During his various prison terms, he studied law, 59 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.319 practiced penmanship, read avidly on every subject under the sun, 60 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.560 and prepared himself for more swindles. His campaign to have 61 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.520 braud the estate of Charles Emmett of Texas was researched 62 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.680 down to the minutest detail. He spent days on county records, 63 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.680 looked up old newspapers, visited every town the Texas man 64 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.680 had lived there. With the full background and his girl 65 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.479 Amy standing by, Santley called on the executors of the 66 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.360 emit the state, and then he showed me these letters 67 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.319 from Charlie to the girl. I just wouldn't believe it. 68 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.719 I thought I knew all about chum. Are you assure sir? 69 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:39.639 Naturally? 70 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.360 I asked him some very pertinent questions. 71 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.199 Oh, he has the. 72 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.080 Facts offer, but how did mister Emmett. Of course, that's 73 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.080 the first thing I wanted to know. How did Charlie 74 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.000 manage to keep it secret, and why, well, why a 75 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.840 simple He didn't intend to keep it secret. 76 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.199 She lived in California and he was going to bring 77 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:54.560 her here. 78 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.319 Of course, she was associated with some nightclub. But Charlie 79 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.680 obviously intended to Marrier on his next trip West. This 80 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.439 lawyer who represents he's a California man, but it really 81 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.800 seems quite confident he studied our. 82 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:09.759 Statues, sorleft. 83 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.759 What is she asking for us? Well, we didn't come 84 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.280 to specific terms, but it sounded like two or three 85 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.600 hundred thousand. My guess is that we finally agree on 86 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.519 something between ten and twenty thousand. Of course, sir, the 87 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.279 estate is not legally liable in a manner like this. 88 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.560 I know it isn't, and so does her lawyer. He's 89 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.759 presented her claim quite frankly, on a nuisance basis, save 90 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.680 the estate bad publicity and save embarrassment to the university. 91 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.600 I suppose that is worth something. 92 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.600 I'm afraid it is. 93 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.480 Of course, I said we'd. 94 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.600 Want to talk with the young lady before we come 95 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.439 to any decision. 96 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.279 Naturally, I thought you might do that. Author be glad 97 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.279 from what I gather from mister Santley, she's not an 98 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.600 intellectual bombshell. You'll have to handle her with the techtile try, sir. Also, 99 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.279 it's possible that she's merely an adventuress who met Charlie 100 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.040 on one of his busines strips and is trying to 101 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.639 cash in on a good thing. But you said he 102 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:04.319 wrote her a letter. 103 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.240 Oh yes, he did. 104 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:06.399 You know. 105 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.879 In many ways Charlie was a brilliant man, but when 106 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.759 it came to women, that's off in the way, sir. 107 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.319 Yes, I'm afraid it is. 108 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.920 No man who has a million dollars ought to be 109 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.079 allowed to write anything but business letters, especially after age party. 110 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.079 All right, Now, where did you meet him? Amy? 111 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.560 I met Charles at the Club sixteen in Los Angeles, 112 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.040 where I was fulfilling and singing and engagement. 113 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.399 What's wrong now you're reciting it like you were reading it. 114 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.560 Well, I did read it off that paper he gave. 115 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.680 I know you did, Amy, But the idea is on No, no, no, no, 116 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.639 I can't take any more till after writ eat. 117 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.519 I'm sorry, Oliver, But once I learn about me and Charlie. 118 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:52.920 That's it. 119 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:54.040 That's the way to say it. 120 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.560 You and Charlie. That actually sounded as if you were 121 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:57.399 his girlfriend. 122 00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:58.000 Certainly. 123 00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.959 What you have to do, Amy is believe that. 124 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.399 Think of the exciting place as Charlie took you, how 125 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.959 much fun you had together, how sweet he was. How 126 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.560 one night you know about the palm springs? 127 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.000 And he said, gee, Amy, I. 128 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.199 Sure we'd love to see you in a natural, sober 129 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:11.720 blue mink cout Amy. 130 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.720 Charlie was a romantic guy, not a walking bank account. 131 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.560 Couldn't he express his romantic feelings in a practical way? 132 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.360 Come on, come on, let's eat. 133 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.680 Oh well, get it, Oliver, honest, I will. When do 134 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:24.040 I have to see the lawyer. 135 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:24.680 In a couple of days? 136 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.439 Could we have chop Suey tonight? Oliver? If they have 137 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:28.800 chopped Suey in Texas? 138 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.879 They have everything in Texas, everything, especially money, and I'd 139 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.759 like very much to get my hands on some of it. 140 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.759 Although there were very few leads on Santley, we did 141 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.079 get some encouragement when one of his victims gave us 142 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.680 a business calling card, but Santley had left while posing 143 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.079 as a lawyer. The address on the card was a 144 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.199 non existent number on a street in downtown Chicago, but 145 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.759 we figured that something must have prompted Santle to name 146 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.360 this street, so we began checking with Santlee's photograph. We 147 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.959 canvased building on the street in the nightclub. We finally 148 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:03.839 came up with something. 149 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.240 Let me see that picture again.

She was so dumb. 159 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.360 I was keeping an eye on her. 160 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:28.839 I see, no, you don't. 161 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.199 This was strictly on the up and up. I'm not 162 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:32.360 the marrying kind, but. 163 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.439 If I had a been, I gather this young lady. 164 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:35.040 She did. 165 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.639 He called for her one night a year ago, and 166 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.720 she just never came back. 167 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.240 Have you any idea where they went, mister Grogan, Sure 168 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:41.639 I have. 169 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.000 I could practically give you a map.

But the last 174 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.000 one was from Dallas, Texas. 175 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.240 How long ago was that I don't remember. 176 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:57.959 A couple of weeks, maybe more. 177 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.439 You think she's still went sampley all. 178 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.920 She says on a postcard is dear Eddie, wish you 179 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.120 were here, love Amy. She puts her tea on wish. 180 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.399 But you're sure the last one was from Dallas. 181 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.120 I'm positive, mister Grogan. 182 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.319 Do you happen to have a picture. 183 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:11.519 Of the girl? 184 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.879 Yeah, yeah, I got one.
