What did the lab say about the ink used on the phony ticket?

I think you want to see it. Thank you. Well, I like your new hairdo, Alan. Thank you. Mr. Peters only it's not new What is it? For two nights ago a man called Frenchy a small-time Grafter was found murdered in a rooming house in Gulfport, Texas He's been killed by a long stiletto or sword that mutilated his chest and went completely through his body Wait Early the following morning the body of a young newspaper reporter Tom Fisher was found in the Gulf just off Gulfport He'd been murdered in exactly the same way. Hey, that report's my son's from office About the distributor who was peddling the phony sweepstake ticket. Didn't he say something about a sword? Right Peters. He said that anyone in the racket who squeals died horribly by a golden sword Take a look at this map here What is Here's a rango where you said that paper mill is located and here's Gulfport about a hundred miles away Peters we've got the shortcut the job of tracing this paper I want you to grab the first plane for Gulfport and go to work Try to recall Did your husband tell you where he was going that night? The last time he saw him I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me mr. Peters I begged him not to go I'll try to pull you up Now Tom's editor his uncle Said Tom didn't have any real clue to the men behind the phony sweepstake's racket Did Tom tell you anything that he didn't tell his uncle? No, Tom said he just looked around the room of that poor man Who'd been murdered French Now try to remember mr. Fisher. This is very important Tom may have said something which we might use as a clue some some little thing, but he didn't we had a rule Poker chip golden poker chip a poker chip only this one was gold and it had the pictures of bull on it Tom said he found it in French rule. Well ordinary poker chips aren't usually gold. They're white red or blue But they do have gold chips for high price to enter gambling houses Are there any gambling houses in golf court, you know Not in town There's a ship out in the gold converted yachts where people go to dine and dance and gamble Toro told Toro means bull in Spanish and there was a picture of a bull on the chip your husband had Do you think that's where Tom went that night?
