The Killer That Stalked New York Page #5

Synopsis: Sheila Bennett returns to New York from Cuba, carrying $40,000 worth of smuggled diamonds...and smallpox, which could start a devastating epidemic in the unprotected city. Treasury agent Johnson loses her but keeps doggedly on the trail; while Public Health doctor Wood searches in vain for the unknown person spreading the deadly disease far and wide. Meanwhile, the increasingly ill Sheila is only concerned with her faithless husband Matt, who plans to abscond with the diamonds...

- You can use it as a... Sure.

Not now. Tomorrow.

The fellow who sells the most this month

gets a gold button.

- That you, Matt?

- Yeah.

Did it come?

- No.

- Tomorrow, Matt.

Sure, honey, tomorrow.

Now, don't get up. You just rest there.

- I'm going out for a while.

- I'm not very good company.

No complaints.

Don't forget your medicine.

We'd appreciate your calling us

if anything like that comes along.

- I certainly will, sir.

- Thank you.

- Who's that?

- Treasury Department.

Here, read all about it.

It's Sheila's description.

Suckers.

Don't bother taking them out, Matt.

You're gonna have to wait.

- Why?

- Those stones are too hot.

Give them a chance

to cool a couple of weeks.

- But he's already been here.

- He can come back.

You put me in a spot, Moss.

I've already made arrangements to leave.

Forget it. For at least 10 days.

All right. Ten days.

Don't tell me. Let me guess.

You know, the Chinese tell us that

one picture is worth ten thousand words.

If we had one of Sheila Bennet,

we could circulate it, maybe get some help.

Well, she was a singer. She must have

had some pictures taken professionally.

Well, let's see if we can't dig one up.

It's a cinch she didn't have it taken here.

Hey, fellas, look! They're vaccinating

everybody in the building.

- What's that?

- They make with the needle.

They're up at Kowalski's now.

- Look, don't even show.

- Mary, the stew is burning.

You say Walda's uncle took her out

a couple of weeks ago.

- Yes.

- Remember where they went?

To the circus.

You see, they ain't got no kids of their own.

Why are you asking so many questions

about Walda?

- Something's happened to her.

- She'll be all right, Mrs. Kowalski.

- I'm going down to see her.

- It's not allowed at Willard Parker Hospital.

- But...

- Come now, Katie.

Ain't you the one always saying

how you trust Dr. Wood?

Doctor, we still have two floors to go

on this building.

I was surprised to hear that she's sick.

She was healthy-looking like a baby-oil ad

the day I took her to the circus.

- Where was this circus?

- Up in the Bronx.

- Where in the Bronx?

- Brooks Avenue near Crotona Park.

Check on that

and take a vaccination team along.

- Right.

- It ain't there now.

- It was one of them traveling circuses.

- Well, what was it called?

Can't remember.

But I'm sure it wasn't Barnum and Bailey.

I don't want to be vaccinated.

You're a big girl now.

Well, there now. That didn't hurt, did it?

No.

- Anybody sick at your house?

- Only my mother.

- What's the matter with her?

- She just came home from the hospital.

From having an operation. She has a baby!

Thanks.

Here's my report on the rest
