Tuesday, February l3, I934 .flsychoiogy is Deadiy Weapon (Continued from page 1) It was a, very short time until the police arrived, and while fine black powder and magnifying glasses were produced in the aid of a finger-print search, Sergeant Meredith and Real- tor Thompson read the manuscript. “1 killed Raymond Poule because—- well, that’s my own affair. I had ample reason for killing him, and he knew it although he never knew me personally. “I’m telling this so that the world will know that Detective O’Lcar was only the victim of circumstance. He didn’t know he was to kill Poulc, but I did. “How? I went about it deliberate- ly, keeping myself in the background. I studied Poulc; I studied his tastes; learned his habits, knew his haunts, his strengths, and his weaknesses. In fact, I could Write a report on his character that would be apt to startle the city, for I knew more of him (which I shall prove) than he knew of himself. “I became, unknown to him, his shadow. Wherever he dined, I dined (I refer to public places); where he lunched, I lunched; and where he drank, I drank. I became so familiar with his habits that I could tell just where he would be and when, if I cared to be at that place. “Poule was a drinker, and of late he drank more than usual because he was worried. He was worried because-«that is, I say, my own affair. The fact I wish to make clear is that his hip-flask was his constant companion, and he used it very, very frequently. “Then I forged another link. I sent Kelly that phonoy tip-ofl' on the Elroy Club when I knew I would be there. “I watched the raid with interest. It all seemed so sudden. O’Lcar was left at the door with a drawn gun. Kelly ordered all to remain in their places with no false moves, and then with his police 38 in his hand, he conducted the search, O’Lear remain- ing on guard. Kelly was not inter- ested in hip-flasks, but rather in evi- deuce that the Elroy was selling liquor to its patrons. When this evidence was lacking, he left. “I had, however, discovered a habit in Kelly which I knew I could use. “My next move was to unearth a huge old watch of my grandfather-‘5, and with this concealed about my person where I could touch it with ease, I continued my stalking of Poule. Once again where he lunched, I lunched; where he dined, I dined; and where he drank, I drank. “Hawklike, I observed his every move, and whenever his hand moved to his hip, (which occurred at very frequent intervals), I wound the old watch. Or if it was already wound. I moved the winding stem backwards over the cogs. “Click, click, click, click, it would go in rapid succession; not a loud noise, but one that was distinct and could be heard—just one of those noises that would be well~noted by the subconscious mind, and never taken into cognizance. I don't believe he ever thought of it; yet he heard it, and heard it, and heard it. I took care of that. Every time his hand went to his hip, his subconsci- one mind heard that click, click, click, click. “This continued for weeks, contin- ued until that clicking that he never knew he heard became a very part o£ reaching for his flask. “When I was reasonably sure the habit was wellinrmed, I tested it. He would reach for his flask, click, click, click, click. Then long before it was time for him to drink again. I wound the watch, click, click, click, click. Would it‘l—‘Ies, it worked. Some irresistable force, some ter' rihle pressure of the subsconscious mind drove him to put his hand to his flask and drink. “Over and over again I tried it. I even made him quite drunk one evening. Yes, the habit had been well- formed, and Poule would reach for his flask when I wanted him to. My chain was almost complete. “Then my last task ——- another phoney tip-off to Kelly advising him to raid Samano’s when I knew Poule would be there, and then my task was complete. “How did Kelly get these tip-offs? Merely by typewritten slips which fluttered down somehow in front of policemen on their beats. Simple, is it not? “No, I was not in on the kill. I didn’t care for that part of the re- venge, but I am sure I can draw a picture of what took place. “Kelly and O’Lear appeared, each with a drawn gun. Orders were given for all to remain where they were with ‘no false movcs'. “O’Lear stayed at the door, his gun ever ready, guarding his chief, while Kelly, gun in hand, conducted his search; and as he did, he would work at that nervous little habit of his which I knew. As he walked about, his finger would Iconstantly spin the cylinder of his revolver, click, click, click, click. “To all save one in the room that was a warning that Kelly was ner- vous while conducting a raid. But it spelled a different story to Poule. That click, click, click, click to him was a desire to drink, a terrible de- sire. How he must have struggled with it, like a hidden lover trying to stifle a cough. Click, click, click, click. He must drink. Common sense no doubt told him that here was no time or place to drink, but the dc- sire aggravated by that clicking must have been almost unbearable. Click, click, click, click. Finally it be- came intolerable; and, like the lover who at last risks just a little cough, Poule must have decided that just to touch his flask, to let his fin- ger tips caress the top, might vent a little of the pressure that was driv- ing him mad. So, because the click- ing, which warned all others and which meant only a drink to Poule, kept beating harder and harder on his brain until it fell like hammer blows, Poulc moved—only a hand, but a move that spelled his death. “I wish him no further ill.
