Chief Medical Examiner's journal Sunday, June 22 : The Medical Examiner, Doctor Gleason, found no complications in the method of the fatality. Vane had been instantly killed by a swift blow of the sharp slender blade of the Devil's Dagger. "A wicked piece of furniture," he said, holding the instrument gingerly between his thumb and forefinger. "Only a freakish mind would conceive of using such a thing as a penholder." Carolyn Wells, writing in Prillilgirl, 1924
