i THE HYPNOTIST !
OF PROCTOR STREET
By An Ex-Detective in Collaboration with
EDWARD C. MEECHEIM
CHAPTER .NO. 21
SYNOPSIS: Investigations
the disappearance of
from the Mechanical
Bank and the later death of
tav Ten Eych, the bank’s cashier,
have led Steve Ludwig, Special In
vestigator for the Atlas Surety
Company of New York, to believe
that the crime was committed by
post-hypnotic suggestion.
Hugo Metzmeir is suspected as be
ing the master mind of a criminal
gang. Steve is trying to locate
the gang’s hide-out some where in
Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Now
go on with the story.
It was six o’clock In the evening
when Steve left Dr. Blackwell’s
office. A storm was brewing.
Great black clouds, rolling and bil
lowing over the city were pierced
by lightning darts of live-wire
lividness. The snap and crackle
overhead caused him to hesitate,
but he turned up his coat collar
and hunched his shoulders as if
this gesture would protect him
from the elements, then made a
dash for the taxi stand at the cor
ner.
“Do you know where Hell’s
Kitchen is?” he asked of a chauf
feur who stood by his cab watch
ing the electrical display.
“Sure ting, Bo. I lives dere. I
got me edecatchin in de school
down dere. I’se a gredgewate of
de Reform School, class of 1928.”
“All right, college boy, take me
do ^ n tbere.”
Mister, I don t wants to but'
inter yer business, but has youse
ever been to de kitchen?”
“Yes. I’ve been there.”
“Well, den, youse ought ter
’round know dat Hell’s youse can’t be runnin’ j
Kitchen after dark
by your lonely. Youse gotta have
a coupla body-guards er somethin.’
Mister, dat part of dis burg is
plenty tough. Why, youse would
not git a block before some mug;
give yer de woiks.”
“I'll take a chance,” answered
St eve . “get going. I’ll tell you
where to let me out when we get
down there."
Perhaps I can pick up some
thing from that end, mused Steve,
as he settled back in the cab. The
Metzmeir approach was too hot,
now. He knows I am into his
racket and he’s too shrewd to
make a false move. But Squint
Leech is no doubt his top kick.
I’ll start down here with Squint
and see if I can’t work back to
Metzmeir. Squint used to hang
out on Proctor Street. I’ll give
his place the once over, at least.
Steve’s route led through the
business district. Buddy Black,
who was standing before the en
trance of the Atlas Surety Build
ing, as instructed by Steve that
morning, looked up, and in the
light of a vivid flash of lightning,
saw his employer in the passing
taxi. The boy waved, hoping that
Steve would stop and pick him up,
but Steve was not thinking of
Buddy. In fact, at the moment,
he was so deeply engrossed with
the problem in hand that all mat
ters irrevelant to it were just as
if they did not exist. Fortunately,
there is a portion of the brain
which acts independently; it seems
to be alert for those important
things that can crop up unexpect- i
edly and with which the conscious
.mind has no time to deal, Under
this stimulus one may perform
acts of which there is no conscious
ness. And this is just what Steve
did. That ever-vigilant brain cell
caught Buddy’s signal, up came
an answering wave from the taxi,
but Steve was totally unaware
that he had raised his hand. The
taxi sped on toward Hell’s Kitchen.
“Let me out here,” called Steve,
when they reached Proctor street.
“Youse ain’t goin’ ter git out
here, are youse, Mister? Say, dis
is de toughest spot in de Kitchen,
Why, I wouldn’t git offen dis bus
widout me buddies wid me. Say,
I don’t wanta let

A woman was hurled through
swinging doors of a dive and

i see ^ ®be were dead, There
seemed to be an undercurrent of
undue excitement. The sidewalk
j raob was tense as if taut nerves
were attuned to the storm and
each lightning dart was expected
to ignite a fuse of savage emotions.
Three policemen approached,
walking abreast. They paid no at
tention to the woman in the gut
ter, but they did scrutinize Steve.
“Buddy, do you know where you
are?” inquired an officer.
“Sure,” replied Steve and pas
sed hurriedly on. Reaching under
his coat > be slipped the safety
catch on bis pistol, then from a
vest pocket took a miniature auto
matic which he concealed in the
palm of his hand. He eased
through the mob as inconspicu
ously as possible, A gangster
nudged his pal and nodded in
Steve’s direction. They fell into
step a few feet in the rear.
Steve’s eyes missed nothing. He
knew that he was in the midst of
raw humanity, that his own keen
wit and quick action were the
only things which would get him
out of this neighborhood alive.
Steve had been foolishly brave. He
had allowed his enthusiasm to pre
eipitate him into the habitat of
the gangster without preparing a
line of retreat or letting anyone
know of his whereabouts, He
was in gangster land . alone,
. .
Midway of the block a dark
starway led to still darker rooms
above. Steve remembered this as
the headquarters of Squint Leech ’3
gang. Before reaching the stair
way, he edged up close to the
building, then eased into the inky r
black entrance and backed against
the wall, his hand with the babyi
automatic held obliquely, it’s bar-j
rel pointing toward the sidewalk.!
The gangsters passed without
noticing that their quarry had
eluded them. Steve felt along the
* wall, then slid
one foot forward
until he located tfye bottom step
of the stairs. His hand found the
railing which was fastened to the
wall. Then cautiously he raised
his foot to the second step. As
cending slowly and noiselessly, the
darknesss eemingly getting black
and thicker, he could see nothing.
He knew that he stood in the up
per hall only when his fjoot failed
to find another step, Windows
must be shuttered mighty tight,
he thought, the lightnin don’t
show anywhere. He paused and
listened intently. Not a sound to
indicate that this was a place of
human habitation. Just what to
do, he did not know. He realized
that he could not work in dark
ness, and he had no flashliht. I’m
not like the story-book detectives,
Steve smiled to himself, They
can always put their hand into a
hidden pocket and pull out any
thing they need, Steve had no
knowledge of his surroundings,
and a false step might land him
anywhere.
The building appeared deserted,
Eerie creaks of old timbers . . . a
rattle of loose boards . . . Surely
there was no one in a place of
such utter desolation. He decided
to descend to the street, have a
look around the neighborhood and
return to inspect Squint’s place
the next day.
But for once. Steve had under
estimated the ingenuity of the
men whom he sought. A dazzling
light flashed in his eyes ... .
“Stick ’em up,” came a rasping
voice. Steve’s baby automatic
flashed before the words of com
mand were finished . . . something
hard and heavy crashed down on
the back of his head and he
crumpled to the floor unconscious.
