Fenner, Joe. Joe Fenner was created by Charles S. Wolfe and appeared in three stories in Electrical Experimenter in 1920 and 1921, beginning with “The Phantom Arm” (Electrical Experimenter, June 1920).

Joe Fenner is an intelligent and imaginative college student who is consulted by Davidson, the local Chief of Police, on crimes that seem to have a scientific slant. Davidson is a rough, brutal man, but he is smart enough to know when he's out of his depth. Fenner inevitably discovers the source of the crime and catches the bad guys for Davidson. Fenner deals with radio-controlled drone planes used for murder, wireless transmission of power, and a locked room mystery.
