Oh, yes, missus Caldwell.

I'm the investigator.

Your insurance company is hired to look for your son, Yessa list How is this?

When did you learn this?

I don't have to learn.

It's one of those things.

Of mother for you.

My son was a part.

Of me, and when he died, what did I see?

Well?

And Insurance company is bound to operate from a basis of facts, not intuition.

Edmund O'Brien and another adventure of the man with the action packed Expensive America is fabulous.

Freelance insurance investigator.

Yours truly, Johnny dalla.

Expense Accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Daller to Home Office, Britannia Life Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of my expenditure during investigation of the Howard Caldwell matters.

Expense count Item one six transportation round trip between my Heartford apartment and the Colwell Country estate from every angle inside and out the place looked more like a museum than a dwelling, and missus Caldwell struck me as the mother of all the answers as to why boys leave home.

I don't know why Howard left.

I simply can't understand it.

No mother could have been more devoted than I.

Except for school.

I never left him alone for a moment.

I made him share everything with me.

I protected him, and I advised him.

And yes, let's get these facts in order.

Name Hard age twenty three, left here for San Francisco, California, about a year ago.

What was he doing in San Francisco?

Oh, he was studying to be an artist in a rather deceitful way.

He knew I didn't approve.

He told me you wanted to go to the coast to see a football game.

Then he wired me that it had been delayed.

And the next thing I knew, this letter arrived saying that he'd met some people out there, that he didn't need any money, and that he didn't roll in this art school.

I didn't believe it.

I knew he was in trouble.

Then what's the name of the school?

The Orlando School about I wrote and begged him to come back.

And he answered that he thought it would be better if he didn't, as if he were being threatened.

Why would anybody threaten him?

Well, I don't know.

He told me very little of what he was doing.

That's why I knew he was in trouble because we always shared everything.

He'd never kept secrets from me.

I think you're exaggerating this thing.

This is god.

You haven't told me any one thing that I should.

I think when he writes that I'll never see him again, when he tells me not to go to the police because it won't do any good, but he's.

Gone to another life.

Here, here's a letter.

Read it for yourself.

The letter did say that the day on it was a week old, and I went on to make other vague references to danger and death.

But a statement that another had ignored came to my mind closest to the truth.

Howard Colwell had written, if I had been mentally equipped for life as other people are, this wouldn't have happened, and I could have lived.

Insurance company's office.

John Dollar in Oh, yes it's Dollar, Yes, Well Dollar, that was a quick trip.

What do you think of missus Caldwell?

Well, that's not a here of there howctually happened at Tenny You.

Her lawyer advisor to we carry a big policy on the south.

The lawyer told her that putting the problem at all, that's the best way to do it.

And there was something about a letter adviser not.

To go to the police.

Yeah, I read it.

Well, we or.

Dearly don't do with this sort of thing, as you know, But it's a matter of two hundred thousand dollars.

Did it sound like suicide to you?

And it sounded vague.

He's been writing his mother a lot.

Of double talk that she's been interpreting in her own motherly way.

He was supposed to come home this summer and didn't.

I don't know what to make of it.

Do you want to find out anything?

You won't get it from her?

Could you go into San Francisco?

Oh?

Sure, but let's not share this with missus c.

She probably beat me out there.

The apartment house manager was in and we're obliged.

He hasn't been here for a week and a half.

I've been taking his mail up to his apartment, but box gets so full they can't get any more.

In the apartment is still in his name.

He paid up three months in advance.

Do you mind if I look at all them?

And I suppose it's all right?

If you were trying to help us, it's up to here.

It's the call.

Has anything to you about leaving?

No, he didn't, And I hope there isn't any trouble.

But you'd think he'd come for some of his clothes if there wasn't, wouldn't they're still here.

I couldn't help noticing, after he'd been gone so long, A lot of word.

Sure, yeah, this is it, twenty two.

After you thanks, there's all his mail on the table.

I hope everything's all right.

Nice likable young man.

Now.

Any of his friends, Well, no, I don't expect he had some.

Though he was out at night lots.

He never came home drunk or anything.

If you don't mind, I I think I'll run through the place.

I won't be long.

I suppose it's all right as long as i'm here after I've finished.

I knew very little about Howard Callwell that I hadn't already known.

The letters on the table were as to be expected, all from his mother.

A drawer and a bedside table gave me something too odd to be ignored.

Twenty five or thirty match folders.

All from bars or restaurants, all empty of matches, and each marked in pencil with a dight.

The earliest May fourth, nineteen fifty, the most recent September twelfth.

A closet gave me a portfolio of sketches from various pspecstims.

And they looked like a brunette.

Nothing else in the place seemed to point in any direction, so I copied the addresses on the match folders and helped myself the three of the most descriptive sketches expense of car adem four dollar and thirty cents cad Fair.

Of the Orlando School of Art.

How I'm Ditrice, Orlando.

Did you wish to see me?

Yes, I'm a private investigator from Hartford, Connecticut.

I'm here trying to locate a student of yours.

Howard called, well, that's right, you're fast.

Not at all.

I take a personal interest in my students.

It was so strange the way he just stopped coming to class.

He was doing so nicely and seemed to enjoy his work.

Is he trouble?

I don't know.

I wonder if you could tell me which of his classmates were personal friends of his.

I don't think any of them were.

M Yeah, these, Yes, that's Howard's work.

Excellent.

Don't you think the models?

You must be a gorgeous girl.

Isn't she one of your models?

I only wish she were remarkable?

The lines and plane?

Do you think she's real?

Drawn from life?

Of course?

I wonder you didn't bother to make friends here?

The expense account adam five forty five dollars see inclosed bartimes Bad night.

I started making the rounds of the addresses I'd copied from Howard Colwell's collection of dated match folders.

They led me from San Francisco's North Beach section to another area called the Mission, across the bit of the city of Oakland.

And back to San Francisco.

The only pattern I could set up was that none of the joints were worth remembering.

They were neighborhood bars as a rule, and the routine in each was about the same, except.

That the one called the stop sign.

There's a drink, all right, mister, Yeah, it's fine, say, I wonder if you could help me.

How I'm looking for an old friend of mine.

I understand he used to commender this fire.

Yeah, here's a photograph of names Howard.

No, no, I don't remember him.

I got a mind for faces too.

And then look at this.

It's it's only a sketch.

Have you ever seen a girl who looks like this?

This is a gag?

No, it isn't makes you think it would be.

I mean, this is a drawn of a real day, right, and for Tella twenty bucks extra, I can.

Have the genuine photograph to hang up behind my get out of here.

Wait a minute.

If somebody try to sell you a deal like.

That, you're the first, and I can tell you won't go over this time.

I'm not trying to act anything, and.

Go someplace else and don't try.

I never saw the guy all the day, and I don't expect the good night.

Hey, I love me.

See a picture will you die and I can scribe him.

Oh wait a minute, I mean I don't know who she is, should you?

Because I know everybody that comes to the spar If her boyfriend's name is Howard, I bet I know him.

That's what I said it was.

Did you say it was called Well?

Where can we talk?

Come on?

That's right?

You know where Coldwell is?

Yes, sucker, I know where he is.

Keep it quiet, Hey, we'll both keep it quiet.

Huh.

I'll take this out of your ribs.

Up to the corner of them and across the street.

Now cross that parking.

Run the yellow club, coup that don't bother, memorizing the license number, exponing.

Here he is.

Oh ay, I'm fine, thanks for asking.

We could drive out towards the beach, JV.

What do you think it's better than here?

And swing over the book and take that out?

How'd you get the addresses of these bars?

How did you find out about me?

We've been waiting for somebody to show up.

He's been watching his apartment.

We so you go in him and tells you about school.

He's Coldwell alive, Yeah, but he won't stay that way.

If people stop crying, why not who hired you?

I'm a private investigator.

I'm not supposed to tell people.

Things like that.

We aren't getting any place.

Now.

Look from where you sit, how is it going to hurt you to tell us you're looking for the old lady.

They carry the policy.

I want I got one thing to say, though I stopped looking for him.

Things the way they are.

I'm giving you the best advice anybody could drop it.

Can't do it.

I'm stuck.

You ought to understand that it's my business.

I give up on one job, I'll never get another.

And the Early Examiner?

Yes, I think the golf shops gentlely, A couple.

Of cigarettes later, room service arrived.

The headline read, syndicate head found slain an auto trunk.

Benjamin Miller, Western gang chiefs shot to dead.

I didn't see how there could be any connection between a dead mobster and the Howard Caldwell matter, but that only proves how wrong an investigator can be.

The preceding night who chief had been shot at at.

Approximately a week before.

It was feared that none of the World War would.

Be touched off by the killing.

Since Eastern operators allegedly had threatened the horse Miller out of business on the West Coast, the police had decided to play a waiting game, no lead and all that.

But on page four there was a picture Ben Miller in happier days.

At his side stood a brunette that matched the one in Caldwell's sketches.

Point for point Laura Rush with an address on Oddmore Street in Los Angeles.

Yes, sir, is this hotel her the travel agency?

It's only sixer and they haven't open.

I arrived there at nine fifteen.

She was still in a robe when she answered the door, with a trace of makeup, which was all she needed for her face, and the soft hairdoo made me wonder if she was expecting me.

There's pertain me, no reason to be anything the truth.

Yes, I didn't expect you.

Thanks, come in here.

You have good friends in San Francisco, Yes, I have very good friends.

Just put your coat anyplace, Thank you, and.

Then I take it.

They've told you why I'm on the West coast.

Yes, it's going to look for Howard Kold's coffee.

Would you like some?

No?

Thanks, I had plenty.

Do you know where he is?

No?

No, I don't so I don't know where he is.

I don't know.

Oh come on now stop then.

Why did you.

That was the end of the test run.

I rattled around the rest of the place for almost an hour while I waited for her to come out of the bedroom.

I didn't feel like snooping, but I couldn't help seeing a framed photograph that had been hastily.

Hidden under a mat on the piano.

Was young, coldwell, but not.

The subdued, dead faced kid in the picture i'd gotten at as Connecticut estate.

Instead, a guy with some enthusiasm in his friendly eyes.

He was in the kitchen drinking the coffee when she came out.

What are you doing waiting for you?

Well?

If I did, somebody else just liked me would show up.

Maybe he'd make you unhappier than I do.

That kind of a racket.

I sympathize with you.

You should you put me on the defensive.

I had noticed.

How did I do that?

You started by posing for some sketches.

You're stronger in person.

You saw them?

Yeah, there is a hotel room in San Francisco, or at least that's where I left them.

Who saw them?

A few bartenders and his art teachers.

Little fool told me he destroyed them.

You say bartenders.

Yeah.

He had a match folder collection, all dated from a series of nondescript hideaway type fish.

How could he have been so stupid?

Could he have been in love?

Well?

He didn't.

Out of his mind.

He lied to me.

He told me there was nothing to link us together.

What's the difference if there is?

Because because Howard killed Ben Miller and nobody will believe it?

Now, why won't they believe it?

It was my gun registered?

Yes, where is it?

Howard?

Is it hidden?

I loved him and all that, But the two stories.

I have got to believe.

You haven't told me.

I will, I will, mister T.

I have to.

How did you meet Corbo?

I was going with Ben Miller, not because I thought anything about him, but he was so powerful out here and I just come in Chicago.

Well, it was one of those parties.

Some of the models from the Orlando school were invited us just to fill out.

It was hard school, and one of the girls had talked to him into coming.

That's when we met.

There was something about it.

I don't know.

This was in May I take him, I think so spring.

Anyway, he was supposed to go home for the summer and didn't.

I'd meet him in these bars and he'd come to my place when Ben was out of town.

He wanted to sketch me so, but it's not important.

Ben saw me meet him and followed us to my apartment.

This was at your place.

You had an apartment in San Francisco.

Ben hit me, and Howard went for the gun and killed him.

He knew where you kept the gun?

Is why?

How did they know?

In casey, I haven't needed no.

Body was found stuffed into the trunk of the car.

You don't believe it, do you?

Well?

There are little things like how did they manage to get the body into the trunk of that car?

And how did he manage to steal the car?

I'll tell you he had help.

Everybody knew that combination from the east is moving in unbend element.

They had so they've been trying to help Howard and it was all right.

You came out here.

Oh that's a pretty good setup.

Ben Miller would be checked off as they hang killing the kind they so seldom get around the solving.

When it cooled off, you could take up where you dropped him.

I didn't kill him.

Apploral you you're all in it, but I can't quite figure it.

What why those two friends of yours who picked me up last night.

Let's go to bat for a worthless Eastern aristocrat.

You want to help him?

Why well, because he is my friend.

Far should anybody take a wrap for killing a man like Ben Miller.

You don't want him to die for it, do you do?

You couse not?

We're trying to help him.

What are you going to do?

Well?

The Frisco police are combing the city.

If the leads on the scene of the murder, the murder weapon, and that definitely between dead man and killer.

I seem to be sitting on all three.

You aren't going to the police.

It depends on how fast you tell me where Coldwell is.

I want to hear his version of this.

I don't know where he is.

I told you that.

Yeah, I know you Wait wait, please.

Stop me.

I know what you think of me, and I know you don't believe me, but I wish you would just for a little while.

How long an ho or so.

My brothers are flying down, you'll be here by.

Others.

Men you met last night.

I wish before you do anything, you won't be honest.

I wish you had hit me over the head with something.

That's a funny thing to say.

What I mean is that that kind of trouble makes me mad enough to fight business again.

Gorgeous?

Sorry, oh right, go ahead and stop suck.

I mean, where's the other one?

He stayed first of Sorry, I couldn't get here.

Fresht you all right?

I'm all right though.

Tell him how it happened, she told me, and we made a deal.

I wouldn't phone the police until I talked to you.

Still stands.

Can I get you anything else?

Yeah?

He drink would help look Dollar.

For some reason, my sister fell for this kid.

I guess it was the first time in her life with something decent came along for He wanted to marry her, and it fell to pieces when Coldwell lost.

His head and shot them.

What really happened now, Dan.

Made a lot of threats and stirred up all the mudd in Norah's life.

She tried to stop him.

He slugged her, and that was it.

Were you there?

No, I wasn't, but that's what happened.

Leave it alone.

Dollar Ben had the thing around him anyway.

Why not let it cool off?

There are a number of reasons.

Unfortunately, I'm hurting down with a vague but heavy thing called ethics, says on my license.

Another thing that I forget it that makes me an accessory to the killing.

The most important at the moment is the fact that I'm not sure that.

Coldwell is guilty.

Keep coming.

It would make more sense if you were protecting your sister instead of that punk.

Would you agree?

Isn't that why all of it have been working so hard to keep me away from Coldwell?

Because you don't want me to hear his pitch.

Okay, I'll take you to him.

He's here in Los Angeles.

Call the drinks.

I'm giving ground dollars.

What do I get from you?

You've already gotten it.

I didn't call the police.

Somebody is going to blow your head off one of these times.

Dollars is a kind of garage, honey, This is it upstairs?

Try a come down for a scion type.

And that's a good spot for him.

You could live in this part of town for one hundred years.

Nobody would know who you were, what you were, unless you wanted them to leup the front here.

Howard Howard, it's Al Howard Howard.

What about it?

Al?

What's this?

Who told him out to leave?

No clothes?

There's an empty room as that's where he was you check downstairs.

He was the same the name Harris.

Say that al, there's only one place.

We'll call it an honors.

I'll try the rest of this without you.

You've got nothing but a mouse for the lies.

I don't want any more.

To come on, get out the right way.

Caldwell here, he's been your own money right after you didn't hit up.

He's like a grief.

Where is he?

You stay here?

My first side of the all important Howard Caldwell was not a pleasant world.

He was faced down on the bed, his head buried in the pillow and his body shaking with sobs.

It's a thirty minutes of treatment, some of it not too gentle.

They got him into a chair and a reasonably saying state, I'm glad you came.

I'm glad you found me.

I'm glad to talk to somebody who is stupid.

I want you to calm down, Howard and tell me what happened.

What happened?

H lo hair I do too.

She didn't want to marry me, She wanted to marry my respectable name money.

Who killed Ben Miller?

I didn't.

I killed him because I didn't know what else to do, because I'd lived with these people, these low classed people, and I began to think like them, because I've never thought for myself all my life, I've done anything before anything.

I killed Dan Miller, and it's the only thing I've ever done all by myself.

Why did you risk all this to protect him?

I don't know, because it was something that drew us together.

He was lost and so was I, and I figured it was my fault.

I'd drawn him into my life.

He hadn't drawn me into his.

I thought I owed it to him.

But he's a snaw, isn't he.

Yeah, yeah, I'm afraid so he called.

Me a tramp.

Thought.

I guess when you take a die like him who wants to get away from his kind of life, Hannah Danane.

Like me, who wants to get away from her kind, neither one can figure it off.

What can you accept the trouble?

I guess she's summed it up as well as anybody could.

I turned him in for murder, and those who try to help them as accessories.

It's for the legal brains to decide whether the policyholder will live or be executed.
