- house a big car just about everything

He gets shoved through the eye of a

needle without bruising and no no he

wasn't got himself shot to death in 59

right outside my front door with my gun

and you didn't do it no sir no alibi

well there's a gallon red wine but

nobody heard me snoring including the 12

jurors Ludi you helped me

but what does this have to do with

insurance we see I know I didn't kill

- Ricci Kingman that means somebody else
- done it now he wouldn't left plenty of

Life insurance money

maybe somebody shot him to get it now if

you could prove that you get the money

back and you'd get paid and everybody be

happy yeah push life for that simple

you feel that mr. Longstreet that's how

simple my life is why no you just go

along from day to day not hurting nobody

I'm a little possum patient little

profit and all of a sudden the walls go

up ten years in prisons a long time

either you stay mad at everything or you

live I lived

oh he's uh got a broke arm

ah it's late I know I'm trying to finish

your book hmm

oh do call it again about the arson case

yeah it's a multi-million dollar

monstrosity in Dallas oh you're not

interested no Nikki I can almost hear

the steel doors closing smell the plain

food on tin plate

Kela panic the being locked up by God he

must truly be something that'll man a

tall boot I don't want to see thrown

back in the river

the murder took place on October 31st

Halloween Horne Beck's gun but no

fingerprints liked the two men had an

argument that afternoon it seems that

Hornbeck was squatting on kingman land a

little to the right why would a man wipe

off his fingerprints and leave his gun

the fans asked that question but nobody

answered it that's about all they did

ask was an open-and-shut case

they called it second-degree murder and

put the old man away for 10 - 20 they

put him on the witness stand yeah he

said he spent the night with a friend

one more here

hmm oh it's my bookmarks here's

something question who is this friend

answer I can't say question can't or

won't

answer both question why doesn't this

so-called friend come to your aid answer

I'm only responsible for my own

conscience and I'm only responsible for

my own paycheck I see by the veins in

your neck you are somewhat agitated no

kidding my company's got a 2.3 million

dollar arson case to lay on my friend

here and he keeps fooling around with

convicted murderers in ancient history I

am feeling otherwise Duke Greg would you

like to read eleven hundred and twenty

three letters from one Fred Hornbeck to

the Great Pacific Insurance Company they

date from December 10th 1959 through

August of this year

I assume great Pacific now the

life-insurance policy on Kingman yep

hell it would regret not so much for

$300,000 they had to pay out butts the

irritation I'm having to read eleven

hundred and twenty three letters about

it you realized you've got the entire

educational history of a human being in

that box

wonderful no really do these early

letters were written by somebody else

probably a friend here's one dated

September 12 1962 it's printed Mike like

a child here's one 1965 big scrolled

handwriting that means the man learned

to write from scratch and he learned to

read too

and that's all right here it's like

exploring an ancient ruin and

discovering that real people still live

there I'm not so sure Fred Hornbeck

would appreciate that ancient Roman

analogy Nicky who was Kingman's

beneficiary to his wife did investigate

or mention anything about a friend

Hornbeck spent the night with no there

was no friend and set out to investigate

a $300,000 life insurance claim and

figure he'd make an attempt to verify

the witness's existence who is the

investigator Stuart means I don't know

him I don't know either

maybe he moved to another company how

could you find out when we do it well I

could talk to him what about my 2.3

million dollar fire hmm you know Don

Quixote never had a know bad to pay for

tilting those windmills okay I'm only

responsible for my own conscience Ben

Deniz was a sick man sitting here God

loveth dem skirts enough to Buster we

caught you're evading my question I have

a dream I told you I was running told

the court you're with a friend flying

where no damn no don't believe it don't

believe in the lawyers gonna put his

client with a stand on an idiotic story

like that unless it's the truth well or

you never knew nothing about the truth

so you can forget that you must have

believed you're innocent otherwise you'd

have made some kind of a deal I knew I

was innocent and I was making no deals

matter what anybody read with you what

will they help you I wouldn't know where

- the friend was you understand what I'm
- saying mr. Longstreet I know I'm

Innocent

I'd ask you to prove that I'm ask you to

find the person that's done it now what

happened to me that's history it ain't

got nothing to do with nothing my

secrets ain't gonna catch you a murderer

- or what if it will and you just ain't
- gonna catch no murderer

You really believe him don't you

man doesn't have much reason to lie then

why not tell you who the friend was I

don't know its fear but I'm betting it's

not I don't think that man's ever been

afraid of anything maybe he's protecting

someone I think so

I lay odds it's a woman I've heard of

Southern gallantry 10 years in prison

why not

look what Macbeth did for his lady he

was a northerner south of Scotland

Hornbeck is a hanger Lynette I figured

out the right entity maybe they should

carve that on his tombstone he's not

dead yet Sheriff he might as well be

he's been out on the street lesson a

week he comes tearing into town

bothering people asking the questions

you I must have 10 ton of mail to let

beak on they did itself a disservice

when they told him to read and write I

have to admire his persistence man pays

his dues for being caught in alive why

keep up the line I told you he's a pika

always has been a pika

squatting in that cabin living off the

river boobs woman I never did an honest

day's work in his life ty why spend ten

years in jail Sheriff he was convicted

on the evidence mr. Longstreet now I was

there get horn back had any friends

couple jacked up in a wave of the one

I'd like to meet him he can't he died

here though no woman friend I told you

he was a womanizer but nobody's special

Oh Abby maybe Jack's daughter then she

was one I can well you know I can find

her no she left me Jim years ago never

even come back for a daddy's funeral

what can you tell me about Kingman's

- Widow Haven around town asking a whole
- lot of questions why what's it to you

It's all over now we don't need anybody

drenching the whole thing up again easy

boy

who are you who's my father who was

killed and I don't want you coming

around talking about my family and then

old Freddie and getting people upset

especially my mother you stay away from

my mother so help me under running back

New Orleans and a pole

we still look up the world hood chicken

why I thought it was through them I'm

sorry about Richie I reckon I'm sorriest

about that you know boy were buddies

first time I taught him to bait a hook

he was old maybe six and he got the hook

caught his finger and turned this white

as a clean sheet near fainted I wrote

Richie about 65 when I was gonna hug it

right pretty good never wrote back how

you progressing I want you to tell me

about Abby

he's nothing to tell she was with you

that night wasn't she who you've been

talking to so I want to saw you

that's why nobody thought hmm that's

right it's a lie from both sides come on

Fred I'm not gonna put in the newspaper

she went away her father's dead

I never knew he was dead I don't feel

like he did we was less friends all

allies we were like brothers I was best

man Lee but his to his wife

I was Godfather to Abby when she was 22

years old I was 51 years I never met

start up with her she has come up the

river to visit one thing led to another

we should expect me to go on the witness

stand until a jackpot went on with me

and his little girl I couldn't do that I

done some wild things my time but I

couldn't do that to a friend

so you did it to yourself so can you

first I figured you know I should come

around and tell him and she never did

and I figured well I must have really

hurt her you know don't keep telling the

truth then I I started figuring how much

hurt that was and how much hurt I done

to other people over the years and went

mad had to go up and I finally figured

that ten years wasn't too high a price

to pay to a friend at 22 she wasn't a

little girl did she want to get married

she did and I didn't I had to hit him

- kind and I told her you know where she
- is now I haven't seen her ahead of her

Since the night Qinglin was killed

I wrote to a few times but the letters

always came back address unknown tell I

want to try to find her I don't want you

to do that mr. Longstreet no I don't eat

animal I think you do

did you talk the insurance investigator

about heavy no nobody

sentence had been hanging I don't know

mr. Longstreet and uh well I'd like to

help me well that was all a long time

ago one everything should be in my

report anyhow you didn't mention

anything about the friend Hornbeck was

supposed to been with that night clam I

saw no point to it till I believe that

story anyhow

besides I wanted a drop it himself after

a while did you talk to him about it

no I I never talked to him period

I saw no point to it I mean it was

cut-and-dried case law had him cold I

saw no reason to drag out settlement mr.

K missus at Kingman G remarried yes yes

she did

and you see her me know she's an

important citizen in this state and yeah

I read about it she makes a society

pages every so often when you're

politically oriented you read those

pages I thought you're being drafted oh

haven't taken up too much of your time

well no not at all sorry I can't be more

help you don't have to get over on the

way and we can't boom

No well I don't believe I do

means was with the great Pacific for

seven years he had a good record they

raided a maid

figure he knew his business yeah that's

what bothers me

he got into the lumber business in 62

just after mrs. Kingman collected her

husband's insurance and his partners

know you get all the money I don't know

savings and arrogance rich white Irish

sweepstakes black man hi you back I'm

back you paid somebody to do that know

what my nail is a Meechum beauty salon

special nails and facial 350 like the

nails in 1930s red fashion train is back

for 350 Nicky why are you allowing

yourself be destroyed by the Legion

beauties for because I will go to any

lengths to get information did you say

any almost if you want to know what's

happened in a small town you visit a

local beauty parlor and the Meechum

beauty salon ladies know all feel and

- tell such as Abby Villanueva let's meet
- you in 61 the day after Christmas with

The Santa Claus from world's department

store work and a little trollop as a

ladies caller has never returned anybody

know where she is now negative well at

least we know she exists and the use of

the personal pronoun du chí a sense of

developing commitment here I have

assigned the arson case to another color

far wiser and a lot more pragmatic

together with a fat fee of course and I

just don't like the idea that you were

mr. Hornbeck may not have gotten his

fair portion of the bar of justice our

mr. Hornbeck our mr. Hornbeck what else

thinking nobody has a bad word for

Louisa Kingman they sympathize with her

losses and we're delighted that she

married Henry to Gary

we're a discreet two years after

husband's dance and the ladies of

Meacham beauty salon considered them of

refined and genteel couple who shunned

publicity and are constantly behind the

scenes with good deeds so they don't

make us social pages that our friends

Very good deal on the lumber business

he put $50,000 down which he got as a

paint long and would you like to know

who co-signed that loan hmm Henry do

carry they carry

my business was purchased before to

carry mary-louise a Kingman right do you

think maybe some hanky-panky was going

on way back then like to carry mrs.

Kingman while hubby was still alive I'll

be found out so - Gary guilty maybe

maybe she doesn't know anything about

her husband's death

I like that lady it's a quality about

her when she speaks the way she went

after my hand has shaken

I'm not ready to believe she's a

murderess i bench miss Louisa since she

got married to mr. Kingman I was just a

kid my mom was housekeeper and I used to

help out when Richie got one David they

call him out David does he call himself

David yes sir and he don't take to being

called nothing else why don't you get to

it ran too hard she'll get to the famous

you come you're looking for information

tell us what you after what you're

paying quiet woman matter what five

months now so I can't afford to be no

free Judas what do you want and what do

you pay we're investigating Richard

Hammonds death what you're talking about

mr. Kimura's dead more than ten years

and the man I've done it's been in jail

and out already we think they put the

wrong man in jail that's why we're here

you ain't got nothing for me that man

had himself a fair trial maybe he did

but he's a poor man and sometimes fair

doesn't mean the same for a poor man a

man today we just want to make sure it

was fair I I know the Kingman's didn't

get along was that because of mr. de

Cary mr. Kingman Avenue nothing about

mr. de Cary he never needed no reason to

beat on that pool or on Richie

he was a miserable terrible drunk and

nobody know because the family was too

high and mighty to admit it where was

mrs. Kingman when her husband was shot

miss Louisa was home that night I know

cuz it was Halloween and the kids was

out Rick and treatment and I was helping

I get out the treats mr. Kingman got

shot at ten o'clock

I was with her right then how did you

know the Kingman's didn't get along

David to carry as it was

wrong with the scene at their house they

kept calling him David that's his name

his name was Richard Kingman jr. and

only Son a namesake who's 14 years old

and his father was killed I changed his

name why would a wife and a son totally

obliterate the existence of a father mr.

Louis leave in three days you've managed

to upset my entire family

why because of Hornbeck he was tried and

convicted and even if it should happen

that this was a miscarriage of justice

and he was innocent what could we do

what feel sorry for him people have

nothing to hide don't get upset over

questions when you start digging most

people have something to hide it doesn't

have to be murder no it could be

something as simple as adultery good day

mr. Longstreet Thanks

you know steward means no no

why did you cosign a $50,000 no for that

- is none of your business

but this time you're asked about Stewart

means so you drew blood with mr. de

Karen a couple of pints at least you

make out with a sheriff not a drop on

the night of the murder the country club

had Halloween party sheriff Pike was

there so was Henry to carry the whole

world's got an alibi and she's um was

again you have to refer to my food with

such a Dearing names she's a beaut expel

abuse you know if Mike here could catch

crooks like you catch fish he'd be a

millionaire here we go nice and hot

what's wrong hey yeah alright I'm ready

alright give you nice big one a now you

just taste that and you tell me you have

a tasted better than Oh beautiful

friends fantastic

where's my bread I would like to make a

toast

yes somehow I'm go to prison he's so

important no more

sometimes I even have trouble separating

it from what I've done all my life it's

the first time I ever cooked in the

kitchen a real kitchen first time I have

a drunk wine from a real wine glass

and sure the first time I ever had so

many frames

ain't that how you make at Ocean that's

the only way Fred

let's see now this is um French Bordeaux

1960 no no 1959 clothes California

burgundy 1967 Braddock do you use that

for it I don't feel so hungry I

recommend all kombucha and Easter when

you're kid and all the time you're

walking you're real excited that last

bit that last hundred yards I wish I

felt that close we're all you have to do

is figure out anybody can be in two

places at the same time well that's

impossible it's you're identical twins

except except at Halloween sure I

remember she wasn't wearing no costume

at all miss Louisa never liked getting

fancy dressed like that and like I told

you she was at home that night

Thank You mrs. Carter yeah I'll tell you

what the point of it is Henry the carry

and custom could have slipped out that

night and killed Kingman could have but

didn't now I've got pictures of country

club activities that go all the way back

to 46 that was 59 Halloween right well

here you are Mr D Kerry was there and he

was dressed like Lafayette anyone else

that picture wearing a Lafayette costume

all right thanks Seymour Lafayette

you've got a visitor

I'm a very young girl when I married

Richard so young I thought I knew

everything there was to know about life

I was wiser when I grew old I wasn't

sure of anything in life I I only knew

that I was terribly unhappy I met Henry

five years after I married Richard

though he never really entered into my

life until about a year before Richard's

death I'd have given anything that that

hadn't happened mr. Longstreet Henry is

a good man it's unfair for him to be

suspected of a sin he's incapable of

committing treason mr. Longstreet let it

pass what about Fred Hornbeck I can help

him give him money that's very generous

well not money then I can help him what

does he want the truth will you get in

that I'm sorry mr. Carey I'm gonna find

out who kills your husband have you

never been in love mr. Longstreet

Mike Mike are you alright yeah yeah I'm

just thinking well you found a be right

here in New Orleans

Abigale Villanueva 1939 to 1970 she

purchased the crib in July of 61 paid

cash she died last December the body was

shipped from Miami cause of death an

overdose of barbiturates why haven't I

heard Santa Claus 1961 she was only 24

years old when she bought that crypt

this oh she knew her life was over

before it even began

I reckon that about does it for me I

think Adhikari is done to kill him there

just ain't no way to make him say it

there has to be the man co-signed a bank

well for $50,000 and it had to be

blackmail money so somebody found out

about it that means he didn't commit a

perfect crime if he committed a crime at

all I thought he was your prime suspect

Howard Stewart means tune in on the

carries why would he know well the key

here is a B you must have talked to her

realize fred was innocent and went

snooping until he found out who the real

murderer was any and he paid off Abby to

get her to go out of town that's how she

got enough money to buy her crypt but

she was the only threat to anyone and

now she did but they don't know that

they don't know that otherwise why

they're running so scared why they

hit-and-run why the attacks on Fred and

me no no they think she's alive and

threatening

what do you think you where you go on on

Vic and boy you know it I just spoke to

Abby I want banter and boy you're lucky

I don't kill you right now ten years I

spent that prison never gets healed I'm

- going to see you spend twice as long in
- the same cell

Hello I've got for you here

good night why

Louisa what is it

Oh him I didn't know how to tell you

we've got to talk

I could feel his bones shaken good

alright be seeing your friend couldn't I

just sit here with you no we get in any

trouble at all you're in it pick you up

on a parole violation so caper may not

help you but I don't want it hurting you

either come what a stain alright uh 6:20

I've got another elementary question yes

- do you think it was mean - simple two

men after you and Fred I'm sure

but even if we fry it means in to carry

into a tater tape then what well we've

got two eyes and four years between us I

want to do is get them panicked enough

to start pointing fingers at each other

as long as they don't start pointing

guns at us who is it Duke

happen to be in the neighborhood huh

- nope I made a special trip with a
- message for Nicky from Alice what's that

So what's love you can babysit tonight

PTA meeting tonight but I'm planning to

a sitter I know

where is he we just had to stay put stay

I heard him crying in his room

it was nearly 2:00 in the morning his

father was drunk that night brutally

drunk I know in a way it was

self-defense but just could people

understand it I couldn't take the chance

he was 14 years old my only son I could

think of nothing to do but protect him I

went to the shack and found Richard he

was dead I couldn't move him I cleaned

off the rifle and left it there beside

him I didn't care about mr. Hornbeck I I

only wanted to save my son hey rich

God for me I'm sorry I was too scared

you hope he always scared me Freddie he

was hitting mother I tried to stop him

and he came after me I ran to your place

but you were away it was cling at me and

I just took your gun never meant for you

to go to prison she scared you couldn't

have done what she done tonight unless

she was still scared and you missed us

stop being scared

women and kids I'm a sucker for what

will happen there'll be a hearing it

probably won't be easy for the two

carries but it will be a lot easier than

the ten years you spend in prison

just as long as they don't have to look

to know chicken wire hey anybody still

hungry ought to be some catfish leg yeah

Duke watch your come on fishing with

Fred me tomorrow good idea maybe you'll

catch some meat to that boot
