Tenth and Buttonwood street
ststion--who were walking their
respective beats nearby, pounded
madly In the direction OF the
gunfire and converged on the
scene.
With a fleeting glance at the
PROSTATE blonde, Anders took
the front door and crashed his
way In. while Dolan swung
toward an alley alongside to
make the rear.
Before he reached there an
evil-visaged figure with smok-
Ing automatic emerged from the
passageway.
Officer and gunnan saw each
other at the same moment
simultaneously they raised their
weapons and fired.
The gunman swayed crafty
for a moment and clutched his
side as his gun clattered to the
pavement.
Then he careened against the
side Of the building and slumped
to the ground.
Dolan closed in to see how
badly the man was hurt. The
gunman's right arm was thrown
across his chest, hand hidden by
his coat.
That hand suddenly Snaked TO
life-two cruel tongues of flames
darted from a holster gun and
tore through the valiant heart
Of Patrolman Dolan, who
plunged head foremost to the
ground.

3 Dead, Maybe 4
As Hunt Begins

Some one switched on the
light while the officer continued
to stare at the stained body
before him. Finally. convinced
by his scrutiny. he said to his
brother officers:
"Yetta Cohen. It's Yetta OF
the Tenderloin."
Still another gruesome find
had been made in the kitchen.
Against the wall lay the broken
body of the beautiful raven
tressed girl. She was dead.
Three dead and perhaps a
fourth was the toll of crime that
night of Jan. q. 1888!
Even before the examination
of the interior of the house was
completed the greatest manhunt
in the annals of Philadelphia
was under Way.

The neighborhood soon pulsed
with the intermittent arrival of
tight-lipped homicide detectives.
The blonde crumpled at the
curb was unconscious, but alive.
The homicide men arrived and
plunged into what now had be-
come a den of blacklist horror.
A detective moved forward
step by step toward the living
room, and even before the beam
of his flashlight found 1t his
foot touched something soft
lying on the floor.
Mechanically he focused the
beam downward and his UNI
willing eyes followed. A middle
aged woman lay before him

ing files OF unsolved murders,
time wrought changes In the
Philadelphia police department.
Four years later, In 1887, De-
tective Capt. John Murphy was
assigned to head a special detail.
Now that he had the authority
ne determined to tackle the
Cohen case.
For weeks Murphy and his
men digested every n1orsel OF
information contained in the old
files. Then, with utmost secrecy.
they began TO study the present
habits Of those who had for
merly figured in the investi-
cation.
Detectives learned that the
life of Albert Ricci, Rosie's hus-
hand, was an uneventful round
as he daily went to work as a
railroad car cleaner in the yards
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and returned TO the modest
dwelling of his wife's parents
where he lived with his little
son. Avidly the officers turned
their attention in this direction.
No one in that neighborhood
knew, nor had the slightest sus-
picion, that a tall man with
hollow cheeks and dark caver-
nous eyes, Riccis best friend,
was really Detective William del
Tore of Philadelphia police.
The undercover work took
months, but fragments of infor-
nation began TO take definite
form.

period for completing payments,

prompted TO buy now through
fear that a dearth of supplies

Like Your New Car
To Glifter2 Better
Buy II Early
BY SILER FREEMAN

If you like your new car all
a-glitter with bright chrome
and steel, you had better get it
early. Because the consensus OF
opinion is that after the first of
the year, the chrome and
bright work will disappear off
the 1912 models, except possibly
the bumpers, outside locks and
outer door handles.
An argument has been in con-
slant progress as TO whether
the customer wants all the
highly polished metal surfaces
on his car or whether il is the
car designer who puts il on and
the public accepts II. This ar
gument will probably have a
definite answer when defense
needs trim off the glittering de-
tails and replaces them either
with plastic materials or painted
surfaces.
Most Of the car manufac-
turers have prepared for the
dearth Of chrome and stainless
steel. The grilles and other
parts now using the bright
metals have been prepared for
painting. That is, all except
door handles. locks and bump
ers. They hope 10 be allowed
enough metals for these three.

Program Constructive

Chairman A. f. Duncan Of the,
Commercial Credit Company
writes me:
II think the present program
IL constructive and should be
enthusiastically supported. ] do
not believe the control OF install
ment credit should be directed
primarily as means OF curtail-
ing the production I'm the num-
her OF units financed. as this
should be done directly with the
manufacturers, regardless Of
whether their product is TO be
sold for cash or on time.
81 believe that the restric-
lions are more for the purpose
OF curtailing the amount Of
money outstanding on install
ment paper so that such funds,
thereby released, will he avail
able for defense purposes.
81 am opposed TO debating to
the individual that he may buy
for CASH even II he sells Sc
curity for the purpose, but that
he caAnot buy on time, even on
n sound instalment basis. Dur
ing the next six months / doubt
IL there will be very great
run of In outstandings OF

after there will be a consider

Eve don't object 10 the cut
