II was a little thing. one that
the average man would have
overlooked. that prompted Nc
CHM 10 order the autopsy, an
action that was 10 prove tho
first chapter in San Francisco's
most amazing murder mystery.
The little thing was the tenn
perature OF the dead womanS
hand. When McGinn's fingers
touched the flesh he found that
the hand was cold. a process
which usually occurs four or five
hours after death.
McGinn had a growing sus-
picion that tho body had been
d u m pc d there from the blue
phaeton and that the woman
had been killed hours before!
All this was borne out early
the next morning when Or.
Charles Berger completed his
autopsy on the body The

woman had died AZ about Z

The inspector noted that
the dress was torn at the

appeared across her shoulders.
He was surprised at the
absence Of tire marks on the

was entirely possible in a hit.

Jessie Hughes.
Al 9 p. m. Capt. Charles
Dullea was at his desk in po-
lice headquarters when he re-
ceived a phone call.
Over the wire a mans hoarse
voice said:
For Gods sake, Captain,
help me! They got me. =.
Tell Inspector McGinn that
:" The voice broke of as
though some one had clamped
a hand over the mans mouth.
Capt. Dullea was on his feet
he had recognized the voice
as that Of the lawyer, Frank
Egan!
Two minutes later McGinn
and the chief of police were in
car racing for the Egan home.
"Egan left me at the house,
saying he Was going Ia do n
little work ON his own" McGlnn
explained 10 the chief. And I
have no idea Of what he was
going to- do"
At the lawyers home they
found Mrs. Egsn on the point
OF collapse. Early IN the eve
ming. she related she received
a phone call and a mans voice
told her that her husband was
being taken for a ride" and
that the same thing would hap
pen TO her If she didn't keep
her mouth shut. She immedi-
ately called her husband at his
office but he wasn't there.
The two officers rushed 10
the Ferry Building where they
learned that the booth Egan
had used was isolated, and no.
body had seen him or the men
who attacked him.
Back al headquarters McGinn
and Quinn went into an impor-
tant conference. calling in every

In The drawer Of a buffet they
found Mrs. Hughes pocketbook

garage and the house
These keys show that Mrs.
Hughes didn't leave voluntarily

"she would never have left
them behind"
McGinn walked out into the
garage and found IL neat and
clean. the floor did not contain
the usual oil stains of garage.

Wonder Bar
Bomber
Going OUer

SAMMY SOFFERIN'S plan 10
sell enough bonds TO buy a bomber
is really hitting new altitude
record.
The United States Treasury De-
partment gave this club the signal
for the take-off a week ago and
since that time, the two AWVS
volunteers who are signing up for
the bonds have hit a high of over
100000, which is really a target
for tonight or any other night
when il comes to selling for Uncle
Sam and we don't, mean Sofferin.
SO far as we can find out this
is the first night club 10 undertake
such a deal and the bomber will
be christened the Wonder Bar
when the final goal is reached.
Several business firms and pri-
vate organizations have tried 10
do this, but the Wonder Bar will
be the first sip and supper spot
to have its name on the nose of
a bomber.
Mr.. Sofferin is devoting more
time to putting this across than
he is to taking care of his club,
and he deserves credit for his en-
thuSiasm, although with steaks
rare and liquor as scarce as it is
Scotch. he has plenty Of time on
his hands.
Here's good luck 10 the Wonder
Bar bomber,
