Inden fredag, April 7, 1916, var over, Lewis brødrene ville dræbe to St. Louis Politibetjente, John McKenna og William Dillon. McKenna var den første til at falde, da han afbrød brødrene forsøger at stjæle ledning, a valuable commodity during World War I.

Den spanske Cape Mystery (1935) er en tilpasning af en af Ellery Queen-romanerne. To fætre, Frederic Dannay og Manfred Lee, der skrev en række kriminalromaner under pseudonymet titelrollen.
