Crime Does Not Pay #70
The main story follows a captain investigating the murders of three to five women whose bodies are found on a ship that sailed from Texas. Through detective work involving a French watch found on one victim and a tank car connected to Chicago, Captain Chapman traces the murders to a man named Tydall, who has been using a "ghost" haunting scheme in a thirteen-story building to frighten tenants and cover his crimes. The captain exposes Tydall's deception and arrests him, revealing that the murderer had been using the building's empty floors and the ghost rumor to hide his activities from the law.
