the officers was stilled in their veins
unpon discovering the first clue. Two
of s-orris Jenkins valuable assistants,
one 2 blue coat and the other gum
shoe artist, while in the vicinity of
Eighth and Quincy streets heard her
scream. They started in pursuit.
Upon reaching the alley at the Heinz
ice cream factory they found traces
of blood Going back into the alley
they found more They went around
behind the factory and lost all trace
of the victim or the assassin. While
continuing the search they saw a
woman dart across the hall in the
third story of the flats and pursued
her They finally located her in com
pany with other women and began ap-
plying the third degree. Naturally The
ladies became indignant, frightened
and called their husbands. The mys-
terry was still unsulved when Peter
Heinz was called into the game to
assist by permitting the sleuths to
search his basement. Peter told the
officers that he intended to eat goose
for New Years dinner and that it had
been killed in the alley Sunday even
ing. One of the employees of the ice
cream factory did the killing and
dragged the fowl around in the
snow TO allow the blood to drip be-
fore carrying it in the house.
