pieces split face the same handwriting

in the same words misspelled well if you
know the handwriting of course you can

tell me whose face is the man who killed
my Stafford just a moment

did your honor no don t stop that's why
I can't recall why did she get one of

these extortion letters yes for 500
hours

that's what strange an extortionist
doesn't usually demand 500 from one

victim and 10,000 from another you may
need operate in one bracket that's right

well what are you gonna do chief
now don't worry your honor will assign

bodyguards to you immediately bodyguards
those are the fellas will always shoot

second I guarantee your safety Udo I
suppose if you don't live up to your
guarantee you'll bring your resignation

over to my uterus now man no look I only
want one thing you know what that is

split face I've gone through every crank
letter an extortion message in our files

there's nothing that even looks like the
writing obispo face talk about eating

warmest effort one thing going through
her personal effects and business papers

that kept coming on to the name of will
Bert Thomas Oh is he

well that's what's funny I asked all her
schoolteacher friends and none of them

ever heard of him but he's in the phone
book and I've been calling him all night

let's go out to his house week away from
if he hasn't arrived by the time we get

there

that's the number

see what that does how he loved the car
out there

and doggies on the next yard yeah
evidently nobody home there either

just like the Stafford woman throws
slash knife cuts on face and chest only

a couple minutes later all the
headquarters I want the neighborhood

calmed look he's stepping somewhere on
that driveway when you phone get the car

and cruise around you just pop me but

say does he live in this place I don't
know but I think we've got him penned in

here go around to the back cover the
door launch one

I'm from headwaters do you live here yes
my name is Owens Steve Owens I follow a

man into your backyard and lost him
I believe he's taken refuge in your

house that's impossible
I've been home all evening but come in

and look around if you'd like to this
man slashed a schoolteacher to death and

committed another murder not far from
here tonight I guess a crazy killer like
that can give you police a lot of

trouble you never know where or when he
may get the urge to kill again

let's take a look at the back this way

I'll be right back

oh I found this window open in some
bloodstains on the carpet I mean no

one's lives here
I'll keep them busy in the study

continue looking the place over

your ornamental designs drones yes my
daughter is visiting relatives out of

town our cook goes home every night
which sit down

Thanks it's very unusual for me to spend
an evening at home like this I own the

Paradise Club did you ever know a woman
named RT Stafford that's the

schoolteacher who was killed yes I never
heard of her until I read about the
murder did you ever hear of a man who

calls himself split face no who is he
the killer I'm concerned about your

safety mr. Owens my assistant I think
we'd better leave a police guard with

you I don't think that'll be necessary

apparently you had this man cornered in
my backyard and he ran through the house

to get away he's not likely to come back
he's not in the house now anyway

I didn't find a thing dickin no weapons
no blood stains on his clothes and the

shoes in the closet are all clean maybe
he told the truth maybe he is and maybe

he isn't but right now we're going back
to the Thomas house Oh dick hello
Manning I thought I had him but I ran

second too bad it's Thomas all right
why'd you find out a usual stuff wallet

Ron 50 bucks medium price watch

Dick Tracy reporting I was afraid you
wouldn't talk to me if I gave my right

name did I apologize for last night

I wouldn't think I'm really forgiven
unless you let me make it boy

all right well good test I'll call B
early we'll dine we'll dance maybe we'll

even look at the moment you can't fool
me for a minute Dick Tracy I know you're

not going off of fun you're going out to
work if you examine the moon it'll be

for fingerprints
you're wrong test works forgotten and

besides that I have something
interesting to tell you know what Tracy
is crazy about you

but Mayer he's just a figurehead nobody
pays any attention to him pick you up at

8:00 so I'm just a figurehead a no one
pays any attention to me huh of course

not your honor I mean won't you sit down
so my life's in danger and no one pays
any attention to me no wonder our

citizens are being slashed to ribbons by
some maniac Your Honor we're all doing

everything possible
have you forgotten if I don't put

$10,000 in some trash can tonight then
I'm going to join miss Stafford and

Wilbur Thomas in the morgue we check the
movements of Thomas Thomas is dead

have you checked the movements of this
split face that's what I want to know

where you have a suspect I told them
there about Owens he wants us to arrest

him
if we do an attorney will get him out in

a few hours all will do is put him on
his guard has your honor ever met Owen

Joe Thomas I may have I meet lots of
people I'm a popular man I remember I

expect action and before 11 o'clock
tonight

now it looks like no soap I've been
standing here for three hours

my feet are killing me you didn't really
expect them to show up did you

why not we put the package in the can
just as the note instructed I got big

split places especially interested in
the package of money

it means Stanford Thomas lemare were all
marked for murder or the big date or not

right the lucky snap had got a note
asking five on it she didn't pay it was
killed Thomas got one in pain that

thousand illness he was killed
there's any not crazy there's some

central idea behind us some spring that
ties all these people together that's

encouraging
what am I gonna tell the mayor about
tonight congratulate him on being alive

and ask him where we if we're
encountered Stafford Thomas and see

bones

me mother's won't

don't bother to booking boys that's all

for tonight

I hope he made a reservation though
would only take a minute to call it how

are you I didn't want anyone to know me
here

Oh mr. Tracy good evening all Jews

to see you mr. Tracy is my dreams

good evening mr. Tracy they're the best
known unknown No

asked me about your father he did Tracy
I'm dutifully about my father

all right yes oh this is miss how you
doing I'm so happy to know you too I've

been away for a few days when I came
home this morning my father told me

about your visit to the house last night
your father has good nerves that

experience would have terrified all
other people he took it right in stride

I'm certainly glad you were there
but do you think it was entirely an
accident that the killer ran through our

house that's what I've been asking
myself where's your father now massan's

he's not here tonight see you no no no
I'm right after he left I I saw a man

walking through our garden I was
fighting so I jumped in my car as

quickly as possible and came right to
the club but you let me have the key to

your house yeah oh darling I'm terribly
sorry do you mind winning oh no you're

not
believe me yeah

you're stealing a car not me I feel

favor with you I don't expect the fun
anyone around here now I got her key so

I could make a thorough search of the
house while I both now well then I'll

help you

don't worry about being plied you go
first

nothing wrong
must be the viewers let's take a look at

the master switch you take a look I'm
staying right here

pick

Ecch thick

tell them where we are

oh and what are you doing up here

hi oh I am Professor Linwood J Starling
astrologist doctor of the occult

sciences how long have you been up there
time and space are beyond human

conception about the double-talk time
for police headquarters

obviously well I've been here since
darkness fell meditating communing with
my soul studying the course of the Stars

Sagittarius if you see anyone cross this
rope a moment ago no oh but I wouldn't

have unless he flashed momentarily
across the section of the heavens at

which I was looking you see I am a man
who knows how to concentrate what do you

live all right go ahead let's have a
look at it actions none being a doctor
of the mystic sciences I'm used to the

persecution to the police that you are
at that while you're amusing yourself

you won't mind if I return to my
telescope oh now the start will be there

a long time and I may be only a few
minutes and I might want to shut up I

find something interesting have a chat
over here it's more centrally located

and you can keep an eye on me stupid
fools the police if they had my

knowledge of the occult and this crystal
ball would be no need of detectives in

it I can see anything and there wouldn't
be any crooks either because you could
look in there and poor see what's at the

end of the line for them quite
discourage them

blood drips from two

say you didn't see anybody crossed the
room have you got to take another look

about crystal ball blood drips from -
what blood drips from - lives but there
will be 12 more 14 people men and women

rich and poor
I see 14 people and all of them are

dying yes when the last of the 14 is
dead and the cycle will be complete

now
now I see a 15
is

when I'll mow me down he's having his
fortune told

oh whatever we were doing it's over now
what do you mean

professor here was telling me some very
interesting things when you crashed in

and snapped a monitor I don't believe it
I couldn't have told you anything I
don't even know what you're looking for

this is one of the things I'm looking
for but I thought it without the help of

your crystal ball under your method you
probably also put it there man I chased

across your roof put it there well I I
don't know anything about it I never saw

it before maybe if we take him down to
headquarters and put him in another

trench it'll refresh your memory you
boys better stay around until we send

somebody up to fix the lock on his door
right there's a professor Starling test

take a good look and tell me if you ever
saw him before of course you've never

seen me before have you Tess
look at me Tess I assure you never saw

him before

I'm positive
take him to headquarters have this

checked by the medical examiner we wanna
know if it's the weapon that killed miss

Stafford and Thomas okay see you later
let's go professor

do you feel on it of course why you

acted like you were hypnotized oh that's
ridiculous

hey who was that man anyway professor
haha he's a doctor of the mystic
sciences and I've done good hypnotist

well do you think he's fit faith you're
the one to answer that you saw split

facing the ones this hallway oh but that
horrible guards just count that it could

be a trick make up job well then orange
two could be split face exactly and

we're going right back to the Paradise
Club before I'm going to make Judah

thrones producer father so you can get a
look at him too you can bring our dinner

I've been trying to reach you at
headquarters did you see anyone at the

help tonight yes but they saw us first

understand what's going on now dad
disappeared what makes you think so well

he hasn't come in all evening and he's
not at the house what was he supposed to
go anyone out tonight yeah dad likes to

gamble
yes he had a club up Tallinn and an

apartment I suppose you were there last
night too maybe we should drop over

he he left there at nine o'clock to come

here that's what worries me
well remember to give me the address I

made look in there later anyway well if
you'll excuse me I um I'll go with you

my nose would stand a little pirate ooh
oh but I was going to make a telephone

call did you think of someplace else
your partner my thing no no I was the

kind of call some friends make
arrangements to stay the night with him

until I heard from dad until we know
who's flip faces you wouldn't be safe

even with friends anyway it won't be
necessary to make

call because I'm taking you with me I'm
under arrest let's call her protective

custody but jail I didn't say anything
about Jail where then maybe I can take
you home with me

well how cozy I've got a housekeeper
who's also a good cook and we better be

going
yes because what I have to stop by my
place long enough for me to pack a bag

pack a bag you going someplace mm-hmm
I've had a hankering for some of mrs.

calories good cooking besides I wouldn't
want miss orange to be lonesome

well I've looked through all the books
and I can't find a picture the man that

jumped out of Owens closet peeking at
page 1a finding one and go through them

again you'll have to stop and study each
picture I did but you can't expect to

find a picture that looks exactly as he
did last night we might have one that

was taken before he got that's got he
says he doesn't remember ever meeting

staff at her Thomas and only knows
t-bones vaguely as being a nightclub

operator you know I think Owens is bred
face didn't dick show you a picture of

him no for the simple reason that there
are many Owens his daughter says he has
an aversion to having pictures taken

please it's bad luck strangers
disappearing right after split face

jumped you in his house it's strange how
well his daughter's holding up after all

she admits that he might be murdered Hey
look I found a surgical supply dealer

who admits selling three of these to an
undertaker on Pine Street what would an

undertaker moan with a surgical
instrument they use them for post

mortems we better both go right out
there you stay with the pictures test

business seems to be quiet
he can't be getting any stood face to

customers hey maybe he's been face good
afternoon
may I help you what in the Homicide

Squad oh I'm sure there have been no
irregularities

I have very own certificate that's all
right I just want you to take a look at
this huh

a dealer says it's 103 you sold you
recently it yes I believe it is Shane

they all disappeared so now try pop do
you think one of your employees stole

them

do most of the work myself where did you

keep the nuts
I'll show you I always find a collection
of caskets as there isn't a city well

congratulations and thank you if you
must not work in here tonight and this

door would not open oh yes and I suppose
of the telephone don't you ever go into

the front office to answer that write it
I would make it pretty easy for anyone
to wait until you were called to the

front office and slip in and steal the
knives

yes now this is where I kept the knife
careless of me perhaps but one doesn't

expect thieves in a place like this it
is a strange place for a murderer to

come for a weapon murder
oh dear Nia I am sorry did you ever know

a man who calls himself sprit face no I
can't believe sprut place would come

here only to obtain a weapon what do you
mean maybe you were number one on his

list I am somewhat he accident fight no
more when he came to kill you wait a
minute what about professor Starling do

you know him
don't never I read in the papers of one

of the knives was found in his room

goodbye mr. death wish
I shall not speak except on advice of

counsel I hope you boys haven't been
annoying to prepare the shoes on the

other foot he's got me ready to confess
to anything how long have they been

questioning you time and space are
beyond human conception people with me

grow up right
okay relax professor Starling Oh

scholars mean well they just get too
enthusiastic might as well relax

E dick I'm depending on you to watch

things here

somebody slugged me from behind that
said you were on the way to the office

definitely dead huh yeah I came down to
get the professor I want to take him out

there and show him death which although
this sure gives an airtight alibi not

quite what the professor was released on
a writ of habeas corpus when an hour or

so ago that's why I want to see you
tonight

darling

what do you want here but I

you should not come back here I've been

in jail for 24 hours I know that you
fool I said the lawyer I got you out oh

well why did you want to get me out I
want you out before you talk today more

14 will die you say it's wrong
the screen will die 15 what do you mean
15 because I can't take a chance on you

any longer
all those years thinking they can have

nothing except paying them back good
even do you think I'm going to let you

stop me I'm not trying to stop you what
have I done to stop you I know about

those Latin letters you've been writing
didn't care until they brought the cops

to your door I admit that I wrote them
but it was an easy way to get the money

and it didn't hurt you as long as you
were going to kill it I'll give you

money thousand from Thomas and all those
districts you paid now there isn't this

rich

I've paid him a visit snacks honey
Saamy you look just like you know this
life is very shot no one hurt

I like when I got this face it wasn't
done so nice decide people won't have to

look at you and turn sick at the side of
you know it's open killing me she saw

you she knows you

you're going fast and there's nothing
anybody can do always push Thanks that's

a who is he why did he want to kid you

right thank you for coming down your
honor

listen Tracy what's all this nonsense
about me telling you who split face is

I'll come to that in just a moment
the professor was the extraction is

drona it totals a thousand dollars and
it's made up of the exact number of

fives tens and twenties that Wilber
Thomas drew from the bank the professor

his good face what partners hide hours
but the professor who split face maybe

from prison and he was wise to her
he saw a chance to pick up some money Oh

what's all this got to do with me
telling you who split face is the

professor said that 14 people men and
women rich and poor were marked for

murder
you make any statement before he died

but 14 people in such varied financial
circumstances and of both sexes would

have to become associated in only one
place that I can think of that would be

a jury box 12 jurors and two alternate
did you ever serve on a jury and a

criminal trial your honor
well yes can you remember the year you

served as a juror well I was in the
grocery business now let me think it was

the year removed from Larchmont oh then
you remember who's being tried

well I recall the case perfectly there
the the defendant was a criminal he

stabbed his sweetheart to death that
sounds like the Alexis banning case now

it all comes back to me Alexis banning
is the name he was crazy then why when

we brought in the verdict he screamed
he'd kill us all

without a general alarm for Alexis
banning he is split face

program for a special news bulletin the
police have identified the maniac killer

who has been terrorizing the city he is
Alexis Fanning alias wet Bay well he

would come back together she'd be no
objection to my leaving this charming

little Jail no I'm sure it'll be all
right

only if your father decides to come out
of hiding it would be nice if you'd get

in touch with mr. Tracey well good night
oh dear I'll talk to him I want a report

on your target okay if you want me I'll
be up in the lab I'm checking some
fingerprints I'm really bad piggy bank

we got it don't matter any man at this
time I'm mr. Tracey please

ten-year-old boy riding the rear bumper
