It’s the first case I’ve seen in a long time where a bird went out looking for a thrill and actually found one. And at that, the thrill that Ben Cohn of New York City met up with in the murdered woman’s bedroom was not at all the sort of thrill he had gone there looking for. But it seems that Old Lady Adventure covered his initial bet and raised him ten, v big, blue-chip goose-pimples. Ben is a newspaper reporter, so looking for trouble la no more than part of the day’s work for him. In January, 1932, he was just v a cub, helping out the police reporter on a Cleveland, Ohio, news paper. All the small, routine assignments fell to Ben’s lot He was kept busy all day, chasing around to dinky, one-alarm fires, and listening to the sorry tale of Joe Doakes who had his hat stolen while eating in a one-arm lunch room. Ben was bored stiff with that sort of thing. He wanted to get that news nose of his into something exciting for a change. There was a maniac killer running around town at the time. He had killed half a dozen women—hacked them to pieces as they lay in their beds. What wouldn’t Ben have given for a chance to cover that story? Boy! Just lead him to it! That’s about the way Ben was feeling one Friday afternoon, when suddenly the police radio began booming out a message. ‘‘Number one reserve squad and detective cruiser D-2,” the loudspeaker cried. "Go to Nineteenth and Chester—red brick apartment house. You will find the body of a young woman who has been murdered.” Ben’s Chance at a Big Story. Ben was beside himself with excitement. Nineteenth and Chester was only a block away from police headquarters, where they were sit ting, and Ben began to plead with his boss to let him cover that story. He was the most surprised kid in the world when he heard the boss say: "All right, kid—go to it,” but he didn’t waste any time getting out of the station. He set out on a dead run for the apartment house a block away. The reserve squad had to go down in the basement to get their car before they started, so Ben, on foot, beat the cops to the scene by a full Needs a Trimming Rastus—Doan you start no fight with me, man. Ah was decorated for bravery in de World war. Sambo—Maybe yo wuz, but in mah ‘pinion it’s given yo sech a swell haid yo is ’bout ripe to be redecorated. Two Men—Both Fighting for Their Lives. three minutes. A small crowd had collected In front of the apartment house as Ben ran in. "She’s upstairs," a woman shouted. And in a. few leaps Ben had made the second floor. He burst into the room, and there on the bed lay a blonde girl beautiful even in death, except for her blood-drenched throat, from which a pair of six-inch paper shears protruded. Ben closed the door while he looked over the room. The first question that popped into his mind was: "Where is the murder er?” And the next thought thst occurred to him was not such a pleasant one. “Suppose,” Ben thought, "the murderer Is still here—hiding somewhere in the room?” The thought had no more than occurred to Ben when it actually, literally came true. Ben was standing before the dresser looking for a picture of the slain woman when he glanced into the mirror and saw something that made the cold shivers gallop up and down his spine. In that mirror he could see the door of the clothes closet behind him. AND THAT DOOR WAS SLOWLY OPENING! Battling the Murderer for His Life. Ben stiffened. The door swung wide open and a big, heavy-set colored man came tiptoeing in Ben’s direction. He had a huge club in his band and as he came close to Ben he raised it to strike. Ben didn’t wait for any more. He wheeled and dived to get inside the arc of that swinging club. He grappled with the negro as the clnb came down and the negro dropped the chib to grapple with Ben. Then came a battle like the Roman gladiatorial con tests of old. Two men, going at it bare-handed—both fighting for their Uvea. The colored man was much larger and much stronger than Ben. He pushed Ben backward by sheer weight alone. Before he realized what was happening, he was thrown back onto the bed and found him self rolling over the blood-drenched body of the dead girl. It was hor rible. But what was more horrible still were the fingers of the big negro, which were fastening themselves tightly around Ben’s throat Police Got There Just in Time. Before that Ben had been too surprised to cry out Now, as the ne gro’s fingers closed over his windpipe he wished he had when he had the chance. With his own hands he fought vainly to dislodge those tightening fingers, but it was no use. He kicked and heaved desper ately, trying to throw the negro off him. But that wasn’t any use, either. The negro’s body was heavier than his own. Ben’s head began to spin. Things began to go black in front of his eyes. Then, just as he was shout to give up and relax the door burst open and the room was full of policemen. The re serve squad had come at last. Ben had not been working long around police headquarters and not many of the cops knew him. Even if they had thqy would never have recognized him, for his clothing was disheveled and he was blood from head to foot. He looked like a mighty suspicious customer to those cops. And Ben had to admit that being caught fighting ever the body of a murdered woman was a mighty suspicious circumstance. The cops arrested both Ben and the colored man and dragged them back to the police station. But there Ben was identified by his boss, and the negro admitted the killing. He was electrocuted in July of that same year and—well—Ben has felt a lot safer ever since. Well, sir, that yarn makes Ben Cohn a Distinguished Adventurer, as well as a distinguished newspaper man.

It was first printed in the New York Sun on February 25, 1883. Author ship tor the poem was also claimed by CoL John A. Joyce, who had the quotation Inscribed on his tomb stone in Oak Hill cemetery, Wash ington, D. C., before his death in 1915. And occasionally echoes of ths controversy are still heard, but there is little doubt that Mrs. Wilcox was the author, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Joyce was not able to produce any positive evidence that he used the words be fore "Solitude” appeared In the Sun.
