Thank you.
Let's get this over with.
I got work to do.
Very definitely, Mrs. Avery.
You can help me a great deal.
You see, my investigations find nothing except that a lot of people wanted to see your son dead.
In view of that and the fact that this case has been singularly unproductive of results, I wanted both of you to know that Mr. Markham and I are leaving here in the morning.
Good.
Yes, I am.
That means that if I don't find your son's murderer tonight...
That will leave only the sheriff to look for whoever it is.
And somehow I don't believe the sheriff is going to look very hard.
I'm playing a long shot, Markham.
When we get to the Avery house, I'll know if it worked.
Certainly.
I had Doris Stanley call her brother and Frank Joyce over to Mrs. Avery's.
I wanted the four of them and the sheriff there when we arrived.
And what's the long shot you spoke about?
If they're there and things work out the way I plan, I think I can prove to you who murdered Bill Avery.
I have.
