IT wonder If I could look
over the first two letters again.
Captain?" Dale asked after an
other stretch of silence.
Captain Blake came back to
the desk, took the letters from
a locked drawer and handed
them to Dale.
The first one, received a day
after the discovery of the mur-
der of Anton Kasper, was ad.
dressed to the City Editor Of
the Daily Journal. It read
like any one of the dozens
sent in by cranks after every
crime. Dale, however, now
studied it with renewed in

1t was from the second letter
clue to the identity of the
mysterious slayer. It was an
other letter signed with the
symbolic 81 and explained the
that Robin Dale got his first
manner Of Kasper's death. The
reason for the crime, the self
confessed slayer stated, was
that Kasper would not give up
certain papers. The note also
endeavored to exonerate Mae
RyerSon Of all blame, naming
her the victim of unfortunate
circumstances. But the head
ing was what interested Dale.

side him was a woman'S coat,

Through the license number
Of the car the victim was iden-
titled. For two days the police
traced the woman, with only the
blood-Stained cloak as a clue
and then took Mae RyerSon
into custody. They found her at
her parents home on the out
skirts of Flatbush, a suburb of
Brooklyn.
Mae Ryerson admitted having
been with Kasper. She told q
lurid story of his death. A man,
whom she could only describe
as having "fish-eyes" came to
the car and at the point of a
pistol demanded certain papers
of KaSper. He denied any
knowledge of the papers asked
for and then. without warning,
the prowler shot and killed Kas-
per. The murderer then pro-
ceeded to ransack the dead
mans pockets.
The girl. paralyZed by fear,
watched all this believing that
she would be the next to die.
However, she told the police, the
man finally escorted her to a
nearby bus line and rode with
her to the nearest elevated sta
tion where they both alighted.
The man quickly disappeared
into the crowds which were still
about at that hour-it being
only 10 o'clock. =.
When questioned by the po-
lice as to her reason for not
coming forward when the body
of Anton Kasper was found
she said that she was ashamed
of having been out riding with
a married man and decided to
remain silent.
All efforts of the police to
make her change this story
were of no avail. She had
clung to it tenaciously, hyster-
ically, in fact.

Dale rose, folded the letter
and showed it into his pocket.
"All / can say is that hell will
be loose II they find there's any
truth to this Armour killing"
Fifteen minutes later Robin
Dale was closeted with Captain
Blake Of the Homicide Squad.
Sergeant Jardin happened to be
at headquarters and was also
present. Blake read the new let
ter and for several moments
after he had laid it down made
no com m t. Finally he
turned to Jardin.
"Jardin, check up with the
stations along the Highway, in
Brooklyn, and report right back
to mel"
After 'Jardin had left Captain
Blake rose and walked slowly to
the window. He gazed out as If
preoccupied. Something troub-
led him.
Anything new with the Ryer-
son woman" Dale asked.
Blake shook his head and
then replied, She sticks to her
story about the man with the
fish eyes. Can't get her to say
anything different. l thought
she was stalling and now you
bring this new letter. Can't
make a thing out of it!"
They were discussing Mae
Ryerson who had been in GUS
tody for three days in connec-
ton with an atrocious murder
committed two days prior to her
arrest. It had taken place in
Q Sparcely populated section of
Brooklyn near highway which
obliquely traverses that borough.
The location was popular with

A quick glance at the sigma

It was signed with . SYM

Another one? What's this

The answer hurled itself at him

TURNER CLAIMS
CROSS-NATION
FLIGHT RECORD
Beats Hawks Time in Hop
From East to West
Coast.

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal, May %
Colonel Roscoe Turner today
claimed a new record for an east
west fight across the continent.
After battling headwinds for fully
half the way from New York, Turn
err landed his Lockheed Express
plane at Grand Central airport
Tuesday night, just eighteen hours
and forty-four minutes after leav-
ing Roosevelt field, L. L.
His time, as recorded by Joe Nix
rent of the National Aeronautical
Association, was just twenty-siz
minutes and fifty-eight seconds bet
ter than the previous record held
by Captain Frank M. Hawks, who
few the route in a nonstop flight
in 1929. Colonel Turner made one
stop at Wichita. Kan.
Until he reached Wichita, Colonel
Turner said he had met with excel
lent flying conditions, but from
there across the Rockies and on to
Los Angeles, his course was beset
by strong head winds and storm.
IF it hadn't been for those con-
ditions I'd have made it here before
dark" Turner said That would
have put MIN on the ground an
hour earlier.
airport attendants were ready
with cage for Turner's compan-
ion on the trip, Gilmore, lion cub,
which apparently enjoyed the trip.
The primary purpose of the fight
was not to break any record, but to
gather information on flying condi-
tions which would prove useful in
the establishment Of a transconti-
mental air express service, now
under consideration.
