Detective Stone Bonds With Boy to Trace Murder Clues
Fleming Stone teams with Fibsy the office boy to examine a shoe button, dirt print, and cane-mark evidence from a murder scene. The pair visit a home, discuss ethics, and plan further inquiries as Stone praises the boy’s deductive instincts.

Inspector Collins describes a noisy scene with a woman shouting about whooping cough and a phonograph playing ragtime while noting the wound was a stab from a slender blade. The killer’s weapon is not found, and the motive remains unclear as they plan to pursue further clues at Van Cortlandt Park woods.
