Transcript

But Green Hornet, he hunts the biggest of all game. Public enemies who try to destroy our America. With his faithful valedquito, Brit Reid, daring young publisher, matches wits with the underworld,

risking his life at criminals and rocketeers within the law, may feel its weight by the sting of the Green Hornet. Ride with Britt Reid in the thrilling adventure, the state's witness, the green horrid strikes again.

Reid, young publisher of the Daily Sentinel, looked at the headlines of the latest edition of his paper as a secretary Lenore Case placed it on the desk before him. Then he spoke.

Hendrix Mutter Case would be clinched when they put the star witness on the stand day after the morning. Yes, it's rumored, according to Axford, that the witness is the former secretary in the Hendrickson Bond's office, Re Dayton.

The actress says he heard she's going to testify that she went back to the office to get her gloves the evening of the murder. And she saw Hendrix placing the gun in Bond's hand after he'd been shot.

Of course, Hendrix has stuck to his story that it was suicide. Yes, I know. I was generally known that their brokerage business was almost on the rocks. I was acquainted with Barnes through the Civic Club.

Didn't seem like the time to kill himself. So far they haven't built up too much of a case against Hendrix, so everybody says around here. But if she testifies, it's going to probably mean his conviction.

I understand Ms. Dayton didn't want to testify, so she was summoned to appear. The police are holding her as witness. And Rick says a clever attorney in his fighting hard to win an acquittal. But he and Hendricks will certainly have to put their heads together to get out from one of that girl's testimony.
