Counterspy - The Case of the Curious Conspiracy

On the afternoon of September the 5th, Charles Franklin, president of the Franklin Nylon Company, a small but vital subcontract firm supplying materials to parachute manufacturers, is alone in his office dictating to a mechanical recorder. He says "And that, Mr. Harding is the entire story. I had no rest since this horrible thing happened. I'm no better than a traitor and a murderer. I do not ask for forgiveness. I deserve none". He stops the recording, gets up and walks to his door of his office and opens it. Miss Brewster, his secretary, says "Yes, Mr. Franklin?" He says "Will you please come right in, Miss Brewster?" She comes into his office, and he says "I want you to see that this recording is delivered to the local Counterspy field office". She says "Counterspy? Yes, immediately". Franklin says "That will be all, Miss Brewster". She says "Mr. Franklin, please don't think I'm speaking out of turn, but you haven't been yourself lately. And well, I've been worried about you". He says "You don't have to worry about me anymore, Miss Brewster. I'll be all right soon. All right. Now, please see that the recording is delivered". She says "Yes, sir. I will". Miss Brewster walks out of his office and suddenly a gunshot is heard. She runs back in and says "Oh, Mr. Franklin!..Mr. Franklin!...She runs to the door and says "Ann, call the police right away! Mr. Franklin has just shot himself!
