Charity Takes It on the Chin

The Green Hornet. He hunts the biggest of all game. Public enemies that even the G-men cannot reach. The Green Hornet. Charity takes it on the chin. The events and characters depicted in this drama are fictitious.

Any similarity to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental. We just published it on the newspaper. You're in a position to know a lot about people, aren't you? Well, it depends on the type of person you have in mind.

You know, people in the public eye. Frankly, Bennett, I haven't been around the central much lately. You haven't. I've been letting it run itself, so to speak. I see. Well, in that case... Perhaps I may have some information, Bennett.

Who's the man? As you know, the welfare board is trying to get an extra million for considering it right now. One of my best reporters is at the meeting. Do you know that I'm connected with the welfare board?

You, Bennett? For the past month, I've been serving as treasurer for the Special Charity Fund. The charity relief is handled separately from the regularly welfare money? Yes, that's it. I took this position without pay simply to help out.

Who doesn't your regular business keep you pretty tied down? It would, only my workers' treasure on the charity fund is practically routine. How do you mean? I have nothing to do with the actual displacement of the money.

Oh, naturally. The setup requires two signatures on each relief check. Mine and Tinker's. Tinker? Oh, he's head of the welfare board, isn't he? Yes. As I was saying, we each sign the checks. But in order to facilitate matters, I've been putting my signature on blank checks.
