what can I do for you yeah you're the sheriff aren't you that's right done with his my name Bill Dunwoody I have a chair thank you your name is a sheriff I'm here on the kind of a mysterious mission something that's really not my business but I feel that I must tell you about it I see you Mr. Oh I didn't get your name well I'd rather not tell you my name sir a you can just call me Jones that's as good as any I guess what's on your mind well I have an idea there's been some foul play murder to be exact who when did it happen how I'll tell you everything I know but it isn't very much go on sir I'm all ears you heard that Mrs. Viola King died didn't you yes I did die just today well she was an old lady old lady I hear maybe that's why it doesn't seems suspicious and you want to tell me that she was murdered yes how poisoned I guess but I I'm not sure how do you know this Jones well that's something I'd rather not discuss I must be left out of this entirely are you related to Mrs. King no sir you know who administered this poison no sir I don't you know anything else that can help us no nothing else nothing I've told you all I know do you live in town yes and I'll keep in touch with if you want me to yes I certainly do Mr. Jones that's all then I guess goodbye Sheriff I'm glad to have met you good day sir Sam Smith in right away with you send for me Sheriff yeah sit down Smith I want to talk to you shoot what is it someone just told me that Mrs. King was murdered poisoned what that old lady what did anyone want to kill her for the toxin in the first place I'm not sure that it is murder but if it is we'll find out more than just quiet was done sure right now I want you to get busy get hold of the doctor that treated her when she died find out what he knows and if he suspects murder have an autopsy performed right one of the things miss not a word of this to anybody if it is murder we don't want we don't know who's involved yet I guess it's not treated her when she died didn't you doctor yes now tell me did you think her death was natural what do you mean well was there anything suspicious about Mrs. King's death offhand I'd say there was what do you think was the cause of death I believe Mr. King was poisoned you do yes she showed all the symptoms of stricken poisoning you mind telling me what those symptoms are well there were convulsions and shrinking of the iris of the eye that indicated poison yes but I performed a more a certain test on Mrs. King I stepped behind the head of her bed and clap my hands like this what happened then it sent her into another convulsion a little later I repeated the test and the same thing happened now we get that result in two kinds of cases stricken poisoning and tetanus so I examined Mrs. King for some wound which might have been caused by rusty nail and I found nothing not a scratch that eliminated tetanus so you think she died and picked non-poisoning that it's doctor I'm inclined toward the stricken theory yes but suggest that a careful examination be made we'll take care of that tell me doctor if you suspected poison why didn't you notify us there on my desk as a letter I'm writing the sheriff don't forget doctor not a word to anyone understand perfectly what did you do after you left the doctor Smith well I arranged to have an autopsy performed immediately and some specimens were rushed to the state laboratory did you tell him we were in a hurry yeah matter of fact I instructed him to tell us how to resort here what else check down who was around Mrs. King the last few days I found something very interesting incidentally what Mrs. King's daughter and son-in-law visited her a little while before she died came up from San Angelo that's so yeah I thought you'd be interested in that show something for you from the time come on Smith let's go maybe that isn't bad report on examination Mrs. King stomach content submitted indicate presence of stricken insufficient quantity to cause instant death come into my office one thing is certain Smith we've got a murder on our hands I'm sure certain of another thing chair what that we're going to solve this case you can bet your bottom dollar on that now listen to me I want you to visit every drugstore in town find out if anyone bought strict men during the last week yeah that's all for you now and while you're out I have a
