Speeds It's a plain clothes officer an officer. Oh Mr. Speeds We'd like to know how miss Kenline got acquainted with Larry Zimmerman well as a matter of fact it was through me Yes, Larry and I were quite good friends. We lived next door to each other over a year Do you know much about his business mr. Speeds how he made his living well? No, not much actually he was sort of an adventurer really quite as successful when I always thought very clever with money Investments so a gambler in a sense in the market you mean. Oh, yes I always counted my pennies and envy the nerve Larry had to plunge mr. Speeds Do you happen to know if miss Kenline had topaz earrings? We found one at Zimmerman's place Oh, forgive me lieutenant Guthrie, but I really believe we should try to get in touch with Margaret miss Kenline You see I told her if she was afraid to stay home She should leave and go to my place.

Rifkin's never been arrested. There's not a line on him in the files. So so I'm stupid I should have played it your way Matt should have kept Margaret Kenline under arrest and locked up Walter Rifkin just to keep a company maybe but you didn't Ben so let's take it from there mad look One Larry Zimmerman was killed to Margaret Kenline could have killed him. I don't think so. Why not soft-faced soft-voiced Ben No, no Walter Rifkin Matt if Margaret Kenline did kill Zimmerman, why did Rifkin go after them the missing 25 grand maybe? It's a good reason Ben.
