A sensational Omaha narrative recounts Dr Frederick T Rustin's downfall through an illicit affair with Abbie Rice, staged deaths, and a fatal shooting. The plot centers on insurance schemes, staged suicides, and a clinic murder that ends with Rustin's death and a major public uproar.
The tale centers on a Cape doctor known for healing becoming consumed by a death wish discussed with a confidant. Insurance firms from Aetna Life and others seek to preserve testimony from key witnesses Davis and Mrs. Rice to support a homicide inquiry.
Three days after, Abbia Rice sees Dr. Austin who announces finding a man named Charles Edward Davis who wants to die as well. The exchange hints at a planned grim course, suggesting Davis’s agreement with death.
In a dramatic sequence, Austin presses a woman to shoot him as a pact ends in a fatal shot. He urges her to flee, remove shells, and commit suicide, but she resists while a police handcuffs him for first degree murder. Bail is set high as the case moves forward.
Mrs. Austin, heartbroken yet resolute, tends her ailing husband as doctors abandon hope. She declares, “Fee shall not die,” and vows to save him, holding to faith and care through the crisis.
A lawyer recalls defending a man in a conjure case and a haunted cabin in Alabama. The tale centers on a carpenter with a missing leg, his jealous wife, and a conjure practitioner named Cato Feels who claims a charm will protect the killer. After the trial, the cabin is torn down, rebuilt, yet white chalk hopscotch rings and a red African tiger lily mark a haunting. The prisoner later favors the ring at sunset, night after night, with a spectral laugh and a living ghost lingering near the old site.
A clipped humorous piece recalls a Philly reader's tale of strict river safety in Berlin. The characters Schmidt, Krauss, and Muller feature in a dawn park meeting where a drowning incident underscores police bans on swimming as a cautionary aside.
