Morris Dlehlman crossed the d to
ilet attorney'! office nd (hook
lands with the D.A.
"Hope I didn't keep you wait'
he?" Dlehlman said.
"Not at all. I believe you know
iverybody except Dr. Reldy."
rhe D.A. Indicated the others al
ready seated.
Dlehlman nodded u the Intro
iuctlons were made, then seated
llmseir.
"We've got a big case on our
lands." The D.A. allowed his eyes
vo travel around the room. "I think
t can forgo the preliminaries. We
ill know that we are lace to lace
rtth a ruthless gang of criminals
vho have been cleverly organized,
rhat such a syndicate could exist
it first seemed well, lantastic
Sow, however, on the evidence
Drought to light, there, can
onger be any doubt either of Its
ixistence or its magnitude.
"By piecing together the work
rf various investigations we have
some to one conclusion. Their busi
ness has been widespread murder
nurder for a price. Poison seems
o have been their favorite weapon,
ftough they haven't hesitated to use
sther forms of violence. It's pretty
tvldent that they are the source ol
tia counterfeit currency that has
seen flooding this and neighbor
Mod states."
He waited for a moment. When
do one SDOke he went on.
"We're getting ready to close In
n the lesser fry that make up the
irganization. In some instances we
ire pretty certain of the names
rf the ringleaders, but we daren't
nake a move until we're sure. We
san't risk an acquittal. Investlga-
rs are working on this angle now.
"As you know, gentlemen, this
Ifflce has for several months been
Forking on various aspects of this
:ase without any comprehension of
he Insurance fraud angle. Then
hen Mr. Dlehlman and Mr. Kent
approached me on behalf of the
sther companies affected, we real
ised tftiat you had unwittingly given
ds the clue that would become the
aredge to crack this gang. You've
permitted us to consult your files
Hies on death claims where you've
paid up. They've disclosed a strange
pattern. Each victim has died of
pneumonia, gastric-enteritis or
heart attack, and in each case, prior
to death, considerable insurance has
seen placed on his life.
"Obviously some members of the
Insured's family In each case have
cooperated witn the gang. By count
ing on such persons' cupidity and
greed, the ring has achieved suc
cess for a time. Now this standard
ized method of killing has proved
the one big mistake that means
their downfall.
"All the companies have also had
a number of claims for double in
demnity where death was due to
violence. You mentioned a case to
me that occurred only the other
day?" He looked at Dlehlman. The
latter nodded.
"Yes. It was on a man named
Warnock. The policy had been writ
ten by one of the agents we were
suspicious of. We'd previously agreed
that any cases written by these
men should come under careful
scrutiny. There was a definite slip
up In this Warnock case. They got
a bit too eager, or maybe they were
just too sure of themselves. At any
rate, only a few days after the pol
icy was Issued, he died In a motor
accident or so it appeared until
we had a report from the medical
examiner. This proved conclusively
that the man was dead when he hit
the water, that he couldn't have
received the Injuries to his head
and neck In the course of the ac
cident. He'd been deliberately mur
dered. In fact, he d been dead sev
eral hours before the car went into
the pit, and they skillfully framed
It to look like an accident. In the
ordinary course of events, we would
never have questioned it. '
"I wondered, Dr. Adams, If you
would give us a report of the fur
ther steps which have been taken,'
the district attorney asked. "1 had
hoped that the medical examiner
himself could be here today, but
tnat wasn i possioie.

bodies," Dr. Adams addressed the
others. "We have found traces of
arsenic in every one of them. Now!
a person suffering from arsenlcall
poisoning simulates pneumonia, i
gastro-enterltis or heart ailment, de
pending on the method and quan
tity of poison administered. It was I
a smart angle, but they overlooked
one thing, iney dian t count oni
the fact that arsenic also causes
the tissues to remain unusually Weill
preserved. Being metal, arsenic!
never decomposes: and In examin
ing the remains we've been able to
discover the exact amount of the
dosage which caused death. They
did not apparently kill outright,
but poisoned the victim over a long
period of time. '
He turned toward Dr. Reldy. "I
would like you to tell the others!
what you told me the other night.
Somehow I feel It has a definite I
bearing on the case. '
"I'll be glad to, for what It's
worth. I happened to mention It
to Dr. Adams when I saw him I
at a meeting of the local medical,
association the other night, and
he thought you might be inter
ested "
He took out of his pocket the
small cardboard box he had pre-l
vlously shown to Derna. Bttelly I
he related the events leading upl
to his discovery that the capsules!
contained arsenic.
"Unfortunately I find that Dr.
Bavles is out of town for a few
days, but when he comes back he I
may be able to assist us."
"Have you written to the Mad
ison Company about this?"
"I did better than that I wentl
to see them. They admitted it
was like the samples they've been.
sending out recently, but were at
a loss to explain the arsenic, rney
promised to Investigate, and let met
know. I doubt If It'll come to any-1
thing, though."
"It's a very Interesting point," the I
D.A. agreed. "Would you leave the
box of capsules with me? '
"Of course," Reldy said, "and
If I hear anything further. I'll let
you know right away."
Id appreciate It if you would.
Well, that seems to bring us alll
pretty well up to date. As soon
as I receive certain additional in
formation I've been waiting for.
we can make our arrests. Youll be I
getting a call from me."
