(xxx) The Female Ogre

Presenting Detective Nick Harris in a salute to the law. Quoting the words of Reverend Penawell, pastor of St. John's Methodist Episcopal Church of Chicago, Illinois, an editorial he contributed to a nationally known crime magazine.

Crime never pays in happiness and honor. It always pays in sorrow and shame and death. End of quotation. Just so is the case Detective Nick Harris will unfold in this story, he is entitled, The Female Ogre.

And now, Mr. Harris. Thank you, Mr. Starling. Ladies and gentlemen, from time to time, I'm called upon by editors of newspapers and magazines to contribute facts concerning crime cases that have taken place throughout the world.

Therefore, it was not unusual a few months ago when Marty Cole, no newspaper reporter friend of mine, came to my office. Hello, Chief. Hello, Marty. Sit down, won't you? Thank. Well, what is it this time?

Oh, another story is usual. Only this time I want something really gruesome. At the same time, it's some human interest. Yeah, let's see now. Something gruesome. Oh, yes. Have I ever told you the story of a female ogre?

A woman without a heart then who's his only goal in life was the accumulation of vast sums of money, regardless of the cost? No, I don't believe you have, Chief. What's it about? You know Marty some people do a very foolish thing when they answer advertisements and matrimonial journals without first having the party advertising investigated
