The specific case you're about to hear has been selected from among hundreds because of its unusual nature. In the late afternoon of January 3rd this year a young woman worry stamped heavily on her face walked across the dingy lobby of a cheap hotel in Washington's Skid Row section. I don't want a room I'm looking for someone who registered here. His name is Frank Stewart. Never heard of him I know he's here what room is he in a girl and I told you help. Why don't you tell me that what room to a just up those stairs their first flight last room to the right. Let me go away it's a lane let me in Frank. Open this door I've got to talk to you. Frank I'm staying right here until you let me in for you for two days. I was worried half out of my mind why do you have to come why do you have to see me like this. Would have been better if you'd never found me. Sit down here on the bed I want to talk to you leave me alone just leave me alone will you. Please sit down let me go can't you understand Frank I only want to help you can't you understand I'm beyond help can't you see you're blind go on get out. Let me go I'm so sick. You're going to get better now. No I was hoping I'll get help I was too late three months ago maybe even two. But not now I've already spoken to a doctor he said you can only hurt yourself doing that it must look fine a woman with a kind of job you have with a brother like me you only shamed yourself there's nothing to be ashamed of Frank any more than any other illness. Now come on I'm going to take you home. I can't the doctor will tell us what to do I'll take care of you. Don't you see Frank everybody will want to help you but I don't want to help myself you will don't you think I tried it didn't work it's no you Frank you're going to get well you're going back and live a normal healthy life you're going to get well you understand that what I've put you through a way that's all past.

any symptoms before that I knew something was wrong but I just thought he was tired nervous maybe overworked Mr Harding I'd give anything to get the people responsible for Frank's death you didn't live with your brother no we had separate apartments you knew his friends all of them I think with one exception who's that a man who came to Frank's apartment once while I was there my brother got rid of him very hurriedly it could be the peddler she said could be do you remember what this man looked like short thin cheaply dressed oh and one other thing yeah he had a twitch in his right eye
