are you wait a minute what were you doing in there at this time and nights i was merely following instructions struck yes i just left a thousand dollars on that katie's great thousand dollars before are actually the question i will not know not for you come out here where i can see you to be the commish the fact that none of us machine going to further threats seems to indicate that this is just another one of those unfunny jokes by some nitwit i don't think you need worry however if you should receive any further threats i want you to communicate with us officer one fact i think we should make him president but it's already cost him money this puts a new slant on the case very interesting might be something to it morning since then that's all i've been doing telling it to the cops now i suppose i'll have to tell it all over again to the commissioner my name is everett pete big very i'm awake may crack got a letter from the panther demanding a thousand dollars i paid it got arrested and here i am and right yeah just exactly even to the parent first cough only online it was in the other corner when did you get it about two weeks ago why didn't you notify the police and said not to you see right there consulting the police well commissioner i have a wife and five daughters luckily they're up in maine visiting my wife about their chart otherwise i'd have six nervous breakdown drama so i thought the simplest thing to do with the pay and get it over with before they go what bank you draw the money from the younger savings bank i live out there only my house is closed right now all the families away i'm staying in a little apartment on sixty fourth street bring in your bank books yes or can i go home now not yet you just manager i naturally had dealings with him that all six of you who have received these letters are connected in one way or another what they offer come is that right with you and it's a natural deduction that the writer of the letter is also connected with the opera company or at least  matter of fact i had to throw him out i'm out of the dressing room twice he might have resented my taking his place see the job or make any waves for this what's his name lombardi from buddy wh yes yes that's all nothing all night wait till i get hold of  there tony you all this plant that i'm getting for the hair in ink i mean what we think is behind it all commission right i'm not quite sure no question but the dig very wrote the letters it i had to cover up that thousand dollars that i drew out of our joint savings account while they were gone so will you blackmail  government it's really no laughing matter you don't know my wife what did you do with the money i loaned it to a brain oh i'd really rather not say it doesn't matter a picture of our friend dick betty whom big betty and it was signed affectionately yours ever i'll buy that that's pretty obvious when did you see a live only this evening i drop in every day what time is the evening about six thirty i think it was anyone else there all of which you doing she was sitting in an armchair by the door reading she didn't even hear me come near you she's a little hard of hearing she won't admit it because you are pursuing a little hard of hearing a long did you stay just a few minutes till after seven no cure  certainly i was at the corner of thirty eighth street naif avenue just to say what were you doing there are you doing anything just waiting waiting for what but i don't quite know all you see about six o'clock i think it was my phone rang and someone i didn't recognize the voice told me to be at the corner of thirty eighth street and eight thousand what exactly seven o'clock he said it was something about madame pleats and it was very important i believe they sold my way and what was it wasn't anything nobody showed up to tell me so after waiting about fifteen minutes i went home see madame police when you got back to the apartment oh i didn't see here you can ask my damn funny  eerie the very a victim of circumstance or just plain crazy what do you mean by that commission and i don't believe that they had who would do such a thing from pa that's what i intend to find out what's the color of our husbands h barry we have work to do i have the district attorney way here i'd probably want you held without bail which since he isn't fair and if you promise me you will not leave the city to let you go home thank you very any thing i a couple i think you know for whom well i'd have to look in my book for just a minute you know we'd make a name big brain yet that make it seem to be a little professional jealousy i may have it on  recognize these coming from one of your away yes it could come from one of them can you tell which one  get it look fact it's an open and shut case he got mixed up with spent money on probably fell madly in love with her and finally she threw him a down so we shot just simple as that that's formula one forty six a in the bottom drawer but it doesn't fit this case no no not until this is settled anyway by oh by the way where did you first meet modem police in paris just before the war started she was in a jam over her house for some credentials she's hungry and by birth you know yes i know i had some very influential friends over there and i straighten things out for her and i i've been handling her affairs ever since you're an american why yes of course you know the wondering about the accent of may i ask what the captain is for i has in fact do while bill and i were all two boys together by the way commissioner i'd like to go over to madame's of pop and check things over if i may last week she took one of her largest insurance policies out of a deposit box and i'd like to find not much of a marksman took two shots this time just never would have the whole building very had nothing to do with it i can name you at least three others who might have done it who are for instance a law husband they didn't get along we'll find out more about him when he gets here tomorrow and that the lombardy he's crazy enough to have done it even when he's sober have my own man do it right i make a deal with you if i don't break this case by nine o'clock tomorrow morning you can arrest degree and it's a bet i hope he doesn't decide to kill somebody else before he does you'll probably find a motive for the path to fulfill you can laugh if you a thousand dollars from you she was a very wealthy a woman that's what everyone thought but she wasn't in fact she was nearly broke that's why she went into hiding here after the office and she couldn't afford to go away like she used to and she also couldn't afford to have the truth kno it would have hurt her career and you're the only one who knew where she was it's funny i never saw before my life all come on thanks for wasting time i am said to put this man under restaurants under red yes you can do that my wife and daughters are coming into eleven forty eight tomorrow morning i've got to meet them at the station you are going to it's funny no this isn't my suit that button was off my suit i was waiting for my wife to come home and so it off course it is yours too and this isn't one of your w way the suit in the hat killed madame police after first getting big very out of the house with a fake telephone pole now we have scientifically established the fact that her death occurred no later than seven done to rind big bear is alibi because i think barry could prove that he was not in the apartment at seven o'clock when the murder actually occurred then knowing that wilkie was the only one who could identify him gallow disposed of willfully and then he planted the murder gun and big bodies apart and galloway went to his own apartment his real address not the one in the hudson river and he wrapped the coat the suit in the wake up in a of what is this a joke far from it when you count the you can't prove anything so ridiculous a moment ago it sounded quite plausible to you but if you're still not convinced i give you a few more facts we can prove didn't destroy the wig and the suit it might have been the perfect crime if you've been following the bill already your all right incidentally i knew you would never belong to the fighting six tonight we made yourself a thousand dollars well and i mean that makes you even and if you can legally collect the insurance policy you'll be twenty thousand dollars ahead in that case i think you'll have to tell your wife right my  new level thirty eight out never be able to make grand central station in ten minutes you'll make it all right don't you put him in my car right come along all right you can state my outline of health plan are going to use both
