Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


Still Gluck did not understand. He continued to seek an
explanation from the girl. In fear of Sherbourne, he applied to
the Chief of Police for permission to carry a revolver, which
permission was refused, the newspapers as usual playing it up
sensationally. Then came the murder of Irene Tackley, six days
before her contemplated marriage with Sherbourne. It was on a
Saturday night. She had worked late in the candy store, departing
after eleven o'clock with her week's wages in her purse. She rode
on a San Pablo Avenue surface car to Thirty-fourth Street, where
she alighted and started to walk the three blocks to her home.
That was the last seen of her alive. Next morning she was found,
strangled, in a vacant lot.
