Charlie Chan at the Olympics Page #3

Yes, it would be.

But I'll soon find out.

I'll check every man

that was on the field at the time.

- Would you like to question them yourself, Mr. Chan?

- Not necessary.

May examine time cards, please?

Certainly.

I'm at a loss to understand this.

All our mechanics are brought here from the

Mainland. They're old and trusted employees.

Were they all here

on the morning of the test?

[Hopkins] No, only the ground crew.

The installation was complete...

...and I gave the shop force

the day off.

Most strange.

- What is it, Charlie?

- Note.

Stamp of Monday night

on time cards, light ink.

But stamp ofTuesday

morning in heavy ink.

Well, there's nothing

strange about that.

The timekeeper must've

changed the ribbon.

Quite correct. But notice

peculiar circumstance.

Here is card of one man

who finish work on Monday night...

...yet stamped with heavy ink

ofTuesday.

So it is. That proves this fellow stamped his

card Tuesday, or somebody did it for him.

Also could establish alibi for man

who remain on field Monday night...

...to conceal self in test plane.

- Whose card is that?

- Name:
Miller.

Address:
Tropic Hotel.

You're sure Miller didn't

sleep here Monday night?

I know he didn't.

But he was here Tuesday...

...and that's the last

I've heard from him.

Disturb nothing, please.

Mr. Miller have lady

visitor Tuesday evening?

I should say not! I don't stand

for carrying-on in my house.

Very commendable precaution.

But observe.

Hairs from white fox fur...

...indicate fashionable

lady visitor sit here...

...while talking

with someone opposite.

Well, no woman came in here

without me knowing it.

Evident bird of fine plumage

escape sharp eye of eagle.

You say you saw Miller

on Tuesday night?

Didn't say I saw him,

but I know he was in.

I put a telephone call through for him

to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel about 8:00.

- Who was call to?

- I don't listen in on my guests' telephone conversations.

Unfortunate not to break

rule on this occasion.

Anyone connected with the aviation

company live at the Royal Hawaiian?

I do, Cartwright does,

and so does Masters.

Masters? Isn't that the pilot

who was supposed to fly the test?

Yes.

Presence of wine glasses...

...suggest hospitality offered

to lady of white fox fur.

But not used.

And no wine visible.

I don't allow drinking either.

Excellent reason

to conceal forbidden fruit.

Perhaps in closet.

- [Screams]

- Miller!

Unfortunately dead.

And that telephone call

to the Royal Hawaiian...

...involves either Hopkins,

Cartwright or Masters.

What about the gal-

the one with the white fox fur?

One more crack, and very bright

junior son walk home.
