It was found that Mr. Ridley had owned extensive property uptown as well as many an East Side tenement. In his bank was over $1,000,000 in cash. His will left $812,000 to relatives who had not seen him for years. A bequest of $200,000 was left Weinstein provided the latter survived him. Police medical examiners were hard put to tell which victim had predeceased the other. Since neither body was robbed, it was supposed that some obscure revenge had motivated the crime. A bootlegger's hideout, discovered deep in the same old building, darkened the mystery further. Old Ridley was a hard man to deal with, dealt severely with his tenants. A clue which fitted nowhere was the discovery that Weinstein had been secretly married for eight years to a woman calling herself Mrs. Jack Lee. And the bullets which killed Weinstein came from the same gun which killed Moench two years before.
