And So to Murder by John Dickson Carr (writing as Carter Dickson)

DEATH RIDES THE TUBEâ€¦
The speaking-tube whistled. Monica flew at it. "Who are you? What do you want?"
She bent her cheek to the mouth of the tube to listen for an answer. Something was happening inside the tube. She jumped back.
Something which looked like water, but was not water, spurted in a jet from the mouth of the tube. It splashed across the linoleum.
There was a hissing, sizzling noise as half a pint of vitriol began to eat into the surface of the floor.
The footsteps in the room above began to run.
