KANNIBELLE.
Mr. Beck, Ms wife, and their young
daughter kept a lodging- house at
Croydon, England. Reginald Parker
boarded with them. Parker was a
man of good habits and was em
ployed as a clerk in a bank. He was
treated by the Becks as one of the
members of the family, ,
"Why Reggie, what are you go
ing to do with that dog?" Mrs. Beck
asked Parker as she pointed to a
big bulldog which was lying peace
fully on the hearth.
"An acquaintance of mine at Fu1
ham asked me to get it for him. He
wants a dog to keep the burglars
away from his house."
"You certainly gQt the right dog.
If I were a burglar I shouldn't like
to meet that dog in the dark," she
observed.
"I expect my friend to call for the
dog. His name is Brinkley. Have
you ever met him?" he asked.
"No, I never remember meeting
him?" 'replied Mrs. Beck.
While she was speaking the door
bell rang. "Perhaps its your friend,"
added Mrs. Beck as she left Parker
to open the door. "I will leave you
two alone."
In another moment a heavy-set,
solid-looking man of 45 or 50 en
tered the room and greeted Parker
familiarly.
"I see you got the dog. What's
the price?" he asked.
"I think it is rather a good dog.
It will cost you $25," answered
Parker as he returned the new
comer's greeting.
"Very cheap at that," replied
Brinkley. Then taking a bottle of
oatmeal stout out of his hip pocket
he added: "Come lets have a drink
to settle it."
"Why Brinkley, I always thought
you were a total abstainer!"
Brinkley smiled. "Well Reggie,"
he said, as he poured a little stout
into two glasses on the table, "while
settling a bargain it won't do any
harm to have a little drink."
Parker and Brinkley talked about
the dog for a few minutes.
"I think you better keep him over
night and bring him over to my
-ttlare in the morning," Brinkley sug
gested. Parker agreed saying, "I think it
would be better for me to bring him
over to you (in the morning as the
trains will be crowded Saturday
night."
Suddenly putting his hand on his
chest Brinkley said, "Parker please
get me a glass of water. That glass
of stout made me thirsty. I suppose
I must admit that I am not a reg
ular drinker."
Jumps Out of Seat.
"In a minute," said Parker as he
jumped out of his seat and rushed
out of the room and down the stairs
to get his friend a glass of water.
As soon as Parker left the room
Brinkley opened the stout bottle and
poured the contents of a small phial,
which he produced from his vest
pocket, into it. There was a scant
odor of almond, but by the time
Parker returned with the glass of
water, it had gone.
The two chatted a little while
longer, and, as Brinkley started to
go Parker remarked that he was go
ing to make a call on a friend. "I
will go out with you. I am going to
see the man I got the dog from,"
he added.
Just before leaving the house
Parker stepped into the sitting room
and informed Mr. and Mrs. Beck
that he might spend the night with
a friend and not to expect him that
night. "However, I will be home
early in the morning and take the
dog over to Fulham," he said. But
he never took that dog to Fulham.
That night, shortly after midnight,
Mr. and Mrs. Beck were lying un
conscious on the floor. Their daugh
ter. Daisy, too, was affected but she
had strength enough to notify Dr.
W. Dempster.
Daisy was lying on the sofa in a
state of collapse when the doctor
arrived. With difficulty she told the
story of her parents' condition to the
doctor.
"After Parker left the room," she
said, "father and mother went to his
room and saw a bottle of stout on
the table. Thinking that it belonged
to Parker they each filled a glass
and then father poured out a glass
for me. Mother complained that it
was too bitter for her, although fa
ther didn't seem to mind it at all. I
tasted it and found it so bitter that I
spat it out before I had hardly
drunk any."
- "The stout was mixed with a
strong poison," the physician re
marked. On examining the remaining con
tents of the bottle, Dr. Demepster
came to the conclusion that the
stout was mixed with prussic acid,
one of the most deadly poisons in
existence. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beck
died half an hour ,after the doctor's
arrival.
"How diA the stout happen to be
on the table?" asked the Doctor.
"I can not tell you," replied Daisy
Beck. "All I know is that it was
on Parker's table."
The matter was reported to Scot
land Yard, and Detective Inspector
Fowler was assigned on the case.
He first interviewed Parker, who
stated that he bought a dog for
Brinkley who came over to take the
animal home and that he brought
a bottle of stout with him;
"We both drank a little," he told
the Scotland Yard man. "At the
time it appeared rather strange be
cause I had known Brinkley for
some tune and I had never seen
him drinking; besides I knew him
to be a teetotaller.
It was plain to Fowler that if
Parker was telling the truth, and
if both Parker and Brinkley drank
out of the same bottle without any
ill effects, that the prussic acid must
have been put in it by someone after
ward. In the meantime he could
not see any reason why the Beck
family should attempt to commit
suicide. Neither could he understand
why either Parker or Brinkley
should attempt to murder the
couple: and furthermore, Brinkley
never knew the Becks and had not
even met them.
Together All the Time.
As the case stood in the Scotland
Yard man's, mind, either Brinkley
or Parker had put the prussic acid
in the bottle of stout. Fowler then
cross-examined Parker.
"You both drank out of the bot
tle," he observed.
"Yes, sir, we did."
"Then where did you go?"
"Brinkley and I went out together.
Down the street I parted from him
and went to the house of a man
named Marsh who had given me
the dog. I stopped at Marsh's
house all night."
"Either before or after you two
had a drink of that stout, did you
leave the room at all," asked the
Scotland Yard man.
"We were together all the time,"
replied Parker. "Just a moment," he
added, except tor about a minute.
Brinkley complained that the stout
was too strong and wanted a drink
of water. I went down stairs and
came right back again. It did not
take me a minute.
Fowler was satisfied that Brinkley
had time enough to mix the prussic
acid in the bottle of stout even in
that short period. But why he should
want to poison the Becks, whom he
did not know, puzzled the Scotland
Yard man the most.
'Do you know where Brinkley
lives," he asked Parker.
I was going to take the dog to
Maxwell Road, Fulham," Parker re
plied. Are you intimately acquainted
with Brinkley?"
"I can not say I was intimately
acquainted with him. but I have
known him for sometime," answered
Parker. Some years ago we had an
argument over my wife. Then later
he wanted me to "commit perjury. He
had a will and he asked me to swear
that I had witnessed it."
"Will?" questioned the Scotland
Yard man.
"Yes, it was a will. He said that
there was some monty left to him,
and he asked me to swear that I saw
the party who left him the money
sign the will. But i never saw it
signed, so I told him I could not
swear to something I did not see."
Fowler began to see a motive
which Parker himself had not under
stood. To the detective's mind it was
clear that Brinkley had intended the
poisoned stout for Parker and that
the Becks had been poisoned acci
dentally. At any rate even if it could
not be proved that Brinkley put the
poison in the stout, Fowler could
have him put under arrest in the will
case, both of which he wanted to in
vestigate further.
Fowler was certain that Brinkley
was the murderer so he made up his
mind to go to Fulham and put
Brinkley under arrest.
It seems to be human nature, or
peculiar to the weakness of criminals
under suspicion, that they make the
most damaging statements, insigni
ficant as they may be, at the moment
of their arrest. The recorder of
these cases has examined several
hundred famous cases all over the
world and he noticed that in nearly
every case a few words of protesta
tion, or expression of innocence, gave
the experienced detective his major
clue.
"Brinkley, I put you under arrest
on a charge of administering poison,
namely prussic acid, to Reginald
Parker with intent to murder him,"
announced the Scotland Yard . man
as he gave Brinkley the usual
stereotyped ' warning that 'anything
he might say would be used against
him in the future.'
Brinkley's reply was the exclama
tion, Well I am sugared!
As Fowler put the hand cuffs on
Brinkley he, further informed his
man that he would probably also
be charged with the murder of Mr.
and Mrs. Beck. "They have died
as a result of the prussic acid ad
ministered to them, he added.
I am sugared again, Brfnkley

How to Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather
This is the season when she who would
have a lily-white complexion should turn
her thoughts to mereolized wax, the firm
friend of the summer girl. Nothing so
effectually overcomes the soiling -effects
of sun, wind, dust and dirt. The wax lit
erally absorbs the scorched, discolored,
freckled, withered or coarsened cuticle,
bringing forth a brand new skin, clear,
soft and girlishly beautiful. It also un
cloga the pores, removing blackheads and
increasing the skin's breathing capacity.
An ounce of enercoliied wax, obtainable at
any drug store, applied nightly like cold
cream and washed off mornings, will
gradually improve the worst complexion.
When depressed by the heat and you
want to freshen up for the afternoon or
evening, bathe the ace in a lotion made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxo
lite itra half pint witch hazel. You'll find
this more refreshing than an hour's rest.
It is fine for smoothing out wrinkles, even
tne deeper ones. .

repeated once more as he added
these most damaging words. I
have not seen Parker for three
weeks. He is playing a dirty trick
on me.
But a still more damaging state
ment was made by Brinkley him
self to the Scotland Yard man as he
was on his way to the Croydon po
lice station.
"I am a total abstainer. If any
one says that I bought stout they
will have a hard time to prove it,"
he said.
Now the Scotland Yard man had
not mentioned stout. He had only
informed Brinkley that he had
poisoned Mr. and Mrs. Beck by ad
ministering prussic acid. Lcrtainly
that statement of the accused was
a foolish remark. The Scotland
Yard man had proved to bis own
satisfaction that Brinkley brought
the bottle of stout to Parker's room,
had a drink with him in the room,
then later when Parker was sent for
a glass of water Brinkley poured
the prussic acid "Into the bottle, be
lieving that later when Parker was
alone he would have a drink by him
self. Now it was up to the Scotland
Yard man to prove where Brinkley
got the oatmeal stout.
First Fowler visited a small "off
license" shop in Croydon whose la
bel was on the bottle and inter
viewed the proprietor.
"It was last Saturday night," the
proprietor said, "about 7:30, when a
man entered the shop and bought
a bottle of oatmeal stout."
"Would you recognize him if you
saw him?" questioned the detective.
"I certainly would," he replied.
"There was a little argument about
the payment of a 4-cent deposit on
the bottle. At first he refused to
pay it and went out; then he came
back again and paid the deposit on
the bottle."
Perhaps if Brinkley had not been
so mean over a 4-cent deposit on the
bottle of stout Fowler would have
considerable difficulty in tracing
him to that shop, as it would not
have been possible for the proprie
tor of the shop to recognize a casual
purchaser of a bottle of stout.
As it were, the owner of the shop
picked Brinkley out of 10 men as
the one who bought the bottle of
oatmeal stout on the fatal night.
Then the detective examined the
timetable to find out if there was a
train to Croydon between 7 and
7:30, and he found one which ar
rived in Croydon at 7:20. He calcu
lated that from the railroad station
to the liquor store where Brinkley
got the bottle of oatmeal stout was
only a few minutes' walk, and he
concluded that Brinkley had arrive
by that train.
The detective was informed bv a
railroad inspector who knew Brink-
ley that he was cn that very train.
There was no doubt about it, as the
inspector had known Brinkley for
some time
Thus the links in the chain of evi
dence were slowly connected, placing
Brinkley on the night of the murder
in Croydon buying a bottle of stcut
and going to see Reginald Parker.
On the Track.
The detective's next two steps
were to rind out what was the ac
cused man's motive and how he ob
tained the prussic acid with which
the murder was committed, for Dr.
Stevenson, the famous government
expert, easily proved that it was that
deadly poison which had killed the
unfortunate Mr. and Mrs. Beck.
At Maxwell Road, Fulham, the
detective got on the track to the an
swer to the one thing which puz
zled him so the motive. He sus
pected something to do with a will,
from what Parker had told him, and
his inquiries brought to light a very
remarkable story.
The house in Maxwell Road had
belonged to an old lady named Mrs.
Blume, who had recently died, and
left the whole of her property, valued
at $10,000, to Brinkley. The daugh
ter of the old lady told the detective
'that she was contesting the will, be
cause her mother had never given
her the slightest idea she was going
to leave all her property to a com
parative stranger.
"Who was the will witnessed by?"
asked the detective.
"A man named Heard and a man
named Parker," was the reply.
Now, Parker denied having signed
any will, but when the detective
showed him his signature on Mrs.
Blume's will he admitted at once it
was his!
"But I don't remember signing it,"
he asserted.
"Do you remember signing any-

thing at all for Brinkley in the last
few weeks?" asked Inspector Fowler.
"Well, the only thing I can think
o! was a petition Brinkley was get
ting up of some kind. He asked me
to sign it as a matter of form, and
I didn't read it. As a matter of fact,
I signed it in a saloon."
The inspector made a mental note
to visit the public house, the address
of which Parker gave him, at the
first opportunity.
"Did you know Mrs. Blume?" he
asked finally.
"I never heard of her," replied
Parker.
An important point here occurred
to the detective. He knew that, ac
cording to law, a will must be wit
nessed and signed in the presence of
the person making the will. When
Brinkley was confronted with Park
er's statement he said bluntly that
he was not telling the truth, but that
Heard and Parker and Mrs. Blume
were together in Fulham when the
will was signed and witnessed. The
detective thought of a way he could
test this.
He found a bottle of ink in the
house at Fulham, and he also ob
tained some of the ink which was
kept in the saloon, where Parker had
said he had signed the petition for
Brinkley.
With the bottles and the will he
called to see Dr. Mitchell, one of the
foremost authorities in England on
inks.
"I want you to tell me," he said,
"if this will was written and signed
in the same ink or not. If not, was
cither of these ink bottles used?
Dr. Mitchell's reply a few days
afterwards showed the clever reas
oning of the detective was correct.
"The signature of Parker to the
will," replied the ink expert, "is
written in the same ink as that you
have obtained from the public house.
The signature of Mrs. Blume is
written in a different kind of ink,
while the body of the will and the
signature of the other witness is
written in a totally different kind of
ink. Neither of the latter inks cor
responds to the one you have ob
tained from Fulham."
The reply was as conclusive as it
could be that the will was not wit
nessed and signed at the same time
as the law demands and this
proved one of the most damaging
pieces of evidence against Brinkley
at his trial. At the trial Brinkley ac
counted for the three different inks
being used by saying Mrs. Blume
kept three different kinds in the
house. When asked what had be
come of them, however, he gave the
lame excuse that he had given them
away.

Still the detective was not satis
fied that the proofs he had that the
will was a forgery "were sufficient,
and he consulted Mr. Gurrin, the
well-known handwriting expert. The
latter said that Mrs. Blume's sig
nature was a forgery, and fro'm
specimens of Brinkley's handwriting
he was convinced the forgery had
been made by the prisoner.
The detective's second point was
proved. He now knew the motive
for the attempted murder of Parker
an attempt which ended in the
death of Mr. and Mrs. .Beck. When
it came to proving the will in open
court it would be necessary to call
Parker to swear he signed the will
in the presence of Mrs. Blume. He
had refused to do this, and so Brink
ley had decided to get him out of
the way.
The third question which Inspector
Fowler had to answer was, "Where
did the prussic acid come from?"
Brinkley's Mistake.
By trade Brinkley was a carpenter,
and the detective learned that he had
done some carpentry work for a Mr.
Vale a few months before. Mr. Vale
was an expert in doctoring birds and
animals, and he told the detective
that Brinkley had asked him for
some poison with which to kill a
dog.
Mr. Vale had given him some
prussic acid.
Now, if Brinkley could have
proved he had a dog at the time,
and had actually poisoned it, he
might have been acquitted, for it
would have been a strong point in
his favor. But the detective found
that Brinkley certainly had no dog
to poison at the time. His three
great points against the murderer
were proved. The fact that he had
killed other people by mistake in
stead of Parker made no difference
to his guilt in the eyes of the law.
"If Brinkley took the poison to the
house on the fatal night," said Mr.
Justice Bigham in his summing up,
"with the intention of poisoning a
certain person, and some one else
was poisoned, he was guilty of mur
der." And of murder the jury did not
hesitate to find him guilty.
What did not come out at the
trial, though discovered by the detec

Brinkley was a man to stick at noth
ing to gain his own ends, though he
strenuously denied his guilt to the
last
One of his landladies did not like
her lodger, and gave, him notice, and
she had the greatest difficulty in get
ting rid of him. "If people play
tricks on me," he told her, "I play
tricks on them. I always get my
own back."
While with this landlady he kept
chickens, and it was because he was
always experimenting with these
chickens, giving them drugs of va
rious kinds, that she gave him no
tice. Six of these chickens were
poisoned and died as a matter of
fact.
After the landlady have given him
notice, she was awakened about 1
o'clock one morning by hearing a
crash, and, going downstairs to see
what it was, she found smoke com
ing from under the door of Brink
ley's room. There were eight people
in the house at the time, and she
promptly gave the alarm, and the
door was forced open, but Brinkley
had vanished. He had gone to sleep
elsewhere that night! To have his
revenge against the landlady he had
actually endangered the lives of eight
fellow "creatures. Afterwards to show
the cool nerve of this man, he
brought action against an insurance
company for $1,000, the amount he
had insured the contents of the room
against fire! Needless to say, he
didn't get it.
Previous to this he had quarreled
with another landlady over the quan

have had, and he determined to put
a stop to it.
He did it effectively! He took a
large piece of coal, drilled a hole In
it, and inserted a quantity of dyna
mite. He took that piece of coal and
placed it in a prominent position in
the coal cellar, where the landlady
was bound to pick it up. As a result,
the fire'grate was blown out and the
landlady only escaped death by a
miracle.
Finally, the detective discovered
that some years previously Brinkley
had been living with a girl, whom he
undoubtedly poisoned. He admit
ted at the inquest that he kept a
number of chemicals in the house
which he used for experimental pur
poses, and said the girl might have
accidentally swallowed some. He
was severely censured at the time
by the coroner and jury, but if they
had known as much as Inspector
Fowler knew later he would have
been tried for murder.
(Next Sunday watch for another
world's greatest detective case).

a baby to photograph in one of the
scenes. Walking down a Los Ange
les street he saw just the youngster
he wanted being wheeled by its
parents. Taylor dashed forward, ex
claiming: "I want to shoot the
babyl" using the studio vernacular
"shoot" for "photograph." Only
hasty explanations saved him from
being flattened under the parental
wrath.
