Drannon I 1 G JOHN GOLDEN, commander of the Homicide Bureau at Chicago police headquarters, studied the reports. About 3:30 that morning, Newton Cross had been driving in a deserted, circular road in Lincoln Park when he saw a man sprawled limply across the curb. Cross got out, bent over the man, noticed that he was still warm. Maybe he had been hit by a car or had suffered a heart attack, Cross thought Just then, a car pulled up. "This man's been hurt," Cross said. "Help me get him into my car so I can take him to a hospital." "I can't. My ankle's broken.'' The man pointed to a cast on his leg and crutches on the front seat beside him. "But I'll call the morgue." When the car drove off, Cross ran to his own car and raced to a police station. A physician summoned from a nearby hospital reported the man in the park had been shot and pronounced him dead. The man's pockets yielded a few coins and a comb, but no wallet or identification. Later in the day, cleaning marks on the man's trousers were traced and indicated the victim was Fred Gates, who lived on the north side, miles from where the body was found. His sister identified the body at the morgue. " Detectives George Lundt and Ed Woodrich questioned the sister, other relatives, and friends. Gates, they said, was a mild-manner- ed, well-lik- ed man who had no enemies. They could suggest no motive for the murder. His sister said Fred had gone out the night before to visit friends and hadn't returned. He worked as a truck driver and was a Navy veteran. The friends said Fred had been with them and named half a dozen places where he might have stopped on the way home. The detectives checked and found Fred had stopped at one of the places, leaving at about 11 o'clock. There the trail ended. Captain Golden put down the reports. "He was killed by the man with the broken ankle," he told Woodrich and Lundt 4Try to find if Gates was seen with a man in a cast That's the murderer." The detectives began canvassing taverns, drugstores, and restaurants, going a mile in each direction from Gates' home. Finally, after dozens of fruitless calls, they found a restaurant manager who recalled that Gates had stopped in for a sandwich and pop between 11 and midnight. Fred was a great Softball fan and had started talking about games he had seen. Another man in the restaurant had made a caustic com and Brewer strode out of the courtroom into the waiting arms of the detectives. Brewer admitted being with Gates, who had a well-fillwallet When Brewer tried to rob him, Gates resisted and was shot. Realizing Gates was dead, Brewer drove to Lin- -, coin Park and dumped the body on the lonely drive. "Why did you return?" Captain Golden asked. "I got to thinking that Gates might not be dead after all. If he wasn't he'd tell- -" As Brewer was being led away to a cell, Woodrich asked Captain Golden: "Why were you so dead certain, that he was the killer?" "He was too eager to get the body to the morgue," Golden replied. "That could playing Softball." About one o'clock, Gates and the man in the cast had left. The restaurant manager had heard Gates call the other man Mel. That was all they had. A man named Mel whose leg was in a cast. How was he to be found in a city of four million people? Assuming that his first name was Melvin, the detectives began canvassing north-sid- e hospitals. They ran down half a dozen false leads, but kept doggedly at the task. At the 40th hospital, there was a record of a Melvin Brewer who had broken his ankle playing softbalL The ankle had healed, the cast had been removed, and Brewer had mean only one thing he been discharged.

"Maybe he's been in trouble before," said Captain Golden. "Check the records." The files yielded just one, entry on Brewer.
