1:19:00
you kill him somewhere else
and put him on the tracks.
1:19:02
Two possibilities,
and I personally buy the second.
1:19:07
- You're way ahead of me, Keyes.
- Look, Walter, it was like this.
1:19:10
They killed the guy...
the wife and somebody else...
1:19:15
and then the somebody else took the crutches
and went on the train as Dietrichson
1:19:18
and then the somebody else jumped off
1:19:20
and then they put the body on the tracks
where the train had passed.
1:19:22
An impersonation, see.
1:19:24
And a cinch to work.
1:19:26
Because it was night,
1:19:27
very few people were about,
they had the crutches to stare at
1:19:30
and they never really looked at the man at all.
1:19:32
It's fancy all right, Keyes.
Maybe it's a little too fancy.
1:19:35
Is it? I tell you it fits together
like a watch.
1:19:39
And now let's see
what we have in the way of proof.
1:19:41
The only guy that really got a good look
at this supposed Dietrichson...
1:19:44
is sitting right outside my office.
1:19:46
I took the trouble
to bring him down here from Oregon.
1:19:51
- Come in, Mr. Jackson.
- Yes sir, Mr. Keyes.
1:19:54
- These are fine cigars you smoke.
- Two for a quarter.
1:19:56
- That's what I said.
Did you study those photographs?
- Yes, indeed.
1:20:00
I studied them thoroughly.
Very thoroughly.
1:20:02
Did you make up your mind?
1:20:03
Mr. Keyes, I'm a Medford man.
Medford, Oregon.
1:20:05
Up in Medford we take our time
making up our minds...
1:20:07
Well, you're not in Medford now.
We're in a hurry.
1:20:09
Let's have it.
1:20:10
- Are these photographs
of the late Mr. Dietrichson?
- Yes
1:20:14
Then my answer is no.
1:20:16
- What do you mean no?
- I mean this is not the man
that was on the train.
1:20:19
- Will you swear to that?
- I'm a Medford man. Medford, Oregon.
1:20:22
And if I say it, I mean it,
and if I mean it, of course I'll swear it.
1:20:24
There you are, Walter.
There's your proof.
1:20:27
Oh, this is Mr. Neff,
one of our salesmen.
1:20:28
Please to meet you, Mr. Neff.
Pleased indeed.
1:20:30
- How are you?
- Very fine, thank you. Never was better.
1:20:32
Sit down, Mr. Jackson.
1:20:34
How would you describe the man
you saw on that platform?
1:20:37
Well, I'm pretty sure
he was a younger man
1:20:40
about 10 or 15 years younger
than the man in these photographs.
1:20:43
Dietrichson was about 50,
wasn't he, Walter?
1:20:45
51, according to the policy.
1:20:47
The man I saw
was nothing like 51 years old.
1:20:50
Of course,
it was pretty dark on that platform
1:20:53
come to think of it,
he tried to keep his back towards me.
1:20:56
- But I'm positive just the same.
- Thank you, Jackson.
1:20:59
Of course you understand
this matter is strictly confidential.
