last week yesterday john is now now or approaching new york city i've given up trying to figure out where i'll be next because every time i start to like a place the boss calls send me someplace else like now it's cocktail time in johannesburg road and didn't like it a bit when i had to break our date but that happened roger just calls and says get yourself back to new york and explain so here i am the only hope is alters aren't picking up again he can be most disagreeable i got your message i town on agency business and i assume there is no connection between his disappearance and the agency this seems to be strictly domestic and no concern of ours seems assumes you get out to she thinks he did and she's going to be telling anyone to listen to or that he disappeared because of the job that he was working she started stalking the agency is going to be laughed out of town now you find that man and find him click and keep just could have done was given me one night in new york here ready had there's now never forget as long as i live i may have to probably a blonde this week is a real peach in more ways than one i think our car for that is if i get a chase carey will probably meet me at the airport with a bag of apples are yakking about rogers and never give me two minutes to myself welcome back i've been waiting for evidence of anything we kept the case open on our books but the insurance company paid off anyway number three a routine double that debt in that auto accident col and check concurred with that of the police who were satisfied it was just what a lovely case closed for you know right is really blowing up stuff i meant to ask you about that what about me you're fired thanks a lot i'm sorry i asked think nothing of maybe i'll write out from mr rogers a nice letter now there's a few things i've been saving up to say to him like at grab dead you louse rude letter will follow you want an apple no thanks forget it the old man who's down here over  he did your patrol work in seattle and then later he was transferred to family just go we didn't see much of each other i worked days he worked nights so i knew i was playing around but i don't know what i could do about it outside of leaving him i didn't want to do why he needed me he always came back to me i didn't want to hurt  together all of his interests seem to center on the line is that why you became a blo you can't blame a girl for trying well anyway it didn't do much good we talked about divorce and i made up my mind to file but i  just didn't get around to it when i finally decided he'd already broken with the singer he quit his job and we moved on here he was always restless he was always talking about moving someplace else for a while he worked for a small agency and many he got a steady with your company just about that time i realized he was involved with another woman oh i could tell the minute it started he said it was his work that kept him out late i knew better well i finally made up my mind to file but i i don't know i just didn't get around to it now i will do you want of a drink yes please what makes you so sure that you'll go through with the divorce there's time you know i'll tell you something i learned about him by experience women just women they didn't interest him very long maybe three weeks or a month and then he was home again until a new one caught is dancing but if she was gone and had money could buy him things like that seeing her dad he'd stick around until they dropped him but when this one drops of he's not going to crawl back to the lowest i've had it be a long time to make up my i guess it is i did everything i could to hold onto i'm glad you can you don't understand bennett off that she was wearing it was insured for twenty five thousand dollars she removed it and handed it to the man who told mr carr to stop he opened the door got out told him to drive fast not to look around and not to turn back re it's reasonable to assume that she would have said that the man stuck a gun in the back of her husband's neck the word automatic was someone else's word someone that wanted an automatic in the car that night because he probably on a thirty two special revolving off but we keep working i see it's mostly negative work we circulate a description of the article keep an eye on the well known fences and let it go at that shows up sooner or later altered or broken down some way but it turn it's too late he's dead talk to me boy when they farmed salmon fifty miles from here i'm going to run over you want to come along  shall die i don't know a thing about it all i know is a body was found in a cabin the phone connection was very bad a week he was passing the bally place and swung his flashlight around saying the door was open so i went in there was the bottom but i'm a damn fool got excited and got his car stuck in the mud almost plenty of columns of facts around but no sign of anyone else but a woman's got to figure in this some of the lighter matches and the grocery they all bill collett was murdered talked over the case with maybe other times when the two of you were alone together i don't like that implication to all and i don't either but i've got a very strong feeling about you i don't think the college just walked up to you on the street not a hot and they were going to find out how much you needed the money i mean how much your husband needed the money because he may have been on the game too never going to find got nasty and you had to pay him off to shut him up and then we're going to see if you were you and if you were we're going to hang on murder rap on you now sweetheart you don't have to listen to a word i say i just want to know what you're going to order  the kind of a silly question for go doesn't keep a diary maybe you should try to remember we could go tonight and i took my husband to the airport trying to remember what i did so i'm afraid i haven't an alibi everything  motive and opportunity you're smart enough for the part you can't be serious  a boy down by pay attention now it was a very simple thing to find out that bailey was going to spend an extra month in chicago all i had to do was call it office call and could have very well done the same thing all right we know where he he objected she insisted and finally failing to get her way went back into the club and phone for a taxi drove off alone this is partner had kept the cab waiting while she had two or three drinks with some friends the friend turned out to be two men should never met before she was in the cabin on her way home about fifteen minutes after putting her gone all in a body you know you could be arrested for what you're thinking go ahead there the police report is that one of their patrol cars to pass fortner including the two hundred thousand from us but the accidents that allude there you can take a rest the night  sure the foreigners never came in here with anyone else they were good customers and i do remember there was anything different or part of why i don't do the same as i told the other detective gordon was always left to go the to go pretty well he always seemed to be able to get home and she always left with the thank you for the information terribly important terribly i i talk not to me maybe but to the police i may have to drag you all the way to san bernardino but you're going to talk i assure you so i have nothing to talk about this is louis and i retired about eight unless there's a party and we are needed we serve breakfast at nine in the truths in or out of the conversation bill collins was murdered and while i personally don't give a hoot it reflects on the agency and they're going to pin it on someone in my book you fit the part and because i knew him in san francisco you'll frame me now because you and he regular robbery and he wasn't satisfied with his six thousand six thousand years will you look do you know i knew comics in san francisco my husband husband knowing about it probably gambling losses the horses the racing form that i saw you with so you found talents or you just happened along the two of you arrange the robbery he cheated you you pulled it off and he covered it by investigating and by chance case no we use five full time investigators in college knew how to pick a time when the other four would have assignments and he'd be free he knew he'd get the case there was no chance of a missing girl about a you put a stop to it by learning about the lake view and shooting you don't believe i killed  i didn't need to robbery always paying him to keep quiet about what keep t you checking the pawn shops maybe we'll come up with the answer to your question oh this is fine just comfortable something i'm good how are you doing a favor if we lend me some money how much a buck do tho some of the time somebody up there especially a dame he might have bought the groceries you know stuckey told him to pick up as long as she didn't shelley probably sat around getting loaded feeling sorry for himself what to get from college why she bends over the time i saw anywhere reports from you oh yeah i forgot to mention that alan had ten grams stashed in the bank one and when you get around to checking that first deposit was six grams that was three days after the car robbery on the twenty ninth the last always be around to you know he just moved into the room above me money isn't everything now this is only a stab in the dark but let's say for instance let's say walton the former dame knocked her husband off all right ok now howard found out about it how it was done and then lost we don't need another suspect that you know the bill column was murdered yes i do but i don't see what possible connection i could have with the murder mr wallace well the possible connection is the fact that you didn't leave new york on the plane when your wife took you to the well i that night a man was murdered and the man who was murdered knew your wife what are you trying to get at one thing i'm trying to get at is the fact that your wife you know the man it was later as a matter of fact she knew him before he married you they were very friendly in san francisco and she was seen up there fly knew she had friends up there of course but i didn't know any of them i i don't even remember saying that you know in college before were you the night that you  supposed to be on a plane to new york not new york but my goodness you didn't leave on the plane from new york and i think your wife took you to the airport maybe you found out that she was going take a little trip with an old friend and maybe your f cozy you trying to make something out of this trial the last one was the last time you saw your husband do the night he left here they why he said he had to go no i mean why do you answer every time i the i want her to tell me say he didn't come home you know i should have brought a lunch that is if it takes as long to get the answer to the rest of my question wise guy how punch him in the nose you know you should be a lot nicer to him because he could make a very bad enemy you know anyone who would while i'm glad you could make it bars where charlie's been tending bar the last one was a joint called the bandwagon he was fired last month now those two blondes came in there frequently and they knew charlie at least well enough to call him by his first name you know it's a funny thing charlie's got i remember talking to the private eye asking if mrs faulkner ever abused the ride with the old man when he was that i told him i didn't know of any time she refused to ride with he would stop and he wouldn't let anyone get him a ca charlie's a nice guy i thought he was tied into this deal the first time i saw him playing footsie with lois now i know the why else would he be so nervous must've had something that was worth money and that's the important point that is not in the report and for good reason and if charlie charlie figures all the way down the line and it somehow because he i wasn't very nice to you last night i thought you were and now you want some money and i didn't give it to you did adam do i need your help my husband disappeared several days ago you were recommended to me very
