| True ;• :>: Detective Stories 1 THE DOUBLE CRIME t 5 x C.,,r1,M by Tb» Wkwlit »,a4l<kt«. J.c IT Was in th, summer of IXOB that the New Turk p<dl<.v dl|Cvv»r»d the body of a nan. evidently an Italian, concealed la a Matvei oa the Ea«t side fcvery mart, that could supply a clue to LU Idsnittt>iitk>n had been truivved —even the labels hud been dipped frviu Ida clothes- and the niaptier la which til. fu<e had been mutilated rendered him totally unrecognizable. But, Just as the case was about to be entered upon the book of New York's unsolved mysteries, It was cleared up through a coincidence So startling that no writer of defective tletlon would have dared mate use of it. On the night of the murder, William .T. Flynn, then chief of the Eastern division of the United States secret service, with headquarters In New York, was working on one of tht numerons Counterfeiting cases which occur so frequently In the Italian section of iff metropolis. Flynn himself was elected te trail a pair of Italians whom lie had reason t<« believe were working for or with the counterfeiters. The trail lad to an Italian grocery, where, from the shadow of a doorway across the street, the government detective could see Into a lighted room In ths suspected house. A few moments later a covered wagon drew up in front of the house, a man got out, entered th. grocery, and made his way lnf» the very room that Flynn was watching.

The light from the lamp fell directly upon his face, and the secret service operative realized that this must be a new addition to the gang, for be was certainly no one that he had seen before. Then the curtains to the window were drawn, and Flynn abandoned his chase for the time being. The next morning the murdered man was discovered, nearly half a mile from the place where Flynn had bidden himself the night before. It was several days later that the operative read the official account of the crime and noted that the body had been found In a sugar barrel, partly filled with blood-stained sawdust. The date of the murder, coupled with the use of a sugar barrel, recalled to the operative’s mind the fact that he had been watching an Italian grocery at ' or about the time that the foreigner : had been killed. Merely to satisfy i himself that there was no connection I between the counterfeiters and the ! murdered man. Flynn went to the 1 morgue and examined the body. The . j>eculiar shape of the forehead, the ; manner In which the hair splayed ogt j above the prominent ears and the ; bloial .stained green hat which had I been found In the barrel, told the story 1 beyond the shadow of a doubt. It was the stranger whom Flynn had seen entering the store which he had been watching! Feeling certain that here was a sign which pointed toward the operations of the gang which he was after, Flynn had the body photographed from a number of angles, while experts In physiognomy reconstructed the features to something approaching a lifelike appearance. Then, armed with these post-mortem pictures, Flynn ’ took a trip to Ossining to see if any ' of the members of the Italian colony In Xing Sing could identify the dead I man. The Idea proved to be a good one, for a convict whom Flynn knew—an Italian serving time for another counterfeiting case —Identified the photographs as being those of his brother-in-law. Maruena Benedetto, whom he described as being a peaceful hardworking citizen who had never been implicated tn any of the crimes of the Italian settlement. Working backward from this cine. Flynn and the other secret service operatives trailed the Italians whom the chief had seen in the grocery store on the night of the murder, and it was not long before they had made a complete roundup of the gang, as was to be expected in a crime of this nature, alibis were plentiful, but, as was usual, these were none too well supported by fact, and It was a comparatively simple matter for the police to get at the bottom of the case, once the Identity of the victim had been established. A judicious application of the “third degree" brought to light the fact that Benedetto had been killed because he had gotten wind of the counterfeiting plot, and because lie was the brother-in-law of the man who later Identified the body—a man who had Incurred the undying enmity of his compatriots by turning state’s evidence. The inflexible laws of the society to which they both belonged—one of the societies which rules Little Italy with a rule of Iron and a hand of blood —demanded the sacrifice of the next of kin in the event of Information being given to the police. But. if Flynn had not happened to I tie watching the grocery store the night of the murder, the chances are that the crime would still be unsolved. The leader of the murder gang was found to be Ignazlo Lupo, one of the very men Flynn was after, but the government allowed the counterfeiting charge to hang fire until the expiration of Lupo’s term for manslaughter. Another Lupe, brother to Ignagzio, escaped at the time, and was not capI tured until ten years later, although Flynn and his associates were on the ! lookout for him all that time.
