"The Cold Finger Curse" A Jy EDWIN DIAL TOkCtMON

SYNOPSIS Wealthy Violet Elderbank, a new-comer to Greenwich Village, gives a house-warming and invites her neighbors, June and Jimmy Kirkland and their roomers, St. Gregory Valcour, pseudo artist; dignified Douglas W. Coultney, a statistical expert and Glenn Thurber, newspaper reporter; Roger Duane, a specialty dancer, and Marjorie darken, Glenn’s fiancee, are also guests. Mrs. Elderbank’s husband, Charles, twenty years her senior, lives in Canada. Long ago he gave up trying to keep pace with his gay wife. Unknown to Violet, her handsome companion and secretary. Price Merriam, is also in the employ of her husband. Because of his wife’s penchant for wearing a fortune in jewels. Elderbank hired Merriam as her bodyguard and then arranged for Violet to meet him. At the party, Marjorie has a premonition of tragedy. She is suspicious of Cuppies, the surly butler, whom she saw talking to a man hidden in a doorway across the street; Roger is to do a Zulu dance. In preparation for it, the house lights arc extinguished. Merriam floods the room with an eerie green spotlight and goes outside to see if Roger is ready. Drums begin to boom. Just then Cuppies informs Violet she is wanted on the private telephone in her bedroom. Glenn has disappeared. He told Jimmy Kirkman he had to go next door for a minute. Merriam returns and the dance starts. Suddenly a blood-curdling shriek rends the air. Rushing outside, they find Elsie, the maid, shuddering with fear. “It’s Mis’ Vi’let!” she cries. “She’s dead!” CHAPTER VIII In the shocked silence that followed the cessation of music and drumming, the repeated shrieks of the negress were trebly sharp with terror. They provoked a stir that grew almost into frenzy. Women screamed; two fainted. There was a rush for the doors, a sudden panic to get out assailed the gathering. The room was still suffused in its blood-red floodlight, though the opening of the front hall door had admitted beams of a subdued lamp there. The absence of normal light—nobody seemed to think for the moment of pressing a switch—the profoundly depressing effect nf the prolonged and monotonous drumming, the period of ominous blackness, the appearance of Roger Duane like an apparition through smoke and flame from the fireplace, all had combined to induce a state of nerves ripe for terror. Marjorie darken threw her arms around Jimmy Kirkman’s neck and clung to him frantically. “Oh, where is Glenn, where is Glenn?” she cried. It was Cuppies who literally fought his way to the wall switches and restored the blinding lights. It was Price Merriam who telephoned for the police while other men were rushing upstairs. For Violet F.lderbank, the sobbing and hysterical maid at length told them, had been murdared in her bedroom. Glenn Thurber, Jimmy Kirkman, Fritz Runkel, Valcour, Douglas Coultney and a Doctor Furlow who chanced to be among the guests present, were the first to view her body. It lay amid the twisted folds . of the silken coverlet on her fourposter “heaven bed.” Her arms had been bound behind her with her own silk stockings. Her face was half- '■ hidden by the bulk of a folded bath towel, strapped into place as a gag by the use of stout adhesive tape. The air of the room was heavy with .he sickly-sweet scent of chloroform, with the faint, acrid tang, also, of ammonia. The body had been stripped of its Jewels —rings, bracelets, pearl necklaces, wrist watch, all were gone. She had been drugged with ammonia and chloroform, robbed, gagged and left to suffocate.

exception of the extremities was , still warm, but Doctor Furlow said life was extinct. She had not been ’ dead, he declared, more than ten or fifteen minutes. “Incredible, incredible,” he muttered, “that this could have happened—a hundred people within sound of her voice!” There was no symptom of disorder in the room save an overturned chair at the telephone table, the buzzing telephone receiver, still off the hook, and the ghastly spectacle on the bed. Douglas Coultney started to pick up the telephone receiver, but Doctor Furlow stayed him with a warning hand. “I wouldn’t do that,” said the doctor. “It’s best not to touch anything. The police will be looking for fingerprints.” “You are right, of course,” murmured Coultney. “Good heavens, who could have done this cruel thing!” Price Merriam came into the room, followed by a policeman whom he had summoned in the street. Merriam stood by the bed, his face blanched, and viewed incredulously the body of the woman whom he had been charged to protect. His lip quivered, his eyes welled with tears. He started to speak, but his words stumbled into a broken sob. He turned to the policeman and gestured helplessly. The officer, a gaunt, hard-bitten individual, had been watching him narrowly. The policeman took out his note book. “Names—full names—and addresses, please.” he said sharply. “Then you'll all clear out of this room and go back downstairs. Don’t touch anything when you go—not even a door knob.” Th<fy did as he directed, though Jimmy Kirkman grumbled about it. He had an idea that, he or at least Price Merriam ought to be permitted to look around upstairs for clues. “You can come back here if the Inspector wants you to.” said the policeman curtly, “Everything stays like it is till the men from the Homicide Bureau get here.” Additional officers had been sent, around, meanwhile, from the Tenth Precinct station. Two stood guard at the front and rear of the dwelling, while others assisted in a wholesale census-taking within and a general inspection of the premises. Sergeant Darden of the Hom-cute Bureau arrived on the scene within fifteen minutes of the time Price Merriam had notified the authorities. He was accompanied by two of his colleagues. Inspector McEniry. it was indicated, would not be around until morning. Sergeant Darden was a youngish, brisk and agile person who had the air of a traveling salesman in a hurry to catch a train. He appeared to lean forward eagerly as he walked, as he stood still or as he sat. There was a brusque nervousness about all his actions. His eyes were keen and gray, and roved ouickly from object to object. He scanned a face earnestly when first he saw it, but one careful serutiny seemed to he sufficient for his needs, for thereafter in conversation he leaned forward in an intent listening posture and looked about alertly as he heard what was being said. Price Merriam, as the one person who should know most about the house and the affairs of Mrs. Elderbank, was elected to go upstairs with the detectives. He asked that Jimmy Kirkman be permitted to go, too. “He’s a friend of mine,” explained Price, who felt desperately in need of company. “He lives next door.” “All right,” said Darden. “Get him.” The Sergeant stopped at the door of Violet Elderbank’s bedroom and looked about swiftly, in his characteristic pose of listening. “Chloroform,” mattered Darden. “Negroes.” » “What’s that?” asked Price Merriam quickly. The Sergeant did not answer. H-

Mabry," he said - tersely to one of his colleagues. i “Okay,” responded Mabry, and went out. Darden crossed the room to the ■ door of a clothes closet that stood . ajar. He carefully swung the door 1 open, touching it only with a pencil. “Hm! I thought so.” He turned to Merriam. “What do you make of : this?” “How do you mean?” faltered Merriam. “Clothes all over the floor, half the hangers empty—looks like some- . body had raided this closet, doesn’t ■ it?” “Why, yes—it does.” “Can you toll what is missing?” “Why, how could I—” “Oh, all right. Get that maid up here, Samuels.” “Okay,” said the other detective. He hurried out. “That girl found the. body, didn’t she’’" snapped Darden. “Why, yes,” said Merriam. “When?” “Why, wo heard her scream in the hall while Roger Duane was doing this Zulu donee of his. It was fourteen minutes to**ie when he started dancing, I’m sure of that much.” “How do you know, so accurately?” “Why. we had told people that Duane was to dance at one o’clock—he was tied up at Barney O’Brien’s club until around twelve—but he got here a little earlier than we expected him. I think he put on his darwe at the club ahead of time. Anyhow, when he made his entrance 1 for the dance I looked at my watch to see how close we had come to schedule. T found we were fourteen minutes ahead nf time. It was twelve-forty-six ” ‘ How long have you known this man Duane?” Merriam told him. The Sergeant asked a rapid serie’ of additional questions as he went around the room. Ho ns"d no magnifying glass, hut his keen eyes semed to require none He drew out a powerful flashlight wh’ch he used to supplement. tiie shaded lamps of the bedroom. Insetting his pencil in the mouth of the empty chloroform botlie that lay on the bed, ho raised it and revolved it slowly. It was a bottle of dark amber color and the label had been washed from it. completely. There was no name blown in the glass. “What was the value,” asked SerIgeant Darden, “of the jewelry Mrs. Elderbank was wearing tonight?” “Why er-—” Merriam hesitated. “I could not he sure about it. but I think she had-—everything.” “What de you mean, e«. erything?” “All her jewelry. She had on her two pearl necklaces, I know, several diamond bracelets, a number of rings, a diamond and platinum wrist watch." “And the value?" snapped Darden. "Almost nine hundred thousand dollars.” Darden gave vent to a long, low whistle. “Where did she keep her stuff when she wasn’t wearing it—in that jewel box the dressing table?” The box to which he referred was a -launch jewel case of sheet steel, ornamented with gold filigree work. IL was entirely empty, the lid tilted back and the key in the lock. “She used that overnight,” explained Merriam. “Ordinarily she kept her valuables in a box at the branch hank on the corner. She usually asL ed me to get them out for her when she needed them.” “And yon got her jewels out for her to-day—l mean Monday, that is?” “Yes—the ones she was not already wearing.” “Hm! I see."

Rush- | ing outside, they find Elsie, the maid, shuddering with fear. “It’s Mis’ Vi’let!” she cries. “She’s dead!” Violet had been gagged, chloroformed, and her jewels—worth over eight hundred thousand dollars—stolen. The victim’s clothes closet had also been rifled. CHAPTER IX Detective Samuels came back with the negro maid. Elsie Seevcr, a tall mulatto girl with scared coweyes, seemed to have recovered partly from the shock which had brought on her first wild emotional outburst. Her voluble distress had been succeeded now by a frightened calm—she seemed scared literally speechless. She shielded her eves with her hand, held in the position of a horse’s blinder, to avoid the depressing spectacle on the bed. “What’s the matter with you?” demanded Darden sharply. “I just cain’t look at her.” mumbled Elsie. “I just cain’t, that’s all.” ‘ “Where were you when this woman was murdered?” asked Darden harshly. Elsie’s trembling response was hardly audible. “I was downstairs •—I g-guess. I don’t know jus’ when it happened.” “Downstairs, you ‘guess’? Whereabouts, downstairs?” “In the k-kitchen, I guess, sir. I was helping fix drinks—” “In the kitchen you ‘guess?’ Why all this guessing? Why don’t you know where you were?” j “I d-don't know, sir.” | “Did you answer this telephone when it rang?” v “N-no, sir. I guess it was Cuppies answered it,” I “The butler?” “Yes, sir. I g—” Whatever it was Elsie was about to guess, she decided to withhold the conjecture, for Darden approached her threateningly, his chin thrust out. “Did you hear this telephone I ring?” “Why. y-yes, sir.” “Why didn’t you answer it?” “I was b-busy downstairs.” “In the kitchen?” "Y-yes. sir.’’ "Wasn’t it your business to answer a telephone call in your mistress’s bedroom?” "Why, yes, sir, but—” “But what?” "I—l didn’t hear it.” “You’re a liar. You just said you heard it.” “I m-mean Cuppies must’ve heard it first.” “Was the butler in the habit of answering telephone calls in this bedroom?” “N-no, sir.” “And you stayed downstairs in the kitchen mixing drinks and let him answer it, because you were so ’busy,’ eh?” “I—l wasn’t sure it was our telephone, mister.” “Didn't Cuppies tell you the telephone was ringing?” Elsie's jaw dropped. “N-no. sir. Did he say he did?” i "Never mind what he said.” Darden gra; ped the maid’s wrist

and tugged her by no means gently - toward the open door of the closet. . “What’s gone out of here?” he .« demanded. , „ ‘Oh, lawd,” moaned the girl, t “They get ’most all Mis’ Vi’let’s / pretty clothes, too!” “How much did they get?” “Mercy, they done took a lot of j her pretty evenin’ dresses. And a j suit-case.” , “A suit-case?” ’ “Yes, sir. Mis’ Vilet’s overnight bag, she called it. It was on the floor in the back there, with that u hat box and the other suit-case.” “They didn’t take this wrap. ’’ What is it?” " “It’s a evenin’ wrap. You mean ’ what kind of fur?” j “Yes.” “It's ermine, sir. Mis’ Vi’let—”

z>.v v hK I 1 ’j l “The fingers are greasy, do you notice that?” demanded Dardeg.

Elsie began to weep—“Mis’ Vi’let use’ to say it cost thousands and thousands of dollars. She jus’ got it out of storage this week.” “The most expensive thing in the closet, eh?” “Y-yes, sir.” “And they didn’t take it.” “N-no, sir, seems like they didn’t.” “Do you want me to tell you why they didn’t take it?" shouted Darden suddenly. Elsie was mute. “Because the damned thieves that killed this woman knew they couldn’t use it, couldn’t dispose of it. Every separate fur in that wrap is numbered and registered.” “Y-yes, sir. Is it?” "You ought to know,” said Darden with bitter scorn. “Get downstairs to that kitchen and stay there until I call for you again. Don’t try to leave this house.” “N-no, sir. M-mister, you don’t think I—” “Get out. Beat it. Wait a minute.” Again he grasped her wrist and this time he literally dragged her to the bed on which Violet Elderbank’s body lay. Elsie’s weak knees gave way beneath her and she crouched with a moan at the side of the bed in a kneeling posture, wailing: “Oh, my Lawd, oh, my Lawd!” Darden trained his flashlight on the folded hands of the dead woman, for Doctor Furlow had unbound her arms when he examined her, in the possible hope that life was not extinct, “The fingers are greasy, do you notice that?” demanded Darden. "Oh, please, mister—don’t make me look. ’ “What kind of grease is it? Smell it.”

"Oh, Lawd, mister—” "Do as I say.” Elsie with a supreme effort dragged herself, groaning, to het feet and bent over the still form ot her mistress, weeping bitterly. “Oh, Lawd,” she moaned. It s cold cream, mister. It’s po’ Mis' Vi’let’s cold cream.” “Where did she keep it?” "On that d-dressmg table. Darden strode to the dressing table and peered at the open jar of facial cream. "All right, you can go now, he told the maid, who vanished like a streak through the doorway. He turned to Merriam, who with Jimmy Kirkman had waited, apparently dazed and horrified. “ft looks to me,” said Darden grimly, “as though she was sitting

i 1 here at her dressing table, applying I cold cream to her face, or getting : ready to, when these prowlers grabbed her.” : “But she wouldn't have been putting cold cream on her face,” objected Jimmy Kirkman, “if she had i come upstairs to answer the telephone. And the chair at the tele- ' phone table is knocked over.” 1 “That might have happened in the scuffle ’’ “And the telenhone receiver is off ; the hook.” ; “She might have answered the phone and told ’em to wait a min1 ute— but we’ll know more about that later. I want you to show me the lay of the land around here, Mr Merriam. W’e’ve got to find out how • they got in and how they got out.” > Merriam seemed startled by an . idea. “The roof,” he exclaimed. "We never thought of the roof. They may have got out that way. Thev may be up there now, hiding!” “There are three men,” said DarJ den sardonically, “already on the roof. But we’ll go up and take a look. A brusque individual of professional mien appeared in the doorway, satchel in hand. It was Doctor Haight. Assistant Medical Examiner. «J Oh ,' hell °’ Doe -” »»id Darden. Here 3 your trouble. There has already been one examination—a Doctor F urlow who was among the guests to-night.” “Yes, I raw him downstairs,” replied Doctor Haight curtly. “How 0:.. he get in on this?
