CHAPTER II. THE MURiDER OF
THE USURER.
It was late, but I resolved to rprt'l th"
riddle thnt night. There rnulil b- in
ffreat dllllcully In It. 1 would but ar mv.'Ii
the fllos of the newspapers until I f'ind
acrlme In which such a garment no Hint
old overcoat figured with inmlti('iv."
Already T had my siit-pli'lona. I iv
mombcred dimly certain details of th
murder of Jacob Kohnfeld, the usitr.-r.
Was there mt b missing overcoat In the
case?
The crime was about a month old.
It had been the reigning sensation when
I arrived In New York, but I had be n
too busy to read the stories carefully.
After what had happened, it Is safe to
say that I missed not n single fact or
theory. It was morning when I finished
my work. Then I returned to my room
and proceeded at once to arrange th"
facta that I had collected. AVhen theo
ries had been sifted out. I found tint
tho story of the Kohnfeld murder was
extremely simple. The man him' "If
had undoubtedly been what Is known as
a "fence." In othef words, a receiver of
stolen goods. His dealing had been
principally In Jewels and plate; and he
had thriven to such an extent that in
his later life he had almost entirely
abandoned his traffic with thieves for
the safer If not honester business of
usury.
He had becofne- known as one who
would wait for dead men's shoe. If
well paid for hl3 risks. Dissipated
young men who were- the heirs to for
tunes that death must soon transfer
resortesl to Kohnfeld; and he also
loaned money secretly upon th ,1w
elry of extravagant women, holding
the gems In pawn while h'.s clients wore
"paste" which he provided.
Kohnfeld lived in an old wooden Vr-.;-:e
that age had made as gray as a sp'. ;er'
web. Ills visitors came by nig'it, i r if
that could not be managed, they en
tered an undertaker's shop next upon
the right, and passed through a door In
the wall between the two buildings.
The usurer's daughter cared for his
house, and was Its only occupant. It
was she who found his body on the
morning after the crime In the room
where he always received visitors. Her
cries brought the police, and the work
of detection was at once begun. Kohn
feld had been stabtW In the throat. He
had faJlen before the door of his safe,
which the murderers had afterward?
rifled. Documents of various kinds
were scattered about tiv usurer a- !r
lay dead.' and most of them were
steeped in his blood.
As to the robbery which followed the
murder there was mu;h mystery. Kohn
feld's books of account had been
burned In a grate, evidently for the
purpose of objcurjng the. thief s trail.
However, the daughter had a fair Idea
of what was In the safe. She was pure
that there was very li'tle money and
no Jewelry of any wirth. No elknt of
KohnfeI'Vs would have 'Xpeted to find
euch valuable things thi-re. for It was
well known that he trusted chiefly in
the security of a safe deposit com
pany's vault.
In his own safe, hewevor. were many
notes and obligations, valuable only to
those who had signed them; and In that
collection lay the undoubted motive for
the crime. That It was done by one r.f
Kohnfeld's clients was nearly certain,
for he was evidently encountered face
to face, and there had been no outcry.
A bottle of liquor and two glasses on a
table were evidence that he had been
entertaining some on". The glass,
Which seemed to have b"en his own,
was crushed as If hia hand had closed
convulsively upon It at the Instant
when the fatal stroke was delivered.
Indeed, little more than the bottom of
the elass remained Intact. His right
hand had a hundred smaJl gashes, bear
ing out the theory that, as the usurer
had raised his glas3 to drink, the mur
derer had thrust with his knife across
the table.
So secret had been Kohnfeld's deal
ings that It was Impossible to learn
whose written obligation was missing
after the crime. The similar documents
that were found upon the floor bore
names that surprised even the police.
There must have been many an unquiet
mind In what we call society Just after
this tragedy, but the police were dis
creet and very little unpleasant Infor
mation leaked out. Former clients of
. Kohnfeld made haste to buy their
pledges of his daughter, If they were
able to raise the money, for they feared
the Inquest and the trial. There had
been an inquest without damaging dis
closures, and there seemed to be no
prospect of a trial, for such a formality,
requires the presence of the accused.
The police had been at work on many
clews'. The newspaper had described
a new murderer every day. There had
been two arrest, which had resulted In
the Immediate discharge of the prison
ers. The man most Btrongly suspected
was a recent client, who was known to
the daughter only as Mr. Krwln. She
described him a a t'lll and strong
young man, elegant In manners and
dress. It 'emed that the woman had
noted hl3 n.tlre more carefully than his
face, concerning which she could pay
no more than that there was not much
of It to be seen; for the man was heav
ily bearded and wore spectacles. She
had never seen him except with his hat
on a fact that I regretted, for Dane's
wavy light hair was exceedingly nota
ble. Otherwise her description fitted
Dane only too well, for beards and
spectacles can be put on as easily as
names.
There had been, missing' from the
room an old overcoat belonging to
Kohnfeld. It was accurately described,
and I oould not doubt that the garment
I had found In Dane's etove was the
one referred to. The theory of the po
lice was ithat the coat had been taken
to hide the blood stains on the murder
er's clothing. The medical testimony at
the Inquest had left no doubt that the
assassin had been drenched. He could
not have passed through the streets In
that condition. Kohnfeld's overcoat
had been his salvation.
Of course, from my point of view
there was no need of further Investiga
tion. I was confronted by a clear al
ternative: to' shield the murderer or
to give him up. -
And though I had a full appreciation
of the sacredness of human life even
euch a life as Kohnfeld's-and had
never questioned seriously the right of
our avenging laws; there was no hesi
tation in my mind. Really 1 could not
'
Irving- Bacuollor.
ask myself the question what I wotil.l
do. I knew, ns a matter of prophecy,
whr.t I should do, and that was enough.
Po long as my bruin, or my purse, or
my physical strength could Interpose
a terrier between Frederick Dane and
the law. I would ivt fall him. I loved
r'm I1' a9 11 murderer, though my
soul loathed his crime. 1 am aware
that mv conduct Is Indefensible, nnd
1 nm tb.refore the more proud of it.
Ki lends with oonsel-nces ure but fair
weather friends In a thin dlfguise.
Continuing ftury of the crime ns
it appeared In my note'. I found two
other Items of Intf rest. One related to
a footprint of the murderer In his vic
tim's bhxxl. It pcinitted of accurate
m- V'urement. The other had to do with
pome bonds which had been taken from
tb KiiTe. Thefe bonds were really
tl". onlv lntrlti'!e:illy valunble articles
kr. iwn t h ive b.en stolen. Miss Kohn
feld could rav no more about them than
tli.u her father had got them from his
deposit box on the day of bis
death, lie bad oxpei't.'d to Fell them to
a !-. m v. l-ese name die did not know.
Tl" purchaser h id not called. The
bonds w.re Issued by ti western city,
but she cui!J not tell its name. 1 hey
were inMly n.",'ollablo, and were
wor.b .itou't $15,000.
A Central OIlKe detective had woven
n Hn-r:'.in theory regarding these
bonds. He had found a peculiar mark
In the b'ood upon the floor, and another
mark on the blotting pad that covered
Kehnfeld s table. From these, by meas
urements and shrewd observation, he
had evolvol his theory that the murder
er had dropped the package of bonds
linon Its rdg" In the blood, and had
caught It before it could fall over. Then
he had wined the edges of the bonds
upon the blotter. It would be neces
sary, of course, for him to take further
pr -caution to remove the stains before
he could dare attempt a sale. He would
prolablv ser:ipe the paper. If he had
su.ceodo l in preventing the thick blood
from fully penetrating it. l'.y such
nu'.rks the ponds might be Identified
if the officer of the law were fortunate
enough to tind them.
I will say frankly that I searched
Dan's r;om for tho?e bonds; but If
th;-y were th re h- had hidden then,
too w. U for ry poor wit. It was then
8 o'clock in the morning. Dan?
seemed not to have returned during the
night. I ran out for the morning pa
pers, and scanned them with deadly
fear: but there was no mention of an
arrest In the Kohnfeld case. Sly friend
had not yet ben taken.
It was evident th: the time had coma
when I must hav? hi confidence; but I
w ished to be sure of just what I would
say. I decided to take the day for re
flection. After a brief sleep that, be
cause of dreams, was worse than wak:
ing, I went out and roamed about th3
city. I saw Kohnfeld's house, nnd in
conversation with the policeman on
that beat obtained many important de
tails of the ert me. Then I gave him
monoy and learned something worth
knowing. It was rumored, he said, that
tj,e detectives had found a lirt In Kohn
feld's handwriting of all the mony due
him. This had been compared with all
notes and obligations that could be dis
covered, and it was feen that several
were missing. The murderer had been
too shrewd to take his own and no
o:h?r.
I wen, at once to police h. adquarters
and secured access to Superintendent
Byrnes, .whom I had had the pleas
ure of meeting under most favora
ble circumstances s me years before.
I toll him that I was Investigating
the cas? in the pay of ne of the news
papers, and had got wind of a recent
ly discovered lift of Kohnfeld's debt
ors. IIj ri'.i thai there was such
a lift and that h would show it to
me; but b.- pu'. me on my honor not to
publ!?h I:. I promlnd, and he
laol the list before me. together with
another which displayed the names of
the debtors whose acknowledgments
had been found. There were eleven
more names In the fi.st list than In the
second Frederick; Daue'rname and ten
others. If he were quoted "Krwln" the
alia.' had been adop'd only with the
usurer's daughter. Hut that was a
minor point.
Vh'-n I siw my friend's name I fan
cied that my face bttrnyed no slga.
Hut the shrewd man who watched me
said at once:
"Ho you known Dne, eh? Well, he
hadn't anything to do w'.ih It, my boy.
Don't you put his name Into the paper,
whatever l."e you do."
I'm not a Hyrnts,' but I can see
through a church door when there U
nothing In the way. It was as clear to
me as daylight that the police knew
Dane to be guilty and were In search
of him. The superintendent's trick was
too old; if he expected me to combat his
f.tatemenohe was disappointed.
' We talked some minutes longer, and
then I took tny leave. I had not been
dr.iwn Into any statement about Dane,
It was not quite 3 o'clock. I went to a
bank nnd drew out all my money
about j:t,i'i). Then I secured from a
friend's safe the deeds of certain real
estate which, tejgether with the money,
made up the sum of my possessions.
Tile deeds, by great good fortune, 1
converted Into cash. Then I consulted
certain sources of Information regard
ing routes of travel, and about 8 o'clock
I dined very modestly for a man with
more than $49,000 In his pocket. How
ever, I Iind sacrificed nearly ns much

In my real estate transactions and had
no right to feel rich.
It was Just before 9 when I ap
proached ChrysalK The evening was
dark and foggy, with splashes of rain.
As I passed the side of the stone pile I
saw u man come out of the small door
theso'culled "secret" entrance. It was
Dune. He turntid toward the Square,
holding an umbrella low down over his
head.
Instantly i saw a figure start up from
the shallows and follow him. I fol
lowed, too, until at last I lost them
both through lack of skill.
So they were playing with him! They
knew his hiding place; their spy was
on his track; yet he was not arrested.
Why? How abmml not to have thought
of It before the bonds. They believed
that he hail hidden them, and were
tracking him day by day, until he
should have courage to secure his
blood-iitnlned booty , from Us hiding
place, Then the game would end.
1 had secured my money partly for
Dane's use and flight, but more to have
a bribe nt bund. It seemed that I
should have no time to spare.
After vainly seeking the lost trail I
returned In deep dejection to Chrysalis.
Its halls had never been gloomier nor
Its faint echoed more like the footfalls
of ghost. I walked slowly up the cor
ridor that led to my room.
Suddenly a form brushed by me
Dune! lie had something under his
i-oiit which he clasped against Ills
breast with his right arm.
"Come to my room," he whispered as
he passed. "Nut now. hater. In an
hour or more."
He vanished among the shadows that
stood guard before his door. I waited
a few minutes, expecting to see the bull
tilled with officers. There was no sound.
Dane must have thrown his pursuers
otT the track. Yet It could be only for
the briefest Interval, lie must not re
main there. His hiding in Chrysalis
was by this time a Jest with the police.
I rapped on his door. There was ,no
answer. I dared not call his name.
My key was In my rom. I secured It,
after a search which nervousness pro
longed. Then I returned to my friend's
door. I hoped that he had not drawn
the bolt. My key turned In the lock.
The door yielded.
I entered and was face to face In a
moment with a man whom I had never
seen before. Dane was not there.
The man stared at me across the
table, on which lay Ke.hnfelt'a coat and
the packet of bonds, with other objects
wlil'eh I did not doubt were redolent
wi'h murder.
I closed the door behind me; lockeel
and bolted It. A calm had come upon
me through reaction of the nerves, nnd
it produced a strange effect of utter
silence. In the mid-t of which I was
presently surprised to hear the throb
bing of my heart. I spoke to drown
that sound.
"You are a detective?" said I.
He nodded.
"Where is he?"
"Dane? I don't know. It's none of
mv business. I am only concerned
with these things.
He pointed to the objects on the table.
