Reporter’s Midnight Scoop on Suburban Burglaries
A city editor’s frame allows a reporter to join two burglars for a final heist aimed at the police chief. At a Harrison Avenue house, the trio plans a break in to obtain the chief’s watch and jewelry, leading to a fatal shooting and the burglar’s death while a second robber escapes. The reporter returns with a sensational tale and a rare “scoop” that pleases the editor, until the chief calls out the deception.

She asks to consult her mother, who approves, then they arrange a wedding. The excerpt floats among column jokes about addressing a chair and a lighthearted note from the Yankee Blade.
