"Did you tell the young man that
I think he’s no good?”
"Yes. He said it wasn’t the first
wrong diagnosis you had made.”

Murder on the Loose
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter
H ello, everybody:
Well, sir, here’s an adventurer who had it coming to
him. 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

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.

Lines From "Solitude”
"Laugh and the world laughs with
you. Weep and you weep alone,"
are lines from "Solitude,” a poem
written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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.

Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake
Though the yellow-bellied sea
snake may not be ferocious-looking,
it is nothing to get gay with, accord
ing to a writer in the Washington
Post. A member of the dreaded
cobra clan, it is among the most
deadly of poisonous reptiles. In cap
tivity it is particularly dangerous,
becoming sullen and striking at ev
eryone. It is the only poisonous sea
snake found in the waters around
America, although there are 49 oth
er species just as deadly, else
where. As the name indicates, this
slender snake is a brilliant yellow
underneath, though its top side is
black. It has no gills, must come to
the surface to breathe. It is som»
times caught in fishing nets.
