The Eel-Skin Club-
A DETECTIVE S stoby op the great orange
RIOT IN NEW YORK.
“Not eyen a glass of sherry ?”
“Not even a glass of sherry,” replied Mr.
Leeds, as he pushed back the decanter I
offered him, with a look in his eyes, however,
which said as plainly as words, “I envy yon
the pleasure; but excuse me.”
“There’s something up, then, I suppose.”
“You’re ‘ * * ^ ‘

— ’ club, made by pouring fine sand into an eel-

lowing day. The autopsy disclosed that he
too, had died from concussion of the brain,
yet there was no ska'll fracture. This was
getting to be drcadtul, and here were we de
tectives sucking our thumbs and hunting up
little thieves and counterfeiters while some
mysterious agent was spreading death all
about us. I could not sleep of nights,” and
John Leeds sighed heavily.
“Now for the roan in the area,” as you
called him, Harry : “for that man has given

What are you talking about ?

brought his fist down the table and made the
glasses rattle again.
We were sitting in a small private room at
tached to the B Hotel, where Leeds and I
often retired to transact a little confidential,
social business, after office hours. John
Leeds was called the most skillful detective in
the service of the city government, and I was
a clerk—under a good salary, you may be
sure—in the office of the Receiver of Taxes.
This was the first time I had ever known
John Leeds to go back on me in that little
room, and many’s the high old time we’ve
had there, too; but when he seemed so seri
ous, and refused his sherry, and brought down
his fist with a bang, 6aying “ I’m euchred!’’
I knew something had pulled the wrong way
with him, and I was determined to find out
what. Every man has his tender spot, and
John Leeds’ tender spot w as his strong friend
ship lor your humble servant, else why—I
said to myself—would he have worked so
faithfully to get the aforesaid into his present
“posish” in the Receiver ot Taxes’ office ?
“Now, John, what is it?” I said, iaying my
hand on his arm, “Is it money ?”
He shook his head.
“Is it a woman ?”
The facts are these, but they have not been
reported fully in the newspapers for many
reasons. Late at night, Joel Benson heard a
noise in the lower part of his house, and,
without thinking much danger— for he was a
strong and courageous man—he descended.
He soon discovered that robbers were at his
silver safe in the basement dining-room,
and in his thoughtless indignation he pitched
into them. There were two of the rascals,
and he soon laid one of them out on his
back by a well directed blow in the face, and
grappled quickly with the other. He had his
match, too, for the man was a sturdy, thick
set fellow, and they had a nice wrestle across
that dining room and out toward the base
ment door. Benson said afterward he never
thought of shouting for help, or the scoun
drel might have been captured; his only Idea
was to punish him—so they writhed and
groaned together in a terrible struggle. One
moment Benson nearly beat the villain to the
ground, and tho next he was himself pin*
ioned to the wall; they were matched so
equally that if cither had freed one arm from
his foe for an instant, it would have been
victory for the other.
‘At this juncture they reached the area and

sworn io myself not to taste a morsel of fine- u eDBon heard the robber call to his compan
cut [fine-cut chewing tobacco, and John Leeds ,who was staggering toward them
was an inveterate chewer] or swallow a thim
bleful of V. O. P., until I've found it out?”
“Good,” I replied, simply by way of en
couraging him to go on, and he did go on
murderous work, scarcely leaving a bruise or
mark to tell the tale. Bones may be broken,
brains beaten to a jelly, but the skin remains
whole and the skull unfractured.
Since Miller’s imprisonment he has con
fessed the murder of the woman found in |
Harlem river, that ot the German merchant |
at Hoboken, the stranger, in Spring street, j
and many other crimes equally heiuous. His l
dreadful invention has been freely used by !
the professors of the dark lantern, and I
think the reason they hung Russell the other ;
day in San Francisco was, not that he was
gnilty of the murder of Grotty, but that an j
eel-skin club wa9 fund in his possession.
However, Jack Leeds still lives in New j
York, and they call him a Sampson in his |
profession.
