1948-xx-xx (011) Suicide or Murder

Box 13 with the star of Paramount Pictures, Alan Ladd as Dan Holiday. Box 13, Cara Star Times. They said my son was killed in a drunken brawl. I know he wasn't. He was a good boy. He was murdered.

Why, I don't know. If you come to 733, win your every year. If you'll come to 733, win ship avenue anytime and listen to my story, I'll be grateful to you forever. Mrs. Katharine Daley. And that was the letter to Box 13.

Just a few lines. A brother what those few lines led to. And now back to Box 13. I get some funny letters through Box 13. Some don't mean a thing. Others are from people who answer all the ads.

But this one from Mrs. Katharine Daly, it had a real ring to it. I get so I can spot the letters from Cranks and Curiosity on this. They're full of big phrases. It's the simple ones that count like Susie said.

Well, it's short, Mr. Holiday. Uh-huh. What are you going to do about it? Well, what would you do, Susie? Mm, well. You know, Susie, I don't know how you managed to get right to the point of things so quickly.

Oh, it's easy. OK, you talk me into it. I don't know what I'd do without you. I try to make myself indispensable. The word Susie is indispensable. What's the difference? None, I guess. All right, Susie, I'm on my way to 733 Winship Avenue.

Mrs. Catherine Bailey was a little woman, maybe about 50, 60. It was difficult to tell because gray hair was pushing hard against the brown. It was her eyes that got me. Maybe not too long ago, they'd been able to smile.
