The Old Clay Pipe and What Came of It
A journalist recalls a science class experiment with a clay pipe that led to a major crime case. Years later the pipe's copper coating and a statue motif trigger a police inquiry into the disappearance of Mr. Seeligson, a prominent metallurgist, in a town marked by financial risk and a web of suspects including Dinah and Oscar. Detective Hitchman and the journalist piece together the clue from an embossed statue and a copper clad pipe.
