Speaker 2 (04:22):
The waiter, of course of the.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Guy who called me a white faced young.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Kid sweating with his black SI up under his left ear.
They walked outside and got into a car park in
front of the restaurant of all things, a limousine with
delivered children. I watched through the front doors that pulled.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Away, picked the rise's number and called the Department of Lada.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Being the car belong to Mike Sheldon, none of the
voters of the North Beach section as Uncle Mike, a whitehead,
jolly faced gentleman of dubious means and still more dubious methods,
who had something to do with politics. What he had
to do with a weasel like Freddy Mohai much has
a poor waiter boy at Barney's was something to ponder.
I sidled back to my booth and attacked the corn
beef on wheat my teeth, instead of going all the
(05:01):
way through the sandwich, which is the way I like it, struck.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Something firm and unyielding. I pulled from between the.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Letters and the bread of waxed paper envelope. Inside was
a fifty dollars bill and a small photograph of a
blonde Denny. The waiter had scribbled three words in the
corner of it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Find this girl you care.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
For some more coffee? So I got, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
bring the pot with you and the waiter.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes, this Danny the kidder was just here.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What's his last name, Denny? It's western Annyway Yeah, Okay,
where does he live.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know, Well, I'm not sure. I think he isn't
a popping out around.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Rockin street somewhere. But I'm not your funny kid.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, what's funny about him? I mean working as a
waiter and a joint like this one.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
His sister had all that doe living in that nove
your apartment and all he was assistant Monica Weston. You
must have heard of her, used to be a dancer,
some joined over in North beat.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, I don't get around much anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
When you saw it papers, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
She was in the papers?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, committed suicide.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Jenny nearly went.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Off his rocket.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, look is this here?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Assisted let me see nah?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
No, No, Michael was a redhead.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
This here's a blonde.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That coffee while it stop here.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I examined my sandwich for further clothes, found nothing except
corn beef. So I put it back together and began
to eat it while I scrutinized the picture of the blonde.
A nice looking girl in her twenties, no scars, birthmarks,
but feet or anything else is set her apart from
roughly twenty five thousand other blondes in San Francisco. There
were a couple of points though the picture was about
two inches square, showing her head and shoulders, and her
(06:31):
hand was up to her face that she was the
cries of something near the camera, and one of the
fingers was a ring which I couldn't quite make out in.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
The back of the picture of the letters L dashed P.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now this is probably the credit stamp of some professional photographer.
I abandoned my sandwich comb through the yellow section of
the phone book and stifled a cry of primp as
I discovered the firm of Lennard and Prikins, photographer with
an office on Bush Street, where forthwith I went, No,
I'm sorry, mister Stade, I don't think we did that here.
If you're sure that's not your mark on the back,
(07:01):
mister Lennon will positive.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And anyway, that's not the kind of work we do.
Looks like an outdoor flash shot. OS is all studio stuff,
funny trimming it down like that, trimming it down.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, this is probably a standard eight by ten.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Someone just cut the center out of it, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
By So I went to the telephone book again, but
instead of looking for.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
The el guys pree.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Here's the front of message of the firm.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I looked for them in the middles and four vans
of the photographer's credit stamp with krim dawk and I
ran across on our flip called cal picts on hurricanes. Yes, sir,
I'd like to speak to the proprietically.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's three of them, mister Murphy's SILVERI and mister Brennet's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Take your pick Murphy'd how about Sylviian Uh where they
tied up first?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
You're right, that's the main studio.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Do not enter if the red lighter is on heaven
for fun let me go.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I have seen photographers at work in my time, but
not right this. I saw now why they were tied up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
They were fit to be tied in the middle of
the studio. It was a massive equipment.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It looked like a cross between the paramount telescope and
an atom smasher, with what seemed to me as stretched
out accordion on the bottom. All of it pointed at
something lit up by floodlights on a small table. I
got a close eye ponder, but it was Renison Silveria.
We're photographing.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I played a pork and bean out for crying O loud.
Look at that point, what is the matter with that port?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
What's the matter with it?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It just lies there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
What do you expected to excuse me? Fellas? I did

Speaker 1 (08:47):

Speaker 2 (09:24):

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Don't you remember Ali Sheese kicked out the other night looking?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh yeah, she's caked down at the railroad.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Yeah that was for Norby's nifty nylon.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You mean this girl's a model?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Done?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, she walked in front of the camera at just
the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Allow stuff to shot.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We had to shoot it over. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
We we had a model with a pair of Norby's
nylons on sea. Uh, we're known brand of stocking. And
the idea was the stand her up next to a
tree coming down at the Then what we tried to
do was.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Get a shot of a fixing a god god you know,
yeah sure, with a lot of admiring glances from the crowd. Yeah,
had new idea real train, real station, a real thief.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Human documentary.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah. Al sets up the camera and a model mix
with a god, and I whistled to get the crowd
die and we set off the flesh.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But the name here walked in front of the camp.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
However, it was not hurtful.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
No, that was an awful night here.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We all crop file would give her a shot right swell,
what's her name? I don't know what did she come by? Yeah,
a couple of mornings ago.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I gave it a print and the negative to get
me other copies of it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Take us a while to check the file. Yeah, well,
well let's show that. And if you're paying anything, here's
my phone now. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Now, as I was saying about that sport again, with
your your port, there is nothing you can do to
I glamorize.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So I bought an afternoon of paper and went back
to the office to take the load off my fat
and smallow it his latest tourn of events. I mowed
the side of the contact Denny Wesson, my client found
his phone number. Book was about the call, and the
corn went off in my hand.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Sam Spade.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
On the night, Yeah, yeah, I know. I was about
the crowd.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Don't you don't know me? I never saw it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wait a minute, now, I've been chasing that blind all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You got it's a matter.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's Freddy standing there with a gun at your Okay,
the I'm gonna talk about your sister, Moniker. Maybe there's blind.
You're stuck in my corn beef sandwich, and don't let
Freddy throw a scare into Hello.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hello Dan. So that left me with a set of
grim suspicions, a fifty dollars bill, and no plan.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I put my feet up in the desk and opened
the paper.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Then I put my feet back down on the floor.
On the front page was a picture of my blind
with a.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Caption over it reading do you know this girl? I
took the other picture out of my pocket and compared them.
They were the same except for one thing. The picture
in the paper was taken on a slab and a
set more. While putting my shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Back on, I read the article under the picture of
my bron It was simple enough. She turned up in
the bay and the yacht Hummer an hour.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Before with a bloods in their back paper said nothing
about identifications. Didn't have to knowing you as I do, Lieutenant.
I realized that there had been anything on the body
to identify the picture wouldn't have been.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In the papers.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How pictures plans this a spade, got anything on that
front of the blond. We're still on the pork and fields. Yeah,
well drawn. I didn't check the files. And if you
find the print, sit on it or put it in
the safe of something. Understand the pork and beans will
half the way until we find who put the lady
in the bay. I had a pretty good idea who'll
(13:01):
put the lady in the bay, but why and how
to prove it was something else? Again, so I turned
back to the picture, got out of my fifteen cents
to a magnifying glass and look at close the look.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
At the ring in her hands.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It seemed to be black, shaped like a shield with
a gold center that looked like a Dagger in a
mask by a telophone. Calls later, I found the company
that made it for an honor society at the University
of California, Blowing Gold office. Is that the campus yearbook,
the Blue and Gold.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You probably the pictures of the members of the Mask
and Daggers are signing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We sure do.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
My name is Spade. I am trying to locate one
of the members of the society.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
If you got the yearbook files in your office, squear.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Back to eighteen ninety five, Well good.
Speaker 2 (13:40):

uh tell me what if Helen have to there with
Mike Sheldon?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Come on, my, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Much about it. She was a lovely girl, streeting. She
except things to herself.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Most soon what kind of things she was doing?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Some kind of political work in the North Beach she
did too?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You mean she was working for Mike Shallon, Oh uh, never.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Trying to deceit him, expose his rackets and his gamble,
and havn't known what else he was involved in. And
she took it all so seriously. Petician and leafless and
telephone colors.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I see.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I kept telling her she was worshing too hard and
the health would go onto the last election of time.
She spent a week in the hospital, but it was
all useless. Showed them the two days and powerful while
he never even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Gee, he didn't know about sight.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I know and then last weakest strange thing happened. I
haven't read it. In the weekend with my sister in
Talawun too. She came back Monday to be excited and
at last she had a weapon against night Sheldon.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I don't know. It wasn't just Sheldon, his whole organization.
She's only crazy like she was going to tackle Themorrow
by herself.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Done what.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Kids moved out to some hotels. She wouldn't stay where.
I was worried about it. I looked through her room afterwards.
That's when I found this clipping.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Last Thursday's chronicle. They did health Police seek motive and
Showgirl suicide. Investigation of the circumstances surrontomous suicide of Monica
Weston nightclub dancer moved into a third day without producing
a reason why the girl apparently took her own life
Friday night by leaping from a southbound train train. I
(16:54):
took off the headquarters.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Whereas your recall, cause we went over to buy on
the Showgirl capers.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You'll also recall we came up with nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It wasn't in the newspaper.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The girl had apparently climbed aboard the train at third
and Town East down the aisle at the end of
the car, or a porter up, the door open and
pulling herself off on a straight away stretch near South City.
So the train hits it up around seventy miles an hour.
She'd been pretty unaccountably prosperous and hardly a candidate for suicide,
but nothing had turned up in her background and set
her up as a candidate for murder either. So that's
(17:24):
where it stood. Two dead young ladies and a missing
cheesecake photograph of Norby's.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Nifty mile line. Feeling this is enough for a day,
I went back to my apartment. I tossed my hat on.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The bed and started to pour myself a drink. I
want to spoils.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Huh, oh, Freddy, I'm stunt pushing at the boats bottled.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Ye, that's not so bad, Freddy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, well, I expect to go home to a cold,
empty apartment.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And I find you. How about a drink? Ah? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Come to a'd you get in and walk under the door?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh in a game, ud ain't you?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I'm a cheerful dip.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Had a busy day, steak or ran.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
A few errands. Say you know, there's an ugly rumor
running around town.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Freddy. They're saying uncle Mike Sheldon played soccer for this
Monica Western dame, that she was.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Shaking him down and he got tired of it. What
were the election coming up? And off?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's a fact, And they say she didn't commit suicide
at all.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, where did you do in Union Square? While I
was feeding the pigeons?
Speaker 4 (18:19):

We found the print in the files and it's here.
The secretary just poon a booner.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Whatever do you mean? Nah? Someone named Mike Shelton called

the table there? I thought it out of the food
light and looked at it. The blind was in the foreground,
blocking out the model of the Garter, but the shop
wasn't entirely worth us, since directly behind her, about to
get on the train, looking squarely into the camera was
(20:35):
Monica Weston the dead showgirl and Weather where his white
mane of flying was. You know who?

Hold it, boys, I ducked out of a circle of
light as they came in, Sheldon first and three out

itself felt until sometime after the beginning of this, which

The waiter, of course of the.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Guy who called me a white faced young.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Kid sweating with his black SI up under his left ear.
They walked outside and got into a car park in
front of the restaurant of all things, a limousine with
delivered children. I watched through the front doors that pulled.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Away, picked the rise's number and called the Department of Lada.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Being the car belong to Mike Sheldon, none of the
voters of the North Beach section as Uncle Mike, a whitehead,
jolly faced gentleman of dubious means and still more dubious methods,
who had something to do with politics. What he had
to do with a weasel like Freddy Mohai much has
a poor waiter boy at Barney's was something to ponder.
I sidled back to my booth and attacked the corn
beef on wheat my teeth, instead of going all the
(05:01):
way through the sandwich, which is the way I like it, struck.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Something firm and unyielding. I pulled from between the.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Letters and the bread of waxed paper envelope. Inside was
a fifty dollars bill and a small photograph of a
blonde Denny. The waiter had scribbled three words in the
corner of it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Find this girl you care.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
For some more coffee? So I got, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
bring the pot with you and the waiter.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes, this Danny the kidder was just here.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What's his last name, Denny? It's western Annyway Yeah, Okay,
where does he live.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know, Well, I'm not sure. I think he isn't
a popping out around.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Rockin street somewhere. But I'm not your funny kid.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, what's funny about him? I mean working as a
waiter and a joint like this one.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
His sister had all that doe living in that nove
your apartment and all he was assistant Monica Weston. You
must have heard of her, used to be a dancer,
some joined over in North beat.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, I don't get around much anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
When you saw it papers, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
She was in the papers?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, committed suicide.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Jenny nearly went.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Off his rocket.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, look is this here?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Assisted let me see nah?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
No, No, Michael was a redhead.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
This here's a blonde.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That coffee while it stop here.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I examined my sandwich for further clothes, found nothing except
corn beef. So I put it back together and began
to eat it while I scrutinized the picture of the blonde.
A nice looking girl in her twenties, no scars, birthmarks,
but feet or anything else is set her apart from
roughly twenty five thousand other blondes in San Francisco. There
were a couple of points though the picture was about
two inches square, showing her head and shoulders, and her
(06:31):
hand was up to her face that she was the
cries of something near the camera, and one of the
fingers was a ring which I couldn't quite make out in.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
The back of the picture of the letters L dashed P.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now this is probably the credit stamp of some professional photographer.
I abandoned my sandwich comb through the yellow section of
the phone book and stifled a cry of primp as
I discovered the firm of Lennard and Prikins, photographer with
an office on Bush Street, where forthwith I went, No,
I'm sorry, mister Stade, I don't think we did that here.
If you're sure that's not your mark on the back,
(07:01):
mister Lennon will positive.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And anyway, that's not the kind of work we do.
Looks like an outdoor flash shot. OS is all studio stuff,
funny trimming it down like that, trimming it down.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, this is probably a standard eight by ten.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Someone just cut the center out of it, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
By So I went to the telephone book again, but
instead of looking for.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
The el guys pree.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Here's the front of message of the firm.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I looked for them in the middles and four vans
of the photographer's credit stamp with krim dawk and I
ran across on our flip called cal picts on hurricanes. Yes, sir,
I'd like to speak to the proprietically.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's three of them, mister Murphy's SILVERI and mister Brennet's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Take your pick Murphy'd how about Sylviian Uh where they
tied up first?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
You're right, that's the main studio.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Do not enter if the red lighter is on heaven
for fun let me go.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I have seen photographers at work in my time, but
not right this. I saw now why they were tied up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
They were fit to be tied in the middle of
the studio. It was a massive equipment.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It looked like a cross between the paramount telescope and
an atom smasher, with what seemed to me as stretched
out accordion on the bottom. All of it pointed at
something lit up by floodlights on a small table. I
got a close eye ponder, but it was Renison Silveria.
We're photographing.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I played a pork and bean out for crying O loud.
Look at that point, what is the matter with that port?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
What's the matter with it?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It just lies there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
What do you expected to excuse me? Fellas? I did
we hire you? You didn't?
Speaker 1 (08:47):

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh yeah, she's caked down at the railroad.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Yeah that was for Norby's nifty nylon.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You mean this girl's a model?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Done?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, she walked in front of the camera at just
the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Allow stuff to shot.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We had to shoot it over. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
We we had a model with a pair of Norby's
nylons on sea. Uh, we're known brand of stocking. And
the idea was the stand her up next to a
tree coming down at the Then what we tried to
do was.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Get a shot of a fixing a god god you know,
yeah sure, with a lot of admiring glances from the crowd. Yeah,
had new idea real train, real station, a real thief.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Human documentary.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah. Al sets up the camera and a model mix
with a god, and I whistled to get the crowd
die and we set off the flesh.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But the name here walked in front of the camp.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
However, it was not hurtful.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
No, that was an awful night here.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We all crop file would give her a shot right swell,
what's her name? I don't know what did she come by? Yeah,
a couple of mornings ago.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I gave it a print and the negative to get
me other copies of it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Take us a while to check the file. Yeah, well,
well let's show that. And if you're paying anything, here's
my phone now. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Now, as I was saying about that sport again, with
your your port, there is nothing you can do to
I glamorize.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So I bought an afternoon of paper and went back
to the office to take the load off my fat
and smallow it his latest tourn of events. I mowed
the side of the contact Denny Wesson, my client found
his phone number. Book was about the call, and the
corn went off in my hand.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Sam Spade.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
On the night, Yeah, yeah, I know. I was about
the crowd.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Don't you don't know me? I never saw it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wait a minute, now, I've been chasing that blind all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You got it's a matter.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's Freddy standing there with a gun at your Okay,
the I'm gonna talk about your sister, Moniker. Maybe there's blind.
You're stuck in my corn beef sandwich, and don't let
Freddy throw a scare into Hello.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hello Dan. So that left me with a set of
grim suspicions, a fifty dollars bill, and no plan.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I put my feet up in the desk and opened
the paper.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Then I put my feet back down on the floor.
On the front page was a picture of my blind
with a.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Caption over it reading do you know this girl? I
took the other picture out of my pocket and compared them.
They were the same except for one thing. The picture
in the paper was taken on a slab and a
set more. While putting my shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Back on, I read the article under the picture of
my bron It was simple enough. She turned up in
the bay and the yacht Hummer an hour.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Before with a bloods in their back paper said nothing
about identifications. Didn't have to knowing you as I do, Lieutenant.
I realized that there had been anything on the body
to identify the picture wouldn't have been.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In the papers.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How pictures plans this a spade, got anything on that
front of the blond. We're still on the pork and fields. Yeah,
well drawn. I didn't check the files. And if you
find the print, sit on it or put it in
the safe of something. Understand the pork and beans will
half the way until we find who put the lady
in the bay. I had a pretty good idea who'll
(13:01):
put the lady in the bay, but why and how
to prove it was something else? Again, so I turned
back to the picture, got out of my fifteen cents
to a magnifying glass and look at close the look.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
At the ring in her hands.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It seemed to be black, shaped like a shield with
a gold center that looked like a Dagger in a
mask by a telophone. Calls later, I found the company
that made it for an honor society at the University
of California, Blowing Gold office. Is that the campus yearbook,
the Blue and Gold.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:27):

and Daggers are signing.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Trying to deceit him, expose his rackets and his gamble,
and havn't known what else he was involved in. And
she took it all so seriously. Petician and leafless and
telephone colors.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I see.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I kept telling her she was worshing too hard and
the health would go onto the last election of time.
She spent a week in the hospital, but it was
all useless. Showed them the two days and powerful while
he never even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Gee, he didn't know about sight.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I know and then last weakest strange thing happened. I
haven't read it. In the weekend with my sister in
Talawun too. She came back Monday to be excited and
at last she had a weapon against night Sheldon.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I don't know. It wasn't just Sheldon, his whole organization.
She's only crazy like she was going to tackle Themorrow
by herself.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Done what.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Kids moved out to some hotels. She wouldn't stay where.
I was worried about it. I looked through her room afterwards.
That's when I found this clipping.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Last Thursday's chronicle. They did health Police seek motive and
Showgirl suicide. Investigation of the circumstances surrontomous suicide of Monica
Weston nightclub dancer moved into a third day without producing
a reason why the girl apparently took her own life
Friday night by leaping from a southbound train train. I
(16:54):
took off the headquarters.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Whereas your recall, cause we went over to buy on
the Showgirl capers.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You'll also recall we came up with nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It wasn't in the newspaper.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The girl had apparently climbed aboard the train at third
and Town East down the aisle at the end of
the car, or a porter up, the door open and
pulling herself off on a straight away stretch near South City.
So the train hits it up around seventy miles an hour.
She'd been pretty unaccountably prosperous and hardly a candidate for suicide,
but nothing had turned up in her background and set
her up as a candidate for murder either. So that's
(17:24):
where it stood. Two dead young ladies and a missing
cheesecake photograph of Norby's.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Nifty mile line. Feeling this is enough for a day,
I went back to my apartment. I tossed my hat on.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The bed and started to pour myself a drink. I
want to spoils.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Huh, oh, Freddy, I'm stunt pushing at the boats bottled.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Ye, that's not so bad, Freddy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, well, I expect to go home to a cold,
empty apartment.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And I find you. How about a drink? Ah? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Come to a'd you get in and walk under the door?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh in a game, ud ain't you?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I'm a cheerful dip.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Had a busy day, steak or ran.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
A few errands. Say you know, there's an ugly rumor
running around town.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Freddy. They're saying uncle Mike Sheldon played soccer for this
Monica Western dame, that she was.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Shaking him down and he got tired of it. What
were the election coming up? And off?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's a fact, And they say she didn't commit suicide
at all.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, where did you do in Union Square? While I
was feeding the pigeons?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think I'm kick?
Speaker 1 (18:20):

Speaker 2 (18:21):

Speaker 1 (18:22):
You know what happens to boys who play with guns?
Speaker 2 (18:24):

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, hell all yeah, tal pictures. Listen about that.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Oh now, Luela, don't take on. So I didn't mean
it that way, Luella, Uh no, No, I'm talking about
the she takes off down at the dimple. Luwella, honey,
the girl is only a good friend. It's all your imagination.
It's not my imagination.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
We found the print in the files and it's here.
The secretary just poon a booner.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Whatever do you mean? Nah? Someone named Mike Shelton called
and she told him that we had it.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Now he's only we here to pick.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No, no, no, listen, Noela, don't do it. I'll be
right down.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Sorry, Freddie, I know you ain't going nowhere?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
What's Freddy? This girl? She's all worked up about nothing?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I do you want to know what you were doing
the same? I went to a phototas on Heliche Street
three pm, across to the campus at President, then after
four to a looming house on Bay Street, and from
five thirty to seven at headquarters Stephens Kit.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's just likely.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well et, Freddie, your imaginations running away? Come on, have
a drink, all right?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I told you I don't want to drink.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The bottle was half all but the same like your
good investments. Freddie took it, just go over the left
there side and sat on the floor.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I dragged him into the closet, locked it.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And put her off atal Texas.

New England being the count. Don't come sniffling from me.

Two days work? What's the big idea?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry fellas accidentally hit it with my elbow.
I'll buy a new cand tomorrow. Where's the picture on
the table there? I thought it out of the food
light and looked at it. The blind was in the foreground,
blocking out the model of the Garter, but the shop
wasn't entirely worth us, since directly behind her, about to
get on the train, looking squarely into the camera was
(20:35):
Monica Weston the dead showgirl and Weather where his white
mane of flying was. You know who?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Wait a minute, you can't.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Hold it, boys, I ducked out of a circle of
light as they came in, Sheldon first and three out
as the gun in my hand made me feel better,
but not much better.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
They closed the door and the room was pitch dark
again except for the spot of light the senate. Okay, okay, Spade,
where is it? I know you're in that space? You
a little light?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Shallon? We sent up the headquarters.
Speaker 2 (21:11):

had a negative you know, nailed them her arm like postcard.
I'm not worried about the others.

Speaker 4 (21:26):

girl at the station? Do you mean why didn't she

up a partnership with a dead show girl's brother, and
he put the squeeze on Uncle Mike in forcing to
come across.
