Goodwin now when she saw you she said thank God mrs. Perez I am much she must have seen me when she come in I don't know her we were paid not to know her and you're very good at it the only reason I believe you is the expression on your husband's face when he told me about the tarp now I'm gonna send a man to stay here you are to supply him with food which I will pay for I expect to see you at Nero Wolf's office today at 3 o'clock do you got that all right I need you to leave so I can have a look around you take things if I take something that you think I shouldn't you can call a cop oh yeah I couldn't find Saul so I sent for Fred and told him to pack a bag for a week oh yes and I got to work investigating you know home I hope you enjoy I'll make do I won't see them naturally you don't like it I mean that there may be 20 women with a key to that room I realize you won't want to be involved with the setup Alton's nonsense yes modern Sato's part man part Pig part jackass he hasn't even the charm of the roguish he doesn't ledin gracefully against a tree with a flute in his hands her Posterous bower of carnality you have described as a sorry makeshift but at least mr. Jager tried the pig in a jackass yes yes but the flute strain was in him as it once was at me hmm no doubt he deserved to die but I would welcome a sufficient inducement to expose his killer anyway certainly yeah but your objective was to find an acceptable client I concede your craft to your finesse I even felicitate you but where are we chose under bill well we we know about the preposterous Bower and are we blackmailers all right what about the man who came posed as Jager yes manifestly he has an educated fondness for words else there would be no use in coming extraordinary else instead of or yes it was the first thing I noticed then merely talking along he said other sins only speak milder shrieks out John Webster the Duchess of Malfi and measure your minds height by the shadow of ghasts Robert Browning had to look that up Browning repels me me too was he trying to impress you impress me no just so he he had them on the tip of his tongue he's a pedagogue no way he teaches literature how hmm well that's relief if he knew Yaga was dead perhaps because he killed him why did he come here with that Tara diddle well yeah if he killed Yeager and then he came here then he's cracked but I saw him no and he wasn't he wasn't cracked then he did dump Oh I would like to speak with it no I would do it and that's why I I put Fred there for you got Fred because I cannot now merely say that the incident is closed yes fritz a mr. Duncan sir well did he find it yes he did and you may have it back for $50,000 fifty thousand what you don't mean less you can't do not smoke cigarette in my office if you wish to smoke go out on the stoop put it out I'll write up put it out are you familiar with the statutes regarding the suppression of evidence my cigarette case isn't evidence I didn't say it was and I wasn't in that room on Sunday night for us to return a cigarette case that might convict a murderer is far too great a risk for $1,000 you may have it for $50,000 with a certified check oh oh why not a million that would depend on how you answer my questions you haven't to ask me any when was the last time you were in that room I didn't say I was in that that's egregious you had keys oh my god mr. wolf this could ruin my career must you drag me into it I did not drag you into that room this morning madam mr. wolf has asked you not to smoke when you did visit it I mean the room were there others know what you knew there were others I knew there were others he wanted you to know he derived pleasure not only from his present companion but from her awareness of her colleagues many colleagues surely he was not silent about them so they spoke of them in comparison praise or derogation madam if you wish to have this episode pass into history as quickly as possible tell me about the others are you going to keep my cigarette case for the present yes then you have me at your mercy I wish I'd clawed your eyes out do you get your autograph I won't insist you fill me in verbatim she killed him of course after all he was painting $300 a month to keep his tenement she discovered that Yaga had debauched her daughter and she killed him she said that it's certainly not she resented the implication with fury yes yes well so do I Maria is not debauched call Frederik me if and when she orgies with a seder he will lean gracefully against a tree while playing the flute orgy is not a verb it is now near Wolf's office hi Chi I got one it's Freddy's quite a fish instructions what good would it do to give you instructions Fred yes sir she ain't hurt any I wish she was what you did to me Wow did you tell her who you are no I wouldn't do it a favor that's her bag over there who are you I will unwrap you in a minute miss Julia Magee yeah i'm nero wolfe i once talked to anybody who has a key to this room let me up the police of course would be interested to well why don't you take it over there while we unwrap you Fred hi mr. Yeager's private secretary I came here to get the dictation book I left here oh there's no dictation book here maybe you left it somewhere else so this is Yeager's room well now that I know that now Fred you don't know that less you know the better now I lied to her and she fell for it I am not answering any of your questions where is there a phone follow me I will follow you there was a man there and they attacked me and they've taken me to near a wolves yes of course mr. Aiken will be here in 20 minutes and who was mr. Regan he can Benedict Aiken he's the president of Continental plastics when did you leave your dictation book there I should let you know that I'm not going to answer any questions until mr. Aiken gets here well that won't do I can't prevent him from coming but he'll enter when it's convenient for me fine I went to that room this evening because mr. Aiken wanted me to see if there was anything there to connect mr. Yaeger with it and he provided you with keys no mr. Yaeger did I had been there on a few occasions to take dictation and you think it is suitable miliar for business dictation no I thought it was very vulgar for him to ask me there but he was my boss and it wasn't my place to think hmm finally I decided that my loyalty shouldn't be to mr. Yeager but to the corporation they paid my salary after all so a month ago I told Mr Aiken and that's all I'm saying until he gets here when Miss McGee told me about the room I asked her to mention it to no one but not refused to go back there again I wanted time to consider how to deal with this did you mention it to Yeager now I was about to take it up with my board of directors when we received news of his death naturally that was unpleasant well very unpleasant that he had been murdered but it would be disastrous for continental plastics if the existence of that room became known he won't deny that a legitimate concern legitimate and desperate you cannot possibly hope that his connection will never be divulged I don't hope I act and I will pay you to tell me how you learned of the room oh I don't sell information sir I sell services I'm buying them I'm hiring you to do what whatever is necessary to protect the reputation of my corporation I can't undertake not to disclose mr. Yeager's connection events might take charge the only alternative would be for me to take charge of events how by guiding them the most feasible plan seems to me is to provide the police with a solution to the murder which does not involve that room and if that proves to be impossible it will have been a waste of your money my self-esteem is not up to tackling the impossible sir all right then actually the typewriter two carbons on behalf of the corporation I hereby hire Nero Wolfe to perform the task of protecting and eerily wolf we just closed no facts unless you is compelled to do so by his legal obligation as a citizen and the licensed detective your fee isn't specified it will depend on what I do and who decides if you have faithfully observed that provision reason and good faith jointly applied how did you discover that room I don't start a difficult job by babbling don't be absurd you're working for me confound it sir do you want me to do this job oh no it's not what I want it's what I am stuck with you are my handle miss McGee one thing we had learned Julian McGee was a liar no man had his secretary come to that room for dictation not even if she was a lump which Julia McGee definitely was not was a whittling to take this job all I can do is flounder around in the slush yeah yesterday we had too many clients and today we have only one but that's still too many because we cannot possibly fill his order nothing in the rooms are connected to Jaeger nothing hopeless I owned it it will be an item in his estate the house not the rule we could try coup we could offer mr. and mrs. price $20,000 to move to some far corner of the earth provided they sign a confession and deliver it to the police once they're safely away good with that yeah wonderful only has one flaw they didn't kill him hmm what's your opinion my opinion it's an opinion has damn good legs under it how about some you know good old-fashioned detective work here means motive opportunity oh sure you flee because you know reason can't crack this I mean what this case needs is a good old-fashioned dose of genius but apparently you haven't turn the switch on you know or luck we could use some luck but I don't know where you keep it hidden you know just in case fully it's too much as opposed to huge so which I use I'm going to use the Rouge for color need that [ __ ] you not cooking for me I don't fourteen million six hundred eighty two thousand 235.50 s and what is this that is the cash reserves of Continental plastics after I finished sweeping the sidewalk I had nothing else left to do you know I like to keep busy so maybe you have some luck after all Nero Wolfe I'll out his house I want to see him uh well yes but den normal I'm Ellen Jager Thomas G Jager how much do you want as a retainer ladies and gentlemen client number four I want you to find out who killed my husband and exactly what happened and then I will decide what to do about it Madeline the interests of your protection I'm a bother I know all about it he was a sick man completely oversexed I've kept still about it for years but not anymore huh I'm blunt because I can't let you rattle off confidential information under the illusion that you're hiring me you can't I've already been engaged to investigate the murder of your husband you are not indeed I am no you're engaged to keep it from being investigated the board doesn't care about the murderer being caught all they care about is the corporation I have a block of stock now I don't care they can't keep me from telling the district attorney about that room if I decide to what room oh you know perfectly well what room Julia McGee went there last night and you brought her here Benedict akin told a board member and he told me you're Archie Goodwin I want to see that room no where is how much do you want for your retainer Archie the typewriter two carbons why mrs. Thomas Jaeger hereby engaged nero wolfe to investigate the circumstances of the death of my husband don't you think that this would be a great place for PTA meeting what's your name honey oh don't tell me you're modest do you want me yes no well maybe I will and maybe I won't come on lady what's it gonna be loosen up you'll live longer if in trying to find the murderer a conflict exists between his contract continental plastic plastics it was understood that he will terminate his engagement with common plastics and will adhere to this engagement with me it is also understood that I mrs. Thomas Yaeger will do nothing to interfere with this investigation without giving him notice in advance this isn't right I told you I want you to find out who killed my husband and then tell me and I will decide what to do nonsense the people of the state of New York and side what to do I'm not gonna find it I promised my husband I would never sign anything without showing him first what perhaps he would like me to sign it it doesn't do any good to sign the thing what counts is what you do not what you signed now how much do you want for a retainer oh I did not ask for a retainer nor don't nor do I ask for a fee if I discovered that you killed your husband you won't there was a time when I felt like killing him but that was years ago when the children were young now how much do you want $1 now I want to say that room no not now but I want to see that room and I want to see it now you you said that you have known for years that your husband was oversexed you used the word sick yourself so presumably yes yes I asked my doctor if there was something that could be done but that was no use my husband wouldn't do it I have a friend whose husband is an alcoholic it's the same thing you want to see a therapist inspector Kramer of homicide West has never been a client and his expression made it clear he hadn't come to Auntie a retainer greetings I'd open up but he has company yeah I know this mrs. Thomas Yaeger ring a bell she's been here for nearly half an hour open up ah make yourself at home I'll go check the idea bear yeah the man the man about the chair I his man brought the chair about half an hour ago and wants to discuss it the chair yes mrs. Yeager inspector Kramer from the New York City Police Department is at the door he knows you're here he does not how could he why do I bother talking in code when you're gonna just tell who it is until yes well presumably you might be under surveillance oh damn J me jump later am I being followed around good day miss Jagger am i being followed around well then when there's a murderer on the loose we don't like to take any chances and for your own protection you didn't protect my husband you didn't even find his body what are things to protect you from beside personal violence uh-huh like making mistakes if you said anything to wolf about your husband's death I hired him to find out who killed my husband bite anything to tell anybody I'll tell him not you get out of my way I want to know what you told wolf ask him good what are you gonna take me to see that room as soon as I can oh yeah why did you have Goodwin ask lawn Cohen for the dope on mrs. Yeager two hours before Yeager's body was found no this is specific can you be specific no I don't know that that's such a good idea mr. Pierson you might get into some trouble Oh somebody there certainly I'll call back how did you know he was dead I didn't know he was dead someone call him ex said something in this room that made mr. Goodwin ask mr. Cohen for information but first nothing that ex said indicated that he knew Yeager was dead and second nothing ex said was true his ex mrs. Yeager no I wouldn't name him if I could but I can't hmm okay all right okay but you're taking a big risk wolf podemos Kadare nose bend on puno sotto Zetas veteran press o nuestra suerte cambio chairry amo sentece Assad there is a woman upstairs that's why I'm here wait no see then I was to be fairly we must tell him Maria agrees with me pero don't know do you want me to break the tie if you're not an honest man may the good god help us dammit Oh John Morton Seymour attorney-at-law he gave it to us he say mr. Yaeger tell him to give it to us 48 hours after he died hmm I did he gave you the house wonderful how long have you known about this we didn't know we were going to go away tonight but now we fight this mr. Seymour he said a mystery are you gonna make it so that nobody ever not here on this house and we must not say he owned it so I say we stay Yaeger told you didn't he that was his mistake but you knew the house would be yours when he died if you listen do you call us liars you got a Bible por supuesto of course alright I'm gonna choose to believe you but you better not skip down that's the worst thing you can do you why did you do that it's my room yeah well I'm a detective a national detectives have bad habits how many times you've been in the room upstairs I am not allowed up there huh then watch what I tell you anyway so you can go in town my mother excuse me a shabby bono a nice talk with you would have been more desirable but they left the wait so what do you like to know anyway gents it's got a lifetime my wife mine Trudy oh it's you laugh when Fred said that our chicken was coming I nearly swim I've seen you at the Flamingo any woman who could thaw Fred on assignment was worth a serious Logan's especially since she was more soluble here than anyone else so far that's not very nice is it yeah we'll see I'm only nice when I am i dancing this is Diana how 64 Eden Street why are you here mrs. Howe my umbrella all right right well it's in the closet there you'll have to manage though without it for a while how'd it get here I left it here you know what I need a refill I'll get myself bread why don't you tell me about that Thomas Yeager I met him about three weeks ago he said he knew a place that was worth coming and I came once I mean he didn't actually sell me but I never say anything bad about the dead I am not actually worried about being suspected but uh I know how clever they are tracing things and well if things were to get out my husband might lose his job uh yes he works for Continental plastics oh no no no for NYU he's a professor well an assistant professor a professor huh of what English Lit ah yes measure your minds height by the shadow with gasps other sins only speak murder shrieks out the name of God there's nothing I enjoy more than not chatting with you but mr.

Howell would you like to please know your name and address until mr. Goodwin tells me where he saw my wife I'm explaining nothing very well Archie yes your wife she came to 156 West 82nd Street this afternoon she had keys your position is futile mr. Howe what did you hope to accomplish by sending mr. Goodwyn owner on a pointless errand you talked to her Goodwin what did she tell you yeah yeah I talked to him I gotta tell you as lies go it was not a very good one she said she had been to that apartment only once and hadn't stayed long what did you think that was a lie no no I I didn't think it was a lie I knew it was a lie mr. Howe we have humored you but our indulgence is not boundless my wife my wife shouldn't have married me she wanted things I couldn't supply she wanted to do things that I'm not inclined to so she did them without me about a year ago she suddenly had a watch that must have cost a thousand dollars then she had a fur coat and then she stood up coming home after dog I descended into sleeping curiosity creeps into the homes of the unfortunate under the names of duty or pity Pascal Nietzsche at least my wife came home that evening they didn't ask her where she'd been I had master that for a year but I found out who he was I found a telephone number scribbled on a scrap of paper in her purse so you came to see mr. Goodwyn yes I knew that when mr. Yaeger didn't turn up mr. Goodwyn would find out why he would describe me to Yeager and Yeager would tell my wife and she would know that I know you see that's what was most important I couldn't tell her I wanted her to know that I knew thank God she wasn't there on Sunday are you sure of that certainly I'm sure mr. wolf we sleep in separate beds but when she turns over I hear I seldom feel sorry for people that wolf has in a corner they usually deserve it but this time I was tempted I heard a show is supposed to be very good so I'm excited I forgot my money okay you two keep going I'll catch up with you later okay Archy we've received a letter from farmer Jenkins you remember him from Putnam County he would like to know how many starlings will be requiring this year please reply to him that we will take the usual 40 now hmm Starling pie wolf was so desperate to avoid work he surprised me but then he finally caved in no your exclusion of mr. and mrs. Perez is no longer valid they knew they would get the house nor is that pathetic imbecile how excluded he could have taken the keys from his wife and killed Yeager and took some action that would make it seem highly unlikely that he did well it only has three holes as far as I can see well I see four none beyond patching the problem is we don't have a single card to play you realize that our big ace that we know about the room it's worthless longer we keep it up our sleeve more ticklish it becomes when the police fight good night to you too hello fee I told you we sit down with friends are you afraid you can do nothing nobody can not even gold himself that's the trouble with a time like this there's no room for anything except she's dead but I have room I have room for wanting to know who killed her a killing time anything about her going out that might have had something to do with Yaeger she knew nothing about the dagger she never spoke with him and she knew nothing about the women who came here right well I don't believe that now she had very good ears she heard me uh enter this house she watched me from this room through this door she knew about the others no no every but she did Maria wouldn't do that why wouldn't a beautiful intelligent girl be interested what was happening in her house just outside her house would be absurd for her not to be interested all right right listen if the police been here see in this room they did they take anything no look I I know this is a very difficult time we have to figure out how this happened I wanted you why don't you talk order better if you can't go to bed go to the kitchen and if you will I'd like to stay here and have a look around and see if I can find something it might be helpful vamos vamos Kirito you you istil I miss Perez hmm do you have a dollar why because you are going to hire near a wolf to investigate the death of your daughter I'm taking all of this back to his office now if the police find it they'll let know about Yaeger and the room upstairs I'm not sure well I am sure and if you are not my client and I am concealing evidence you were right before well I haven't earned any medals yet okay you are now a client now the police will almost certainly be by here to ask questions under no circumstances do you mention Yaeger all right the man upstairs you've been making breakfast fourth don't bother making breakfast anymore cuz I'm gonna send him home I'm gonna gather this stuff up bring it over Mr Wolf's office yeah miss Perez tell your husband we're friends si gracias ah yeah I've danced with that one once or twice at the Flamingo what's or twice yes why are there no sketches at night Duncan well vacations need one name and face already attached with all my long neck so when she saw a woman she did not know maria made a sketch yes and put a date on the sketch Julie McGee was there last Sunday yes that she is so this Julia McGee either killed him well she found him dead well that would eliminate the Perez family and I'm not crowing I wish I'd been wrong then Maria would still be alive let's make injection no no no no no our theory is that whoever killed Jaeger killed Maria oh we haven't got us here she's how the killer made contact she wouldn't done it for the hell of it she would have wanted to make a deal okay get Fred and Miss Piggy how much do we owe friend we are now out three season the egg investigation and have a total of two dollars in retainers Fred received his instructions without a blink he has the idea that there is no limit to what wolf can do so there is no risk involved I would like to be present when wolf tells him to go to Moscow entail nikita khrushchev I miss McGee bright your boss make this way why did you send for miss McGee I am your employer you should notify me Fred yes sir you wish to speak yes sir last Sunday when I was covering the house at 82nd Street she came after dark and entered the building and why did you not speak of this on Tuesday well when I ran into her on Tuesday was a real tangle and well after I remembered that I I didn't want to be a witness in a murder case so you withheld vital information for 36 hours I'm sorry sir I know I let you down just go to the front room and wait why did you kill him miss McGee don't answer sir I dare contrived a solution that will satisfy the conditions of our contract only by knowing the truth miss McGee I am ordering you I didn't kill him I came in there he was dead he was dead and what did you do nothing I just sat there and I don't know after a few minutes I left did you tell anyone anyone at all no not mr. akin no you said your loyalty should be to the corporation not mr. Yaeger when you betrayed him I didn't betray entrer verbs second definition to prove faithless to one who trusts I am still completely in love I went there that night not to take dictation but for activities more congenial to the decor I assumed that you were decided to switch your loyalty back to mr. Yaeger my loyalty has nothing to do with it mr. Wolfe mr. Yaeger asked me to take dictation and I did it's futile I learn nothing from you sir I don't think she killed him money I don't think you do you're only making things worse booth oh sorry now when it when he gets like this it's like we're not even here see he confirmed me no no he can't hear you can't hear anything anyone know miss McGee give me your keys what your keys you call this protecting the interests of the corporation how the deuce did you get to be the president you spout you sputter and you say I have made it worse if I hadn't resorted to humbug we would not now know that mr. Yeager was in that room when he was killed and I might have blundered fatally humbug what what mr. Durkin was never at the house on Sunday Oh Hugh tricky bastard I am now gravely compromised if I had my share of prudence I would be on the telephone with inspector Kramer where were you last night from nine o'clock the Midnighters none of your damn business very well mr. gage no don't answer him he's a liar and a blackmailer no I want to I was having dinner with friends and I got home after midnight what exactly do you want mr. wolf if I lie what does it matter nice way to treat our one pain client you realize that we've never been so close to catastrophe and ignominy yes sir now it is imperative that we find the murderer before mr. Cranmer finds that route hmm Aran's Fred you will have lunch with us gets all Inori I have them here by this afternoon and what about me presumably that woman meg Duncan was at Theatre last evening well presumably I can find out the plans at 11:00 if she made a plan with Maria pres for 11:30 she wouldn't have to rush to make it instructions after you get so Lenore you already made your appointments haven't you yes but there's time my date with the actress is not for any particular minute well you better get going uh I stick around and provide the details no we won't be needing you well could make some pointed remarks right now but occasionally shows remarkably good judgment she's got a headache she can't see you I made an appointment is that Archie Goodwin Matilda he says he is send him in well you heard him Matilda send them in well I haven't got a headache sit here so where were you yesterday evening between 9:00 and midnight I wish I'd clawed your eyes out you've already used that line did you ever see or speak to a Maria Perez I don't know who that is she was murdered last night now she had a secret stash that she kept in her chest in it with three photographs of you one of them was signed now there was also some money nine five dollar bills oh my god the money yes oh my god the money do bills show fingerprints certainly now let's get to why and when you gave her the money ah I don't remember huh what is that really important because you know what I'd like to be talking about actually what I'd rather be doing right now the time the place the girl it's all way splendid combination but now's not the time and besides I'm not sure your motives are pure you have your hand on me ah yes it's a conditioned reflex it's a wonder that I didn't use both hands now about the money is the money about a year ago she sent a note to my dressing room she signed it with her address that address I asked her backstage first she wanted theater tickets for her and her friends and then she decided she wanted hush money that's what she called it hush money five dollars a month have you seen her hmm aren't you surprised surprised no nothing surprises me she was so proud she was so beautiful and my god so proud she told me about watching when she heard the street door open she turned out her light and open the door crack I knew she was doing it when I went there it gave me a feeling I don't know why it made it more exciting that she was looking huh come a little closer Hey do you like to watch I like to be watched now we'll watch out me I gotta go finish my choice don't worry about your money hush money is recoverable I had no appointment with mr. or mrs. Austin how because I preferred to have one of them alone but it didn't work out that way you find your wife yesterday what do you want nothing startling you probably know about the murder of a girl named Maria Perez no I haven't been up today who is Maria Perez mr. Wolfe is wondering how you spent your evening and your wife's boss balls is that by browning sounds more Elizabethan although I'm not up on Elizabethans you all know how my wife spent even on the jasker Dyna girl murdered last night what was her name Maria Perez it's gonna watch you know where you were last night I think you'd better tell him he saw at that place yesterday and he might as well talk to you now Hassan no I told you yesterday that I wanted her to know that I knew because I couldn't tell her it was afraid of what might happen well now what has tell me you were listening here I was here Austin memo's I'm with you yes yes Austin you've seen her now you can go no no she's your wife not mine but I would like to know if the doctor has seen her yet no no I do you want me to send for a doctor mrs. house no I'm talking to her no send her a bottle of champagne you I was more interested in my next heir which was finding out how mrs. Yeager spent the previous evening inheriting widows of murdered men always deserve attention are we going somewhere yes you're gonna take me to see that room now the cars way no no not mad no it's not a good time you said you would take me as soon as you got the chance I tried to call you last night you went home I certainly was my son was here for dinner with his wife now come on not now not today I thought so there is no such room just there's a room I've seen the room with my own eyes I don't believe you Benedict akin invented it or miró wolf or you did you've been making a fool of me I'm gonna call the district attorney oh it means you just please if you will now you are looking into my eyes we are looking at each other am i a liar yes okay you're gonna have to see the room ah but no chauffeur a taxi cuz we gotta cover our tracks you - oh [ __ ] no you get to get so far I am going take a taxi why do you think the person that killed my husband killed that girl it's complicated miss Jaeger but it's not a guess where's Maria's mother I'm gonna speak to her yeah you better not miss Jaeger it's been a tough time purge she's taking this pretty hard I know how to talk to her mother yeah sorry to bother you again mr. Prez we just got a few questions I need to ask hope you don't mind I won't take with you good with you mrs. Yeager you Pearlie yeah yeah uh wolf thought there might be a connection between the two murders you know so you know Maria might have seen the whoever dumped the body down into the hole there so that's why but you know with uhm credit if you and wolf are starting to think alike that I am truly amazing yeah come work for us sir yeah yeah yeah since when do you start yapping to me about anything but the weather good where now please sergeant I want to thank you mrs. Perez we both lost someone very dear to us it's very kind of you to let us come today on a day like this I'll phone you later I told you the truth if my daughter saw anything on Sunday she would have told me and she didn't uh-huh did you go anywhere on Sunday evening no we always knew where she was yeah yeah good well we're going downtown uh why am i under arrest not yet uh nice to have a choice miss Yeager wreck yes see you uh see you later and uh miss Perez it suited me fine to get Stebbins out of that house I on Dazz I got into the PD car I'd needed a good yawn all day but had been too busy to have one how long did they keep you I came home a little after 1:00 mmm must have been difficult it was I had to keep a wall between two sets of facts the ones they know and the ones we hope to god they'll never know satisfactory mrs. Yeager phoned and told me of your impromptu explanation to mr. Stebbins she was impressed satisfactory well to satisfactory zin one speech it's a record so it's on the program well Sol found what he was sent to find and mr. Aiken and Miss McGee will be here at 12:15 this is the evidence which supports the conjecture that whoever killed mr. Yaeger also killed Maria Perez my conjecture is that miss Perez saw someone whose name she knew arrived shortly after mr. Yaeger did on Sunday evening and she undertook an ambitious venture in extortion there's a sketch here of you Julia yes and the fact that it is in this folder makes it highly unlikely that miss McGee is the killer because miss Perez sketched only those she did not know the therapy there are pictures of meg Duncan miss Perez kept pictures of those she knew and sketches of those she did not are you familiar with this photograph don't be preposterous Posterous your face is here I understand from mrs. Yeager that ever since mr. Yeager became vice-president he has been an imminent threat to your leadership she would I have talked to others I don't have to listen I advise you to clearly Julia might have told you of her appointment so you knew Yeager would be there waiting the problem was the keys did he ever ask you to loan him yours miss McGee no I don't have to know this is mr. Arthur Wenger mr. Wender do you recognize this man who stands before you of course it's mr. Aten he was in my shop one day last week to get dupes made for us a set of ABLOY keys how sure are you I couldn't be more sure you see people are lot like keys they look alike but they're different I I don't know faces as well as I know keys but I look at keys and I look at faces an excellent habit thank you sir I got the receipt the moat in my eye so was your avowed concern for the reputation of your corporation it could hardly be reconciled with leaving the body of its vice president to be found on the floor in that room but Envy in despair were at your innards and you'll need to disgrace him dominated you utterly I don't have to listen to this I won't well you risk prison for this man miss McGee hold your tongue he's tricked you once before and he'll do it again you're a fool I'm bumbling old fool if he had any brains at all you yes I lent him my keys and I told him I would be there Sunday night so he knew mr. Yeager would be there I promised to keep him informed informed fool doesn't do you justice madam harpy or Lamia perhaps truly go my eyes are a near to ugliness but you offend me go so much for what is done now what to do you are doomed sir however I would like to satisfy the terms of my engagement and protect the reputation of your cooperation I doubt much if you care at this point but to that end I have prepared this document which I suggest that you copy in your own handwriting inside even if you are not convicted the trial the exposure shut up i benedict a can kill thomas vhagar because he threatened my control of the corporation i had labored years to build the yes i shot him in the head and transported his body to a construction site on 82nd Street and covered it with the top to postpone its discovery I feel he deserved to die and I express no remorse for my deed I feel he deserved to die and I expressed no remorse for my deed Benedict akin when was the body found on a Thursday afternoon by the maid he mailed that letter then he went home then he shot himself gentlemen of the board of Continental plastics if this affair had been left to the police there would have been a trial the existence of that room would have been bruited about in the press and mr. Aiken would have been instead of the subject of a brief sensation the center of a prolonged hullabaloo do you question my assessment of my services at $50,000 I don't know we don't question that we can't word a certified check be adequate I prefer cash you shall have it then I owe you a fee too oh I have your dollar I'll keep that you may have copies of mr. Eakins statement they're cheap at that price I must excuse myself I have a prior engagement you you
