Calling Dr. Death Page #4

---

Maria was so beautiful.

You robbed her of her life.

You knew my wife?

Now, Doctor,

how would I know your wife?

I'm sorry,

but he's busy.

You'll have to

make an appointment.

I've got to see him.

I'll call you when he's free.

Please.

If you give me your number,

Mrs. Duval, perhaps tomorrow.

Never mind.

What is it, Miss Madden?

Are you Dr. Steele?

This is Mrs. Duval,

Doctor.

I told her you were busy,

that I'd make an appointment.

Doctor,

I've got to see you.

Why, of course.

Now, Mrs. Duval.

Dr. Steele, I had to talk

to you. There was...

That'll be all, Miss Madden.

I'll ring if I need you.

Doctor, you've got

to help my husband.

He told me

he talked to you.

He isn't guilty.

I know he isn't.

I swear it.

I had to talk to someone.

I'm alone. You don't

know what it means to...

Go on now.

Tell me all about yourself.

We'd been married

happily 10 years.

Then he came to me one day and

told me he didn't love me anymore.

There was a woman. He

wouldn't tell me who she was.

He wanted to marry her.

I couldn't give him up, Dr.

Steele. I thought he'd get over it.

He didn't.

He started out of the house,

I ran after him.

When I got to the head

of the stairs, I stumbled.

When I woke up, I was in

the hospital, paralyzed.

I've been this way

for a year now.

Bob and I were miserable.

Saturday,

we talked things over.

He told me

he was going to the woman.

Dr. Willard, my physician, had told me

the day before I wouldn't walk again.

I didn't want to ruin

Bob's life,

having to wheel me

around like a baby.

So I told him

he could do as he pleased.

Then he came over

and kissed me

for the first time

in a long while.

He left and...

The next thing I knew,

he'd been accused of murder.

Oh, Dr. Steele,

you've got to help us.

When this is all over, we'll be

happy again. Just the two of us.

Oh, I know I'm not as

beautiful as your wife, but...

Mrs. Duval, I understand

what you've been through.

And I promise that I'll do

everything in my power to help you.

Dr. Steele, you don't know

what he means to me.

He's all I've got.

I know. You have my word.

Thank you, Dr. Steele.

I'll call you

in a day or two.

Miss Madden.

It was a pure case

of circumstantial evidence.

Duval didn't have a chance.

There are only two of us.

I'm certain he's innocent.

That leaves me the guilty one.

Not murder.

You haven't the courage.

I didn't kill Maria.

Not murder.

I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria.

Not murder.

I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria.

Stop it! Stop it!

What's the matter, Doctor?

Nerves or conscience?

What are you doing here?

Oh, I had a hunch.
