expense account item one thirty five dollars trip from hartford to the scene of of the Richard's Blaine matter.

Expense account item one, $35 trip from Hartford to the scene of the crime. A part of Manhattan where the citizens have been conditioned to sleeping through screams, gunshot, and even the odors.

I was met by a homicide sergeant, and the tenement flat he took me to lived up to its first description.

It did bear all the signs of murder except a body.

Well, it must have taken a long time to accomplish all this.

The place rented in the name of Richard's plane.

Yeah, what's the address on his insurance policy?

The number on 2nd Avenue.

How did the report read on this so far, Sergeant?

You can see everything we saw.

From the amount of busted furniture, a violent struggle.

From the amount in placement of bloodstains,

a sustained beating of someone there by the radiator.
