The Latourette Matter

From Hollywood it's time now for John Lund as Johnny Dollar Dan made you the lord home to call oh lieutenant I've been trying to see you on this lot for everything what's your connection dollar?

I'm investigating for the National Underwriters. Oh, did you know Thompson? Yeah, too bad I'll be tied up till after lunch. You want to get together there anything I can do in the meantime No, thanks, but enjoy the weather dollar. I don't think you'll enjoy the case I'll see you in my office about two.

Right, Lieutenant. John Lund in the transcribed adventure of a man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Here's truly... Johnny Daller. Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny Daller to Home Office, National Underwriters Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the lot-correct matter. Expense account item 1, $97.50, airfare and incidentals between Hartford and Denver. I arrived at 6.30 in the morning with a cold, sun-filled dawn.

I reacquainted myself with a mile-high city at the airport restaurant where I drank coffee and waited for my luggage. I'd been there once before on a case in 1947, but the Denver I saw this time was a great deal difference.

I was a different figure filled out bustling towns like people change. I arranged to rent a car from the Avis people and drove on into the city itself. There I checked in at the Cosmopolitan, showered and shaved, and waited until nine o'clock before I rang Bessie Thompson's room.

Who? Johnny Dollar Bessie. Oh, you're here? Yeah, as a matter of fact, in the same hotel. Same case, Tommy was working on it? Yeah. Be careful, Johnny. Everybody seems to die, who has anything to do with it.
