Charlie Chan at the Olympics Page #4

Excuse me, Pop.

Well, whoever murdered Miller stole the invention

to peddle to some foreign government.

Quite correct. But Honolulu

make very poor market.

We'll check every ship that's put

out of here since 8:00 Tuesday night.

Perhaps murderer

make more speedy exit-

...use flying ship to reach Mainland.

The Clipper left here

Wednesday at 2:
00...

...the day after

the device was stolen.

- Pan American office.

- Okay, Chief.

Here's the passenger list.

Richard Masters!

- Is that the Masters connected with Hopkins Aviation Company?

- Yes, it is.

Recall if Mr. Masters

arrive at dock alone?

No, he came in our car from

the Royal Hawaiian Hotel with a lady.

Notice only one lady

on passenger list-

Miss Yvonne Roland.

- Wear white fox fur?

- Yes, she did.

Police headquarters. It may not be too late

to check on them at the other end.

Hello. Chief Scott speaking.

Contact San Francisco Police...

...and ask for a tracer

on Richard Masters and Yvonne Roland.

Arrived on yesterday's Clipper.

Hey, Pop! White fox fur.

Now positively walk home.

There's nothing suspicious

about Masters leaving on the Clipper.

He's a member of

the American Olympic team.

He had to fly back in time to make

his boat from New York to Germany.

Well, that seems to alibi Masters.

Then the call Miller made to the

Royal Hawaiian at 8:00 Tuesday night...

...must have been to the woman.

- But 8:
00 Tuesday night Miller called me.

- What about?

His return ticket to Los Angeles.

Our workmen are leaving tomorrow. I asked

Mr. Hopkins to send the ticket to his hotel.

Quite correct. Found same

in Mr. Miller's mailbox.

Here. Look at this passenger list.

See if you recognize any of these names.

Yes, here's one. Now I know

who's guilty of these crimes.

- Who?

- Arthur Hughes.

He's a notorious filibuster

who's made a fortune selling arms...

...to revolutionists

in every part of the world.

From the time I had Cartwright's invention,

he's been after me to sell it.

If I'd known he'd

followed me to Honolulu...

I'd have suspected him at once.

Charlie, see if you can get any information

on this fellow Hughes.

Have already investigated

all passengers on Clipper.

For past two weeks, Mr. Hughes guest

at Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

[Chief]

That's funny, Mr. Hopkins.

You both have been at the same hotel,

yet you didn't know he was in Honolulu.

- Whether you believe it or not, I didn't.

- Excuse, please.

Truth, like football,

receive many kicks before reaching goal.

Wouldn't it be advisable

to trace Hughes immediately?

That's up to Mr. Scott.

We're leaving on tomorrow's Clipper...

...and I'll put the matter in the hands

of the San Francisco Police.
