Worth a Million'?

A FIEND was going to be caught by the police. The tabloids said so in big black headlines. But he got the jump on 'the police and came to jail of his own accord. Alas, he was not A FIEND. He was merely a plump, middle-aged man, who sometimes wore a beard and sometimes not, who called himself Dr. Louis Clement and a half dozen other names, who dabbled in chemistry and wanted to be an aviation promoter. He convinced the police that he was not the man who murdered Miss Margaret Brown in Bernardsville, N. J., by soaking her clothes in gasoline and setting fire to them. Then Dr. Clement faced charges of stealing his wife's $600 diamond pendant and cashing bad checks. When these minor matters are settled, Dr. Clement expects to take advantage of what he calls "the million dollars worth of publicity" he has achieved by his association with the FIEND and TORCH MURDER case. He is going to get "easy" capital to market his inventions: telephone disinfectants, vegetable sprays, synthetic gasoline.
