Wellington Butterfield was a songwriter who wrote tone poems with one finger. using both hands he was capable of writing even more impressive ditties. The question was Wellington Butterfield capable of murder. It began without benefit of overture in the office of my boss Anthony J. Lyon won beaming Monday.

Anthony J was on the phone when I walked in. Look on his face said easy credit terms, no money down. No, no you won't have to worry about it saying, nothing saying. It just said tight now said one of my men right out.

Yes, well thank you Mr. Butterfield. Good day. Good morning, Jeffrey. You're client. Yes, indeed, Jeffrey. The lion detective agency is on its toes as usual. Nothing like an efficient organization, I always say. You'll send one of your men out? I heard that part of it.

Well now, Jeffrey, there might be other men working for me. If business picks up the way it has been, well, I may have to increase the self. Have a secretary maybe? Jeffrey! What a delightful idea!

A thoroughly delightful idea! But first we have to pick up the extra business. You busy? Oh yes, Mr Butterfield! I almost forgot! You better run right out there Jeffrey! His office is in the Johnson Building Hollywood!

Yeah, the secretary. Lion, Mr Butterfield, happened to mention why he wanted a private detective. He blinds over there. That's so cut it off. Hmm? Huh? Oh yes, Mr Butterfield. Oh yes, he did say something about a small redhead.
