looking for it to that found her body.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You seem to know just where it was.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
She just happened to be while I was looking. If
I kill her?
Speaker 13 (15:24):
You don't think I'd be fool enough to find a body,
do you, Sliam, I don't know what to think?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Well, don A few months went by and no new
evidence turned up. Then one day Slim Usury left town
and went to Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after he arrived,
Gusray walked into a costumer's shop on Commerce Street and
asked to look at a wig and mustache outfit he
saw in the window.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yes, sir, finest wig and mustache and little rock.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Hey, yeah, man, it seemed better.
