policeman this hand you see I have to
prove things of course if I were a super
detective like mr. Stone right in his
place why I saw this entire crime by
noticing the way smiley passes eyebrows
and I'd make the police look like a lot
of monkeys while I did it I never tried
to belittle a police well you succeeded
quite well without time perhaps you can
tell me just what happened here and save
me all that trouble calls again Linda I
even the policeman should be able to get
the answer to this murder
you know I'm inclined to agree with you
trouble between us.

well how do we begin I'm the faintest
idea I told you I'm no detective I wanna
did sometimes I get so disgusted with
you I could well I almost we were in the
wrong place
anyway we know who killed Harper the
real mystery is who killed Holden
well we can practice looking for clues
here and go to the apartment later all
right you have my future all plan
doesn't you more than you think huh I
didn't hear a shot I don't know the size
of the wound Connor must have been shot
with a cannon and I'm not hard of
hearing oh well come along it's almost
7:30 you know Greg something wrong with
this murder
don't tell me you think that is wrong so
the way you would be behaving mom would
think it was just a pleasant way to
spend the dollar after noon
seriously though there's something about
a lot of key it doesn't fit in with the
rest I don't know what you're raving
about is all cut and dried
Holden came into the reception room laid
low net officer Toccata I came in here
then he came in through that door and
blurry blurry return to his office
coming out to the reception room that's
it he came into the reception room and
went off to the reception room yeah
that's exactly what the second room is
our fault but there's a door from.
Holden's office leading into the
corridor so why should he pray pass the
smoke coming in past me going out well
what difference did it make
and another thing when they left the
office why does a dash out so suddenly I
know why Holden Lee did he went to
answer that telephone call
remember that accounts for Holden the
white is Carter scram first hmm oh oh he
probably had an uncontrollable desire
for a cannibal ice cream sundae that's
right yes cute just one on the verge of
a discovery come on is getting late I've
got it Carter heard that phone call -
over the extension his phone was off the
hook remember not fair mr. Evans not
fair
now if we only knew what that phone call
collision pose related when you found
that out shall we
the speaking of uh New York if we don't
- get to with offices at the reserves
- outlet he bought us
We pull the piece and then grab me
alright sorry I have to do it
that's my stand there and let the
murderer scary come on in
Conway oh yes Tyson guarding out as he
told me when he found you snooping
around come on have a go hope I didn't
hurt you too much that you came at me so
quickly is it like a tiger I was pushed
you mind telling me just what you're
doing here I didn't want to come here
but she insisted on working out the
correct solution to this mystery in his
own way he came here looking for
evidence and clues you're kind of a big
boy to be playing cops and robbers
aren't you by the way yes what are you
doing here oh I'm paid for it
here waste of taxpayers money probably
so let's get out of the station before
we waste too much come on don't let five
jump ahead of police already I'll do
anything to help uh-huh Greg doesn't
need any help and mrs. Stone found out
- anything definite of course who do the
- thing
Well I I guess that's that thank you
very much mr. Stone I'm going out
I have course run along Thanks here's
the preliminary on holding all tank or
stone yeah
wait a minute will you I've missed and
miss crackling Sam what
and you got dog to you that wire how
you've each told me individually that
you saw Holden is approximately 440 when
he left the office after killing Carter
now is that correct right
where were you between two and thirty
five why I was in the reception office
dictating to me
smiley how about you a couple of guys
get smudged at four forty and we've got
to give out advice a two and three aisle
are you I was at a movie watching
Shirley Temple why was I get a bang out
of that kid and you're all convinced
that Holden kill car oh well that's the
first time I have inure corpse to commit
murder.
Oh what do you mean well here's the
coroner's preliminary report it is the
opinion of the examiner that the
deceased met death between 2:00 and 3:00
o'clock in the afternoon
if possible but we all saw him of course
we did and one of three things is true
either the coroner's mistaken all.
Holden's corpse killed Carter or else
- you're the three biggest liars listen to
- me I searched
Oh thanks for the lift and goodnight
oh wait a minute I'm coming with oh no
you're not oh but I want to help solve
this mystery
I'm fed up with our mystery I'm going to
bed yes it's a minute pal

reasonable William how can you expect me
to solve a mystery to has the entire
homicide squad biting its nail if they
can't crack it
now what has the police stop that you
haven't done everything a complete set
of reports on the whole case for example
you mean those papers O'Neill kept
looking at sure you had that stuff could
you work out the answers but I haven't
got a son already try oh so you just

Gregor you must tell me who killed
Norman Carter ah
so the morning golfer Carter is it dark
or tell me who was it a murder do I have
the vaguest eyes I know better than that
well it's a lot of nonsense but you are
trying to solve the case.
Linda said you were Linda is a one-woman
misinformation Bureau I might be able to
help you
I tell you I don't want help I'm not
interested in the murder mystery all I
want is a nice hot bath and get to bed
and there's always been terrible jealous
of me mrs. Holden I am not in the least
interested but yesterday he accused me
of having an affair with Lloyd Schaeffer.
Chifa yes will be utterly absurd to
anyone but Ellis after all safer knows
how powerful Ellis wasn't theatrical
circle well I hate to appear rude but if
I years ago I was playing up as a a
well-known actor Ellis crude jealous I'm
and smashed his whole career Schaefer
knows all about that may I suggest that
you tell all this to lieutenant O'Neil
and leave me alone please
did you don't hello oh hello no just in
time to take mrs. Holden home I just saw
this in children's column and I want to
do this anything about the murder
nothing doing don't at all if you put.
South Oh will you both promise to get
out of here if I let you have your say
yes I thought I'd only want help or I
don't go ahead guys come along now let's
have it
well I I don't know whether this has
anything to do with the affair when she
forgave him I notice today he said don't
feel too bad about I'll be directing for
a new set of reducers before long and I
won't forget you and what is so
suspicious about that my Schaefer was
tied to both Catherine Holden under a
long-term contract the same as you are
oh and you think you committed murder to
break the contract
what not sure and you think that I
didn't I had the same motive I wouldn't
think of accusing you that's very sweet
of you but now they're getting very late
and I'm very tired so if you
good evening oh I'm so glad you glad to
see me rock your presence will go crazy

Hello stone say have you seen this in
the paper here yes I know I know I know
the papers all wrong
I'm not trying to solve any murder
another you interested in the bill good
night listen why don't you go to work on
this thing and try to figure it out
the police are quite able should no
they're not because the police don't
know the truth the facts have all been
twisted around but they even think that
I have something to do with O'Neill's a
capable man he's not going to see an
innocent person suffers no for hurt
something at the pnath day at Faro
between Holden who's white mr. Chamber
tell him the rest I didn't know you were
here
obviously so I'm telling why we were
quarreling July weather quarreling mrs.
Ellis accused me of having an affair
with this man that is true so true or
not true my lack of interested liquor
laughter so if you're all clear out how
did something else what when I was
checking the Pops after the rehearsal
that football for the forest used was
missing you mean their black garbage
pistol yes and a box of blanks now
listen Lord why don't you go home and
get this key you're all upset and if you
are not don't try to be funny stone I
don't know what connection a missing
blank cartridge of Alba could have with
a crime but I am interested in seeing
the men I captured why are you so
interested well because I'm under
suspicion thanks to you and your lying
tongue
you told O'Neill that I hated your
husband and you let Ellis believe I was
in love with you so he wouldn't suspect
either I'm not going to take the rap for
a double-crossing little song hey hey
hey hey hey this party's gettin awfully
dull how about playing a game of.

discover anything well trying discover
anything just curious to see how these
reports we made out did they give us the
mention I seem to be suspect number one
you look at this is lipsti athlete set
down you bloodthirsty redhead carton
that room was made by a no ordinary
bullet must have been a dum-dum what
your top see says the fatal bullet pass
clear through the body but they couldn't
find a slug that is strange
maybe it got stuck in the wall or
something oh no didn't just looking at
this cross sketch and the note made by
the officer in charge q no mention of
any slug here Z oh they must have
overlooked it
oh no those boys don't miss anything
look at the details in these notes
cigarette ashes on the carpet not stains
on the rug dried ink on the floor oh I
thought that last week burnt matches in
the ashtray and half a cup of water on
holding death what's that hmm
fingerprints probably that is it look up
3737 mere sample at lab lad I inspector
lab report yes it did
3700 walk petrolatum with pigmentation
traces what subtle item soon find out
it is
three jetrel district assistants Tetro.
Latham a basic chemical compound
markedly oleaginous used extensively in
the manufacture of salves cosmetics
anointment obviously Hollen had just
shaken hands to the manufacturing
chemist holy couldn't had a grease on
his hand we saw him open other doors and
has no no taste of any grease marks on
there let's see what they've got on.
Holies matter let's find out if possible
what is according to this Holden was
killed by Carter I told you the police's
ball everything up unless you stepped in
it's ridiculous
yeah but Carter sneaker prints were all
over the place even on holding his
collar the autopsy shows fibers on.
Carter's ham fibers from the querque
cords of holding respect which and
here's that coroner's report stating
positively that Holden was killed before
three o'clock ah
the whole thing's screwy I'm getting so
mixed up I'm beginning to believe that
maybe I see me to the murders myself
Carter killed boldness 2:30
then the court gets up walks halfway
across town leaves grease marks without
any green juice Carter without any
bullet returns home without being seen
ties drove up in a way that he couldn't
have done and then waits for the police
- what do you make of that madhouse holy
- cats smoke

on the early plane for the West Coast
that she'd be on a to lying you kill

he hasn't been nerve to pump anybody off
you're gonna behave you know what's
gonna happen to you if you talk too much
or go on beat it
hey where you pick your boy how where
things are getting a little dull here
I'm going to the Putnam library library
that's right come back another neat
piece

don't want to be disturbed
hey what bet you got an idea
where you going home and give it at this
masquerade costume and then down to the
theater the see who shows up for
rehearsal
here's Miss and maybe she knows
something about it over wineries you
know and donate I use every jewelry
campaign for me losing my contrary buddy
quiet now I don't know whether the play
is going to open a close any more than
you do
is it true that mr. stone knows who
killed poor mr. Holden a mystic Artes
yes it is me mr. solo is keeping all his
information to himself he hasn't told
the police who mr. Spex
he hasn't even told me why hadn't they
told me because he wanted to make sure
certain facts I'm to meet him at the.
Putman library at 3 o'clock to help and
he really would have a Tarvin at 3:30
he will be in O'Neill's office giving
him the whole lowdown yes well my will
anybody go home now and I'll let you
know if we start rehearsals a game Oh
miss Ann yes what is it
may I see you a minute you're going to
see mr. Stone yes there's something I
want you to tell him it's about forest
last night he kept phoning me he wanted
me to leave town with him I wouldn't
occur of course this morning he came to
bring me here and I'm afraid he's losing
his mind and I'm terribly frightened you
will tell mr. Stone I most certainly
will think.
Ebury our pal Linda what kind of game
you think you're playing I'm disguised
pretty good hey what have you been
eating Limburger no garlic it's part of
the describe keeps people from getting
too close to me want to get you deported
hey I got some information for you yeah
well mail it to me
but listen break it to Bob Beverly yes I
know I know I know
she told you what only possible alibi
denied calling Forrest said that he'd
phoned her who told you nobody told me I
guess that would be a next move then you
think he murdered those two men it's not
certain about that but I knew she was a
motivating force hey take a look at that
what is it man to report of a suicide in
Hungary about a year ago man killed
himself with water town himself you
might bring it to your nose
let me didn't drown himself he shot
himself shot himself with water when
it's impossible
never that has it happened here the
history of the case what is more the
wound was identical with that of cotton
oh hey you remember in that peace report
about that half cup of water on holders
desk yeah
don't see yes just nod your head well
the murderer took the black cartridge
system both water down the battle then
press the muscle against Carter side
that's why you never had in the shop hey
laughing goofy wasn't guilty he's very
smart he knew that any bullet can be
traced to the gum from which it's fired
and he wanted the police to assume that
Carter had been shot at holding his gun
oh then you think with somebody other
than hold and it killed Carter right who
we saw hole you go in the office to come
out ah
did we of course we did yeah all right
read that that's blatant face use the
stage makeup just everything set
everything
wasn't everything's set oh nothing
where's that man just a calf I happen to
know hey hey what have you got in that
bag a horseshoe of course not why should
I tell you
hoarsely my first of all the ridiculous
ideas
what's the cannon fault well now how
ever did that get in there Linda well
you must know I brought it along to help
protect you protect me but but but I'm
not in any danger
oh yes you are the murderer is about to
kill you any minute now
look kidding aren't you
you're not see I arranged it you were a
to have me murdered
oh no only to have the murderer try to
kill you but don't worry the police are
here we're everywhere
I got an idea I told a suspect that you
knew which one was guilty and it should
be here at 3 o'clock but you wouldn't
tell O'Neill who it was until 3:30 Oh
thereby giving the murderer and full
time to assassinate me before I get to
will kneel exactly then I arrange to go
me over have his men here but I made him
promise that when the murderer was
caught he'll give you all the credit
oh how sweet of you I suppose you'll
have it nicely engraved on my tombstone
oh please look boy listen do you think I
gotta stay here to be live bait but I'm
crazy get the others and surround the
building.

hurry oh yeah I suppose you all had a
telephone call telling you to meet me
here at 3 o'clock a well corner little
one here for this minute alright on what
do you make out of it it's obvious the
murder offenders before well had it been
successful in killing me anyone here
present could have been suspected I
believe that's it the killer's right
here in this function there's nothing we
can do about it all right boys frisk
them and if they're clean let them go
down fair before you wear groove in that
rug the final edge over a strong got me
into a den courts are my accomplice will
hear somebody would take a potshot at me
well it seemed like a good idea you get
off that spot anytime you want do you
know uh-huh yes simply catch the
murderer and your worries oh yeah
nothing to it oh no just a simple thing
like that from the way you talk to the
library I thought you knew who did it I
think I know how it was done but only
would never believe it
say the word and I'll have the boys make
him believe it huh anything you want
just name it clothes I could go to Lulu
and tell you what I know but he wouldn't
believe it it's too fantastic that's
just what the murderer counted on

boys came to take a long cast taking
plenty before okay come on enough we're
going to work what are you gonna do what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna light the script

Jim the house all right Linda Linda come
on come on boys faces well looks like
the show is going to begin
I guess it's absurd it's not really
ridiculous no must be insane well maybe
we all are right down you have been
brought here to witness the reenactment
of what occurred yesterday afternoon I
reconstructed the happening started from
what I know and plaster from what I have
been able to deduce why boys
mr. Sherwood will take the bottom is to
hold it mr. Lonsdale will portray mr.
Carter and mr. Johnson the murderer but
this is a first
he can't authorship
and she says gods to hear my heart
calling telling you that I had dog nest
that go ahead type it up hello are the
changes coming they'll be ready in a few
minutes

lowdown on that wife of yours who are
you never mind that just meet me at your
apartment and I'll tell you enough about
her and our boyfriends to curl your hair
over there as soon as I can
no smarty clap it's time yes sir give it
the man who made that phone call had no
intention of meeting holder he merely
wanted to get him out of the office so
that he the murderer would kill Carter
but the ruse field because Casa /
hearses and rushed to the apartment to
get there first and silence the person
he thought was going to betray him what
happened at the apartment is obvious.
Carlton Holden met thought and Holden
was killed Carter affected victims to
throw the suspicion upon smiling then
you return to the office to take all the
valuables out of the state but the
murderer waiting for Carter got there
first to show you what happened after
that
that's a nice job of reconstruction
where to posture absolutely here we are
again I'm sick and tired of waiting
he'll be back soon poor mr. Holden about
those change later but I'll be waiting
yes mr. Ross what time we were getting
back those changes are ready and time
now
why it's impossible it's absolutely
impossible possible
but it happened but there's the one weak
link in your reasoning you knew Holden
and no man impersonating him could fool
you
nevertheless it is the man who did Oh a
man who was mad in love with Beverly.
Drake the man whose career Holden one
smashed the man whom she goaded into
killing kata in such a way that a
husband would be blamed thereby freeing
her from both men it isn't true
you're making it up all of it you know
you didn't do the other look look at

policeman this hand you see I have to

of monkeys while I did it I never tried
to belittle a police well you succeeded
quite well without time perhaps you can
tell me just what happened here and save
me all that trouble calls again Linda I
even the policeman should be able to get
the answer to this murder

rest I don't know what you're raving
about is all cut and dried
Holden came into the reception room laid
low net officer Toccata I came in here
then he came in through that door and
blurry blurry return to his office
coming out to the reception room that's
it he came into the reception room and
went off to the reception room yeah
that's exactly what the second room is
our fault but there's a door from.
Holden's office leading into the
corridor so why should he pray pass the
smoke coming in past me going out well
what difference did it make
and another thing when they left the
office why does a dash out so suddenly I
know why Holden Lee did he went to
answer that telephone call
remember that accounts for Holden the
white is Carter scram first hmm oh oh he
probably had an uncontrollable desire
for a cannibal ice cream sundae that's
right yes cute just one on the verge of
a discovery come on is getting late I've
got it Carter heard that phone call -
over the extension his phone was off the
hook remember not fair mr. Evans not
fair
now if we only knew what that phone call
collision pose related when you found
that out shall we
the speaking of uh New York if we don't
- get to with offices at the reserves
- outlet he bought us
We pull the piece and then grab me
alright sorry I have to do it
that's my stand there and let the
murderer scary come on in
Conway oh yes Tyson guarding out as he
told me when he found you snooping
around come on have a go hope I didn't
hurt you too much that you came at me so
quickly is it like a tiger I was pushed
you mind telling me just what you're
doing here I didn't want to come here
but she insisted on working out the
correct solution to this mystery in his
own way he came here looking for
evidence and clues you're kind of a big
boy to be playing cops and robbers
aren't you by the way yes what are you
doing here oh I'm paid for it
here waste of taxpayers money probably
so let's get out of the station before
we waste too much come on don't let five
jump ahead of police already I'll do
anything to help uh-huh Greg doesn't
need any help and mrs. Stone found out
- anything definite of course who do the
- thing
Well I I guess that's that thank you

the preliminary on holding all tank or
stone yeah
wait a minute will you I've missed and
miss crackling Sam what
and you got dog to you that wire how
you've each told me individually that
you saw Holden is approximately 440 when
he left the office after killing Carter

first time I have inure corpse to commit
murder.
Oh what do you mean well here's the
coroner's preliminary report it is the
opinion of the examiner that the
deceased met death between 2:00 and 3:00
o'clock in the afternoon
if possible but we all saw him of course
we did and one of three things is true
either the coroner's mistaken all.
Holden's corpse killed Carter or else

homicide squad biting its nail if they
can't crack it

I tell you I don't want help I'm not
interested in the murder mystery all I
want is a nice hot bath and get to bed
and there's always been terrible jealous
of me mrs. Holden I am not in the least
interested but yesterday he accused me
of having an affair with Lloyd Schaeffer.
Chifa yes will be utterly absurd to
anyone but Ellis after all safer knows
how powerful Ellis wasn't theatrical
circle well I hate to appear rude but if
I years ago I was playing up as a a
well-known actor Ellis crude jealous I'm
and smashed his whole career Schaefer
knows all about that may I suggest that
you tell all this to lieutenant O'Neil
and leave me alone please
did you don't hello oh hello no just in
time to take mrs. Holden home I just saw
this in children's column and I want to
do this anything about the murder

anything to do with the affair when she
forgave him I notice today he said don't
feel too bad about I'll be directing for
a new set of reducers before long and I
won't forget you and what is so
suspicious about that my Schaefer was
tied to both Catherine Holden under a
long-term contract the same as you are
oh and you think you committed murder to
break the contract

didn't I had the same motive I wouldn't

the papers all wrong
I'm not trying to solve any murder
another you interested in the bill good
night listen why don't you go to work on
this thing and try to figure it out
the police are quite able should no
they're not because the police don't
know the truth the facts have all been
twisted around but they even think that
I have something to do with O'Neill's a
capable man he's not going to see an
innocent person suffers no for hurt
something at the pnath day at Faro
between Holden who's white mr. Chamber
tell him the rest I didn't know you were
here
obviously so I'm telling why we were
quarreling July weather quarreling mrs.
Ellis accused me of having an affair
with this man that is true so true or
not true my lack of interested liquor
laughter so if you're all clear out how
did something else what when I was
checking the Pops after the rehearsal

get this key you're all upset and if you
are not don't try to be funny stone I
don't know what connection a missing
blank cartridge of Alba could have with
a crime but I am interested in seeing
the men I captured why are you so
interested well because I'm under
suspicion thanks to you and your lying
tongue
you told O'Neill that I hated your
husband and you let Ellis believe I was
in love with you so he wouldn't suspect
either I'm not going to take the rap for
a double-crossing little song hey hey

reports we made out did they give us the
mention I seem to be suspect number one
you look at this is lipsti athlete set
down you bloodthirsty redhead carton
that room was made by a no ordinary
bullet must have been a dum-dum what
your top see says the fatal bullet pass
clear through the body but they couldn't
find a slug that is strange
maybe it got stuck in the wall or
something oh no didn't just looking at
this cross sketch and the note made by
the officer in charge q no mention of
any slug here Z oh they must have
overlooked it
oh no those boys don't miss anything
look at the details in these notes
cigarette ashes on the carpet not stains
on the rug dried ink on the floor oh I
thought that last week burnt matches in
the ashtray and half a cup of water on
holding death what's that hmm
fingerprints probably that is it look up
3737 mere sample at lab lad I inspector
lab report yes it did
3700 walk petrolatum with pigmentation
traces what subtle item soon find out
it is
three jetrel district assistants Tetro.
Latham a basic chemical compound
markedly oleaginous used extensively in
the manufacture of salves cosmetics
anointment obviously Hollen had just
shaken hands to the manufacturing
chemist holy couldn't had a grease on
his hand we saw him open other doors and
has no no taste of any grease marks on
there let's see what they've got on.
Holies matter let's find out if possible
what is according to this Holden was
killed by Carter I told you the police's
ball everything up unless you stepped in
it's ridiculous
yeah but Carter sneaker prints were all
over the place even on holding his
collar the autopsy shows fibers on.
Carter's ham fibers from the querque
cords of holding respect which and
here's that coroner's report stating
positively that Holden was killed before
three o'clock ah
the whole thing's screwy I'm getting so
mixed up I'm beginning to believe that
maybe I see me to the murders myself
Carter killed boldness 2:30
then the court gets up walks halfway
across town leaves grease marks without
any green juice Carter without any
bullet returns home without being seen
ties drove up in a way that he couldn't
have done and then waits for the police
- what do you make of that madhouse holy
- cats smoke
Oh

female garments I got it
I'll wait are those people do you any
good
shut up most of not looking remover and
I'm in a worse model than before at any
suspect at the moment everybody that
motivations access and the temperament
to commit murder meaning lots of people
had access to holding the door of his
office and the back end is to his
apartment with those unlocked about half.
New York has sufficient motive you know
theatrical producers make many enemies
and then Holderman married were very
beautiful woman.
Jennifer may have ended in today we know
the Carter was in Nevada far as to
probably a score of others why only
yesterday he accused her of having an
affair with Shaffer boss afer denies it
didn't expect him to admit it did you
oddly well hmm oh well as Beverly has
helped I don't see how you okay wise guy
if you think I had anything to do with
that killing I don't know if you did or
if you did I just told you I didn't
yeah exactly everybody else kept me up
loose with a nice line to tell me the
same thing

live-in manhandle like this I'll get the
police shirt off your back of this you

I'm not giving honest I didn't kill
those men running away with her I was
going away with her you're going away

night late last night she was crying she
said she couldn't stand the questioning
in the browbeating any longer and that
she wanted to get out of towns and was
all over she asked you to go with her
yes she told me to get a ticket and be
on the early plane for the West Coast
that she'd be on a to lying you kill
those two people no no I didn't do it I
was only trying to help her
I guess he's on the level
he hasn't been nerve to pump anybody off
you're gonna behave you know what's
gonna happen to you if you talk too much
or go on beat it
hey where you pick your boy how where
things are getting a little dull here
I'm going to the Putnam library library
that's right come back another neat
piece
no I'm going to be there all day and I
don't want to be disturbed
hey what bet you got an idea
where you going home and give it at this
masquerade costume and then down to the
theater the see who shows up for
rehearsal
here's Miss and maybe she knows
something about it over wineries you
know and donate I use every jewelry
campaign for me losing my contrary buddy
quiet now I don't know whether the play
is going to open a close any more than
you do
is it true that mr. stone knows who
killed poor mr. Holden a mystic Artes
yes it is me mr. solo is keeping all his
information to himself he hasn't told
the police who mr. Spex
he hasn't even told me why hadn't they
told me because he wanted to make sure
certain facts I'm to meet him at the.
Putman library at 3 o'clock to help and
he really would have a Tarvin at 3:30
he will be in O'Neill's office giving
him the whole lowdown yes well my will
anybody go home now and I'll let you
know if we start rehearsals a game Oh
miss Ann yes what is it
may I see you a minute you're going to
see mr. Stone yes there's something I
want you to tell him it's about forest
last night he kept phoning me he wanted
me to leave town with him I wouldn't
occur of course this morning he came to
bring me here and I'm afraid he's losing
his mind and I'm terribly frightened you
will tell mr. Stone I most certainly
will think.
Ebury our pal Linda what kind of game
you think you're playing I'm disguised
pretty good hey what have you been
eating Limburger no garlic it's part of
the describe keeps people from getting
too close to me want to get you deported
hey I got some information for you yeah
well mail it to me
but listen break it to Bob Beverly yes I
know I know I know
she told you what only possible alibi
denied calling Forrest said that he'd
phoned her who told you nobody told me I
guess that would be a next move then you
think he murdered those two men it's not
certain about that but I knew she was a
motivating force hey take a look at that
what is it man to report of a suicide in
Hungary about a year ago man killed
himself with water town himself you
might bring it to your nose
let me didn't drown himself he shot
himself shot himself with water when
it's impossible
never that has it happened here the
history of the case what is more the
wound was identical with that of cotton
oh hey you remember in that peace report
about that half cup of water on holders
desk yeah
don't see yes just nod your head well
the murderer took the black cartridge
system both water down the battle then
press the muscle against Carter side
that's why you never had in the shop hey
laughing goofy wasn't guilty he's very
smart he knew that any bullet can be
traced to the gum from which it's fired
and he wanted the police to assume that
Carter had been shot at holding his gun
oh then you think with somebody other
than hold and it killed Carter right who
we saw hole you go in the office to come
out ah
did we of course we did yeah all right
read that that's blatant face use the
stage makeup just everything set
everything
wasn't everything's set oh nothing
where's that man just a calf I happen to
know hey hey what have you got in that
bag a horseshoe of course not why should
I tell you
hoarsely my first of all the ridiculous
ideas
what's the cannon fault well now how
ever did that get in there Linda well
you must know I brought it along to help
protect you protect me but but but I'm
not in any danger
oh yes you are the murderer is about to
kill you any minute now
look kidding aren't you
you're not see I arranged it you were a
to have me murdered
oh no only to have the murderer try to
kill you but don't worry the police are
here we're everywhere
I got an idea I told a suspect that you
knew which one was guilty and it should
be here at 3 o'clock but you wouldn't
tell O'Neill who it was until 3:30 Oh
thereby giving the murderer and full
time to assassinate me before I get to
will kneel exactly then I arrange to go
me over have his men here but I made him
promise that when the murderer was
caught he'll give you all the credit
oh how sweet of you I suppose you'll
have it nicely engraved on my tombstone
oh please look boy listen do you think I
gotta stay here to be live bait but I'm
crazy get the others and surround the
building.

hurry oh yeah I suppose you all had a
telephone call telling you to meet me
here at 3 o'clock a well corner little
one here for this minute alright on what
do you make out of it it's obvious the
murder offenders before well had it been
successful in killing me anyone here
present could have been suspected I
believe that's it the killer's right
here in this function there's nothing we
can do about it all right boys frisk
them and if they're clean let them go
down fair before you wear groove in that
rug the final edge over a strong got me
into a den courts are my accomplice will
hear somebody would take a potshot at me
well it seemed like a good idea you get
off that spot anytime you want do you
know uh-huh yes simply catch the
murderer and your worries oh yeah
nothing to it oh no just a simple thing
like that from the way you talk to the
library I thought you knew who did it I
think I know how it was done but only
would never believe it
say the word and I'll have the boys make
him believe it huh anything you want
just name it clothes I could go to Lulu
and tell you what I know but he wouldn't
believe it it's too fantastic that's
just what the murderer counted on
what do you mean Oh say are you and your
boys came to take a long cast taking
plenty before okay come on enough we're
going to work what are you gonna do what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna light the script

of take a seat in the audience these
gentlemen will show you the way thank
you for coming long boys come on oh good
evening.
Oh what's the matter aren't you in this
show what did this outrage mean why they
brought us here no one will tell me a
thing you know as much about it I do it
alright the stone we're ready to go okay.
Jim the house all right Linda Linda come
on come on boys faces well looks like
the show is going to begin
I guess it's absurd it's not really
ridiculous no must be insane well maybe
we all are right down you have been
brought here to witness the reenactment
of what occurred yesterday afternoon I
reconstructed the happening started from
what I know and plaster from what I have
been able to deduce why boys
mr. Sherwood will take the bottom is to
hold it mr. Lonsdale will portray mr.
Carter and mr. Johnson the murderer but
this is a first
he can't authorship
and she says gods to hear my heart
calling telling you that I had dog nest
that go ahead type it up hello are the
changes coming they'll be ready in a few
minutes
don't leave once I look at that I want
to see them too
yes Alden speaking do you want the
lowdown on that wife of yours who are
you never mind that just meet me at your
apartment and I'll tell you enough about
her and our boyfriends to curl your hair
over there as soon as I can
no smarty clap it's time yes sir give it
the man who made that phone call had no
intention of meeting holder he merely
wanted to get him out of the office so
that he the murderer would kill Carter
but the ruse field because Casa /
hearses and rushed to the apartment to
get there first and silence the person
he thought was going to betray him what
happened at the apartment is obvious.
Carlton Holden met thought and Holden
was killed Carter affected victims to
throw the suspicion upon smiling then
you return to the office to take all the
valuables out of the state but the
murderer waiting for Carter got there
first to show you what happened after
that
that's a nice job of reconstruction
where to posture absolutely here we are
again I'm sick and tired of waiting
he'll be back soon poor mr. Holden about
those change later but I'll be waiting
yes mr. Ross what time we were getting
back those changes are ready and time
now
why it's impossible it's absolutely
impossible possible
but it happened but there's the one weak
link in your reasoning you knew Holden
and no man impersonating him could fool
you
nevertheless it is the man who did Oh a
man who was mad in love with Beverly.
Drake the man whose career Holden one
smashed the man whom she goaded into
killing kata in such a way that a
husband would be blamed thereby freeing
her from both men it isn't true
you're making it up all of it you know
you didn't do the other look look at
that stage Ellis no commander killer you
left it all out what didn't I get it
with his idea whose idea Dennis Dennis.
