Inspector Faraday

Goodbye.

Mary, did you notice when I shook hands with Washburn, he gave me his bandaged hand?

So I squeezed it as hard as I could, and he didn't wince.

That means Muxie never bit him.

It may make a lot of sense if we can find out why Washburn wants Muxie killed.

Look.

You go to the dog show, and I'll meet you there.

I'm going to see Mrs. Richards and find out who might have been after our husband's diamond.

Then maybe I'll know how I got shot, and when I got shot, and who shot me.

And now, back to Boston Blackie.

Boston Blackie has been shot in the shoulder.

How, he doesn't know.

What's more, Mary Wesley has a problem, too.

Her dog, Muttsy, is in trouble with the law for biting a man who it has discovered later has not been bitten.

Unable to find the answer to either of these two puzzling problems, Blackie has sent Mary to hide Muttsy at the dog show and has gone to see Mrs. John Richards, wife of a man killed and robbed of a valuable diamond last night.

As we continue our story, Blackie is at the door of the Richards' home.

I'd like to speak to Mrs. Richards for you.

Tell her Boston Blackie is here.

In fact, tell her the two of us are here, me and this gun.

It's all right if I come in now, isn't it?
