Title
Another Yardley Mystery
Abstract
In 1931, Herbert Yardley published his best selling tell-all book The American Black Chamber (ABC). Preparatory to the publication of ABC, Yardley excerpted parts of the book in three Saturday Evening Post articles: Secret Inks, Codes, and Ciphers. During the same year, Yardley also published two more articles in Liberty Magazine, “Are We Giving Away Our State Secrets?” and “Double Crossing America”. Six months after the ABC was released, a final Saturday Evening Post article, Cryptograms and Their Solution, was published. This last article differs substantially in style from the other articles. This paper examines whether that article was, in fact, written by Herbert Yardley.
