Original subtitles

Yes?

I'm Mrs. Hollister.

I see.

Well, if you read the notice here.

I was poor Augusta Bowden's housekeeper before she passed on.

Are you able to find everything all right?

Oh, yes.

I'll manage all right, thank you.

Well, I know you people are making an inventory.

And I was wondering about a vase I was always very fond of.

Everything here will be taken to the county warehouse as soon as I finish my

investigation. Yes, of course, but I... That's where everything goes in a case

like this where somebody dies and there's no will, no air.

I thought I could be of some help.

No, thank you, Mrs. Hollis.

I'm sorry.

Well, then...

Watch the eggs.

Annie, just wait till you see what I found.

I was just starting the inventory of the old Bowdoin house when out popped more

money than you ever saw in your life.

Money? Charlie.

Charlie, how would you like to see $153 ,000 all tucked into one little

envelope? Oh, Ralph.

What'd you do, Ralphie? Rob a bank? Now, wait a minute. This is my money, you

understand. As a matter of fact, it isn't really spending money.

Well, then what on earth is it? What do you mean? It isn't really money.

You remember those old greenbacks, darling?

Currency the government called in years ago?

I guess big amounts like this wouldn't be on it now except under special

circumstances. But I wanted you to see it before I had to hand it over to the

county.

Ralph, you know you're not supposed to bring things home. You could get in

trouble. Oh, darling, what they don't know down at the office doesn't hurt

I just wanted to show you what it looks like.

I put it in there myself and I only stopped at the grocery store.

$150 ,000.

Oh, Ralph, you fool.

Well,

well, would you look at that?

Benjamin Franklin.

Liberty dressed as Columbia.

Of course, I nearly got the scare of my life when I hear they're only good under

special circumstances.

Well, there were circumstances under which even the Continentals were good

during the Revolution.

And I suppose that Robert E. Lee didn't mind taking his salary in Confederate

money.

Mr. Farrell, that's just kidding, ain't it? I mean, the Greenbacks are still

real dull.

Technically, I suppose so.

But what was your purpose in bringing all of this to me, Mr. Nichols?

Well, just call me Charlie.

See, I remembered how you said if I ran across anything really valuable, how

you'd be interested in hearing about it. And it seemed to me that $153 ,000...

Well, I was referring to objects of art.

Being in the export business, I have a large market open in that field, but old

money hardly qualifies.

Where did you find this, anyway?

Well, Morgan passed a grocery store last night, and I see my cousin's car.

He's the one who works for the county.

Yes, well, never mind, Charlie. Maybe I just assume not, no.

There'd be all sorts of risk attached in getting this amount of money exchanged.

But wouldn't it be worth it? I mean, even if we sold out for 70 or 80 cents

the dollar.

Or if you gave me half.

You mean you'd do it?

Oh, how?

How, Mr. Farrell?

Hello there.

Hello, Lloyd.

Norma, it's wonderful seeing you again.

Won't you sit down?

I've been right at the same telephone number.

Of course, I haven't been just sitting waiting there all the time. I know,

Norma. I know how long it's been.

One year.

Uh, two Gibsons, please. Yes, sir.

One with a double onion.

Surely, sir.

That you remembered.

I remember a lot more than that.

You, uh, still work for the county?

Yes, why?

Oh, I don't know.

Something reminded me of it. A rather unusual business opportunity I happened

run into.

Happen to remind you of me?

No.

Just something I thought I'd ask about, that's all. It doesn't matter.

How's your mother?

Seems to me the last time we saw each other was when you just happened to want

to meet some people I worked for.

I thought perhaps when the phone rang this time... Norma, I wanted to see you.

I called you because I can call you now. Because I have the right to.

Because I finally got my divorce.

Sorry, Lloyd.

What was the question you wanted to ask?

Well, I just wondered whether it was difficult to get a name off the county

rolls. That's all. Name of a pensioner.

What sort of name did you want?

Someone very old.

Someone who's going to die.

Now, where should we have dinner? I know a beautiful new steak place.

A routine search of the old man's effects disclosed $148 ,000 in very old

currency, commonly known as greenbacks, a type of money which has long since

been recalled by the United States Treasury.

A handwritten will bequeathed the out -of -date fortune to Albert G. Keller, a

long -time resident of this city.

And what was the amount of old currency you found in that house?

It totaled $153 ,000.

Just... 5 ,000 more than the amount mentioned here.

Yes. That's quite a difference, of course.

So it could be just a coincidence.

But you don't really think it is a coincidence, do you?

Well, neither do I.

The trouble is, most anybody could have gotten that envelope out of my car.

I only stopped at the grocery store, and I locked it.

Mr. Duncan, I take it you haven't yet reported either the discovery or loss of

the currency to anyone?

No, Mr. Mason.

That's why I'm here.

I kept intending to report it all along.

Only now I've got to do something.

You are aware of the fact that when old currency is found as part of an estate,

it automatically becomes redeemable.

Yes, that's what I mean.

The money goes through probate court, and then the Treasury Department redeems

the old bills with new currency to pay the heirs.

Now, if this is part of the money you've found, someone has played a very neat

trick.

They fixed it so you can't prove your story. Can't even prove the money's the

same.

But I've got to.

I've got to tell the truth, even if I lose my job.

I'll do whatever you advise, Mr. Mason.

Only, please help me.

Della.

Carpool.

A little bundle of clothes and a few books.

An old footlocker.

That's all Mr. Ian's owned.

Why, when we found the written will, we all just laughed at the idea of even

needing one.

Then the old gentleman never mentioned his money.

This is a charity place, Mr. Gray.

Samilton, who actually found the greenbacks?

I did.

Clear in the bottom of his footlocker.

First there was an old sweater, then a newspaper, then several big pictures of

his wife. She's been dead a long time.

He told me once... Uh, did you count the money yourself?

Well, there were four of us there besides me.

We all counted.

It was $148 ,000.

Didn't you know?

Miss Hamilton, was there anything unusual about Mr. Ames' death? Did he

unexpectedly?

This is a terminal rest home, Mr. Drake.

I first met Mr. Ames when he came out here from Kansas.

Salina, Kansas, I believe.

That would be about 15 years ago.

Only, why do you ask, Mr. Mason?

Are you representing a relative of his?

No, Mr. Keller.

Not a relative.

I always understood he didn't have any.

Well, I certainly don't have any secrets.

Ames opened a little repair shop over on 8th Street.

I used to drop in and help him with his books.

What little there was of them.

Sometimes we played chess.

Did Mr. Ames ever mention to you that he'd made out a will, a one in your

No.

Oh, he did say several times that he was grateful that I dropped in on him.

And that someday he'd prove it?

Didn't you take him seriously?

Would you have Mr. Mason under those circumstances?

I knew he meant well, that's all. He certainly never gave me any indication

he had any money.

Now, see here, Mason.

You perhaps have gathered that I have quite a successful accounting business

here. That does not mean, however, that I'm not going to accept and thoroughly

enjoy this windfall inheritance.

So if your client is planning to contest Mr. Ames' will... No, Mr. Keller.

No, I don't think my client will contest the will.

Thank you.

You've been very helpful.

Hello?

Yes, this is Mr. Duncan.

What?

Whose house?

Yes, but... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't hang up. Who is this?

Hello. May I speak to Mr. Mason, please?

No, I'm sorry. Mr. Mason has left for the day.

No, Miss Street has gone also.

But if you tell me what it is, I can locate Mr. Mason for you.

Well, this is Ralph Duncan.

Tell him I just got a call.

Somebody claims that a man named Lloyd Farrell knows all about the money.

Tell him I'm going there now.

Could you speak a little slower?

Uh, hello?

Mr. Duncan?

Here, wait a minute, you.

We had a complaint.

Did you just come out of this house?

There's a man in there.

He's been murdered.

Get all the prints you can, Sergeant.

The murder weapon was a sharp instrument of some kind.

Yes, sir.

Oh. Is that the ambulance?

Never mind. I'll get it.

Well,

the counselor.

Good evening, Lieutenant.

I suppose you're going to tell me you have a client here.

You're always very perceptive, Lieutenant.

What's going on?

Well, I'm surprised you have to ask that, Barry.

Usually you know before I do.

Mason.

Hello, Mr. Duncan.

It's all right, officer.

Well, I guess this answers the obvious question, doesn't it?

I might have known you wouldn't be lawyer to a corpse, Barry.

Oh, Lieutenant.

Well, that's an exotic thing to be killed by.

It was under the body.

There's something else.

Okay.

Excuse me, Barry.

Oh, you'll vouch for the continued presence of Mr. Duncan here, of course.

Why should that be necessary?

Mr. Duncan has done nothing wrong here that I know of. Well, don't get all

worked up.

I'll meet him downtown for a statement, that's all.

After all, he was only found here at the scene of the murder.

It's that man, Farrell.

He was dead when I came here.

I got your message.

It said someone called you about him.

Who was it, you know?

Just a woman's voice.

She gave me Farrell's name, said to ask him what happened to the greenbacks.

And hung up.

How did you know Carol?

Know who he was?

I met him once about a year ago.

He wanted to talk about the possibility of buying some of the art objects that I

run across in my investigations.

Art objects like that unusual knife?

I never saw it before.

How did you happen to meet?

Was it just by chance?

I was having lunch, I think.

Charlie introduced me.

Charlie? My cousin, Charlie Nichols.

He's been staying with us for some time now.

What do you have there, Lieutenant?

Something you're not interested in, Perry. Money.

Some very big and very old money.

I guess these greenbacks might be what someone was searching for in there.

Wouldn't you think so?

I don't know.

How many are there?

$5 ,000 worth.

That mean anything to you?

Well, never mind.

Now, if you'll excuse us, Counselor.

I got your message, Mr. Mason.

Hello, Mr. Nichols.

I appreciate your coming in.

Well, anything I can do to help old Ralph, that goes without saying.

Sit down, won't you?

I understand you knew Lloyd Farrell.

Well... I only met him a couple of times, that's all.

One of those times was at luncheon.

Ralph Duncan was there also.

Tell me, was having lunch together your idea?

What?

No, no.

Me? I'm only a middleman.

What do you mean, middleman?

Mr. Mason, I want to help all I can.

So I've been trying to remember.

But see, at this lunch, I was just doing a favor, that's all.

A girl who works down at Ralph's office thought it'd be a good idea for him to

meet Farrell.

It was her idea, not mine.

Who is the girl?

Her name's Norma Brooks.

It just might be here.

This is Mr. Duncan's caseload file.

Bates, Benson.

Bowdoin.

Here it is.

The estate of Augusta Bowdoin.

I'm surprised.

I thought this one had already gone to probate. It should have by now.

As, um...

Someone else been assigned to this case?

Besides Mr. Duncan? No,

I'm sure not.

Then no one has been out there since.

Right.

I suppose that's the key to the Bowdoin house.

Shall I ask the supervisor if it's all right for you to look at this material?

Shall we talk in there?

I was hoping to avoid any red tape, and I thought perhaps you could tell me if

there were any money mentioned in there.

Money? I don't think so.

Mr. Mason, they haven't actually accused Mr. Duncan of anything, have they?

The newspaper said he was just being questioned.

I thought if we looked into that particular estate, we might find answers

some questions and forestall any further embarrassment to Mr. Duncan, that's

all.

I wondered why I was... I wondered why you asked for me.

Well, you are his secretary.

Oh, no.

Ralph didn't have a regular secretary.

I work in lots of other departments.

How long had you known Lloyd Farrell?

What?

Yes, I knew Lloyd.

We were rather good friends at one time, in fact.

Why did you ask Charlie Nichols to bring them together, Lloyd and Ralph?

Lloyd asked me to arrange it.

For what purpose, Miss Brooks?

He wanted to find out how he could bid on the unclaimed effects from some of

estates.

Did it occur to you that Lloyd Farrell might have wanted to transact some

illegal business with Duncan?

It wasn't it at all.

Who told you that?

You said that you and Lloyd Farrell were good friends at one time.

He's Mr.

Mason.

It's very personal.

His death came as a great shock to you, didn't it?

Lloyd Farrell wasn't always very nice.

I knew that.

I'd never known anyone like him.

I couldn't help myself.

Regardless of what he was like, do you honestly think that Ralph Duncan could

have murdered him?

Oh, no.

You know, if no one else has been there at the house, I'd like to take a look at

it.

Would it help, Mr. Duncan?

Hi, Perry. All set.

Baldrake, Miss Brooks. How do you do, Miss Brooks? How do you do?

Now I think we can verify what Duncan found in there all right. And one thing,

in checking the case files, Miss Brooks said that some woman by the name of

Hollister called their office several times asking about Greenbacks.

Some busybody housekeeper.

Uh, Perry, there's also a busywoman named Della Street who called.

Excuse us.

Just in case you're trying to tie the whole thing together and trace the same

money all the way through. The message?

Della got the handwriting report on Mr. Ames' will. They compared it with some

letters the old man had written. And it's the real thing. No forgery there at

all. Hence, no fraud.

Now, you still want to go chasing some phony clue?

Personally, I think your client's lying in his teeth. Ralph Duncan told me the

truth, I'm sure of it.

Well, hello, Perry.

You looking for something?

Never mind, Sergeant.

Just talk to that young lady outside there, if you will.

Come in, come in.

I think I found the place where that money came from.

That $5 ,000 in greenbacks, you remember?

Never underestimate the efficiency of the law.

Your client probably looted quite a number of places like this, Perry.

He did the stealing and Farrell did the fencing.

It's all simple enough.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure. Oh, no?

Well, here.

Just, uh, look what else Duncan took from this place.

I, uh, found the box in the drawer here.

That, um, fancy knife?

The murder weapon, remember?

Wouldn't you say it fits?

Fits well enough to, uh...

Charge Duncan with murder in the first degree?

Tell us why.

Well, on the day she died, I'd found an old bill under Mrs. Bowden's desk.

An old greenback, they're called.

And I figured that if there was a lot of money hidden around there, somebody

might steal it.

And when Mr.

Duncan refused your admission to the house, did you then make any attempt to

find out whether or not he had reported or turned in any hidden money to his

office? Well, when I tried to reach Mr. Duncan at his office, he'd never call

back. And then when I tried to talk to anybody else in the office about the

money, they'd just say there wasn't any.

Thank you, Mrs. Hollister. That'll be all.

Of course, examine.

Well, Mrs. Hollister, you seem to have been both persistent and curious about

that money.

Why? Well, I don't see anything wrong with that, do you?

I mean, after all, money is money.

But you inferred that you'd called the public administrator's office a great

many times.

Now, how many telephone inquiries did you actually make?

Let's see.

Once was a Tuesday afternoon.

Then, well, I'm sure I called Mr. Duncan once after that. So, in reality, you

tried to reach him only twice.

All right.

Now, a moment ago, you identified this knife for Mr. Berger.

As having been a possession of Mrs. Bowden's, that's something you'd seen in

course of your housekeeping there.

That's right.

You see, the old lady had lots of things around like that.

Her husband, her dead husband, was in the army once. He was a colonel, and

were in the Philippines, and, you know... Mrs. Hollister, exactly when did

last see this knife in the Bowden house?

I guess it was when I was dusting those old cases.

Maybe about a year ago.

Now, you certainly cannot swear that this knife has been in that house during

the last year, can you?

No, I... No further questions.

So your firm handled the auditing and tax records for Mr. Farrell for almost

five years, is that correct?

That is correct.

Well, then why did you suddenly terminate your services to him last

I became convinced that Farrell was engaged in selling stolen goods.

Really? What did you think such a thing?

Well, there were just too many items which he had for sale that didn't appear

his records.

And he didn't supply any data to indicate the original purchase.

I see.

I show you now this antique music box, already identified by the police officer

as having been found in the murder room. I ask you if this is one of the items

to which you have reference.

Farrell said he paid $300 for that music box.

The check for it was made out to cash.

When I asked him who the seller was, he told me it was none of my business.

Thank you, Mr. Keller. That'll be all.

Your witness.

I note in Mr. Farrell's records occasional mention of payments for your

services.

You receive $250 a year from Mr. Farrell. Is that correct?

It was my general retainer, yes.

Isn't that rather low payment for the work you did on his accounts?

His wasn't exactly what you'd call a large business.

But you prepared tax returns for Mr. Farrell last year on a declared income

$200 ,000.

Now, do you call that a small business, Mr. Keller?

My fees are flexible, of course.

Apparently so.

Now, you may have heard testimony here regarding certain old currency.

Isn't it true that you recently inherited quite a fortune in such

I did.

From a dear friend.

Don't you think it a coincidence that you inherited the same sort of currency

that found not far from the body of your more recent friend, Mr. Farrell?

I object, Your Honor. That's a completely improper question. We are not

concerned with what the witness thinks.

Sustained.

No further questions.

I must warn you for the last time, Mr. Nichols.

By your continued reluctance to testify, you're being considered a hostile

witness. And consequently, the prosecutor may ask leading questions.

You will answer to the best of your ability under pain of contempt of court.

Yes, sir.

But I already said I'm like a family chauffeur. I pick Ralph up at the office

lots of nights.

Yes, but did you pick him up on the night of the murder?

Well, sure.

Did Duncan come running out of his office building at about five minutes

p .m. on that night?

Yes, sir. Did he tell you to drive him as fast as you could to the Farrell

house?

That's right.

And did your cousin give you any reason for wanting to go there?

He said it was something about some money.

He was going to get it back.

And after driving him to Farrell's house and watching him enter, did you then

wait for him to come out again?

No, no, I didn't wait.

You didn't wait?

Why not?

Because he told me to go, that's why.

He didn't want me to stick around.

You mean he didn't want you to wait for him while he was in the decedent's

house? That's what I said, isn't it?

Yeah.

He certainly did.

Your witness.

He said Helen had dinner waiting, so I told him to go and tell her I'd be late.

Didn't want him hanging around getting involved.

No questions.

Miss Norma Brooks to the stand.

Miss Brooks, in typing Mr. Duncan's reports, did you see anything whatsoever

indicate that he found any money in the Bowdoin house?

No.

No, he didn't say anything about any money.

I show you this music box. I ask if you recognize it.

No, I don't believe so.

About a year ago, Miss Brooks...

Your office conducted an inventory of the estate of one David Mannix. Do you

remember that?

The name sounds familiar.

And shortly thereafter, the police were notified by a neighbor that a valuable

music box had apparently disappeared from the Mannix home during the period

the inventory. Do you remember that?

Oh, yes. I remember some discussion about that in the office.

Miss Brooks, who in your office conducted the inventory of the Mannix

It was Mr. Duncan.

Thank you, Miss Brooks.

Thank you very much.

Your witness.

Mr. Mason, it's almost five o 'clock.

You have no objection to postponing cross -examination?

No objection, Your Honor.

Court will recess until 9 .30 tomorrow morning.

Sorry.

We've got some more on Farrell's flight ticket to Tokyo.

So do I.

Something else came up in the testimony this afternoon.

We'll talk about it while we're driving. We're going someplace?

Sunnydale Restaurant.

Della, we'll meet you back at the office.

Right, Perry.

Then, outside of his pension, Mr. Ames had no other source of income?

He certainly didn't report any on his monthly affidavits.

Here, let me show you.

You see, in order to stay here, a patient must sign these statements of

eligibility.

To qualify for his checks from the county.

Any luck?

Nope. Nobody here recognizes any of the people.

Miss Hamilton, have you ever been someone's last hope?

What for?

Here are photographs of six different people.

Have you ever seen any one of them before?

This

one.

Are you absolutely positive, Miss Hamilton?

This person came to see Mr. Ames at least twice that I can remember.

I can look it up for you on my daily report.

and lock in today's low fixed rate from Ditech .com.

Miss Brooks, does your work give you access to the records of county

who were placed in terminal rest homes?

Yes, sometimes.

Do you ever have occasion to personally contact any of these elderly people?

No, of course not.

The monthly forms they sign are sent through the mail.

Always?

I have here the sworn statement of a nurse, Ann Hamilton.

that on two different occasions you went to the Sunnydale Rest Home to visit an

elderly pensioner named Josiah Ames.

The date of your first visit was on September 21st. Is that when you placed

,000 in old currency in Mr. Ames' footlocker?

I object to that, Your Honor. There's been no possible groundwork laid for

a question. It's irrelevant and immaterial.

Overruled.

Answer the question, witness.

Yes, I put the money there.

A week later, you went back to the rest home and prevailed upon a very old and

tired Mr. Ames to write a holographic will.

Just a few simple words.

Leaving all his earthly belongings to one Albert Keller.

How did you get Mr. Ames to do that?

Did you convince the old man the will was also county procedure?

All right.

I did it.

Lloyd said there'd be so much money.

We'd go away together.

I loved him so much.

Enough to have killed him when you learned he was going away without you?

He wasn't.

Miss Brooks, didn't you hear it stated in this court that the travel agency

Lloyd Farrell a single airplane ticket?

I don't care. I didn't kill him.

Again, I'll ask you, Mr. Keller, why were you chosen to inherit that money?

I don't have to answer that.

On the grounds of self -incrimination in a murder?

I didn't kill Farrell.

All right, I'll rephrase my previous question.

What was to be your share of the inheritance?

None of it.

I didn't want any part of that rotten money.

Farrell was going to get it all back as soon as it was made good in probate

court.

Then why did you allow your name to be used in turning bad currency into good?

It's all going to come out now, anyway.

I... I wrote a couple of checks once on Farrell's account and

altered the balance.

Only he found out about it and kept a photostated record.

For years, he held it over my head.

On the night of the murder?

Was that what you were searching for in Mr. Farrell's house?

Was that to be your payment for helping him this time?

He promised me he'd let me have it before he went to Japan.

But once more he refused, so you killed him for it. No!

Didn't you kill him and then ransack the house, Mr. Keller?

No, listen to me. Farrell was already dead when I got there.

The door was still open. The lights were on.

Tobacco was burning in an ashtray beside the telephone.

By the telephone? What time was that?

I don't know, a little after 6 o 'clock.

That was the only reason I searched for the evidence against me so the police

wouldn't find it.

Only, it wasn't in his desk, and I couldn't get into the safe, and then I

a car drive up outside, so I ran out the back way.

Did you see the person in that car, Mr. Keller?

Yes, I saw a man walking toward the house.

I wanted to tell before, but...

If all this came out, my reputation... Who did you see walking towards the

after you'd seen Mr. Farrell's dead body?

It was him, the defendant.

All right, Counselor.

Your Honor...

Before I move for dismissal of the charges against my client, there is one

matter this witness might well clarify.

Please continue, Mr. Mason.

The burning tobacco you just mentioned, Mr. Keller, was it the sort that might

have been tapped from a pipe?

No.

No.

It was from stubbing out a cigarette.

Just a few shreds.

And the cigarette itself wasn't there?

No.

Now, we have heard here that fingerprints had been removed from the

weapon and perhaps the telephone.

But why would a murderer have removed the stub of a burnt cigarette?

Unless perhaps there was something incriminating on it, an unusual brand

perhaps, or a lipstick.

Hasn't it occurred to you, Mr. Keller, that the person who was there just

you might have been a woman?

I... I can't recall whether there was anything else.

Like, uh, perfume?

Uh, let me think.

I wasn't there.

I didn't do it. I told you I didn't kill him. I didn't.

Order. Order.

Bailiff?

Your Honor, it would seem unlikely that the woman who must have used that

telephone on the night of the murder to call the defendant a few moments after

six was someone Mr. Duncan knew personally.

or he surely would have recognized her voice.

And yet that murderess must have known him, must have been watching him, in

fact, and for some time.

Who else would have realized that a jeweled knife from the Bowdoin estate

point to Ralph Duncan, just as that old currency pointed to him?

Who else would have frantically called Duncan to come to the scene of a murder

that she herself had just committed?

Come and be caught for her crime.

That money was mine.

I found it first.

I worked hard for Mrs. Bowden and then she went and died and they come along

took it all away.

Oh, yes, I know what they did all right. I saw it all.

First that man there and then that little man who stole it out of his car.

And then that awful Mr.

Farrell. He said he wouldn't give me any of it.

And when I screamed at him, he slapped me.

I wish I'd never seen a greenback in

all his dirty life.

So she followed that package of money from Duncan to Charlie to Farrell. And

finally, she went to Farrell and demanded a share.

I wonder how she had the nerve to do a thing like that.

Mrs. Hollister had the nerve, all right, or rather the gall.

She practically made her living by hiring out as a housekeeper to old

robbing them blind.

According to Mrs. Hollister, she had no idea how much money was really involved.

And Mr. Farrell apparently had no idea how little Mrs. Hollister would have

taken for her share.

hers.

Well, what happens to all that money now? Who will get it?

And as a conscientious taxpayer, I guess I should be glad about that. As a

salaried public employee, I am glad.

We're all glad, Henry.
