:46:02
everything that happened.
:46:04
Came down here last night around 2.15
lookin' for my son-in-law.
:46:10
You were pretty worked up, huh?
:46:13
I'll say. I told him last month
if he laid a hand on Morgan again
:46:16
I'd slap him silly.
:46:18
Go on.
Go on, let's have it all, Jiggs.
:46:23
Well, that's all there was.
:46:26
The door was unlocked,
I walk in, look around,
:46:30
nobody home, so I walk out.
:46:33
With his body.
:46:35
- Whose body?
- Paine's.
:46:38
That's sure smart figurin',
Lieutenant.
:46:41
- I tell you...
- Never mind the lies, Jiggs!
:46:44
We've got every one of your moves.
:46:46
You took the body to the river,
:46:48
knocked out the watchman on the pier
and dropped Paine in the water.
:46:51
Oh, so I knocked out
a watchman too, huh? That's fine!
:46:54
OK, now let me tell you something.
:46:57
I didn't see Paine. If I had seen him
I'd have taken a poke at him,
:47:01
I ain't denyin' that. He deserved it.
:47:03
But I left this place
two minutes after I got here.
:47:06
Then I picked up a fare
three minutes later on the corner:
:47:09
Congressman Reynolds.
:47:11
Took him up to the Astor Hotel.
:47:14
- Told me...
- Check on that, Klein.
:47:16
- Yes, sir.
- Sure, check!
:47:18
Check all you want.
:47:20
And what time do you claim
you got to the Astor Hotel, Jiggs?
:47:23
About 2.40.
:47:25
Anybody see you around there?
:47:28
Yeah. Uh... Pat Rafferty
and Hymie Berg. They're taxi drivers.
:47:33
The congressman doesn't answer
in his room. Want me to run him down?
:47:37
No. No, we'll check later.
:47:39
The pier watchman was slugged at 3am
according to reports. Is that right?
:47:43
Mm-hm. Yes.
:47:45
That gives Jiggs Taylor 20 minutes
between 2.40 and 3 o'clock
:47:48
to come back here from
the Astor Hotel and do his stuff.
:47:51
He couldn't have come back here
from the Astor, killed Paine,
:47:54
lugged the body out to the car,
driven down to the pier
:47:57
and slugged the night watchman
by three o'clock, not in 20 minutes.
