stomach, was selected as the first
patient to submit to treatment
under the 14-foot tube which de-
velops a conservatively rated po-

RIDLEY CASE

NEW YORK, May IS GN.S0
Police, hoping to find a solution
of the mystery surrounding the
Staying of Edward A. Ridley,
millionaire recluse, and his Sec
retary, Lee WeinStein, in their
dingy sub-cellar office on the
lower East Side, today turned to
O series of CRYPTIC entries in a
coded black diary kept by Vein
stein.
These recorded the payments
or collections of money, but there
was no indication of the nature
Of the transactions involved.
Thousands Noted
. The diary. taken from the
cavern-like office with mass Of
other papers, old records, etc.
contained such entries as:
~. K, $4,000. A. B. O.,
$500. S. S., $4,000"
The diary afforded added mys-
terry when it was discovered that
Weinstein, by using the code,
had carried on a system started
by Herman Moench, his prede-
cessor as Ridley's secretary, and
first of the Ridley office force
to be slain.
Moench was shot to death in
the Ridley underground office
two years ago under circum-
stances almost identical with
those under which Ridley and
Weinstein met their deaths last
week. The mystery of Moench'S
death has never been solved.
Same Weapon Used
Ballistics experts who examined
the slugs taken from Moench's S
body, and those which ended
Weinsteins life, declared the two
men were killed by the same gun,
although two years separated the
Shootings. Ridley was beaten to
death with a bookkeeper's high
stool.
Further interest was added to
the Ridley murder when p ice
discovered that Ridley had de-
posts in cash and securities total
ing $1,00O,O00 in the vaults Of
the Central Hanover Bank and
Trust Company. In his will
Ridley made cash bequests total
ing $4,000, and members of his
family estimated the 'otal value
of his estate at slightly over
100000.
