:ENDR
:CASE
Tom Duggan, for as long as everyone could remember, had been
the maintenance man at the Dartmouth Hotel. He was well liked
throughout the community, an outstanding citizen and was very
patriotic. Early this morning he was found dead at the hotel.
With an autopsy pending, the Coroner has yet to disclose the
cause of death.
According to William Bowers, the Dartmouth Hotel Manager, Tom
had been working the past two days on the air ducts throughout
the hotel. He had talked to Tom the night before and everything
sounded fine. Tom said he was going to work late to get the job
finished. When Hortense Whatley, the head housekeeper, arrived
in the morning she found Tom Duggan's body stuffed into the
dumb-waiter.
Inspector Lestrade has already questioned some people which
included Mary Duggan, Tom's wife; Hector Bosely, the Bellhop at
the hotel; Mr. and Mrs. Wallington, a couple staying at the
hotel; Roberta Simms and Michael Jefferson, good friends of the
Duggans'.
Knowing Tom for quite a while, you find yourself compelled to
find out what really happened.
