SB
Case of the
Dead Man's Clue
In this eerie story, a criminal is
brought to justice by the man he killed!
By WILLIAM T. BRANNON
The missing patrol car was found out
side a roadhouse in Anoka County,
Minn., by sheriff's police. Slumped behind
the wheel was the body of Deputy Sheriff
Emest Zettergren, who had died from a
single blast from his own service revolver.
A quick canvass of the area revealed
there were no witnesses, but the sheriff
knew the deputy had not taken his own
life. A broken window in the roadhouse
attested the visit of a burglar, and the
sheriff quickly pieced together what had
happened to his deputy.
Later that day, William Anderson, an ex
convict, was picked up at his home in Min
neapolis and brought to headquarters, where
the sheriff was waiting.
"You don't know what you're talking
about," Anderson cried, when the sheriff
accused him of firing the fatal shot "Why
would I want to kill that deputy?"
"You know as well as I do," the sheriff
replied. "Do I have to tell you?"
Anderson shrugged. "You might as well
get it off your chest," he told the law officer
confidently.
The sheriff reconstructed the crime for
the suspect: .
Anderson had stopped at the roadhouse
about 3 a.m. Monday. He figured there
would be a lot of money held over from the
weekend business. The place was dark,
the road deserted. The only thing that stood
between Anderson and the cash inside was
a catch on the inside of a flimsy window.
.The burglar got out of his car, walked
around the roadhouse to make sure that it
was deserted and there were no hidden
alarms. Then he went to the window, broke
the glass, and unlocked the catch. He raised
the window and hopped inside.
Suddenly, a police car drew up in front,
but the officer didn't get out immediately.
Watching from the dark interior, Anderson
became impatient and finally went outside
to investigate. As he approached the car,
,he found himself looking into the barrel
of a gun.'
The burglar side-stepped, grappled with
the deputy, and wrested the revolver from
him. Then the gun was turned on the officer
and one fatal shot was fired. Wiping the
revolver to make sure it would cany no
print, the killer dropped it on the seat
The shot had attracted no attention. The
killer got in his car and drove away,
congratulating himself that he had com
mitted the perfect crime.
When the sheriff had finished, Anderson
said: "It's a good story, but what makes
you think I did it?"
"Zettergren told us all about it"
Anderson looked startled. "How could
he? You said you found him dead."
"We did. He told us before you shot him
on the two-way radio. He saw you in
side that broken window. He called in and
told us he was going in after you."
"That doesn't prove it was me. I never
. saw that deputy in my life and he didn't
know me."
"That's right But just before you shot
him, he gave us the license number of your
car. All we had to do was trace it and
there you were."
Anderson confessed and was sent to
prison, where he had ample opportunity to
ponder modern police detection.
