Nora’s night of horror

E get away with murder is no easy task, but it does
happen. The most successful murder of all, at least from
the perpetrator’s point of view, Is a death which is never
detected as murder. The untimely demise Is attributed to
an accident or natural causes and is never really investi-
gated, Then there is the alternate category, where the act
of murder is obvious, but every investigative avenue
leads to a dead end and the murderer goes scot free,

Nora Fuller was an unlikely victim. In 1902 she was a
Jeenager looking for a job, preferably in the entertain-
ment industry. She had performed on the stage in-high
school, and just naturally applied for any job openings
involving the theatre. Work wasn't easy to come by. After
some weeks she decided to take a stop-gap job. That's

jow she came to answer an‘ advertisement in a San
Francisco newspaper: ‘Young girl to take care of baby;
good home and gcod wages; Box 120-Chronicle.”

The very next day Nora received a postcard: ‘Miss
Fuller, In answer to yours in response to my advt., kindly
call at the Popular Restaurant, 55 Geary St., and inquire
for Mr. John Bennett at 1 o'clock. If you can't come at 1,
come at 6. J.B.”

Rushed to date with death.

Nora had to rush to get to the restaurant by 6. She

her to his table. After waiting a half
hour he left the restaurant and was seen pacing up and
down outside the front door. Krone was later to state that
the man in question had often eaten in his establishment.
He was about forty years old, five feet eight, and weighed
about 1 junds. He had a brown moustache, and was
always well dressed,

When Nora failed to return that night,.her mother
reported her missing to the police. After a complete
investigation they assumed that Nora had kept her
appointment with Mr. John Bennett, but from there it
appeared as if Nora had fallen off the edge of the earth,
John Bennett didn’t exist. The address at 1500 Geary
Street was a vacant lot. With no new clues coming in, the
investigation wound down.

On February 8, almost a month after Nora ran out of
her house eating an apple, a real estate representative,
whose job it was to inspect houses before renting them to
new tenants, went to scrutinize a-house at 2211 Sutter
Street. The house had been rented for one month. The

opened the door to a tiny back room. Inside, lyi ng

bed, was the nude, mutilated body of a young girl. The

real estate agent ran from the vacant house directly to

the fet policeman he could find. The dead girl was Nora

The investigating ‘detectives’ learned of, the efforts
which had been made to trace the missing girl, and how
that investigation had bogged down. They learned that
two days before the advertisement appeared in the
Chronicle, a Mr. C.D. Hawkins had leased the house on
Sutter Street from the real estate firm of Umbsen and

The vacant house and the murder room were examined
without concrete results. The only room which had been
used was the little back room where the body was found.

- Everything in the room had been recently purchased by
the killer. Attempts to trace the. murderer proved frus- .

one night’s use.

Disappeared forever

When the killer, using the name Hawkins, leased the
house on Sutter Street, it was necessary for him to sign a
document. Ollie Blazier came up with Hadley’s signature
on a photograph he had given her. The two signatures’
were compared. They were both written by the same

man,
Hadley had worked for fourteen years at the same job.
In recent years he had lived with Miss Blasier. Even she
was amazed to find out how little she knew about him.
