The furor Rankltf expected the
death of Barbara Keith to pro
duce wag fully realized in the
early editions of Thursday’s pap
ers. They made capital of the
crime in black screaming head
lines; and half of every front
page In the city devoted Itself
as much to the facts behind Mrs.
Rowland’s suit a» to the murder.
There were articles ab^. the
manufacturer’s business Recess
and social posiMon; aad>^\>was
recalled, with some
before her marriage ■>iw.; Keith
was Barbara Webb, ah unknown
manicurist in a bpauty.ahop In
Detroit.
Yet the dearth of really mater
ial Information about the' dead
woman or her life was immedi
ately and significantly ‘stppalr-
ent. The detective read the ac
counts at breakfast.
At his desk in the Central De
tective Bureau, Captain Thomas
greeted Rankin from behind his
newspaper.
“Any news, captain?’’ the lat
ter asked his superior. "Have
you any word from Gordon or a
message from Mr. Keith from
Washington?’’
“NoT I hav^’t seen Gordon
this moirnlng,” Thomms replied,
“and Mr. Keith hasn’t shown up
or got in touch with us.
At that Instant, Johnson en
tered w'ith some papers and ad
dressed Rankin eagerly.
“I think I’ve made a discov
ery, Tommy!’’ he declared. “I’ve
just finished comparing the
prints I took with those I found.
There's one set that doesn’t be
long to anyone in the office yes
terday and can’t be explained in
my reasonable way.
“A strange set?” But what
good is that, if we can’t tell who
it belon.gs to?’’
“That’s just it, I’ve been able
to trace them.’’ '
The expert paused dramatical
ly and Rankin asked, “Who was
it?”
“In our hands several times,’’
Johnson announced triumphant
ly. “ ’.Mitch’ Riley, alias Tony
Lynch, alias a half dozen other
names."
It was Rankin’s turn to be
come excited.
“.Mitch Riley?’’ Recognition
rang in his startled tone. “Thug,
second-story man and rumrun
ner. Are you positive there’s no
mistake, Johnson?’’
Johnson extended the paper
he had brought. “Here, you can
see for yourself the prints are
identical.”
From personal encounters, the
detective was acquainted with
Mitch Riley. Originally he came
from New York, a hoodlum, ex
pug and jack of many crimes.
His criminal career began fif
teen years before.
His photographs disclosed a
typical felon’s features, with a
bullet bead, low forehead and
closely cropped brown hair. He
was about thirty-five, he had a
flat nose and heavy lips. He was
strongly built, ibyoad-shouldered
and, according to the record, six
feet tall. Even Rankin’s inexpert
eye could note the similarity of
the finger patterns Johnson was
comparing.
“It looks damn suspicious,"
Rankin commented grimly, "He
must be brought in to explain,
if we hav«Yv) turn the whole city
Inside ou^to lotote him."
Before they could depart, the
detective Gordon arrived to pre
sent the results of his hunt for
Hugh Campl^ell. Finally he had
located him at the exclusive and
ornate St. Andrew Hotel, on
Broad Street. From the registry,
it appeared Campbell. bad been
stopping there (or two weeks—
ever since Friday, May 26th. The
dlfficnlty now was that he had
not -been seen-sinee-he went~ont
yesterday;T be' had not nturned
to 'the hotel last night. At the
same time, since . his baggage
remained in Us yoornsjand he
had not chtoked out, he appar
ently Inteoded^o return.
