Later that night, the coroner was awakened by a call from Mildred Wattle. “Henry, Millie here. Sorry to bother you so late but it’s important. I just heard a rumor that Woodrow Braun died up at the Institute but it probably won’t be discovered until morning. You don’t want to know how I found out, okay? Listen carefully, I don’t care what you put on the damn death certificate but just make sure there is nothing that suggests foul play.” Before he could respond, Mildred Wattle said, “Sleep well, little brother” and hung up the telephone.

Henry Burdett had been elected coroner with the support of his sister and brother-in-law, then Mayor Wattle. He had done their bidding for years and had been compensated handsomely for it. But now he was up for re-election and he could certainly not count on the support of the new mayor, no matter what he did to ingratiate himself with him. Burdett had cast his lot with his brother-in-law and had nowhere else to turn.

Mildred Wattle slept soundly that night but Henry Burdett laid awake until morning, intermittently cursing his sister.
