he's in?

Oh, yes, he's a salesman.

How did you meet him?

He used to come in to the restaurant

where I worked.

How long did you know him

before you were married?

Four months.

And how many times during these

four months did you actually see him?

Three times.

You mean you only saw this man 3 times

then married him?

Yes.

Do you have a photo?

No.

Can you describe him?

Oh, yes, he's 34 and...

about six feet tall, dark hair

and dark eyes.

Any distinguishing marks such as scars,

moles, birthmarks?

I don't know, I don't think so.

How was he dressed

the last time you saw him?

He was wearing a dark suit with a white shirt

and sort of a dark tie.

Anything else you can tell me?

You will find him, won't you?

We'll do our best. But you've practically

married a stranger.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Do you want me to turn this over

to the Missing Persons Bureau?

I'll handle it.

You?

The telegram was sent from Philadelphia.

The night of the Convention murder.

You think maybe...

I don't think anything.

Check Western Union, Philadelphia.

Excuse me.

You can go, Fred.

Hm?

Go on, go ahead, you don't have

to stay here with me.

I have no place to go.

I know you better.

This is like old times back in Grantsville.

I don't know what I'm gonna do, Fred.

I can't go back to Grantsville.

You don't have to, Millie.

New York's a big place.

I can't stay here.

I'd be looking for him every place I go.

The places are all alike, Millie.

You can't run away from yourself.

Hello?

Oh, Paul.

Oh, darling, it's so good to hear

your voice.

Where are you? What's happened?

Oh, come right over, darling, right away.

But why?

Why?

Tomorrow, but...

I'll come to you, darling, tell me where,

please, please, Paul.

Corner of 7th and Bleeker.

I'm leaving right away.

Bye, darling.

Why didn't he come here?

I don't know, I don't care.

Seventh and Bleeker isn't a very

healthy neighborhood.

I better come along.

No, thanks, Fred.

Oh, Fred.

I couldn't let you come alone.

He's in there.

In there.

He's gone.

Who's gone?

It's a different man.

You sure you saw him?

He was sitting right in that chair.

Come on, we'll get a cab.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, Mr. Graham, if you're looking fo

Mrs. Baxter, she just checked out.

That's right, just about five minutes ago.

Did she leave any forwarding address?

No.

Did anyone come for her?

No. There was a telephone call though

just a few minutes before she checked out.

Thanks.

Hello, Millie.

Paul!

Oh, Paul.

Getting lonely, Millie?

Oh, Paul, Paul, darling.

I've been so worried, so upset.

Why didn't you meet me last night?

Now, now, baby.

There's nothing to be worried
