American Weekly insert
Said to have been more Manfred's
doing. Over the years several 'true crimes" were published in
American Weekly, an insert in several journals.
Written especially for The American Weekly. Initially
they started with elaborate descriptions from the "Case Book Of True Mysteries" soon to be
followed by series of more 'fictionilized' reports
of true events.
Several distinct series are to be recognized. "The Big
City Police Files" (done by several authors) is one of the first soon followed by 'Ellery
Queen's International Crime File' . This
series had cases which '... have been drawn
both from official archives and confidential sources.' Mr. Queen
usually conceals key identities under fictitious names but in this article,
because the case is a well-know and recent one, he has not done so." The
best of them were compiled into International Casebook
(1954-55). As of November 4th 1956 'Crimes of Passion'
started to be followed by another series 'The Woman in the Case'
(February 16. 1958) which also had it's 'best of' collected in The Woman in the Case
(1958-59). The last series wasn't collected as
such, published under the header 'Masterpieces of Crime Detection' some
stories
were included in the previous collection.
"Death
of a Don Juan"
American Weekly
(September 14, 1952)
"
Many Clues made a famous mystery of the Joseph Elwell Murder Case and
started a new
school of detective fiction."
The Elwell case has been used as the
basis of many crime novels. Supposedly this case resulted in
the formation of
the writing partnership of Ellery Queen.

Taylor Case"
(The Murder Hollywood Can't Forget)
American Weekly
(October 26, 1952)

Murder"
It was an article on the life and death of
William Desmond Taylor, a top
Paramount film director in early Hollywood
who was shot to death on
February 1, 1922. His unsolved murder was one of
Hollywood's major
scandals.
This is the famous killing also involved Mable
Normand and Mary
Miles Minter. Ellery Queen seems to have relied primarily on
Sutherland's 1929
Liberty article.
