But the form of Rocco Landi had vanished.


Do I think Landi's spirit really came back and drove the car in the race, and then returned
to make his murderer confess?

I don't know, mister. You'll have to ask me an easier one. All I'm telling is what I
saw and heard. And I've got two witnesses to back me up. One of them's the D.A.'s own
detective--Grossman! I'm kind of glad now that Sweeney insisted on him coming along with
us.

Later they found most of the hundred grand in a safe-deposit box which Vetti rented,
and the experts at the police department checked up, on Vetti's gun and said it was the
same one that fired the two bullets that killed Landi.

Anyhow, that four-flusher Wilbur Sweeney never brought me to trial again for the murder
of Rocco Landi. And I wasn't sorry. Once was enough!
