license plates was sent
out, published by the New York and Brook-
lyn newspapers, arousing new interest in
the crime, causing additional discussion,
possibly—so the police always hope—bring-
ing forward new evidence.

In this instance the response was favor-
able.

Hardly had the announcement story ap-
peared, than a voice on the telephone asked
for Captain Sullivan.

“T think I’ve got something new for you
on the Frank case,” the caller explained.

“That's fine,” said Captain Sullivan geni-
ally. “Come on down or, if you wish, I'll
send a car to pick you up.”

“No,” said the man nervously.
coming down.”

“T am

“pase TO HIS worD the man, whose name
never has been officially revealed, ap-
peared a few moments afterwards.

“T read about your finding those plates
and the gun,” he said. “I thought maybe I
ought to come down and tell you what I
know. Maybe it'll help; maybe it won't.”

“What is it, Mr. ?” asked Cap-
tain Sullivan.

“Well, it’s like this. About two days
before this fellow Frank was killed, two
young fellows came to my place. I’ve got
a sign out in front saying that I give spe-
cial attention to radios. They wanted the
radio in their car fixed. I did the job for
them.

“While I was working on the radio,
though, I heard them talking. They were
speaking like they didn’t want me to hear
what they said, but I did hear them men-
tion something about a poultry-dealer
whose shop was on Blake Avenue. That
is where Frank had his shop, according to
the newspapers.

“I didn’t let on that I was paying any
attention, and just before they left, I heard
one of them say to the other: ‘That guy
Frank thinks he’s wise. Just because he
takes out a pistol permit, he thinks he can
carry his dough around with him.’ I didn’t
hear anything more after that, but I think
those are the fellows who went over and
bumped off Frank. I know their car had
the number on it that you fellows caught.”

Captain Sullivan looked at him sternly.

Why didn’t you come out with all this
before?” he demanded.

But he got the glib answer:

“T was afraid I might get into trouble.
You know how those things are.”

“Well, if that’s the case, how is it that
you come out with it now ?” ’

The informant shrugged his shoulders.

“Maybe it’s conscience. I hate to think
of those two thugs being free after killing
that old fellow.”

“Tell me—what did the men look like?”

The man frowned.

“Well, to tell you the truth, Captain, I
didn’t get a good look at them.”

sv JitH THIs, Captain Sullivan terminated

the interview, thanking him for com-
ing in, As he went out the detective head
whispered the brisk order:

“Have that man tailed—keep a watch on
him !”

From that moment on, the mysterious
informant’s small automobile supply store
was under close surveillance. So skillfully
that he was never aware of it, wherever
he went, a police “shadow” was on his
heels, watching his contacts and connec-
tions.

To Detective Senft had fallen the assign-
ment of trailing him. After three days he
reported that the man was friendly with
two other men who he thought would bear
investigation.

“They don’t answer the descriptions. of
the wanted men,” said Senft. “But they
are nervous, jumpy, look like had actors to
me. About two hours ago our man and
these two pals went to a telegraph office.
I found out that one of his friends—the
oldest of the two—sent twenty-five dollars
by wire to a James Fitzgerald at a hotel
in Detroit.”

“Good work,” said Captain Sullivan, pre-
paring a message for the Detroit authori-
ties, asking them to look up Fitzgerald.

When a police case “breaks,” it usually
crashes suddenly. Sometimes there are
coincidences that would be unbelievable in
fiction, actual in real police life. With the
dispatch blank on his desk, his pencil draft-
ing his message, Sullivan was interrupted
by a knock.

“Come in!” he ordered.

A police orderly entered with a telegram.
Taking one look at it Sullivan smiled
broadly. It was as though the Chief of
Police of Detroit had read his mind, had
answered his inquiry telepathically, and in
advance. This dispatch from Detroit in-
quired if the Brooklyn authorities had any
interest in a Jack Sherwood, alias Bill
Blank, being held in the Michigan city on
the charge of possessing a machine gun.

ULLIVAN NoTiFiEp the district attorney’s

office, sent a confidential message to the
Detroit police, asking them to check any
connection between Fitzgerald and Sher-
wood or Blank.

While he was awaiting a reply, word
came that a stranger wanted to see him in
the outer office.

“I’m Bill Blank,” the personable young
man introduced himself.

Sullivan had difficulty restraining a show
of surprise.

“Yes,” he said tersely, waiting.
The young man grinned.

“You mean about the Frank murder?”

“Yes, sir. I’ve been out of Brooklyn
since last year, working down in Florida.
I read where my name and address were
used by the murderers. I couldn’t come
back before because I couldn’t afford to
lose the time. I got two weeks off the other
day, and decided I would come here and
clean things up.”

RETTY, nine-year-old Einer Sporrer romped gleefully

out of her home at 266 Irving Avenue in Brooklyn, New

York. It was a Catholic feast day and the child was

being given a holiday from the parochial school which
she attended. At first there was some doubt as to whether
her mother would permit her to leave the house since the
skies were leaden with the threat of rain. The time was
9:30 o'clock on the morning of March 19th, 1937.

Her play was interrupted by Salvatore Ossido, a fat,
greasy-faced barber who owned a shop at 239 Irving Avenue,
a short way down the street.

There was a brief conversation and the child, her sus-
picions lulled by the fact that she had seen this man in the
neighborhood several times, accompanied him on a_ short
walk.

The twenty-six-year-old barber lured her into the back
room of his shop where he smashed her with his pudgy fists,
raped her. His bloody. hands circled her throat, squeezing
until the last breath of life had left the pitiful, broken body.

Twelve hours later Ossido stuffed his victim’s body into a
burlap sack, flung it over his shoulder and stepped out into
the night. He deposited his burden on a stoop at 313 Linden
Street, then returned home. .

It was discovered there the following morning. Ninety

minutes later the city-wide manhunt, un-
' leashed by Police Commissioner Lewis J.
Valentine, resulted in the arrest of Ossido.
At Police Headquarters he broke down and
confessed. ;

He explained the reason he kept her bod
in the back room of his barber shop so long.
“It took a long time because I got inter-
rupted so much, people wanted their hair
cut, wanted shaves. In between shaves I
got the burlap bag.”

Subsequently, Ossido was found sane, convicted and sen-
tenced to death in the electric chair.

Surprisingly enough, it was not the murder of the child.
appalling as it was, which shocked the public conscience
as much as it was the fact that there is in America a smal]
section of its citizens wandering the streets who are Sex
fiends, potential murderers from whom no child is safe.

“Do you know —————?”

“No, sir. Never heard of him.”

“How do you account for the fact that
your license registration and name were
used ?”

Blank had an answer ready.

“That can be easily explained. Just be-
fore I left the rooming house, I lost my
Social Security card and other papers.
That’s the only way I can understand how
it happened.”

A few hours later, two detectives and
Assistant District Attorney Josephs were in
Detroit.

Prrzceaato, ALIAS BLANK, in the mean-

time, had been identified as Sidney
Markman, a former member of the “Pur-
ple Gang,” a once powerful Detroit mob-
ster group.

“He used Fitzgerald as an alias when we
pinched him in the hotel,” said Captain
Cook of the Detroit police. “We found a
registration card with the name Bill Blank
on it. I'd read your broadcast for a man
named Blank in the Frank murder. That’s
why we wired you.” _.

Markman, a sullen youth, was brought
in, sneering.

“What do you think you’ve got on me
now ?” he jeered.

Josephs looked at him sternly.

“Listen, Markman,” he said. “Your pals
back home spilled everything. They’re
tired of sending you money. They said if
you’re fool enough to kill a man, and not
pick up his dough, they are not going to
look after you. So you’re coming back.
We're going to burn you sure. We've got
plenty of witnesses, with your pals turning
you up.” :

Josephs opened a bag and produced a
felt hat. It fitted the prisoner perfectly.

Markman cursed and swore, finally gave
in.

“Well, they’re going to save their hides,”
said Josephs significantly, encouraging the
break that he saw coming.

“So Goldberg ratted on me, did he?” he
demanded. “Wait till I see the little ——
. By God I'll kill him. I knew he
couldn’t keep his yellow trap shut.”

In a little while the visiting Brooklyn
authorities had the full story—all the de-
tails of the camouflage that two keen
brains, aided by a third, had erected to
make a “bullet-proof” cover against their
activities,

David Goldberg had been employed in
the automobile supply store of the chief in-
formant. Goldberg had left the day before
the murder. By his own admission, the

WITH THE G-MEN

He therefore soaked the fingers in a
twenty per cent solution of glycerin to
soften them. After that had been done he
placed a rubber glove on his own right
hand and stretched the fingers to’be printed
over his gloved hand. The fingers were
then inked and rolled and a clear set of
prints were obtained.

Photographic copies of the finger im-
pressions of the right hand were for-
warded immediately to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and were received in the
Identification Division of this Bureau on
October 11, 1939.

The files of the Identification Division
of the FBI contain more than 12 million
sets of fingerprints, filed according to a
classification formula based on the impres-
sions of ten fingers. It is therefore readily
appreciated that wliere only five finger im-
pressions are available for search, a serious
problem arises.

In cases of this kind, the fingerprint ex-

92

supply store owner had lied about the two
strange men, While Markman was being
questioned in Detroit, Captain Sullivan ar-
rested him, his two companions, and Gold-
berg himself. ;

Markman explained everything. He had
stolen Blank’s security card and had ob-
tained a driver’s license, using Blank’s
name and address. Buying a $75 “hot”
Buick, as an extra, Markman had obtained
a beautifully-made, forged registration cer-
tificate.

Goldberg eventually confirmed the story,
adding details of the plot to rob Frank. As
for the actual killing, each blamed it on the
other.

On January 9, 1939, almost a year after
the murder, Goldberg and Markman went
on trial for their lives before County Judge
Peter J. Brancato, with the automobile sup-
plyman and his. two friends testifying for
the State.

Nine days later a Brooklyn jury found
them guilty, and they were sentenced to
die in the electric chair. One of their
friends, Charles Duke, was indicted as an
accessory after the fact (of murder),
pleaded guilty and was given a one-to-five
year sentence.

Under the law every condemned man is
provided an opportunity to appeal, regard-
less of whether he has funds. Consequent-
ly, lawyers for the two carried their case
to the New York Court of Appeals, which
passes on the findings of the lower courts
in murder cases.

Strangely, the Court found no flaws in
the conviction and death sentence passed
upon Markman. But Goldberg, it decided,
had been found guilty on altogether a dif-
ferent type of evidence—so insufficient, in
fact, as to warrant a reversal.

As a result, Markman was again sen-
tenced to die; this time on the night. of
January 18, 1940.

Goldberg, on the other hand, was re-
turned from the Sing Sing Prison death
house, where he had spent several months
and listened to a dozen condemned men
toddle along to their doom, to the Raymond
Street Jail, in Brooklyn, to await a new
trial, e is expected to have learned his
fate by the time this is in print.

Meanwhile, a week before the date set
for Markman’s execution, another accused
killer, Ralph (“Red”) Rabinor, twenty-
three, of 609 Chester Street, Brooklyn,
sought to obtain a stay of Markman’s elec-
trocution so he could appear as a witness
at his (Rabinor’s) forthcoming trial.

Rabinor was accused of the cold-blooded
murder of Irving Weiss, twenty, shot down

pert who classifies the prints must hazard
a guess as to what the classification of the
five missing fingers might be. And that
is what happened in this case. The FBI
expert gave an “approximate classification”
on the impressions submitted and it proved
to be exactly correct.

Although searches of the criminal and
personal identification files of this Bureau
proved fruitless, an identification was ef-
fected in the Government File and the un-

‘known hand found on a river bank cde

to be the hand of Paul R. S. Bell, a
Civil Service applicant.

Bell, a Negro, twenty-three years of age,
residing at 25 Frederick Street, Belleville,
New Jersey, applied for a position with
the Federal Government through the Civil
Service Commission of that City on March
25, 1929. In conjunction with his applica-
tion and in accordance with the regular
procedure, his fingerprints were recorded
and forwarded to the Federal Bureau of

egro

and killed at the doorway of a Brooklyn
Stattonery store while he was on his way
to: keep a “blind date” with a girl.

Weiss had intended entering the store to
purchase a package of cigarettes. As he
neared the door three gunmen were fleeing
after holding up the proprietor. Without
warning, one, identified as Rabinor, pulled
his gun and fired point blank, the bullet
striking the young victim in the stomach.

One of his partners in this crime, which
occurred on January 2, 1937, a year before
the murder of Frank, was Markman, ac-
cording to police.

Rabinor and Markman had also been sus-
pected of the murder of Fireman Thomas
Hitter, in Mineola, Long Island, on Octo-
ber 31, 1938, but evidence was insufficient
to convict them.

However, Rabinor had been arrested
after Markman fled to the Middlewest, and
had been sent to Sing Sing to serve fifteen
to thirty years for the theft of the automo-
bile used by the killers in their getaway
after shooting down the inoffensive fire-
man,

After Rabinor had been positively iden-
tified in the slaying of young Weiss, and
returned from prison to stand trial for first-
degree murder, his lawyer appealed to Gov-
ernor Herbert H. Lehman to grant the stay
of Markman’s execution so the condemned
killer could testify in his client’s defense.

Governor Lehman apparently believed
Prosecutor William F. X. Geoghan’s con-
tention that this was but a ruse to sidestep
justice in the cases of both, and refused a
further stay.

And Markman paid for his red-handed
folly on schedule!

Rabinor, in the meantime, was convicted:

of second-degree murder in the killing of
Weiss a few days after his pal, Markman,
sat in the “hot seat.” He was taken back
to his cell to await sentence.

A few hours later two guards, on their
early morning rounds, were shocked to
see a body hanging from a makeshift
noose in Cell No. 11, on the fifth tier of
the ancient, oft-criticized jail.

Rabinor, like all the human rats of his ilk,
couldn’t take it! He had hanged himself
with strips of a bedsheet and his own neck-
tie.

So, even though the killers mentioned in
this fact story relied on camouflage—cam-
ouflaging their names, car license plates,
registrations and actual lives by every de-
vice known to the modern criminal, they
found themselves unequal to cope with the
team play of New York City’s great police
machine.

The Highland Park Police Department
was notified of a positive identification in
this case in less than 24 hours from the

One of her statements shook the
courtroom like a detonator.

“On the night of November 28 (a
week before’ the murder) we were
parked on @ road outside of Troy
when he asked me to marry him but
I pointed out that since we were both
married the only way out was to -
continue as we were.”

Again she related the story of the
slaying, rehearsing, step by step, the
events leading up to, and through,
the murder which she witnessed
from the back seat of a parked car.
To Conley’s question: “Were you
or were you not married in Vermont
—or anywhere else—to this defend-
ant?” she replied: ‘‘No.”

On the 11th day of the trial, Mas-
cari, himself, took the stand, the
solitary witness in his own behalf.
His testimony was sensational.
Quickly he repudiated his state-
ment admitting guilt. i

“Tt was Anna who murdered Rose,”
he said. “Up until now I’ve been
shielding her.”

Conley blasted his story to bits.
“SJow many times did she hit Rose

road just beyond Boca Raton which
led to a wooded section near the in-
tercoastal canal. At this point the
car became mired in the: wet sands.

Both girls had tried to help him
pull the car out, one pushing while
the other tok the wheel. It was in
vain.

“I want you girls to keep. your
mouths shut. And no funny stuff,”
Jefferson growled. Then he taped
their hands as a precaution.

From this point on, there was
nothing to do but to walk.

And walk they did, all that night,
up and down the deserted beach and
through miniature jungle that cut

quitoes were a scourge in them-
selves. The girls began to despair of
their lives.

Moe night both girls were
tied to a tree. In that manner
they had watched the rising dawn.

appeared with the Dunn girl. Not

"When he registered at a local
hotel, the man seemed. totally un-
impressed by the fact that everyone
in the state of Florida was on the
lookout for him: Perhaps that ac-
counted for his amazing luck. At any
rate, he sauntered calmly into the

“J don’t know,” Mascari answered.

“Which side of the head was Rose

“I don’t know.” _e

“Did you dispose of the body?”

“I don’t remember.”

In his final argument to’ the jury,
Conley assailed Mascari’s story a3
a “cheap, last-minute effort to es-
cape a deserved doom by laying the
guilt on a woman who, had she been
a party to the murder, would have
been duly indicted and brought to
trial instead of appearing here as a
witness-for the State.”

The jury heard the argument with
ominous calm, retired to consider the
evidence, returned in nine hours with

-g verdict of guilty. On April 2, Judge

Coon, a8 prescribed by law, sen-

“Wednesday morning he : talked
over their difficulties with his cap-
tive.

“{ don’t know why I don’t kill
you,” he said, casually enough. “I
confess I’m in a spot. I’m broke. And
I need transportation, desperately.”

Finally a solution popped into his
sordid mind. Why hadn't he thought
of it before? Jean’ would call her
ynother and instruct her to drive to
Boca Raton immediately. Of course,
he would advise Jean to caution her

“mother that, in the interests of her
daughter’s well-being, it would be
wise to say nothing to the police.
She must bring money. And she was
to drive out in her own car..
_ But there was to be a joker in this
arrangement. When Mrs. Bolton ar-
rived, she would soon discover it. As
he explained the proposition to Jean,
it was to be a tit-for-tat deal. Mrs.
Bolton would drive him east and to
safety, whereupon he would release
Jean. At least, so she would be led. to
believe. Once Mrs. Bolton had con-
sented to this proposition, he would
annex her money and her-car, carry
Jean as hostage and flee west.

All of which explains Jean’s agi-
tated presence in the Boca Raton
fire station. Together the two had
approached several homes, Jefferson
waiting out of sight while Jean Bol-
ton rapped on the doors. She had
tried five houses, but with the same
result. No telephone. Still sure that
his luck would hold out, he suggest-
ed the fire station, knowing, of

course, that there would certainly

be a telephone. ve
Jean, true to her promise, . had

tried to reach her mother. This fail-

ing, she had decided to get in touch
with her aunt. ;
Jean’s story completed, police and
detectives went to work. After ob-
taining from the girl a rough idea
of where the car had been aban-
doned, they set out. Jean was sitting

on the floor, resisting all attempts to ~

get her up,’ when they left—such :

state police investigator he lived in town during the winter months.

“I needed some wood for my stove,” he said. “This morning I took
my truck down to the farm to get some. The house is just across the
road from the creek. I had finished chopping and was throwing the
left-over brush into the water when I saw that woman. She was
sprawled at the bottom of the bank with her head almost in the water.
I looked around and saw what appeared to be blood in the road.” \ :

with a weakness for a variety of women is
“led from court after admitting hammer slay-
“ing of the one flame who refused to free him.

”

S gt. Charles J. Manning leaned forward to study the corpse
on the morgue slab. Frozen like the ground on which it had
lain, the body was still in the same position as when it was
found. One arm was extended as though she were reaching
for something. A leg was twisted up under her back. Con-
gealed blood covered her battered face and matted the hair.
Her eyes were open and icy. _

“Anybody know who she is?” Manning asked. |

Madison County Coroner J. D. Boyd shook his head. “No
identification,” the doctor said. “A truck farmer found her
at Cowasselon Creek outside Oniontown. She has been dead
about three days.”

>

Oniontown gets its name from the $1,000,000 vegetable
crop produced from the rich loam of muckland near Canas-
tota in upper New York State.

Sergeant Manning, ace investigator for State Troop D, had
been summoned from the barracks at Oneida. He asked
about the possibility of hit-run or accidental death.

“No woman would be alone in that desolate section in
December weather,” Dr. Boyd told him. “Somebody gave
this one a terrible beating and dumped her there. Multiple
skull fractures caused her death. She is between 35 and 40
years old.”

The farmer who had made the grim discovery told the

office, checked the man’s background
thoroughly.

He learned that Weisheit lived on tiny
Smith Island in the Fox River near
Oswego. In fact, the Weisheit home is the
only house there. Questioning people in
the area disclosed that William Weisheit
was Vera’s second husband and that she
had a 19-year-old son, Wilbur Hilliard, by
the former marriage who spent a lot of
time on the isolated island. Mrs. Weisheit’s
brother, Walter M. Chase, 29, and her
uncle, Hampton Thrienens, 44, who lived
in nearby East Pleasant Plain, Iowa,
stayed over-night at the Weisheit house
frequently.

Working on the theory that two men
staged the actual stickups while others
aided in the Ectaways, FBI agents were
interested in this family setup. The young-
est, Wilbur Hilliard, was 19. He was short,
sandy haired and slim. That answered the
description of one of the bandits,

William Weisheit was 28. He was dark
haired, but not much taller than Hilliard.
Walter Chase, Mrs. Weisheit’s brother was
29, dark haired, stocky and taller. He
fitted the description of the older gunman
better.

Figuring the youngest member of the
family would be most likely to talk, the
FBI took Wilbur Hilliard into custody
Thursday night, August 28, in an Oswego
tavern. He offered no resistance and the
arresting officers noted a winged head
tattoo on the youth’s right arm, Beneath
it were the words, “Death before dis-
honor.”

The amount of cash, $188, found on the
jobless youth interested the FBI men
more. Sheriff Albertson and Captain
Murphy aided in the interrogation.

At first Hilliard disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the western Illinois bank robber-
ies, But, according to authorities, contin-
ued questioning finally drew from him a
statement in which he admitted he was
the younger man in the Joy, Nauvoo and
Viola jobs.

“My uncle, Walter Chase, was the other
man,” he was quoted by police as saying.
“I wasn’t in on the Reynolds stickup. My
uncle pulled that one alone.”

The youth’s statement, the authorities
said, bore out their theories about the
small town bank robberies. The men had
used two cars on each occasion. They had

driven to the bank and ditched it after the
getaway.

“We cased those banks thoroughly,”

lice quoted Hilliard as saying. “We

new every move we would make. That’s
how we got in and out so fast. We never
intended to kill anybody and we didn’t.”

When asked about the stolen money, the
police say the youth told them most of it
had been spent as they went along. “But
we buried part of the Viola loot in a corn-
field,” they quoted him as adding. “I'll
take you to it.”

The uncle, Walter Chase, was arrested
by FBI agents in his Aurora home Friday,
the day after Hilliard made his statement.

Told that his nephew had made a com-
plete statement, Chase, according to
authorities, admitted his part in the Joy,
Nauvoo and Viola stickups. He also said
he was the lone bandit who tried unsuc-
cessfully to rob the Reynolds bank.

Charged with violation of the federal
bank robbery statute, Chase’s bond was
set at $20,000 and he was held for a hearing
before United States Commissioner C. S.

e.

After telling police he had also left a
suede jacket and silver plated revolver in
the cornfield where the money was buried,
Hilliard led a group of officers and news-
men to the area a mile and a half north-
east of Aledo.

“There should be about $1,300 in there,”
he is quoted as saying. “It’s half of the last
job we pulled.”

Aided by flashlights and powerful TV
apparatus, police searched the cornfield
row by row while Hilliard waited in a car.
All they found was a cigaret butt at a
trampled down spot in some weeds where
someone probably had slept.

“My uncle and myself stayed there part
of Tuesday night until we thought we
heard someone coming,” Hilliard told
Special Agent Gibbons.

Neither the buried money, the suede
jacket nor the silver plated revolver were
found.

Questioned about this, Gibbons ex-
plained, “Several things could have hap-
pened. An accomplice could have picked
it up or even someone not connected with
the robberies could have found it.”

Newsmen realized there could be other
answers to the missing money. Hilliard

might have been mistaken about the exact
spot where it was buried or he could have
been covering up for someone else in-
volved and who still had the loot. What-
ever the reason, the cash was not found
even after a daylight search the following
morning.

William Weisheit, and his wife, Vera,
and her uncle, Hampton Thrienens were
questioned at length in an effort to de-
termine who might have driven the
robbery getaway cars. Several shotguns
and $600 cash were found in the Weisheit
home on Smith Island.

Special Agent Gibbons announced the
roundup of the two accused bank robbers
had also cleared up a 1957 bank job at
Chestnut, Ill., a Chicago suburb.

“Formal complaints have been filed be-
fore U. S. Commissioner W. D. Chittenden
at Springfield against Chase and Hilliard,”
Gibbons stated. “They are charged with
the $2,964 Chestnut bank robbery Septem-
ber 25, 1957, the $2,761 Joy bank robbery
on April 26, 1958, and the $5,625 Nauvoo
robbery May 17.”

Still another complaint was filed against
Chase alone, charging him with robbery
in connection with the Reynolds attempt.

Weisheit and’ Thrienens were charged
with being accessories after the fact of
bank robbery.

County, state and federal officers all
credited the new alarm system installed in
the Viola bank with being responsible for
the break in the sensational robbery cases.

“The buzzer was touched off while the
robbery was in oe raya Captain Murphy
said, “We were able to be at the scene of
the crime within 15 minutes after the bank
had been entered.”

Lt. Charles Casey said the prompt re-

rt enabled state police to set up road-

locks before the getaway car had time to
get far.

“Spo the car driven later that day
by Hilliard’s stepfather gave us our first
real break,” he added. “We had more cars
concentrated in the area surrounding
Viola than we did in any of the previous
robberies, mainly because we received the
report so promptly, enough to know the
bandits were not far away from the scene
of the crime.”

Special Agent Gibbons had but one
comment. “The whole thing appears to
have been a family affair.”

Sergeant Manning talked with his su-
perior, Inspector J. A. Cosart, after giving
the teletype instructions.

“The jewelry appears to rule out rob-
bery as a motive,” he told Cosart. “I think
you had better get over here before it

‘ gets dark. We can go over the scene to-

gether and bring a photographer with you.
Identification may be difficult.”

The inspector arrived half an hour later.
Cpl. H. L. Lutz, photographer, and two
troopers, John J. Courtney and Ertman
Crouse, were with him. Madison County
District Attorney Clarence Conley got
there a few minutes later.

These officers viewed the corpse, listened
to what Manning had to say, and then
went to the scene at Cowasselon Creek.

“The truck farmer found the glasses in
the road,” the sergeant said, pointing to
bloodstains in the snow. “The question is,
was this woman killed here or beaten to
death some place else and brought to the
creek?”

Inspector Cosart believed the missing
hat and pocketbook could be significant.
“There doesn’t seem to have been a de-
liberate effort to destroy the victim's
identity,” he said. “Maybe the hat and
pocketbook were thrown into the water.
It’s not frozen out there in the middle,
so the current could have carried the
articles downstream. We'll have to search
both banks.”

Troopers Courtney and Crouse followed
through on that suggestion while Cosart
and Manning questioned neighboring
farmers. Neither the troopers nor their
superiors came up with anything. The
hat and pocketbook could not be found.
The farmers had seen nothing to arouse
their suspicions.

land road in December. No one had seen

went to see the manager of the Marihello
school here and showed her pictures of
the victim. They believe the woman you
are trying to identify was a student at the
Schenectady branch back in 1938 and 1939.
If they’re right, the name you’re looking
for is Rose O’Connell. She was graduated
from the school, but married instead of
going into business.”

The Troop D inspector interrupted to
say the initials on the dead woman’s ring
were “R.O.P.”

“I’m coming to that,” the Albany editor
told him. “The man she married was
named Patane. That works out, Rose
O’Connell Patane.”

Cosart knew this could be the lead he
had been hoping for. “What was this man
Patane’s first name and where was he
from?” the inspector asked.

“The Marinello school manager doesn’t

remember Patane’s first name,” the news-
aperman said, “but she thinks he was
rom Watervliet. I have my correspondent

there checking all the Patanes now.”

Inspector Cosart didn’t wait for the
editor to hear from his correspondent. He
sent Manning and Sargenti hurrying to
Watervliet, nearly 200 miles east of the
‘mucklands where the frozen corpse had
been found.

By the time the officers arrived there
the newspaper correspondent had impor-
tant information. “Patane’s first name is
Joseph,” he told the troopers. “He and his
wife lived in an apartment at 1901 Broad-
way. They had a little girl. The owner
of the building has identified the picture
of the dead woman as Mrs. Rose Patane!”

Manning and Sargenti went to the
Broadway address and talked with the
owner, who confirmed the correspondent’s
story and added that Mrs. Patane had been

wearing clothing such as the troopers de-
scribed when she was last seen on No-
vember 29.

“Mr, Patane gave up the apartment that
day,” the owner said. “He told me they
were going to take a little motor trip as
a vacation and then go and live with his
people in Canastota.”

The apartment house owner went on to
say the Patanes had left a sewing ma-
chine, a trunk and some household articles
there after telling her they would be
back for them. later.

“T liked Mrs. Patane,” this witness told
the investigators, “and looked forward to
seeing her again. But her husband came
back alone. That was Sunday, December
13. He took his own clothes, but left his
wife’s things, the trunk and sewing ma-
chine. He told me I could have them,
which I thought was strange at the time.”

“Do is know where this man Patane
worked while he lived here?” Manning
asked.

“He was a truck driver for a produce
company over at Menands,” the apartment
house owner said, naming the business
establishment.

The state investigators thanked the
woman and asked her not to say anything
about their visit. The Watervliet cor-
respondent for the Albany paper promised
to hold his story.

Sergeant Manning called Inspector
Cosart and told him about these latest
developments. The Troop D commander
said he would contact Inspector Edward
O. Hageman, in charge of District G, the
Troy area covering both Watervliet and
Menands. Sgt. Fred Schoonmaker and
Trooper Harry Scoville were already
checking when Manning and Sargenti got
to Menands.

These Troop G. officers said Joseph
Patane had also gone under the name of
Joseph Mascari. He had reported for work
at the produce company the Monday after
the frozen corpse had been found on
Thursday, December 10, but left without
taking his truck out. That was the day
reid e’d picked up his clothes in Water-
vliet.

“Patane told his boss he had a cold,”
Sergeant Schoonmaker informed Manning
and Sargenti. “The produce people didn't
hear from him again until esday, the
15th, when a woman called to say Joe was
still sick. That’s the last word they had
about him.”

When Patane could not be located in
Watervliet, Manning and Sargenti hurried
back to Canastota after being assured by
Troop G ‘and Watervliet officers the
would be on the alert for the muc
wanted man.

A check with Madison County town
clerks turned up a man who said there
was a Tony Mascari, RFD, Canastota, who
owned a farm near Lenox. Vital statis-
tics in that town showed a birth cer-
tificate for one Joseph Mascari, born
August 2, 1911.

“That date puts him in the draft regis-
tration class,” Manning said. “Maybe we
can get a better line on him from those
records.”

Checking all Joseph Mascaris and
Joseph Patanes, the officers found a man
using the latter name had registered in
Watervliet in October, 1940. This Joseph
Patane had given his address as 1425
Broadway and changed it later the follow-
ing year to 1901 Broadway.

Photographer Lutz and Sgt. Elmer Le-
Pointe, identification expert for Troop D,
had been busy at the morgue. The first
officer took pictures of the victim. Le-
Pointe made a moulage of the face. Fin-
gerprints were also taken and forwarded
to the FBI in Washington, D. C.

Dr. Boyd’s autopsy showed the uniden-
tified woman had been bludgeoned to
death. “The top of the skull was frac-
tured seven times by a blunt instrument,”
he reported. “Any one of the deep lacera-
tions could have n fatal. Bruises on the
face, neck, hands and wrists indicate she
put up a terrific fight for her life.

Asked about a possible sex attack, Boyd
shook his head. “The woman was no vir-
gin,” he said, “but I don’t think rape
motivated the attack. Her clothes weren’t
torn and there are no bruises on the lower
portions of her body.”

Sergeant Manning knew that teeth are
one of the surest means of identification.
He called in a dentist who told him 14
of the victim’s teeth had been extracted.

“The remaining 14 are in good condi-
tion,” the doctor said. “They have been
well cared for, no cavities. All the wisdom
teeth are missing.”

The dentist made a complete chart list-
ing various inlays, fillings and facings.
Copies were made and sent to dentists
throughout the area for possible identi-
fication.

Dr. Courtland Spencer, Canastota op-
tometrist, examined the rimless glasses
found in the road and made a chart on
them. This data was forwarded to optical
supply houses throughout the East.

Specimens of blood found in the snow
and the slain woman’s clothes went to the
State Police Scientific Laboratory at
Schenectady for analysis.

The case of the frozen corpse dressed

in green caused Sergeant Manning to

stpone a vacation he had planned with

is wife in Geneva, N. Y. Calling her, the
investigator explained the situation.

“We've got a tough one to solve,” he
said. “A woman’s body has been found
and she is unidentified. There are several
large cities not too far from where she
was dumped. She could have been brought
there from any one of them. We have a
pair of glasses, clothes and some jewelry
to work with.”

Mrs. Manning asked what kind of
jewelry. '

“Rings, a wristwatch and a pin marked
Marinello,’” her husband said.

Mrs. Manning thought perhaps she could
help him out on that last item. “There is
a Marinello beauticians’ and cosmeticians’
school,” she said. “They train women for
work in beauty parlors. I think.the home
office is in New York City, but they have
branches all over the state. Maybe that
woman was connected with it in some
way.”

The state trooper thought perhaps his
wife had given him a good lead. “Only a
woman would know about that,” he said.
“It could be the answer to our puzzle.”

A quick check with New York oy
police supplemented this information wi
the home address of the Marinello Cor-

ration and its branch offices in up-state

ew York.

Since a Marinello beauty school was
listed in Syracuse, not far from where
the corpse was discovered, Inspector Co-
sart detailed Sergeant Manning and
Trooper Fred Sargenti to check that angle.

Syracuse Police Chief W. E. Rapp as-
signed local officers to help the investiga-
tors. They soon learned the Marinello
school had closed its branch in that city

. in up-state New York

six months previously. Pupils and records
had been taken over by the Syracuse
School of Beauty Culture.

The manager of this latter place could
find only one graduate with the initials
“R.P.” The former pupil’s address was
listed as Oneida, even closer to Canastota.
A quick checkup in that city eliminated
the woman. Her middle initial was not “O.”
Also she was alive and well.

What looked like a good break came
when the troopers were told the New
York State Hairdressers and Cosmetolo-
gists Association was holding a convention
in Syracuse. Manning and Sargenti
showed delegates pictures of the murder
victim, but no one recognized her.

The state investigators, working as one
team, and Syracuse Detectives John Klotz
and Cornelius Cook, as another, visited
every dentist, optician and optometrist
in the city. Manning and Sargenti also
covered all Vangie d shops. This leg work
took more than three days. The results
were nil, The dental charts, jewelry and
rimless glasses could :not be traced.

Inspector Cosart received a report from
William E. Kirwan, Jr., director of the
state scientific laboratory, saying exam-
ination and analysis conducted there pro-
duced no lead. The frozen corpse had been
found on the afternoon of December 10,
1942. Dr. Boyd said she had been dead
three -days.

Monday morning, December 14, Man-
ning and Sargenti were back in the in-
spector’s office after their unsuccessful
trip to Syracuse,

“There is only one way we'll ever crack
this case,” Cosart told them. “We need
wider publicity. Every oes department

as been apprised
of the situation, but the public knows little
about it. The newspapers have helped us
out before. I’m going to ask all editors
to send reporters here so I can tell them
the facts. A full description and pictures
should help if anything can.”

Inspector Cosart didn’t forget any news
medium. Country weeklies as well as big
city dailies were contacted. Reporters
from as far away as Binghamton and
Utica gathered at the Troop D barracks
in Oneida. The inspector outlined the case
for them. ,

“Almost a week has gone by since this
woman’s body was found,” he said. “We
have made virtually no progress. This
could be one of those perfect crimes they
talk about. The victim could have been
killed hundreds of miles away and brought
here and dumped gangland fashion, but
I don’t think it happened that way. We
need widespread publicity to identify her.
You’re the people who can give it to us.”

Cosart provided every reporter with a
full set of pictures of the dead woman,
also copies of the dental chart and de-
scriptions of the clothes and jewelry.

Editors played the unidentified woman
mystery up big. They didn’t have to be
told the news value of such a murder
story. Every reader became a detective.

Tips poured in. People who had seen
strange cars, suspiciously acting out-of-
towners and unexplainable actions on the
part of anybody called Troop D barracks.
The newspaper stories provided almost
300 leads. Every one was checked sys-
tematically. A few persons without alibis
for the December days in question were
detained, but in the end, all were released.
Not only were there no definite suspects,
but the identity of the dead woman re-
mained as much of a mystery as ever,

Inspector Cosart and Sergeant Manning
had to admit the case looked hopeless.

But they had underestimated the power
of the press. Papers from more tant
cities, that had not sent reporters to the

Oneida conference, picked up the story.
Cosart got a call from the editor of the
Albany Knickerbocker News.

“We've been intrigued by that frozen
corpse case you have in Madison County,”
he said. “Some of my reporters have been

it lying alongside what is known as the
State Ditch Road.

Dr. Pixley declared that, in his opin-
ion, the body was that of a woman be-
tween the ages of 35 and 40. Death had
been caused by a fractured skull and had
occurred, probably, three days before.

The investigator now leaned forward
to observe the corpse more closely. He
was immediately impressed by three
things: the good quality and discrimina-
ting taste in the choice of clothing worn;
the neatly trimmed and manicured nails
of the dead woman, and the fact that she
had apparently only recently acquired
a new permanent wave and a henna
rinse.

It was obvious that she had taken
pride in being well-groomed.

The color motif for her wearing ap-
parel was green: the heavy cloth coat,
of nubby material, was dark green
decorated with large green buttons; the
dress, a bright green wraparound model
of cotton and rayon material, had a row
of buttons down the front and an at-
tached belt. The pockets of the dress
were outlined with machine stitching
ornamentation in red, yellow and brown.
Similar ornamentation appeared on the
collar.

Her shoes were plain, brown oxfords,
with laces. They had rubber heels and
a small pad, or cushion was built in at
the arches. The manufacturer’s trade
mark had been worn off. The only
markings that could be observed were’
on the interior of the sidewalls: 7-C
med., (7-C-5425) (103) (1028).

Further cabalistic trade mark nota-
tions were discovered on the pale pink
foundation garment worn: “Flexees”
Reg. “Twin Control” U.S. Patent 194-
1401; 2058991. Style No. 2456. Size No. 35.

It was a zipper hook-and-eye model.

In addition, the woman wore a pair of
tan lisle stockings; a white rayon slip
and pink rayon step-ins. -

Her jewelry was neither expensive nor
flashy. It consisted entirely of items that
were either useful or held some signifi-
cance, sentimental or otherwise:

A yellow gold signet ring bearing en-
graved initials that appeared to be
“R. M. C.”-

A white gold engagement ring con-
taining a small diamond of about 1/16
of a carat.

A yellow gold wedding ring of the
“Keepsake” make, containing 3 small
diamonds. :

A yellow gold ladies wrist watch
(Kelton 7 jewel model) affixed to the
left wrist by a small gold chain band and
a clasp bearing the inscription, ‘'1/40-
10K, R.G.” The watch had stopped at
5:35. .

A yellow gold pin bearing the inscrip-
tion, “Marinello,” and affixed to a small
chain guard pin bearing the initial, “M,”
worn on the left front shoulder of the
dress.

In addition the undertaker produced a
pair of rimless spectacles with white gold
bows.

“These,” he explained, “were found by
Lombardi in a rut in the road at the
scene.”

While Manning was still compiling a
list of the personal effects, Dr. Boyd, the
Coroner, arrived. After réquesting him
to perform an autopsy in order to de-
termine the exact cause of death, he put
in a call to the Troop D Barracks and

dictated. details of the TT FILE 12 GA
which he authorized for a broadcast.

the BCI in District D, had meanwhile

joined the group and led them to the

the “Indian Opening” section alongside
the State Ditch, or Cowasselon Creek.
There, in the heart of the mucklands he
pointed out the spot where he had made
the find. It was directly opposite his
farmhouse and across the road which
separated his property from the huge
creek, or. drainage canal,-one of several
that criss-crossed the section.

“I came down here with my truck to-
day about one-fifteen,” he explained. “I
wanted to get a load-of wood. I had fin-

brush into the water right here when I
saw the body. It was lying on the right
side with the coat over the head. The
head was toward the water, almost in it.
Then, back on the highway I noticed
what looked like blood and in the middle
of it a pair of glasses lying in a rut. I

5:20 p.m.—Inspector Hageman called.
‘States it has been discovered right name
of Joseph Patane is Joseph Mascari. Re-
ported for work at Menands produce market
last Monday (December 14th) but went
‘home saying he was sick with a cold. The
same day, however, it has been: learned,
he went to 1901 Broadway, Watervliet, to
get his clothes. On Tuesday (December
15th) a woman called the Menands market,
saying Patane was still sick.

6:15 p.m.—Knickerbocker News called
with info: Staff member called, stating he
had just talked by telephone with a Dr.
Charles R. Holt who declared that in 1937
he prescribed glasses for Rose O’Connell.
Doctor said manufacturer’s frame number
‘as mentioned in optical chart appearing in
newspapers is same as on his record. Pre-
scription on his record is somewhat dif-
ferent from that published but this may be
accounted for by the fact she has had an
examination since then and had new
lenses put in the old frames. Dr. Holt, a
Plattsburg, New. York, optician. ents

6:45 p.m.—Inspector Cosart called Trooper
Burke, District B, Malone, New York, re
dental chart of murder victim. Requested
immediate check of dentists at Ausable
Forks, Clintonville and Plattsburg, N.Y.

At 9 p.m. when Manning and Sargenti,
fatigued from their arduous sleuthing in
Syracuse, returned to the Oneida barracks,
they found Inspector Cosart still with a
telephone receiver to his ear. When he was
able to hang up he sketched briefly for
them the latest details of the recent de-
velopment in the investigation. According
to Trooper Scoville’s report from Troy,
these were the last recorded movements of
the Patanes: :

Joseph Mascari, alias Patane, left Water-
vliet with his wife and two-year-old daugh-
ter, Patricia, on December 5th, right after
their evening meal. Patane supposed to
have left for Canastota to attend a wedding
at the home of his stepfather or step-
mother. He was driving a 1937 Ford blue
two-door sedan, license number 1A-88-67.
He didn’t return. to his apartment on De-
cember 6th as expected. No one appeared
at the apartment on December 7th.

On Tuesday, December 8th, between 1

and 3 p.m. Patane returned to the apart-
ment alone. He left with considerable
luggage. :
) On Wednesday, December 9th, Patane
came to the apartment about 1 P.M. and
knocked at the door of Mrs. Alice Pang-
burn, a neighbor. He asked her to pack
some dishes belonging to his wife. He ex-
plained that his rent was up on December
12th and that he was going to move out.
He declared that his wife had gone to
Chicago for a vacation and that the baby
was staying at his stepmother’s, ;

On Saturday, December 12th, Patane re-
turned to the apartment and this time asked
Mrs. Pangborn to keep his wife’s dishes
which she had already packed. He ex-
plained that he had no place to keep them.
Mrs. Patane, he told her this time, had gone
to Buffalo for a vacation. He said nothing
about his daughter.

Tuesday, December 15th, according to
Scoville’s report, was the last heard from
Patane. It was at that time that his em-
ployers were informed by a woman that
“Joe is still sick.”

Before the Inspector was through talking
both Manning and Sargenti. were thumbing
through the Canastota telephone directory.
They found listed therein:

22 Patanes.

5 Mascaris.

Checking with town clerks in various
Madison County communities, Manning
finally contacted one Roger B. Barott, of
Lenox, who recalled that there was a Tony
Mascari, RFD, Canastota, who had an onion
farm on the Pine Ridge Road just over the

line in Sullivan, or Oniontown, as it is more
familiarly known. Lenox vital statistics
records revealed there was a birth cer-
tificate for one Joseph Maskeri, born
August 2nd, 1911, in Lenox.

Inspector Cosart, meanwhile, telephoned
Trooper Scoville in Troy and requested that
he make a check at the Selective Service
Board for the draft registration of Joseph
Patane.

10:22 p.m.—Albany Times-Union reporter
telephoned. Stated one Dr. Henry J. Eckert,
1424 First Ave. Watervliet, N. Y., asso-
ciated with Eckert’s Sons, says prescription

_of murder victim’s glasses exactly the same

as that recorded by him for spectacles on
November 26th, 1942. At that time he had
inserted a new pair of lenses in a pair of
old frames.

10:45 p.m.—Trooper Burke, BCI, Malone, |

N. Y., telephoned. Stated that a Dr. Scott,
a dentist at Ausable Forks, N. Y., knows
the girl, Rose O’Connell, and that she was
married to one Joseph Patane. He did no
work for her as a dentist but says she
formerly worked at Lake Placid and that
a Dr. Perkins, formerly of that town, and
now practicing dentistry in Watervliet, is
her dentist.

“It looks as though we're beginning to get
places,” commented Inspector Cosart, at
midnight.

Trooper Scoville produced all the details
concerning the draft registration in Water-
vliet of Joseph Patane early the following
morning, December 17th. It disclosed that
he had registered in October, 1940, and had
at that time given his address as 1425
Broadway, changing it in May of the fol-
lowing year to 1901.

His registration revealed that he had listed
himself as having no physical defects and
no educational accomplishments. His occu-
pation was given as chauffeur, employed by
Gabrielle & Schackman, Menands, N. Y.
According to his notation he had been mar-
ried on April 8th, 1939, at Mt, Moriah,
N. Y., and stated that his dependents in-
cluded his wife, Rose; daughter, Patricia;
nephew, Joseph Mascari, 4; niece, Dolores
Mascari, 6. He stated that he had no crim-

Last on the Bill

The Firemen’s Wild West Rodeo and
Thrill Circus opened in St. Louis before an
audience of six thousand. Aloys (Drake)
Peters was star of the show. His stunt was
a breath-taking leap which has thrilled
spectators all over the United States and in
many other countries. It so happened that
he was No, 13 on the bill; his act was the
finale. The omen held no terror for him.
Twenty years’ experience had made him
master of his job. The circus handbills
described him as the man who hangs him-
self and lives to tell the tale. When his
turn came, an expectant hush fell upon
the arena.

The secret of the trick may now be told.
It is worked with a rope whose business
end is cleverly fashioned with strands of
rubber and covered with a camouflaged
sheath of canvas. After tying the hang-
man’s knot around his neck, the performer
leaps from a high platform to the center
of the arena. The suspended rope jerks
him to a stop and his body, apparently
lifeless, hangs for a full minute in the
glare of the spotlight. Finally he comes

to life, extricates himself from the noose
and drops gracefully to the ground.
In the excitement, spectators do not ob-

-tered nonchalantly into the market. Chief

He described himself as follows: Height;

While the Police Chief was still convers-

Graffunder and his men closed in on him =~
immediately. Making sure only to ascer-.
tain his identity they hustled him off to the
local police station, then telephoned the».
news to the BCI office at the Troop G
barracks in Troy. A detachment of BCI™
men and uniformed Troopers set out im-

mediately to pick him up. ae

Appearing stunned by his apprehension, ~
Patane seemed to bear out his employers’
expressed belief in his innocence by stat- =
ing: “You will find my wife asleep in our >
home at 2623 Sixth Avenue, Troy.” —

BCI men sped to that address and
knocked at the door of a small apartment.
A sleepy-eyed, stockily built girl in her
twenties answered. She was wearing a
dressing gown.

“Does Mrs. Patane live here?”

“I’m Mrs. Patane. What do you want?”

The investigators, after taking a quick
look about the apartment, ordered her to
dress and accompany them to the State
Police barracks. She complied with little
show of emotion and no comment. Her
reply to all questions was, “I don’t know,”
or, “I don’t know what you're talking
about.”

overnight at an Oneida hotel. He was soon
eliminated as a suspect, as were a number
of others to whom attention had been called.

This was just the beginning.

Early in the case the bulk of tips came
from residents of Syracuse, some thirty
miles to the west of Oneida. Since it was
the largest city in the section it was rea-
soned that the woman in the green dress
might have come from there. Inspector Co-
sart assigned Manning, assisted by Trooper
Fred P. Sargenti, to concentrate his efforts

After-a conference with W. E. Rapp,
Syracuse Police Chief, and Captain of De-
tectives William Metzger, two crack investi-
gators, Cornelius Cook and John Klotz,
were directed to team up with Manning
Manning and Klotz set out
in one police squad car, Sargenti and Cook
To facilitate their work both
cars were kept in constant touch with one
another by short wave radio.

One of the first things Manning did was
to make a check on the Marinello Approved
Beauty Shop which, he had been informed,
operated in Syracuse.
ment he discovered that it had been closed
some six months before. All its records
had been-turned over to another institution,
the Syracuse School of Beauty Culture.
A careful check of the files revealed only
one Marinello graduate whose initials
She turned out to be a
Canastota girl who was soon accounted for.

On that very evening, Manning learned,

murder victim.

At the hour requested, reporters began
arriving at the Troop D barracks, There
were representatives from country weeklies
as well as from the big city dailies. The
Syracuse Post Standard, the Syracuse Her-
ald-Journal, the Oneida Dispatch, Rome
Sentinel, Utica Observer-Dispatch and the
Utica Press were some of the papers repre-
sented.

When they were assembled, Inspector
Cosart, flanked by Manning, Sargenti and
other BCI men, addressed them. He briefly
outlined the known facts, stated that prac-
tically no progress had been made and
asked for the cooperation of the gentlemen
of the press.

Widespread publicity, he declared, was
in his estimation the only hope for keeping
the investigation alive; not only that, but
sustained publicity. At this point he pro-
duced copies of photographs that had been
made of the dead woman, as well as the
dental and optical charts and provided
each of the newspapermen with a set.
They were asked to publish them.

The newshawks could have been no more
enthusiastic than if they each had been
personally assigned to go out and trap the
killer.

The following day the front pages of
newspapers for miles around gave the
mucklands mystery a big play. The photo-
graphs and the charts appeared in promi-
nent positions.

The result was exactly what Inspector
Cosart and Sergeant Manning had antici-
pated. Public interest was once more
aroused. Tips and clues of every descrip-
tion began pouring into police stations and
State Police barracks and sub-stations.

Housewives, fortune tellers, station
agents, bus drivers, husbands who thought
the woman in green looked like their miss-
ing wives, night club employees, folks from
every walk of life, began giving informa-
tion.

One Syracuse reporter even went to the
trouble of compiling a list of names of all
the waitresses and beauty shop operators
he knew whose initials were “R. C.” Man-

had, in the last few hours, made a number
of highly interesting discoveries.

A staff man, he declared, had dropped
around to interview members of the faculty
of the Royal Academy of Cosmeticians,
Marinello System, in that city. Mrs. B. J.
Roses and Miss Kay Johnson, of the faculty,
he added, had promptly recognized photo-
graphs of the woman in green as having
been a student at the Schenectady branch
of the academy from November, 1938, to
May, 1939. They had known her as a Miss
Rose O’Connell. Subsequently, they said,
instead of going into business she had
married a man whom they knew only as
Patane and had moved to Watervliet,
‘N. Y. Her address there, it turned out,
was 1901 Broadway.

The Watervliet correspondent of the
Knickerbocker News had promptly been
assigned to check at the Broadway address
there. Mr. and Mrs. John Mancello, owners
of the apartment building at 1901, imme-
diately recognized the photographs of the
murder victim as being those of Mrs.
Joseph Patane who, with her husband and
small daughter, had occupied an apartment
there since May, 1941.

@ A MRS. ALICE PANGBURN, resident of
an apartment adjoining. that which had
been formerly occupied by the Patanes, it

’ was reported, had also immediately identi-

fied the photographs of the dead woman as
being Mrs. Patane. The description of the
clothing worn by the mystery woman, she
declared, corresponded exactly with that
worn by Mrs. Patane when she, her hus-
band and small daughter, Patricia, had left
Watervliet on November 29th, for a motor
trip. Patane was said to have given up
the apartment on that date, announcing
that he was taking his wife and child to
live with his people in Canastota.
According to Mrs. Pangburn, her neigh-
bor had left in the apartment, which was

furnished, a sewing machine, a trunkful-
of her clothing and a few other household .

articles. She had explained, “I’ll be back
for them next week.” Instead Patane, on
Sunday, December 13th, according to the
Knickerbocker News man’s report, had re-

Three times married killer (wearing glasses)

with a weakness for a variety of women is
led from court after admitting hammer slay-
ing of the one flame who refused to free him.

S gt. Charles J. Manning leaned forward to study the corpse
on the morgue slab. Frozen like the ground on which it had
lain, the body was still in the same position as when it was
found. One arm was extended as though she were reaching
for something. A leg was twisted up under her back. Con-
gealed blood covered her battered face and matted the hair.
Her eyes were open and icy.

“Anybody know who she is?” Manning asked.

Madison County Coroner J. D. Boyd shook his head. “No
identification,” the doctor said. “A truck farmer found her
at Cowasselon Creek outside Oniontown. She has been dead
about three days.”

Oniontown gets its name from the $1,000,000 vegetable
crop produced from the rich loam of muckland near Canas-
tota in upper New York State.

Sergeant Manning, ace investigator for State Troop D, had
been summoned from the barracks at Oneida. He asked
about the possibility of hit-run or accidental death.

“No woman would be alone in that desolate section in
December weather,” Dr. Boyd told him. “Somebody gave
this one a terrible beating and dumped her there. Multiple
skull fractures caused her death. She is between 35 and 40
years old.”

The farmer who had made the grim discovery told the

office, checked the man’s background
thoroughly.

He learned that Weisheit lived on tiny
Smith Island in the Fox River near
Oswego. In fact, the Weisheit home is the
only house there. Questioning people in
the area disclosed that William Weisheit
was Vera’s second husband and that she
had a 19-year-old son, Wilbur Hilliard, by
the former marriage who spent a lot of
time on the isolated island. Mrs. Weisheit’s
brother, Walter M. Chase, 29, and her
uncle, Hampton Thrienens, 44, who lived
in nearby East Pleasant Plain, Iowa,
stayed over-night at the Weisheit house
frequently.

Working on the theory that two men
Staged the actual stickups while others
aided in the getaways, FBI agents were
interested in this family setup. The young-
est, Wilbur Hilliard, was 19. He was short,
sandy haired and slim. That answered the
description of one of the bandits.

William Weisheit was 28. He was dark ©

haired, but not much taller than Hilliard.
Walter Chase, Mrs. Weisheit’s brother was
29, dark haired, stocky and taller. He
fitted the description of the older gunman
better.

Figuring the youngest member of the
family would be most likely to talk, the
FBI took Wilbur Hilliard into custody
Thursday night, August 28, in an Oswego
tavern. He offered no resistance and the
arresting officers noted a winged head
tattoo on the youth’s right arm, Beneath

it were the words, “Death before dis-.

honor.”

The amount of cash, $188, found on the
jobless youth interested the FBI men
more. Sheriff Albertson and Captain
Murphy aided in the interrogation.

At first Hilliard disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the western Illinois bank robber-
ies. But, according to authorities, contin-
ued questioning finally drew from him a
statement in which he admitted he was
the younger man in the Joy, Nauvoo and
Viola jobs.

“My uncle, Walter Chase, was the other
man,” he was quoted by police as saying.
“I wasn’t in on the Reynolds stickup. My
uncle pulled that one alone.” :

The youth’s statement, the authorities
said, bore out their theories about the
small town bank robberies. The men had
used two cars on each occasion. They had

driven to the bank and ditched it after the
getaway.

“We cased those banks thoroughly,”
police quoted Hilliard as saying. “We
knew every move we would make. That’s
how we got in and out so fast. We never
intended to kill anybody and we didn’t.”

When asked about the stolen money, the
police say the youth told them most of it
had been spent as they went along. “But
we buried part of the Viola loot in a corn-
field,” they quoted him as adding. “T’'ll
take you to it.”

The uncle, Walter Chase, was arrested
by FBI agents in his Aurora home Friday,
the day after Hilliard made his statement.

Told that his nephew had made a com-
plete statement, Chase, according to
authorities, admitted his part in the Joy,
Nauvoo and Viola stickups. He also said
he was the lone bandit who tried unsuc-
cessfully to rob the Reynolds bank.

Charged with violation of the federal
bank robbery statute, Chase’s bond was
set at $20,000 and he was held for a hearing
—" United States Commissioner C. S.

ike.

After telling police he had also left a
suede jacket and silver plated revolver in
the cornfield where the money was buried,
Hilliard led a group of officers and news-
men to the area a mile and a half north-
east of Aledo.

“There should be about $1,300 in there,”
he is quoted as saying. “It’s half of the last
job we pulled.”

Aided by flashlights and powerful TV
apparatus, police searched the cornfield
row by row while Hilliard waited in a car.
All they found was a cigaret butt at a
trampled down spot in some weeds where
someone probably had slept.

“My uncle.and myself stayed there part
of Tuesday night until we thought we
heard someone coming,” Hilliard told
Special Agent Gibbons,

Neither the buried money, the suede
jacket nor the silver plated revolver were
found. i

Questioned about this, Gibbons ex-
plained, “Several things could have hap-
pened. An accomplice could have picked
it up or even someone not connected with
the robberies could have found it.”

Newsmen realized there could be other
answers to the missing money. Hilliard

might have been mistaken about the exact
spot where it was buried or he could have
been covering up for someone else in-
volved and who still had the loot. What-
ever the reason, the cash was not found
even after a daylight search the following
morning.

William Weisheit, and his wife, Vera,
and her uncle, Hampton Thrienens were
questioned at length in an effort to de-
termine who might have driven the
robbery getaway cars. Several shotguns
and $600 cash were found in the Weisheit
home on Smith Island.

Special Agent Gibbons announced the
roundup of the two accused bank robbers
had also cleared up a 1957 bank job at
Chestnut, Ill, a Chicago suburb.

“Formal complaints have been filed be- |

fore U. S. Commissioner W. D. Chittenden
at Springfield against Chase and Hilliard,”
Gibbons stated. “They are charged with
the $2,964 Chestnut bank robbery Septem-
ber 25, 1957, the $2,761 Joy bank robbery
on April 26, 1958, and the $5,625 Nauvoo
robbery May 17.”

Still another complaint was filed against
Chase alone, charging him with robbery
in connection with the Reynolds attempt.

Weisheit and Thrienens were charged
with being accessories after the fact of
bank robbery.

County, state and federal officers all
credited the new alarm system installed in
the Viola bank with being responsible for
the break in the sensational robbery cases.

“The buzzer was touched off while the
robbery was in progress,” Captain Murphy
said. “We were able to be at the scene of
the crime within 15 minutes after the bank
had been entered.”

Lt. Charles Casey said the prompt re-
port enabled state police to set up road-
blocks before the getaway car had time to
get far.

“Spotting the car driven later that day
by Hilliard’s stepfather gave us our first
real break,” he added. “We had more cars
concentrated in the area surrounding
Viola than we did in any of the previous
robberies, mainly because we received the
report so promptly, enough to know the
bandits were not far away from the scene
of the crime.”

Special Agent Gibbons had but one |

comment. “The whole thing appears to
have been a family affair,”

#Sergeant Manning talked with his su-
perior, Inspector J. A. Cosart, after giving
the teletype instructions.

“The jewelry appears to rule out rob-
bery as a motive,” he told Cosart. “I think
you had better get over here before it
gets dark, We can go over the scene to-
gether and bring a photographer with you.
Identification may be difficult.”

The inspector arrived half an hour later.
Cpl. H. L. Lutz, photographer, and two
troopers, John J. Courtney and Ertman
Crouse, were with him. Madison County
District Attorney Clarence Conley got
there a few minutes later,

These officers viewed the corpse, listened
to what Manning had to say, and then
went to the scene at Cowasselon Creek.

“The truck farmer found the glasses in
the road,” the sergeant said, pointing to
bloodstains in the snow. “The question is,
was this woman killed here or beaten to
death some place else and brought to the
creek?”

Inspector Cosart believed the missing |

hat and pocketbook could be significant.
“There doesn’t seem to have been a de-
liberate effort to destroy the victim’s
identity,” he said. “Maybe the hat and
pocketbook were thrown into the water.
It’s not frozen out there in the middle,
so the current could have carried the
articles downstream. We'll have to search
both banks.”

Troopers Courtney and Crouse followed
through on that suggestion while Cosart
and Manning questioned neighboring
farmers. Neither the troopers nor their
superiors came up with anything. The
hat and pocketbook could not be found.
The farmers had seen nothing to arouse
their suspicions.

Few cars pased along the lonely muck-
land road in December. No one had seen
an auto stop near the creek. As far as any-

As far as any-

one living nearby knew, no one was miss-
ing.

Photographer Lutz and Sgt. Elmer Le-
Pointe, identification expert for Troop D,
had been busy at the morgue. The first
officer took pictures of the victim. Le-
Pointe made a moulage of the face. Fin-
gerprints were also taken and forwarded
to the FBI in Washington, D. C.

Dr. Boyd’s autopsy showed the uniden-
tified woman had been bludgeoned to
death. “The top of the skull was frac-
tured seven times by a blunt instrument,”
he reported. “Any one of the deep lacera-
tions could have been fatal. Bruises on the
face, neck, hands and wrists indicate she
put up a terrific fight for her life.

Asked about a possible sex attack, Boyd
shook his head. “The woman was no vir-
gin,” he said, “but I don’t think rape
motivated the attack. Her clothes weren’t
torn and there are no bruises on:the lower
portions of her body.”

Sergeant Manning knew that teeth are
one of the surest means of identification.
He called in a dentist who told him 14
of the victim’s teeth had been extracted.

“The remaining 14 are in good condi-
tion,” the doctor said. “They have been
well cared for, no cavities. All the wisdom
teeth are missing.”

The dentist made a complete chart list-:
ing various inlays, fillings and facings.
Copies were made and sent to dentists
throughout the area for possible identi-
fication.

Dr. Courtland Spencer, Canastota op-
tometrist, examined the rimless glasses
found in the road and made a chart on
them. This data was forwarded to optical
supply houses throughout the East.

Specimens of blood found in the snow
and the slain woman’s clothes went to the
State Police Scientific Laboratory at
Schenectady for analysis.

The case of the frozen corpse dressed
in green caused Sergeant Manning to
postpone a vacation he had planned with
his wife in Geneva, N. Y. Calling her, the
investigator explained the situation.

“We've got a tough one to solve,” he
said. “A woman’s body has been found
and she is unidentified. There are several
large cities not too far from where she
was dumped. She could have been brought
there from any one of them. We have a
pair of glasses, clothes and some jewelry
to work with.”

Mrs. Manning asked what kind of
jewelry.

“Rings, a wristwatch and a pin marked
‘Marinello,’”’ her husband said.

Mrs. Manning thought perhaps she could
help him out on that last item. “There is
a Marinello beauticians’ and cosmeticians’
school,” she said. “They train women for
work in beauty parlors. I think the home
office is in New York City, but they have
branches all over the state. Maybe that
woman was connected with it in some
way.”

The state trooper thought perhaps his
wife had given him a good lead. “Only a
woman would know about that,” he said.
‘Tt could be the answer to our puzzle.”

A quick check with New York City
police supplemented this information with
the home address of the Marinello ‘Cor-
poration and its branch offices in up-state
New York.

Since a Marinello beauty school was
listed in Syracuse, not far from where
the corpse was discovered, Inspector Co-
sart detailed Sergeant Manning and
Trooper Fred Sargenti to check that angle.

Syracuse Police Chief W. E. Rapp as-
signed local officers to help the investiga-
tors. They soon learned the Marinello
school had closed its branch in that city

six months previously. Pupils and records
had been taken over by the Syracuse
School of Beauty Culture.

The manager of this latter place could
find only one graduate with the initials
“RP.” The former pupil’s address was
listed as Oneida, even closer to Canastota.
A quick checkup in that city eliminated
the woman. Her middle initial was not “O.”
Also she was alive and well.

What looked like a good break came
when the troopers were told the New
York State Hairdressers and Cosmetolo-
gists Association was holding a convention
in Syracuse. Manning and_ Sargenti
showed delegates pictures of the murder
victim, but no one recognized her.

The state investigators, working as one
team, and Syracuse Detectives John Klotz
and Cornelius Cook, as another, visited
every dentist, optician and optometrist
in the city. Manning and Sargenti also
covered all jewelry shops. This leg work
took more than three days. The results
were nil. The dental charts, jewelry and
rimless glasses could not be traced.

Inspector Cosart received a report from
William E. Kirwan, Jr., director of the
state scientific laboratory, saying exam-
ination and analysis conducted there pro-
duced no lead. The frozen corpse had been
found on the afternoon of December 10,
1942. Dr. Boyd said she had been dead
three days. :

Monday morning, December 14, Man-
ning and Sargenti were back in the in-
spector’s office after their unsuccessful
trip to Syracuse.

“There is only one way we'll ever crack
this case,” Cosart told them. “We heed
wider publicity. Every police department
in up-state New York has been apprised
of the situation, but the public knows little
about it. The newspapers have helped us
out before. I’m going to ask all editors
to send reporters here so I can tell them
the facts. A full description and pictures
should help if anything can.”

Inspector Cosart didn’t forget any news
medium. Country weeklies as well as big
city dailies were contacted. Reporters
from as far away as Binghamton and
Utica gathered at the Troop D barracks
in Oneida. The inspector outlined the case
for them.

“Almost a week has gone by since this
woman’s body was found,” he said. “We
have made virtually no progress. This
could be one of those perfect crimes they
talk about. The victim could have been
killed hundreds of miles away and brought
here and dumped gangland fashion, but
I don’t think it happened that way. We
need widespread publicity to identify her.
You’re the people who can give it to us.”

Cosart provided every reporter with a
full set of pictures of the dead woman,
also copies of the dental chart and de-
scriptions of the clothes and jewelry.

Editors played the unidentified woman
mystery up big. They didn’t have to be
told the news value of such a murder
story. Every reader became a detective.

Tips poured in. People who had seen
strange cars, suspiciously acting out-of-
towners and unexplainable actions on the
part of anybody called Troop D barracks.
The newspaper stories provided almost
300 leads. Every one was checked sys-
tematically. A few persons without alibis
for the December days in question were
detained, but in the end, all were released.
Not only were there no definite suspects,
but the identity of the dead woman re-
mained as much of a mystery as ever.

Inspector Cosart and Sergeant Manning
had to admit the case looked hopeless.
But they had underestimated the power
of the press. Papers from more distant
cities, that had not sent reporters to the
Oneida conference, picked up the story.
Cosart got a call from the editor of the
Albany Knickerbocker News.

“We've been intrigued by that frozen
corpse case you have in Madison County,”
he said. “Some of my reporters have been

“I needed some wood for my stove,” he said. “This morning I took

sprawled at the bottom of the bank with her head almost in the water.

Cosart shot a quizzical glance at —

“How do you know?” «

“The garage man said Patane had
been driving the same car for about
six years,” Manning followed |
through. : of

Cosart swore softly. “This case is
like stepping onto soft ground near
a creek. The ground looks dry; so
you step on it. You don’t worry
much about whether it’s going to
hold you up or not. Then, all of a
sudden, you realize that every time
you take a step the ground is get-
ting a little softer. You’re getting
your shoes muddy, and if you keep
on walking you're liable to be in
mud up to your ankles. And if you.
don’t really look out, the next step

may plunge you into a bog up to |

your neck, or over your head.”

“Do you think we’re getting any-
where near a bog?” Manning asked.

“I don’t know. But I’ve a feeling
that the next step in this case is
going to be a lot more important
than those we’ve already taken.”

“Where do we go now, Chief?”

“We're going to check every Mari-
nello Beauty College in the State of
New York. I think it’s time we
found. something out about the wo-
man in the case. We should get
plenty of information on her from
the school she attended—if and
when.”

Back at headquarters, far into the
night, they kept the long distance
wires busy. Troy, Buffalo, Albany,
Syracuse, “New York City, etc.—
they called them all. But they
learned nothing about the missing
woman. In fact, they could find no
one who knew her. Instructors and

® students at the various colleges had
flocked to defense work in the years
since Mrs. Patane had attended. In-
- deed, the school itself, with all its
branches, had closed for the dura-
tion. tat
- At midnight, the officers decided
to call it quits until morning. Co-
sart was worn out. Manning, too,
was ready for sleep. They drove to
their respective homes for the night.

OSART’S telephone was ringing
when he reached. his office early
the next morning. It was Schenec-
tady calling. A woman was on the
wire, a former beauty-college in-
structor of Mrs. Patane who had

heard they were looking for her ex-

pupii. Cosart perked up.

“How did you happen to hear

mystified. No call had been placed
to Schenectady the night before.

* large beauty college in her city and
a Marinello operator in Troy who
had been reached by Manning the
night before had called her—partly
out of a desire to pass on a little
“news” and partly out of a desire
to help the police.

“I got worried,” the woman in
Schenectady said. “It isn’t at all
like Rose to go away without telling
anyone,”

Cosart questioned the woman fur-
ther. Mrs. Patane was indeed a lady
of orderly habits, she said. She had

: , been a good pupil — had dressed

tastefully and groomed herself well.

“No, of course she wouldn’t have

her winter clothing,” she said, in
response to a question from Cosart.

“Did you let her in?”

: “I didn’t have any choice. She

wouldn’t take no.”

The look of exasperation returned
to Cosart’s face, only this time Man-
ning, who stood in front of him,
frowned slightly. He read in his
chief’s face that the time for joking
was over. Cosart listened intently,
his cigar clamped firmly between
his teeth.

When the conversation was over,
he spun around in his chair and re-
lated the story to Manning.

A strange young woman had
called at the house and had asked
permission to.enter the Patane

apartment, saying she was a friend -
of Mrs. Patane and that she had

left something in the bedroom. Miss
Adair had escorted the young wo-
man into the apartment. She had
searched high and low, had not
found what she’d come for, and
had departed looking quite agitated.

“Any idea what she was looking _~
“for?” Manning lost no time in in-
_ quiring. .

Cosart pulled open’a drawer and
produced a purple lipstick. from his

-. pocket.

“Perhaps this is what she was

_looking for,” he said solemnly. “It

was, after all, the only thing out of
place on Mrs. Patane’s dresser.”

self - consciously,
Manning ._ grew more «° curious.
“When did you change it to Pa-
tane?” he asked casually. :
“About 1938. Why?” TENSE ae
- Manning looked the man over.
He could get the entire department
into trouble if he bungled the mat-

aNd Hibs yf 2

- ter. On the other hand, he could

play it safe by arranging for fur-

_ ther questioning of the man in the

presence of Cosart at headquarters.
Patane politely acquiesced to the

invitation to come to police head-

quarters. Manning drove him there,

‘turned him over to Cosart. Then— é

on’ a hunch—he returned to Water-
vliet to call upon the county re-

corder, siso the bank and bus sta-

tion.

( To his surprise, Manning learned
that most of Patane’s story checked.
Bank records showed that Patane
‘had withdrawn $400 on December

- 5th, and that a man of his descrip-
‘tion had purchased a bus ticket to

Bridgeport. Next, he called Patane’s

‘father and mother and learned that

the child was with them. :
id * + &

ACK at headquarters, Manning
found Cosart puzzled as to why
Patane had changed his name to

- Mascari in the first place. Patane’s

ready explanation seemed logical
enough. It had sounded too much
like a certain beauty preparation,
he said with a smile. He had been
kidded about it all his life and he
had finally gotten tired of it, he
had just confided to Cosart when
Manning walked in. Discreetly the
latter signalled to his superior who
followed him out of the office.
“What’s up?” Cosart demanded,
once they were out of earshot.
“Who can tell?” Manning said
with a grin. “All I know is “that I
had a hunch that the court records
might show an entry under the name
Joseph Mascari. The hunch was
right. According to the records, as
has never
changed his name legally—he mar-
ried a Mary Liccardello, from whom

‘he is now divorced, over at Canas-

tota in 1932. In 1939, as Joseph Pa-
tane, he married Rose O’Connell.”

“That’s all very interesting,” Co-
sart said “orheu atc “but hardly ©
interesting enough to drag a man
out into the hall.”

“Maybe not,” Manning said, “but
I thought you might like to know
that Mascari didn’t have his final

‘decree ‘when he married Rose tf

O’Connell. In fact, it didn’t become
final until December 10th, 1941. It
seems to be a little detail that
didn’t bother Patane a bit.”

Suddenly Cosart’s eyes lit up. For
a moment he stood there, wrapped
in thought. Then he walked slowly -
and casually back to his office where
Mascari was talking affably to sev-
eral troopers.

HISTORY OF THE CRIME,

On the 3d day of December last, at
about 5p. u., the people of that por-
tion of the town of Sherburne known
as “Nigger Hollow,” were startled by
the announcoment that a horrible mur.
der had been committed in their midst.
The location of the tragedy is about
three-quarters of a mile from the road
leading from North Norwich to Sher-
burne village, and about three miles
from the latter place. In that usually
quiet locality the perpetration of suc!
a deed naturally created tho most in-
tense excitement, and the population
for miles around quickly gathered to
the tragedy, where the

THE MURDERED MAN,

James M, Hatch the murderer’s yic-
tim, was a sober, industrious, and
inoffensive man, some fifty years of
age, Who had forthe greater pert of
of his life resided in Sherburne or in
Madison County a few miles north of
the Sherburne line, Forthe last ten
years he had lived fioxt neighbor to
McCann, Though a poor man he was
esteemed and trusted by his townsman
and those who enjoyed‘ his ao
quaintance, He and McCann had for
several years worked by the month as
laborers, frequently being employed
by the same persons, Hatch left a
widow and one son, also three brothers
and three sisters, most of whom resi-
de in Madison County.

EFFORTS IN BEHALF OF MC CANN,

After the conviction of McCann, the
most strenuous efforts were put forth
by his friends and counsel, to secure a
commutation of his sentence to impris-
onment for life,and petitions were circu-
lated by Rev. Father Harrigan, pastor of
St. Patrick’s Church in this village, and
others, which received the signatures
of a Jarge number of the prominent
and influential citizens of the county,
praying the Governor to commute the
sentence, Hon, Elizur H, Prindle,
and Father Harrigan visited Alba-
ny, and in company with other promi-
nent gentlemen worked hard to per-
snade the Governor to save the old
man’s life ; but this action only result.
edina three weeks respite, quickly
following which came the announec-
ment from a semi-otticial source, that
this in all probability would be the
enly interposition the Governor would
offer to stay the execution of the law
in the prisoner’s case, Since that time

during the last three months has been

and informed them that the time hed

er was Offered by Father Harrigan and
his wife and child at onee left.
He saying to them “Stick to your
faith, be obedient to the priest
and stick to the religion. Had I been
more practical in my religion I would
not have been where I am now,” was
his parting injunction.

address to the prisoner, exhorting him
to be firm and not bein dread of the
gallows for ‘the body can be hurt but

give his enemies as Christ forgaye his
on the Cross,

During this time the officers and
witnesses were assembling in the jail
yard and when all had assembled only
thirty-one persons were present, in-
clading the sheriff,

The death warrant and reprieve were

then read to McCann in his cell, to
which ho responded “tit is all right,”

and in all his bearing showed the
faithfulness of his preparation. His
appearance indicated true penitence
for his crime, though he did not make
ony public confession; whether he did
tothe priests or not wo are not advised,
THE EXECUTION

was the most successful one we ever
witnessed, and all reporters present
who haye seen {ygany mon hung, con-
curred in this opinion. So perfect and
thorough was every arrangement that
there was no hitch or delay in any
portion of the proceedings. The deli-
cate task devolving upon Sheriff Hill
was conscientiously performed, and
though it was a sad duty he shrank
not from itin any particular, In this
trying ordeal, as in his entire official
career, he has shown his eminent fit-
ness for the office, and that he is equal
to great emergencies as well as for the
daily routine of official life,

The arrangements for the execution,
under the direction of the Sheriil, were
most complete, as will be noticed by
our report, Rumors wero rifo in our
streets of an intended attempted rescue
by McCann’s countrymen, in case of
which the Sheriff was prepared with a
large force of special police who were
within easy hailing distance. Though
& very proper precaution at all times
upon such occasions, when uncertainty
reigns, yet in this instance it proved
unnecessary, “he Irish population of

Hatch, wife of the murdered man and
| her husband, were alone in their house,
| She had just returned from Sherburne
village, and ihey had partaken of their

the window, and she had gone to a re-
cos to change her dress, when she was
startled by the heavy report of a gun.
At the same instant heard the window
at which ber husband was standing
broken, and him exclaim, ‘‘l’m shot I”
“I’m shot 1” Turning, she beheld him
staggering back from the window and
saw bim fallto the floor, where in a
brief time he expired in her arms, As
Mrs. Hatch passed by the broken win-

by the fence, some forty-six feet dis-
tant, Felix McCann, just raising his

the same road about twenty-five rods
distant. Soon after the alarm messen~

ofiicers arrived and McCann was at
once arrested by Deputy Sheriff A. R,
Bryant and conveyed to Sherburne,
where he was kept in custody until
after the Coroncr’s inquest, when he
was formally committed to the county
jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury. He was indicted for the murder

a leogthy trial, occupying the entire
week, he was found guilty of murderin
the first dcgrea, and sentenced by
Judge Follett to be execnted on Fri-
day, the 16th day of May. He was
subsequently respited by Governor
Robinson until June 6th, The weapon
with which the murder was committed
was a beavy army gun, known as the
EnGeld rifle, and that the charge was a

by Sheriff Hill to the prisoner :

Silas R. Hill, Sheriff, Norwich :

After a very careful perusal of the entire
evidence and the papers submitted, the Gov-
ernor declines to interfere further in the case
of Felix McCann. t

appeared dazed,
and seemed hardly to comprehend its
import, and after a few moments asked
the Sheriff what 1t meant. He was in-
formed that it meant that there was no
further hope for him and that he must

prepare to
MEET HIS FATE

on tho 6th day of June.
For a time after this he did not
speak, and when he did he be-
came turbulent and berated the Gov-
ernor, his counsel, wife and attendauts,
and was in a very ugly frame of mind
until evening when he again became
calm and assumed his characteristic
indifference and unconcern, talking
about the terrible event as though it
were a matter of trivial importance,

The following letter explanatory of
the dispatch was received by Hon, E,
H. Prindle on Wednesday fast :

STATE OF NEW YORK, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, }
ALBANY, May 21, 1879.
Hon. E. H. PRINDLE:

DraR Sin—My telegram of yesterday has
apprised you of the decision in the case of
Felix McCann. ‘The Governor desires me to
say further, that before coming to this con-
clusion he carefully considered the entire
testimoney in the case, as he promised you,
as well as the able suggestions made by your-
self, in behalf of a commutation of the sen-
tence. He also read with care the letters of
the presiding Justice and the District At-
torney. Both these gentlemen treated the
prisoner with the utmost fairness in their
communicaticns, and left the Governor to be
guided principally by his examination of the
minutes of the trial. The perusal of every
word of those minutes leaves the Governor
firmly convinced that the verdict was correct.
The triak was eminently fair, The rulings
seem to the Governor to have been right, and
if the Court erred at all, it was on the side
of the prisoner. From the whole record the
Governor fails to find a single reason for in-
terfering with the sentence, and desires me
to advise you that he feels constrained to let
the law take its course.

Yours, respectfolly, P
D. C. ROBINSON,
Private Secretary.

him he would get him some as soon as
possible, The brandy was brought
and placed upon his table, and he was
left alone with the watchman, In about
thirty minutes Deputy Cook again
visited his cell and asked him how he
was feeling then. Felix replied ‘I
am feeling yery weil,” and asked “have
you got your machine ready?” He
was told that everything was ready.
He then inquired ‘‘if it had been tried
any,” and was assured that it worked
complete, He asked ‘‘if it was a new
rigging,” and was told that it was en-
tirely new and would work to perfec-
tion, and that he would not know
what hurt him. ‘‘Well,” says Felix,
‘Sif is better to die so than to be sick
for a long time and then die, it would
be less pains to die s0, of course he
did not like the idea: of being hung ;
he didn’t want to come to his death in
that way, and he hoped and prayed
that there would never be another man
hung.” He was then left for a time
with the watchman, and shortly after
was visited by his spirtual advisers,

THE LAST NIGHT.

Rev. Fathers Harrigan of Norwich
and Luddan, of Sherburne, remained
with McCann until 11:45, p. u., admin-
istring the rights of the Catholic church
and giving advice to the doomed man,
when they bid him good night request-
ing him to‘retire and gain what rest he
could before morning. He seemed to
think that!all would be well with him.
He then lit a cigar and smoked fora
short time and at 12 o’clock and _ three
minutes retired at 12 o’clock and four-
teon minutes he was sleeping soundly,
and did not awake until 4:45 4. ™.,
when he said to his keepers, I have
slept longer than I intended to, I must
be getting ready. He then washed
himself, and knelt at the side of his
bed and spent some time in prayer,
officers Graham, White and Hubbard
were With him during the night,

FRIDAY MORNING,

About 5 o’clock Deputy Cook went
to the cell of McCann and found that

appearance of Hatch’s body after
death, McCann and Hatch’s family
had not been on good terms for some
years, and several times had indulged
in open quarrels, most of the trouble
resulting from the trespassing of hens
upon one another’s grounds, On the
day in question McCann had been to
Sherburne, and while there had drank
more or less liquor. During his ab-
sence Hatch had shot one of his
chickens, and upon his return home,
Mrs, McCann informed her husband of
the occurrence, when he, getting ex-
cited, and burning for revenge doubt-
less, started out to avenge the wrong,
and in his frenzy, seeing Hatch at the
window, leveled his gun, took deliber.
ate aim and fired the fatal shot, From
the time that he was arrested he has
stoutly denied all knowledge of the
crime, still his evidence and appear-

conflicting evidence of his wife and
daughter, all tended to confirm the
people’s evidence, ani thus make his
conviction donbly sure,

THE GALLOWS AND THE PREPARATION FOR
THE EXECUTION,

The frame of the gallows was con-
structed by Brown Bros. at the Stern-
berg factory in this village,. and con-
sists of two upright posts of six inches
square and 12 feet in height. These
posts are surmounted by a cross beam
11 feet 8 inches in length, and of the
same dimensions and timber as the
upright. In this are two pulleys upon
which runs the fatal rope, which will
be concealed from sight bya groove
covered to prevent the rope jumping
the pulleys, The uprights are inserted
in a base of somewhat heavier timber
upon which is constructed a platform
eight feet square. The whole frame is
thoroughly braced and pinned in the
strongest possible manner, The trap
for dropping the weight is a very inge-
nious contrivance, original with Sheriff
Hill and has never been used to- our
knowledge, on a similar occasion,
either in Montgomery county or at
Fonda, reports to the contrary
notwithstanding ; the weight be-
ing the only portion of the gal-
lows borrowed, and that was done
only for the purpose of saying expense
‘to the county. The fatal trap on which
will be suspended the weigkt, is made
of heavy iron, crane shaped, on which
is 8 horizontal bar about 13 inchesin
length at the end of which hangs the
weight and by the pulling of a rope the
short upright iron which holds it is
displaced and the weight slips off and
launches the doomed man into eterni-
ty. The rope used was manufactured
by J. P. Bosworth, at his factory in
this village, and is composed of 414
strands of shoes thread, either of which
Strands will bear, by actual test, a
weight of 11 pounds and the rope is
capable of sustaining a weight of over
two tons, The pulleys,rope and entire
gallows are of the strongest and most
substantial character,

to the cell of McCann ond found that
all was well, About an hour later he

went up again and asked McCann how
he felt; he said “I feel just about es

ment of the Court House, that had
been placed there during the night, he
asked ‘‘is the coffin in that,” and was
informed it was, At about 8 o’clock
he was seen again by the same officer
and was asked how he felt. He said
‘the felt first-rate ; he was asked how

Early on Friday morning, posts were
set in front of the county building and
a rope stretched from -thence to the

idence of W. B. Guernsey, and thence
running north to the corner of Court

casion. About 40 from the Alert Hose

sworn in by president Wm. Breese, as

os

—On Thursday evening, May 29, as previ-
ously announced, Rev. Henry Cronin of the
2nd Congregational Church of this place,
gave his popular le®ture ‘* Wit, and humor,”
to a good audience. The proceeds were giv-
en to the ladies to use in the repairing end
improving the interior of our church edifice.
Both the lecture and gift resulting from it,
are highly appreciated. Those who were ab-
sent lost a good chance to “laugh and grow
fat,” as the speaker scemed equally to excel
in whatever character he assumed, while the
solid portion of the lecture, the nice distinc-
tions made, are worthy of many a_ second
thought. Thoso who can secure Mr. C., for
“Men, Gents, and Gentlemen,” or ‘*Witand
Humor,” may deem themselves fortunate.
We would not omit mentioning the great
variety of plants in richest bloom, which
were so artistietly arraigned upon the plar-
form. In front of the desk others were
grouped, beneath an arch twined with green

and pendant blossoms of white. We will
only add that when the ladies of Coventry-

At first the prisoner appeared dazed,
and seemed hardly to comprehend its
import, and after a few moments asked
the Sheriff what 1t meant, He was in-
formed that it meant that there was no
farther hope for him and that he must

prepare to

speak, and when he did he_ be-
came turbulent and bers-ted the Gov-

“ AFTERNOON SESSION,

The afternoon was rainy and disa-
greeable, but long before the hour for
opening the court, tie steps of the
Oourt House were blocked with masses
or peopls crowding eagerly to get in
first, Among‘them were many ladies,
who seemed careless of rain and mud,
in their eagerness to be present at the
summing up, Hundreds of people
from Sherbrzae were in the crowd,,
many from Oxford and other parts of
the county were in  attendaroe,
When the coors were opened the peo-
ple went in a grand rush towards the
court room, and soon filled it to over-
flowing with an eager, excited
and talking crwwd, All available
Space was seized upon, many standing
up In the aisles, They had come to
see the show and were bound to have
their money’s worth. A large repre-
sentation of Felix’s fellow coutrymen
were scattered through the orowd, At
2:05 Mr, Church, isistrict Attorney,
began summing up for the People,

that resentment ended with death, but

Counsel calls for more threats, He'd
have us belieye that before a man does
such « deed he goes about proclaiming
what heintends todo. Doyou believa
that Ielix was afriend of Hatch ? Had
no ill-feeling because of Hatoh’s killing
his hen? Not angry when his land
was taken ? No ill-feeling exoept on
the fur day when coming home ?
Counsel spenking of the shot, says his
mind is confused. 1 don’t consider

trouble to look at the post, ‘That will

was it a figmentof their imagination?
Hither there was no such talk, or olse
McOann stands bere impeached, coun-
sel read from MoOann’s evidence about
loading the gun, Whyaid not Felix
buy some shot? He tells you he
wanted to go hunting and wanted to

shot, why not? J’iltell youwhy, He
could show he had no shot, no man
could show he had any shot

Bat suppose you say that MoUann

What was the nature of the crime ?
Was it murder? If the jury have no

the fatal shot, if you have any donbt
abont the degree, you must find the
leaser degree, A change has been
mado in the statute on murder,ohanzed
in 1862 and then modified in 1873,
Counsel then read the statuteas passed
ing 1873.

W hat is the evidence asto premedita-
tion and deliberation ? Murder in the
second degree is committed intention-
aliy, ‘Phere is a difference between the

# thet whon iwfeCann hoard of the
aeula of tie rooster, that ho was 60
maddened that he took tho gun ard in
the heat of passion and under the stim-
ulents of liquor he went out and shot
Hatch, If you believe McCann did the
dred at all, that must be your
theory. That is not murder in
the fret degree, because’ there
is not the requisite deliberation
and premeditation, (Oounsel here
read the definition of premeditation
and deliberation), If MoCann w:s
under the influence of liquor so that
his tongue was thick, be was not in a
conditicn to deliberate and vremedi-
tate. If he, mad with passion whea
told that the rooster was shot, did it
without deliberation—without mature
reflection—mature reflection mea:s
something; it means taking time; pre-
meditation means thinking before-
hand. Itis for youto say what that
means in this case, under the evidence.
Can a man deliberate and premeditata
withont time? We haye plenty of au-
thoritieson this head, buat will not
take time to read them, OQounsel

of Judge Westbrook in that case, going
to show that to make murder in the
first degree if must bein the coolness

ment. If hicCann was intoxicated at
this time, and the information of his
wife roused his blood, did he dothe

sel further read from the charge show-
ing premeditation and deliberation also
necessary elemerts to murder in the
first degree, The law will not say that
& man who commits a crime ina drunk.
in frapzy does the deed deliberately,
Counsel said he read this nct to show
what the law is, but only as a part of
his argument. There will be no oisa-
greement astothe law. Many cases
reperted in the bocks, show thata
crime committed 1n the heat of passion
is not done with premeditation, Oan
a person ia the heat of passion delib-
erate or haye time to premeditate ?
Never. Batacrime committed in the
heat of passion can be murder in the
second degree.

The booka require an incohate aet,

except as you believe Mrs. Hatch. If

would you want your lify sworn awa'y

do not ask for vengeance, but
if you are satisfied that Yelix MoCann
committed the crime, f domand your
verdict in the name of the law, You
try tosay, whether telix MoOann is
guilty of murder: but you aiso are to

bone enough in a jury of Ohenango
county to stand up and render a ver-
dict of guilty. ‘There’s be n enough
‘swash andsentiment”’: It is time wa

that courts are a humbug, and the
reason for itis laid upon the courts,
‘I'he responisbility does not rest there
but upou jurors, You are to daclare

where there are no chances for intricate
questions or of facts, you are responsi-
‘ble to your county for tne result,
Some have thought that the death
penalty must be abolished. You have
said you believed iu capital punish-
mont, Capital punishment bas nothing
to do with this case, The responsibility
is with you, Hach part of the Court has

its department, and you have nothing’

to do with the result of your verdict.
If you are satisfied, you must present
your verdiot; the resuits remain with
the Conort and the Governor, The
Great Creator ot all has said: ‘The
land canvot be cleansed for the blood
shed init, but by the shedding of blood.”
You cannot split hairs about the law,
but you must stand by the law, both
buman and divine, and the oath you
have taken, The case here presents
no new features; itis the same as in
every case presented at the bar, I
hear appeals for mercy; have to meet
an alibi in almost every case, I
expected it here, You should show
mercy, but what meroy has McOann
shown here? ‘'There is meroy and
meroy.” Counsel talks about
reasonable doubt; why, tbat is the
law, but reasonable doubt does
not mean you shall spend your ener-
gies to spell ont how a crima might
havo been committed. Reasonable
doubts mean such donbts as reasonable
men have, Counsel wants you to judge
tne case as though your own lives were
inthe ballance, It is a ridiculous
proposition. It isthe same as ifI
should ask you to approach this case
as if one of your own family had been
stricken down ; you are to approach
the case as reasouable men, upon your
oath,

The crime committed in this case
was peculiarly an atrocious crime,
There are various means by which
murder rasy be committed; but
there ie no way of taking a
life so cowardly and base as to
steal uy to him in his house,
where '16 is 6,4] unsuspicions, and strike
him dvswn On his own hearth stone,
Counsel tells you Felix McCann comes
here} poortand friendless ? How does
Mrs, Watch and Alonzo come? Says
he bas no means to prepare this trial,
but ho was able to procure our learned
friend here to assist him, and had he
all the wealth of the world, he could
‘aave done no better.’

nothing to say against Mra,
or Minnie, but you'll recollect how
eagerly she unswered to
being in favor of her husband, bat
when not, she could not understand.
Felix is deaf, partially; he tas told
men repeatedly he heard the shot and
the ories. He tells you here he only
heard the shot, They were all there,
Mrs. McOann avd Minnie, but awear
they did not hear the shot. Then
where was Ieliz when he heard a shot
that they did not? They could not
have been together. That is enough to
show their testimony is not to be be-
lieved, If Felix with histhick hearing
heard a shot Minnie with ber quiok ear
did not hear, then they could not have
been together in the house. No other
evidence could bave done away with
the alibi so effectually. That shot was
fired off by Felix’s ear. Why did Felix
get his gun on this Saturday?’ He says he
he got it to shoot partridges, and coun-
sel claims it is a reasonable and proper

explanation, Felix says he'd been

working six week before this time.

Why hadn’t it occurred to him to get

this gun before? Tells you he didn’t

get it because he hadn’t the money ;
and in the same breath says hadn’t in-
tended to pay iorit until he tried it,

I'll tell you why he got it. On the morn
ing of that day Alonzo had a talk with

McCann, who said, ‘‘if his father didn’t
stop shocting the hens, hoe’d fix him.”

How was he going to try this gun?

Frederick asked what he got the caps

for? Hesaidtotry his gun. ‘'Non-

senee,” said Frederio, ‘you can’t try a
gun with caps.” ‘The questiou remains
unanswered to this duy. A gun; no

shot, powder, caps ; goes to Leonard’s

and gets powder ; caps and powder at
Leouard’s, —no shot ; caps at Kelsoy’s,

—no shots: caps at Whitford’s,—no
shots ; and yet Felix was going to try

this gun, Do you believe the story ?

What is the reasonable proposition ?

That he didn’t get the shot so that he

could havea defense, or he got the

caps to shoot partridges and try his

gun? Oounsel has tried to belittle the

crime by trying to show that Felix

was drunk, and was not able to

form the determination to commit the
crime. I am surprised; all say he

wasn’t drunk, Kelsey, his wifefand
daughter tellyou he wasn’t drunk; and
if anyone can tell you that a person is
druuk it is his wife, Mrs, MoCann
kuew whether he was drunk, Pan)

Brown comes in five minutes a.ter the
shot is fired, and finds Felix smoking
as calmly as acummer evoning, and
counsel would have you think that five
minutes before he was a orazy, dravuk-

en creature, Are you going to believe
that? If so, then you might as well
advertise that a manocan get a grudge
against some one, then get a little
drank and shoot him, then come into
the Court, and have his character vin-
dicated, and be preserted with a
chromo, [Laughter.] Counosel asks
you to think it was ry
tramp who did the deed; who
can believe that ? Counsel would bave
you think Mrs, Hatch did it, after
living with her husband for 30 years?
What for? Was she in love with Felix
McCann ? If there had beon no Cath-
erine McCann barring her way to Felix’s
arms, there wasa enmityin the way,
Yetthey would h: "e you think that
Mrs, Hatch didit That while she was
rushing up to Pau Browns wringing
her hands and crying for he dead huas-
band, she might hava loaded and oiled
that guo. That caso must be dos-
perately weak that requires a resort to
such argument ue that,

accvunt to you that by public ramor he was

he did the deed, itis of no uccount to you
that the wrand jury of Ch) county has preseot-
ed an ind ciment here charging him with the
offense it is wn uccus tion and notwithasaad-
ing all this, he comes hore with a presutpp-
tion of innocence, which tho law throws
around every man, Aad, gentlemen, you
mu-t detertnine this case solely and entirely
from the eviaence which hus been given you
from tha witness stand, under the law as it is
laid down to you by the ccurt,

When crimes have beon committed, or are.
charged to have been committed, one of the
first things for which we seek, is a motivo,
becuse men seldom violate the law and com-
mit grave offences without some motive.

Motive is that which operates apon the
miod of man and induces him to do some
uct, That which would bo a sufficient mo-
tive to move one man to do un act and which
wou'd be all controlinv, may be eatirely in-
sufficient to move another. And 80 when
vou Come to investigete and inquire into the
question of motive, you must look at the mun
as well us the circumstances und motiv s by
wwhich it is chiiioed that be was actuuted,

that the hens ot Hatch wont apon the oat

that, Thatthe second year thoy had like

of MceCenn were turued into the highway.
‘Phot LLatch vemonstrated and hard ‘vords
wero bud between them, That l.te in the
season they had difficulty over the widening of
the highway that passes the houses. That on
the 21st of Sept Just, they bad some d.fficul-
ty when coming home from the Sherburne
Fair.

(hia last difficulty is not dispute’, McCann
tostities that upon that occasion they did have
dithculry. ‘Tha: Hatch pushed bim down and

Tho son and widow of ILatch testify that

tho house and used threatening words and
gestures, Two or threo witnesses have spoken
of this occurrence of Sep. 21st, One or two
neighbors saw the transaction; siw Hatch
push McCann down and saw what followed,

Xt is ulyo claimed that immediately preced-
ing this homicide that these men had trouble
und controversy over McCann's fowls, |

Several witnesses hayo testified that the
prisoner at the bar at different times p inted
out to them corn in tae highway and com-
plained thut the corn was placed there by
tlutch, or hy some of his family for the pur-
poss of tolling, as itis expressed by tho wit-
nesses, meaning enticing, tho hens of Mee
Cann over to Hatch’s. And, I supposo, it is
not disputed that on the day preceding the
killing one of McCann's fowls was shos either
by latch or eome member of his fom ly.

teatifies that when he reached Paul R, Brown's
houso he heard knocking in tho roar of
Brown's houso at the back door, and heard
some call for Mrs. Brown, that soou ho saw
a woman crossing through the figlds, that
she cried out that Morris Hatch is shot in
hisown house by Fulix McCann. He seys
he recognized this woman as Mrs. ILaten.
He says she went rapidly on down to the
housa and he followed. He weat to the win-
dow and looked in aud saw Mr. Hatch lying
as described,

This woman after returning to. the house,
having failed to find assistance at Brown's,
she started across the lot in the direction of
Husted’s. On reaching Husted’s she bri fly
stated the facts as she cinims them, acd Lus-
ted sturted for Mr. Charth's, the next neigh-
bur south, Mr. Crurch and Mr. Husted
went to the place of the hoshicide” and they
described the pcsition of the body and the
condition of tho wicduw as desccibed by Mrs.
Hatch,

Ac about this hour, several other persons
Mr. Harvev, Mc. Prosser and some «th; 5s,
some of whom were crossing the fields and
some of whom were about their houses in dif-
ferent directions from Mr. Hatch’s, they all
concur in saying, that abont the hour of five
o'clock or shortly after, they heard a sharp
and loud report of a gun, and that at the
timo tho report was heard, it was light enouyzh
to distinguish and identify a person for a dis-
tance of ten or fifteen rods, and it may ve
asd tobo beyond all doubt that the gua
which these persons heard was the guu that
killed Mr, ELlatch.

Mr, Mc.'ann testifies that on the day in
question a conversation touk place ia regard
to a pistol and itsuse between Mr. Hatch and
his wifo. That be then went to Siebu ne and
was gone some considerable part of theduy,
Reaching the village ha weat from place to
place following Mr. Hatch, watched her and
saw her go into different places and -that he
kept watch uf hes and saw where she went.

witness says he spoke of as her ‘‘gume” of

The charge consumed forty mina tes,
avd was delivered in an impressive and
dignified manner, As will be seen,it was
thoroughly impartial and if anything,
leaned to meroy’s side, It was a élear
review of all facts and circumstances
connected with the csge. The Court
carefully went over the evidence of the
numerous witnesses, distinotly point-
ed ont the situation of the premises,
spoke of the kind of evidence offered
and the degree of weight to be attach-
ed to it, read the statute defining mur-
der and gave definitions of the words
‘*premeditation” and ‘‘delikeration,”
aud fioally instrqqted the jary tat
their verdict must be either murder
in the first degree, murder in the seo-
ond degree or nut guilty.

WAITING FOR THE VERDIOT.

At the close of the charge the jury
retired and the vast crowd went its way
homeward. A feverish interest as to
what the verdict would be, pervaded
the community, and the question was
eagerly discussed by knots f oitizens
on the streets, in the store.\ and ip
places of public reg ort,

At 10 o’olock word came tuat the
JURY HAD AGREED

sembled. ‘The court room was about
two thirds filled with anxious, wonder

When. wo went to press with our last,
the judge was deliveriog his obarge.
We bave been favored by Court Sten -
grapher Rose with the jadge’s charge
tu full from the official minutes, It is
as follows:

OMARGE OF JUDGE FOLLETT,

Gentlemen of the Jury :—Ta ordar to enable
you to understand euch facts aa IT may call
your atteation to, I will first give a briet
disciiptionof the locality where this homi-
cide was committed

In the sc& hern part of the town of Sher-
burne, thera is a yalley known as **Negio
Hollow ’ through which flows a stream of wa-
ter, fl »wiug to the west, aod into the Chenan-
go river,

About three-quarters of a mile up this val-
ley res des the prisoner at the bar, and vory
near him within twenty-one 1ods, or about
thut distarice, resided Mr, Hatch, they having
lived neighbors for some seven or more y oars.
Mr. McOann was tho owner of about nineteen
ucres Of land on the south side of the high-
way, and Mr. Huich or his family
were in possession of some two or three acres
on the north wide of the highway. The bara
of Mr. McUunn is some six or seven rods
from the houso of Me, Hatch and nearly op-
posits toit, the bouse of McCann, asl
have said, is some twenty ong rods further
west. About .wenty rods east of HMatch's
house is the house of Paul R, Be-ewn, Still
further east is the house of Russel Lee.

in the face
and touk the oath that yuu would tras deliv-
erence make betweea the people and the pris-
oner atthe bar, that the law requires you to
prosume the prisoner innocent, Itis of no
account to you that by public ramor he was
charged with tho murder, Jt is of no account
to you that the Coroner’s inqurst found that
he did the deed, it is of no uccount to you
Uinat the grand jury of th» county has preseut-
ed an iod ctmenut here charging him with the
ofgnse—it is wn wccus tion and notwithsand-
ing all this, he comes here with a presump-
tion of innocence, which tho law throws
around every man, Aad, gentlemen, you
mu-t determine this case solely and entirely
from the eviaence which hus been given you
from the witness stand, under the law as it is
laid down to you by the ecurt,

When crimes have beon committed, or are
charged to have been committed, one of tha
first things for which we seck, is # motivo,

mit grave offences without some motive

‘Mr. Harvey, Mr. Prossor and some «th: s,

.
Thev claimed the fret that be procured tho
aonon the Saturday preceeding the homi-
cide, and that ho procured the caps and the
powder of his neighbors on Sunday, and pro-
cured caps at Sherburne on ‘Cueraay, are in-
dications of preparation and’of desiyn.

On the other hand Mr, MeCunn tells you
that he was enguged in chopping timber in a
forest near by where guire was quite plenty,
and that he procured this gun and ammuit
tion solely for the purposa of shooting purt-
ridges and rabbits in the woods where ho was
ut work.

He has called one or two witnesses who
t.stify that some yesrs befure this and before
his house was burned some seven or eight
yeurs ago he had a gu and. that be hunted
some ; and one witness speaks of his shoot-
ing hawks and using the gun somow tat.

But it appears that for five or more years
be has not had a gue that could be used un-
til ho took into his possession this gua in
question,

The only witn:ss who testifies to the act of
killing or nearly to tae act of killin ,is the wile
of Hatch. Sre testifies that on the day in
question she wenot.1o Sherburne and returned
abuut 6 o'clock, ‘That she completed her ar-
rangements for supper which her husbahd
had partly prepared before her return, She
says after a little while she went to the recess
or alcove whicn contained a bed, for the pur- ,
pose of changing her dress. That while there
ehanging the dresa she bad worn to Shwer-
burne, her husband who had been sitting near
by smoking, rose and went to the window
and stood quite near to it looking out upon
the highway which runs past the Louse. Soon
she heard the report of « gun and the crash-
ing of glass, and her husband cried, **My
God, I am s610t.” He stepped bock and
commenced to open his clothing fur the
purpose wpparently, of making an ex#mina-
tion, that he tied to utter g6ome word, that
hoe sank to the fluor, she placed a pillow un-
der bis boad and immediately got a bowl of
w iter and 6omo camphor and tried to admin-
ister to him.

But before doing that she says sha ran to
the window and looked out and sho says sho
saw the prisoner at the bar at the fence near-
ly opposi‘e to the window, in the act of rais-
ing the gun fron the fence, she rushed to the
door. and cried; ‘*murder, murder, help,
help:” and the prisoner rau away towards his
own home,

As this evidence is the turning puint in the
case, and as the defsns) have sought to im-
peach her veracity, it becomes necessary to
inquire as to how fur she is supported cpon
this question, Perhaps the most important
witness in this connection, is the witness
Charles Junes, who testifies that upon the
night in question at about 5 o’cluck he wus
coming on this highway between Mr. Lee's
and Mr. Htch’s. That when he was about
seventy-five rods away from Hatch’s, he says
he heard a loud report of a gun and almost
instantly or in a yery few s:conds hs heard
the cry of “‘murder, murder, help, help,”
Paul &. Brown testities that he was lying in his
house, which is twenty rods exst of EL itch’e;
that he was ill; that his people were at thé
barp,+nd that while lying there,at about this
hour he heard the simecry, got up and start-
ed down to Hatch’s, When reaching the
house he looked in and saw Hatch- in the
condition Mra Hatch saye she lvtt him.

She testifi:s that after having made ar-
rangamenta, which I have spoken of, sha lett
the house and fled for usaistance, ‘That she
wont by the back way to tho houso of Mr.
Brown ; knocked at the door, and called for
Mrs. Brown, but receiving no answer, she
turned and went repidly back to her house.

Charles Jones; who was seventy-five rods
osst of Hutch’s at the time he beard the ery,
teatifios that when he reachod Paul R, Brown's
houso he hoard knocking in tho roar of
Brown's houso at the back door, and heard
some call for Mrs. Brown, that soon ho saw
a woman crossing through the fislds, that
she cried out that Morris’ Hatch is shot in
hisowa house by Fuiix McCann. fe seys
he recognized this woman as Mrs. ILaten.
{le says she weat rapidly on down to the
housa and he followed. He went to the wio-
dow and locked in'aud saw Mr. Hatch lying
as described,

This woman after returning to. the house,
having failed to find assistance at Brown's,
she started across the lot in the direction of
Hlusted’s. On reaching Husted’s she bri fly
stated the facts as she cinims them, acd Llus-
ted started for Mr. Church's, the next ieigh-
bur souche Mr. Church and Mr. Husted
went to the place of the hoicide” and they
described the pcsition of the body und the
condition of the winduw as described by Mrs.
Hatch,

Ac about this hour, several other persons,

sume of whem were crossing the fields and
some of whom were about theic houses in dif-
ferent directions from Mr. Hatch’s, they all
concur in saying, that abont the hour of five
o'clock or shortly after, they heard a sharp
and loud report of a gun, and that at the
time the report was heard, it was light enough
to distinguish and identify a person for a dis-
