I Dallas Mallison 1 i BROADWAY AND MAIN STRCBT Hugger Mugger in the Automat Cieared Up by a Patient Cop _By BILLY ROSE As a burglaree, I've done a considerable amount of hanging around police stations lately, and I've made a highly edifying dis covery_the average New York detective is plenty smart and, con sidering how of them there arc. gets plenty of results. To Jive you an idea of what the ordinary cop can do once he gets go ing, let me tell you the classic story of Detective Patty MacVeigh and how he solved the case usually referred to os "Hugger-Mugger in Automat.” the On# morning in Aligns;, .\o people „ied suddenly and within a few minute* of #gri other In the nickel - In - the slot restaurant at Broadway and 104th street. One, a dowdy old dame named Lil lian Rosenfeld, keeled over in the restaurant's mez zanine, and the other, a middle aged garageman named Harry -Tel linek, was found outside the little boys' room in the basement. The coroner certified that both deaths were caused by a powerful dose of cyanide of potassium. Was it a case ol double mur der? It as it double suicide? Or li as it murder and suicide? Detective Patty MacVeigh was nanded this sizzling spud, and went about cooling it off not like a Sher lock Holmes but like an ordinary policeman. He started by question where the victims had lived, Inch ing everyone in the neighborhoods by-inched the tenement flats they had called their homes; jig-sawed together a lot of biograpnical bits and pieces, and came up with a so lution so simple that no one con nected with the case could imagine why it hadn’t been thought of right away. Jellinek's past was reconstructed easily enough. Starting as a helper in a garage, he had managed to save enough to buy his own busi ness, and his garage had prospered until the depression hit it. When things got tough, he borrowed $150 from a bank, and when he couldn’t Billy Ro*e meet the note on July 1. he was tUrp5»tpr>?^ with foreclosure. Figuring he had nothing to live for. he purchased $3 worth of pow dered cyanide and then, with his last nickel, bought himself a poppy seed roll at the Automat He dug a hole in it, poured the powder in, bit off as much as he could chew and headed for the men’s room. At the foot of the stairs he collapsed and died. So far, so dear. Serf, Mac \’eig/.i vent to work on I.Mian l*o■ enfdd. She had been a harm less old bat who scavenged around junk heaps, and for 28 years had liied in a 57-a-month basement room which was filled with everything from old piano tolls to a rusty weather vane. From employees of the Automat, the detective learned that on sev eral occasions the old dame had parked herself in the mezzanine where she could watch the tables on the main floor, and when some one left without finishing a meal, she would hurry down and eat the remains or scoop them into a paper bag. That finished the C3se. Obviously the scavenger had seen Jeilihek ; leave part of his roll and had popped j the half-eaten bun into her mouth. MacVeigh’s investigation uncov- ! ered an additional irony. While sift ing through the hodge-podge In Lil lian's room, he found six bankbooks which showed she had $45,000 stashed in various banks in Man hattan and New Jersey. The annual interest on her nest egg was $1,200, or eight times the amount Jellinek needed to save his garage and life. mil Della Kate Ward, and Fran ■es Knight.
