Fog Over Frisco Page #7

Well, I guess that

finishes my butler job.

Thorne, you better watch yourself,

you're liable to become...

...a well-known secret service man

Here is to crime.

Ah, they did nail you,

didn't they, O'Hagen?

Ah, it's just a little nickle

in the arm, that's all, chief.

Don't mean nothing to a guy

from the south of the slug.

Gosh, O'Hagen, I'm sorry. We

have the cops staked out,...

- ... but I couldn't tiff you off.

- It's ok, Tony.

Val, dear. Where have

you been? What's happened?

I've been enjoying Mr. Maynard's

hospitality on his yacht.

Jake Bello extended the invitation.

On that boat, I heard of

everything that took place.

Jake Bello followed Mr. Maynard

and Arlene home. They continued...

...to quarrel about the letters which,

written in code, implicated Maynard...

...in the bond racket.

Jake left his taxi outside. It

was the one we saw driving away.

Maynard must have lost his head

completely,... for he killed her.

Jake saw everything

that happened inside.

. Maynard, realizing what he

had done, shoved the body...

...body into the rumble seat and using

Arlene's keys, he took the elevator...

...to her room.

During his quick search, he

discovered Arlene's note to me,...

...pasted on the mirror, which told him

that the letters have been left in my care.

He must have hidden when I came in.

Jake Bello waited in the garage

until Maynard came down,...

...and then Jake tried to blackmail him.

I see. Maynard was too

smart and hooked him,...

...into the deal with

a promise of big money.

He got Jake to send

that phoney telegram.

They didn't mean to kidnap Val at

first, but she recognized Jake...

...at Butcher Town Bridge and

they had to take her along.

Then Maynard's men threw Jake into

the water and he couldn't swim.

Did you get it, chief?

I guess that's it.

Ah, Mr. Bradford, how

about the reward money?

What, you?

Yes, sure. You know what, my picture

was responsible for the evidence.

You know, the futuristic touch.

What, you aren't

laughing me out, are you?

- All those angles.

- Give me the city desk.

Tony Sterling speaking.

Gee, it's good to see

you again sweetheart.

Joe Hogue, hurry. And

I'm gonna marry you.

No, no, no; not you Joe.

Hang on a minute. How about

it sweetheart, yes or no?

- The story is important!

- I don't suppose I dare...

...spoil a good story.

Listen, Joe, tell that

rat Archie Van Ness...

...to announce the approaching marriage

of Valkyr Bradford and Tony Sterling.

Yeah!

Well, that's not all.

Here's the real story:...

...Joshua Maynard alias Arthur

Burchard, yeah sure, that's the one!

Well, he was shot to death...

- ... while trying to escape from

- Hold it!

Just a minute!

Got it! Got it!

I've got it!

I've got it!
