Halsey, Harlan Page, 1839?-1898

"Oscar the Detective Or, Dudie Dunne, The Exquisite Detective"

"
The men sent out and got a paper, and the first headline that met their
eyes was:
"A Great Capture--Tom ----, the Worst Thief and Most Dangerous Bank
Robber New York has Harbored for Many Years was Captured Last Night
by a very Clever Piece of Detective Strategy and is Now at Police
Headquarters."
The men trembled and one asked:
"What will we do?"
Another answered:
"I don't think the climate of New York agrees with me at this season of
the year."
The others came to the same conclusion, and one said:
"We're in luck if we get away, but there is no time to lose."
The three men quietly glided from the saloon with countenances on which
was written all evidences of terror.


CHAPTER III.
A FEW WORDS AS TO THE REAL IDENTITY OF DUDIE
DUNNE--THE DETECTIVE STARTS OUT ON A FRESH "LAY,"
AND AS A CHAPPIE SWEET CLOSES IN ON COMRADE NUMBER
TWO.

There was nothing noteworthy in the career of Dudie or rather Oscar
Dunne up to the time he entered upon the police force beyond the fact
that he was of a very remarkable physical make-up.
