1
00:00:46,567 --> 00:00:47,966
Thank you.
2
00:00:48,767 --> 00:00:51,520
Oh, did you include the paragraph
on the cost of the drilling rig?
3
00:00:51,687 --> 00:00:55,566
And the estimates of the well in case
it has to go deeper than 5,000 feet?
4
00:00:55,727 --> 00:00:57,763
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
5
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:00,644
You wanna see if this covers it,
Miss Howard?
6
00:01:00,807 --> 00:01:02,559
Thank you.
7
00:01:08,607 --> 00:01:10,882
I think this ought to be a very
profitable investment
8
00:01:11,047 --> 00:01:12,765
for both of us, Miss Howard,
and I hope--
9
00:01:12,927 --> 00:01:13,962
[DOOR CLOSES]
10
00:01:15,767 --> 00:01:18,440
Now, remember, this is the last time
you come here.
11
00:01:18,607 --> 00:01:23,840
Well, all right, Bruce. If that's the way
you feel, I'll stay out of your way.
12
00:01:24,007 --> 00:01:29,639
I just wanted to make sure we had
everything down in black and white.
13
00:01:31,167 --> 00:01:32,725
Roxy.
14
00:01:33,847 --> 00:01:38,841
- Change your mind? Ha-ha.
- I ought to kill you.
15
00:01:47,047 --> 00:01:49,163
Do you see the model house,
Mr. Mason?
16
00:01:49,327 --> 00:01:50,555
Yes.
17
00:01:50,887 --> 00:01:53,355
Well, now look
at the swimming pool.
18
00:02:01,327 --> 00:02:02,999
Now do you see the girl?
19
00:02:03,967 --> 00:02:07,357
- Quite a bit of her, as a matter of fact.
- That's Roxy Howard.
20
00:02:07,527 --> 00:02:09,518
She go with the model house?
21
00:02:09,687 --> 00:02:12,997
No, Mr. Mason.
She goes with my husband.
22
00:02:18,767 --> 00:02:21,918
You come up here quite often,
Mrs. Granger?
23
00:02:22,367 --> 00:02:24,961
I guess you think it's wrong of me
spying on them like this.
24
00:02:25,127 --> 00:02:29,803
No, not wrong.
Just very cruel to yourself.
25
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:34,076
I thought so too at first.
26
00:02:34,767 --> 00:02:37,804
I never knew that hate had a taste
all of its own
27
00:02:37,967 --> 00:02:41,084
that kind of fills your throat
and chokes you.
28
00:02:41,247 --> 00:02:44,603
But it doesn't get you back
the man you love.
29
00:02:44,927 --> 00:02:47,316
Mr. Mason, that's why I asked you
to come up here.
30
00:02:47,487 --> 00:02:50,240
Plainly because I thought if you saw
what I was fighting
31
00:02:50,407 --> 00:02:52,363
that maybe you'd take my case.
32
00:02:52,687 --> 00:02:55,406
There are any number
of good divorce lawyers.
33
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:58,843
I don't want a divorce. I want Bruce.
34
00:02:59,367 --> 00:03:01,323
Oh, Mr. Mason,
he's worth fighting for.
35
00:03:01,487 --> 00:03:04,285
You just can't give up
15 years of married life,
36
00:03:04,447 --> 00:03:07,996
of love and companionship,
of being part of another person,
37
00:03:08,167 --> 00:03:11,318
just because one of you
makes a silly mistake.
38
00:03:12,647 --> 00:03:14,603
You're a very unusual woman.
39
00:03:14,767 --> 00:03:18,555
No, just a woman
who wants her husband.
40
00:03:19,247 --> 00:03:21,283
What would you like me to do?
41
00:03:22,287 --> 00:03:24,642
Do you see all this property,
Mr. Mason?
42
00:03:24,967 --> 00:03:26,241
Well, all this property belongs
43
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:28,637
to the Sylvan Glade
Development Company.
44
00:03:28,967 --> 00:03:32,801
- Did they put up the model home?
- Yes, but that's as far as they'll go.
45
00:03:32,967 --> 00:03:35,242
They think they found oil
on the property now.
46
00:03:35,407 --> 00:03:37,523
What's all this got to do
with Miss Howard?
47
00:03:37,687 --> 00:03:40,201
Well, the Sylvan Glade Company
didn't have enough money to drill
48
00:03:40,367 --> 00:03:44,485
so Miss Howard persuaded
my husband to finance the operation.
49
00:03:44,647 --> 00:03:50,165
And if they find oil on the property,
she gets half his profits.
50
00:03:50,487 --> 00:03:52,284
Not bad.
51
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:58,560
- She own that model home?
- No, they're just letting her live in it.
52
00:03:59,127 --> 00:04:01,595
I understand she has a very good
friend in the company.
53
00:04:01,767 --> 00:04:04,679
- Any idea who this friend is?
- No.
54
00:04:04,847 --> 00:04:07,725
Apparently Miss Howard
has thought of everything.
55
00:04:07,887 --> 00:04:09,559
Not quite.
56
00:04:09,727 --> 00:04:11,797
Not if I can get you to block the deal.
57
00:04:11,967 --> 00:04:13,639
How do you expect me to do that?
58
00:04:13,807 --> 00:04:15,843
By buying stock
in the Sylvan Glade Company.
59
00:04:16,007 --> 00:04:19,477
Oh, I'll put up the money. But once
you're a stockholder, you'll find a way.
60
00:04:20,287 --> 00:04:21,640
You believe that if Miss Howard
61
00:04:21,807 --> 00:04:25,004
can't realise a fast profit on your
husband, the romance will sour.
62
00:04:25,167 --> 00:04:28,079
That's right and then she'll play
the part of the nagging wife.
63
00:04:28,247 --> 00:04:30,363
And when she does,
I'll be there waiting
64
00:04:30,527 --> 00:04:32,722
with laughter and companionship.
65
00:04:32,887 --> 00:04:35,879
And I'll be playing the part
of the other woman.
66
00:04:36,167 --> 00:04:37,600
What if your husband finds out?
67
00:04:37,767 --> 00:04:40,042
Oh, but he mustn't find out.
That would ruin everything.
68
00:04:40,207 --> 00:04:43,199
That's why I want you to do this all
in your name.
69
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:44,800
Well, Mr. Mason?
70
00:04:44,967 --> 00:04:47,401
- I'll do everything I can to help.
- Oh, thank you.
71
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:50,798
But buying that stock
could prove very expensive.
72
00:04:50,967 --> 00:04:53,435
I'll get the money for it somehow.
73
00:05:03,727 --> 00:05:06,116
Where's your son-in-law, Lutts?
We wanna start the meeting.
74
00:05:06,287 --> 00:05:11,441
Oh, Herbert. Will you come on out
here so we can get down to business?
75
00:05:11,607 --> 00:05:13,563
Sorry. I was just getting
the minutes in order.
76
00:05:13,727 --> 00:05:17,720
Well, now, before Herbert
reads the minutes
77
00:05:17,887 --> 00:05:19,684
of our Sylvan Glade
Development Company,
78
00:05:19,847 --> 00:05:21,644
I have a couple
of announcements to make.
79
00:05:22,327 --> 00:05:24,397
I've asked Mr. Granger
and Miss Howard
80
00:05:24,567 --> 00:05:29,322
to attend this meeting so we can close
the oil deal that we have with them.
81
00:05:29,487 --> 00:05:33,400
We also have another guest,
Mr. Perry Mason.
82
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,200
What's he doing here?
83
00:05:35,367 --> 00:05:38,643
Mr. Mason has bought
some of my stock in the corporation.
84
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:41,436
Wait a minute, he's a lawyer,
isn't he?
85
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:44,041
LUTTS: That's right.
- Who are you representing?
86
00:05:44,647 --> 00:05:46,683
The stock is in my name.
87
00:05:47,047 --> 00:05:50,596
Well, you're representing somebody.
You didn't just drop out of thin air.
88
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,406
Oh, Sam Elkins. For once,
let's have a meeting
89
00:05:53,567 --> 00:05:56,400
without all the fuss and feathers.
We've got important business here.
90
00:05:56,567 --> 00:05:58,603
Business that means money
in all our pockets.
91
00:05:58,767 --> 00:06:02,601
Now, Mr. Granger here is prepared
to finance our drilling operations
92
00:06:02,767 --> 00:06:04,837
as soon as we've passed
a corporate resolution
93
00:06:05,007 --> 00:06:09,398
to exploit the oil and mineral rights
of our county property.
94
00:06:09,607 --> 00:06:11,757
- We have agreed that, in exchange--
- Uh, Mr. Chairman.
95
00:06:11,927 --> 00:06:13,963
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
96
00:06:14,127 --> 00:06:15,401
I'm confused.
97
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:17,922
I was under the impression
you were going to subdivide
98
00:06:18,087 --> 00:06:20,442
that county property
for tract houses.
99
00:06:21,087 --> 00:06:22,725
I don't care
what your impression was.
100
00:06:22,887 --> 00:06:26,562
We're here to talk money,
not impressions, and oil is money.
101
00:06:27,167 --> 00:06:29,601
And how do we know
there really is oil?
102
00:06:30,287 --> 00:06:31,879
MASON:
Most speculative.
103
00:06:32,247 --> 00:06:35,239
- How many shares does he have?
- Let's vote him out of the room.
104
00:06:35,407 --> 00:06:36,886
I move we proceed at once
105
00:06:37,047 --> 00:06:40,596
to exploit the mineral and oil rights
of our tract number 136.
106
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,565
Wait, before you vote,
107
00:06:43,727 --> 00:06:48,039
better have a look at your corporate
bylaws, Paragraph 2, Section 16.
108
00:06:48,687 --> 00:06:50,518
"It will be binding
upon this corporation
109
00:06:50,687 --> 00:06:53,155
to secure the unanimous consent
of all stockholders
110
00:06:53,327 --> 00:06:56,399
before undertaking any activity
not specifically identified
111
00:06:56,567 --> 00:06:58,478
with the construction
of home dwelling units
112
00:06:58,647 --> 00:07:01,798
and the acquisition
of property therefore."
113
00:07:05,687 --> 00:07:08,440
I am unalterably opposed
to the business
114
00:07:08,607 --> 00:07:12,122
now before this board.
Good day, gentlemen.
115
00:07:15,847 --> 00:07:17,246
Can he do this to us?
116
00:07:17,407 --> 00:07:19,125
How much did he pay you
for those shares?
117
00:07:19,287 --> 00:07:21,801
- Why, that's none of your business.
- It's all of our business.
118
00:07:21,967 --> 00:07:24,197
If you hadn't let him buy in,
this wouldn't have happened.
119
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:26,517
Well, they're my shares
I can do what I like with them.
120
00:07:26,687 --> 00:07:29,155
Suppose there is no oil?
I've got to protect myself.
121
00:07:29,327 --> 00:07:31,716
- And sell us down the river, is that it?
ELKINS: Yes.
122
00:07:31,887 --> 00:07:34,117
- Maybe you and Mason--
- Where do you think you're going?
123
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,606
Isn't it obvious? The deal's off.
124
00:07:35,767 --> 00:07:38,201
Oh, no, it isn't.
They'll figure something out.
125
00:07:38,367 --> 00:07:41,120
As far as we're concerned,
the deal is still on
126
00:07:41,287 --> 00:07:44,882
unless you want me to do business
with your wife.
127
00:07:47,127 --> 00:07:51,803
Listen to me, Mr. Mason. I need
that stock. I've got to get it back.
128
00:07:51,967 --> 00:07:54,083
I'll give you $36,000--
129
00:07:55,167 --> 00:08:00,002
Hello? Mr. Mason. Hello? Hello?
130
00:08:03,207 --> 00:08:04,526
He won't even listen to me.
131
00:08:04,687 --> 00:08:07,565
He can make 10 percent
on his investment in one day
132
00:08:07,727 --> 00:08:09,001
and he won't even listen to me.
133
00:08:09,167 --> 00:08:11,442
Papa, don't get so excited.
It's bad for you.
134
00:08:11,607 --> 00:08:14,201
Come on, eat your dinner
before it gets cold.
135
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:17,996
What does the man want?
What's he trying to do to me?
136
00:08:18,167 --> 00:08:22,046
Oh, so you had to buy steak
at $1.34 a pound.
137
00:08:22,207 --> 00:08:24,402
What's the matter with you?
You think I'm made of money?
138
00:08:24,567 --> 00:08:26,842
- Oh, please.
- Isn't it enough that I feed you
139
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:30,397
and your husband, and clothe you,
let you live in my house rent-free?
140
00:08:30,567 --> 00:08:32,285
Do you have to bleed me dry?
141
00:08:32,447 --> 00:08:33,846
Vinnie didn't mean any harm,
George.
142
00:08:34,007 --> 00:08:38,159
Oh, you keep out of this.
Oh, I don't know. I don't understand.
143
00:08:38,327 --> 00:08:41,956
Everybody tries to take advantage
of me. You, Elkins, Mason.
144
00:08:42,127 --> 00:08:44,402
Did Mason say why he wouldn't
sell the stock back to you?
145
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,000
Oh, some nonsense
146
00:08:46,167 --> 00:08:50,001
about wanting to keep the property
clear for development. Ha.
147
00:08:50,167 --> 00:08:53,398
But, Herbert, you're always out there,
fixing up that model house.
148
00:08:53,567 --> 00:08:55,398
You ever seen Mason
hanging around?
149
00:08:55,567 --> 00:08:58,684
- No, not that I remember.
-Ever see anybody?
150
00:08:59,927 --> 00:09:01,804
What about Mrs. Granger, Herbert?
151
00:09:03,087 --> 00:09:05,203
Sybil Granger?
Bruce Granger's wife?
152
00:09:05,367 --> 00:09:07,642
- It's nothing. Forget it.
- What do you mean forget it?
153
00:09:07,807 --> 00:09:10,321
- Did you see her there or didn't you?
- Yeah.
154
00:09:10,487 --> 00:09:12,523
Every day last week, wasn't it?
155
00:09:13,247 --> 00:09:16,398
- Oh, Vinnie, please.
- But you told me.
156
00:09:16,567 --> 00:09:18,637
Papa, she's up there
every afternoon on the hilltop
157
00:09:18,807 --> 00:09:20,604
in back of the model house.
158
00:09:20,767 --> 00:09:22,598
She watches it with binoculars.
159
00:09:22,767 --> 00:09:24,564
- The house?
- Mm-hm.
160
00:09:24,727 --> 00:09:27,002
Well, there's nothing
to see at the house--
161
00:09:27,167 --> 00:09:31,797
Wait a minute. We're letting
Roxy Howard live at the house.
162
00:09:31,967 --> 00:09:35,596
And Bruce Granger's
been paying her a lot of attention.
163
00:09:35,767 --> 00:09:38,884
He's up there too, Papa.
Herbert has seen him.
164
00:09:39,047 --> 00:09:43,757
- Why didn't you tell me this before?

buying stock in my company.

- I did.

Well, by the powder tattooing
on the skin

of powder particles in the clothing.

you're about to give is the truth,
333
00:20:42,607 --> 00:20:43,756
the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?
334
00:20:43,927 --> 00:20:44,962
- I do.
- State your name.
335
00:20:45,127 --> 00:20:47,357
- Jerome Keddie.
- Be seated.
336
00:20:48,967 --> 00:20:50,764
Could you tell us your occupation,
Mr. Keddie?
337
00:20:50,927 --> 00:20:52,804
I'm a driver
for the Skyline Cab Company.
338
00:20:52,967 --> 00:20:57,006
On the third day of this month, were
you operating taxicab number 761 ?
339
00:20:57,167 --> 00:20:58,236
I was.
340
00:20:58,407 --> 00:21:01,604
And where were you at about
4:45 on the afternoon of that day?
341
00:21:01,767 --> 00:21:03,962
Well, I was running back empty
towards the city
342
00:21:04,127 --> 00:21:07,199
from out near the new freeway area
on the county highway.
343
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:10,518
A woman flagged me down.
She sure was nervous and upset.
344
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:14,043
I ask you to look around this courtroom
and tell us if that woman is here.
345
00:21:14,207 --> 00:21:15,276
There she is.
346
00:21:15,447 --> 00:21:17,836
BURGER: Let the record show that the
witness pointed to the defendant,
347
00:21:18,007 --> 00:21:19,122
Sybil Granger.
348
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:22,126
Now, Mr. Keddie.
Where did you take Mrs. Granger?
349
00:21:22,287 --> 00:21:24,403
To the Brent Building
in Los Angeles.
350
00:21:24,567 --> 00:21:28,116
I'm gonna show you a piece of paper
marked Exhibit A
351
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,198
and ask if you can identify this.
352
00:21:30,367 --> 00:21:33,279
- Yes, it's the receipt I gave her.
- What does the receipt show?
353
00:21:33,447 --> 00:21:35,517
It shows the trip number,
that it was my cab
354
00:21:35,687 --> 00:21:39,726
- and that the fare is $2.95.
- Thank you.
355
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:42,759
Your witness.
356
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:49,637
Now, Mr. Keddie.
357
00:21:49,807 --> 00:21:53,004
- Do you know what this is?
- Yes, it's one of my trip sheets.
358
00:21:53,167 --> 00:21:55,681
Would you mind explaining
what that means?
359
00:21:55,847 --> 00:21:58,964
Well, we have to keep a record
of all of the fares we pick up.
360
00:21:59,127 --> 00:22:01,482
- Police orders.
- Thank you.
361
00:22:01,647 --> 00:22:04,957
I'd like this marked for exhibit,
Your Honour.
362
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:16,756
Mr. Keddie, this trip sheet
is dated the 3rd of May.
363
00:22:16,927 --> 00:22:18,519
- Is that correct?
- That's right.
364
00:22:18,687 --> 00:22:20,564
This passenger you picked up
on the highway,
365
00:22:20,727 --> 00:22:22,319
the one you claim
was the defendant,
366
00:22:22,487 --> 00:22:24,239
that was one of your first trips
of the day?
367
00:22:24,407 --> 00:22:28,036
Oh, it was the third. Number 971.
It's right here on the sheet.
368
00:22:28,207 --> 00:22:29,606
I see.
369
00:22:29,767 --> 00:22:33,123
How does it happen, then,
that this receipt,
370
00:22:33,287 --> 00:22:38,759
the receipt you gave the defendant,
is for trip number 984?
371
00:22:38,927 --> 00:22:40,804
- What?
- Wait a minute.
372
00:22:40,967 --> 00:22:43,356
Wait a minute.
Let me see that thing.
373
00:22:43,967 --> 00:22:46,276
- Now let me have the receipt.
- Just a moment.
374
00:22:46,447 --> 00:22:50,201
The court would like to look
at those papers too, Mr. Prosecutor.
375
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:52,961
I'm sorry, Your Honour, of course.
376
00:22:54,927 --> 00:22:59,443
Well, Mr. Keddie, I notice that trip
number 984 on your sheet is one
377
00:22:59,607 --> 00:23:02,201
which you have marked the destination
to be Whittier and Wilshire.
378
00:23:03,887 --> 00:23:08,278
Oh, I remember that trip. A couple
of ladies I picked up on Sunset.
379
00:23:08,447 --> 00:23:10,756
They wanted to go to a certain place
in Beverly Hills,
380
00:23:10,927 --> 00:23:12,406
only they didn't know the address.
381
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:16,321
So I drove them around until,
all of a sudden, one of them says:
382
00:23:16,487 --> 00:23:18,603
"Stop right here. Here it is."
383
00:23:18,767 --> 00:23:23,283
So I stopped.
They got out and paid off.
384
00:23:23,447 --> 00:23:25,563
Was one of those women
this defendant?
385
00:23:29,847 --> 00:23:33,203
Well, you know how it is.
386
00:23:33,367 --> 00:23:35,676
You pick up a lot of people.
387
00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:38,680
I can't remember them too well.
388
00:23:39,087 --> 00:23:41,806
The point is, Mr. Keddie,
can you swear
389
00:23:41,967 --> 00:23:45,676
that the woman you picked up
on Sunset wasn't the defendant?
390
00:23:51,007 --> 00:23:52,235
No.
391
00:23:53,127 --> 00:23:54,799
I can't swear it.
392
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:57,162
That's what I wanted to know.
393
00:23:57,567 --> 00:24:00,877
Mr. Prosecutor, you must admit
that the testimony of this witness
394
00:24:01,047 --> 00:24:03,277
has become hopelessly impaired.
395
00:24:03,447 --> 00:24:05,915
You would hardly be in a position
to put him in front of a jury
396
00:24:06,087 --> 00:24:07,884
to make an absolute identification.
397
00:24:08,047 --> 00:24:10,163
At the moment,
I'm more interested in learning
398
00:24:10,327 --> 00:24:13,080
how this trap was set.
And I intend to find out.
399
00:24:13,247 --> 00:24:15,124
Meantime, I'd like the defendant
bound over,
400
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,482
indicted on a charge of murder
in the first degree.
401
00:24:17,647 --> 00:24:19,797
Well, not unless you have
additional evidence.
402
00:24:19,967 --> 00:24:23,403
The testimony of this witness
has been destroyed.
403
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:26,686
All right, Your Honour, then I move
that this hearing be dismissed
404
00:24:26,847 --> 00:24:28,200
while I get additional evidence.
405
00:24:28,367 --> 00:24:31,086
Motion is granted.
Court is adjourned.
406
00:24:35,167 --> 00:24:37,158
Did you notice? He left a vapour trail.
407
00:24:37,327 --> 00:24:39,397
He'll be back with a warrant
inside of five minutes.
408
00:24:39,567 --> 00:24:41,000
I didn't fool him one little bit.
409
00:24:41,167 --> 00:24:43,556
- Why did you lie to me, Mrs. Granger?
- I didn't.
410
00:24:43,727 --> 00:24:45,399
You told me
that shot came from a distance.
411
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:48,206
- The officer must've made a mistake.
- No, not Tragg.
412
00:24:48,367 --> 00:24:51,120
If he said there were powder burns,
why, there were powder--
413
00:24:52,087 --> 00:24:54,555
Well, speak of the devil.
414
00:24:55,447 --> 00:24:58,007
Congratulations, Mason.
A brilliant performance.
415
00:24:58,167 --> 00:25:00,920
Oh, it's just that the opposition
wasn't up to par.
416
00:25:01,087 --> 00:25:03,521
Oh, really?
I thought Burger did all right.
417
00:25:03,687 --> 00:25:05,006
Now, I ask you, Tragg.
418
00:25:05,167 --> 00:25:06,600
He charged my client with murder
419
00:25:06,767 --> 00:25:09,156
and never established one link
between her and the victim.
420
00:25:09,327 --> 00:25:12,558
He's shown no actual proof
that Lutts and Mrs. Granger even met.
421
00:25:12,727 --> 00:25:14,365
Well, you've got a point there.
422
00:25:14,527 --> 00:25:16,757
You mind if I think that over
for a minute?
423
00:25:16,927 --> 00:25:19,521
You know what you're really
thinking about, don't you, Tragg?
424
00:25:19,687 --> 00:25:22,155
How you can delay us
until Burger shows up with his warrant.
425
00:25:22,327 --> 00:25:24,795
What--?
Whatever gave you that impression?
426
00:25:24,967 --> 00:25:28,004
Well, for one thing, that deputy
coming toward us right now.
427
00:25:28,167 --> 00:25:29,600
What...?
428
00:25:30,847 --> 00:25:32,724
Oh, you mean this.
429
00:25:32,887 --> 00:25:36,641
Matron, Mrs. Granger is being held
for another hearing.
430
00:25:36,807 --> 00:25:40,925
Well, see you later, counsellor.
431
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:47,679
I'm sorry, Mrs. Granger.
You'll have to go with the matron.
432
00:25:49,927 --> 00:25:51,440
GRANGER:
Sybil.
433
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:58,996
Please, my husband.
434
00:26:14,567 --> 00:26:16,364
I'm sorry.
435
00:26:18,887 --> 00:26:21,355
I must go now.
436
00:26:29,047 --> 00:26:31,117
I'm Bruce Granger.
437
00:26:31,367 --> 00:26:33,005
Is there anything I can do to help?
438
00:26:33,167 --> 00:26:35,397
Aren't you a little late, Mr. Granger?
439
00:26:35,567 --> 00:26:37,364
Come on, Della.
440
00:26:51,287 --> 00:26:53,517
This is the spot, Perry.
441
00:26:56,687 --> 00:26:58,325
See Della?
442
00:26:58,967 --> 00:27:02,801
This is the only place in a direct line
with the hilltop that isn't obscured.
443
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:12,797
- How do we get in here?
- Lutts' son-in-law might have a key.
444
00:27:12,967 --> 00:27:14,559
Let's try him.
445
00:27:17,487 --> 00:27:20,718
Those are all the keys
my father-in-law had.
446
00:27:20,887 --> 00:27:23,799
That was a Master padlock
on that shack, Perry.
447
00:27:23,967 --> 00:27:26,686
- None of these keys will fit.
- I'm sorry.
448
00:27:26,847 --> 00:27:28,485
If there's nothing else
we can do for you...
449
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:29,966
As a matter of fact, there is.
450
00:27:30,127 --> 00:27:32,800
Did your father-in-law
have any enemies?
451
00:27:32,967 --> 00:27:35,037
It's all right, Herbert.
452
00:27:35,327 --> 00:27:38,080
George Lutts wasn't the easiest man
in the world to get along with.
453
00:27:38,247 --> 00:27:39,441
Not everyone liked him.
454
00:27:39,607 --> 00:27:41,563
- Did you?
- Ha-ha.
455
00:27:41,727 --> 00:27:43,524
- Now, you listen to me.
- Never mind, Vinnie.
456
00:27:43,687 --> 00:27:46,406
No, I'm gonna tell this smart lawyer
a thing or two.
457
00:27:46,567 --> 00:27:49,127
Do you think Herbert enjoyed
working for my father?
458
00:27:49,287 --> 00:27:51,596
He had better offers
every day of the week.
459
00:27:51,767 --> 00:27:54,361
You know why he stuck?
To please me.
460
00:27:54,727 --> 00:27:57,036
- I see.
VINNIE: No, I don't think you do.
461
00:27:57,207 --> 00:27:59,198
How could you, Mr. Mason?
462
00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:03,121
You didn't have a father
who was sick. Sick about money.
463
00:28:03,287 --> 00:28:06,802
Who was twisted every which way
whenever he had to spend a nickel.
464
00:28:06,967 --> 00:28:09,003
But he was my father
465
00:28:09,167 --> 00:28:11,727
and Herbert
stayed with him to please me.
466
00:28:13,127 --> 00:28:17,040
Thank you very much, Mrs. Dean.
Come on, Della. Excuse me.
467
00:28:17,207 --> 00:28:19,198
[SOBBING]
468
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:26,043
You've been under a strain, Vinnie.
It won't last much longer.
469
00:28:41,567 --> 00:28:43,797
Why, lieutenant,
I'm surprised at you.
470
00:28:43,967 --> 00:28:46,925
- A Peeping Tom, at your age.
- Ha.
471
00:28:47,087 --> 00:28:48,679
Beautiful pair of glasses.
472
00:28:48,847 --> 00:28:49,962
Is that what you wanted
to talk to me about?
473
00:28:50,127 --> 00:28:51,958
Uh-huh. One of my men
found them in a ditch.
474
00:28:52,127 --> 00:28:54,960
Not far from where Lutts was shot.
475
00:28:55,127 --> 00:28:58,597
Notice the initials there.
476
00:28:58,767 --> 00:29:01,201
- These belong to Sybil Granger.
- Uh-huh.
477
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:05,645
And Mason said that we couldn't prove
that she even knew George Lutts.
478
00:29:05,807 --> 00:29:08,082
Don't tell me the lab found
Lutts' fingerprints on these.
479
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:10,238
Oh, but all over.
480
00:29:10,407 --> 00:29:15,765
I wonder how Mr. Mason
will explain that at the next hearing.
481
00:29:22,647 --> 00:29:24,603
Mr. Redfield,
let me understand you.
482
00:29:24,767 --> 00:29:27,565
You say that this exhibit
is the defendant's gun,
483
00:29:27,727 --> 00:29:31,037
that it has her fingerprints on it and it
was found near the victim's body.
484
00:29:31,207 --> 00:29:33,801
Yes, sir, and it was registered
in the name of Bruce Granger.
485
00:29:33,967 --> 00:29:36,527
- Had it been fired?
- Yes, sir, twice.
486
00:29:36,687 --> 00:29:38,803
One of the cartridges
was a Peters .38 Special.
487
00:29:38,967 --> 00:29:41,162
The other one was a U.M.C.
That was the last one fired.
488
00:29:41,327 --> 00:29:43,318
Now, as ballistics expert
for this department,
489
00:29:43,487 --> 00:29:44,840
you checked the fatal bullet
490
00:29:45,007 --> 00:29:47,999
to determine from which weapon
it had been fired. Isn't that correct?
491
00:29:48,167 --> 00:29:50,601
I did. It was fired from that gun.
The one you're holding.
492
00:29:50,767 --> 00:29:51,961
Thank you.
493
00:29:52,127 --> 00:29:53,958
Cross-examine.
494
00:29:55,927 --> 00:29:59,715
Mr. Redfield, you stated
there were two shots fired
495
00:29:59,887 --> 00:30:00,922
from the murder weapon.
496
00:30:01,087 --> 00:30:03,362
- Yes.
- Which one was the fatal bullet?
497
00:30:03,527 --> 00:30:05,040
The first one.
The Peters .38 Special.
498
00:30:05,207 --> 00:30:08,085
Well, what happened to the bullet
from the second shot, the U.M.C.?
499
00:30:08,247 --> 00:30:10,397
We were unable to find that bullet.
It went wild.
500
00:30:11,247 --> 00:30:13,966
You want us to believe
that the defendant
501
00:30:14,127 --> 00:30:16,038
stood less than two feet
away from the victim,
502
00:30:16,207 --> 00:30:17,276
hit him with the first shot
503
00:30:17,447 --> 00:30:19,199
and completely missed him
with the second?
504
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:21,323
I'm here to report the facts
as I find them.
505
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:23,159
You can interpret them
any way you want.
506
00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:28,436
All right, let's interpret them my way,
if you don't mind.
507
00:30:28,607 --> 00:30:30,040
Now, suppose the first bullet,
508
00:30:30,207 --> 00:30:33,279
the bullet that killed Lutts,
was fired from a distance.
509
00:30:33,807 --> 00:30:35,604
Then you'd have no powder burns
on the body.
510
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:38,725
Suppose the second shot
was a blank.
511
00:30:38,887 --> 00:30:40,684
- A blank?
- Yes, if it were fired
512
00:30:40,847 --> 00:30:45,125
directly into the wound,
say, from a distance of, oh, 19 inches,
513
00:30:45,287 --> 00:30:47,357
wouldn't that explain
the powder burns?
514
00:30:47,527 --> 00:30:49,404
That would explain the powder burns,
Mr. Mason,
515
00:30:49,567 --> 00:30:51,478
but we could establish
what happened in a second.
516
00:30:51,647 --> 00:30:54,241
Oh? How?
517
00:30:55,607 --> 00:30:59,361
A blank cartridge has a paper wadding
to hold the powder in place.
518
00:30:59,527 --> 00:31:01,597
The coroner would find it
in the wound.
519
00:31:01,767 --> 00:31:05,476
- And none was found in the body.
- None at all.
520
00:31:05,647 --> 00:31:07,638
Now, you've got to understand
that a paper wadding
521
00:31:07,807 --> 00:31:10,924
has a tremendous penetrating force.
It can go through thick cardboard.
522
00:31:11,087 --> 00:31:13,317
Then it should certainly
penetrate fabric.
523
00:31:13,487 --> 00:31:14,715
Without question.
524
00:31:14,887 --> 00:31:16,764
Very interesting.
525
00:31:17,087 --> 00:31:22,525
If it please the court, I should like
to test Mr. Redfield's thesis.
526
00:31:35,527 --> 00:31:38,121
Your Honour,
does counsel for the defence
527
00:31:38,287 --> 00:31:39,720
presume to know more
about ballistics
528
00:31:39,887 --> 00:31:42,037
than Mr. Redfield,
a recognised expert?
529
00:31:42,207 --> 00:31:45,005
I see no harm in this experiment,
Mr. Burger.
530
00:31:45,167 --> 00:31:47,476
As I understand it,
it is solely for the purpose
531
00:31:47,647 --> 00:31:52,562
of clarifying your witness's testimony.
Surely you can't object to that.
532
00:31:52,727 --> 00:31:54,126
Proceed, Mr. Mason.
533
00:31:57,087 --> 00:32:02,923
Now, Mr. Redfield, would you tell
the court what this is, please.
534
00:32:06,167 --> 00:32:07,646
- Yes?
- It's a blank.
535
00:32:07,807 --> 00:32:10,605
Well, would it fit this gun,
the murder weapon?
536
00:32:10,767 --> 00:32:12,598
It should. It's a .38.
537
00:32:12,767 --> 00:32:15,486
Would you load it for me, please?
538
00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:22,604
Thank you.
Now, Mr. Redfield, if I were to--
539
00:32:22,767 --> 00:32:23,882
Oh, excuse me.
540
00:32:24,047 --> 00:32:28,757
If I were to fire this blank
into this fabric, what would happen?
541
00:32:28,927 --> 00:32:31,805
You'd have your powder burns,
but you'd also have a hole in the fabric.
542
00:32:31,967 --> 00:32:35,164
- Caused by the paper wadding?
- Yes, sir.
543
00:32:35,327 --> 00:32:37,477
All right, let's see.
544
00:33:00,727 --> 00:33:01,921
Your Honour, I object.
545
00:33:02,087 --> 00:33:04,362
Counsel for defence
is up to his usual grandstanding.
546
00:33:04,527 --> 00:33:06,961
I demand to know how that trick
was accomplished.
547
00:33:07,127 --> 00:33:09,641
Overruled.
It is not incumbent on Mr. Mason
548
00:33:09,807 --> 00:33:11,957
to reveal how this trick
was managed.
549
00:33:12,127 --> 00:33:14,482
Obviously,
it wasn't done with mirrors.
550
00:33:14,647 --> 00:33:16,638
[LAUGHING]
551
00:33:16,847 --> 00:33:18,803
Have you any further questions
of this witness?
552
00:33:18,967 --> 00:33:22,323
No, Your Honour.
The witness is excused.
553
00:33:23,847 --> 00:33:26,964
All right, sir. My next witness
is a hostile witness.
554
00:33:27,127 --> 00:33:30,483
I have her under subpoena and I would
like to call her at this time, out of order,
555
00:33:30,647 --> 00:33:32,603
for reasons which I shall show later.
556
00:33:32,767 --> 00:33:34,803
Very well, you may call the witness.
557
00:33:34,967 --> 00:33:37,322
Mrs. Ruth Marvel.
558
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:51,037
Now, keep a poker face.
They'll all be watching.
559
00:33:52,407 --> 00:33:53,476
Raise your right hand.
560
00:33:53,647 --> 00:33:55,444
Do you swear the evidence
you're about to give
561
00:33:55,607 --> 00:33:57,279
is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?
562
00:33:57,447 --> 00:33:58,596
- I do.
- State your name.
563
00:33:58,767 --> 00:34:01,759
- Mrs. Ruth Marvel.
- Be seated, please.
564
00:34:05,687 --> 00:34:06,961
Now, Mrs. Marvel,
565
00:34:07,127 --> 00:34:09,766
you know the defendant
in this case, don't you?
566
00:34:09,927 --> 00:34:12,600
I do. She's my friend.
567
00:34:12,767 --> 00:34:16,077
You might even go farther than that,
couldn't you, Mrs. Marvel?
568
00:34:17,567 --> 00:34:19,319
She's my best friend.
569
00:34:19,487 --> 00:34:24,197
But you've just sworn to tell the truth,
and I'm sure you will, won't you?
570
00:34:24,367 --> 00:34:26,005
Yes, sir.
571
00:34:26,167 --> 00:34:30,160
Mrs. Marvel, I'm gonna ask you if the
defendant made a statement to you
572
00:34:30,327 --> 00:34:32,557
as to the reason, the real reason,
573
00:34:32,727 --> 00:34:36,686
why she wanted to engage
a certain taxi on the night of May 3rd.
574
00:34:36,847 --> 00:34:39,042
Objection, Your Honour.
575
00:34:39,207 --> 00:34:41,323
Counsel is cross-examining
his own witness.
576
00:34:41,487 --> 00:34:43,557
He's asking leading questions.
He's threatening her--
577
00:34:43,727 --> 00:34:45,319
May I be heard?
578
00:34:46,447 --> 00:34:49,405
If the court please,
I believe this witness will testify
579
00:34:49,567 --> 00:34:51,762
to a damaging admission
on the part of the defendant.
580
00:34:51,927 --> 00:34:54,395
The objection will be overruled.
581
00:34:57,967 --> 00:35:00,606
All right, Mrs. Marvel,
answer the question.
582
00:35:01,567 --> 00:35:05,276
She said it was a cab
she had taken earlier in the day.
583
00:35:06,367 --> 00:35:08,198
She said--
584
00:35:09,087 --> 00:35:11,123
She said what, Mrs. Marvel?
585
00:35:13,767 --> 00:35:16,122
BURGER:
I must insist on your answer.
586
00:35:18,047 --> 00:35:21,483
She said her lawyer
had told her to take this cab,
587
00:35:21,647 --> 00:35:23,956
to have me ride around with her
and pay him off
588
00:35:24,127 --> 00:35:26,766
when the meter got to $2.95.
589
00:35:27,487 --> 00:35:31,002
Would you recognise that cab driver
if you saw him again?
590
00:35:31,167 --> 00:35:33,727
- Yes.
- Will Jerome Keddie stand up?
591
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:39,001
Is that the man, Mrs. Marvel?
592
00:35:39,167 --> 00:35:40,282
Yes.
593
00:35:40,447 --> 00:35:41,880
Thank you.
594
00:35:43,127 --> 00:35:45,038
Cross-examine.
595
00:35:49,287 --> 00:35:51,482
You mustn't feel badly, Mrs. Marvel,
596
00:35:51,647 --> 00:35:54,445
because the prosecution
called you to testify.
597
00:35:55,127 --> 00:35:57,800
The defendant told you
that under my instruction,
598
00:35:57,967 --> 00:36:01,277
she was testing the recollection
of a possible witness, didn't she?
599
00:36:01,447 --> 00:36:02,766
That's right.
600
00:36:02,927 --> 00:36:05,600
Now, the cab driver
did not recognise her, did he?
601
00:36:05,767 --> 00:36:09,396
At least, he showed no sign
of recognition that you could see?
602
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:10,636
No, sir.
603
00:36:11,167 --> 00:36:13,886
That's all the defendant
was trying to accomplish.
604
00:36:14,047 --> 00:36:17,801
We were simply attempting to test
the credibility of a witness.
605
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:19,719
Now, that's all. Thank you.
606
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:21,240
No further questions, Your Honour.
607
00:36:21,407 --> 00:36:24,922
Very well, the court is adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
608
00:36:34,167 --> 00:36:36,044
Over here, Perry.
609
00:36:38,527 --> 00:36:40,563
I thought you'd better see this
for yourself.
610
00:36:40,727 --> 00:36:42,604
These tracks were made
by Roxy Howard's car.
611
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:46,157
My man saw her do it.
Also, the lock's gone now.
612
00:37:04,167 --> 00:37:05,282
What the devil?
613
00:37:08,447 --> 00:37:10,881
Paul, let me get this straight.
614
00:37:11,167 --> 00:37:13,761
Your man saw Roxy Howard
take a lot of junk out of here
615
00:37:13,927 --> 00:37:15,804
and toss it into the gully
in back of her place?
616
00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:17,719
That's right.
He made a complete inventory.
617
00:37:17,887 --> 00:37:20,720
There were some small sandbags,
a few clamps,
618
00:37:20,887 --> 00:37:24,197
some pieces of iron pipe, 2-by-4s
and, oh, yeah, a stool.
619
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:25,641
- Where's the gully?
- Come on.
620
00:37:25,807 --> 00:37:27,604
He showed me everything
before he left.
621
00:37:40,487 --> 00:37:42,125
Come on, Perry.
622
00:37:45,807 --> 00:37:48,401
Wait a minute. The stuff's gone.
It was right here.
623
00:37:48,567 --> 00:37:51,035
- Who'd take it?
- I don't know.
624
00:37:56,527 --> 00:37:58,995
Paul, I'm gonna take
a last-minute gamble.
625
00:37:59,167 --> 00:38:01,601
Get hold of your operative.
Have him describe every pipe
626
00:38:01,767 --> 00:38:04,884
and wood that he saw. Duplicate it
and bring it to my workshop tonight.
627
00:38:05,047 --> 00:38:06,639
Oh, and don't forget the sandbags.
628
00:38:06,807 --> 00:38:09,879
- No good to ask you why.
- No good.
629
00:38:13,167 --> 00:38:14,805
Thank you very much, sir.
630
00:38:14,967 --> 00:38:17,481
That completes the prosecution's case,
Your Honour.
631
00:38:17,647 --> 00:38:19,478
The defence may proceed.
632
00:38:19,647 --> 00:38:22,525
I call as my first witness
Bruce Granger.
633
00:38:22,687 --> 00:38:25,281
BAILIFF:
Bruce Granger to the stand.
634
00:38:29,167 --> 00:38:32,125
MASON: Mr. Granger, what is your
relationship with the defendant?
635
00:38:32,287 --> 00:38:34,164
I'm her husband.
636
00:38:34,367 --> 00:38:36,801
- How long have you been married?
- Fifteen years.
637
00:38:36,967 --> 00:38:39,242
And, of course,
you're very devoted to your wife?
638
00:38:39,727 --> 00:38:42,525
- I mean, you naturally wanna help her.
- Of course.
639
00:38:42,687 --> 00:38:45,485
Of course. Tell me.
640
00:38:45,647 --> 00:38:49,083
Do you know a Miss Roxy Howard?
641
00:38:49,247 --> 00:38:50,646
Yes.
642
00:38:50,807 --> 00:38:53,799
And what is your relationship
with Miss Howard?
643
00:38:54,007 --> 00:38:55,759
Well, we were friends.
644
00:38:55,927 --> 00:39:00,205
Then, as a friend, have you ever been
to Miss Howard's home?
645
00:39:00,367 --> 00:39:01,482
- Yes.
- Then you know
646
00:39:01,647 --> 00:39:04,207
it's a completely isolated house
in the Sylvan Glade Development.
647
00:39:04,367 --> 00:39:09,487
- Yes.
- Well, for her personal protection,
648
00:39:09,647 --> 00:39:12,445
did you ever give Miss Howard
lessons in shooting a revolver?
649
00:39:12,607 --> 00:39:15,326
- Yes.
- You own a collection of firearms?
650
00:39:15,487 --> 00:39:18,718
- Well, I have seven.
- They are all in your possession?
651
00:39:18,887 --> 00:39:21,003
Except for the one
that's being held by the police.
652
00:39:21,167 --> 00:39:22,202
I see.
653
00:39:22,367 --> 00:39:26,280
Did you ever give Miss Howard
a revolver from your collection?
654
00:39:26,887 --> 00:39:28,400
Answer the question, please.
655
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:30,398
Well, yeah,
as a matter of fact, I did.
656
00:39:30,567 --> 00:39:32,956
- Does she still have the weapon?
- No, she returned it to me.
657
00:39:33,127 --> 00:39:34,606
Oh?
658
00:39:34,967 --> 00:39:37,276
- When?
- May 30th.
659
00:39:37,447 --> 00:39:40,757
- What did you do with the weapon?
- I put it back in my collection.
660
00:39:40,927 --> 00:39:42,838
Do you, uh,
661
00:39:43,007 --> 00:39:46,283
have any record showing the serial
numbers of your various guns?
662
00:39:46,447 --> 00:39:47,926
Yes.
663
00:39:48,367 --> 00:39:51,677
Mr. Granger, where do you keep
your gun collection?
664

What is this?

I must beg the indulgence
of the court.

the only way I could bring it into court.

the examination of this witness.

Then the court
will take a brief recess.
677
00:40:32,447 --> 00:40:33,926
It seems to me, Mr. Mason,
678
00:40:34,087 --> 00:40:37,397
that you could have secured
a more silent truck.

Proceed.

to check his list of serial numbers

And after the recess,
I want him to produce that list.

Yes, and there's something

One of the guns isn't mine.

No, it's the same make and model,
but it has a different serial number.

Now, Miss Howard, we've established
that Mr. Granger loaned you a gun.

Did you ever give that gun
to someone else?

that the gun you returned to him
on May 30th
714
00:42:55,207 --> 00:42:57,596
- was not the same gun he loaned you.
- I can't help that.
715
00:42:57,767 --> 00:43:00,918
Well, is Mr. Granger lying,
or was there a substitution?

- I don't know.
- You don't know.

But you do know

00:48:35,767 --> 00:48:38,918
It's Mr. Mason's job
to dispose of things like this.
832
00:48:39,087 --> 00:48:41,999
I don't have to tell you, counsellor,
you're gonna have quite a problem.
833
00:48:42,167 --> 00:48:45,955
The city rubbish collection has strict
orders not to pick up trash like this.
834
00:48:46,127 --> 00:48:48,721
Now, I want
to be reasonable, Perry.
835
00:48:48,887 --> 00:48:52,402
I can handle the whole thing.
For a fee.
836
00:48:52,567 --> 00:48:54,956
- Oh, that's bribery, Tragg.
- Uh-huh.
837
00:48:55,127 --> 00:48:58,199
But the DA is a friend of mine.
838
00:48:58,647 --> 00:49:00,603
He's not gonna give me any trouble.
839
00:49:00,767 --> 00:49:04,362
You'd like to know how I worked
that stunt with the blank cartridge.
840
00:49:04,527 --> 00:49:05,960
That's my price.
841
00:49:06,127 --> 00:49:10,120
Well, if instead of using
paper wadding
842
00:49:10,287 --> 00:49:13,438
to hold the powder in the blank
cartridge, you take some chalk,
843
00:49:13,607 --> 00:49:16,280
crimp just enough of it
in the end of the shell
844
00:49:16,447 --> 00:49:18,677
to let the pressure build up,
you'll burn up the powder--
845
00:49:18,847 --> 00:49:20,644
And the explosion
will disintegrate the chalk
846
00:49:20,807 --> 00:49:23,162
so there's no trace of it. Oh...
847
00:49:23,327 --> 00:49:26,683
Get me out of here
before I use this on myself.
848
00:49:28,847 --> 00:49:31,486
