police. This afternoon, Charlie Chanand his number one son sit in the
Dace hoom. Chan fast and benevolent, gently sympathizes with the dead boy's mother.
Has been written, Missus Dace,sorrow like bad weather in time,

person. So sorry to because ofSun's death. It wasn't your fault,
Inspector, No, you did yourjob. You couldn't say Jimmy. He
was dead, already dead, alreadyday he started running with that crowd.
He was lost. It's just aquestion of time. Heaven only knows how
I begged him and pleaded. Hewouldn't listen. The most sun thought to
(02:37):
them, what's good of you tocome here? You're very kind, the
only visitor I've had since it wasin the papers about Jimmy. Yes,
I'm a notorious Missus Dace. Theypoint at me and whisper. Great philosopher
once said, any event, nomatter how small, always produces large talk
(02:59):
may be too much for me.The looks and the whispers. No one
understands the heartbreak of the sun gonewrong. This person understands and sympathizes,
Missus Dace. You're the only oneI'm leaving San Francisco, Inspector. I've
lived here all my life, butI have to get out and be a
(03:19):
stranger. Somebody else. This inthat brain suspected such decision was the reason
for visits. Still not run away, Missus Dace. There is no escape.
Remain in city. Your friends willreturn. You will restore purity to
name in time. No, No, it's impossible. Crime and dishonored exist
(03:42):
everywhere you cannot escape, must remainand continue battle. Here that's the door
your reports. I suppose no,I'm leaving and settling everything and going away.
I have to Yes, what isit? Listens for mister James Dice
from Gregor's don't you know? Hoh? Let me speak? Coming you
(04:12):
are from mister Gregor a reference tofamous shruft in business on ground Street.
That's right, mister shruft. Oh, what a shroft pop? This is
an I owe you signed by Jimmyfor fifty dollars. He couldn't even take
his trouble with him when he died. He had to leave it for me.
All right, here's your money,I've got it. What a shroft
(04:34):
pop? Shocks is Oriental name formoney changer, a bill collector and a
small banker. Here's your fifty dollars. I suppose I keep the nest,

Ron Robins, missus day and maythis person inspect? I owe you
in hand, fie. What's thematter hing you recall this person's words?
There is no escape from crime anddishonor. Here is proof. What you
have not paid Sun's debt, MissusDace, but observe I owe you closely.
(05:18):
No signature is composed of many shortlines, as though sketched by artists.
This experienced eye recognizes signature as freehand forgery. Cally, Pop,
come quickly, please, Inspector ChenYou son dead, But you cannot escape,
Missus Dace. No one can escapecrime. You are involved in new
(05:43):
trouble. Must remain and assist thisperson in solution. Yes, Inspector Chant,
no devil wagon at one. Sonmust find messenger who collected payments.
Let us see cargging on the hill. Hurry up, Pop, eh,
hold on. I don't know ifthis new business is Pop, but I'll
(06:13):
catch that messenger for you and soundhome. Please indicate desire to overtake.
I don't think he knows what wewant. He's faking. Golly if he
isn't careful, your pop, tellme don't make that corner. He's kidding,
gosh, Lord, you want meto call an ambulance. Time for
(06:50):

Russian hill like that. Perhaps thereis dispatch case under car kind of brings
same to father. Right, what'sthis all about? Pop? Explanations will
(07:12):
follow one moment. Ah, golly, look at all that money case contains
over five hundred dollars. Also threeIOU notes, I don't understand Pop.
All signs indicate ancient confidence tricks nowin operation in San Francisco. I ever
(07:34):
heard popejcate me Unidentified criminal watches obituarycolumns, lists names and addresses of defunct
persons two weeks after death, presentsforged IOUs for payment, as they did
with Jimmy Dace exactly. Usually brieffamily too grief stricken to observe ordinary business
(07:57):
precaution. They just pay the deadman's step may money for someone, but
have they forged the signature? Extremelysimple to obtain sight of departed person's writing
from from files of telephone applications,driving licenses, quoting this et cetera,
probably through rules of posing as abusiness investigator, political organizer. And so
(08:20):
it's a smart idea. And themost vicious victimizes persons in times of greatest
tragedy must be stopped at once.How what we do? Proceed immediately to
