"...I married one of the McQuillan girls and then my trouble started," Dunn told Brown. "Do you know anybody that wants to make $10,000? ... I want to get rid of my wife. ... I don't give a damn how they do it so long as they get rid of her." Brown suggested that a Reno divorce would be far simpler, but Frank's conscience as a Catholic would not let him accept this solution because, as he said, "under the rules of my church I can never get married again." When Brown pointed out that murder always involved unpleasant brushes with the law, Dunn answered, "We can't get in any trouble at all, because I have got legal advice ... from my attorney; he gave me all the advice I wanted."
