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......
