md Yards Big Six INDICATED While Under Fire Of Critics

This leak" in Sheffield reaches the
pounce. But the Flying Squad men find
that Browne is away. He has motored
to his old prison at Dartmoor to bring
a friend, convict due for release, back
to London.
Here the tale touches fantasy.
Browne drives the released convict TO
Scotland Yard where he has to report
on entering the metropolis. and then
goes on to Battersea. The waiting de-
tectives jump on him before he can
reach one of his several guns
In the Yard they are on tenterhooks.
They have got one of the killers. But,

amines the collection of guns. He

OF not being tracked that he has held

him-the guns, the ammunition, the in

Is at an end. All the detectives theories

For months they had known as much

As 1t seemed unlikely that thief would

TN India the great enemy OF thieves
is the khoi, whose name signifies
"searcher" or "tracker" and whose bust
ness Is to track criminals by their foot

exceedingly expert. They are an espe-

the parts Of the Punjab adjoining the
Indus and other large rivers. where
much grazing is carried on, are very
plentiful. These match their cunning

the public by solving two extraordinary
murder mysteries.
One was a case in which he had to
find the murderer of headlesS woman
left lying in a West End square. His
only clue was o laundry mark on a
sheet shrouding the corpse. He hunted
his man along lines which have since
become the standard method at the
Yard in the approach to all murder
mysteries.
First he asked himself what sort Of
person would be likely to commit such
a crime; he estimated the mental and
psychological aspects of the case; and
then he examined the known had char
acters who might have done the thing.
He asked three main questions: Who
was the last person seen with the VIC
tim? Who were the victims friends?
Where was the instrument used In the
crime purchased?
He got his man, Belgian butcher
named Voisin. Voisin was hanged.
The other case is known In crime his
tory as ''the trunk murder" The dis
membered corpse of a woman was found
at a London railway station. The only
clue was a dishcloth marked st" But
that clue led Wensley to the ONCE OF
