case of the
human
clock
by William T. Brannon
I ames T. lyons telephoned from a drug
store booth, then went to the corner and
waited impatiently for detectives from Chi
cago police headquarters. When the police
car finally skidded to a stop at 35th Street
and Normal Boulevard, Lyons climbed in
the back and told his story:
A truck driver for a large Chicago com
pany, he had a load of merchandise valued
at $2,500 to be delivered to a store on the
West Side. While he was waiting for a red
light to change, two armed men descended
on him, one from either side. He was forced
to move over while one man took the wheel
and the other blindfolded him.
Squeezed between his two captors, Lyons
couldn't see where they were going. Fi
nally, the truck stopped and one of the men
got out. Lyons could hear him pounding on
something, then the sound of a door being
raised. The truck was driven in a building.
The bandits got out. "Just keep quiet and
you won't get hurt," one warned, jabbing
a gun in his ribs.
From the sounds, Lyons knew the men
were unloading the merchandise and stack
ing it in a corner of the building. This was
finally finished and the two men got in the
truck again. It was backed out into the
street, the door was lowered, and they were
off again.
Lyons still didn't know where they were,
but he was sure the truck kept going on the
same street. Eventually, it stopped and
Lyons was allowed to get out. But by the
time he had ripped off the blindfold, the
truck and the hijackers had vanished.
"Do you have any idea where they un
loaded the merchandise?" one of the detec
tives asked.
"Yes," Lyons replied. "It was a building
straight north on this street, Normal
Boulevard. I'm sure of that because we
made no turns. And it was exactly four
minutes and 52 seconds driving time from
here. We probably were driving about 25
miles an hour. That's the legal speed limit
and they would keep within that to avoid
attracting any attention from the police."
The detectives were skeptical. "You want
us to drive north for four minutes and 52
seconds and you can find the building?"
"Yes. But don't drive over 25."
The officer glanced at his partner, who
said, "What have we got to lose?"
1Ahile one of the detectives kept an eye
Y on his watch, the other drove north
on Normal Boulevard, careful to keep the
speed around 25 miles an hour.
At 31st Street, the man with the watch
said, "Four minutes. We ought to be close."
More seconds passed as the police car
moved northward. "Four minutes and 55
seconds gone."
"There's a garage!" Lyons exclaimed,
pointing to a building at 2922 Normal
Boulevard. "That must be it."
They stopped and examined the door; the
lock had been broken. They raised it and
investigated the dark interior. The garage .
apparently was empty except for a neat
stack of cartons in one corner.
Lyons quickly identified it as the stolen
merchandise and after a fast count said it
was all there. The detectives looked at
Lyons. "If you were blindfolded, how could
you look at your watch?" one asked.
"I couldn't," Lyons said. "I estimated the
time." The detectives were doubtful until
Lyons explained: day after day for years,
he had been delivering merchandise in
Chicago. The distances were often long and
the work was dull. To add a little interest
to his chore, Lyons began timing himself
between stops. It became a game.
He counted the seconds, reduced them to
minutes, and compared his estimate with
the actual driving time. At first his guesses
were not very close. But he kept playing
the game until he developed the knack of
estimating his time almost to the second.
It had helped to relieve monotony on the
long hauls, but otherwise the game had
seemed pointless until now.
The thieves got away, but the truck was
found intact where they had abandoned it
and all the merchandise recovered. Lyons'
employer was pretty happy about the whole
thing, and around the shop his fellow work
ers gave him a new nickname.
They called him "The Clock."
