The Mysterious 81 :

Of the papers printed the threat
Of the third murder promised
for the 18th, which was the
following day..
The police made no headway
in discovering the 13 other men
and the one woman marked for
death by the mysterious 81.
Robin Dale carefully followed
every new development in the
case, but thus far 1t had been
merely a maze Of conflicting
clues and statements. The key
to the intricate network Of evi-
dence was missing!
Maniac?
Racketeer?
Blackmailer?
Avenger Of some secret for
eign fraternity Of crime?
ALI four theories were posi-
BILE! The first appeared to be
the most logical, in view Of
what had thus far taken place.
So, on the morning Of the
18th, the police visited the
Kings Asylum for a check.up of
its inmates. Captain Blake han
died this personally. 1t seemed
very probable that one of the
insane patients might have es-
Naped during the night, gone to
the scene of the crime, which
was only q few hundred yards
distant, committed the afro
cious act and then hurried back
to the haven of the asylum.
Dale accompanied Captain
Blake on this mission. They
were ushered into the tiny Of
flee of the chief clerk of the
institution. He was William
Ostermann, with expreSSionless
features. He Squinted through
his glasses at Captain Blake as
he listened silently to the cap
tain'S request.
Ostermann was certain, be
cause of the habitual careful
ness with which the inmates
were checked up each night,
that it was almost impossible
The Washington times., 1930-09-24
By Arthur Hoerl

for one Of them to get out after
dark. It would be doubly diff
cult for any one Of them, thus
absent, to return to the insti-
tuition.
Furthermore, there had been
no record Of an escape during
the past six months. At that
time-and here Ostermann dug
into some records Floyd Esper.
q war veteran with distinct
symptoms Of paranoia, had eS-
capped and never been appre-
hended. Two other inmates had
escaped q year previous and
were still at large.
OStermann suggested that, in
order to make certain Of the
present inmates. the girls, who
had been eye-witneSses to the
tragedies and should be able to
identify the criminal, be brought
to the asylum for a roll-can.
After placing q double guard
about the place, in view of the
murder threat for that night,
Captain Blake returned to Head
quarters. Dale returned to the
office Of the Daily Journal to
get out a story on the case.
The police that night had
greater difficulty with the NOR
bid crowds that came out hop
ing to see q murder committed
than they did with the mysteri-
GUS 81. Over 1000 police pa
trolled the district. Some dressed
in ,women's clothes and sat in
parked cars with other officers
in civilian clothes.
But 81 did not appear.
About midnight a strange
whining sound was learned to
be merely an airplane circling
above the territory. In a short
time 1t flew south and diSap-
peared.
The following morning there
was another message from the
killer at the office Of the Daily
Jaurnal. City Editor Bailey and
Robin Dale discussed it before
the latter took . copy Of the
note to the police. It was
couched in the same bombastic
language as the previous let
ters.

CHAPTER III

The young lady in question
proved to be Belle Walsh. She
was the 19-year-old daughter of
an employe Of the Jamaica
court house. The officials lost
no time in hurrying to the Ja-
maica police station where the
young lady was being held.
The Commissioner, Inspector
Byrd, Captain Blake and Robin
Dale were in the party.
Dale, because Of the great
assistance he had been to the
department in the past, was
permitted to be present at the
first Interrogation Of the Walsh
girl.
Her story, oddly enough. coin
cided almost exactly with that
which had been so stubbornly
and unchangingly told by Mae
Ryerson, who was being held
in connection with Anton Kas-
per's murder.
Belle Walsh recited the de-
tails in a hysterical voice. She
had spent q sleepless night fol-
lowing the narrowing events at
Briar Road and said she was
about to surrender to the police
and tell her story when Ser
geant Jardin arrived at the
Walsh family cottage.
About 10 O'Clock on the pre-
vious night she was chatting
with Philip Armour, whom she
had known for a number Of
years, in the parked coupe at
the spot where the police had
found it. Suddenly the mur.
derer appeared at the side Of
the car and demanded certain
papers of Armour. A bit fright
ened, he said the man must be
making a mistake as he had TO
papers and started to show his
own identification cards to
prove 1t. The man walked
around the car. looked at the
license plates and insisted that
Armour was the man ne
wanted. Whereupon, without a
word of warning, he drew a
pistol and shot Armour through
the head.
In mortal fear, the girl tried
The Washington times., 1930-09-24

to escape from the car, but
the murderer intercepted her.
Believing her hour had come,
the girl began to pray. It
was his act which apparently
saved her, for the man made
no further attempt to molest
her. In fact, he escorted her
(as he had done with Mae
Ryerson. to the nearest bus
line and put her safely on
the bus.
AS she spoke Of her prayer
Robin Dale noted that a small.
gold cross was suspended by
a tiny chain about her neck.
When asked to describe the
man Belle Walsh was as vague
about it as Mae RyerSon had
been. In many respects, how.
ever, it tailed with the de-
Scription given by young Tim
Scott. There was one feature.
however, which had impressed
indelibly upon the brain Of
Belle Walsh. the murderer'S
eyes. They never blinked. she
told the police, and appeared
to be devoid Of lasfes.
This description resembled
closely the girls statement that
the man had fish eyes,"
Of one other thing Miss
Walsh was certain. It was that
apparently the murderer was
not acquainted with Philip Ar
mour, and most certainly, from
his actions, Philip had never
seen the man before.
That proved to be the ex-
tent of the first days discov-
cries. The Commissioner, who
had taken personal charge of
the case, detailed all the re.
serves available to patrol the
murder area. That was the
beginning Of what was to be
the greatest man hunt ever
carried on by the police Of
New York.
The residents of the section
under patrol were panicky. es-
