rookedness in which he and others had aided Stephen Ruthley。
 While Lieutenant Maclare and his loyal men stood stern and motionless; Judge Benbrook turned to Louis Wilderton。 Calmly; the gray…haired jurist reminded the district attorney that the meeting hour had arrived。 It was time for them to depart this scene and carry the news of real reform to honest men who had been Stephen Ruthley's dupes。
 The space in the wall was blank。 The Shadow had not returned to it。 From somewhere off in the depths of the adjoining vacant house came a weird; mirthless laugh that might have echoed from another sphere of space。 The eerie tone faded; bringing silence。
 That laugh was The Shadow's final triumph。
 It marked the end of another life…risking battle against crime; and at the same time it presaged greater difficulties ahead。 The Shadow; who escaped death a million times; was to face a new kind of death; and a new kind of crime; in Death by Proxy; matching his wits against the wits of a master villain; and stacking his two guns against the arms of dozens of hirelings。 A strange menace hung over an ancient family home; death struck with uncanny regularity。 Into this scene of fear and danger The Shadow must enter; here he must fight anew that justice would not be misled; that criminals get their deserved punishment … death; real death; not Death by Proxy。
