We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Detective Bruce tells Peter that every piece of evidence he and his men have unearthed indicates he killed Nanny—and, as Iris and Claire look on, he tells him he regrets to do so, but that he may be charged with murder. For the first time, Peter and Iris begin to suspect that their friend, Carlotta, probably knows more about Nanny’s death than she gives the impression of knowing when she agrees that cir- cumstantial evidence is all against the producer. Knowing that if he is imprisoned he will have no chance 'to ex- onerate himself, Peter escapes custody and proceeds to build his case. He pays a call on Nanny’s uncle (Otto Kruger) whom she had visited. But, Peter gets no help here. Peter forces his way into the apartment of Claire (Virginia Leith) to convince her the letter Nanny showed her accusing him of reneging on a promise to marry her, is a forgery. The tables begin to turn. Detective Bruce makes no bones about letting Brian know he is far from satisfied with his story, that he has learned the latter had taken Nanny out several times. But, his explanation further complicates the mystery. The mystery is further heightened when Lottie tells of her jealousy and how she had warned Nanny to stay away from Brian. Bruce suddenly pulls a surprise. . . and the murder is trapped into a confession. Page 10A
