A Night for Crime Page #5

---

confirm your identification yes

that's moon you definitely I am

absolutely sure there's no doubt in my

mind I'm positive well that's mana don't

change my mind yeah that's more than

that is all I thank you.

Len Hoffman I brung in the Carolyn like

you said I see know what I think II go

ahead well it's an open-and-shut case

just a little fancy deduction that's all

you stick to plain to dr. Hoffman it'll

get you a lot harder you're always

kidding cheap I'll go ahead but make it

brief I want to get through with

questioning miss Lynn okay chief I'll

let you have it straight from the hip Oh

I mean children first on the Harrisons

dead is that right right second somebody

done it intended for a motive.

Byrd the marks on Mona Harrison's throat

were different from those on Ellen Smith

so I figured the murders were done by

two different people that's the smartest

thing you've figured out yet that's

practically what I've decided myself I

know sometimes it takes me a little

while to figure things out

but when I do I'm pretty near right well

go ahead without your thing just one

more point number 4 Ellen Smith was

strangled by a man but Mona was

strangled by a woman uh new figure well

the autopsy shows that Ellen Smith's

neck was broken

no woman could have done that Mona's

neck wasn't broken but there were

scratches and traces of fingernail

polish the medical examiner told us that

you know Hoffman there are times when I

wonder if I keep you on the force and

then you suddenly come up with something

really worthwhile thank you but that a

doll I've narrowed it down to two

suspects boy ho Hamilton heart for one

love and Susan Cooper ridiculous licked

bring in miss Lin

here's Miss Lipp chief sit down please

[Applause]

I'm sorry to inconvenience you this way

may I ask why you had me brought here

let me see your fingernails see chief

red nail polish huh

I suppose every girl in Hollywood

doesn't wear it that'll be enough often

miss Lin moly Harrison was in love with

Hamilton high wasn't cheap I I couldn't

say exactly but she was very fond of him

I don't know anything about Hamilton

hearts private eyes

but it's possible isn't it yes it's

possible

Hamilton heart might have had a motive

for murdering Mona harass me oh no no

that's foolish right but he couldn't

possibly have you might have wanted to

kill her yourself.

Oh No well there are 59 people in huh

might have wanted to but that doesn't

mean that any of them did if nobody did

how come she's dead well I know but but

you know it wasn't your heart I know it

wasn't him because it was either you or.

Susan Cooper oh man's man I'm sorry miss.

Lynd

I'll handle this often but okay chief

there's just one more question this limb

have you any idea where mr. Hart went

when he left town the other day I don't

mr. Woody

honestly I I don't know I'm sorry to

have troubled you my car just outside

- the driver will take you home good

- evening miss Lynn

[Applause]

Toplin I want you to shadow Hamilton

heart but teeth I are wasting time often

you get on a bike trailer and stay on it

until I take you off but chief I was

figuring do I have to know you don't

have to see you later chief

[Applause]

[Music]

Hey no Mickey Mouse what are you doing

here I was leaving in fact I am leaving

wait a minute what do you make of it

well I don't know what do you make of it

mr. Bones of course that couldn't be.

Mona.

Oh certainly not well then I'll sing you

one of these evenings when he gets

through work maybe I'll let you take me

out and buy me a cocktail excuse me

wait a minute sit down you're going to

have a nervous breakdown all right well

if you keep this up you know very well

that was Mona suppose I do what is the

proof it simply proves there's something

fishy about the whole business yeah I

- saw you fishing for hearts P this

- morning to double-cross me I'm sorry.

Darling but you've been trying to

double-cross me from the very beginning

what's there for one is very fun

well it's Susan if I want so much in

love with you what you are you know I

can just see us fifty years from now a

lovely little cottage big open fireplace

you and I sitting in front of it

trying to give each other a hot foot Oh

on the level Jill we could just work

together nothing would suit me better

soon well alright then you wind up that.

Pillman let's talk

[Applause]

What do you think Jill come on not be

honest remember we're partners all right

Susan I'll give it to you straight

those were shots of Mona they weren't

cut off from any old pictures they were

new

they've just been made how do you know

that I checked at the laboratory this

morning

when I came back from the morgue that

means that Hart got them someplace well

it is out of town that's just in that's

what the coroner said that Mona had been

dead for a week

have you any idea where those shots were

made

no there's nothing outstanding about the

background that I could see did you

notice anything particular anything

special well there's a bridge and a

public building there might be a

courthouse yeah with that that could be

anywhere and it could be Joe it seems to

me that when Mona first came to.

Hollywood she had a different name by

jingle you were right I figured out that

Mona Harrison moniker myself why didn't

I think of that before if you could

remember her right name it might give us

a clue there was some corny name like

upsets their crews a bit skier Jones or

what's that a clue to mmm nothing then

again it might be the clue to the whole

mystery anyway we all find out well I've

got the information in my files oh look

it up for me like a darling will you why

sure Susan and aren't you coming along

you're not suspicious already oh no of

course not they're right for my

etiquette you know if I don't check in

every once in a while he has an annoying

- habit of trying to keep me off the

- payroll.

Hello hello this is Susan Cooper will

you give me the boss

well okay okay boss go ahead fire me but

if you do you'll miss the biggest story

that's broken in Hollywood in years how

do I know well I don't care but I will

in a minute

okay there doesent rags it'll pay me

plenty for it now you're running on

synthetic rubber yeah

mr. Hart's office please

hello sue yeah I thought a real name is

Martha Halverson yeah Martha held us

we've got it

but that all Susan's certainly I'm not

going to double-cross you
