A Night for Crime Page #3

---

Might pick up something on which to

hinge my investigation I told you chief

it's an open-and-shut case.

Shh Ellen Smith that's me thank you

take a look at this why yes I absolutely

Smith before what mr. Hot means is that.

Ellen Smith was a guest at Mona.

Harrison's dinner party last night

of course we didn't have anything to eat

or drink but we all had a splendid

opportunity to tell Mona exactly what we

thought of her I knew it the minute I

saw you and him they were in the room

with the body chief what do you mean in

it we put it there who else was at this

party follow all of us here and Ellen

Smith and Mona of course anybody else.

Ramona servants tell me service she had

three a chauffeur a maid and a cook

that's the last I've seen of Mona the

last resolved Ellen Smith until this

evening and today Ellen Smith is

murdered and Lauren Harrison disappears

that gives the case an entirely

different complexion it's just like I

figure it Keith I know open-and-shut

case

just another robbery I think we'd all

better meet miss Harrison's apartment an

hour from now maybe we can find out what

happened last night I'm dead tired go

home and take a shower and change my

clothes think I'll try that too let's

meet at lineman's for some coffee before

we start this Inquisition mr. Hart will

you and Carole meet us there I'd love to

we'll be there Hey

to round up all of his Harrison servants

o'clock

Everyone is here but Hoffman oh he's

probably out rounding up Clues on a

great train robbery Harmon well here I

am cheap right on the dot just like you

said sit down

what's your name.

Alice Jones so I'm the cook at least I

was the cook what do you mean by that

when I handed in my resignation just

before dinner

last night were you in the habit of

resigning before each meal Alice no sir

I work for the same family for 15 years

well suppose you tell us in your own

words just what happened welcome me and

my niece Louise your niece this time

she's my only living kin we've been used

to working for quality folks real hard

tone people wearing custom I haven't

folks talked to us like we just pray my

hand didn't like what she did to me what

was that Louise yeah I was helping miss

Harrison to dress for dinner last night

and I'm married the dude that looked

better with a gown she was wearing then

the huge he held yes my guess she must

have been on edge I'll say she's on the

edge of a breakdown seems like to me

she's always that way Alice your

newspaper articles didn't help miss
