Were you able to identify the woman that 479 00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:38,830 the decedent was kissing? 480 00:29:39,270 --> 00:29:40,249 No, sir. 481 00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:43,950 Well, what did your investigation of this envelope and picture reveal? 482 00:29:44,270 --> 00:29:48,970 Both the envelope and the picture had on them identifiable fingerprints of the 483 00:29:48,970 --> 00:29:50,250 defendant. Kathy James. 484 00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:54,970 The fatal wound was a depressed fracture. 485 00:29:55,250 --> 00:29:59,370 Now, the bone itself held a clearly defined impression of the instrument 486 00:29:59,370 --> 00:30:00,370 struck the blow. 487 00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:04,130 In my opinion, it's highly probable that an instrument with the same 488 00:30:04,130 --> 00:30:07,710 configuration as the top of its trophy inflicted the fatal wound. 489 00:30:08,110 --> 00:30:09,110 Thank you, Doctor. 490 00:30:11,230 --> 00:30:12,370 What is it, Mr. Mason? 491 00:30:14,590 --> 00:30:18,270 Were there marks from one or two blows in the head, Doctor? Two. 492 00:30:19,210 --> 00:30:23,670 Now, you testified as medical examiner. Your opinion was that death resulted 493 00:30:23,670 --> 00:30:27,510 from a massive subdural hemorrhage caused by the impact of an instrument on 494 00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:29,930 parietal region of the decedent's head. That's correct. 495 00:30:30,310 --> 00:30:34,610 By the two blows combined, or was death caused specifically by only one of the 496 00:30:34,610 --> 00:30:35,529 blows to the head? 497 00:30:35,530 --> 00:30:37,210 By only one of the blows. 498 00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:39,770 The non -fatal blow. 499 00:30:40,570 --> 00:30:42,370 Could a woman have inflicted it? 500 00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:47,370 Easily. While this woman was standing there, facing the decedent, holding the 501 00:30:47,370 --> 00:30:48,370 trophy in one hand. 502 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,880 Do you think this woman, with her rather limited strength, could have inflicted 503 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,880 the fatal blow? 504 00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:57,220 From my experience, I'd say yes. 505 00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:01,920 Aside from the effects of the two blows, the direct effects, was there other 506 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:02,920 brain damage, Doctor? 507 00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:07,200 Well, yes, there was some. Some lacerations to the other side of the 508 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,700 Lacerations in one or in two places on the brain? 509 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,580 Well, just one, I believe. 510 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,540 When a person's head is in motion or is free to move, 511 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,820 A severe impact causes a sort of backlash and the brain is lacerated at a 512 00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:25,440 directly opposite the point of impact. Isn't that so, Doctor?

I didn't. 700 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,960 He was to receive money. 701 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,880 And his deal with Pennington then made it possible for you to blackmail him. 702 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:47,720 All right. 703 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,980 All right, I did blackmail him, but I didn't kill him. I didn't. 704 00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:54,660 And as far as the Pennington deal, I wasn't the only one who was affected by 705 00:41:54,660 --> 00:41:55,680 that. There was Coley Barnes. 706 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,580 Ask him. Just ask him. 707 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,120 You ain't putting no rap in me, Buster. 708 00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:02,220 I didn't go out in no balcony. 709 00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:05,060 And I didn't go sneaking in no back doors, either. 710 00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:12,180 Fry used the $100 ,000 he had defrauded and your $200 ,000 to start the picture 711 00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:13,180 in Mexico, right? 712 00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:16,040 So what if it was my money? It was honest money. 713 00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:20,720 Money I earned racing at every track in the country for the past ten years. 714 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,180 Sure, I backed him. Fry showed me how I could triple my money once the picture 715 00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:27,180 was released. 716 00:42:27,420 --> 00:42:28,480 He was my friend. 717 00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:30,180 And you were his? 718 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,040 You kidding? 719 00:42:32,060 --> 00:42:33,058 Me and him? 720 00:42:33,060 --> 00:42:35,180 They didn't come any closer than the two of us. 721 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,660 Is that why you signed a contract with J .J. Pennington? 722 00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:43,520 Making an assignment of your rights and interest in the film to him? 723 00:42:43,820 --> 00:42:46,140 Literally throwing Anthony Frye the dog? 724 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,920 How did you... All right. 725 00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:56,960 So I boxed Tony in in a rail and let Pennington move up on the outside. So 726 00:42:57,540 --> 00:42:59,460 I had to protect my investment, didn't I? 727 00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:01,040 Against your best friend? 728 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,900 Best friend? The only friend Tony Fry ever had was Tony Fry. 729 00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:09,480 And that chiseling no good would have thrown me to the dogs if he ever got the 730 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,480 chance. 731 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,480 But that's how he was. 732 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,880 Not long Howard Stark was with him, huh? 733 00:43:15,780 --> 00:43:17,980 Fifteen years, that's how long. 734 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,460 But did that matter to Fry? No. 735 00:43:20,940 --> 00:43:22,840 He even dumped Howard Stark. 736 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,720 But that's ridiculous, Mr. Mason. 737 00:43:26,140 --> 00:43:27,540 Tony didn't dump me. 738 00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:31,040 At the very moment he was killed, I was doing some work for him. 739 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,020 Going over the papers he gave you. Compiling the report that J .J. 740 00:43:35,020 --> 00:43:35,698 had demanded. 741 00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:36,700 Well, that's right. 742 00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:40,680 And when you were going through those papers, wasn't there a receipt from the 743 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,780 Writers Guild of America? 744 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,040 A receipt indicating that Anthony Fry had registered the script of that 745 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,480 with his name as the only credited author? 746 00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:55,420 Well, how... And hadn't Fry prepared for J .J. Pennington a tentative credit 747 00:43:55,420 --> 00:44:00,420 list and a list of people he wanted to be placed on salary with the studio? And 748 00:44:00,420 --> 00:44:02,260 wasn't your name missing from both lists? 749 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,760 No, please. 750 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,300 Fry told Coley he was finished with you. 751 00:44:07,780 --> 00:44:09,520 Wasn't that his way of telling you? 752 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,680 Well, he had no right. 753 00:44:12,330 --> 00:44:14,650 Tony Fry never wrote a picture like that before. 754 00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:18,130 He was known for his hard, two -fisted action films. 755 00:44:18,930 --> 00:44:23,890 How could he have written a script so sensitive, so human, that people who've 756 00:44:23,890 --> 00:44:27,190 seen it being shot say it's the finest thing he's ever done? 757 00:44:27,830 --> 00:44:33,050 He promised me. He swore. Coley Barnes financed this film, and he's called The 758 00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:34,050 Silent Partner. 759 00:44:34,690 --> 00:44:38,770 What do they call a man who writes a movie script and allows another man to 760 00:44:38,770 --> 00:44:39,770 full credit for it? 761 00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:41,450 Don't, don't, don't, don't, please. 762 00:44:41,980 --> 00:44:46,020 Would you call him a fool or a weakling who can't stand by his own creation? 763 00:44:46,820 --> 00:44:48,240 Yes, yes, yes, yes. 764 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,200 Yes, I wrote the script.

He liked it. He said he wanted to produce and direct it himself. 768 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,780 And that was before the Spanish project? 769 00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,560 He said he had to do the Spanish picture to fulfill a prior commitment. 770 00:45:11,370 --> 00:45:14,970 But believe me, Mr. Mason, I didn't know that he was going to use Kathy's father 771 00:45:14,970 --> 00:45:18,690 as a patsy to get his hands on money to make my story. I wouldn't have let him. 772 00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:20,790 But you let him put his name on your story. 773 00:45:21,250 --> 00:45:25,470 He said his name carried more weight than it had to be that way for the two 774 00:45:25,470 --> 00:45:26,470 us sharing credit. 775 00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:29,130 Tony's idea of sharing was to take everything. 776 00:45:29,550 --> 00:45:34,750 So when you discovered that Fry was planning to cheat you, it would have 777 00:45:34,750 --> 00:45:36,770 simple for you, a tenant in that same building. 778 00:45:37,050 --> 00:45:40,450 Oh, no.
