THE DOX TO [DICK-TRACY] TYPED IN BY SCOOTER ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THANX GOES TO NICK OF CRYSTAL FOR SUPPLYING THEM..MANY THANX NICK ----------------------------------------------------------------- MY REGARDS GO TO THOSE GUYS WHO TYPE IN THE DOC`S..RYGAR..FOXY..MR T -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= LIPS MANILUS GOES MISSING!!!! ACCORDING TO WITNESSES WHO WISH TO REMAIN ANONOYMOUS,LIPS MANILUS WAS SEEN LAST NIGHT AT HIS NIGHT CLUB THE `RITZ` HE APPARENTLY LEFT THE ESTABLISHMENT ESCORTED BY UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICERS WHO WANTED HIM TO HELP THEM WITH'ROUTINE ENQUIRIES`. THE DISAPPEARANCE IS ALL THE MORE SUSPECT IN THE BULLET RIDDLED BODIES OF THE FAMOUS GANGSTERS BODY GUARDS HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED. INSPECTOR TRACY WHO IS HEADING THE INVESTIGATION,WAS SURPRISED TO FIND HIS NAME ENGRAVED IN BULLET HOLES IN THE WALL OF THE GARAGE IN WHICH THE BODIES WERE DISCOVERED.HE RECKONS THIS IS A CHALLENGE ISSUED BY THE PERSON BEHIND ALL THESE KILLINGS. THE INITIAL CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY THE INVESTIGATORS LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT THE INVESTIGATION WILL LAST FOR SOME TIME. ARE WE HEADING FOR ANOTHER GANG WAR? IF LIPS MANILUS DOES NOT SURFACE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WE MUST REGRETTABLY EXPECT ANOTHER UPSURGE IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. IN FACT LIPS MANILUS MUST BE CONSIDERED AS THE UNDER WORLD BOSS OF THIS CITY AND HIS DISAPPEARENCE CREATES AN ENTICING VACUM FOR ALL LOCAL HOODS. A NEW OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE,AND FURTHER GANG WARFARE IS THEREFORE FEARED. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS VIRTUALLY THE ONLY INFO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN OTHER THAN THE FACTTHAT THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A WITNESS TO THE `WAREHOUSE BLOODBATH` ALTHOUGH GIVEN THAT THE PERSON IN QUESTION IS A STREET URCHIN KNOWN AS THE `KID` WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH CREDENCE CAN BE GIVEN TO HIM. THE MAIN SUSPECTS? MANY OF THE CITIES VARIOUS BIG SHOTS HAD A VESTED INTEREST IN SEEING LIPS MANILUS DISAPPEAR.FOR INSTANCE,AMONG THE MAIN SUSPECTS,WE FIND BIG BOY CAPRICE WHO ACCORDING TO DICK TRACY IS THE `GUY WHO STANDS TO GAIN MOST OUT OF THIS AFFAIR`.... MORE IN OUR NEXT EDITION.....THE EDITOR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRACY`S GOT NOTHING ON ME!! [BIG BOY CAPRICE] AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE HE GAVE WHEN LIPS MANILUS DISAPPEARED,BIG BOY TOLD US,`TRACY KNOWS NO MORE THAN YOU AND ME ABOUT THIS` MAYBE THATS WHY HE`S SUGGESTING I MAY HAVE BUMPED OFF LIPS,BUT HE`S GOT NO PROOF!!. I`VE GOT 10 WITNESSES WHO CAN SWEAR BEFORE THE COURT THAT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME OF CARDS WHICH BEGAN AROUND 10 O`CLOCK AND ENDED AROUND 6 O`CLOCK IN THE MORNING.NOT ONLY THAT,LIPS AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BUDDIES AND I`M VERY UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE`S DISAPPEARED.......SO IF TRACY CARRIES ON MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE THAT. HE`S GOING TO HAVE MY LAWYERS AFTER HIM!!! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT BIG BOY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN SHADY DOINGS. OF COURSE NOT EVEN A HINT OF A CLUE HAS EVER ENABLED THE POLICE TO CHARGE HIM,BUT THIS TIME DICK TRACY IS TAKING THE CASE VERY MUCH TO HEART AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT HE IS ON A TRAIL THAT IS LIKELY TO LEAD SOMEWHERE. IF THE TRAIL LEADS TO BIG BOY,THERE WILL BE AN ALMIGHTY COMMOTION IN THE CITY!!!. --------------- WHO EXACTLY IS THIS BIG BOY CAPRICE? ARROGANT AND AMBITIOUS,BIG BOY CAPRICE IS THE MAN HEADING FOR THE TOP IN THIS CITY, IN HIS DESIRE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CITY BIG BOY IS READY TO GO TO JUST ABOUT ANY LENGHTS. THUS HE NEVER AVOIDS STRONG-ARM TACTICS,AND TO DATE,NOBODY HAS HELD OUT AGAINST HIM FOR VERY LONG.... DESPITE EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS IT PROVED IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE HOSE PEOPLE KNOWN TO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FACE UP TO HIM. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON, BIG BOY DECLARED `I DUNNO` I GUESS THEY JUST CAME AROUND TO SEEING THINGS MY WAY AND DECIDED TO TRY THEIR LUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE?.... STOP -PRESS- STOP - PRESS - STOP - PRESS ---------------------------------------- WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT BIG BOY IS THE NEW OWNER OF THE FAMOUS `RITZ CLUB` WHICH USED TO BELONG TO LIPS MANILUS, AND THE STRANGE THING IS, THE DEEDS CONFIRMING ONERSHIP WERE JUST SIGNED THIS MORNING..... BE CAREFUL!...THESE MEN ARE DANGEROUS.... --------------- FLATTOP STRIKES AGAIN!! STRONG SUSPICION LURKS AROUND FLATTOP FOLLOWING THE DISAPPEARENCE OF LIPS MANILIS. SEVERAL WITNESSES CLAIM THEY REGONISED HIS SILHOUETTE INSIDE THE FAKE POLICE VEHICLE USED FOR THE ABDUCTION.HOWEVER, NONE OF THE PERSONS PRESENT OUTSIDE THE`RITZ` WENT TO THE POLICE STATION TO MAKE STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT. THE PRESENCE OF FLATTOP,ALIAS CEILING HEAD,APPEARS TO HAVE PUT MANY PEOPLE OFF MAKING TESTIMONY AGAINST THE MAN SOMETIMES KNOWN AS BIG BOY CAPRICES RIGHT HAND MAN. THE SETTLING OF SCORES CARRIERED OUT BY LOCAL HOODS FRIGHTENS POTENTIAL WITNESSES. THIS REACTION APPEARS TO BE QUITE LOGICAL IF WE LOOK AT THE MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHICH HAVE BEFALLEN THOSE WHO HAVE TESTIFIED AGAINST VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE UNDER WORLD. THIS ATTITUDE MAKES THE TASK OF TRACEY AND HIS COLLEAGUES FAR FROM EASY. AND THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW CONSIDERABLE BOLDNESS IF THEY ARE TO CATCH FLATTOP AND HIS ACCOMPLICES.TRACEY,HOWEVER,WOUYLD LIKE TO AVOID AND ALL OUT SHOWDOWN WITH FLATTOP,WHO SPECIALISES IN SLAUGHTER OF ALL KINDS.... --------------- THE BROW: SUBTLE CRIME.... CRIME AND CORRUPTION ARE SPREADING AT AN ALARMING SPEED THRU DUBIOUS TRADING OF ALL KINDS.ACCORDING TO CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES,THE CITY HAS BEEN DIVIDED UP INTO DIFFERENT SECTORS CONTROLLED BY THE LOCAL UNDERWORLD. ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL SECTORS,ILLEGAL GAMBLING,IS DEVELOPING IJN PARALLEL WITH THE APPEARENCE OF NUMEROUS NIGHT CLUBS. A GANSTER CALLED THE `BROW` WHOSE NAME IS NOT UNKNOWN TO US, IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE MYSTERIOUS NETWORK CONTROLLING THE MAJOR SHARE OF TRAFFIC IN GAMING MACHINES. THE LOCAL POLICE HAVE BEEN MONITORING HIS MOVEMENTS CLOSELY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN VARIOUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.LIVING UP ON HIS REPUTATION AS A CAREFUL STRATEGIST,HE HAS MADE SURE NOTHING COULD BE PINNED ON HIM.THE ONLY WAY TO BRING FRAUDLENT ACTIVITIES TO AN END SEEMS TO BE TO ARREST HIM IN THE ACT.MANY MEN ARE ON HIS TRAIL AND THE SLIGHTEST ERROR ON HIS PART COULD BE FATAL. HIS DEEP LOVE OF GAMBLING COULD PROVE YET TO BE HIS UNDOING... --------------- TESS TRUEHEART..IS THIS THE LADY WHO SETS DICK TRACYS HEART RACING?.... MISS TES TRUEHEART IS NOT ONLY A GRACEFUL,INTELLIGENT AND SOPHIISTICATED LADY, BUT ALSO A HORTICULTURIST OF SOME REPUTE. ALTHOUGH SHE CLAIMS TO BE INDEPENDENT,IT IS RUMOURED AROUND TOWN THAT SHE IS GOING TO MARRY `DICK TRACEY!!`. MISS TRUEHEART REFUSED TO MAKE A STATEMENT ON THIS SUBJECT AND CLAIMS TO KNOW NOTHING WHATSO EVER ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF DICK TRACEY.... --------------- PRUNEFACE.....A MAN EQUAL TO ANY SITUATION.... IN THE LIGHT OF THE STRONG SITUATIONS SURROUNDING BIG BOY, WE TRIED TO INTERVIEW `PRUNEFACE`, ONE OF BIG BOYS CLOSE ASSOCIATES. WE REMIND OUR READERS THAT PRUNEFACE IS RECKONED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENTS IN TOWN,AND HE CERTAINLY HAS A SPECIAL TALENT FOR MAKING MONEY. HOWEVER,HE APPEARS TO BE DOGGED BY EXTRAORDINARY AND INCREDIBLY BAD LUCK,SINCE VERY OFTEN,THE BUILDING IN WHICH HE IS TAKING INTEREST TUMBLE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR FALL VICTIM TO FIRINESS OF DIC....FORTUNATELY FOR HIM, HE IS ALWAYS WELL INSURED! NORMALLY WORKING ON HIS OWN,PRUNEFACE IS TOUGH IN BUSINESS,BUT NOBODY CAN SAY THAT HE HAS FAILED TO MEET HIS COMMITMENTS. ACCORDING TO OUR INFO,IT WAS HIM THAT BIG BOY CAPRICE TURNED TO IN THE `CLUB RITZ` DEAL. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HIS ROLE WAS IN THIS DEAL,BUT THIS RELATIONSHIP LEADS US TO ANTICIPATE THAT WE ARE HEADING FOR SOME MAJOR REAL ESTATE DEALINGS IN THE CITY. --------------- THE `KID` FOUND!!! THE KID WAS APPREHENDED THIS MORNING.THIS JUVENILE DELIQUENT AGED ABOUT 10 WAS CAUGHT RED-HANDED BY DICK TRACY AS HE TRIED TO STEAL A WATCH FROM A PASSER BY. THE YOUNG PICKPOCKET TRIED TO RUN AWAY BUT WHEN FOUND,BUT DID NOT RECKON ON DICK TRACEYS SPEED AND PERSISTENCE. THE CHASE ENDED IN THE RUN DOWN AND INSALUBRIOUS SHACK WHICH IS THE HOME OF STEVE THE TRAMP, WHO IS WELL KNOWN FOR ORGANISING A FIELD FORCE OF PICK POCKETS.DICK TRACEY TOOK THE THIEF AWAY AFTER OVERPOWERING STEVE THE TAMP IN A FIST FIGHT THE VAGRANT WHO ADMITTED USING THE CHILD FOR CRIMINAL PURPOSES SAID THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES IN HIS CASE.STEVE TT THE VAGRANT WHO ADMITTED USING THE CHILD FOR CRIMINAL PURPOSES SAID THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES IN HIS CASE. STRAMP WAS LOCKED UP AT THE END OF THE EVENING. SOON AFTER THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. WE REMIND YOU THAT THE KID IS RECKONED BY THE POLICE TO BE THE MAIN WITNESS OF THE `WAREHOUSE BLOODBATH`. DICK TRACEY WAS THEREFORE DELIGHTED TO LAY HANDS ON HIM:WITHOUT DOUBT HIS TESTIMONY WILL BE OF GREAT VALUE TO THE INVESTIGATORS. THE KID HAS APPARENTLY BE TAKEN IN CHARGE BY DICK TRACEY,WHO,ASSISTED BY HIS FIANCEE TESS,PLANS TO PUT THE BOY BACK ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,THE KID,A LIVELY SMART AND RESOURCEFUL SURVIVOR,SEEMS PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. WHEN INTERVIEWED BY OUR REPORTER,ALL THE KID SAID WAS, `HEY` WHAT TIME ARE WE GONNA EAT? --------------- [THESE DOCS CORRECTED BY [RYGAR] DEADLY MADNESS TAKES OVER CITY STREETS!!! THIS BARELY BELIEVABLE PHOTO(MAKE USE OF YOUR IMAGINATION)SHOWS 2 MEN IN A CAR HURLING BOMBS AT COMPLETE STRANGERS IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN!. NOBODY HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ACT AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHOM THESE BOMBS WERE INTENDED FOR!..BUT OUR STREETS ARE BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS. THE POLICE COMMANDER TOLD US THAT HE WAS TAKING CHARGE OF THE SITUATION AND IMMEDIATELY RUSHED DICK TRACEY TO THE SCENE OF THE INCIDENT. ONE QUESTION COMES TO MIND: IS THERE MAYBE A LINK BETWEEN THIS OUTRAGE AND THE DISAPPEARENCE OF `LIPS MANILUS`?........ --------------- DISK TRACEY MAKES HIS MOVE!!!! DISK TRACEY CONFIDED TO ONE OF OUR REPORTERS YESTERDAY THET THE `TIME HAD COME TO MAKE A MOVE`. ACCORDING TO HIM,BIG BOY CAPRICE IS BEHIND THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARENCE OF `LIPS MANILUS`. TRACEY TAKES A VIEW THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR US TO STRIKE ON THE GROUND IF WE WISH TO AVOID AN ESCALATION OF VIOLENCE OVER THE WEEKS TO COME. THE UNDERWORLD IS TRYING TO TAKE THIS CITY OVER. I`M GOING TO DO ALL I CAN TO STOP THEM. THIS STATEMENT SHOWS TRACEY`S DESIRE TO CARRY ON WORKING ON THE GROUND. AT THE TIME WHEN THE WORD IS OUT ON THE STREETS THAT HE MAY BE PROMOTED TO BEING HEAD OF THE LOCAL POLICE FORCE, THE CITIES STREETS ARE THUS GOING TO REMAIN TRACEY`S PATCH,WHERE EVERY DAY HE PROVES HAT HE IS A REMARKABLE MAN OF ACTION.THUS HIS TALENTS AS AN OUTSTANDING SHARP SHOOTER AND BRAVERY EVERY TIME HE IS PUT TO THE TEST REMAIN HIS VITAL QUALITIES, WHICH ALLOW US TO TURN A BLIND EYE TOWARDS HIS METHODS OF INVESTIGATION SOMETIMES CONSIDERED BY HIS SUPERIORS AS TO `DIRECT` TRACEYS RETORT TO THIS IS `TAKING RISKS IS PART OF THE JOB,AND A GOOD POLICE OFFICER SHOULD SEE IT AS HIS DUTY TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC,WHICH SOMETIMES INVOLVES USING METHODS WHICH ARE DIRECT` WITH THESE QUALITIES AND HIS LEGENDARY DOGGEDNESS,TRACEY STANDS A GOOD CHANCE OF CLEANING UP ORGANISED CRIME......
