Speaker 2 (04:20):
M no.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Mm apparently yes, I was just about to curl up
in front of the fire with her bottle of shot iron,
sleep and sleep. Well, maybe I don't need tablets to
southe my nerves come in.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Thank you, mister Temple. My name is Susan Sparrow.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, that sounds very demure.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
I isn't that the kind of thing you should find
out for yourself.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Miss Sparrow or missus missus? Oh? And I could always
ask your husband if.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
You can find him. I can't. That's why I've come
to you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Oh, I see somebody lost him.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Well, he was supposed to have reached New York three
days ago on the steamship x Brook.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, he was a passenger, no one of the crew.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
He hasn't come home.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Mister Templar, you waited three days before doing anything about it?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Well, of course, because we live in in Cleveland, Oh, which.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Means you'd have allowed him a day to get there,
a day's wait before you got alarmed, and a day
for you to come here.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Alright, h Can you think of any reason why he
wouldn't have come to Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Can you?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Mm?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Well, of course he may not feel the same way
I do about about Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You've got in.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Touch with the ship's captain.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
No, you see, Frank, my husband didn't want anyone to
know he was married.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
He's shy I don't know.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
He well, he's sort of mysterious about the thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I see when you find him for.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Me and mister Templar, I'm afraid something may have happened
to him, something terrible.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I'll do what I can. That means you'll find him
very pretty vote of confidence.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
But it's more than a vote your uh life saver, Simon, Well,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I just hope I'll strike the right flavor with your husband.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Hey, Bob, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I see where you're going.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh I I'm on my way to the X book.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Uh, that's it, isn't it at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yes, that's the ex book, But visiting ours ain't in effect.
Speaker 2 (06:39):

Well maybe or equiliment push.
Speaker 3 (07:06):

the lieutenant.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Come on, they uh found the body then, yeah, watch
your stuff there, Hey, lieutenant, here's the guy.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay Simmons.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Now, mister Temple, I understand you've been hanging around watchful
waiting might be a better description.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
That brings you here.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
A man named Sparrow, friend of yours.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I'd never met him, however, I'd like to see him.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Why he might be worth seeing?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
He might be Uh wait a minute, mister Temple, aren't
you the saint?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hears?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
But you don't want my biography at.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
The moment, do you?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
No, ma'am? He said you wanted to look at Sparrow. Okay,
look at he.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
Uh he's not very pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Nobody is. After soaking in the harbor.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
For three days, fish must have been hungry.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
A guy's face is practically gun but he was carrying
his papers on him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh the temper you found your man, Frank Sparrow.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Mm, he was uh drowned.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
And surprised he wasn't drowned. A couple of bullets in him?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Uh? Who put him there? The same time he disappeared.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
The night watchman on this tub disappeared too, an old
guy named Gleason.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We found the watchman's gun in one of the ventiladies.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Two shots had been fired from it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Also, some weights were.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Missing watchman's shot. Spara put the weights in his clothing
to keep him down for awhile, get him down for
three days, but Sparrow came up anyway, proving you can't
keep a good man down or a bad man.
Speaker 12 (08:39):
Hu Temple are acts suspicious about anything.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Susan, No, he believed me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
He's out looking for Sparrow now, yeah, a good girl, Susan.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I wonder they go.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That could be unhealthy.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Me and Collins asked you to up front for us,
get a legit character like Templar to find.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sparrow for us, but which you get paid? Don't wonder?
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Alright, rego, except why are you so anxious to find Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He goes me and Collins, and they'll must be a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Mind's your own business?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Is he all right? A?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Where's Collins telling Templar we wanna know where Sparrow is?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The instant Templar tags didn't see we go.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
You told me why you didn't want to go to
Templar yourself. You said he'd be more willing to do
it if a pretty girl like me asked.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Him, No, what's that supposed to be? Nudes?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
No?
Speaker 8 (09:30):
But I'm beginning to think maybe the reason you wanted
your name's kept out of it is suppose something happens
to Sparrow after Templar finds him something fatal.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Then you'd be in the clear.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You'd get a very healthy imagination.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Yeah, it doesn't feel healthy right now.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So there's a listen.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
You're running in there, and for me, don't try to
run out up to anything else.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Otherwise he wouldn't lay a hand on me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh wouldn't. I?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh see, you were r wrong about that. It could
be wrong about lots of things. So stop imagining.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Just do like your child.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Where we go.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Me, I'll talk into the bedroom til we see you
as a Collins or somebody else.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh? Coming coming?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh? I know, Simon?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
May I come in? Of course?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
I I'm glad you came. I've been sort of lonely.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That's not exactly why I came.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Oh Simon, you don't mean you've already found Frank. I don't, Oh, Simon, No, wonderful.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What especially?
Speaker 7 (10:40):
It was very simple. What isn't simple is why someone
followed me?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah, someone followed you, or you must be imagining it.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Perhaps I'd thought better of my imagination though. However, Susan,
what was your husband carrying on him?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
I don't quite know what that means. Carrying something the.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Wild Foh, Susan.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
When I got down to the ship, the police were
very busy doing what fishing a body out of the harbor.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh the papers found on it belonged to Frank Sparrow.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Oh no, no, nothing else in his pockets except Susan.
A night watchman named Gleason disappeared the night of the murder,
presumably after emptying those pockets.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Oh that's why you asked me what my husband might
be carrying on. Yes, I don't know, I Simon.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You'd better go now, of course.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
The uh shock, Yes, that's right. Good night, Susan, Good night, Simon.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Shots came from down the hall, Simon. Don't leave me, hey,
dear studn't.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Come on back in, Simon.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Oh who was it?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
The new Corps? The same man who'd followed me here?
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Collins? What? Oh, nothing like you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just said, Collins.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Did you see the man who shot him?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
No?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
By the time I got to the end of the hall,
he was gone.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Who is Colin, Susan.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
I don't know anyone named Colin's. You must have made
a mistake, Susan.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
A man was just killed out there. The police will
be along in a very little while. They'll identify him,
that'll lead them to you.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
No, the police don't know anything about I do. You
wouldn't tell them.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
How long have you been married to Frank Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
A couple of years.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Mm. You spend a lot of time outdoors, don't you.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Someone must have told you how attractive tanned blondes are.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Well, yes, I do, get out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Mind.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Uh. Slipping that wedding ring off your finger? No, hump?
Speaker 11 (12:37):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What are you staring at your ring? Finger?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Tanned prettily even under the ring. What if you haven't
been wearing that ring very long, Susan, Otherwise there'd be
a band of lighter skin on your.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Finger, which means you're not married, Susan. You just started
wearing that ring today, Simon, I kill.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Have to you pretended to be Sparrow's wife and ask
me to find him.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Why I a friend of mine? I mean Sparrow was
a friend of mine. I was worried about him. No,
you know I didn't kill Collins.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I was here in the room with you when no
one you.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Know, might have killed Collins, just as you might've killed Sparrow.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
But you said the night watchman Gleason was.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Suspected, that's all. Who asked you to pretend you were
Sparrow's wife?
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Uh? A man named Rego?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Why did he want Sparrow? Fowls?
Speaker 7 (13:24):
He didn't tell me any connection between Rego and the
dead mister Collins out.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Ah Roight, Rigo and Spile.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I never heard of Spiro until today.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
What were you supposed to do when I found Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
For you?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Tell Rego?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's all? Huh? Where is Rego?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Now? I?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I don't know where did you live?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
I don't know about either.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
But the next time you see him, Susan, ask him
to get in touch with me.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Hm oh, alright, Simon, is there.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
A back way out of this apartment?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'd uh just as soon avoid the police.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Back way apartments.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Frequently have them, you know, usually through the kitchen, of course.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Come on, I'll show you. You can go right out here.
Those stairs lead to the street.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Uh, thank you, Susan, Simon.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Couldn't you forget that you ever came to see me?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Forget?
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yes, h Susan, I can be forgetful about a lot
of things, but not the merider, Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Bread boy guard.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Oh Rego.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You went very smart, Susan. What do you mean feeding
bred boy my name.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I had to, otherwise he might've turned you over.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
To the cops.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You didn't knock off Collins, did you?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
So I worry because maybe you did.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Little thinker, ain't you, Susan. I was in the apartment
when Collins got it.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
You could have gone out the back door, shot him,
then come back.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Sure, only you forgot to mention that the temper.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
I didn't forget, Rego. You were expecting something from Sparrow,
something worth money. That night watchman who killed Sparrow must
have stolen it. But you're going to find that night
watchman now, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I wouldn't know Sparrow's being fished out of the hib
But don't make me feel good, Rego.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
I stuck my neck out on this for peanuts. There's
been a couple of murders, Rego. I want more money
for my end of this job.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Suppose I did kill Colin, Sissy, I would be on
account of I didn't wanna cut him in.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
I want to change your name to Templer. That would
be because I wouldn't want you to get the same
idea about me. H.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You're not only pretty, Sissy, you're smart. Thanks you could
easily get too smart. Alright, I'll cut you win, sissy hu,
but no more flapping of the mouth of the templar.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right right, A, my Susy, where are you going home?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm not hard working in I need a rest.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
What about Gleason?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And I'd watch me anyway? You have to peddle the
stuff he took off Sparrow. When he does.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
You won't forget to let me know?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Will you?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I won't forget?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
And uh you watch yourself for that saint Huh because
the well I've heard it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's only a nickname.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Hello, Rica, I rather thought you'd be using the back
door tump tes. That's not lawer. Shall I wead the
uh police of Jack. You have a nice visit with Susan.
Susan holle reg If you were in Susan's apartment, you
might have been out in the hallway killing Collins.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Now you mention that you meant Susan was sure her
eye was in her apartment all the time.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Why were you hiding when I dropped in? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You know how it is. I'm a gentleman.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Uh, and the word has been redefined since I went
to school. You got it looks as though Sparrow is
a dead end. How are you going to find Gleason?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Why should I want him?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Whatever Sparrow had, Gleason has it.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Now you know something weed near Susie's apartment house anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's kind of light. Nobody around.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You're very deserve.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Also, somebody wouldn't like interference.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Oh, I say, that's why you're showing me your gun.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Someone wants to stop me from getting you out of
my head.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
M for one thing, you're bald.

man trailing us.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I like this better being on a cab.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh that's the kind of remark I approve of. Many
pay out of this conversation.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Uh huh, suddenly you don't like cab drivers, mister tumph
I'm crazy about them.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
Look, I see two fellas having a foot race in
the middle of the night. I think maybe they would
get that faster in a cab.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I pull over to the curb.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And it's my fault that turned out to for you.
I'm mister Temple, no Larry, and.

that man, Rego, George Washington?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Here a little behind the times, riga, did you kill Collins? Now?

The police are gonna want somebody for that murder.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh, I don't find their own murderers. I got other troubles, and.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
They turned out to be the same trouble. Rego, you didn't.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Kill Collins, And the man who did maybe after you, Yeah,
and for the same reason.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To get you out of the way so he.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Could catch you. And the stuff's fire was smuggling into
the country, Jewels, that guy who cares what you guess?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Besides, that would make it gleas. And then I ain't
a fight of Gleason? Why not? Because he ain't dead.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And mister Temple, he asked.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Lorry, you know personally I'm not sorry we deposited mister
Rego at his house.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
He's not the fight.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Uncomfortable driving around him?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
My can that would be narrow minded?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Lorry?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
No, it's not that I'm narrow minded, just so happens
a lot of bullet proof. Neither, and it's the Temple.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Do you want to should drive you back to that
blonde's apartment?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, Lorry, oh than your description of what was not
the fruit or it was the truth.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But I have a more important darn.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
Go on in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
What could be more important than a blonde?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
A car?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Lory? Make it the morgue. Alright, Louis, Oh, it's about time.
I don't enjoy wait now for affair outside of the morgue.
I get morebid thoughts. What do you want?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
I should take you back to REGOs, to REGOs with
mister Temple. I got a suggestion, why don't we just
stay here and send for Rego?
Speaker 9 (19:50):
You know, then after he got through with this, we
could move right into the morgue without bothering nobody.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I should rather have been a truck driver.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh you went an Iceland?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
My brother, Well, he keeps telling them, Louie says, you
should be a truck driver.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You're in manners, wanted to be polite to people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Why not they help distress motorist when they're in distress.
Why how you shouldn't be a red hog?
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And about everything else?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He says, you don't have to associate with rif rat.
So I listen to him.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
No, I stay a cat driver, And I visit the morgue.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Oh, mister Temple, what did you do there?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Looked at the corps they fished out.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Of the harbor.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
He improved in appearance hardly.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
However, I did suggest that the officer in charge that
he get in touch immediately with Sparah's dentist.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh wow, all the corpse has a toothacher.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Oh, I don't know, but it's possible, Louis, it's possible.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
We go, we go, it.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Says, he let me in.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Why the unlocked the door? Yes, if you'da visited me.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Susan, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Regal?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Loving? I see things? You sure you'd come along?
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Of course I did.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
M Maybe you only think so because maybe somebody came
with you, only you can't see him.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
You're drunk.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
M I wish I was drunker Regal.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
You killed Collins, that's all. You wouldn't have killed him
on speculation. You must have found glease On yourself, got
the jewels from him. Then you killed Colins so you.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Could keep them all maybe your nuts.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I want my share, so you'll come right over and
ask finely like i'd buy my Collins off on the
kind of those stones.
Speaker 2 (21:42):

That's that Simon, he's dead. You were the only one
in the room with him, Susan.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
He was shot through that window. Simon, Please believe me.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Mm window glass talking about the bullets these is a
glass fell into the room.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Hum m, someone outside shot Torigo.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Someone keep talking, Susan, he's still out. H yeah, you
must know that we know we're in the light.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Oh is it ever?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
Sorry before? But I think I could name him? Keep talking, Susan.
I'm going to work my way around to the wall
next to the window. As soon as I get there.
Put the lights out in.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Here, the lights.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Why you're near the switch, don't look at it for
rights to.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Your left, a little higher than your waist. Turn a
bit away from me, slide one hand.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Behind your back.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
What are you going to do with Simon?
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Do out the window as soon as the lights I'm scartch.
Nothing to worry about, I've said, Susan. Got your finger
on the switch?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yes, alright, then let's have a little darkness.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Yeah, much better, Susan. Put the lights on inside.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
All Timon, Simon, did you Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
A little stranger is resting. Do you recognize him?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
No, I've never seen and perhaps i'd better introduce you
to him. Susan, meet mister Sparrow.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
So all right, mister Temple, the guy you in the
outside of Rigo's house was Sparrow. Yeah, so he.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Killed REGOs So he also killed Collins.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Oh, but he was dead, no, Lois, They checked with
Sparrow's dentist.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
It wasn't Sparrow in the morgue.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Or sure, sure he was out shooting people.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
But if it wasn't Sparrow, who was the night watchman
gleased him?
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Oh, you mean instead of Gleas' knocking off Sparrow, it
was Sparrow, which not for Gleason, That's.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Right, Lewis.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Then he emptied Gleason's pockets.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
And put his own papers in them. He hoped that
would result in the police looking for Gleeson. Yeah, he
also hoped it would throw Collins and Rego off. It
did until he could kill them and keep.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
The jewels for himself. It's a very low type. Oh,
you must have known before your court Sparrow on a color.
You know, you told the cups to look up that dentist.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
So how did you know.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Obviously Sparrow was in a hurry after he killed Gleason.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
The shots might have been heard. Therefore, he didn't have
time to change clothes with the dead man.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
All he could do is empty Gleason's pockets, have everything
that might have identified him and substitute his own identification, and.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
Then he hoped the water and the fishes would make
it impossible to identify gleasion.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Huh uh huh, but that still don't tell me. Literally,
it was too pat.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
What the only thing in the corpse his pocket turned
out to be is identification papers of course, otherwise unrecognizable.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Oh it's too pat and they're a fake.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Sure, okay, yeah, but there's something else you have to explain,
which is why ain't that beautiful blonde.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
With you, Susan? Oh, she's in conference at headquarters?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Is that soul?

southe my nerves come in.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Thank you, mister Temple. My name is Susan Sparrow.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, that sounds very demure.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
I isn't that the kind of thing you should find
out for yourself.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Miss Sparrow or missus missus? Oh? And I could always
ask your husband if.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
You can find him. I can't. That's why I've come
to you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Oh, I see somebody lost him.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Well, he was supposed to have reached New York three
days ago on the steamship x Brook.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, he was a passenger, no one of the crew.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
He hasn't come home.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Mister Templar, you waited three days before doing anything about it?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Well, of course, because we live in in Cleveland, Oh, which.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Means you'd have allowed him a day to get there,
a day's wait before you got alarmed, and a day
for you to come here.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Alright, h Can you think of any reason why he
wouldn't have come to Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Can you?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Mm?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Well, of course he may not feel the same way
I do about about Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You've got in.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Touch with the ship's captain.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
No, you see, Frank, my husband didn't want anyone to
know he was married.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
He's shy I don't know.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
He well, he's sort of mysterious about the thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I see when you find him for.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Me and mister Templar, I'm afraid something may have happened
to him, something terrible.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I'll do what I can. That means you'll find him
very pretty vote of confidence.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
But it's more than a vote your uh life saver, Simon, Well,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I just hope I'll strike the right flavor with your husband.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Hey, Bob, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I see where you're going.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh I I'm on my way to the X book.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Uh, that's it, isn't it at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yes, that's the ex book, But visiting ours ain't in effect.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh yeah, Harper details got a little job of work
to do.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Oh, such as drudging sounds deep? M uh for anything
in particular. A body, I see someone fell overboard?
Speaker 10 (06:52):
Well maybe or equiliment push.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
M okay, it's a couple of Well, tell her it's
ready to see him now. Yeah, it's very nice of
the lieutenant.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Come on, they uh found the body then, yeah, watch
your stuff there, Hey, lieutenant, here's the guy.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay Simmons.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Now, mister Temple, I understand you've been hanging around watchful
waiting might be a better description.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
That brings you here.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
A man named Sparrow, friend of yours.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I'd never met him, however, I'd like to see him.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Why he might be worth seeing?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
He might be Uh wait a minute, mister Temple, aren't
you the saint?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hears?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
But you don't want my biography at.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
The moment, do you?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
No, ma'am? He said you wanted to look at Sparrow. Okay,
look at he.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
Uh he's not very pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Nobody is. After soaking in the harbor.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
For three days, fish must have been hungry.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
A guy's face is practically gun but he was carrying
his papers on him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh the temper you found your man, Frank Sparrow.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Mm, he was uh drowned.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
And surprised he wasn't drowned. A couple of bullets in him?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Uh? Who put him there? The same time he disappeared.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
The night watchman on this tub disappeared too, an old
guy named Gleason.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We found the watchman's gun in one of the ventiladies.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Two shots had been fired from it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Also, some weights were.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Missing watchman's shot. Spara put the weights in his clothing
to keep him down for awhile, get him down for
three days, but Sparrow came up anyway, proving you can't
keep a good man down or a bad man.
Speaker 12 (08:39):
Hu Temple are acts suspicious about anything.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Susan, No, he believed me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
He's out looking for Sparrow now, yeah, a good girl, Susan.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I wonder they go.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That could be unhealthy.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Me and Collins asked you to up front for us,
get a legit character like Templar to find.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sparrow for us, but which you get paid? Don't wonder?
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Alright, rego, except why are you so anxious to find Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He goes me and Collins, and they'll must be a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Mind's your own business?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Is he all right? A?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Where's Collins telling Templar we wanna know where Sparrow is?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The instant Templar tags didn't see we go.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
You told me why you didn't want to go to
Templar yourself. You said he'd be more willing to do
it if a pretty girl like me asked.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Him, No, what's that supposed to be? Nudes?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
No?
Speaker 8 (09:30):
But I'm beginning to think maybe the reason you wanted
your name's kept out of it is suppose something happens
to Sparrow after Templar finds him something fatal.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Then you'd be in the clear.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You'd get a very healthy imagination.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Yeah, it doesn't feel healthy right now.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So there's a listen.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
You're running in there, and for me, don't try to
run out up to anything else.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Otherwise he wouldn't lay a hand on me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh wouldn't. I?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh see, you were r wrong about that. It could
be wrong about lots of things. So stop imagining.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Just do like your child.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Where we go.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Me, I'll talk into the bedroom til we see you
as a Collins or somebody else.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh? Coming coming?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh? I know, Simon?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
May I come in? Of course?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
I I'm glad you came. I've been sort of lonely.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That's not exactly why I came.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Oh Simon, you don't mean you've already found Frank. I don't, Oh, Simon, No, wonderful.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What especially?
Speaker 7 (10:40):
It was very simple. What isn't simple is why someone
followed me?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah, someone followed you, or you must be imagining it.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Perhaps I'd thought better of my imagination though. However, Susan,
what was your husband carrying on him?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
I don't quite know what that means. Carrying something the.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Wild Foh, Susan.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
When I got down to the ship, the police were
very busy doing what fishing a body out of the harbor.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh the papers found on it belonged to Frank Sparrow.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Oh no, no, nothing else in his pockets except Susan.
A night watchman named Gleason disappeared the night of the murder,
presumably after emptying those pockets.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Oh that's why you asked me what my husband might
be carrying on. Yes, I don't know, I Simon.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You'd better go now, of course.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
The uh shock, Yes, that's right. Good night, Susan, Good night, Simon.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Shots came from down the hall, Simon. Don't leave me, hey,
dear studn't.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Come on back in, Simon.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Oh who was it?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
The new Corps? The same man who'd followed me here?
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Collins? What? Oh, nothing like you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just said, Collins.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Did you see the man who shot him?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
No?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
By the time I got to the end of the hall,
he was gone.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Who is Colin, Susan.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
I don't know anyone named Colin's. You must have made
a mistake, Susan.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
A man was just killed out there. The police will
be along in a very little while. They'll identify him,
that'll lead them to you.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
No, the police don't know anything about I do. You
wouldn't tell them.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
How long have you been married to Frank Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
A couple of years.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Mm. You spend a lot of time outdoors, don't you.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Someone must have told you how attractive tanned blondes are.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Well, yes, I do, get out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Mind.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Uh. Slipping that wedding ring off your finger? No, hump?
Speaker 11 (12:37):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What are you staring at your ring? Finger?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Tanned prettily even under the ring. What if you haven't
been wearing that ring very long, Susan, Otherwise there'd be
a band of lighter skin on your.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Finger, which means you're not married, Susan. You just started
wearing that ring today, Simon, I kill.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Have to you pretended to be Sparrow's wife and ask
me to find him.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Why I a friend of mine? I mean Sparrow was
a friend of mine. I was worried about him. No,
you know I didn't kill Collins.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I was here in the room with you when no
one you.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Know, might have killed Collins, just as you might've killed Sparrow.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
But you said the night watchman Gleason was.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Suspected, that's all. Who asked you to pretend you were
Sparrow's wife?
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Uh? A man named Rego?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Why did he want Sparrow? Fowls?
Speaker 7 (13:24):
He didn't tell me any connection between Rego and the
dead mister Collins out.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Ah Roight, Rigo and Spile.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I never heard of Spiro until today.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
What were you supposed to do when I found Sparrow?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
For you?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Tell Rego?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's all? Huh? Where is Rego?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Now? I?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I don't know where did you live?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
I don't know about either.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
But the next time you see him, Susan, ask him
to get in touch with me.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Hm oh, alright, Simon, is there.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
A back way out of this apartment?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'd uh just as soon avoid the police.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Back way apartments.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Frequently have them, you know, usually through the kitchen, of course.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Come on, I'll show you. You can go right out here.
Those stairs lead to the street.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Uh, thank you, Susan, Simon.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Couldn't you forget that you ever came to see me?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Forget?
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yes, h Susan, I can be forgetful about a lot
of things, but not the merider, Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Bread boy guard.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Oh Rego.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You went very smart, Susan. What do you mean feeding
bred boy my name.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I had to, otherwise he might've turned you over.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
To the cops.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You didn't knock off Collins, did you?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
So I worry because maybe you did.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Little thinker, ain't you, Susan. I was in the apartment
when Collins got it.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
You could have gone out the back door, shot him,
then come back.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Sure, only you forgot to mention that the temper.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
I didn't forget, Rego. You were expecting something from Sparrow,
something worth money. That night watchman who killed Sparrow must
have stolen it. But you're going to find that night
watchman now, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I wouldn't know Sparrow's being fished out of the hib
But don't make me feel good, Rego.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
I stuck my neck out on this for peanuts. There's
been a couple of murders, Rego. I want more money
for my end of this job.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Suppose I did kill Colin, Sissy, I would be on
account of I didn't wanna cut him in.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
I want to change your name to Templer. That would
be because I wouldn't want you to get the same
idea about me. H.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You're not only pretty, Sissy, you're smart. Thanks you could
easily get too smart. Alright, I'll cut you win, sissy hu,
but no more flapping of the mouth of the templar.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right right, A, my Susy, where are you going home?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm not hard working in I need a rest.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
What about Gleason?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And I'd watch me anyway? You have to peddle the
stuff he took off Sparrow. When he does.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
You won't forget to let me know?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Will you?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I won't forget?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
And uh you watch yourself for that saint Huh because
the well I've heard it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's only a nickname.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Hello, Rica, I rather thought you'd be using the back
door tump tes. That's not lawer. Shall I wead the
uh police of Jack. You have a nice visit with Susan.
Susan holle reg If you were in Susan's apartment, you
might have been out in the hallway killing Collins.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Now you mention that you meant Susan was sure her
eye was in her apartment all the time.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Why were you hiding when I dropped in? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You know how it is. I'm a gentleman.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Uh, and the word has been redefined since I went
to school. You got it looks as though Sparrow is
a dead end. How are you going to find Gleason?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Why should I want him?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Whatever Sparrow had, Gleason has it.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Now you know something weed near Susie's apartment house anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's kind of light. Nobody around.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You're very deserve.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Also, somebody wouldn't like interference.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Oh, I say, that's why you're showing me your gun.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Someone wants to stop me from getting you out of
my head.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
M for one thing, you're bald.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
For another, the man who's been trailing us ever since
we left Susan's.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
House, you are lying.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Look back fat.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh no, you're just angling for a chance to jump me.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's your problem.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Okay, move up in front of me, a couple of peop.
But now I'll take a look.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
He's sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah I seen him. Oh he I couldn't have He's dead.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
THEO you're a fool.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
If you hadn't started running, we could have caught the
man trailing us.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I like this better being on a cab.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh that's the kind of remark I approve of. Many
pay out of this conversation.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Uh huh, suddenly you don't like cab drivers, mister tumph
I'm crazy about them.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
Look, I see two fellas having a foot race in
the middle of the night. I think maybe they would
get that faster in a cab.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I pull over to the curb.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And it's my fault that turned out to for you.
I'm mister Temple, no Larry, and.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
I'm very grateful that she stopped for it.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Okay, And nobody mentioned.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
The address fifty three Cotton, Well it's address. Who is
that man, Rego, George Washington?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Here a little behind the times, riga, did you kill Collins? Now?
Can you prove him?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
No?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
The police are gonna want somebody for that murder.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh, I don't find their own murderers. I got other troubles, and.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
They turned out to be the same trouble. Rego, you didn't.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Kill Collins, And the man who did maybe after you, Yeah,
and for the same reason.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To get you out of the way so he.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Could catch you. And the stuff's fire was smuggling into
the country, Jewels, that guy who cares what you guess?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Besides, that would make it gleas. And then I ain't
a fight of Gleason? Why not? Because he ain't dead.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And mister Temple, he asked.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Lorry, you know personally I'm not sorry we deposited mister
Rego at his house.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
He's not the fight.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Uncomfortable driving around him?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
My can that would be narrow minded?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Lorry?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
No, it's not that I'm narrow minded, just so happens
a lot of bullet proof. Neither, and it's the Temple.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Do you want to should drive you back to that
blonde's apartment?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, Lorry, oh than your description of what was not
the fruit or it was the truth.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But I have a more important darn.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
Go on in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
What could be more important than a blonde?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
A car?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Lory? Make it the morgue. Alright, Louis, Oh, it's about time.
I don't enjoy wait now for affair outside of the morgue.
I get morebid thoughts. What do you want?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
I should take you back to REGOs, to REGOs with
mister Temple. I got a suggestion, why don't we just
stay here and send for Rego?
Speaker 9 (19:50):
You know, then after he got through with this, we
could move right into the morgue without bothering nobody.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I should rather have been a truck driver.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh you went an Iceland?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
My brother, Well, he keeps telling them, Louie says, you
should be a truck driver.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You're in manners, wanted to be polite to people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Why not they help distress motorist when they're in distress.
Why how you shouldn't be a red hog?
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And about everything else?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He says, you don't have to associate with rif rat.
So I listen to him.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
No, I stay a cat driver, And I visit the morgue.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Oh, mister Temple, what did you do there?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Looked at the corps they fished out.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Of the harbor.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
He improved in appearance hardly.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
However, I did suggest that the officer in charge that
he get in touch immediately with Sparah's dentist.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh wow, all the corpse has a toothacher.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Oh, I don't know, but it's possible, Louis, it's possible.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
We go, we go, it.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Says, he let me in.
Speaker 2 (20:54):

Loving? I see things? You sure you'd come along?
Speaker 8 (21:08):

with you, only you can't see him.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
You're drunk.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
M I wish I was drunker Regal.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
You killed Collins, that's all. You wouldn't have killed him
on speculation. You must have found glease On yourself, got
the jewels from him. Then you killed Colins so you.

Could keep them all maybe your nuts.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I want my share, so you'll come right over and
ask finely like i'd buy my Collins off on the
kind of those stones.

He was shot through that window. Simon, Please believe me.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Mm window glass talking about the bullets these is a
glass fell into the room.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Hum m, someone outside shot Torigo.
Speaker 7 (23:05):

must know that we know we're in the light.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Oh is it ever?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
Sorry before? But I think I could name him? Keep talking, Susan.
I'm going to work my way around to the wall
next to the window. As soon as I get there.
Put the lights out in.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Here, the lights.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Why you're near the switch, don't look at it for
rights to.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Your left, a little higher than your waist. Turn a
bit away from me, slide one hand.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Behind your back.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
What are you going to do with Simon?
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Do out the window as soon as the lights I'm scartch.
Nothing to worry about, I've said, Susan. Got your finger
on the switch?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yes, alright, then let's have a little darkness.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Yeah, much better, Susan. Put the lights on inside.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
All Timon, Simon, did you Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
A little stranger is resting. Do you recognize him?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
No, I've never seen and perhaps i'd better introduce you
to him. Susan, meet mister Sparrow.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
So all right, mister Temple, the guy you in the
outside of Rigo's house was Sparrow. Yeah, so he.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Killed REGOs So he also killed Collins.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Oh, but he was dead, no, Lois, They checked with
Sparrow's dentist.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
It wasn't Sparrow in the morgue.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Or sure, sure he was out shooting people.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
But if it wasn't Sparrow, who was the night watchman
gleased him?
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Oh, you mean instead of Gleas' knocking off Sparrow, it
was Sparrow, which not for Gleason, That's.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Right, Lewis.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Then he emptied Gleason's pockets.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
And put his own papers in them. He hoped that
would result in the police looking for Gleeson. Yeah, he
also hoped it would throw Collins and Rego off. It
did until he could kill them and keep.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
The jewels for himself. It's a very low type. Oh,
you must have known before your court Sparrow on a color.
You know, you told the cups to look up that dentist.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
So how did you know.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Obviously Sparrow was in a hurry after he killed Gleason.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
The shots might have been heard. Therefore, he didn't have
time to change clothes with the dead man.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
All he could do is empty Gleason's pockets, have everything
that might have identified him and substitute his own identification, and.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
Then he hoped the water and the fishes would make
it impossible to identify gleasion.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Huh uh huh, but that still don't tell me. Literally,
it was too pat.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
What the only thing in the corpse his pocket turned
out to be is identification papers of course, otherwise unrecognizable.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Oh it's too pat and they're a fake.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Sure, okay, yeah, but there's something else you have to explain,
which is why ain't that beautiful blonde.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
With you, Susan? Oh, she's in conference at headquarters?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Is that soul?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
