registered the police are probably

looking for me right now back in

Avalon they'll send word on

guy at the bar getting a drink keeps

looking at us at least I think he's

looking at

us he's

gone

listen

Hank you aren't the only dude with a

problem in a way you and I got the same

trouble except you're trying to find a

bird and I'm trying to lose one I guess

so of course if I get cut well it's a

pain in a net but uh you get

cut

[Music]

well Hank what do you say we give it a

he

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

uh

[Applause]

[Music]

so if I turn myself in admit that I'm

alive they're going to say that I

swindled your Mr Dexter out of

$37,000 and then trying to get away I

killed Jerry to cover my tracks and if

you go on being Jerry

Strand you know nothing about him yet

after two drinks on the steamer you

agreed to switch identities with him

what can I tell

you excuse me Mr Dexter called back Mr

Mason he's a a able to you representing

Mr Carol and he'll go along with the

financial Arrangements meanwhile he'll

keep the whole thing confidential thanks

D thank you very much that's really a

load off of my mind now if I could just

find out what happened to Joy and the

money all right you say you gave her the

check so that she could deliver the cash

to the seller but you never saw the

money no but I do have this now this is

Jerry's money I found it in his trunk

that's why I changed my mind and went

back to find him I see Jerry Strand had

all this money in the trunk of his car

but he had to borrow $50 from you that's

right that's right Mr Carol you left me

waiting at the Yacht Club you knew I was

aware of the missing

cash and wouldn't it seem I'd be the

last person you'd come

to I was reading my obituary in the

paper they said some real nice

things then I saw your picture that case

in Catalina and I remembered our talk on

the island and you were very decent

about it Mr Carol now Mr Mason I know

this doesn't make any sense but what am

I going to

do all

right you stay away from the cottage

today we don't know who was looking over

Jerry's car but we can't have him knock

on what he thinks is Jerry's door and

find you

there I'd better put this in my

safe will you pardon me please

[Applause]

[Applause]

please his story is so wild it's hard to

believe he's invented it do you think

he's telling the truth I don't

know but I'd like to find sign up put

this in the safe then after Hank signs

the Dexter papers take him to lunch a

quiet secluded restaurant a long

leisurely lunch may maybe a movie I want

him out of circulation as long as

possible where are you going to be on a

boat for Hank Carrol's Burial at

Sea Hank Carol loved the sea indeed it

filled his life since the tragic loss of

his beloved wife Edna 8 years ago so we

find it entirely fitting and proper

those of us who loved him his friends

and Associates should carry out his

fervently expressed wish to be buried at

Sea my dear if you would

please just

here we wish Hank Harrell Eternal

peace in the words of the poet

Twilight An Evening Star and one clear

call for

me at get to me especially when it's a

close

friend I still can't believe it of old

Hank he of all people would run off with

the client's

money is that what happened oh I can't

swear that he embezzled it but the thing

is he had no Savvy about money when this

last deal came up he didn't even know

how to handle a cash transaction I had

to make the arrangement with the bank to

cash a $37,000 check it wasn't very

bright of Hank to Endor the check if he

intended to have gone with the

money oh Alice this is Perry M Alice

bton B uh Hank and I shared an office

and uh Alice ran my insurance business

and Hank's yacht brokerage couldn't do

without

her Reverend bu told me Hank had asked

him to perform the marriage

ceremony oh poor Hank he was deluding

himself he decided to buy a honeymoon

Cottage he even fooled Dave into

throwing a bachelor dinner for

him why do you say he was deluding

himself because there was never going to

be any wedding it was all in Hank's mind

I didn't know anything about a honeymoon

Cottage you've spent so much time in

Florida lately you had no idea how Hank

was up in the air about that little

I understood he was marrying a joy

Montgomery who disappeared the night of

disappeared it's a shame she didn't or

even better if she never appeared in the

first

place how could she have the Colossal

nerve after using Hank the way she did

to show up for his

funeral she's

[Music]

here

excuse

me

Dave you have any idea what happened to

the money I heard you'd left the island

for a day or so on the mainland when I

read about Hank I came back I suppose

You' talked to the police about the

missing money oh sure I cast a check cuz

Hank asked me to and gave him $37,000 in

new

bills that was the last time I saw son

and it must have been a terrible shock

the man you were planning to marry

killed while absconding with I wasn't

planning to marry

Hank the marriage plans were all in his

mind well they certainly weren't in

mine

hi did Paul get off I dropped him at the

airport he's on his way to Florida most

of the names in Jerry strand's wallet

are in the Miami area why was Jerry

Strand carrying all that money Paul

finds the answer to that question maybe

some of this will begin to make sense

did you enjoy the funeral they more than

most on the way back four Paul bearers

and joy Montgomery got seasick Joy

Montgomery but Hank said I know what

Hank said she said she gave the money to

Hank and said she never even considered

marrying him I don't believe her I

believe Hank it's getting harder all the

time to believe good old Hank by the

time we'd had lunch he told me every

romantic detail and he was so sincere so

plaintive tears came to your eyes and

you knew he was telling the truth as a

matter of fact yes you want to be a

cynic okay but I know if there were no

marriage plans not even witful Hank

would have gone that far planned his

retirement brought a cottage here on the

mainland it doesn't make sense nether

there switching identities with Jerry

Strand make

[Applause]

sense

but if Hank's telling the truth then Joy

Montgomery lied to me I know she did if

she didn't intend marrying Hank then why

did she go to a decorator shop and

select all the furniture for their

honeymoon

Cottage Joy did that Joy did that she

was a very sharp lady with elegant taste

we'd already agreed on fabrics and

colors some very Exquisite pieces she

told you she was the future Mrs Hank

Caroll that's right in fact she said she

was getting married soon never heard of

any wedding

plans was this the

woman I

know but you just said she was the

future Mrs Han Caroll that's what I said

but not this girl she was a more mature

woman Fort Lauderdale isn't a happy

hunting ground for every quick operator

that comes along trying to make a fast

button what is this a perfect stranger

makes a telephone call and suddenly

you're Mr Hospitality I mean why because

I'm worried about Jerry and this man

knows about him I will bet you that this

man is either looking for Jerry to

collect on a poker debt or he is a

friend of Jerry's who thinks he's going

to live off of us for a weekend well

details on why your client or the girl

he killed burned up maybe 30 or 40,000

bucks in his fireplace why would anybody

burn money unless it was counterfeit

Perry you know me I'm a simple soul but

even I thought of that Treasury

Department checked it out it was real

money and brand new who's the

lady my

mother very proud of my service as a

city always wanted to see where I worked

now butt out will you liened I just

thought you might be interested in

knowing about Jerry Strand were you a

butt out I'm Perry Mason how do you do

I'm Arlene Pagan I I came all the way

from Fort Lauderdale you see uh my

employer Howard mise and I were very

close to

Jerry and when I heard on the television

news that Jerry had been arrested I I

flew here myself because well Mr maliss

was away on a fishing trip and it's

begun Jerry Strand is dead buried see as

Hank

Caroll oh my

God are you all right oh my God now

she's not the kind that breaks easily if

I'm any judge of women if you were any

judge of women you'd have known Arlene

wasn't malisa's wife I didn't know it I

said they acted married they kept on

smiling sweetly sticking pence in each

other tellas check on the time Marlene

left Florida she said maliss was away on

a fishing trip that's why she came alone

well that makes sense M went deep sea

fishing the day after I was there I

don't know he stepped on a fish lure

anyway the coast guards had to take him

to Miami to the hospital when blood

poisoning set in he's back at home now

under a doctor's care and

inaccessible yes

D yes put him

on hello Mr Wallen

I I came as soon as I heard Hank alive I

I couldn't believe it at first listen

I've got to talk with

him you you see they're putting pressure

on me because I okayed that $37,000

check I'm sorry Mr W but for now I can't

allow anyone to talk to Hank I'll let

you know good

night PA if

[Music]

Walland this is the the most confusing

impossible

case I don't believe

it I don't believe

[Music]

it the people will prove that he lied

ladies and gentlemen of the

jury in fact he left the trail of Lies

halfway across the state of

California he lied when he contrived to

defraud a boat buyer he lied when he ran

away he lied to Jerry strand when he

convinced strand to exchange

identities he

lied when he played the role of a dead

man now the deceit in Joy Montgomery she

sensed the fraud divined the lie went to

his secret Hideway where she confronted

him and

there he killed

her again he ran This Time by train and

when he was finally apprehended by the

police he tried one one more last

desperate

Lie by explaining his flight as a

kidnapping

huh now the people will piece together

all the fabric of this section and will

proed Beyond reasonable

doubt that the defendant Hank Carol was

finally caught in a net of his own

lies no I didn't think it was exactly a

lie please miss Burton

we don't want to hear what you think but

what you know to be a fact all right I

know Hank believed he was getting

married Joy let him believe it and I

told her so I

see so after he had made plans had

attended a stag party had bought a house

he found out what everyone else knew all

along that Joy had deceived him

objection leading the witness calling

for a conclusion hearsay and assuming

facts not in evidence withdraw the

question through the way this Mr

Mason Miss Burton what did you tell Joy

Montgomery when you learned that the

defendant was going to marry her I told

her I thought it was a joke she was all

wrong for Hank she just wasn't suitable

as compared to

whom are you trying to say I was jealous

of her I'm not trying to say anything

I'm asking you a question the answer is

no I felt sorry for Hank but I wasn't

jealous thank you Miss Burton

[Applause]

one thing

more I have here people's exhibit three

it's an invoice from leonam

decorators have you ever seen it

before yes will you please tell the

court why you signed this invoice as

received by you at the defendant's

cottage I have been perfectly honest I

haven't denied that I was fond of Hank

and I don't deny it now

I helped him furnish the place are we to

understand that you were so fond of him

that you selflessly helped him select

furniture for the cottage he'd bought

for another woman Hank asked me some

questions and I thought he was hinting

around that he wanted you to share that

Cottage no that he needed advice in

selecting things Miss Burton did you

also help plan the bachelor party for

the

defendant I don't know anything about

that you'll have to ask Dave

wallant why sure I kept the party a

secret till the last minute it was

supposed to be a surprise then isn't it

true that the defendant who intended to

be with his fiance that night was

unexpectedly not able to do that well I

guess that's the way it turned

out and she use that time to get away

with the cash I don't know that Mr

Wallen who introduced Joy Montgomery to

Mr Carroll I

did and now Mr one tell me

this did you did you ever visit the

cottage

purchas Carol well I

um I I didn't know about it before till

till Hank took off I didn't ask you that

I asked you if you had ever visited that

Cottage I'll have to

think Mr wallant I do want to be

fair it's already been established the

police question Neighbors about people

who were seen in that area prior to the

[Applause]

murder now

did you go to that

Cottage yes yes I did go out there you

see I didn't know about the place before

I spent a lot of my time down at my

place at Surfside that's in Miami Beach

so it came as a complete surprise to me

when Miss Burton told me that Hank had

bought the cottage now I figured maybe

he left the money there see there was a

lot of pressure on me from the bank

because I okay that 30 $7,000

check no further

questions the people call Miss Arlene

forone no I wasn't surprised when Jerry

was missing he was in Hawk up to his

ears I told him Mr maliss wouldn't bail

him out again so I supposed he'd done

the only thing he could do just drop out

of

sight as far as you know he had no

considerable amount of money when he

left

Miami not thousands and thousands of

dollars if that's what you're driving

at that's exactly what I'm getting

at you're

witness Mr Gan you

testified Mr mise wouldn't bail him out

again are we then to infer that until

this last time he had paid Jerry

strand's

debts well yes as I said I wrote the

checks myself many times why

[Applause]

I don't understand I mean why would your

employer feel

obligated I'm Mr M's secretary I just do

what I'm

told as his secretary did Mr M tell you

to come to Los Angeles when you thought

Jerry was in trouble he was away on a

fishing trip and when I heard on the

television news that Jerry had been

arrested for murder I thought he would

want me to come here and I

did thank

you

that

all so now that's quite

enough are the people call Lieutenant

arthor track so we notifi police at

every stop of vamr train number 79 and

the result the defendant got off of San

Francisco and he was arrested

immediately on the platform by local

police was he with anyone like a

kidnapper no the defendant was alone

when he was

apprehended you're withness

Lieutenant did you examine the fireplace

at the murder site yes and somebody had

built a fire in it well you can that

unusual well this one was he had uh

burnt up a considerable sum of money

perhaps 30 or

$40,000 who is

he was a defendant it was his

house thank

you uh Mr Mason do you move to strike

that last answer as conclusionary no

your honor I'm quite willing to have it

stand the jury can make its own

conclusions your honor that concludes

the people's

case are you ready to proceed with the

case for the defense Mr Mason there

honor the defense moves for the

dismissal of all charges against the

defendant Henry

Carroll on what grounds ever since his

opening statement and over and over in

questioning Witnesses Mr Bergers

contended the defendant's sole

motivation in this case was money so so

is it conceivable that once he had sold

ownership of all that money you say he

lied and killed for he then build a

bonfire with it burned it in his

fireplace oh your honor without some

explanation for that totally irrational

action the prosecution has no motive

whatever for Hank Carroll to have

murdered Joy Montgomery a much more than

Reasonable Doubt exists therefore I

strongly urge that all charges be

dismissed the defendant your once again

we have an instance of council's

well-known propensity for courtroom

maneuver we have been told that he holds

in trust an amount of money roughly

equivalent to that stolen by the def how

do you explain the burned money that's

enough

gentlemen I'm uh going to give proper

consideration to the motion in the

meantime I'll declare a recess until

10:00 tomorrow morning and at that time

Mr Mason you have the money here in

court I think I've been making the same

mistake right from the beginning I

haven't been accepting the possibility

that all all of those wild ridiculous

things that Hank's been telling me have

been

true if they are true

did you check it out with the treasury

Department better from a guy who spent

10 years in Lenwood for being an expert

so so he says it's a number one phony

the only flaw is the hair over Jackson's

ear did you try to name Lippy on him

well that's when I got a Bonus Lippy

operates in San Francisco and he's got a

contact in Florida that's

it the court will take custody of the

money I agree with you Mr Burger it is a

departure from traditional practice but

I've denied the defense motion for

dismissal and the witness is vital to Mr

Mason's case but how can a jury

concentrate on substance when they're

being subjected to all the paraphernalia

of of of of Show Business there's no

other way to obtain Mr M's testimony

without endangering his health we've

already determined that from his doctors

pardon me we're going to be ready to go

on just a minute fine Paul well I'm not

against pioneering or new techniques but

I am against all this razzled Dazzle

calculated to confuse the issues I'm

sure your predecessors were concerned

when clerks stopped using quill pens

this is hardly pioneering variations of

this technique are being being used in

other courts we're all set oh

good since the witness is unable to

appear in person and with the agreement

of the concerned

parties I am allowing the use of

electronic equipment in this courtroom

to examine the witness I want to remind

the witness that he is under oath and

legally accountable for every word of

testimony just as if he were physically

present here in this courtroom proceed

Mr bise we appreciate your cooperation

oh that's that's okay I'm getting kind

of a kick out of it you know the camera

and all Mr bise I'm going to show you

defense exhibit a it's a package of

money which the defendant obtained from

Jerry

Strand Jerry never had that much money

in his

life Mr M I want you to look at this

bill

carefully you recognize

it well yeah it's a it's a $20 bill

how am I supposed to recognize

it try examining the hair over Jackson's

ear is this the kind of Bill Lippy might

call a number one

phony I I I I don't know what you

mean this pleas isn't it true this

counterfeit money belongs to you no

isn't it a fact that you had someone

looking for Jerry Strand because he had

taken off with this package of your

counterfeit money no and that someone

called you asking for instructions and

you gave him orders to take Jerry Strand

oh look I'm a

I'm a very sick man I I can't take too

much of this will Council approach the

bench

please uh Mr Mason we are trying a

murder case not a counterfeit charge now

I want to know exactly where you're

headed you're honor I'm sure that Jerry

Strand was Melissa's paper hanger a

passer of counterfeit money so Steven

saw a chance to make a killing grabbed

the bundle of the phony money for

himself but there's no connection to Joy

Montgomery I can show there is Jerry

switched identities with my client so

that M's Contract Killer would chase him

instead of Jerry now that's the line of

questioning I want to pursue hey well

somebody tell me what's going

on proceed Mr Mason I'm going to advise

the witness of his rights Mr mise you

are U advised that you have a right to

retain counsel and that you need not

answer any questions which may be

self-incriminating

proceed Mr mise will you tell us when

you injured your foot it was the uh 27th

I believe uh yeah the first day out on

the gulf fishing was great but hot I

like you to turn your attention to the

26 the last day you spent at home before

leaving on that fishing trip did you

receive two telephone calls that day

from Los

Angeles I don't remember the telephone

company will Mr mise with the time and

the length and the point of

origination yeah I do remember uh uh one

call just before I sailed on my boat

from a with news about Jerry just before

I sailed on my boat Mr Malay you're

denying under oath there was another

earlier call yes I'm denying it if there

was another call Arlene got it not

me now I don't have to answer any more

of this the judge just said so all right

Mr mise if you won't answer the question

we'll call someone who can miss ban that

telephone call Mr maliss does not

remember do you remember it no Miss ban

if you're protecting no I'm I'm I'm I'm

protecting no one if I had gotten that

call I would have told Mr maliss about

is it not true that you couldn't tell Mr

maliss about that call because you

learned that Jerry Strand was in Los

Angeles that he was apparently staying

in a cottage he had just bought and that

he intended to get married that doesn't

make any sense doesn't it when you

consider that the friend Mr mise

referred to in his testimony mistook the

defendant Hank Carol for Jerry

Strand you were right I I lied about the

phone

call to protect

him I did take that other call and I

told Howard about

it but then I found out that he'd given

orders for Jerry to be killed she's

lying she told me nothing order go on Mr

gun and as soon as he left for the

fishing trip I came here I I was hoping

that I could warn Jerry before The

Killers trapped him in that c but in

previous testimony you told the court

you came here because you thought Jerry

had been arrested for murder now you're

telling his it was to prevent him from

being murdered yes I told you I admitted

that I was lying before to like because

I didn't know what he would do but now I

am telling you the truth Miss ban why

would you risk everything to save

Jerry because I I was in love with him

is that why you helped him steal $50,000

in counterfeit money yeah you ungrateful

shut up you're a fool and you've always

been a fool all right Mr P Gan all right

you said it wasn't that TV report that

brought you to Los Angeles it was that

phone

call yes but it couldn't have been

because you thought he was going to be

killed that wasn't decided until Mr M

got the second call Miss ban isn't it a

fact that you came to Los Angeles

because you thought Jerry had run out on

you I hope they bury you in that chair

you you went to that Cottage and you saw

Joy Montgomery the girl you thought

Jerry was going to marry bending over

the money you thought you would help

Jerry steel and you killed

her I thought he was trying to use

me

and I

saw that girl kneeling

there with all that money in her

hands and all the

time sure was

dead this court will be in

recess the Bay will bring the witness to

my Chambers and Council will join me

there

[Music]

thank you very much Mr Miss thank the

next time you decide to switch

identities with somebody I'll to be a

little more careful sure now all I need

is to find somebody that will take on a

$37,000 debt a burned car and be

declared a wife again and pay his fee
