[Illegible] By Mary Helen Washington You, have always heard that "crime does not pay." But here is a startling story where crime did pay! One man out of a million who had brains & the nerve enough to murder for Love & revenge & lay the blame on his brother-------- The clock struck two, two o'clock in the morning, just then a Big Black sedan pulled up. In front of a cheap "bording house". A rather small girl stepped out, although she was 18 years of age. She was a thin, slender girl with the loveable name "Suesan". She had long Black hair & light Brown eyes, & a complexion like a baby! She walked slowly to her room, seeming almost afraid to go in. Suddenly she rammed the key into the keyhole & turned in quickly. But, but, it was already unlocked! She was too petrified to move with fear. & when she finally did start to run away a long arm reached for her covering her mouth with large fingers & dragging her in to her room! The next few horrible seconds were silent; everything was so quiet. Then out of the quietness of the night came a muffled scream. But only once did she scream for it was over so fast, all over again there was quietness. Suddenly the people under her room began calling the landlady, & said that something was dripping down from the room upstairs! It, it was blood. During this time, Dick, the man she was with in the car had gone to her room & was now ringing furiously at the Doorbell. But there came no answer. He burst open the Door & stumbled in the darkness over something warm & soft, He struck a match, It was Suesan's Body, or what was left of her body. He couldn't think, all he wanted to do was to run like the devil! So he did & on his way down he ran into the people downstairs. "Don't try to get away, [they? illegible] said, "you've got a little explaining to do!" Dick was too bewildered with grief & shock to argue so he went with them. His mother had always told him if he wanted get out of anything always to tell the truth. So he was going to take her advice, He needed it NOW! So this is what he told the detectives "I have a brother, He & I were both deeply in love with Suesan. She turned him down for me & he swore he would get even with her someday. But we really never take him seriously. Several nights ago I proposed to Suesan & she accepted. Well, last night she started fussing about me having dinner with my secretary & she kept on until I lost my temper & said, 'I told you, you little jealous Brat that I just happened to meet her there & that was the only vacant table left & so naturally I paid for her dinner! Remember, we aren't married yet!' "I spoke so hard to her that she threw her ring in my face, & said, 'As for me, I wouldn't marry you in a million years!' We
