00:05:16There I stood on the 18th green.
00:05:18With only 289 shopping days left.
00:05:22The irony of it all.
00:05:24Speaking of shopping days, I was doing some shopping myself this afternoon.
00:05:27And I said to myself, says I, one of these days she's going to say yes.
00:05:30And when she does, I want to be ready.
00:05:32So...
00:05:34Oh, not now, Jeff.

00:10:06not yet but i've been waiting simply for hours it won't be much longer i don't know what my
00:10:12gentlemen friends will think my being here so long with all you men i'm afraid you're perfectly safe
00:10:18i'm afraid so too thank you now we'd like to have your account of
00:10:25what occurred tonight
00:10:29nacelli and i used to meet at the saunter every thursday night why did you
00:10:33well oh come on open up this is no gambling prosecution thanks well to arrange a little
00:10:42friendly game west had played with us a few times he knew about the taunton he was going to play with
00:10:46you tonight no that's why he was mad at nacelli
00:10:49spread that up a little bit will you oh west was a piker player he'd lost a nacelli and wanted a
00:10:55chance to get his own back nacelli was sick and tired of his whining and refused to bring him along
00:10:59with us west insisted the boy was i mean he'd been drinking i don't think he realized west followed us
00:11:06out of the restaurant when we got to the top of the steps he swore at nacelli struck him and nacelli struck
00:11:10back then west pulled a gun fired and ran what did he do with the gun he dropped it into my hands oh
00:11:16into your hands i was frightened things happened so unexpectedly yes we understand all i could think
00:11:22of was to get away from there and uh what did you do with the gun oh i hid it in my purse and then when
00:11:27the officer came arnie made me give it to him happy well that'll be all for a moment if you'll wait in
00:11:34the next room certainly
00:11:43how many people know we have the gun besides the officer and ourselves well there's those two there
00:11:47the taffy peddler and that flippity-tongued taxi pirate well all of them as material witness but the
00:11:53woman woman too but she admitted hiding the gun in her purse that makes her an accessory after the
00:11:57bank i realize that but i'm not interested in prosecuting a foolish woman for something she did
00:12:01in a moment of hysteria besides i want to keep the defense guessing guessing about the gun until the
00:12:07trial the moment we arrested her they'd know why then there's material witnesses there be the whole
00:12:13lot of them and see that no word about the gun leaks out oh i'll gag me sir so i don't blab in me sleeve okay
00:12:27ah good morning beautiful lovely morning it's going to rain

00:13:20oh marion yes
00:13:30what is
00:13:52judge who's the best criminal lawyer in the city alan adams alan adams
00:14:00what do you think of this what harry west is going to be defended by alan adams
00:14:16well that means we're in for a real battle
00:14:21what do you suppose west got the money to hire him i've been wondering about that myself
00:14:30i've been neglecting you terribly lately yes you have i was thinking of you were you
00:14:57here no what's this at the past of the trial that you can see your husband-to-be opposed the great alan adams
00:15:08jeff do you really believe that harry west is guilty beyond any doubt
00:15:13but uh but what well the paper says adams is confident well i'm afraid the confident mr adams is in for
00:15:24surprise surprise you'll see when you come to the trial oh
00:15:27i'll be there jack i'll be there every day oh that'll be fine
00:15:35i have no desire of involving this trial unnecessarily
00:15:45i believe that the simple facts are sufficient to convince you beyond reasonable doubt
00:15:53it's all first with us edward person to the stand
00:16:12and you're the head waiter yes i'm the head waiter at the thought
00:16:22on the night of the 18th mr norman mr nacelli and miss fame came into the restaurant
00:16:27but a half hour later a man came in and asked where they were is that man in the courtroom
00:16:31yes that's the man that's all
00:16:40i saw that man come in and i saw him leave he was arguing with poor mr nacelli
00:16:44i'd know him anywhere mr west i mean thank you
00:16:50your witness
00:16:51miss what how many people came in the restaurant while you were there i haven't the vaguest idea did
00:17:04i come in i don't think so did a man with a long black beard come in i don't know then why are you
00:17:11certain harry west was there because i saw a young lady stop him right by my table and arguing on his
00:17:17way out no on his way in did you know the young lady no i just glanced at it and you happened to
00:17:25glance at mr west when he went out yes i suppose you could describe this young lady the one you just
00:17:31glanced at oh of course she was wearing a gold embroidered before evening gown it had puff sleeves
00:17:37a square neckline small buckles and a gold metal cloth belt she had a stable trim throw all the
00:17:42hems were hand rolled and was made out of ten and three eight yards and you just glanced at this
00:17:53woman well how could you possibly tell how much material there was in account of the eighth of a
00:17:57yard because it was exactly like one i made for myself that's why i glanced at it
00:18:01and now miss watson is this the lady hiya jack the attorney is leaving the witness by direct
00:18:08interest this thing i rephrase my question do you see the young lady in the court your honor
00:18:16i did speak to a young lady but she's not here and has no connection with this case
00:18:23that's all miss watson your honor i asked the witness be instructed to answer that question
00:18:30i withdraw my question your honor the witness will answer the question what question do you see the
00:18:37young lady in the court well no i don't believe that she's here but i'd know the vent if i saw it
00:18:53that's all i was on my way to the theater to sell my taffy i saw him pull the gun and shoot mr
00:19:03miss ellie just like the traffic guy said he didn't give him a chance i've seen the whole thing
00:19:10west had been drinking it was very quarrelsome he struck miss ellie
00:19:16flipped out a gun and pulled the trigger
00:19:19i heard a whistle blowing and i came running as i rounded the corner i bumped into west so i held
00:19:25him thank you your witness
00:19:36when you caught mr west did you search him yes i did thoroughly yes did he have any weapon on his
00:19:41person particularly a gun he did not that's all
00:19:49your honor the state has established that the murder of nacelle used a gun mr west was captured
00:19:55within 200 feet of the fountain entrance without any weapon no gun has been introduced in court
00:20:00and there has been no effort made apparently to find this weapon therefore i demand an amelius
00:20:05mr mr i have the status prepared to call witnesses covering the point in question the state may proceed
00:20:11i'd like to offer in evidence this gun and ask that it may be marked for exhibit
00:20:18no dick it may be no mark
00:20:21all mistakes everyone saying to the stand please

00:20:35please evelyn saying be seated
00:20:40saying you were present at the time of the shooting i was
00:20:43will you tell us in your own words what occurred immediately after the shot was fired when the gun went
00:20:48off i was frightened stunned i didn't realize what had happened and then harry mr west thrust the gun into my hand
00:20:59is this the gun i believe so yes
00:21:06go on please and then he mr west ran off well i was confused terribly so i thrust the gun into my purse
00:21:14and hurry down the stairs your honor your honor i demanded this witness be placed under arrest as an
00:21:19accessory after the fact unless the state has promised her immunity in return for a testimony
00:21:23promise nothing then i demand that she be placed in custody perhaps her story won't be so clear when
00:21:28she faces prison your honor i am pissed upon her she's convicted herself but she did it in a moment
00:21:33of hysteria your honor silence phillips placed the witness under arrest this court will now adjourn for a brief
00:21:40reset
00:21:54well young man i hope you realize what we're up against now
00:21:59i do
00:22:02if i put you on the stand will you tell the jury the truth

00:22:22harry what are you doing here oh harry i i sent for her get her out of here please now we've got to
00:22:28have an understanding the three of us you've written this boy's life he refuses to let me use what i know
00:22:33of his past and if i put him on the stand powell will rip him apart on cross-examination i'll
00:22:38refuse to answer exactly and every man in that jury will think you're hiding something and they'll convict you
00:22:43how much would it help if he did talk i'd stand one chance in a thousand of getting him off with
00:22:56the life sentence it's not worth it then i'll have to put her on the stand i won't let you drag her name
00:23:00into this oh harry please like i need to this i'll do the pain oh but listen dear i get her out of here please

00:23:52you're quite right i fired test bullets from the gun and compared them to the
00:23:57slot taken from the cellist body and as an expert on ballistics it's your conclusion that this is the
00:24:03murder weapon it is your witness no question that's all
00:24:14your honor state red
00:24:26your honor
00:24:29gentlemen of the jury the able attorneys for the state have called witnesses presented experts have

00:24:44experts no circumstantial evidence i believe my client i believe this murder was cunningly planned
00:24:52and ingeniously executed in such a manner as to throw the blame on an innocent boy my only defense
00:24:58will be the honest story of a young man call harry west harry west for the stand

00:39:25Thanks.
00:39:34Hey, am I seeing you before, baby?

00:39:39Come on, Tommy, let's get going.
00:39:40Ouch!
00:39:43The coat in the car up here, Justice.
00:39:45Oh, thanks.

00:39:49Hi.
00:39:54Hi.
00:40:03Let's go.
00:40:09Hello, Arnie.
00:40:25Oh, gee, it's good to be here.
00:40:30How'd everything go?
00:40:31Perfect.
00:40:32Who's the girl?
00:40:33Oh, Mary.
00:40:34Meet Arnie Norman.
00:40:35This is Mary Cohen.
00:40:37Oh, so you're Arnie Norman.
00:40:39Hello.
00:40:40Haven't I seen you before?
00:40:42Yeah, I saw you in the visiting room.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:44I've seen this dame someplace else, boss, but I ain't sure yet where.
00:40:48But I'll get you, baby.
00:40:49I never forget the face.
00:40:52I wouldn't forget a face like yours, either.
00:40:55Careful, Arnie.
00:40:56She's got a boyfriend.
00:40:57Uh-huh.
00:40:57In Joliet.
00:40:59How very convenient.
00:41:00What did you say?
00:41:03I said she could lay low here until the heat blows over.
00:41:05Then maybe we can take her over the line with her.
00:41:07Over the line?
00:41:08I'm sure you don't think I'm going to parade you around the city, do you?
00:41:11I'm not a good bear myself right now.
00:41:13Oh, Arnie, the police haven't learned.
00:41:14No, it isn't the cops.
00:41:15It's Nacelli's gang.
00:41:17They're trying to squeeze me on those IOUs.
00:41:18Oh, Arnie.
00:41:19Oh, they won't find me here, I guess.
00:41:22Still, never mind that.
00:41:23You kids are hungry, aren't you?
00:41:24Yeah, Dom.
00:41:25Tommy.
00:41:26Have, uh, let's just throw something together, will you?
00:41:30Your clothes are over in the bedroom, then.
00:41:32Thanks.
00:41:32Come on, kid.
00:41:33I'll loan you something with a little staff doing it.
00:41:34Okay.
00:41:41There.
00:41:42How's that?
00:41:43Fine.
00:41:44Thanks.
00:41:46Come in.
00:41:47Aren't you ready yet?
00:41:51Mary is.
00:41:51I'll be ready in a minute.
00:41:52Well, come on and have a cocktail with me while she finishes dressing.
00:41:55Sure, run along.
00:41:56Hey, you look swell in that outfit.
00:42:03I'm glad you like it.
00:42:04Mm-hmm.
00:42:06Well, I guess the drink will go swell after that ride of yours.
00:42:09Thanks.
00:42:11Here's to freedom.
00:42:12Mary?
00:42:13To freedom, Mr. Norman.
00:42:15The name is Arnie.
00:42:17Arnie.
00:42:20You can sit down and let her bring the coffee.
00:42:23Okay.
00:42:24There you go.
00:42:25Down here.
00:42:26Thanks.
00:42:31There we are.
00:42:32Is that comfortable?
00:42:33Yes, thank you.
00:42:34Good.
00:42:44Don't I rate a drink?
00:42:46Sure.
00:42:47Hey, Tommy, give the doctor a drink, will you?
00:42:56Hendricks?
00:42:58Thanks, Thomas.
00:42:59They look well.
00:43:00They're not so bad.
00:43:06Cigarette, please.
00:43:13This is certainly grand of you, Arnie.
00:43:14Oh, don't mention it, baby.
00:43:18I'd like you to do me just one more favor, huh?
00:43:20Name it.
00:43:21Know me some clothes and a couple of dollars, and I'll be on my way in the morning.
00:43:25Uh-uh.
00:43:26Nothing doing.
00:43:26You're staying right here.
00:43:33Well, if you insist.
00:43:35Hello, Geoffrey, me lad.
00:43:56Hello, everything turn up.
00:43:57Have you located her?
00:43:58No, I haven't found your vanishing lady friend.
00:44:01My hunch is that she's with the Duchess and Arnie Norman.
00:44:05Which might be anywhere, since Arnie can't be found.
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:10You know, there's a rumor that Packy Lacey, with blood in his eye, is wearing out his arches
00:44:15looking for Arnie.
00:44:17Packy Lacey?
00:44:18Where does he fit in?
00:44:19Why, that murdering blackguard of a racketeer put up all the money the late Mr. Noselli gambled
00:44:24with.
00:44:26Oh.
00:44:27And, uh, two and two makes...
00:44:29Twenty-two.
00:44:32He's over in my office now.
00:44:34Suppose we go over and have a bit of a talk with him.
00:44:36Well, sure.
00:44:37Come on.
00:44:45I've told you a thousand times, I don't know where Arnie is.
00:44:49I wish I did.
00:44:50Why?
00:44:50He owes me a lot of dough.
00:44:51Thirty-eight thousand dollars.
00:44:53He lost that in Noselli, didn't he?
00:44:54He owes it to me.
00:44:56Look, if you find him, tip me off, will you?
00:44:59If you should locate him first, would you let us know?
00:45:00Sure.
00:45:02After I get through collecting.
00:45:05All right, that's all.
00:45:07Uh-huh.
00:45:09Can I go now?
00:45:10On your way.
00:45:13Did Arnie kill Noselli?
00:45:15You had Wes Simpson to burn for that, didn't you?
00:45:17Yeah, but why should I call your scratches?
00:45:27I wonder if he would let us know.
00:45:28He will, but he won't know it.
00:45:32Johnny boy, I want Paki Lacy's phone tapped and a man on his tail starting now.
00:45:39Now, Jeffrey, me lad, we've got the police and the crooks looking for Arnie.
00:45:43How can we miss?
00:45:53Why don't you play the tray, Duchess?
00:45:55That's right.
00:45:57Just what I needed.
00:45:59You fathead.
00:46:00Now, Duchess.
00:46:02Well, I'm sick and tired of being cooped up here playing that idiot's delight.
00:46:05Well, why don't you try making yourself useful like Mary?
00:46:07Come on, let's dance.
00:46:12All right.
00:46:13How about the first one with you, Mary?
00:46:15Oh, not now, Arnie.
00:46:17I promise I'll tell you.
00:46:18Oh, he can wait.
00:46:18Oh, but really.
00:46:22Okay, Duchess.
00:46:23Why, you.
00:46:35Why don't you lay off the Duchess?
00:46:37She's got too much on it.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:39And that Mary dame, too.
00:46:41Someday I'm going to place her.
00:46:42Yeah, in the wrong place.
00:46:44That girl's all right.
00:46:46I knew a lot of guys said that about dames.
00:46:49Yeah?
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:51Now they're wearing numbers.
00:46:56No.
00:46:57No, not that way.
00:46:59Tuck it in.
00:47:00Like this.
00:47:03I never knew there was so much to it.
00:47:05Most men don't.
00:47:08Now take your coat off, Lester, and I'll fix the lining for you.
00:47:11You often take all this trouble, not for me.
00:47:14I like to.
00:47:15There's a needle and thread on the dresser.
00:47:17You ought to get away from here.
00:47:25Why?
00:47:27That Arnie Norman, he's bad medicine.
00:47:30And why are you staying?
00:47:34Well, I...
00:47:35I'm too old to make a change.
00:47:38But I wouldn't want my kid to...
00:47:41I mean that...
00:47:44Lester, is this your son?
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:50Kind of clean looking, ain't he?
00:47:52Yeah, he is.
00:47:53I ain't seen him since, uh...
00:47:56Since he was little.
00:47:58I don't even know where he is now.
00:48:02You know...
00:48:04A fella can't be so awfully bad.
00:48:06He's got a son like that.
00:48:09Sometimes...
00:48:10A man can undo a lot.
00:48:13Not everything.
00:48:14Yeah, but something.
00:48:15Yeah, if he tries to make it up...
00:48:19By doing one big thing.
00:48:26Something you wanted, Tommy?
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:30You know...
00:48:31I've been trying to think where I've seen you.
00:48:33Now I got it.
00:48:34Yeah?
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:35It was, uh...
00:48:39Nah.
00:48:40That dame was a blunt.
00:48:45Oh, put him on.
00:48:58Hello?
00:48:59Jeffrey Ladd.
00:49:00Our friend Packy just had a phone call.
00:49:04Arnie Norman is hiding upstate.
00:49:07And I have the address right here before me.
00:49:10All right, hold everything.
00:49:11I'll be right over.
00:49:15Yes, but we've got to be careful.
00:49:17We might put her in danger.
00:49:18Right, but, uh...
00:49:19Let's not give me the address.
00:49:22I'll find out what I can alone.
00:49:23Alone nothing.
00:49:25I'll go along, would you?
00:49:26And we'll put the electric gear on.
00:49:28Fine.
00:49:29Come on.
00:49:32But, Arnie, I don't quite get you.
00:49:34Well, it's like this, baby.
00:49:35I'm looking forward to big fingers.
00:49:37With you and the deathess to lead the sucker down.
00:49:40Oh.
00:49:41Arnie.
00:49:42Yeah?
00:49:43Come here.
00:49:45Close the door.
00:49:56How did it?
00:49:57You and I have a little talking to do.
00:50:00Have we?
00:50:02When are you going to get rid of her?
00:50:04Oh, now, you wouldn't want me to kick a friend of yours out just when...
00:50:07Don't pull that.
00:50:08I've been watching you.
00:50:10So what?
00:50:11If you know what's good for you.
00:50:12Oh, that sounds like a threat.
00:50:14Maybe it is.
00:50:15But you'd better tell her to pack up.
00:50:18We're all packing up tonight.
00:50:20All of us?
00:50:21You mean you're going to take her along?
00:50:23Oh, she might be useful.
00:50:24All right.
00:50:27Take her and leave me.
00:50:30Now, that's an idea.
00:50:33But remember, if I talk...
00:50:40Same old Dutcher.
00:50:43Can't take a little kidding, huh?
00:50:45Not from you, Arnie.
00:50:46I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:50:47We'll drop her off someplace outside the hot zone.
00:50:49Then you and me over the border, huh?
00:50:51You mean it?
00:50:52Sure I do.
00:50:53Gee, Arnie, you can be the grandest fellow when you want to.
00:50:58But if you ever try to double-cross me...
00:51:01Why, Dutcher's...
00:51:03Come on, snap out of it.
00:51:04I've got to go to the city.
00:51:06What for?
00:51:07Get the bankroll out of the safety deposit boxes.
00:51:09Okay.
00:51:10See you later.
00:51:10Bye.
00:51:11Bye.
00:51:12That ought to be the place.
00:51:36How about using that barn for a listening post?
00:51:38Oh, that's perfect indeed.
00:51:40Arnie Norman in the flesh.
00:51:49We can get the mic planted while he's gone.
00:51:51Oh, but there'll be others in the house there.
00:51:52We'll have to take a chance.
00:51:53Come on.
00:51:54There you are.
00:52:09All ready to go.
00:52:13How can I get this thing inside the place?
00:52:15You don't have to.
00:52:17Anywhere again, the outside will do.
00:52:18But better still, could you get it when it's too windy.
00:52:21Way that gibberish thing has sharper ears than my wife.
00:52:25Okay.
00:52:26But, Geoffrey, just in case you might get plugged,
00:52:29don't you think you'd better leave me the two cigars you got left?
00:52:35You're a cheerful cousin.
00:52:36Good luck, me boy.
00:52:38Bye.
00:52:38Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:39Bye.

00:52:43Bye.
00:52:45Bye.
00:52:45Bye.
00:52:48Bye.
00:53:13Oh, hello, Aletha.
00:53:14Where did I put these, Mary?
00:53:17Over there.
00:53:24It's the evening paper.
00:53:25Well, thanks.
00:53:47The boy doesn't look like a murderer, does he?
00:53:52No.
00:53:53No, he doesn't.
00:53:54Read it to me, will you, while I finish putting those things away.
00:54:03Harry West, the mystery man killer, will go to his death at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:10This was made a certainty when the governor refused the plea of Alan Adams.
00:54:19That boy.
00:54:20He looks young enough to be your son, doesn't he?
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:24Lester, that boy isn't going to the chair.
00:54:27No?
00:54:28No.
00:54:29Because you're going to the police with me.
00:54:31The police?
00:54:32To admit that you helped him Harry West.
00:54:34You're from headquarters, then.
00:54:35You're a...
00:54:36I don't have a...
00:54:37When you're the same, then you'll have to help me, Lester.
00:54:40Well, I wouldn't dare.
00:54:42Arnie would kill me.
00:54:43These will protect you.
00:54:44They'd arrest me for lying at the trial.
00:54:47I'll give you a break if you're in safe, doesn't he?
00:54:49He's a smart gal.
00:54:51No, no.
00:54:52I can't double-cross Arnie.
00:54:54They're going to double-cross you.
00:54:55They're going over the line tonight without you.
00:54:57Lester, that boy might have been your son, and he's going to the chair because you lied.
00:55:02Arnie.
00:55:03He made me do it.
00:55:04He made me.
00:55:05Lester, I'm going to the police, alone if I must, and tell them what I know.
00:55:08Come with me and I'll help you.
00:55:09Stay here and you'll be caught with the rest.
00:55:10Well?
00:55:11Oh.
00:55:12I'm afraid.
00:55:13I wish your son could see you now.
00:55:15I'll go with you.
00:55:16Come now.
00:55:17Quit before Arnie gets back.
00:55:18Ah!

00:55:21Okay, next week.
00:55:22Let's packy lazy.
00:55:30As your two behave yourself, and you won't be hurt.
00:55:34But I know that you will not be hurt.
00:55:36Would you like them to go with me?
00:55:38Well, let's do it.
00:55:39Let's do it.

00:55:46You're to behave yourself and you won't be hurt.
00:55:50Where's Arnie?
00:55:51He went to the city.
00:55:53All right, get inside.
00:55:55Go on, get inside.
00:55:59I'm going over there.
00:56:00Sit down, Jeffrey lad. Everything's under control.
00:56:03You notice a feeling I have what with Paki on the job?
00:56:06We'll learn plenty when Arnie gets back.
00:56:09Well, maybe you're right.
00:56:10I'm sorry I have to do this, girls.
00:56:17No hard feelings.
00:56:40I'm sorry.
00:57:10What's that?
00:57:37Oh, maybe a little static.
00:57:39I wonder if, uh, what was that?
00:57:49Stand up!
00:57:52Go on.
00:57:53In there.
00:57:54Drop that gun.
00:58:12Drop it.
00:58:15And you.
00:58:17Come on.
00:58:18Now get in there.
00:58:24One thief out of you, I'll blow you wide open.
00:58:27That guy was going to squirrel the cop.
00:58:43That double-clothed dame.
00:58:45I know.
00:58:45I fluttered the listener.
00:58:46I socked him.
00:58:47Save it, save it.
00:58:48We've got to blow quick.
00:58:49Where do they go?
00:58:49In there.
00:58:51Take it easy, Jeffrey.
00:58:53You know, the program don't start until Arnie gets back.
00:58:56No, but it's waiting.
00:58:57It's on my nerves.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59Well, you'd get on mine if I had any.
00:59:01It is lucky for you, I like your cigars.
00:59:05Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this machine?
00:59:08Oh, well, just to keep you easy, I'll check and make sure.
00:59:11You're right.
00:59:29Our tin wenchiff has kicked the bucket.
00:59:32Can you fix it?
00:59:33Well, I don't know.
00:59:35It is colder than me wife's feet.
00:59:41The cop's a wife of it.
00:59:50We've got to beat it.
00:59:51Wait for me in the car.
01:00:11I knew you'd come back.
01:00:24Sure.
01:00:25Where's Paki?
01:00:26What happened?
01:00:26Wendy, I got wife through a few things.
01:00:28How'd he find out where we were?
01:00:30Probably from your friend, the cop.
01:00:33My friend?
01:00:34Go ahead, talk your head off.
01:00:36I just fixed their microphone.
