He's involved with a a New York investment firm that deals with real estate, oil, and mining". Johnny says "I'm afraid not. What about him?" Pat says "We are carrying a one hundred thousand dollar life insurance policy on him, and last night, he fell out of a fourteen story window". Johnny says "That is bad. Was it an accident or suicide?" Pat says "Maybe neither, I think he was pushed". Johnny says "I'll be right over". When Johnny arrives, he asks "What can you tell me about Everett Benton?" Pat says "He was 45 years old and doing very well in business, as far as we know. At about 10 o'clock last night, he fell, jumped, or was pushed out the window". Johnny asks "This policy he had, who was the beneficiary? Pat says "His wife, Clair. She was about 12 years younger than him, and has red hair. So, what do you think? Johnny says "I think I better have a talk with Mrs. Benton".
