terrible cold in my left eye.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Look, Henred has a gun in here. Where'd that come from? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, that's the pistol that Harry Clarkson used when he
had the job as a night watchman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That might be worth something.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, see, I won't hear some money on it for
East outfit.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Who's uh, I don't think i'll get moving UNDI fifteen
dollars for in the pawn.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Job though, now, well, of course it might be worth
a good deal more than that for somebody that really
needed the gun.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, that was angle to gud there. Yeah see, I
just think it Hinterry.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
If I was to let hand to think that he
was in danger some kind and needed a gun for protection,
I might be able to sell it to him with
a good praise.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah it's king Fish. I think that gun is your
best way to raise money. After all, it's the only
thing in that box with any monastery value.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Now, if I can just convinced that there's a desperate
killer loos in the neighborhood, I might be able to
sell him this gun. Oh I think I hear him
flopping down the hole and uh with them feats here.

He always sounds like it's on skiers. Yeah, here he comes.
Speaker 2 (04:47):

the door behind you with you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
What's up? Wasn't matter?
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Welland I just found out that about it, yester to myself.
I happened to be passing by the police station and
I dropped in to see what was new in down
the world. Well, I walked in and the first thing
I seed was the sergeant sitting behind the desk there
with a shotgun in one hand and the hand grenade
and the other.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Holy smoke, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
And it seems that there's a killer on the loose,
the most dangerous killer in the animals of crime. This
fellow has been killing about eight or ten people a day.
Or he don't care who he is, you know, Kingfish
with that fell on the loose. I'm getting a little
scared here of myself. Dude, they know what they look like. Yes,
he's about six foot two ways, about one hundred and
ninety five pounds, wears a blue shirt suit and goes
(05:27):
around with the axe in his hand.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
The axe. Yes, And as I understand it, he used
to be a lumberjack.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lumberjack saw me, King Fish, if ever comes to my place,
how on the world.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can I guard against him? Well, that's hard to say.

at one hundred and Sixtyeth Street, and judging from where
they find his victims, he is working his way downtown.
He is just waiting for him to hack his way
through our neighborhood.

Now Missus Jackson, to sum up your testimony. You state
that last Friday night, the defendant, George Stevens entered your pawnshop.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
I was about to close up when he walked in,
pointed a gun at me and said I want some money.
Speaker 15 (20:41):
I see, and upon seeing the gun, you fainted, thus
frightening the defendant, who ran from your store.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Thank you that will be all.
Speaker 14 (20:49):
There's the attorney for the defense, mister Stonewall. Care to
cross examine the witness?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Yeah, y'all, that's that what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I want to go.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Don't worry King's fish.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I got a question here that'll knock a dead.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Missus Jackson.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Is it not true that you formerly resided in Saint
Louis where you was a notorious fence for the Dude
Dragon mob.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
And is it not true.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Missus Jackson, that you served ten years in the state
penitent trip for receiving stolen good No, it is not.
Speaker 14 (21:27):
Guess I got the wrong Jackson. Hell counselor do you
have any more questions?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
No, she ain't the right woman, ain't.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Just argue with her.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Witness may step down and the defense may proceed. Thank you, Gianna.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
As a character witness from my client, I'd like to
call Andrew H.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Brown to the stand.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, coming right up, raise your right hand.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing
but the truth.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yes, I does all that.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
Now, mister Brown, before we start your testimony. You is
an old friend of the defendant, George King Fish Stevens.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes, I has known him a long time.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Now, how would you mind telling the court under just
what noble circumstances you.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Met the defendant? Well, it was about eighteen years ago.
To Carnival.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I reached in my pocket for my wallet and shook
hands with mister Stevens.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
All, thank you. Get down off the stand quickly.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
The counselor. You mean you don't want to ask the
witness anymore questions?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
What well he ain't doing me?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
No good?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Witness? Pace sat down?
Speaker 10 (22:45):
Yeah, at this point I would like to bring the defendant.
Mister George Stevens to the stand, hop up the chair there, but.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Cares no more. Raise your right hand. You swear to
hell shot the who shoot? And I got to shoot?
I do enfish?
Speaker 9 (22:59):
I think you don't the case already.
Speaker 14 (23:03):
Counselor, don't you realize a reprehensible remark like that indicates
that your legal perspicacity is negligible?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Man? Yeah? Will the counselor proceed with examination? Yes, you're honest.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Now, mister Stephen, I'd like to ask you a question
just because you went into Jackson's pond shop at ten
o'clock last night, stuck a loaded gun in Missus Jackson's
face and demanded money.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
That don't mean it was your intention to rob or
does it?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
No, does nothing, of course not.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
You just went in there and all you wanted to
do is yeah, you was only then Why was you
sneaking around the annah house?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
What's a tool? You'd just wanted to sound the gun?
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Yeah, And the reason you pointed in her face was
so that she could see that the inside.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Of the ball was all right.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I didn't want a gun in the face.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
Stomach job, No, take it easy, climb.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
At this point, Johanna, I'd like to show that my
client had no intention of committing a hold up and
to prove that pawn. I wished to state that my
client went into that pawn shop with a gun.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
That wouldn't fire under any circumstances.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
You have a gun right here in my hand. What
you can pull this trigger all you want.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
Yeah, I'd like to ask the cons permission to resign.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
From the.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Look here, Janna, I was innocent. I only went in
that pawn shot to pawn the gun. After the woman fitted.
I even tried to get a doctor the everything. Believe
I innocent.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
Well, mister Stevens, in view of the fact that you
took nothing from the pawn shop, and that you have
no previous record of robbery, plus the fact that your
story could very well be true.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I'm going to dismiss this case. Oh, thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
As mister Stevens, I wish to say that the arrest
of an innocent man like yourself is always regrettable.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You have my best wishes for the future.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Were the is John?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
I think I deserve a little pat on the back
of myself.

anxious to raise the money.

Yes, I used it one day last month to watch
the ice skaters in Central Park and I caught a
terrible cold in my left eye.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Look, Henred has a gun in here. Where'd that come from? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, that's the pistol that Harry Clarkson used when he
had the job as a night watchman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That might be worth something.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, see, I won't hear some money on it for
East outfit.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Who's uh, I don't think i'll get moving UNDI fifteen
dollars for in the pawn.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Job though, now, well, of course it might be worth
a good deal more than that for somebody that really
needed the gun.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, that was angle to gud there. Yeah see, I
just think it Hinterry.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
If I was to let hand to think that he
was in danger some kind and needed a gun for protection,
I might be able to sell it to him with
a good praise.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah it's king Fish. I think that gun is your
best way to raise money. After all, it's the only
thing in that box with any monastery value.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Now, if I can just convinced that there's a desperate
killer loos in the neighborhood, I might be able to
sell him this gun. Oh I think I hear him
flopping down the hole and uh with them feats here.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He always sounds like it's on skiers. Yeah, here he comes.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I had that King Fish come in there and locked
the door behind you with you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
What's up? Wasn't matter?
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Welland I just found out that about it, yester to myself.
I happened to be passing by the police station and
I dropped in to see what was new in down
the world. Well, I walked in and the first thing
I seed was the sergeant sitting behind the desk there
with a shotgun in one hand and the hand grenade
and the other.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Holy smoke, what's going on?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
And it seems that there's a killer on the loose,
the most dangerous killer in the animals of crime. This
fellow has been killing about eight or ten people a day.
Or he don't care who he is, you know, Kingfish
with that fell on the loose. I'm getting a little
scared here of myself. Dude, they know what they look like. Yes,
he's about six foot two ways, about one hundred and
ninety five pounds, wears a blue shirt suit and goes
(05:27):
around with the axe in his hand.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
The axe. Yes, And as I understand it, he used
to be a lumberjack.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lumberjack saw me, King Fish, if ever comes to my place,
how on the world.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can I guard against him? Well, that's hard to say.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And but if you was laying in bed at night
and you hear somebody holler timber, watch.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Out, that's what come to this King Fish?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Is they got any idea where he's operating right now?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Wait to see ander he started on this rampage up
at one hundred and Sixtyeth Street, and judging from where
they find his victims, he is working his way downtown.
He is just waiting for him to hack his way
through our neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That's well, what is.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I gonna do, Kingfish? I just ain't gonna hang around
here and be whittled to death.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, you got a problem there, alrighty. This boy can
give you a pretty deep hair cut in there.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah. See, you know he can do more damage with
that than the boys coach say. But uh, wait a minute,
there must be some way we can protect ourselves. King Fish, yeah,

Speaker 10 (21:18):
Missus Jackson, that you served ten years in the state
penitent trip for receiving stolen good No, it is not.
Speaker 14 (21:27):
Guess I got the wrong Jackson. Hell counselor do you
have any more questions?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
No, she ain't the right woman, ain't.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Just argue with her.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Witness may step down and the defense may proceed. Thank you, Gianna.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
As a character witness from my client, I'd like to
call Andrew H.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Brown to the stand.
Speaker 3 (21:54):

Now, mister Brown, before we start your testimony. You is
an old friend of the defendant, George King Fish Stevens.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes, I has known him a long time.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Now, how would you mind telling the court under just
what noble circumstances you.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Met the defendant? Well, it was about eighteen years ago.
To Carnival.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I reached in my pocket for my wallet and shook
hands with mister Stevens.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
All, thank you. Get down off the stand quickly.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
The counselor. You mean you don't want to ask the
witness anymore questions?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
What well he ain't doing me?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
No good?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Witness? Pace sat down?
Speaker 10 (22:45):

Counselor, don't you realize a reprehensible remark like that indicates
that your legal perspicacity is negligible?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Man? Yeah? Will the counselor proceed with examination? Yes, you're honest.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Now, mister Stephen, I'd like to ask you a question
just because you went into Jackson's pond shop at ten
o'clock last night, stuck a loaded gun in Missus Jackson's
face and demanded money.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
That don't mean it was your intention to rob or
does it?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
No, does nothing, of course not.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
You just went in there and all you wanted to
do is yeah, you was only then Why was you
sneaking around the annah house?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
What's a tool? You'd just wanted to sound the gun?
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Yeah, And the reason you pointed in her face was
so that she could see that the inside.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Of the ball was all right.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I didn't want a gun in the face.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
Stomach job, No, take it easy, climb.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
At this point, Johanna, I'd like to show that my
client had no intention of committing a hold up and
to prove that pawn. I wished to state that my
client went into that pawn shop with a gun.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
That wouldn't fire under any circumstances.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
You have a gun right here in my hand. What
you can pull this trigger all you want.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
Yeah, I'd like to ask the cons permission to resign.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
From the.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Look here, Janna, I was innocent. I only went in
that pawn shot to pawn the gun. After the woman fitted.
I even tried to get a doctor the everything. Believe
I innocent.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
Well, mister Stevens, in view of the fact that you
took nothing from the pawn shop, and that you have
no previous record of robbery, plus the fact that your
story could very well be true.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I'm going to dismiss this case. Oh, thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
As mister Stevens, I wish to say that the arrest
of an innocent man like yourself is always regrettable.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You have my best wishes for the future.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Were the is John?
Speaker 9 (25:13):

anxious to raise the money.
