Detective Connor and the Golden Rule

March 6, 1910: William Montgomery Clemens’ stories were a frequent feature in an era when newspapers published Sunday supplements. Clemens (1860-1931) was a nephew of Mark Twain.

Detective Connor gets his man, but there’s also a happy ending. It seems Connor is not of the hard-boiled school. To be sure, this is no great tale in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but is well-crafted entertainment intended to pass the time.
