:23:01
...then, all of a sudden,
she said I was.
:23:03
Finger woman. We'll play that up too.
:23:08
I was home with my wife when
the policeman was killed.
:23:12
Does your wife visit you regularly?
:23:14
My wife? Yes.
:23:17
We're divorced.
:23:21
Well, we'd better duck
that angle too.
:23:24
You duck many things...
:23:25
...you don't believe me.
- Listen...
:23:27
...I talked to your mother.
She's a fine old woman.
:23:30
She believes you. But I need proof.
:23:34
I got no proof.
- Yes, I know.
:23:38
What will do with
this thing is this...
:23:40
...we'll play up the mother angle
and the finger woman...
:23:43
...and maybe police and
political corruption too.
:23:46
I didn't say that.
What's the difference?
:23:48
It's a good angle.
:23:50
It's probably true anyway.
:23:52
You don't want a wishy-washy story.
:23:54
This thing has to have
sock. Mass appeal.
:23:56
It's the only way
we can help you...
:23:58
...get sympathy and public support.
:24:02
You leave it to me.
:24:04
Okay, Warden.
Thanks.
:24:10
That's all, Frank.
:24:21
Are there any guilty men up here?
:24:24
Not if you hear them tell it.
:24:27
They sure make a hard
pitch, don't they?
:24:29
99 years is a long time.
:24:32
Maybe he'd have been better
off if he got the chair.
:24:57
Mr. McNeal is busy but I'll tell
him you liked the story.
