"The Cold Finger Curse" X EDWIN DIAL TOFICEP.SON

CHAPTER XXII “You’ve played square all right,” grunted the Inspector. “But I’ll be darned if I know how you’re going to get out of this! Do you. Captain Montigny?" Montigny was smoking placidly. His eyes had never left Thurber’s face. “The most suspected person, said Montigny. “frequently has my sympathy.” “I don’t want any sympathy,” protested Thurber. “All I want. Inspector, is permission to write for the newspapers while I’m in the hoosegow.” “Yeah? What line?” “A series of stories. Swell stuff. Written from the inside of a cell, see? I got some great dope from the fellow in the next cell last night. He’s an incorrigible. Been in Sing Sing three times. This is his last offense. Going up for life under the Baumes Law. He gave me a swell idea!” “What?” demanded McEniry. “The Cold Finger Curse.” “The cold what?” asked McEniry skeptically. “Why, you’ve heard the term—jewels taken from the body of a dead woman—cold finger work, they call it.” “Oh, sure.” “Well, thieves think there's a curse that hangs on to the jewels—the eold finger curse, they call it. This bird in the next cell was very serious about it. He said if I was the wrong man I didn't have anything to worry about—the cold finger curse would get these guys that killed Mrs. Elderbank and took her sparklers.” “Banana oil!” said Inspector McEniry. "I’ll get ’em!” Price Merriam was required to undergo further questioning on Tuesday afternoon, but he was not detained by the police after that. Whether his "heated conversation with Mr. Charles Porter Elderbank had any bearing upon the decision of the authorities, was not a matter of record. The letters from Mrs. Elderbank to which he had referred were carefully considered, but were deemed to be of little significance. They were friendly but guarded in tone, as though they had been carefully phrased. There was in one of them a reference to a quarrel between Elderbank and his wife in the course of which, as the letter related, he lost his temper completely and “swore dreadfully.” Among other things he was quoted as having said that at times his wife provoked him so sorely he “felt like killing her.” “I guess every husband,” Inspector McEniry remarked philosophically, “feels like that every once in a while.” Captain Montigny of Montreal made a special request of the police and of Mr. Elderbank. He desired, he said, to take up his residence at Two-Sixty-Six WaverJey Place, the late abode of Mrs. Eldcrbank. He said it 'was his custom to sleep, ■whenever circumstances permitted it, at the scene of the crime. “What’s the big idea?” asked Inspector McEniry with gruff good humor. “Are you hipped on that Stone Age idea about the murderer returning to the scene of his indiscretion?” Montigny smiled placidly. “No, Inspector. It is my opinion not that the murderer returns, but that he never leaves the site of his crime.” “Oh! Clues, you mean?” “Not precisely, Inspector. Rather it is the essence of the happening that I seek—a subtle effluvium, you might say, that pervades the place —to which I, at least, sometimes find myself sensitive. There is much to be gained by absorption, by remaining at the spot, by thinking there, sleeping there, living there. “Hm. You’re one of these highbrow dicks,” said the Inspector with a grin. “However, the idea suits me in this case. It won’t hurt to keep the old optics on that house, inside and out. Darden has some men lamping the place next door, and they can tell pretty well what's going on generally, but it won’t hurt tc do as you say We can keep the

maid on the job, and this Cuppies. They might make a false move, one of them, maybe give us a tip on something.” “With your permission, then. I shall go to this house now.” "Good. And I'll go with you.” Inspector McEniry conducted him over the premises at Two-Sixty-Six Waverley Place, reviewing in detail the progress that had been made in Darden’s investigation. Montigny, however, made his own exhaustive examination of Violet Elderbank’s bedroom, of the stairway leading to the roof, of the roof garden, of the library and of the fireplace in which Roger Duane had hidden. Inspector McEniry kept up with him patiently for a time, but even that veteran investigator grew weary of Montigny’s meticulous methods. “If anything gets by you,” said the Inspector fervently, “it’ll be a couple of undernourished molecules.” , They returned presently to the bedroom. “Have you had a chemist's opinion. perhaps, of this smear on the bedclothing?” Montigny inquired politely. “Why, Darden had some one look it over, I think. But there’s not enough of anything there to analyze. It's just a smear—looks like somebody with his knee blacked up brushed against the bed. doesn’t it?” “Ah, but may we not prove definitely that it is a smear of burnt cork, Inspector, in order to incriminate our dancer. Mr. Duane? Suppose it were not burnt cork, but soot?” He indicated the old-fash-ioned open fireplace which Mrs. Elderbank had retained in her bedroom. It had been used recently on one of the chill evenings of early fall. There were fragments of burnt wood in the fireplace and several unused logs at hand on the hearth. “Oak,” said Montigny, “oak and ash for cozy wood fire. If I remember the lore correctly, the smdke of ash has a special chemical property which smoke of other woods does not have.” “You can’t prove it by me.” observed McEniry. “I use steam heat. But what are you getting at?” Montigny trained a flashlight on the back wall of the fireplace, a handsome installation of ornamental iron. “It may have no meaning at alk” said Montigny, “but I fancy I observe here a mark where four fingers—the backs, not the tips, probably—have been swept lightly in the coating of soot.” McEniry peered at the spot indicated. “You may be right, but the maid making the fire could do that accidentally, any time. Where does it get us?” -» “It may get us,” replied Montigny smoothly, “to the theory that the smear on the bedclothing was not made by Roger Duane and his burnt cork at all; that it was made instead by a person who sought to incriminate Duane by smearing soot on the bedclothing, intending that we should mistake it for burnt cork.” “But Duane was fooling around the chimney, too—remember that,” put in McEniry quickly. “He hid in the fireplace downstairs.” “He hid there after the crime was ; committed, if I have my details straight.” Montigny referred to his notes and nodded. “The lights were switched out about twelvefive, to give Duane an opportunity to hide in the library fireplace. Ten minutes later the maid was screaming that Mrs Elderbank had been murdered. Duane had had no opportunity, therefore, to get himself sooty before the time the crime was committed.” McEniry smeared soot on a elean handkerchief and compared it with the smirch <-n the bedclothing. “This won’t get us anywhere,” he declared disgustedly. “They look about the same. It might be soot and it might be burnt cork. How are we going to tell?” “Microscopically there will be a difference. We do not need to 'analyze’ the smear. The crystals or granules of burnt cork and the granules of the soot of wood sniolre have their individuality. Pcrha we also mav establish the fa-t that*

. the person who smeared the bed- > clothing also washed his bands in > the adjoining bathroom, and dipped his fingers into Mrs. Elderbank’s I cold cream.” “Heyl" exclaimed the Inspector petulantly. “Where do you get all i this stuff? Nobley has eombed this : place from end to end. and Nobley 1 knows his onions.” i Montigny led the way to the , bathroom. “Nevertheless,” he in- > sisted, “some one with slightly sooty i hands made use of this soap—either i to wash his hands or for the more i indelicate purpose of ‘soaping’ the i rings off Mrs. Elderbank’s clenched • fingers. Her fingers were quite plump, and he was in a desperate ■ hurry.” McEniiy arrested his cigar halfway to his opened lips. “All right, all right.” he said. “Go on, Captain, you’ve got me interested. What have you found—finger-prints that Nobley missed?” “No finger-prints, Inspector, but the bar of French toilet soap here—let us note the name, ‘Fallet’—is ingrained with tiny particles of what I assume to be soot from the fireplace. There are slight traces of it also in the basin, indicating they were left there recently—further use of water here would have washed them away.” “You go to the bottom of things, don't you!” said the Inspector admiringly. “Still, you haven’t established the time of your hand-wash-ing. Perhaps the maid did it yesterday—got soot on her hands, washed it off hurriedly.” Montigny raised a finger. “One more link. Inspector. Come to the lady’s dressing table with me.” He pointed out, without touching, the jar of cold cream on the vanity dresser. He spotted it with his flashlight and offered McEniry his magnifying glass. “I believe Captain Nobley's report was that there were no fingerprints on the jar?” “No. None except those of Mrs. i Elderbank and her maid.” “But the person who made use of the soap, Inspector, evidently dipped his fingers also into the cleansing , cream. For unless I am greatly mistaken there are tiny particles of soot in the cream as well.” McEniry studied the contents of the jar intently. “By heck, I believe you’re right!” he muttered. “That upsets our line of reasoning. Dar- ( den found cold cream on her fingers, all right, but he had it figured out she was sitting here at her dressing table, applying it to her face, when ; she was attacked." “And had left the telephone receiver off the hook, after talking ' over it? Maia non. Inspector. She was attacked while answering the telephone. The cold cream on her i fingers was applied by the thieves , for the swift removal of her rings. It was troublesome getting them off. Her hands were clenched, she was suffocating. One of the thieves—the one who had smeared soot on the coverlet—thinks of soap, the universal remedy for stuck rings. But the soap does not work so well —he secs something better, the cold cream. It works. Am I right?” “Hm! Maybe you're right. But why this bird with soot and cold ; ; cream and soap on his fingers didn’t leave us any finger-prints, is something you can’t prove by me.” Montigny grimaced. “He left them, Inspector. But they are not finger-prints of the kind we can . read. He is a man of great bravado ■ —as he thinks, a man of great cunning. He used collodion.” “Collodion ? On his finger tips ?” “Manifestly. It has been done. Smoothly applied with a glass applicator.it makes a clean, closely ad- | hesive coating on the skin—better | by far than gloves, because it gives unhampered use of the hands and there are no gloves to hide or dispose of later. If the collodion should break in a place or two, it leaves only distorted fragments of fingerprints to puzzle the police. There are such marks where fingers pressed down the adhesive tape with which the gag was fastened on the unfortunate lady’s fare.” (To Be Continued) Ci»pyrißht. 1131. Erfwia D.

Inspector McEniry examined the marks to which Montigny referred. “But that doesn’t get us anywhere either,” he observed, without enthusiasm. “This Thurber is a pretty slick bird, I’ll say that—if Thurber's the man." “We cannot as yet be very personal with our suspects. Yet 1 wonder if they all, as a favor to me, would permit themselves to be i manicured?” "Manicured!" The Inspector guffawed. "Now, ■ say, Montigny, you're carrying me too fast. We I as well get germs of haliI tosis and try to match ’em with 1 somebody’s breath!” “The finger-nails, Inspector,” said i Montigny amiably, “often retain , damaging evidence—particularly if I the evidence is soapy or greasy. Or ■ sooty. Suppose wo should find that a small quantity of a very rare soap l —and ‘Fallet’ is, I think, a rare and I expensive soap—had adhered to the , finger-nails of a certain person who ' ordinarily did not have access to it?” McEniry looked at him soberly, 1 then nodded. “Right again, Captain. It’s worth trying. Sure, we’ll trim up Thurber and Duane for you. Merriam, too, for that matter.” “Mr. Merriam,” observed Montigny, “h»* had his manicure this morning. We are too late, with him; I noticed his shining nails when we saw him at headquarters. Perhaps we are too late with all of j them. But one gentleman interests me particularly, one whom you have not taken in custody.” “Who is that?” asked McEniry quickly. “The artist who went next door to get his pictures last night just prior I to the time this murder was comi mitted. What is his name?—Val- ! ccur.” McEniry frowned. “Valcour? Oh, yes, I know who you mean. We’re watching him, all right. He had the | opportunity as much as Thurber did, almost, to get in on this. But Darden didn’t seem to think he was the type. They had him down to headquarters in the line-up last week, but it was a false alarm—he wasn't the man.” , “Suspected of what, Inspector?” “Oh, the boys had an idea he was connected with the theft of some valuable paintings from the Henderson Galleries, up on Park Avenue. a while back. He was present there the day the theft occurred, and was seen leaving with some of his own paintings, as it turned out, that he had gone there to sell. But he : wasn't in on it at all. They’ve ' i cleared it up, now, and got back the 1 paintings—one of the private po- : liccmen there had turned crook and swiped ’em.” “Ah! Interesting, this artistic atmosphere, Inspector. I should like : to know more of this Mr. Valcour — with your permission I should like to have his finger-nails examined.” 1 “Sure. We’ll go next door right now, if you like.” “And would you also have traced ■ . for me, Inspector, the name of the manufacturer of Fallet toilet soap? ' I think it is of Marseilles manufacture, or perhaps made in this coun- ' try with the French formula.” “Yep. We'll check that right away.” “And has your Captain Nobley i among his equipment an ultraviolet lamp and filter ?” “If he hasn't one he can get it in a hurry. I think he has used one, Captain. What do you need that | for?” i “It may be useful in detecting the presence of our soap and cleansing cream. Could he bring the equipment here, with his microscopes, or shall we go to his laboratory?” “Here,” decided McEniry. “I’ll get him tn bring the outfit right up here. I'll phone him now.” While they waited for Captain Nobley they paid a call next door. They were admitted by Jimmy Kirkman, who was nearly always to be found at home because he had his studio there.

The freighter was chartered by the Ford Motor Company to take on noon, however. A council of war was going on in his living-room, and it did not cease when the Inspector and Montigny were ushered in.

Mr. Couitney and I will go bond for him, if they’ll just be fair and fix a reasonable bail.” "My father will do it,” insisted Marjorie Clarken. “He already has said he would.” McEniry looked over the gathering shrewdly. “Hm! Quite a popular fellow, this Glenn Thurber, isn’t he ? You don’t believe he is guilty, eh?” “We know he is not guilty,” said Douglas Couitney shortly, “and Miss Clarken and I are going to see that he is given his freedom at once.” “Yeah? Murder is not a bailable offense, my friends. I’m afraid you’ll be wasting your time. We are looking for a Mr. Valcour, among others. Around here somewhere, is he?” “Downstairs in his studio,” said Jimmy with a start. “Good Lord, is he—” “Don’t get excited,” advised the Inspector good-humOredly. “Just call him up here. I want ail of you to meet my friend Captain Montigny of Montreal. He is a specialist in many things. He wants to treat you all to a free, extra-close manicure.” Montigny subjected only the men of Two-Sixty-Eight Waverley Place to his finger-nail test. He observed that ladies were forever manicuring themselves anyhow, and did not need it. Inspector McEniry made it plain that he was applying no compulsion—'f anyone objected he was excused.

Montigny did not teil her now. He merely smiled at her benevolently. . , .. June Kirkman also was indignant, but the paring was prepared for with swift efficiency. Inspector McEniry telephoned the manager of a Fifth Avenue apartinent-hotel not far distant to send him a manicurist with full equipment, preferably a secretive brunette who would not talk. The young lady who presently arrived proved to be a blonde and inclined to volubility but did her work

well, though she was outraged by the instructions she received to use no implement but her scissors, to pare her victims too closely for comfort, and to apply no polish or other substance until the specimen clippings had been carefully filed away. This Montigny did, in envelopes which he methodically labeled. The men took it all as a lark. “I had not expected,” said Jimmy Kirkman in mock rue, “to be caught thus red-handed—red-finger-nailed, at any rate. You’ll find a little blue pigment, too. Is this a free country, Inspector—l ask you!” “Whither are we drifting?” demanded Fritz Runkel, who had been striving all day to overcome the effect of too ardent beverages the night before by applying more of the same internally. “Do we dwell in a real or a fancied security? Shall we suffer this grossly paternalistic trend of an autocratic government to proceed unchecked? Oueh. lady! The next thing wo know they’ll be throwing us down and shaving us—whether we need it or not.” Fritz usually looked like an Airdale. “Be a good boy, now,” coaxed the Inspector genially, “and we’ll let you off without washing your ears. All right. You’re next, Mr. Couitney.” “I trust,” said Couitney, "it will be generally observed that I am not greatly in need of this.” (To Be Continued) CwrrizM. bj U Torjbrwi DutrlbuUd by Klmr ryttdrw Szndlryt, Ine.
