Murder by Error

William Gargon stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator. Distemper is a human failing, but don't ever try blowing the lid of your coffin. You'll only frustrate yourself. A national broadcasting company presents William Gargon, in another transcribed drama of mystery and adventure, with America's number one detective, Barry Craig, confidential investigator.

Barry Craig speaking, a long-legged blonde on follows you to the ends of the earth. Don't always feel flattered, friend. She might only be tailing you. Such was my case on the public streets, one sultry summer evening.

A dowel panting at me, but keeping a discreet 50 or so yards between us. I got a look at her face without turning around. Owl, a gimmick, standard with cups, a pocket mirror held in front of me.

My pursuer was good looking with twin dimples and her cheeks, and an aristocratic hook to her eyebrows. I let her follow me into a cocktail lounge. Inside I watched a fidget at the far end of the mahogany bar for a couple of minutes.

When the sweat began to spoil her makeup, I joined her. Hello. Look. You're wrong, if you're wrong. If I confuse you with a pickup, I don't. Well, then. Cry wolf, if I'm wrong, but I get the impression we've been inseparable for hours.

Inseppable. I left my office at 345. I've been east, north, south, and west. And now it's 5.15. And all that time, the shadow-wise rule was you. Well... Now you're right. I'm sorry I couldn't help but follow you.

I'm your dream man. I meant nothing personal. Oh, that deflates me. If I can explain... Do. At 3.45 outside your office building, I didn't dare come up. Why not? I discovered that I myself was being followed.
