"And how did you know that Jamison Pusateri had seen who killed Adaline Leederman?" Della asked.
"Easy. He was the only one who could have identified the feather from the killer's hatband," Perry explained.
"I can't thank you enough for getting to the bottom of this, Mr. Mason. It would have meant the gas chamber for me," cut in Terrence Engle, their newly released client.
"Perry, what will happen to Mr. Pusateri? He didn't commit the murder, after all," Della added.
"He withheld key testimony and lied under oath. He'll spend a few years in jail."
"If he's got as many mob secrets as he hinted, he could probably bargain for leniency," Paul added.
"Thanks again, Mr. Mason," Engle said, passing him a check.
Paul grinned. "Looks like dinner's on you, pal."
