06 Double Death aka Knifing o

He said quarters. I'll connect to the homicide. What's that detail, Fergenberg? This is the residence of Mr. Jake Emillard. I'm making millers, but I'm speaking. Mr. Miller had just been found dead there. What's your name?

John Prandis there. Who found him? I did, sir. I was just taking him his breakfast. Anyone else in the house? No, sir. All right. Just leave everything like it isn't till we get there. Yes, sir.

Yes, Sergeant? Dr. Wade, in his office? I think so, Sergeant. Good. Have him get his tool chest and meet me at the front door. Yes, sir. What's up? Plenty. Somebody just bumped Jake Miller. I had to watch out for early, Doc, but I don't commit these early morning murders.

I just follow them up. That's all right, Sergeant. I think I'll enjoy a little motor trip into the country. Who's the victim? A retard gangster with a name of Millard. Jake Millard. I seem to remember that name in the papers.

What tired you say? Well, yes and no. You see, Jake used to be associated with Pete Johnigan. The racketeer who controls the trucking and shipping business on the East Side. I remember him. Yeah. Well, Johnigan's racket is protecting the trucking people from his own mob.

to get what I mean. Miller had split with him and went into the protection business from the other angle. He was protecting the truckers from John again tomorrow but a much lower figure. I see a sort of a double double cross, eh, Sergeant?

Yeah. Now it seems somebody sought a triple cross, Jake Miller, by bumping them off. And good riddance, if you ask me. That's what I say, Doc, but the old man don't see it that way. Whenever a gangster is rubbed out, we're supposed to work just as hard to get his murderer as we would if he was a banker
