Pamela Smith’s trial
In the mid 20th century Pamela Smith seem to lead a good life. Nobody ever saw her working but she always had cash to get what she wanted.
She had money because of her unique occupation- she was a hit woman for the city’s mob boss. One day he requested she ‘disposed’ of his current girlfriend. Armed with her trusty 1911 .45 pistol she went to the girlfriend’s apartment and put a single slug through her forehead.
The mission was a success. The girlfriend was quiet dead. What Pamila didn’t know the dead woman was an undercover detective of the NYPD! Not only was she dead, Barbara Moore was the secret lover of Stan Goldman, the recently promoted chief of detectives. He called in his top detectives, even T. H. Tree who was serving a month’s suspension for interrogating a prisoner with a taped up telephone book (the prisoner was the mayor’s son and he passed out before he could talk).
Goldman didn’t explain about his relationship with Miss Moore but he told the team “I want the perpetrator caught and, Tree, you can use you unique methods.”
Tree went to see the mob boss figuring he was behind the hit. He was as honest with Tree as he could afford to be. He suggested that the bullet was probable from Pamela’s gun but good luck finding her. She is vacationing in the Florida Keys. Tree thanked him and went to the airport and chartered a DC-4 to fly him to Florida. He checked out the usual dives and quickly found Pamela. He arrested her and placed her in handcuffs and shackles and flew her back to New York.
