Charlie Chan in Reno Page #8

---

by wearing jacket

she did not wear...

- on night of murder.

- Just a minute.

Where do you think

you'll get with that evidence?

Never mind.

Mr. Chan's right.

I did kill her.

But I didn't intend to.

I didn't even bring a weapon.

I only wanted to find out

what was between...

her and Dr. Ainsley,

but she wouldn't tell me.

She was drunk and nasty,

and when I threatened...

to get the truth out of him,

she went for me.

She'd have killed me,

so I grabbed up...

the first thing I saw

to defend myself.

You've got to believe me.

Sincerely hope

will convince jury of same.

One moment, please.

- May also arrest doctor.

- What for?

Analysis of hypodermic

revealed deadly poison, not adrenaline.

What? Has there been another murder?

No, Tombstone.

Attempted murder.

- Dr. Ainsley tried to kill Mrs. Russell.

- Why?

Doctor guessed it was Mrs. Russell

who removed pages from scrapbook.

He feared exposure of old guilt...

in connection

with Wayne Russell's death.

Where was I when

all this was goin' on?

- In Tonopah.

- Horsefeathers.

Wait a minute.

Where are you going?

Back to Tonopah. They got a nice, easy

case of cattle rustling over there...

and I know I can pin it

on the guilty guy...

because they found him

under the cow.

All right, Doctor.

Is it over?

Are you cleared?

Did you think

of that liquid smoke gag all by yourself?

Pop and I worked it out together.

Oh, Jimmy, I think you're wonderful.

Number two son's present idea

strictly his own...

but not bad as example.
