Fred let's get back to it

you were pretty angry I wasn't that angry fracture i was annoyed that wreck

was here but I was in complete control of myself bread as a friend and as a

public official i suggest you get a lawyer before you talk anymore about it

the witnesses have been dismissed her thanks not just well I guess we better

get downtown to Frank I didn't kill any rec there are two things you're gonna

have to face up to one many witnesses will swear to the jury that you were

holding the death weapon was quiet i didn't fire that gun it just went off

yet why you own it and two it's common knowledge that you fired wreck when you

call him sabotaging your circulation deliveries there was bad blood between

you and him and the state can make a pretty good case out of that i'm telling

you i did not fire that gun

Britt I strongly advise against that line of defense

ok there's only one person that can help me now who the green hornet what are you

talking about i'm leaving not just a minute but I can't give you any special

privileges

don't make it any more difficult than it is Frank I am fighting for my life don't

try and stop me i was up

doing worse trouble now when we stopped first I have to find out how it was done

the secret must be in that gun should examine it immediately you can walk into

the police station and take it

no I'll tell you who can

remember we wanted to look like we're in here to break out of pressure

I'll try to find it

yeah

yeah

tell circulation will make the delivery time just put some heat on the composing

room mr. hi this is a disgrace the cold-blooded killing took place in the

Sentinel publishers living room as he fired the fatal shot the unarmed brack

who would come to the party to patch up differences with his former employer you

can't put this in the Sentinel you think I want to print this story then don't

we've got to this is the toughest story i had to write but it contains the facts

as they happen but you make it a foregone conclusion that mr. Reed is

guilty even before he has a trial then in desperate escape read attack the da

Scanlon and fled under a hail of police bullets you're using his own newspaper

to convict him

you think I've forgotten what I Oh Britt Reid forgiving you start again

you think I like running this story yes so I do I think you're using your

position is temporary publisher let go with your true feelings I think you hate

mr. you wouldn't be doing this and you hate him because your paper couldn't

compete with the sentinel and that's why it went under

if there was a shred of mitigating evidence i printed in 10 . read type but

there isn't you say the story is rough because of his feelings mr. Reed wait

till you see how the tabloids treated these are the facts pure and simple and

we've got to put them in the Sentinel this is going to put them in the

electric chair

it couldn't you bury the story somewhere in the back pages let me have it

I i'll try and tone it down

I don't know a thing more than i did kato the mechanism on that gun work

perfectly

we felt different lighter all that for nothing

do you remember if there was a cartridge clip in that gun when I opened the

package

no I didn't take a good look i was getting refreshments if there was a clip

it wasn't in the gun and wasn't listed on the evidence ticket delhi talk to get

away from you right after it find he also gave it to me from I can't believe

Dale do something like they're still the number one suspect or somebody's trying

to make it look that way

let's find out kato all transportation depose of being closely watched by

police let's greet attempts to leave the country

please the confident the young publisher still in town and feel his capture is

imminent

put that on page one that sounds like page one stuff to me britt what are you

doing here

you turning yourself in no not yet i'm trying to find out what really happened

at that party I am I hope you don't mind my using your office i thought i could

work better here until you get back if you get back

do tell me where did the gun come from a power sporting goods right here in town

we all thought it would make a fine addition to your gun collection could

someone have tampered with it possibly was bought at the store and a messenger

delivered it

miss case wrote the note on the card and took it to your house

please checking out the store in the morning Dale that gun was fired by

remote control

sounds a little like science fiction to me how could that be done

I don't know yet do you remember if the gun felt odd to you when you grabbed it

from me

well I wasn't paying too much attention to it I I was more concerned about Eddie

wreck when I held the gun it felt like it had a fully loaded clip it could have

contained an automatic firing device

well if it did ballistics should have it that's right they should but do they get

give yourself up

they're just getting in deeper trying to investigate this yourself let me do it

will have the entire paper at our disposal now we've been friends too long

for me to stand by and see you destroy yourself if I turn myself in

I may be in for good now you've put me in a very difficult position coming here

alright I'll leaf Dale do me one last favor call the police as though you're

following through on the story see if the clip was picked up with the gun all

right Britt where can I reach i'll be at the commercial cleaning plant on

fifty-eighth Street near the loading duck may be there in two hours

I'll find out what I can thanks Dale

good luck

get me the police quickly

this is important listen closely

you want to find Britt Reid

we have the commercial cleaners on fifty-eighth Street of 330 near the

loading dock

never mind this is just the alert he's armed and dangerous

right I haven't got too much time was gonna ask you a favor

just name it Britt Reid what about him

no shooting well I can't do that

our information is that he's armed and dangerous lieutenant every town has a

case like this receive all sorts of crank calls and that's probably all it

was

well that may be so but we still have to check it out now read shot and killed a

man tonight and broke arrest now in my book that makes him doubly dangerous and

my office has been instructed to act accordingly

your job is to bring him and for trial until he's been tried and found guilty

and he is very wise to just flatly say that he killed a man now looks like now

when you face these guys they're in a courtroom and cuffed and guarded by my

men when we face them out in the street we have no idea where they have an

intent to kill or not and I can't walk up to a monopoly shake hands you know

Tony I've known Britt Reid a long time I can't believe that he kill anybody in

cold blood

now look this is something you know just as well as I do that the majority of

murders are committed by someone who was closely related to our very well known

by the dead person or a business associate they had an argument with now

whether that business associate is a is a steel worker or a newspaper manner or

let me tell you something else too

if Britt Reid is at the commercial cleaners and he resists to rest a minute

instructions to act accordingly they have said that twice what does it mean

it means we're going to get him one way or the other

I'll get back to someone like you

you're walking right into a trap

we don't know for certain that Dale is responsible we don't have any proof

this is no way to find out what other choice do I have kato I know I didn't

pull the trigger even though it appeared i did and they might be just as innocent

we're walking into a trap i'll have to get myself out of it will be no worse

off than I am now at least we'll know for certain the day was the man

yeah

police officers with your hands up high and walk this way

don't try read there's no way out

I checked around the other infants you cover the alley

and

what

yeah

No

yeah

do hide must have been delayed

well now we know he's the man how you gonna prove it there was a clip in that

gun I'd stake my life on it

you just did but where is it now somebody must have seen him dispose of

it

drive to miss cases apart

yeah

yeah

are you alright

yes but I need your help anything mr. Reed try to remember everything that you

saw at that party in every detail because you were opening your present

you turn the saw Eddie rack

then

tail gave Eddie

his favor

yeah

do you remember what it was a little transistor radio doubt then what then

the gunfire to remember everything that happened from there on Dale took the gun

from you and

knelt down beside Eddie then

he turned his back then then

he gave the gun to mr. Scanlon if I went upstairs to get a first aid kit just in

case he wasn't dead what was Dale doing he was on the phone then he put

something into the flowers on the bar but I couldn't see what it was then

let's find out k do

it's over there speaks off the police are still watching the house

like some kind of electronic equipment and it could trigger the firing

mechanism i made it fired Eddie rake instead of somebody else want to check

one more thing then I'll give myself up to the district attorney right here hide

can denied everything

how can you prove he knew anything about it if I'm right I'll make him admit it

in front of witnesses and now ladies and gentlemen we shall reenact the crime

you'll notice I did not say accident

here's the murder weapon there's a shell in the chamber just as there was when i

opened the present but it's not exactly the same i'll need the magazine clip

what's this all about

please will you let him finish

Dale will you please stand over there where Eddie wreck stood sure thank you

now position the gun here on the table to eliminate any chance for human error

now walk towards me wait just a minute I forgot something you had just given

Eddie wreck a favor

do you remember what it was not offhand I believe it was a small transistor

radio but should be here in Eddie's effects

yes here it is

now walk towards me what is all this I'm not on trial here that we just want your

help mr. hi do you have any reason for not giving it come all the way dale as

if you were going to shake hands with me

this is ridiculous

I'll show you why you had a change of heart because you knew if you got any

closer

the gun would go off his radio contains a small electronic transmitter when it's

brought close enough its signal will fire the gun

I don't know what you're talking about

then I'll demonstrate

only this time the gun was loaded with a blank shell should have kept walking

Dale I would have had a hard time proving it was you who killed Eddie

wreck

kinda way do I don't take orders from you anymore

this case you're going to be my ticket out of here

don't move you're going with me in this case to make sure i get out of here I'll

kill the first person who tries to stop me

yeah

let's go

go ahead

now

delhi to be grateful of history for giving him a job probably not this paper

wonder because i couldn't compete with us and nobody never saw it that way he

was going to take over the 70 any way that he could you came pretty close to a

Brit it just as a matter of interest

what kind of story would you have written i would put the facts on page

one but there are a number of ways of presenting the facts hides way is to try

to suspect in newsprint that way it's impossible to get an unbiased jury

whether you're going to write the story on Dale know Mike you write won't be

easy to write it the way it happened without convicting him good luck you

know for a moment there I thought I was on my way to Brazil with Dale you've

been complaining you wanted a vacation

yes how about it you've got it on the way to the office take a whole hour for

lunch

mmm

yeah
