me the truth i'll stick to you only tell me the truth i'm telling the truth she was dead when i went in there i don't know how long but if anyone knows that i was in there i'll get the blame for it we'll have to plant an alibi oh i wish you'd listen to me and not gone in there can't be helped now i got what i went after pearl are you game enough to make the man downstairs believe that man was alive when i left her apartment i'll do anything for you you know that all right i'll go back through a window locked you'll come around the hall and let you in i don't want to go in there i'm afraid

who is it some jane by the name of miriam king have to postpone our luncheon engagement we'll hear about it sooner or later so i may as well tell you miriam king reported murdered what and that's terrible how does it happen now listen i want you to do something for me you take that case yourself you may not know it but miriam king and i were well i'll come over and see you right away all right i'll meet you up at her apartment get this elizabeth hawthorne on the phone how did it happen word just came in or made founder and bed fully dressed dead as a door now you get the car and the fingerprint men down that one now what list of everybody who caught on the last couple of days i'll be down there myself in a few minutes right hello oh that was that with you last night uh yes of course how did he act perfectly normal the way he usually acts matter of fact we were out until very early this morning well i don't think you need worry anymore about that king girl taking him away from you he's just been found dead oh how awful well thanks so much for calling bob i'll be seeing you right oh just a few questions mr well how long have you worked for miss king about four months right after she came in this apartment do you live here no i come in the morning about 11 o'clock and you uh returned after dinner no sir generally i live in the afternoon she usually had dinner out did you notice anything unusual in this room when you came in this morning yes sir the lights were still on does that often happen oh sometimes in this room but never in your bedroom where uh all those windows locked yes sir oh i think so they were locked i did not examine them before i went downstairs to tell the manager can you think of any reason that anyone might have had for killing ms king oh no sir she had many friends but they all liked her did you have much jewelry we guess so she had always something where did you keep it in the dresser on the top do you think she was cleared for her jewelry she might have been there's no jewelry in the dresser now have you ever had any trouble with this king no sir well that'll be all for the president we uh we have to talk to you again later i hope you don't think i did it i'm quite sure you didn't try and get a description of the jewelry from her don't bother she leaves the apartment but don't bend it out of your sight yes sir oh let me have a glove doctor were you able to find anything well off hand i would say natural death following heart attack or suffocation accepting there's no signs of struggle or distressed features are you able to determine the time of death i would judge between uh oh 11 30 and midnight no later probably a poison undoubtedly yet the symptoms are very confusing suicide well i'd be able to answer that better after the autopsy well let me have a report as soon as you can yes sir julian you'll take up your duties in this apartment no one should be allowed in but the fingerprint man i'll arrange for relief for you okay chief they keep here to list the people that called on our yesterday van kempen mr scott mr brunel mr marino and a young lady didn't get her name but i've got a pretty good description of it with all these people allowed to go up over they announced she always insisted that her callers be announced with the exception of mr scott as they were old friends the night man said that mr mourinho went up late last night without being announced he was her last caller but she talked over the telephone here to the operator after he left the apartment so she must have been alive at that time what time is that between 11 and 12. do you happen to know mr bonnell's initials half a b he's a broker could you get these adverts yes certainly get a description of his king's jewelry from brown and set a detail around to all the pencils yes hello bart oh hello man i'm glad you volunteered to come down the one two questions i want to ask you the men here say that you called him this king yesterday yes i did late in the afternoon have you found out who killed her yet no we haven't uncovered any of unusual value as yet come on i want to see you now wait a minute i wouldn't walk if i were you it'll only upset you the men are up there now and uh they don't want to be bothered but don't you worry about my feelings i'm more interested in the capture of this murderer than you are i'll help you any way i can here's mrs brownell's address thank you you're welcome sir you better write on downtown with me man the talking is over on the way all right you know i had no idea that you and this woman were so close did you ever meet any of our friends or her family no she'd never discuss her family with me but she knew a girl named pearl hope rather well didn't do that one time until they quarreled and separated did you ever tell me what they followed about she didn't know if they met since they separated and i don't know you uh did you take this apartment no but i probably would have that i met her in time she moved in there a couple of weeks before i met him but you did contribute to her support miriam had no income of her own so naturally i supported him no on second thoughts man i think perhaps you better not go with me on this interview you might learn things you don't want to know i want to know everything that's said about her you policemen have a great habit of digging up all the dirt in a girl's life she may need a defender as a matter of fact i'm the only intimate friend she's had in the past few months and i'm not going to desert her now there's one more thing there you'll be seeing a good deal of bet now that uh the interests are not divided naturally this is the only high flyer i ever took my feeding store bet haven't changed i'm glad to hear that i wonder if you are you know i've always had a feeling that you were just a little bit jealous ever since beth and i hit it off i'd like to see mr burnell please will you just wait a moment please [Music] ever play the market forget that i'm a public servant that position does not carry a very big salary well it hasn't been doing so very well with me lately i'm sorry but mr brunell will be unable to see you can i do anything for you no i must see him tell him to wait his entire afternoon is engaged couldn't i make an appointment for you later in the week give that to mr burdell oh by the way man are these your gloves no not mine is king's apartment this morning you think they belong to brownell well we should see they don't belong to a very big man step right this way mr good morning barton morning i'm henry barton of the homicide squad this is mr van kempen i'd like to ask you a few questions with regard to the murder of miriam king of course i regret miss king's death exceedingly but i must insist that her murder if it was murder does not justify your visit to my office would you prefer that we visit you at your own home don't be ridiculous i see no reason why i should explain my contact to you now there's nothing further i can do for you gentlemen i must bid you good day you understand that considerable publicity might ensue if we are forced to take other means to make you speak you can't threaten me and gentlemen you have me cornered i'm prepared to place myself in your hands what is your price information and facts what is your price for silence i'm an officer of the law mr burnell bribery is a crime i don't think you want to make any bargain very well uh take a chair i have nothing to conceal from you but neither my uh family nor my associate know anything about my friendship with miss king that would be most disastrous you saw this king yesterday yes i've seen miss king about twice a week for the last two or three months we had dinner together last night and returned to her apartment about 10 30. i left approximately 15 minutes later was she wearing any jewelry when she was with you last night yes she wore a necklace and a dinner ring that i had given her there was no jewelry on the body when it was found then you think the motor might have been robbery possibly would you give me a description of those two pieces of jewelry a stern stern could give you a better description they were purchased there in my name was there anything unusual or out of the ordinary in your meeting with ms king last night yes sir there was she made a demand on me for quite a large sum of money i wasn't prepared to give it to her our relations ended in an argument you felt that you'd given her enough money or had you discovered that there were other friends beside yourself oh she hadn't any other intimate friends she couldn't have had why she was always at my beck and call and i paid liberty for that privilege that's why i saw no reason for giving her this extra money would you mind repeating as nearly as you can remember your conversation with her yes i will all though i feel that uh to do so would point a great deal of suspicion towards me i'm sorry mr barton is not in it really isn't important i just want to tell him i told him his king late last night and thought you might want to ask me some questions i'm expecting him any minute can't you wait well all right thank you he didn't say this gentleman wants to talk to you mr boss he saw him as king late last night look me up step into my office i'll be with you in a few minutes miss king lived with this address with a pearl hall a few months ago sign yes sir how about the maid well she went straight home and she hasn't phoned anyone i got the telephone company watching the wires and thurston on her trail hop over to sterling's turn and get a description of the jewelry that mr bronnell fought this king yes sir well you still want to trade along or have you found out enough i'll trail alone right you uh said you knew something about the king murder mr uh moreno i'm afraid i know nothing about the murder but i was with miss king late last night have you known this king very long knew when she lived on 54th street and trail along when she moved to the banister arms used to see her a couple of times a week in fact i saw her last night happened to be going by about 11 30 and dropped in she wasn't feeling very well so i only stayed a few minutes was she expecting you no very seldom made dates with her just dropped in were you announced by the operator no all the boys knew me i was told that this king insisted that all her visitors be announced well the boys will all tell you i never was how was ms king dressed when you called her she had on an evening down and a jewelry a ring and a necklace that's all i saw recalled last night you happen to notice whether the windows were open or closed closed you sure quite sure i wanted to open them and she refused because she said she'd feel well and sort of chilling wanted them clothes you live in the city mr uh moreno yes where the clinton hotel oh then you'll be here permanently i don't know about that i've been talking about going to europe with some friends although we haven't set the sailing date are these your gloves so there's where i left them yes how well do you know pearl hope she lived with this king at 54th street you must have met her there but a few months ago quite forgotten did you telephone miss hope last night before you called on it i came here to give your handy not to be insulted i'm telling you i did not see miss hope last night and if i had it would not have been any of your business yes why did you question him about prayer of hope oh it was just a wild stab when i saw him winter the first mention of her name i knew that i'd struck home well i wouldn't be surprised if there'd been bad blood between william king and this pearl hope what do you think i don't know my mind isn't a muddle you know this has all been a great revelation to me and i can't tell you how shocked i am i think mourinho knows more than he's told us well why don't you let him go then he'll show us more than he will tell us oh i see here's the columnist report definite traces of amicomine a derivative of aconite were found death followed within an hour after injection of the poison said this would be a feeling of drowsiness which would account for her being found on the bed fully dressed hamlet could be not fatal if taken by mouth needs to be injected into the blood point of infection would scratch on the thumb probably from a fin or needle or any sharp-pointed instrument which might have been dipped in the poison what does that give you a clue no not unless the poison is a difficult one to get we look into that well i think if you don't mind i'll get along because i've had about all i can stand for one day well i can quite understand that try and spend some time with beth probably it'll ease your conscience naturally okay check in later well let me know if anything turns out i will marina when i write the phone call of pearl hope good did you get her address yes sir here it is bannister arms directly across the court from his king's apartment and they all may not have known that they lived at the same apartment it just hope breaks a call you got them all there yeah two necklaces two rings four bracelets from the brooch but i didn't know they were stolen mr scott told me that he and his wife had business troubles so he had upon her jewels i will take him down to headquarters anyway yeah but how am i gonna get my money back when i put out on it well i can't worry about that you'll have to see scott got his address yeah not far from here and here's your receipt but i don't think you'll ever see him against me uh-huh yeah yeah central give me uh brian 4638 yeah i should do business with such a local hello yes just a minute you want it on the telephone all right hello scotty the dicks was here and i had to give him up the stuff say why why don't you get rid of it i didn't have time say i think they're going over to your place now they was awful anxious to see you you didn't have to give my right address did you sure i did why ain't i a law abiding citizen say i want you to give me my money back before they catch you [Music] where's mr scott's room first room at the head of the stairs yes is anything wrong yeah just want it for murder [Music] just a minute what are you running for i ain't running for nothing i'm gonna already catch a train my auntie my uncle is down to depot i guess i can wait no no no you don't understand i gotta go to the station that's all right we'll cease to get to the station wait look hey you're scott aren't you no my name is callahan well callahan or scott you enter the description of the mug we're looking for it come on hey look wait a minute you're making a mistake i'll get you black football spot for this i got three fluids in this town too i don't want i'm afraid there's very little i can tell you you lived with her for some time didn't you yes we had an apartment together downtown i met miss king shortly after coming to new york why did you stop rooming with her was it a quarrel of some sort not exactly more like a misunderstanding she stayed out late night and i had to get up early in the morning we just got on each other's nerves but you knew she was in this building when you took this apartment no i didn't we had looked at apartment two together once but i didn't know she was here until i heard she was murdered when was that right i read about in the paper this morning i see the news didn't appear in the paper till the noon edition well i slept late i still thought it was morning when i read about it what time did you see mourinho yesterday the sweethearts i believe well perhaps i will talk to you some other time no i'll tell you the truth you may not believe me but i didn't see mr marino yesterday when did you see him a few months ago just before miriam and i separated but i haven't seen him since has he telephoned you recently yes he did today he told me i was in danger and would probably be questioned and he wanted to warn me why should he want to warn you if you have nothing to conceal that's what i told him but he said you might try to trick me with questions and he wants me to be on guard what did he tell you to say he didn't tell me to say anything just said to be careful i guess that'll be all miss hope you'll be here if we want you i suppose oh yes i'm planning on leading for europe to continue the study of my music but i have to sublet my apartment first i won't run away no i don't think you will good afternoon good day so the new report not a thing no one called no mail in fact this is a swear way for a strong man to be preserved in law and order well you never can tell what may happen here don't make yourself at home let me know if you hear a man's voice an apartment across the west where you suspect them i suspect everybody hey how long are you going to keep me here you're resting comfortable ain't you relax here's a description of that jewelry that brunell bought it was a pin too he took it out yesterday and brought it back again this morning she said she didn't like it a pin eh yes sir we'll get hold of it have the point examined see if there's any trace of poison that's on it yes sir well good afternoon gentlemen we picked up the mug that sold the jewelry he hopped in at rubens this morning scotch his name has he talked no shut up like a clam but i'll make him talk before we get through with him or i'll knock him loose from his reason oh everything seems to be here except the necklace and the ring she wore last night i guess he's got him bunked somewhere well maybe mr scott didn't have that's what i've been telling these mugs but they won't believe me well now you got me here what are you gonna do with me william k was murdered i want to know where you got her jewelry oh so that's it man you're gonna try and try and frame me for for bumping her off huh well go ahead and ask your questions i ain't gonna say nothing till i see my mouthpiece that attitude's not gonna help you eddie i'm after information and unless you can tell me where you got these trinkets i'm going to put you under arrest a murder i know you were in william king's apartment a few hours before she was murdered and if you can tell me how you persuaded her to give you these jewels well it may save you high well maybe you're right i went there yesterday afternoon to get some dough oh is she ready to give it to you she was not too keen about it said she didn't have it but i made a kick in with the jewels i told her i would give him back to her this afternoon if she could raise the cash oh then she didn't expect you to farm them and i didn't care nothing about that you seem to have known this miss king pretty well yeah for a long time she was different from most of these scared you know i i broke her into the bright lights the big time she was just a small town hick when i first seen her any more questions yes was she uh married well no not exactly she was engaged a couple of times she used to pick up a few cents here and now with engagements blackmail well most of these chumps write letters and lettuce is just as good as checks if you ask me well she engaged to a van camping well no she was working up to it she was going to have him landed in a few more days or while she engaged to mourinho sure they busted up though just before she moved uptown mourinho went on to make for pearl hope he sent miriam a lot of letters though she still got him uh at least she still had him up to last night how about mr burnell an out and out steal what a sailor for a blonde that old baby is well that'll be all for the present we'll hold these hey look you can't do that all men reuben will have me in jail if i don't bring this stuff back to him on the contrary i'm afraid we'll ask you to stay in jail for a few days no hey you can't keep me in jail i ain't done nothing wait look hey look i want to speak to my life hello there's a man over in that whole team's apartment i heard him when he came in yeah she said you shouldn't have come here then they closed the windows and i didn't hear anything more keep an eye on them but don't leave the apartment i'll send someone up all right take some men and cover all entrances to the banister arms and call up this hope and say that you're from my office you want to examine her apartment arrest anybody who tries to beat it in this morino take you back to her place and i'll be right along right [Music] calm yourself and uh tell us all about this you see i needed the money very badly i thought as more of the other jewels were gone no one would not but it began praying on my mind and i tried to put them where they would never be found that is that exactly how you must have felt perhaps there are some other things you can tell us that we'd like to know did any of his king's friends have the key to the apartment oh maybe mr scott but i'm not sure i knew she did not like him but i'm sure no one else did this king ever do any sewing or mending no she never saw that song i did all the mailings oh she would not even throw a button on yourself did mr moreno ever call it the apartments when you were there i know he never came as far as i knew he always telephoned her and i see you just come to my office for a few moments see if that pearl helps upstairs with the pleasure mr dyke is the guy's falling hello miss hulk this is dyches from barton's office i want to look around on the roof outside your windows and see if i can find anything thank you i'll be right up there's a detective coming up he must find you here that's right you stick to your story hi experiment stop where you are drop you what's your name come on back for your king the idea god is my judge that's exactly what i did when i found this king dead he didn't do it i tell you he didn't you have to believe it would you mind telling me why you spent so much time in this hope's apartment i'll tell you don't do it pearl it won't do any good we were married about two months ago but why weren't you living together miriam was blackmailing jose but let us he'd written her before he knew me she was bitter against the both of us had she know we were married she would have sued him for breach of promise he knew that would hurt me are you in the habit of spending the night here mr mourinho yes two or three times a week i live at the clinton apartment the employees of this house know nothing of your association with this hope that's true i always walked up to one side of stairs they thought i was calling on miss king instead i came here when i stayed all night i used to go out to service entrance early in the morning on this hopes account you can understand that i believe your story mr mourinho although i don't quite agree with your method still i don't think you've told me all that happened what do you think i've lied about i don't think you told me of one trip you made the miss king's apartment i told you i was there twice once to get the letters and the next time to unlock the door so let's hope to come in there and telephone she verified that yes i remember by your own story you had every motive for murdering william king i think you neglected to tell me of the visit you made to her apartment while ms hope was asleep at the other rooms you're trying to make me admit something i didn't do it's true i need some more evidence before i can prove it i'm not quite sure what my next move should be i'd say put them under arrest no the famous hope wouldn't sleep very well tonight if we did that mr and mrs mourinho against my better judgment i'm going to allow you to spend the night here to be a gardener so don't try any uh sudden trips to europe everything we told you is the truth i swear it we're very much in love we didn't understand that perhaps you'll realize why we've acted the way we have now that our secret is not we'll do all we can to help clear this up yes i'm sure you will why not placing you both under arrest is that rather unusual without disappointment we won't do you think he believed this i'm praying that he did you think he did it well the closer now that we've been he had the strongest motives if you can reach the fingerprint in this lake get them over here have them go over the king apartment especially around the bed where she was found yes sir also check out that phone conversation with the night operator by the way albeit river 1570 if anything important turns up you can reach me there right give me an outside world can't we talk to something else besides this murder i suppose we should but i must admit it's the most baffling cases come to my attention for some time have you eliminated any suspects yet well i eliminate them when they eliminate themselves i just had a report that there was no poison on the pin which grinnell returned to the jewelers of course that doesn't necessarily eliminate him he could have had a pin in his glove when he squeezed william's hand even if she noticed it she didn't have to pay particular attention to it well i feel sorry for the two honeymooners naturally a woman said but they would go taught them but i've practically eliminated them as suspects they're not the type they haven't got that uh murderous look how about scott he certainly isn't eliminated although i don't think he wanted to see this king out of the way he had his living to consider i'm surprised you haven't suspected that i have but he hadn't
