Already the police have found that the cord which nearly cost Mrs. Johnson her life was similar to that which bound the hands and feet of Herbert Bartlett, a silk merchant, robbed by three weeks ago, and to that used in a robbery of the apartment of Mrs. Mildred Ford, who has identified Lesser as her assailant.
