PREFACE
The Crime Without a Parallel
If crime may be said to have a
technic, one of its masterpieces was
thfit singular aeries of mysteries
bound up with the name of Lola
Carewa, sometimes called the
“Night Club Lady.”
In cold patience and during long
years, thia fantastic plot was
hatched. Conceived in audacity, and
executed with rare boldness and
dispatch, it was almost the perfect
crime! At the time of this bizarre
excitement, as some will remember,
I was confidential secretary to
Thatehar Colt, then Police Commis-
sioner of Greater New York. In the
Care we ease we encountered a prob-
lem unique and terrifying, a deadly
enigma winch Colt solved when to
the rtst of us til avenues of inves-
tigation appeared empty.
Yet in the Carewe mysteries, as
in his other investigations, Thatch-
er Celt employed no miraculous
gifts. He resorted to no magic ex-
cept applied intelligence, relying, in-
variably an strict police practice—
industry, patience, perseverance,
and the organised use of all avail-
aide assistance, including the co-
operation of scientists and their
laboratories. As everyone knows,

“Jewel robberies!” stated Colt
quietly.
Dougherty’s eyes suddenly rolled
upward.
"Who told you anything about
that?” he demanded.
“Not the District Attorney,” re-
plied Thatcher Colt, mild reproof
in his voice. The Commissioner had
long felt that the functions of the
police were too often usurped by
the District Attorneys, net only in
New York hot in many other Amer-
ican cities. Recently Ctitfs object**

The broad room was overcrowded
with tobacco
As we hdsitated, the lumpy figure
«f Merle K. Dougherty appeared,
honfchring rapidly toward us. The
District Attorney was one of Colt’s
eldest and most unreasonable
flionds—a stout and nojsy but com-
petent man, with dangling jowls,-a
mop of red curis, and protruding
blue eyes that always seemed in-=
dignant and alarmed.
•Thatcher. I know how you dis-
lost interest in his eld world of
gaiety and fashion. Barn to money
a nd serial poaitkm, he put aside all
distractions whan ha accepted the

er. With an eagerness that was Iflc-

fike all this,” apologized Dougherty,
panting as he shook hands, “but to-
night, old man, you’ve got to trust
me. This way!”
Through narrow twisting lanes
of skylarking show-folk the Dis-
trict Attorney led us with confident
tread. As he had boasted, his table
was on the edge of the dance floor.
We satdawn, Colt’s grave eyes tak-
ing in tfafe scene with one swift and
lustrous glance. It was a jovial as-
semblage, and the excitement was
palpably rising with the approach
of the midnight hour.
“Well, Dougherty?”
In the Commissioner’s
question
there was an over-tone of skeptical
challenge.
“I’ll come right to the point
higher-up.”
