It's a separate story how Ursula Hitchcock, Browne's office girl, did some of the most brilliant de- tective work in police annals on the McNamara case: How Work Started. “On the morning of the Times explosion, October 1,” says Browne, “L reeeived a telegram from district attorney telling me to get all the evidence I could in the case. ‘The first thing I did was to send out detectives and have them take) ® census of the four blocks sur- rounding the Times building.

It was this census which unearthed a man who gave us a clue to the fact that at Venice, near Los Angeles, sev- leral sticks of dynamite had been }found. But the best clue was a mark on the stick of dynamite found at Zeehandelaar's house, where it had been planted.

That was a pretty difficult plece of work, but. with the aid of the Oakland potice, I discovered the man.

Hut ax soon as I clapped my eyes on the Pastime | saw two screw marks that told the story. The renters had screwed a board, with aluminum letters, spelling the word Peerless, over the original Dame of the -best. This was clever trick on their part, because, when they left the dock, after rent- ing the bout, they departed as the Pastime. When they drew up to purchase the dynamite the bont was the Peerless, and yet when they returned the boat to the dock it was the Pastime.
