The next afternoon Sargent Ripper went into Detective Stitches office to report what he had found out.

  “Everyone’s alibi checked out just as they said but a couple of interesting items came to light.” said Ripper.

  “A few facts first, one whoever did it either had a key or knew Mrs. Fabric well enough to be let in,” stated Stitches, “but we need a motive.”

  “I may have one for you, sir.” responded Ripper. “Lee Longarm is a regular at the tavern.  He is not only the mailman but is the local bookie.  Freddie Fabric is one of his best customers and owes him a nice sum.  Also, the phone call was to Mrs. Fabric’s lawyer.  Mrs. Fabric was tired of Freddie’s gambling and was going to make a new will leaving everything to Jeannie Zipper.”

   “Well, well,” said Stitches. “Go and arrest Freddy Fabric.”
