Sister Told Story
Of Tilted Suifor

T have been going with n
young man steadily for little
over three years, but 1 broke
with him a few weeks ago be-
cause he often showed a temper
that made me frightened Of him.
NV sister Ann noticed this vio-
lent streak and took n dislike
to him.
Yesterday at 10 o'clock In
the morning this young man
came to my house and left with
my mother n package OF letters
that / had written To him.
There was nothing wrong In
this, but at noon time when 1
came out of the building where
i work TO get lunch, he drove up
alongside the curb In his car
and called TO me.
1.-THE purpose OF this unex-
pected visit was to return u
signet ring 1 had given him;
this gesture he made, am sure,
In the hopes OF reconciliation.
L accepted it coldly, however, so
he got back into the car and
drove away. That's all"
A few minutes later Gilbert
pressed a key and spoke into a
sound box:
Lieutenant Kelly. I want TO
speak To n man named lorlSe
Bodden, painter and decorator;
his shop Is on winthrop and he
live. on Kenton street. Get him
In here right way"

Manhunt Ended
AS He Walked In

He had taken his car, a Buick
sedan, with him when he left
and a description plus the license
and motor numbers were radioed
over all the Middle Atlantic
states.
But. 10 the amaZement OF
Captain Gilbert and Lieutenant
Kelly, the much sought Bodden
drove up in front of headquar-
tcrs on Friday evening. exactly
one week after Ann Ricrmaier
had stepped into an automobile
and oblivion.
He calmly walked in and iden-
tilted himself. The slRn, under
sized youth with large. somber
eyes was confident and almost
contemptuous when introduced
10 Captain Gilbert. Requested
10 account for his time and
actions on the previous Friday,
he spoke casually:
81 left my home at J sharp as
usual and stopped at q restau-
rant to pick up some brushes:
they had been left there after
my painters finished n job the
other day. From there 1 went
To my own shop, where 1 arrived
few minutes before 8 o'clock.

Police Called Girl
To Elicit Confession

Gilbert decided that the girl
might win where he was failing.
Bodden was taken to a cell
while a squad car went to fetch
the missing girls sister.
Florence, with fear and loath-
ing in her heart for the man she
was convinced had murdered
her sister. walked into the room
a conSummate actress. The
hard-boiled, on-looking detec-
tives had never witnessed so
dramatic a scene az when the
young girl. with live hate and
revulsion in her breast, walked
up to Bodden and took him in
her arms and whispered endear-
ing terms in his ear.
Bodden melted like a snow
man in the sun and slowly sank
10 his knees before her. The
girl Sensed the contriteness of
his attitude; she begged him
affectionately TO tell everything
for her sake and thereby clear
his conscience.

Affection TO Get
His Confession
BY TERRY McSHANE

A T 8 In the evening OF Friday,
"A Aug. II. 1889, Desk Sgt. AL
bert Otto OF the Damen avenue
police station in Chicago, looked
up from his desk to encounter
the large, dark, fear-filled eyes
OF pretty Florence Riermaier.
The trim, attractive brunette
was on the verge OF tears as
she explained her presence
Gam Is 25; she works at tho
office Of mail order house, but
they tell me she didn't show up
for work this morning, although
she left the house with that In
tention, I'm sure"
The sergeant was impressed
by the girls alarm. He immedi-
ately assigned Detectives Ray
mond Gillette and Tai Bates TO
investigate.
The detectives decided to be-
gin at the Riermaier home.
While driving. there with Flor
ence they learned that Ann was
a home girl who was not in
terested in men and that she
had an enviablc business record
Of not being late for work or
absent in five years.
At the Riermaier home. the
weeping mother told the officers
that her missing daughter wore
a black sheer dress with a small
green-ribboned hat when she
left for her office at 7:30.

They stopped at every house
along the route and succeeded
in learning from one woman who
lived near Ashland avenue that,
from her porch. she had seen
the girl get into an automobile
that stood at the curb near the
corner.
The officers were satisfied that
they had made an important dis
covery in the case because this
methodical home girl was not
likely TO enter the car OF any
one she didn't know. This would
probably narrow the investiga-
ton 10 her friends and acquaint-
ances. Back 10 the house they
went 10 get a list OF all the
men whom Ann Riermaier knew
even most casually.
Capt. Daniel Gilbert OF the

peat all the details.

what she had told the precinct

a moment:
