:37:00
Any footprints on the chairs?
:37:02
- What are you driving at, Nick?
- Me for downtown.
:37:05
It looks to me as if Whitey must have
been lying on the floor when he got it.
:37:09
Clarke's a fine sportsman.
He could've at least shot him on the rise.
:37:13
I'll send the boys for the body.
:37:16
Let's suppose, for the moment,
that some third party...
:37:20
...saw Paul and Whitey fight.
:37:22
Let's assume that the third party
saw Paul go down. Out cold.
:37:26
The gun had been kicked right
at his feet, let's say.
:37:29
All right, let's say.
:37:31
Our third party could have picked up
the gun, slugged Whitey from behind...
:37:36
...which accounts for that bruise
on the back of Whitey's head...
:37:39
...and taken the book from his pocket.
- Sorry, Nick, it won't jell.
:37:42
Why should this party
of the third party shoot Whitey...
:37:45
...after he knocked him cold and took
the book? If there was a book.
:37:48
I'll say that Whitey came to
and recognized him.
:37:51
Our third party had to shoot him,
leaving Paul to take the rap.
:37:55
As far as I'm concerned, there isn't
any third party and there isn't any book.
:37:59
I'm sorry to pick on your friend,
but I'm booking him.
:38:01
If I didn't, I'd have the DA
down my throat, and is he a pill.
:38:05
I'd like to have a look at that stuff
Whitey had on him.
:38:08
Sure, out here. It's just the usual junk.
Help yourself.
:38:13
But what was Whitey doing in here,
and how did he get in?
:38:15
Hello, lieutenant.
What's going on here?
:38:18
Evening, Nick. Hello, Mrs. Charles.
:38:21
Can you figure heads or tails
on this affair?
:38:23
- I just walked into the arena...
- I was in the ticket office.
:38:26
What more do you want?
:38:28
Relax. Relax, Fred.
They won't keep us long.
:38:31
Hello, lieutenant. Oh, you here too.
What's this, a convention?
:38:35
Cheer up, maybe the lieutenant
will let you sell tickets.
:38:38
All right. All right.
This is all we found on Barrow.
:38:41
If there was a record book,
it crawled away.
:38:43
Well, what record book?
There's no record book.
:38:45
We'll take you first,
since you're so upset.
:38:48
Where were you from 9 to 10?
:38:50
I was in the ticket office.
I never left it. Ask Maguire.
:38:53
Right. He was in the ticket office.
He never left it.
:38:56
- Doing what?
- Checking up on the ticket sales.
:38:58
He was checking up
on the ticket sales.
