“The killers must have been hopped up.
Those poor guys didn’t stand a chance.
Now, let’s see the licence. Probably won't
do much good.” He jotted the number
down. “Most likely these birds were us-
ing a stolen car.”

“Hit the bush,” he turned to a crowd
of khaki-clad patrolmen, “and give it a
thorough going-over. [rom the way these
guys hit this dead-end road they can’t
know the neighbourhood. May be floun-
dering around there yet. They’re hopped
up,” he warned, “so don’t take any
chances.”

Fifteen patrolmen were soon herding
through the scented heat of the woods,
making enough noise to awaken the dead.
An hour’s intensive beating of the bush
failed, however, to flush any fugitive but
rewarded them with the dead Inspector’s
five money bags, three partially empty.
Later these gave up nearly a thousand
dollars in silver. Evidently the killers
had found them too heavy but had scooped
up the paper currency totalling around
five hundred dollars.

Back at headquarters, while awaiting
the report of the fingerprint department,
Captain Silverstein phoned the Motor
Vehicle Bureau and learned that the Pon-
tiac was registered in the name of Lucy
Camille of New York. Further inquiries
reported her as single, aged 24 and
weighed around 108 pounds.

“Try and figure this one out,” the
Captain turned a puzzled face to Attwell.
“Lucy Camille, the owner of this busted
Pontiac’s single and only weighs 108
pounds. What would a small jane like
that be doing with this big sedan? Most
of these girls go for a flash coupe.”

“The answer,’ retorted Attwell, “is to
look up this Camille girl. Maybe,” his
eyes narrowed, “the car wasn’t stolen!”

FINGERPRINTS GIVE First CLUE

The telephone at Silverstein’s elbow
shrilled. Clapping the receiver to his ear
he passed on the information. “They've
identified the prints on the wheel of that
Pontiac. Belong to a small-time chiseller,
‘Dopey’ Marino. His last address was
somewhere in Harlem.”

Slipping on his coat he turned to
Attwell. “I’m going to look up Captain
Carey of the New York Homicide squad
and give this Camille jane the once-over.
If that car wasn’t stolen then she must
know plenty!”

With Carey at the wheel, Silverstein
headed through the congested streets of
Manhattan and finally entered a brown-
stone apartment block that had evidently
seen better days. Anxiously they scanned
the names on the mail-boxes in the hall,
redolent with the odour of boiling cab-
bage. “No Lucy Camille here,” growled
Attwell. Disappointed, they tackled the
caretaker, only to learn that the girl had
left three months before without leaving
any forwarding address.
