The Perfect Stenographer Unmasks a Murder Plot
Detective Dundee exposes Bert Magnus as a fraud using a mechanical typewriter device to fake alibis. The plan unraveled through a baklite disk, a phonograph-like setup, and a tied rack concealment. Dan Griffin, using Magnus identity, is linked to a prior accident and staged writings reveal motives. The key break comes from optical records and on-site testing of the apparatus.
