Travelled His Whlrwind Path of Destruction.

+ Captain Shehan was the sheerest per-
jury, it being proved long afterward
| that on the night in question he had
| not only not been in the vicinity of
the murder, but that he had been out
OF the city in resort on the San Le-
andre road. The unfortunate Gluck
received life Imprisonment.
Gluck entered San Quentin prison on
April II, 1929. He was then thirty-fou~
years of age. And for three years and
a half, much of the time in solitary con-
tinement, he was left to mediate upon
the Injustice of man. 1t was during
that time that his bitterness corroded
him and he became hater of all his
kind. Three other things he did during
the same period: he wrote his famous,
treatise, Human Morals" his remark,
able brochure, "The Criminal Sane"
and he worked out his awful and mon
strous scheme of revenge. 1t was an,
episode that had occurred in his cleo,
troplating establishment that sug.
gested to him his unique weapon of
revenge. AS stated in his confession,
he worked every detail out theoretical
ly during his imprisonment, and was
able on his release, Immediately to EN-.
bark on his career of vengeance.
His release was sensational. Also
1t was miserably and criminally de-
layed by the soulless legal red tape
then in vogue. On the night of Fnbru-
airy |, 1882, Tim Haswell, a hold-up
man, was shot during an attempted
robbery by a citizen of Piedmont
Heights Tim Haswell fingered three
days, during which time he not only
confessed to the murder of Irene
Tackley, but furnished conclusive
proofs Of the same. 1t is inconceivable

nocesses of justice a generation ago.
Emil '}luck was proved in February to
be an innocent man, yet he was not re-
leased until the following October.

stand He tried to get an explanation,
attempting to speak with the girl
when she went home from work in
the evening She complained to Sher-
bourne, and one night he gave Gluck
a beating.
Still Gluck did not understand. He
continued to seek an explanation from
the girl. In fear of Sherbourne, he
applied to the chief of police for per-
mission to carry a revolver, which
permission was refused, the newspa-
pers as usual playing it up sensation
ally. Then came the murder of Irene
Tackley, six days before her contem-
plated marriage with Sherbourne 1t

by three .38-callber bullets that ampu.
tatlon was necessary. But when the
| police discovered that the damage had
been done by his own revolver, great
laugh went up and he was charged
with having been drunk. In spite of
his denial of having touched a drop.
and OF his persistent assertion that
the revolver had been in his hip
pocket, and that he had not laid finger
to 1t, he was discharged from the
force. Emil Glucks confession, six
years later, cleared the unfortunate
policeman of disgrace, and he is alive
today and in good headth, the recip-
lent of pension from the city.
Emil Gluck, having disposed of his
immediate enemies, now sought a
wider field, though his enmity for
newspaper men and for the police re-
manned always active. The royalties
on his ignition device for gasoline en-
gines had mounted up while he lay in
prison, and year by year the earning
power of his invention increased He
was independent, able to travel wher-
ever he willed over the earth and to
,glut his monstrous appetite for re-
venge. He operated wholly alone, but
he created thousandfold more terror
and achieved thousandfold more de-
istruction than all the terrorist groups
added together.
He signalized his departure from
California by blowing up Fort Mason.
In his confession he spoke of it as a
little experiment; he was merely try
ing his hand. For eight years he
wandered over the earth, mysterious
terror, destroying property to the
tune of hundreds of millions of dol
lars and destroying countless lives.
one good result of his awful
deeds was the destruction he
wrought among the terrorists them
selves. Every time he did anything

well, its editor, elaborated an ingenious
theory that tried to show that Glucl
was, after all, responsible for the muir.
der of Irene Tackley. Hartwell died,
And Sherbourne died, too, while Po-
liceman Phillips was shot in the leg
md discharged from the Oakland POI
lice force.
The murder of Hartwell was long a
mystery. He was alone in his editorial
office at the time. The renorts of the
revolver were heard by the office boy,
who rushed in to find Hartwell expir-
ing in his chair. What puzzled the pS-
lice was the fact not merely that he
ID been shot with his own revolver,
but that the revolver had exploded in
the drawer Of his desk The bullets
had torn through the front of the
drawer and entered his body. Spon-
taneous explosion was the police ex-
PLANTATION, and the chemists of the
cartridge company were well bullied
at the INQUEST But what the police
did not know was that across the
street, in the Mercer building, room
.S33 rented by Emil Gluck, had been
occupied by Emil Chuck at the very
moment Hartwells revolver so mys-
teriously exploded.
At the time, no connection was made
between HartwelPs death and the
death of William Sherbourne. Sher-
bourne had continued to live in the
home he had built for Irene Tackley,
and one morning in January, 1888, he
was found dead. Suicide was the ver-
dict Of the coroners inquest, for he
had been shot by his own revolver
The curious thing that happened that
night was the shooting of Policeman
Phillips on the sidewalk in front of
Sheroournes house. The policeman
crawled to police telephone on the
corner and rang up for an ambulance.
He claimed that someone had shot
him from behind in the leg. The
leg in question was so badly shattered

it one of the best courses in the vicin-
