All-Risk Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting and expenditure during my investigation of the Alma Scott matter. There's gone out of $119 airfare and incidentals between Hartford and San Francisco. For a day and a half, the investigation had taken the form of a search for the man who called me, Alan Swain.

Four witnesses, tenants in the dead girl's apartment house, had seen him running away in the corridor outside her flat immediately after they'd heard the shots. So when this chief suspect filmed about eight that second night to say that he was innocent and wanted this evening, I was naturally more than anxious to set the meeting up.

Later, I wasn't so happy about it. According to arrangements I camped to the corner of Fulton 26th Avenue, a found a photography shop in front of which I was supposed to be picked up. I stood there for about five minutes looking at the pictures of some uninteresting bribes.
