1ntelligencer, did more. John Hart
we'll. Its editor. elaborated an ingenious
theory that tried to show that Gluck
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
and discharged from the Oakland po-
lice force.
The murder of Hartwell was long a
mystery. He was alone in his editorial
office at the time. The reports of the
revolver were heard by the office boy,
who rushed in to find Hartwell expir-
ing in his chair. What puzzled the po-
lice was the fact not merely that he
had 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 en-
PLANTATION, and the chemists of the
cartridge company were we'll bullied
at the inquest. But what the police
did not know was that across the
street, in the Mercer building, room
1913, rented by Emil Gluck, had been
occupied by Emil Gluck at the very
moment Hartwell's revolver SO mys-
teriously exploded.
At the time, no connection was made
between Hartwell's death and the
/ death of William Sherbourne Sher-
bourne had continued 10 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 coroner's 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
Sherbourne's house. The policeman
crawled to a 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

Gluck made her the most amazing

Chuck made her the most amazing
presents-a silver tea service, dia-
mond ring, set Of furs. opera glasses,
a ponderous History of the World" In
many volumes, and a motorcycle all
silverplated in his own shop. Enters
now the girls lover, putting his foot
down, showing great anger, COMPEL
ing her to return Gluck's strange as
sortment of presents. This man, Will
liam Sherbourne, was q gross and
stolid creature. a heavy-jawed man Of
the working class who had become q
successful building contractor in q
small way. Gluck did not under
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. II
was on Saturday night. She had
worked late in the candy store, de
| parting after eleven o'clock with hel
| weeks wages in her purse. She rode
on San Pablo avenue surface car tc
! Thirty-fourth street, where she alight
| ed and started to walk the three blocks
to her home. That was the last seen
of her alive. Next morning she was
found. strangled, in vacant lot.
Emil Gluck was Immediately arrest
ed. Nothing that he could do could
save him. He was convicted, not
merely on circumstantial evidence, but
on evidence cooked up" by the Oak
land police. There is no question
that a large portion of the evidence
was manufactured. The testimony Of

by three .38-caliber bullets that ampu-
tatton 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 it, he was discharged from the
force. Emil Gluck's 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-
NAMED 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 a thousandfold more terror
, and achieved a thousandfold more de.
struction 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
the terrorists in the vicinity were gath
cred in by the police dragnet and
many Of them were executed. Seven.
teen were executed at Rome alone,
following the assassination Of the Ital-
ian king.

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 a resort on the San Le-
andre road. The unfortunate Gluck
received life imprisonment.
Gluck entered San Quentin prison on
April IL, 1929. He was then thirty-four
years of age. And for three years and
a half, much of the time in solitary con-
finement, 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.

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
it was miserably and criminally de-
layed by the soulless legal red tape
then in vogue. On the night of Fabru-
airy 1. 1882. Tim Haswell, hold-up
man, was shot during an attempted
robbery. by 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
to us Of today-the bungling, dilatory
pocesses Of Justice a generation ago.
Emil Gluck was proved in February to
be an innocent man, yet he was not re-
leased until the following October.

The epidemic Of the shooting of New

ror mysteries of the time. In two
short weeks over a hundred policemen
were shot in the legs by their own re-
volvers. Inspector Jones did not solve
the mystery, but it was his idea that
finally outwitted Gluck. On his recon-
mendation the policemen ceased car

Now that wool filling is obtainable it
quite possible that patchwork may take on

In recent years, since machinery for card

of the cotton-hlled quilt has declined, but MOI
that sheets of carded wool can be secure

among the producers Of the world as well as
among the consumers.
Those of US who are fairly familiar with the
important facts Of our economic life have probably
acquired them gradually and casually that
it il difficult for US to realize that the changing
conditions make it almost impossible for our
children 20 acquire these ideas in the same way.
Il is difficult for US TO realize that must actu-
ally do deliberately and consciously what
20 US informally and incidentally. But If we
give little thought TO our conversation with
children, shall how necessary is this help.
When they get past believing everything in the
fairy tales. it is time FOR them 20 know that
material welfare does not rest upon rubbing magic
rings or lamps, or upon uttering mystic words.
Our conversation with them should forsake the
assumption that the little fairies provide US with
what We need and should face frankly and d-
rectly the question of how our daily needs are
actually provided for.
The child IN the city needs TO know more about
the farm than he can learn from books and pict-
ures; and the child in the country needs to know
more about factories than he can read in a mag
azne. It may not be possible for every family
to arrange for the visits OF the children 10 the
sites Of the various activities upon which our
community life depends But il has been possible

New Patchwork Coverings

TOR the last few years the bargain coun-
tiers of the January sale have held an
article of bedding which was not pre-
viously found on them and which has not yet
come into its own in the American family.
This is the wool-filed comfort. For genera
tons American housewives made wonderful
patchwork coverings and wadded them with
cotton, and until few years ago cotton was
the only material obtainable for these quilts.
Now, however, sheets of carded wool, as
well as the ready made wool comforts or
quilts are to be had, and nothing more de-
sirable than the wool-hlled comfort was ever
invented for cold weather coverings
The sheet wadding comes in three weights,
all having the same dimensions--7a by 81
inches The lightest contains one pound OF
wool and costs about 81. 1t is designed as
filling for crib quilt and to be folded over
into half size The next heavier weighs two
pounds and costs about S., while the heaviest
weighs three pounds and costs about So. The
prices vary slightly at the sales in different
stores.
Ready made wool comforts can be bought
at various prices, from $3.50 up, according to
the thickness of the wool and the quality of
the covering.
