Biographie[]
Abe Slaney was a member of an organized criminal group in Chicago. He was the right hand of the boss of the gang, who one day decided to give Abeb his daughter Elsie for his wife. However, the woman did not support her father's activity and one day she left the USA. Slaney set out to search for her. He found Elsie in the Cubitt estate in Derbyshire. To let her know about his presence, Slaney left encrypted news at the house. The cipher he uses was the title Dancing silhouettes, the cipher permanently used by Father Elsie's gang. One evening, having a rather insistent behavior of Abe Elsie invited him home while her husband was sleeping deeply. At least it seemed to her. Elsie tried to convince Abe to leave her alone, even offering him money, but Slaney did not want to agree. When he tried to take a woman with him, Elsie's husband, Hilton with a weapon in his hand, fell into the room. Seeing him, Abe began to approach the open window. At one point he reached for his pistol and both with Hilton fired the arrows. A moment later it turned out that Hilton was shot in the heart and died, and Abe escaped. All the time Slaney was hiding at the Farmer's House of Elridge and returned there after killing Hilton. He did not realize that desperate after her husband's death, Elsie shot her head trying to commit suicide. The next day Slaney received an encrypted message from which he learned to come to the house of Cubitts. Without suspecting, Slaney returned to the property. There, however, he was unexpectedly overpowered and shared by the private detective Sherlock Holmes and the policemen accompanying him. Initially, Slaney behaved mockingly in relation to representatives of the law. When he found out that Elsie tried to commit suicide and was close to death, he went crazy. Policemen managed to calm him down, and Slaney confessed to all crimes, including the persecution of cubitts and the murder of Hilton. After completing the initial testimony, Slaney was taken by policemen. Later, it was mentioned that at first Slaney was sentenced to death by hanging, but due to the fact that Hilton first fired by a split second faster, the first sentence was exchanged for life imprisonment.
