’TTFieCold Finger curse" by EDWIN DIAL

CHAPTER XXXVIII McEniry’s brow was furrowed as he talked over the new development with Montigny. “It knocks the props out from under everything,” grumbled the Inspector. “But I’ve said all along that this was anybody’s murder. Why the dickens didn’t we have sense enough to see it was Merriam? Os course he was out to crook this dame—that was his idea from the first day he went to work for her.” “The other men Callen named,” said Montigny; “are they known to you—police records?” “Yes, we know ‘Jerky Joe.’ letterman is one of his aliases. Stickup, payroll bandit, pete man—he’s done three stretches up the river, and he’s a bad hombre. Snowbird —dope fiend. Little guy, but hell-let-loose with a rod—he gets coked up when he goes out on a job. Pale blue eyes, almost no color in ’em, and he has a habit of making faces with one side of his nose, snuffling, you know.” “And the other man—Gus Heinemer?” “We don’t know him. under that name. But names mean nothing, with a thief. We’ve known ’em with eighty aliases. We’ll get both these birds, don't you worry. Callen ought to be able to help us. when he gets in tonight. I guess they couldn’t get much out of him in Montreal because they didn’t know what to ask him. Gosh, that was a break, nabbing that bird—with most of the stones on him. too. The Cold Finger Curse must have got him, eh, Montigny?” The Inspector chuckled warmly. “We approach the end of t our trail, apparently,” said Montigny without enthusiasm. “One after another our excellent suspects topple over—or bob up again.” McEniry grinned. “But that’s the way you said scientific detectiving was done, isn't it—elimination? Well, just look who we've eliminated —first the negro maid, then Duane, then Thurber—l've got to get busy and turn that boy loose, by the way —then Valcour. then Cuppies—” “Cuppies?” interrupted Montigay. “Who eliminated him?;’ McEniry laughed. “I did. Captain. I’ll tell you a little secret. Cuppies is my man. He works for me.’’ “Works for you!” “I hated to keep it from you. Montigny. but we've got to protect ’em, you know. He's one of our stoolpigeons.” “Stool-pigeon!” exclaimed Montigny. “Nothing else. We use a lot of them in New York, Captain. I’m . not so sure how your system works in Montreal, but we couldn’t do business here without’em. We get some- ' thing on ’em—enough to send ’em up the river for ninety-nine years if we want to. But what’s the use of having ’em do time in the Big House : at the expense of the state, when they can be of real service to us here? They're in among the thieves, : they join ’em in their merry little games—and they keep in solid with us by letting us know how the merry little games are going. The guy who said it takes a thief to catch a thief knew his copy-book. Captain. ] It’s the only way, in a city big as this.” Montigny seemed politely surprised. “And be was there at Mrs. Elderbank’s house to catch a thief?” “Right again.” said McEniry good-naturedly. “He was there for bait. Our boys were waiting for some of his former crooked associates to try to ring him in on a robbery. We knew Mrs. Elderbank was a marked woman—we had got wind of nice little plans to crib her jewelry. We knew it not only from what we heard from your Inspector Laval in Montreal, but from other sources here. The boys picked out the chauffeur, Cliff Spencer, for Tier, and they saw a chance to put Cuppies in where he might do the most good. They fixed it with all the employment agencies when Mrs. Elderbaiik was ready to hire a butler—she couldn’t miss getting Cuppies.” “As bait,” observed Montigny drily, “he was not much protection.” “The whole thing took him by surprise. He swears he didn't have a line on it, and I believe him. He told us you caught him tap-tapping over the telephone the other night—he was talking to Darden. He reported that way sometimes when he couldn't get out to talk to one of our men.” a Montigny gestured deferentially. i“You fooled me completely. Inspection I took him for a thief, but I did not take him for a Police Department thief. You trust him implicitly?" McEnirv shrugged. “You'd trust sie, wouldn’t you, if I knew by the

drop of a hat you could send me to prison for the rest of my natural life? Sure I trust him. We never have any trouble with our stoolpigeons—except when the mobs get wise to them occasionally, and start shooting. We've made it interesting for Cuppies—he helps us and we help him.” The Canadian smiled reservedly. “And did Cuppies have any theory as to the identity of the ‘inside man in the Elderbank case? Did he suspect Merriam?” McEniry chewed his C’lrar thoughtfully. “Duane was his pick. He said so from the start, but I’m like you—l didn't agree with him. It was his idea that Duane had got mixed up with some of the thieves that hang around Barney O’Brien’s night club, and—by the way— ’’ The Inspector snapped his fingers. “Jerky Joe Latterman used to hang around O’Brien’s —I just happened to think of it That doesn’t prove anything, of course.” “Not enough to bring Mr. Duane as high in our esteem as Mr. Merriam.” agreed Montigny, “It seems we shall have to be content with Mr. Merriam.” “Yeah. I’m going to have a nice, long, quiet talk with that bird, and see if he remembers anything he hasn’t told us yet. But we’ll wait and talk to Jack Callen first, tonight. Right now I'd better get to work and turn Thurber loose—before that fool girl spills anything to the newspapers.” “I can see now that it would be most unsafe for your friend the stool-pigeon.” “Unsafe! I’ll say it would. Cuppies would get his before the papers had been on the street an hour. I’ll have to send somebody to have a talk with Cuppies, by the way, about Jerky Joe and Gus Heinemer. Maybe he can give us a line on them. I’ll let Darden talk to him. Go along if you like, Captain. You can tell him you’re wise to his arrangement with us. if you want to, but I don’t think that is necessary.” “No.” said Montigny. “I do not think that it is necessary." In company with Sergeant Darden, he paid Cuppies a visit at the Elderbank house late that afternoon. They had an extended interview with Cuppies, but they got little information of value from him. Cuppies maintained that he knew Jerky Joe only by reputation, and Heinemer not at all. He was astonished when informed by Darden that a fence named Jack Callen had been arrested, and thaT Callen had implicated Price Merriam. “Mr. Merriam! Why. I can hardly believe it!” he exclaimed. “Have you ever heard the name of Callen before—or Schurman?” inquired Sergeant Darden. “Why, let me see. Not Schurman —I am certain of that. But it seems to me that some one named Callen had business with Mrs. Elderbank some months ago—quite a time ago.” “What kind of business?” “That I could not say. I only remember. it-seems to me, that a man named Callen telephoned one day when Mrs. Elderbank was out, and left his name and telephone number for her to call.” “Did you know he was a fence?” “Oh, no. I had never heard the name before.” Darden and Montigny parted company at the end of a somewhat fruitless hour. “Looks like we're stuck for the time being, doesn’t it?” said the Sergeant with a wry grin. “This bird Cuppies has told us all he knows— I’m pretty sure of that. To-night we may have better luck. Jack Callen comes in from Montreal. See you to-n'ght. Captain.” Ot inc sidewalk in front of Two-Sixty-Eight Waverley Place Montigny encountered Marjorie darken and a friend of hers —the recently liberated Glenn Thurber. They both hurried to shake his hand warmly. “Here’s the man.” the girl told Glenn enthusiastically, “who really made them let you go- you put sense into their heads, didn’t you, Captain Montigny?” Montigny bowed with ceremony. “Unmerited thanks. Miss darken,” he remonstrated. “But I am grateful nevertheless. Mr. Thurber himself has done more than any other person, I think, to ‘nut sense’ into our heads, to set the fumbling police upon the right track.” * “Where do you get that?” exclaimed Glenn. “I’ve been in jail. What have I done?" “The Cold Finger Curse,” said Montigny, in a tone that seemed to relish the words. “Administered by an able newspaper man. it has been a most useful curse. It has done ; much, and it will do more. It has

demoralized our thieves, dp’"" their fence to disaster— paralyzed him —" . . „ . “Paralyzed?" queried Thurber , quickly. “Who?” “Ah. that is what I have to tell - you—the story of another victim. I do not know as yet how much you can print of it. But shall we not go to dinner, we three, and talk it ' over?” . .. . ~ “We shall!* cried Marjond darken. e Jack Callen, like many of his confreres whom the police favored with i their interest, had been living the refined and opulent life of a wealthy retired diamond merchant It was i known, of course, that occasionally i he would buy stones —he loved them ■ so. Not until recently, however, had . he gone in for pilfered ice on so : large a scale. Nor had he conI sciously handled the proceeds of a ■ robbery in which murder had been involved. That he told the detectives ' who gathered about him in the bedroom of his Grand Central Hotel : suite, was what had ruined him. i Present at his bedside for the full confession he had promised were Inspector McEniry, Detective SerI geant Darden, Captain Montigny, Detective Mabry, a police surgeon, an assistant district attorney and a stenographer who took down every 1 word ne said. He had been told that his condition was extremely sericus, • he might never recover. If he made a clean breast of it all, the authorities, in view of his critical condition, would be inclined to leniency with him. Callen had the thin, austere face of a student—a wary and wily student, to be sure—but not necessarily the countenance of a crook. His forehead was high, his hair gray and sparse. His was the grave demeanor of a scientist, or a professor of Greek. He had justified his diehonesty to himself, no doubt, by contending that, though his operations were without the pale of the law, yet his dealings within themselves were regular. He paid unquestioningly a fixed percentage of the appraisal which he himself put upon stones that were offered to him for sale, and his appraisal was that of an honest lapidary. He was known in the underworld as a square-shooting fence. He made no inquiries regarding the recent history of the stones brought to him—he Knew that he was dealing with rogues but he did not know, directly, how they came by their He .preferred not to know. A stolen necklace before being offered to him was broken up into its component pearls; the stones of stolen rings were taken from their bezels. It was safer thus for the thieves and safer for him.
