SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystihed by
a series OF murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent to the victims,
signed with a "clutching hand" The
latest victim OF the mysterious assassin
is Taylor Dodge, the insurance president.
His daughter Elaine. employs Craig
Kennedy, the famous scientific detective.
to try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
needy accomplishes is told by his friend,
Jameson, a newspaper man.
After many fruitless attempts to put
Elaine and Craig Kennedy out of the
way, the Clutching Hand is at last found
to be none other than Perry Bennett,
Elaines lawyer and the man she is en-
gagged to marry. Bennett fees to the
den of one of his Chinese criminals. The
Chinaman forces from Bennett the secret
of the whereabouts of 100000. Then he
gives the lawyer a potion which will sus-
pend animation for months. Kennedy
reaches Benefits side Just after he has
lost consciousness and supposes him dead.
