The "Canary" Murder Case
A Philo Vance Story
By S. S. Van Dine
First appearances may deceive many: the intelligence alone perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind.—Phædrus.
New York Charles Scribner's Sons MCMXXVII
For many years I was the personal attorney and constant companion of Mr. Philo Vance; and this period covered the four years during which Mr. John F.-X. Markham, Vance's closest friend, was District Attorney of New York. As a result it was my privilege to be a spectator of what I believe was the most amazing series of criminal cases that ever passed before the eyes of a young lawyer. Indeed, the grim dramas I witnessed during that period constitute one of the most astonishing secret documents in American police history.
Of these dramas Vance was the central character. By an analytical and interpretative process which, as far as I know, has never before been applied to criminal activities, he succeeded in solving many of the important crimes on which both the police and the District Attorney's office had hopelessly fallen down.
Due to my peculiar relations with Vance it happened that not only did I participate in all the cases with which he was connected, but I was also present at most of the informal discussions concerning them which took place between him and the District Attorney; and, being of methodical temperament, I kept a complete record of them. It is fortunate that I performed this gratuitous labor of accumulation and transcription, for now that circumstances have rendered possible my making the cases public, I am able ​to present them in full detail and with all their various sidelights and succeeding steps.
In another volume—"The Benson Murder Case"—I have related how Vance happened to become involved in criminal investigation, and have also set forth the unique analytic methods of crime detection by which he solved the problem of Alvin Benson's mysterious murder.
The present chronicle has to do with Vance's solution of the brutal murder of Margaret Odell—a cause célèbre which came to be known as the "Canary" murder. The strangeness, the daring, the seeming impenetrability of the crime marked it as one of the most singular and astonishing cases in New York's police annals; and had it not been for Philo Vance's participation in its solution, I firmly believe it would have remained one of the great unsolved mysteries of this country.
S. S. Van Dine.

# The Complete Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier/The Men of Old

The Men of Old
Well speed thy mission, bold Iconoclast! Yet all unworthy of its trust thou art, If, with dry eye, and cold, unloving heart, Thou tread’st the solemn Pantheon of the Past, By the great Future’s dazzling hope made blind To all the beauty, power, and truth behind. Not without reverent awe shouldst thou put by The cypress branches and the amaranth blooms, Where, with clasped hands of prayer, upon their tombs The effigies of old confessors lie, God’s witnesses; the voices of His will, Heard in the slow march of the centuries still! Such were the men at whose rebuking frown, Dark with God’s wrath, the tyrant’s knee went down; Such from the terrors of the guilty drew The vassal’s freedom and the poor man’s due.
St. Anselm (may he rest forevermore In Heaven’s sweet peace!) forbade, of old, the sale Of men as slaves, and from the sacred pale Hurled the Northumbrian buyers of the poor. To ransom souls from bonds and evil fate St. Ambrose melted down the sacred plate,— Image of saint, the chalice, and the pix, Crosses of gold, and silver candlesticks. “Man is worth more than temples!” he replied To such as came his holy work to chide. And brave Cesarius, stripping altars bare, And coming from the Abbey’s golden hoard The captive’s freedom, answered to the prayer Or threat of those whose fierce zeal for the Lord Stifled their love of man,—“An earthen dish The last sad supper of the Master bore: Most miserable sinners! do ye wish More than your Lord, and grudge His dying poor What your own pride and not His need requires? Souls, than these shining gauds, He values more: Mercy, not sacrifice, His heart desires!” O faithful worthies! resting far behind In your dark ages, since ye fell asleep, Much has been done for truth and humankind; Shadows are scattered wherein ye groped blind; Man claims his birthright, freer pulses leap Through peoples driven in your day like sheep; Yet, like your own, our age’s sphere of light, Though widening still, is walled around by night; With slow, reluctant eye, the Church has read, Skeptic at heart, the lessons of its Head; Counting, too oft, its living members less Than the wall’s garnish and the pulpit’s dress; World-moving zeal, with power to bless and feed
Life’s fainting pilgrims, to their utter need, Instead of bread, holds out the stone of creed; Sect builds and worships where its wealth and pride And vanity stand shrined and deified, Careless that in the shadow of its walls God’s living temple into ruin falls. We need, methinks, the prophet-hero still, Saints true of life, and martyrs strong of will, To tread the land, even now, as Xavier trod The streets of Goa, barefoot, with his bell, Proclaiming freedom in the name of God, And startling tyrants with the fear of hell! Soft words, smooth prophecies, are doubtless well; But to rebuke the age’s popular crime, We need the souls of fire, the hearts of that old time!

Again, Hipparchos, in the 2nd volnme of his commentary, charges Eratosthenês himself with throwing discredit on Patroklês for differing from Megasthenês abont the length of India on its northern side, Megasthenês making it 16,000 stadia, and Patroklês 1000 less.

[From this, one can readily see how the accounts of the other writers vary from one an- other. Thus Ktêsias says that India is not of less size than the rest of Asia; Onêsikritos regards it as the third part of the habitable world; and Nearchos says it takes one four months to traverse the plain only.] Megasthenês and Dêimachos incline to ba more moderate in their estimate, for according to them the distance from the Southern Sea to Kaukasos is over 20,000 stadia.—[Dêimachos, however, allows that the distance in soma places exceeds 30,000 stadia. Of these notice has been taken in an earlier part of the work.]

Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
No. 71-951. Argued: October 18, 1972 --- Decided: January 16, 1973
Before and during the last of several successive leases, petitioner made substantial and permanent improvements that had a useful life in excess of the remaining lease term. With 7½ years to run on the then-current lease term, the United States contracted to acquire the underlying fee and began condemnation proceedings for the leasehold. The Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's ruling that just compensation required that the improvements be valued in place over their useful life without limitation to the remainder of the lease term.
Held: In a condemnation proceeding, the concept of "just compensation" is measured by what a willing buyer would have paid for the improvements, taking into account the possibility that the lease might be renewed as well as that it might not. Pp. 473-478.
450 F.2d 125, reversed and District Court judgment reinstated.
