 It was in college that Bentley first became interested in philosophy-and dentistry. After his arrest he told police he had taken a dental course, but his mother and people who had known him as boy denied this.
 When his father died, young Bentley was made president of the bank, By astute business deals he made large fortune within few years, and then, wearying of finance. he retired, to de- vote himself to philosophy, dancing and his secret obSession.
 Nearly every year he returned to Cornell and other colleges for post graduate courses in philosophy and other profound subjects. And wher- ever he went he carried his kit-oag of expensive dental instruments.
 He was always drawn to women by the same thing, and his opening re- mark, What lovely teeth you have" never varied.
 If they seemed pleased at his admira. ton, he confded to them that he had once studied dentistry, and, if they liked, he would be delighted to examine such extraordinary teeth.
 To the hundreds who allowed him this liberty he would conide that one or more of the bicuspds, incisors or molars should be removed to safeguard the other teeth.
 Next, the kind MT. Bentley would offer to remove the infected member without charge. His manner was so fatherly, so gentle that few women could refuse him. A quick extraction of a perfect tooth would follow
 For this amateur dentist was not the slightest bit interested in anything but flawless teeth. The innocent young victim of his peculiar mania would sel- dom afterwards question him. In most cases both parties were pleased at the result of the operation.
 The girl usually complimented her self on saving a dentists fee and Bent. ley had one or more specimens to add to his growing collection.
 As the years went on, the retired banker was hsunded by the necessity of pulling more and more teeth. He went to New York and joined classes at Columbia University, where he met young girl students and tried to in- veigle them into allowing him to play the rolsaof dentist.
 Nights he spent in dance halls. The ignorant hostesses he found there proved fertile field for his dental

 Two days after they disappeared, the four girls, Edith Spurr, l5; Helen Holbrook and Madeline Shepherd, each IT, and Ethel kennard, IS, all members of rich and socially promi- nent families, were found peacefully sleeping in a Fitchburg hotel only 35 miles away from their school.
 After their happy parents and re- lieved officials who found them had time to regain their breath, the girls told their story:
 "We just couldn't stand those rules" they said, "so we had consultation and decided to take French leave.

One morning his brother, Frank C. Bentley, visited the rich bachelors home. Servants told him Elwyn had not come down yet. Frank went up stairs. The bed had not been slept in. He pushed his way into the bathroom.
 Lying in the tub in a silk dressing gown was the amateur dentists lifeless body. Blood Streamed from his head. On the floor lay a revolver.
 Unable to bear the thought that he might never be able again to indulge his fantastic love for pulling women's teeth, Elwyn Bentley had committed suicide. Truly piece of ghastly logic, worthy of Edgar Allan Poe'S frenzied imagination.

In his hotel room police found thirty-six teeth and three expensive sets of dental instruments. A few days previously, he said, he had driven to Joplin and drawn the thirty-six teeth from the mouths of women there.
 After posting his bond, Bentley re- turned to his luxurious Springfield home to await trial. His lawyers as sured him that he had an excellent chance of beating the rap because of the Missouri statute of limitations.
 Nevertheless, Bentley brooded. Even if freed, news of his arrest had been broadcast and he would experience great difficulty in finding new patients. That was all he cared about.

 Thus naively did four flapper stu dents of the fashionable Whittier School for Girls of Merrimac, MasSa- chusetts, explain their mysterious vanishing which prostrated their school principal, threw their wealthy parents into a panic and set half of New Eng land looking for them.
 Memories of two Smith College girls, Alice Corbett and Frances St. John Smith, who similarly disappeared, never to be found alive again, had spurred on the search for the girls.
 When the absence of the four girls was first noticed, nasty check-ups dis closed that the runaway quartet had smuggled out their clothes and blan-

 When in Springfield he amused him self with his dancing school and in his undercover tooth-puliing.
 It was in St. Louis that this strange man met his Waterloo. About two years ago he was introduced to Mrs, Mildred Rankin, a pretty matron of the Missouri metropolis. Bentley told her he was dentist from New York
 'I have never in all my professional experience seen such marvellous teeth, " he exclaimed. They have been inn properly cleaned, however have some special powder that would i'm prove them vastly. Might demon strate it?"
 Mrs. Rankin was reticent She had her own dentist, and preferred to patronize him.

 She was finally convinced, and they

 T will make up for it by doing any extracting work you may need" he added humbly.
 Mrs. Rankin made an appointment for the following day and then notified city d e [ e c tives. When Bentley ar rived at the meet ing place he was promptly arrested.
