He probably won't like this. So what they're in that room Hi pal, Casey just happened to be passing by I thought we'd drop in good evening Hello Casey miss Williams. Well, what brought you to uncouth characters to this swanky church, huh? Take a look behind this sofa, huh? Hey Two gunshots got him through the head. Hey, that's that's the counter who count Leon the gas stone is what he called himself He was engaged with that dumb little glamour girl Paula Durkey sure sure. I've seen her with him around the night spot This is interesting. How did it happen to happen? I don't know miss Williams I got a phone call at headquarters and the guy wouldn't give his name That a murder had been committed at this address and then we'd find the front door unlocked He knew what he was talking about in this body still warm. Yeah, I'm gonna take some pictures. Oh, no, not until I call my tech Now long you heard me Outside doors open or visitors Get behind this green everybody out of sight show me Paula You must show me where you kill that man Show me where and how you All right And they aren't there behind that face the last thing at me. I put the gun pointed at him and press the figure Right there is where he's No, we've heard enough you're under arrest miss. I didn't do it That's not what you said a minute ago, but I was lying Leon can't be steady. He just can't be my child I think introductions are in order. Mr. I'm captain Logan homicide bureau. I I'm Clemens This is my niece Can't be steady can't be it's no use trying to change your story mr.. P But what I said was all a lie. I didn't Please I didn't I couldn't I love the things you heard me say is a story I told my uncle was Leon's idea. What did she tell you mr. Diffie? I I'd rather not say look a murder has been committed your God. I'll tell you what I told my uncle But it wasn't true. I said that I was jealous of Leon that I came here tonight and shot him But it was all a lie. You were jealous count the gas stone. Weren't you mr. He told me a word when I was with him this afternoon You were with this guy today Casey mm-hmm for about an hour at Luard. He's bar and he was getting quite a load on Maybe he told you about the plan he had. He didn't say anything about a plan Go on mr. Diffie all I told my uncle was part of Leon's plan He said that if Uncle Clement was convinced I'd committed a murder. He'd pay one hundred thousand dollars to protect me really How was he to pay the hundred thousand he was to give it to that man Leon salad Leon said he'd arranged everything with that and why was he to give it to this batson? Well because that would say he'd been a witness to the murder and that he'd gotten rid of the body When uncle came here he was to see nothing but some stains on the floor that would look like blood Leon said he'd put some here before he went away and hid himself and and I was to get the money from uncle and pretend to pay That's him for his help and And then I was to join Leon at his hiding place and we were trying to be married I've heard some pretty fantastic stories for murderers mr. Diffie, but yours tops them all And my niece told me this man batson had problems to take the gas cones body away He obviously didn't take the body away Sergeant we want to see batson get out of tracer on him. Yes, sir More people come into this what Who are you good evening, mr. Diffie Tell them what a cop the gas don't told you to do tonight. Tell them Count told me to do nothing tonight. He's dead. He must have he was going to give you instructions I haven't seen the count since early afternoon, mr. Diffie You're lying. You're lying really miss. I Say what's going on here step back at his sofa batson take a look He's dead yeah, but who this very imaginative young woman did the job You'll have a hard time convincing anyone of that mr. Diffie Sergeant pull in the squad now and stay in charge here the rest of us are going to headquarters. Yes, sir Logan yes, Casey that gal story is so completely cock-eyed. It might be true Are you nuts? Maybe but I'm getting what feels like a hunch Only a few years ago oven glass glass which could be used for oven baking was considered an expensive luxury Anchor Hawking with its vast laboratory and manufacturing facilities Changed all that by perfecting a new kind of oven glass more beautiful than anything that had been known before Guaranteed it for two years against oven breakage and offered it at unbelievably low prices This new kind of glass is fire king oven glass You can recognize it immediately by its beautiful pale blue color a special process makes its mirror smooth surfaces Miraculously easy to clean its lighter weight makes it easier to handle if you've never tried oven glass Why not try it now ask for it at your favorite chain variety hardware or department store fire king oven glass is a product of anchor Hawking a Great name in glass Casey how in the world Now great look after all Dear these women And now Casey as I was saying how in the world can you think that dirty gal didn't commit the murder? That's what I'd like to know to a person. I tell both of you. I've got a hunch It's a kind of hunch you I'd hate to bet on who's asking it a better I've noticed that when Casey gets a hunch that a gal being unjustly treated at the bridge She used a very good-looking gal Paula Dursey hasn't got a brain in her head, but she has got look Don't talk nonsense and hey Walder bring up some more lemons. Yeah Annie listen, I'm telling it's because that kid is so brainless that I think that she may have fallen for that crazy plan She says the Gastoni proposed And then somebody who knew about the plan bumps a guy off knowing that she'd take the wrap over case You haven't got the slightest basis for that. Oh, yes I have yes I have that phone call that brought Logan to the Gaston's place They ain't been able to trace that Well, a neighbor might have made it or somebody passing on the feed who heard the shots and didn't want to become involved Oh, that's possible Now Casey, the Gaston told you himself that she was madly jealous of him. So tonight she just got too jealous and went bang bang Gaston told me something else this afternoon as a matter of fact, I'd forgotten it up to now He just comes from Mrs. Zabel's place. Mrs. Zabel? Did you make that name up? No, no, Henrietta Zabel. That's her name. Who's she? The hard-boiled a-mine. I wonder You wonder what? Mrs. Zabel always has a few of those fortune hunting guys around her guys like the Gaston I've heard she bankrolls them while they're on the make for gals with dough. So what? Well, so I'm going back to headquarters and check a little matter with Logan that I neglected to check before Captain Logan's in his office Casey, but he's busy right now. Somebody with him, Sarge? Yeah, the brother of that girl who knocked off the Gaston Arthur Durfey. Oh, yeah, that's all the kids. There's only sisters. Just two of them, huh? Yeah Arthur's about five years older than she is, I mean. He's another case of too much dough Uh-huh. He got his share of the Durfey millions when he reached 21 and he's been spending like that. He's leaving the office now Good night, Mr. Durfey. I deeply regret the trouble that's come upon you and your uncle and your sister That you must realize that I have a job to do. Yes, I highly realize that, Captain Logan. I can promise you She'll undergo no unnecessary hardships. Thank you. Good night Good night, Captain Tough luck, fella. Oh, who? I'm just a newspaper guy. I want you to know that I'm all for your sister. Oh Oh Well, thank you Thank you very much. Do you want to see me, Casey? Yeah, Logan. Yeah, come on in The toughest thing a cop ever has to do is talk to relatives of a prisoner. He's shoving toward the chair. I can imagine What's on your mind? Logan, you traced all phone calls to and from the Gaston's home today Yeah, did the Gaston make a call from his home not long before he was shot? Yeah, that's here in the report. Yeah, to whom? My Mrs. Henrietta Zabel. Mrs. Zabel? Yeah Lives in a swanky penthouse over on the Boulevard. Yeah, she's a hundred percent. Hundred percent what? Okay, what makes you so sure of that? Oh, I went over and talked to her myself She admits to Gaston Fonda makes no secret about it says they were old friends. Yeah, what'd he call her about? Yeah, she doesn't know. She was out at the time the maid answered. Oh, oh, where was she out at the time? The Gaston was shot. How do I know? I don't ask everyone I talked to for an alibi when I got the killer in a cell. I don't think you have the killer Are you gonna start that again? Yes, Logan, I am and you're gonna help me prove that I'm right Oh, now I've met this Mrs. Zabel and she's a foxy character and The Gaston hadn't enough imagination himself to cook up the scheme that Paula claims she fell for Well, my hunch says that Mrs. Zabel put him up to it. Casey there wasn't any scheme You don't know there wasn't You've got to give that derpy kid a chance What do you want me to do? I want Mrs. Zabel watched her telephone wire tap. Hey, you can do it, Logan You can do it and be sure it's done by the time that I visit her tomorrow So you're gonna visit the lady. Yeah, I'm gonna pull a bluff, but I think she'll fall for Mrs. Zabel will see you in the library, sir. Thank you Mr. Casey madam come in thank you, Mrs. Zabel well I seldom forget a face Mr. Casey we've Met before haven't we yes, I've taken pictures of you several times for the cafe society pages. Oh, yes, of course That may I close this door if you wish? Thank you Is it customary for a press photographer's to require such privacy? Well, I I'm not here as a press photographer. Oh, then what I really want to talk to you about Leon de Gaston Well, I Spent over an hour with him yesterday at the Wadi's cafe. He'd been drinking and was talkative Really? Yeah He told me about the idea you'd given him Interesting. I think the cops would find it so if I told They might connect it with a phone call to Gaston made to you shortly before he was shot while you were not at home They might wonder who phoned headquarters to report the murder of the Gaston and they might wonder who really killed the Gaston What do you think I Wonder why you haven't told this to the cops Because you're a rich woman and I'm a poor guy blackmail Well, let's say you do me a favor and I do one for you. Can you suggest any motive? I might have had for committing a murder. I think the cops might be able to dig one up a motive Perhaps that would mean a profit for you or prevent a loss Okay, Mrs. Abo until tomorrow I Look in you say she made a phone call right after I left her Yeah, but not from her own phone that I had a tap on she went out to a public booth So my guys don't know what she talked about how we traced the call She made to Clement Durfey's home Paula's uncle. Yeah, so he's her partner in this scheme I'll wait a minute. Look look look if if you'd just been threatened by a blackmailer who accused you of conniving in a murder that you had connived in Wouldn't your first act be to contact the other party to your killing? I guess so but well, Mrs. Zabel fell from my bluff Logan Because she framed the scheme that the gas stone and his girlfriend fell for and she framed it with Clement Durfey, but why do remember he handles Paula's estate Logan in a year He'd have to turn it over to her but with her out of the way But why should Mrs. Zabel know anything for doll won't she? He's paying plenty for what she did But we'll get them both Logan and with the goods. I Hooked her today tomorrow when she tries to pay me blackmail. You'll be there to pull her in She's this well-looking woman with a head full of brains all right, and that little Paula's a beautiful thing, too Homicide bureau Captain Logan How do you do I'd like to see you as soon as possible if I may Logan she's all set for confession of What do you want to see me about Mrs. Zabel well? I'd like to report the threats of a blackmailer a press photographer named Casey Very interesting, Mrs. Zabel. I'm anxious to hear about it. Will you come to my home as soon as possible alone? Yeah, I'll be there in half an hour, and then I'll expect you. Goodbye You heard that Casey I heard it you put something over on her wise guy And that's a full account of the man's convy blackmail attempt Captain Logan and true account How do you know it though? I know this Casey, Mrs. Zabel. I I can figure he'd pull things like you said No, I want to tell you something else go on That man Casey was right. I did suggest the plan that Paula derpy told you about What yes, I gave it to Leon de Gaston in detail and I told him to make Paula go through with it No, I didn't kill him somebody else made dupes of all of it Who's that somebody else telling you won't be so convincing as letting you see and hear for yourself And I'll look here. This will be done my way captain or not at all Well, let's hear your way Can you install a radio contrivance in my car that will permit you in a car following to hear what said? Yeah, my man can then have it done at once and follow me tonight Where's she going in that car of hers Logan I told her she wouldn't tell me a thing Casey except to follow her and we're doing that She might give us a word occasionally through that radio gadget you had installed in the car Now she's gonna play this the way she wants it Hey, you know She is a well-looking woman Casey. Yeah Not so young is Mr. T course. Oh, no, not nearly But we're looking All right. All right. All right. You both agreed that they're both beautiful. Hey, she's slowing down Logan. She's gonna stop I'll slow down true Hey a man's getting into a car couldn't see his face neither could I She's starting up again Thanks for picking me up Henrietta guys voice that radio gadget looks pretty good quiet I didn't want you to come to my house. Yes in the car here. I'm sure no one can hear it Who's the man Casey can't get his voice. Can I? So Henrietta you think we are under suspicion of murder. Yes, and I have no intention of facing a murder charge I don't marry You suggested that little plan for the castle whose plan was it? Since we're quite a long It was mine, but you didn't tell me you really planned to murder Leon I thought you were only helping me recover my money. Oh You know my real motor. Yes, you wanted a murder conviction and death for your sister It's Arthur Durfee still you see I've spent my share of the estate, but with Paula out of the way. I'd get her share too I Couldn't allow a little fool like Paula to get that money when I needed it. Could I you think you'll get away with it? You'll never tell anyone what you think I'd have said what I have if you were going to live step on it Logan I'm stepping look at that car behind us What you cut the and through the key off the window what a gas say it's all over for now sure is a car stopping Come out of that car mr. Arthur Durfee with your hands in the air. What's the meaning of this? We're finishing your a perfect plan fellow or keeps and mrs. Zabel I'm going to ask a favor of you. May I kiss you? Hey, excuse me Annie. Thanks mrs. Zabel Thank you, mr. Well, I like that. I was just apologizing Annie and congratulating Henrietta we'll discuss your methods later mr. Casey It's now possible to tell almost exactly what Americans think on almost any given subject an Independent research organization recently conducted a poll in an eastern city to find out what kind of containers housewives prefer for foods an Overwhelming majority said that they preferred glass containers and most of them mentioned these four reasons Glass lets you see exactly what you buy before you buy it glass containers are clean and sanitary They don't affect flavor or purity glass containers are easier and safer to open and can safely be used to store leftovers Now in the same survey eight out of nine mothers of young babies said they preferred prepared baby foods packed in glass Most of your favorite food products and all of the better brands of prepared baby foods are now available in anchor glass containers Protected by tamper proof anchor vacuum cats both products of anchor Hawking A great name in glass So Arthur derpy's in the clink Casey and his sister's free, huh? Yeah, that's a bird Yep, and Logan's treating me respectfully for a change. I don't know why you had this case all wrong Even if Mrs. Abell wasn't guilty she led us to the murderer didn't she that's right She didn't you didn't well all you did was push your way in for that Apologetic congratulatory kiss at the end. I mean my my emotional nature got the best of me She's a nice looking woman that Mrs. Abell. She'll never see 45 again. So what age brings experience? Nobody experience isn't really necessary Casey what did that young good-looking Paula do when they let her out of the pokey? Apple but she kissed Logan That's for you. Apple bird.
