Alias Jesse James Page #3

I suggest that this be counted

and turned over to the auditor at once.

Here's the policy, if you'd

like to look it over, sir.

Why certainly, sir.

I mean, Milford.

Yeah, let's see now.

"Mr. TJ James, beneficiary

Miss Cora Lee Collins,"

"in the amount of"

"$100,000."

Well, who is this

Mr. TJ James, my boy?

He's quite an operator.

But what are his sources of income?

Well, naturally I didn't

pry into any details.

Naturally.

But I gathered from him

that he's well known in

railroad and banking circles.

Well, this is too big to fool with.

Better set up an appointment

for his physical.

I'm afraid it's too late for that.

Mr. James left last night

on the train.

But I had Doc Bishop

rush him through right away.

Here's the medical.

I promised you'd send him a box of cigars.

Send them?

I'll take them over myself.

Here's the morning paper,

Mr. Quesely.

Miss Raskin, how many times have I told you

not to interrupt me in conference?

And never, never

when I'm with our

star salesman, Mr. Farnsworth.

Just a minute, Miss Raskin.

How much have you been

drawing a week, Milford?

$7.50.

Raise that to $10.

And do you have the $25 bonus

that I told you to draw for

Milford this morning? Good.

See that he gets it right away.

Now, Farnsy, my boy,

I am going to carry the ball

from here on in.

You take the rest of the day off.

But it's a working day.

It's a day to celebrate.

Go on to the beach. Take a

ride on the new elevated.

You've earned it. Go on.

Get out of here. Scat.

Farnsworth! Farnsworth!

Another bonus?

Farnsworth.

Funny, I have a feeling

I've seen that face before.

Farnsworth, is that or is that not

the man to whom you sold a

$100,000 life insurance policy?

I told you,

I thought his face was familiar.

Anything happens to that man,

this company is ruined.

Funny thing, not once

during the whole evening

did he mention that he

was a notorious killer.

Will you shut up?

Farnsworth, you're gonna take

the next train west.

What?

You're going to return this money to James

and make him give up that policy.

Me, make him?

And if James refuses to return that policy,

you are to remain by his side forever,

to protect our interest.

You are to ride with him,

eat with him, sleep with him.

At the slightest sign of danger,

you are to lay down your life

to protect his.

Go.

But, Mr. Quesely,

I'm liable to get killed.

Stop trying to cheer me up.

And I knew the minute I saw you

that you were responsible gentlemen,

men who are keenly aware

of your financial obligations

to your family and estate.

Now, no other policy

can give you the protection

that this one can.

And you don't have to worry about the cost.
