Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI. This is your FBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

In about 14 minutes, the sponsor of this program, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, States will have something important to say to homeowners. So Mrs. Housewife, if your husband is not listening to this program, better send one of the children to fetch him. Tell him he's going to hear about America's finest plan for homeownership, a plan that can save you money.

Tonight's FBI file, the Homicide Hideout. It has been said that there is honor even among thieves, but no greater fallacy than that was ever uttered.

But a shaft of moonlights landing across the porch and to an open window falls across an old featherbed and the faces of two women. One is hard and middle-aged. The other young and grotesquely scarred.
