STAR’S CORRESPONDENT IN NEW YORK GETS STORY FROM LIPS OF INSPECTOR Tells How Discovery of Pillow Slip | Led to Breaking in Door of Pseudo Priest’s Apartment. By Norman Rose. (The Star's New York Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—A short, stock man with a round face, leaned against a desk in the detectives’ room in the great New York police headquarters. He eemed tired, but in his keen, well- set eyes there was a look of won derful satisfaction. Not at all the man you'd pick for a Lecocq, or a Sheriock Hoimes— this Joseph A. Faurot! Nothing hawklike chubby face! Nothing in that stout figure to suggest stealth! But no old sleuth of jurid-lidded | fiction ever followed a trail more relentlessly or more swiftly to its conclusion than this same Inspector Faurot, when he unearthed the man who betrayed and butchered Anna Aumuller. THE CLUE! | Nothing but a pillow case, with a letter “A” embroidered on it, to lead to the discovery of one of the cruelest and craftiest murder- ers known in ali the history of murder, and yet— “It was simple,” said Inspector Faurot. “The pillow case w plenty!
