They followed that.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
Out on me many years, and I got a job
and he put me on.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I made something it myself, but I guess I neglected.
Judge Missus Mallison pleased, believe me. I I can't do
anything for you. Only how he could always try a
wrong kind of things.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
But you don't no matter what kind of trouble he
got into.

The one thing he never did.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
He never lied to me.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
And he said to me, they I didn't kill that cop.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I said, look, Missus Mason, let me tell you something.
I've got experience in these things you have to hold
on to you you've always got And so he has
to deny it.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
I believe him, And.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
By denying it to you, he denies it to himself.
Because he doesn't want to believe he committed murder.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I believe him.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, why don't you believe him?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Why should I believe him?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Because you're the best.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
He can't give on the floor.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Okay, look, missus Mason, I can't understand how you feel.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
What you're asking you to do is all I asking
you to do.

Speaker 7 (12:53):

Speaker 6 (13:01):
Is intuitive detective, that he has a feel for how
a case should do.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Just newspaper thought, missus Mason. On the basis of information
and evidence assembled by the police department, the district attorney
has asked for an indictment. It's all. But have you
been here in the lieutenant, I.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I think you did.

Speaker 2 (13:24):

Speaker 6 (13:25):

in your eyes, but he is entitled a justice.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
To the good in court.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
But from you now, do one thing, lieutenant. Please assume
that it wasn't your.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Son he died.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Suppose it was just another homicide victimy and you were
the investigating officer, So would you be satisfied.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Missus Mason, I have to ask you.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
To leave all that, all right, icho, And he asked
the questions and you have to answer it.

In a recent highly celebrated public proceedings a definition of
you what your question? It was said that if a
murder has been committed, man, you see a man near
the court with a smoking pistols in his hands, it

Speaker 3 (26:25):
There.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
We were all through this. We went over it with
his partners, Carter and Fordyce. He said to them, I'm
making their contact.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
At Colins and Maple nine o'clock.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
They were there to back him up. They had to
keep out of sight. They saw him go around the
corner and they heard the shot. When they got to him,
he was on the ground and the faint, this George
Mason was standing there with the gun in his hand.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
And didn't see anybody else. Didn't hear anybody else.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
You want to ask him again, he'll get to say
an answer.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
The punk says, you heard someone run.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
In the world.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh sure, what's the matter with you, Harry?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
You always reacting to your son's death. Suddenly this this
concern for the killer who serves he's the killer? Harry,
you're talking to me. He's standing there with the smoking pistol, and.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
You're satisfied he did it.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
So is the DA in a matter of weeks, so
you're nine judges and a curator.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, maybe I'm not satisfied.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
It can be a problem if your attitude becomes known, Harry.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
Once he's acquitted that's the wrong him.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I'm not sure of anything anymore.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Ever since Ruth died. Your son has been your whole life.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I know that.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
And now suddenly he's gone and you've got.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Nothing and nobody well that is talking to do you.
This meant a Mason is a very good looking woman, and.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
That has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
You're sure about that.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
You're lonely, Harry. She means nothing at all to me. Nothing.
I gotta I got a hunch about this case, fairy.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
The two of them punted in his mother.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
They could they work in this together? Praying you for
a sucker?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Maybe can he admit it's possible, Everything's possible, Everything's possible.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
All right, all right, what are you going to do?
I'm gonna nail it down how I don't know yet.
I've got a hunch and as far as it goes crazy,
but I'm gonna run it down all the way down.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
As it stands right now, this is attorney has a
better enough paid got a verdict of murder in the
first to do.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Against George making picture in your bad Why shouldn't Lieutenant
Harry rhyin Field.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Be satisfied with that?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
And lets the law take its course, why, I'm sure
we'll find out in Actually the world, according to Lieutenant

(29:25):
Harry Rhinefield is a place of feelings and hunting.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Yes, people do pay.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Risk service to something known as facts, but there's nothing
factual about the truly important things in our lives. Do
we consider facts when we love? Do we look for
facts when we hope? Do we require facts to support
what we believe?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
And what is a fact? Anyhow?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Do any two people look at the same so called
facts in exactly the same way?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
You busy, Harry? You know, doing what looking through his file?
The trial is that looks for a file? What's wrong?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Please roll letics? We get threatened the kids, Harry.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
This is stuff that my nuts gills much murder, Harry,
This thing is so obvious you its MACI has to
be the cure. What do you doing to yourself? This
is how I work?

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Is this the theory we're going on?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Now?

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Some not sends a letter trapping to kill a top.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Then he's huts, Harry up with just following a certain
line of inquiry and seeing where it leads. Oh yeah,
well let me know when you get there. Yeah, it
is a plain piece of white paper, neat clean and type,
very good typing fresh black eddy. So uh yeah, everys

(31:00):
not letter. It's type barely on an old machine with
hardly any blanket all about it. You still haven't told
me what this proved, what strikes? And each letter is
even and this was done by a typeist. Okay, I'm
not sure, no owther type? So what the listening to it?
I intend to get even with you for what you
did to someone I love more than anyone else.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
In the world.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
That was done to him will be done to you.
And it's said, let's tell you. And somebody wrote that
kind of note to Jerry. No, it addressed to me
to you see the term Harry Reinsfield. Uh okay, for

(31:45):
the sake of argument. Somebody got to get you, so
they called or set up a trust. But the call
goes to the wrong rank here to your son Jerry instead,
So it's mistaken identity. And if I can only find
the machine on would type sure.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
There are only a million diwriters in the city. But
I told them I couldn't make out what their voice
was saying. Now just relax, you're not giving me any help.
The voices now they were low.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I try to holy hear them, Well, what did you did?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Just be quiet, don't say a word. You're walking down
the street at night, it's dark there, you approached the corner.
You're aware of voices? I told you because why do
you say you've heard voices? Because come on? Told me,

(32:49):
because why do you say voices? Why not noise from
a trumper while the dog bargain? Because because they were
human voices. I'm I mean people, they were saying words?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
What words?

Speaker 5 (33:05):
I don't remember. There's there's no way I can remember
going quit.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
On me now I want them.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Paying a case. Maybe you don't remember the words? Can
you remember how they were said?

Speaker 5 (33:15):
How it was said?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, sound angry, like an argument? And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
I think so? Why it sounded like a fight? Yeah yeah, lord,
I can remember one word crazy, crazy, Get it with
the words you with floors, you're crazy? And then it's

(33:40):
shot and the dang ran away. I mean I heard
what had to be a day twot that's running away
to whd them say? You're crazy? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, yeah, now that I can't be great.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
That's that's what I heard.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
But don't ask me to remember anything else.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
But that was all I heard. It's enough.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
The question is not did I ever do to anybody
that would make some game wanna kill me? Harry? Where
you're getting all that from the note?

Speaker 2 (34:13):
The note was written by a woman.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
How do you know we agreed with gone by a
professional type of there have plenty of men who are
profectonal type of yeah, yeah, but George Mason said he
heard a woman's footsteps. If I were in a spot
George Mason's when I'd say everything or work with me
on this. Well, well, if I ever did anyone that
would make some game wanna kill me?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Now?

Speaker 1 (34:34):
This note was received on April the eighteenth, which me,
but whatever it was, it happened before that day. Now,
what did I do?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Would be see you were the one who staid could
have been mistaken? I gentity.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
If someone don't can't get me, they called me to
second me up, except they get Jerry by mistake. So
this game meets Jerry and say they can't run field,
I'm gonna kill you or something like that. He has
a gun and Jerry says you're crazy. If for George
Mason heard the question is whose husband?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Whose boyfriend? Did I kill?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
You?

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Didn't kill anybody?

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Harry? I know that in all the years on the fourth,
I never had a fire a single shopper, Who husband
or boyfriend did I spend up for life? Or who
died on account of me? You better forget that letter
and the file and let justice take its course. You

(35:35):
kill it. Oh, oh.

Speaker 5 (35:40):

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Because Mason, I've I've done what I could have You
what more do you want?

Speaker 7 (35:53):
I don't want my son to pay for a crime
he didn't commit.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
I'm gonna tell you something, mister Mason. You take with
any way you like. I didn't have to do anything
at all. It wasn't my case. I understand. You talked
me into trying to open up something that was already
close as far as the apartment of something I.

Speaker 7 (36:10):
Thought you were seating out of a conting.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
All that's of conversation.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Look, I went as far as I could, and it
wasn't easy. What I'm doing could be prejudiced in your
state's case against your son.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
Oh lawyer that you came to be getting much mileage
out of that.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
I don't know why I'm doing this? Am I doing
this because you're an attractive woman?

We're very much alike. You say, day you go by idition,
I followed knowing all the way, and years ago you
go all the way to.
