He boarded a first-class carriage on the 9:45 pm Hackney service of the North London railway. At Hackney, two bank clerks discovered blood in the seat cushions as well as on the floor, windows, and sides of the carriage. A bloodstained hat was found on the seat along with a broken link from a watch chain. The race to identify the killer and catch him as he fled on a boat to America was eagerly followed by the public on both sides of the Atlantic."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1523 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
