:43:09
Cigarette cases, yes, but l've never
seen it happen to a hymn book before.
:43:12
And this bullet stuck
among the hymns, eh?
:43:15
l'm not surprised. Some of those hymns
are terrible hard to get through.
:43:19
l've stuck in them myself
before now.
:43:21
l'm not complaining, Sheriff.
''Hymns that have helped me.''
:43:24
That's a good one!
That's fine.
:43:27
And to think l was drinking his
champagne only half an hour before.
:43:31
lt's a lesson to us all: not to mix
with doubtful company on the Sabbath.
:43:35
And how did you escape?
:43:37
lf you look through the window,
you'll see.
:43:39
They put the body
in the dressing room.
:43:42
When l came to, l borrowed this suit
and pinched his car.
:43:48
l don't want to hurry you,
but shouldn't we take steps?
:43:51
This is serious. Otherwise, l wouldn't
put myself in your hands..
:43:54
- with a murder charge hanging over me.
- Never heed the murder.
:43:58
You'll be able to convince
Scotland Yard of your innocence..
:44:00
as easily
as you've convinced me.
:44:02
l'll need a short statement l can
forward to the proper authority.
:44:07
l have someone coming
from the police station to take it down.
:44:09
Thank you.
:44:13
- Are you wishing to see me?
- lndeed, l am.
:44:15
Do you think l enjoy playing for time
with a murderer?
:44:19
- ''Murderer''?
- Certainly.
:44:21
You're under arrest on the charge
of willful murder..
:44:24
of a woman unknown in Portland
Mansions, London on Tuesday last.
:44:27
- Take him over to the county jail.
- Every word of my story is true.
:44:31
We are not so daft in Scotland
as some smart Londoners may think.
:44:35
Do you think l believed your
cock-and-bull story about the professor?
:44:38
He's my best friend in the district.
Get me Professor Jordan.
:44:40
lf the professor didn't shoot me,
where did that bullet come from?
:44:42
That's easy. From one of
your pursuers on the moor.
:44:45
- lsn't that so, lnspector?
- l had a shot at him myself.
:44:47
l demand you allow me to telephone the
High Commissioner for Canada in London.
:44:50
You better do that from London.
You'll be there soon enough.
:44:52
lt'll save you the cost
of a trunk call.
