I went out to the Valentine house once more mr. Dogger Hello, Mrs. Yetchino, please come in So many police and so many reporters I've been trying to close the house sure I Know how you must feel.

I'll just look around if you don't mind all right. Oh one thing Yes, did mr. Valentine make any provision for you? He thought Whatever he was the man. I knew was kind and good And he seems Had been forgiven him. I spent two hours of better going from room to room Looking at the oils that Dan Valentine had painted Pastoral scenes happy scenes gay scenes all of them with colorful Italian backgrounds. I Was thinking about that when I walked into Inspector de Baca's office late that afternoon Don't get what here from New York on the Chianti boys Oh, it came to this country when they were 18 and 21 both of them were naturalized citizens live with their father records Other thing no trouble of them. What else that's about it. New York police can't seem to locate their old man Disappeared about a week ago lived on the east side. What's about him? That's another funny thing. He's taken out his papers and was due from examination with immigration people They're looking for him too We went out and had dinner together and talked about the case it had been a strange one The deaths were useless the motive is unknown. I Parted company with Inspector de Baca and went back to my hotel to trouble it out with sleep about 11 o'clock. I had a phone call Johnny dollar 20 minutes later I was standing in the coroner's office while Inspector de Baca led a small whiz and old man into the room and sat him down on one of the chairs Mr. Chandy. Yes, mr. Donald How do you do mr. Chandy? I read about you You killed my boys Is it so yes, they'd killed four other people. I know I know bad Why did they kill the Valentine family mr. Chandy? Why did they kill Conrad Webster the lawyer? Do you know why? She I know then tell me They're all dead now. I am I Must still alive for mr. Dollar. He refused to talk about his sons or any of their activities De Baca held him to answer into the immigration officials He remained in his cell silent and non-committal to all visitors including the chaplain I appeared before the coroner's jury the following morning was clear of any charges Peter Chianti still had said nothing And he looked at me as though he was going to keep on saying nothing. It's a Chandy. I See you mr. Dollar More questions Dan Valentine's wife was your daughter wasn't she? Wasn't she? All right, you don't have to admit it. I have a copy of the marriage license right here. It came from New York this morning She was my daughter Is that all you have to say now? I know talk Then I will mr. Chandy Because your daughter mrs.
