One OF the most Interesting po-
lice cases that occurred I'm the
regime of Chief of Detectives
Isaiah w. Lees was that of the
brave butler who defended the
home of his employer against the
depredations of a bold burglar,
killing the robber and then call
ing the family to witness his
bravery. The butler-hero was
sIiEhtiy wounded. He wns pat to
bed and his employer lavished
gifts and honors upon him.
Chief Lees arrived. The mo-
ment he heard the story he
sconed. Then began most re-
markabIe Investigation. How he
developed the true story Of the
killing, how he shattered the tale
Of the would he hero and proved
him n murderer-these are things
which viii be explained I'm detail
In The Sunday Call tomorrow in
the first article of a most absorb
ing series written by o. HI.
Heyneman, who, for 10 years, was

Each OF the articles In this
series concerns some crime or
event well known I'm the annals
