Detective Patty MacVeigh Solves Automat Cyanide Deaths
In August 1933 at a Broadway nickel-in-the-slot Automat two people died of cyanide. Detective Patty MacVeigh linked the deaths to Harry Jellinek, driven by debt, who used powdered cyanide in a roll then died. Lillian Rosenfeld, a longtime basement dweller, had eaten the other half of his roll and been found dead after scavenging. MacVeigh uncovered her $45,000 bank nest egg and noted its $1,200 annual interest.
