identity of the killer. Now this red
beard fellow was seen going into
Syria Verne's apartment building

vator boy on night duty took him
up to some floor other than the pent-
house. He didn't see him come down

broke into Syria's apartment last
night and found wisp of short red
hair. I had a lab test made of it,
and discovered that it was real hair
but that it had small particles of
glue clinging to it, definitely sug-
costing that it had been used in q
wig or beard or some such thing.
That ties up with what the elevator

red beard. Makes sense, doesn't it,"
