Subtitles by Seglora
3
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:12,238
-Good Night Harry
-Good Night Miss
4
00:03:11,163 --> 00:03:12,923
It's all very interesting Scott
5
00:03:14,776 --> 00:03:17,376
He killed her and they never caught him
6
00:03:17,443 --> 00:03:18,480
So what?
7
00:03:18,651 --> 00:03:20,819
Unfortunately that sort of
thing happens quite often
8
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,414
I've already devoted a chapter
of the book to it
9
00:03:24,045 --> 00:03:27,783
You promised me a story about an
innocent man wrongly convicted
10
00:03:28,097 --> 00:03:29,238
I did and you'll get it
11
00:03:30,238 --> 00:03:32,445
Right here in England
during the past five years
12
00:03:32,445 --> 00:03:34,143
Might have been written to order for you
13
00:03:34,143 --> 00:03:36,080
just start at the beginning
read on to the end
14
00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:39,493
Then that murder in the alley
was just the start of the story?
15
00:03:39,493 --> 00:03:41,897
Exactly and I covered the
rest of it,it's all there
16
00:03:42,204 --> 00:03:45,042
And when you read it I'll bet you a
bottle of scotch to a pint of milk
17
00:03:45,043 --> 00:03:46,930
It'll give you the best
chapter in your book
18
00:03:48,423 --> 00:03:49,565
I'll take you
19
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:56,849
The second murder occurred
nearly a year later
20
00:03:56,849 --> 00:04:01,059
at approximately at 10 o'clock on
the night of Thursday July 27th
21
00:04:01,222 --> 00:04:02,267
Rose Mallory
22
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:07,114
the dancer left the theatre on that fatal
night with her partner Marjorie Danns
23
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,291
It's going to rain
24
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:20,603
Well come on let's go to
Joe's and have a drink
25
00:04:46,468 --> 00:04:48,467
Come on you can't afford
any of that junk anyway
26
00:04:51,113 --> 00:04:52,679
-Hello Charlie
-Good Night Rosie
27
00:04:53,068 --> 00:04:54,978
-Good Night,Charlie
-Good Night
28
00:04:55,154 --> 00:04:56,246
Sorry
29
00:05:07,171 --> 00:05:08,270
Hi Joe
30
00:05:08,644 --> 00:05:11,737
Good Evening,ladies,what can I
have the honour of getting for you?
31
00:05:11,797 --> 00:05:13,985
Pack it up,Joe,give me a
double brandy and ginger ale
32
00:05:13,985 --> 00:05:17,554
-Yes,Miss,what for you,Madam
-The same only make it a small one
33
00:05:17,554 --> 00:05:19,731
Very well the (?) nun(?) would be
34
00:05:19,731 --> 00:05:20,764
What did you say?
35
00:05:21,012 --> 00:05:22,668
Nothing in the world,Miss
36
00:05:23,567 --> 00:05:25,762
Marjorie,I promised to meet Arthur tonight
37
00:05:25,923 --> 00:05:27,017
Arthur Groome?
38
00:05:28,017 --> 00:05:29,266
One fool, you
39
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:30,732
Not to me anyway
40
00:05:30,766 --> 00:05:32,495
That's just it,I can't stay here
41
00:05:32,756 --> 00:05:34,385
I got to get back to the digs and change
42
00:05:34,606 --> 00:05:37,413
Ed has got a couple of Manchester
big shots up for the motor show
43
00:05:37,949 --> 00:05:39,881
Ed want us to take us to Minnie's new place
44
00:05:40,450 --> 00:05:42,077
I wouldn't miss it for the world
45
00:05:43,180 --> 00:05:44,390
Watch your step,my dear
46
00:05:45,299 --> 00:05:47,527
-Watch it
-Marjorie be a pal
47
00:05:47,867 --> 00:05:49,347
Ten pound's tale
48
00:05:49,794 --> 00:05:51,574
Say I've got a headache
and gone home to bed
49
00:05:53,051 --> 00:05:55,448
I don't know,Arthur Groome
50
00:05:56,612 --> 00:05:57,765
Why do you bother with him?
51
00:05:59,943 --> 00:06:02,049
I like him,he's different
52
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,294
Makes you feel good to talk to him
53
00:06:07,248 --> 00:06:09,706
All right,it'll cost you a drink,though
54
00:06:09,951 --> 00:06:11,648
Tell Joe to give it to me while you go out
55
00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:14,350
Thanks,Marge,you're a pal
56
00:06:15,824 --> 00:06:18,200
Let him down lately,
he's got it bad
57
00:06:19,036 --> 00:06:20,093
OK
58
00:06:20,093 --> 00:06:21,149
Leave it to me
59
00:06:22,585 --> 00:06:23,964
-Joe my coat
-Yes,Miss
60
00:06:25,078 --> 00:06:27,037
-Thanks,Good Night
-Good Night
61
00:08:27,644 --> 00:08:28,652
Who are you?
62
00:08:34,044 --> 00:08:35,192
What do you want?
63
00:08:45,589 --> 00:08:46,643
Rose
64
00:08:54,838 --> 00:08:57,000
Rosie? Are you there,dear?
65
00:09:55,254 --> 00:09:57,392
-Sorry Mr
-It's all right
66
00:09:58,299 --> 00:09:59,697
Is it Groome,isn't it?
67
00:09:59,697 --> 00:10:02,775
-Yes
-Never forget a face
68
00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:30,993
Your clock must be fast
at least twenty minutes
69
00:10:30,993 --> 00:10:33,839
I told you before and I tell you
again,it's 10 minutes fast
70
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:34,839
I keep it so
71
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:38,505
In the hope we get an obstreperous
gentleman like yourself to leave the place
72
00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:40,491
at the time laid down by Act of Parliament
73
00:10:40,882 --> 00:10:42,097
It's not the landlord's wish
74
00:10:42,097 --> 00:10:43,623
Marjorie,where is Rose?
75
00:10:43,714 --> 00:10:45,293
She promised to meet me her ten to ten
76
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:48,206
That's all right,just buy me another
drink and I tell you all about it
77
00:10:48,778 --> 00:10:51,192
-What are you drinking?
-Large brandy and ginger ale
78
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:53,917
Large brandy and ginger ale,please Joe
79
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:55,622
Rose didn't forget you
80
00:10:55,736 --> 00:10:57,711
Did she leave me a
message? Is she all right?
81
00:10:57,808 --> 00:10:58,849
She's fine
82
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:01,054
She's had a bit of headache
went home straight to bed
83
00:11:02,086 --> 00:11:03,146
Are you sure?
84
00:11:03,283 --> 00:11:04,365
Of course I'm sure
85
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,019
Look,if you think I'm making this up
86
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:09,584
That's all right
87
00:11:09,684 --> 00:11:11,404
-Where are you going?
-To see Rose
88
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:13,283
No sense in that,she'd be asleep by now
89
00:11:13,283 --> 00:11:14,888
Maybe,but I want to make sure
90
00:11:20,507 --> 00:11:22,717
Well I tried,didn't I?
She can't say I didn't try
91
00:11:22,717 --> 00:11:25,311
There's none so blind
as dead that won't see
92
00:11:39,037 --> 00:11:40,180
Oh it's you is it?
93
00:11:42,674 --> 00:11:43,794
I want to see Miss Mallory
94
00:11:43,795 --> 00:11:45,834
This is a fine time to call I must say
95
00:11:45,834 --> 00:11:47,212
I must talk to her it's urgent
96
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,461
Did your key did she?
97
00:11:48,561 --> 00:11:52,937
She knows my mind all about that,I'll
thank you for handing it over to me now
98
00:11:56,356 --> 00:11:57,654
There is a light on in her room
99
00:11:57,753 --> 00:11:58,899
You listen to me,Mr Groome
100
00:11:58,899 --> 00:12:02,174
This is a respectable house and I don't
like gentlemen calling after ten
101
00:12:02,174 --> 00:12:04,965
Is she? Is there anyone with her?
102
00:12:05,065 --> 00:12:06,958
Should be out of my
house tomorrow if that is
103
00:12:12,885 --> 00:12:13,921
Rose?
104
00:12:17,105 --> 00:12:18,644
Rose,it's me Arthur
105
00:12:21,443 --> 00:12:22,535
Rose
106
00:12:38,271 --> 00:12:40,309
Rose,oh Rose
107
00:12:41,042 --> 00:12:43,632
Poor old my darling,Rose
108
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:45,415
Rose
109
00:13:13,807 --> 00:13:14,906
They gone?
110
00:13:14,906 --> 00:13:16,714
Yes Sir it's the ambulance leaving now
111
00:13:16,877 --> 00:13:17,921
Right
112
00:13:22,163 --> 00:13:24,136
All right Mrs Rogers I'm
glad you're still here
113
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,391
I want to ask you some questions
114
00:13:28,491 --> 00:13:29,515
Yes
115
00:13:29,906 --> 00:13:33,148
This man who visited Miss Mallory,
what do you think became of him?
116
00:13:33,148 --> 00:13:34,611
I couldn't say
117
00:13:35,157 --> 00:13:36,677
And his name you say is Groome?
118
00:13:37,097 --> 00:13:39,640
So he said anyway,Arthur Groome
119
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:40,881
You know where he lives?
120
00:13:40,981 --> 00:13:42,033
No
121
00:13:42,042 --> 00:13:43,809
-Here it's my carpet
-All right Mrs Rogers
122
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:46,069
All right after what's
happened in my house and my..
123
00:13:46,369 --> 00:13:47,462
You'll get it back
124
00:13:47,531 --> 00:13:48,531
It's daylight robbery
125
00:13:48,563 --> 00:13:51,263
Mrs Rogers please try to listen
to what I'm asking you
126
00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:53,893
This man Groome was he
Miss Mallory's boyfriend?
127
00:13:53,893 --> 00:13:55,726
He was a nuisance,I can tell you that
128
00:13:55,743 --> 00:13:56,783
How?
129
00:13:57,058 --> 00:13:59,865
Prowling around,nagging here,
making the poor girl's life miserable
130
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,136
Nagging about what?
131
00:14:01,137 --> 00:14:05,652
Everything,drinking,going out with
other men,having a good time
132
00:14:05,906 --> 00:14:07,478
-Jealous?
-Perhaps
133
00:14:07,525 --> 00:14:08,624
Did she like him?
134
00:14:09,173 --> 00:14:12,585
We would use straw for an
evening out now and then
135
00:14:12,733 --> 00:14:15,088
-Well that?
-You'll get it back,Mrs Rogers
136
00:14:15,953 --> 00:14:17,407
Did Groome had a job,do you know?
137
00:14:18,029 --> 00:14:19,608
-Aha?
-Did he have a job?
138
00:14:20,416 --> 00:14:23,482
A job in then family twit
if you'd ask me
139
00:14:23,494 --> 00:14:25,210
-What makes you say then?
-I know the type
140
00:14:25,272 --> 00:14:27,261
Nervous all the time in
case his wife found out
141
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,552
Anything else you can tell me about him?
142
00:14:30,505 --> 00:14:31,584
No
143
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,587
But you might ask at Joe's club
144
00:14:34,087 --> 00:14:37,048
That's where he meet her,from
what I heard on the telephone
145
00:14:37,148 --> 00:14:38,463
-Finished?
-Yes,Sir
146
00:14:38,902 --> 00:14:40,419
Bloke who did it must have been crazy
147
00:14:40,504 --> 00:14:41,545
Probably
148
00:14:41,884 --> 00:14:43,357
I don't think we need anymore here
149
00:14:43,726 --> 00:14:47,961
Thank you Mrs Rogers,we'll been in touch
with you again probably tomorrow,Good Night
150
00:14:48,076 --> 00:14:49,744
-Good Night,Madam
-Hey there,just a minute
151
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:50,871
Yes,Madam
152
00:14:50,925 --> 00:14:52,305
What about the rest of this mess?
153
00:14:52,306 --> 00:14:53,387
What about it?
154
00:14:53,473 --> 00:14:54,661
Who is going to clean it up?
155
00:14:55,316 --> 00:14:59,143
I've no idea,Madam,but whoever it
is have my sincerest sympathy
156
00:15:01,685 --> 00:15:03,295
Bloody college boy
157
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,884
I wonder if it is going to be of any use
158
00:15:11,983 --> 00:15:13,323
Maybe,Sir
159
00:15:15,191 --> 00:15:16,258
Maybe
160
00:16:28,272 --> 00:16:31,087
Arthur,Arthur!
161
00:16:32,884 --> 00:16:34,108
Yes
162
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:36,671
Yes,Mary,it's me
163
00:16:37,304 --> 00:16:38,431
You're very late
164
00:16:39,905 --> 00:16:41,037
Yes,I told you
165
00:16:42,149 --> 00:16:43,916
Thornton wanted to go through the accounts
166
00:16:46,169 --> 00:16:47,367
Is it all finished now?
167
00:16:48,651 --> 00:16:49,840
Yes
168
00:16:52,035 --> 00:16:53,224
All finished
169
00:16:53,962 --> 00:16:55,294
Was Mr Thornton pleased?
170
00:17:00,487 --> 00:17:01,945
Arthur can you hear me?
171
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:04,219
Yes,dear
172
00:17:06,432 --> 00:17:07,897
What's you doing out there?
173
00:17:08,414 --> 00:17:09,657
Why did you put out the light?
174
00:17:10,609 --> 00:17:11,716
Anything wrong?
175
00:17:14,422 --> 00:17:15,767
No,nothing
176
00:17:16,544 --> 00:17:17,584
How are kids?
177
00:17:17,897 --> 00:17:19,008
All right
178
00:17:19,785 --> 00:17:21,614
I took them to the zoo this afternoon
179
00:17:22,271 --> 00:17:24,186
Now Sheila is running
with a bit of temperature
180
00:17:24,271 --> 00:17:25,293
Temperature?
181
00:17:25,636 --> 00:17:28,666
Nothing serious,but you might
go and have a look at them
182
00:17:29,898 --> 00:17:31,318
Only don't wake them
183
00:19:39,118 --> 00:19:40,201
Mother
184
00:19:41,105 --> 00:19:42,114
Mummie
185
00:19:45,635 --> 00:19:47,272
It's all right,darling,I'm here
186
00:19:47,601 --> 00:19:48,649
Go to sleep
187
00:20:45,859 --> 00:20:47,644
I brought your coffee in here,dear
188
00:20:47,975 --> 00:20:50,421
-Darling,I really don't want it
-Please drink it
189
00:20:50,861 --> 00:20:52,017
Thanks
190
00:20:53,481 --> 00:20:54,928
Did you sleep badly?
191
00:20:55,028 --> 00:20:56,115
No I'm all right
192
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,992
You should feel better
if you'd eat something
193
00:20:58,396 --> 00:20:59,429
No thanks
194
00:20:59,529 --> 00:21:01,329
Daddy,look at me,no marks,
see any difference?
195
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:06,910
Go and get your clothes on
196
00:21:07,408 --> 00:21:08,454
Sheila
197
00:21:08,775 --> 00:21:10,352
Get back to bed at once
198
00:21:17,344 --> 00:21:19,136
There is something wrong isn't it Arthur?
199
00:21:19,883 --> 00:21:22,529
I felt it ever since you
came home last night
200
00:21:26,028 --> 00:21:27,842
Did Mr Thornton say anything?
201
00:21:28,766 --> 00:21:30,583
Yes,
202
00:21:30,863 --> 00:21:32,525
He picked up a ridiculous row
203
00:21:33,589 --> 00:21:35,381
About absolutely nothing at all
204
00:21:35,754 --> 00:21:37,016
But
205
00:21:38,544 --> 00:21:39,861
Please,Arthur
206
00:21:42,117 --> 00:21:44,345
If you don't tell me,how
can I possibly help you?
207
00:21:45,027 --> 00:21:47,108
But I have there's nothing else to say
208
00:21:47,441 --> 00:21:48,464
Isn't it?
209
00:21:50,449 --> 00:21:52,181
It's not just Thornton is it?
210
00:21:52,575 --> 00:21:54,306
Mary please don't ask me any more questions
211
00:21:58,241 --> 00:22:00,164
You'd better go or you'll
be late at your office
212
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,390
Mary
213
00:22:04,857 --> 00:22:05,885
I
214
00:22:06,751 --> 00:22:07,888
Don't worry,darling
215
00:22:08,613 --> 00:22:12,573
Tell me whenever you feel like it,
or not at all if you don't want to
216
00:22:22,130 --> 00:22:24,509
I love you,why did you think I married you?
217
00:22:42,777 --> 00:22:44,115
-No fingerprints
-No,Sir
218
00:22:44,386 --> 00:22:45,487
And this is the only lead?
219
00:22:46,138 --> 00:22:49,270
Not the only one,Sir,but the best
of the full bunch as you might say
220
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:51,146
N E steel
221
00:22:51,146 --> 00:22:54,336
North England Steelwork,Sir,in Sheffield
I'm flying up with it this afternoon
222
00:22:59,122 --> 00:23:01,038
Now what about this man Groome?
223
00:23:01,038 --> 00:23:02,859
There is no evidence against him so far,Sir
224
00:23:02,859 --> 00:23:05,001
No evidence but quite a bit of suspicion
225
00:23:05,654 --> 00:23:06,940
We are watching him,of course
226
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:09,309
but I must say I can't regard
him a very likely suspect
227
00:23:09,309 --> 00:23:10,430
Why not?
228
00:23:10,952 --> 00:23:12,569
Just doesn't seem to fit the pattern,Sir
229
00:23:13,503 --> 00:23:14,890
We checked up him pretty carefully
230
00:23:14,891 --> 00:23:17,812
and by all accounts he's a quiet
sort of fellow,good character
231
00:23:18,502 --> 00:23:19,841
fairly decent position
232
00:23:19,841 --> 00:23:23,259
family man with wife and two
children and a home at Richmond
233
00:23:23,822 --> 00:23:25,515
Rather long way from a maniac type
234
00:23:25,982 --> 00:23:28,471
And what is the maniac type,Inspector?
235
00:23:29,228 --> 00:23:30,232
I've no idea,Sir
236
00:23:30,232 --> 00:23:31,326
Right,it's all very fine
237
00:23:32,294 --> 00:23:35,139
But if he is all you say he wouldn't
be carrying on with a show girl
238
00:23:35,794 --> 00:23:36,835
Perhaps not,Sir
239
00:23:36,836 --> 00:23:38,812
but he wouldn't be the
first respectable husband
240
00:23:38,912 --> 00:23:40,521
to get a thing about a girl on the stage
241
00:23:40,521 --> 00:23:43,947
But it maybe only suspicion
but it all points to Groome so far
242
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,040
So let's not overlook
anything in that direction
243
00:23:46,963 --> 00:23:48,785
-And get a move on everybody
-Sir
244
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,104
Right
245
00:24:00,026 --> 00:24:03,496
Yes,it's one of ours,a lot we called in,
when we found they were defective
246
00:24:04,842 --> 00:24:06,441
See how it gings(?) here
247
00:24:07,199 --> 00:24:08,706
Faulty pin in the joint
248
00:24:09,850 --> 00:24:12,508
We were alerting our customers
to return the shipments
249
00:24:12,508 --> 00:24:16,140
but for one reason or another some of
them never seemed to get around to it
250
00:24:16,928 --> 00:24:18,385
A couple of shops in Birmingham
251
00:24:19,058 --> 00:24:20,168
One in Manchester
252
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:22,306
Two in Liverpool
253
00:24:22,406 --> 00:24:23,499
Any in London?
254
00:24:23,814 --> 00:24:24,903
London?
255
00:24:26,788 --> 00:24:30,302
-Yes,one in the London area 2, Tripps
-Tripps?
256
00:24:30,745 --> 00:24:33,437
Tripps,hardware store in Richmond
257
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:35,766
I bought half a dozen of these knives
258
00:24:35,766 --> 00:24:39,539
Nasty cheap little things but they
were all I could get at the time
259
00:24:39,941 --> 00:24:43,843
But whether this is exactly the one I
sold or not I don't know that I could say
260
00:24:43,873 --> 00:24:44,936
Rightly
261
00:24:45,036 --> 00:24:46,258
But did you sell one like it?
262
00:24:46,709 --> 00:24:48,626
Yes,Sir,and only one
263
00:24:48,626 --> 00:24:50,278
Last December
264
00:24:50,598 --> 00:24:51,787
I have the ticket here
265
00:24:52,392 --> 00:24:54,937
To a regular customer of
mine Mr Arthur Groome
266
00:25:34,278 --> 00:25:35,346
Arthur
267
00:25:35,624 --> 00:25:36,712
Yes,dear
268
00:25:37,392 --> 00:25:39,182
Inspector Sullivan is here
269
00:25:39,659 --> 00:25:41,083
He's been waiting to see you
270
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,566
You are Arthur Groome?
271
00:25:45,636 --> 00:25:46,691
Yes
272
00:25:46,745 --> 00:25:47,803
Mr Groome
273
00:25:47,903 --> 00:25:49,737
I'm enquiring into the
death of Rose Mallory
274
00:25:49,837 --> 00:25:52,362
Barnden Street,Earls Court on July 27th
275
00:25:53,069 --> 00:25:55,584
I'd be glad if you come to Richmond
Police Station with me
276
00:25:55,684 --> 00:25:57,307
as I think you might be able to help us
277
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:01,426
Yes,of course I come with
you to the police station
278
00:26:04,992 --> 00:26:07,315
I don't really see that I can
help you in your enquiries
279
00:26:08,836 --> 00:26:11,459
If you are trying find out something
that happened in Earls Court
280
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:14,174
I can only tell you that I haven't
been there for over a year
281
00:26:14,712 --> 00:26:15,807
Daddy
282
00:26:19,142 --> 00:26:20,540
Daddy
283
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:23,396
I'm sorry,Mr Groome,if you
wish to make a statement
284
00:26:23,396 --> 00:26:26,659
you may do so at the police station
I can't possibly do it one from you here
285
00:26:27,118 --> 00:26:29,615
What is it Arthur? What does it all mean?
286
00:26:30,657 --> 00:26:32,655
It must be a mistake of some kind
287
00:26:35,373 --> 00:26:36,389
Inspector
288
00:26:38,238 --> 00:26:40,037
May I speak to my wife alone for a moment?
289
00:26:40,821 --> 00:26:41,915
I'm sorry,Sir
290
00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:46,299
I don't suppose it would take very long
291
00:26:47,108 --> 00:26:48,272
All right,Inspector,I'm ready
292
00:26:48,272 --> 00:26:50,003
Wait a minute I'm coming with you
293
00:27:39,804 --> 00:27:42,524
I really think it'd better
if you left,Mrs Groome
294
00:27:42,685 --> 00:27:44,263
No thank you,I prefer to stay
295
00:27:44,494 --> 00:27:45,576
Very well
296
00:27:46,848 --> 00:27:49,308
I'm afraid we are going to
have to keep Mr Groome here
297
00:27:52,147 --> 00:27:53,221
Come in
298
00:28:02,122 --> 00:28:04,087
Mary,dear,I'm afraid you'll have to go home
299
00:28:04,122 --> 00:28:05,198
But why?
300
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:08,401
There are still a lot of enquiries
we have to make,Mrs Groome
301
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,109
But you told them,Arthur?
This evening at the house
302
00:28:12,517 --> 00:28:14,550
You haven't been in Earls
Court for over a year
303
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:17,654
Mr Groome I told you it's
not at all necessary
304
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:20,373
but if you will insist on making
a statement you may do so
305
00:28:53,833 --> 00:28:54,881
Come in
306
00:29:05,188 --> 00:29:08,016
Mrs Groome,I'm afraid I have some
rather serious news for you
307
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:11,172
Since we brought your husband here
308
00:29:11,172 --> 00:29:12,948
the enquiries we'd been making
309
00:29:12,948 --> 00:29:15,916
have led to he's been charged
with the murder of Rose Mallory
310
00:29:18,722 --> 00:29:20,884
But he said he didn't even know her
311
00:29:21,568 --> 00:29:22,924
I know,Mrs Groome
312
00:29:22,924 --> 00:29:26,707
But after he's been charged this
morning he made a further statement
313
00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:29,644
I fancy it was a bit nearer the truth
314
00:29:29,744 --> 00:29:32,637
from the one he made when we
first brought him in for enquiries
315
00:29:34,247 --> 00:29:36,204
But anyway it occurred to
me that it might be
316
00:29:37,174 --> 00:29:41,928
Well,easier for all concerned if you
got this sort of information direct
317
00:29:42,879 --> 00:29:46,637
Rather then,you know,through the
newspapers or anything like that
318
00:29:48,646 --> 00:29:50,045
I'm very grateful to you
319
00:29:52,097 --> 00:29:53,431
Please take as long as you like
320
00:29:53,431 --> 00:29:56,198
don't take any notice of me I've
got a great deal to do in any case
321
00:30:07,788 --> 00:30:09,985
"What I told you earlier was untrue
322
00:30:10,523 --> 00:30:13,659
Because all I wanted to do
was to spare my wife's feelings
323
00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:17,868
But I realize now that she is bound
in any case to learn the truth
324
00:30:18,454 --> 00:30:20,885
And there's nothing I can do
will make it any easier for her
325
00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:23,299
So these are the facts
326
00:30:24,843 --> 00:30:26,112
I did know Rose Mallory
327
00:30:27,324 --> 00:30:30,248
and I've been seeing her from times
to times for several weeks"
328
00:30:44,535 --> 00:30:46,381
-Hello,Arthur
-Hello,dear
329
00:30:58,085 --> 00:31:00,375
I thought you might want to
know about the children
330
00:31:01,648 --> 00:31:03,504
They are down in Kent with Aunt Helen
331
00:31:04,347 --> 00:31:07,205
She'll see that they
know nothing about this
332
00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:10,763
I can't stop thinking about
you all day and night
333
00:31:12,723 --> 00:31:14,653
What about the family?
Have they been difficult?
334
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:16,474
They are coming to see me
335
00:31:17,005 --> 00:31:18,424
They are upset of course
336
00:31:18,694 --> 00:31:20,123
Especially father
337
00:31:20,546 --> 00:31:21,582
I don't blame him
338
00:31:23,187 --> 00:31:25,429
I couldn't blame you if you never
wanted to see me again
339
00:31:26,596 --> 00:31:28,369
-Darling
-I know what I've done
340
00:31:28,901 --> 00:31:30,431
Don't think about that now
341
00:31:31,341 --> 00:31:34,339
I'm here with you,that's all that matters
342
00:31:34,992 --> 00:31:37,869
-I love you,you know that don't you?
-Yes
343
00:31:39,928 --> 00:31:41,670
Tell me what Bedford said this morning
344
00:31:43,113 --> 00:31:44,979
He seems to think we have
a pretty good chance
345
00:31:45,565 --> 00:31:46,634
But I don't know
346
00:31:46,634 --> 00:31:49,064
But Arthur he's the best
defence counsel in England
347
00:31:49,064 --> 00:31:52,683
He may be but what can anybody tell
348
00:31:53,070 --> 00:31:54,770
It just doesn't make sense
349
00:31:55,237 --> 00:31:56,304
Any of it
350
00:31:57,232 --> 00:31:58,652
I didn't kill her
351
00:31:59,146 --> 00:32:01,085
I couldn't have you know that don't you?
352
00:32:01,085 --> 00:32:03,081
Of course I know that
353
00:32:04,097 --> 00:32:07,177
And yet here I am in prison
354
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:10,320
And going on trial for murder
355
00:32:11,287 --> 00:32:13,848
Sometimes I just can't believe it
356
00:32:15,235 --> 00:32:20,224
You got to be a particular kind
of person to be able to,to kill
357
00:32:20,612 --> 00:32:22,644
You've got to have it inside
you in some way that
358
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:25,088
I haven't,I'm not that kind of person
359
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:29,082
I'm not violent I don't even
think of solutions like that
360
00:32:29,082 --> 00:32:32,244
I know,but let's not talk about that now
361
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,147
You're getting upset and you
mustn't be when you go into court
362
00:32:37,481 --> 00:32:39,326
But supposing they don't believe me?
363
00:32:41,364 --> 00:32:45,359
They will when they see
you and hear the truth
364
00:32:45,755 --> 00:32:47,402
But the jury are people just like us
365
00:32:48,772 --> 00:32:50,250
They won't make a mistake
366
00:33:03,782 --> 00:33:04,916
I swear by my Almighty God
367
00:33:05,016 --> 00:33:07,771
that I well and truly try and
to deliverance make
368
00:33:07,771 --> 00:33:09,786
between ourselves and the Lord the King
369
00:33:09,786 --> 00:33:10,966
the prisoner at the bar
370
00:33:10,966 --> 00:33:15,196
whom I shall have in charge and a true
verdict give according to the evidence
371
00:33:21,354 --> 00:33:22,614
Thank you,Sir Charles
372
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,841
Before we proceed with the
testimony of the witnesses
373
00:33:26,841 --> 00:33:29,000
I would like to clear the minds of the jury
374
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,735
on a point about which there is commonly
a great deal of misunderstanding
375
00:33:33,922 --> 00:33:35,201
One hears it argued
376
00:33:35,201 --> 00:33:38,808
that there is some inherent weakness
in circumstantial evidence
377
00:33:39,049 --> 00:33:40,603
Nothing can be further from the truth
378
00:33:41,452 --> 00:33:42,953
Indeed under certain conditions
379
00:33:42,953 --> 00:33:45,806
circumstantial evidence is
the best evidence of all
380
00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:48,899
Few murders are committed in public
381
00:33:49,365 --> 00:33:54,107
As a rule there are only two people
present,the killer and the victim
382
00:33:54,535 --> 00:33:57,287
The killer has his own reasons
for concealing the truth
383
00:33:58,278 --> 00:34:00,208
The victim does not survive to tell it
384
00:34:03,471 --> 00:34:04,671
Circumstantial evidence
385
00:34:04,671 --> 00:34:08,340
was thus often the only means of
bringing such criminals to justice
386
00:34:10,088 --> 00:34:11,950
By law custom and reason
387
00:34:11,950 --> 00:34:16,500
you need no misgivings whatever about
accepting evidence of that nature
388
00:34:22,422 --> 00:34:23,472
Nothing yet
389
00:34:26,605 --> 00:34:27,734
Doctor Conway
390
00:34:34,705 --> 00:34:35,780
Doctor Conway
391
00:34:40,644 --> 00:34:43,017
I'm going to Richmond now I
probably be back this afternoon
392
00:34:44,594 --> 00:34:45,662
Oh,Mrs Groome
393
00:34:46,446 --> 00:34:47,668
Kennedy will take you in
394
00:34:47,668 --> 00:34:48,811
Thank you,Inspector
395
00:34:53,574 --> 00:34:55,584
-We also have a seat for you
-Thank you
396
00:35:00,930 --> 00:35:03,248
-Is that Mrs Groome?
-Yes,why?
397
00:35:03,484 --> 00:35:04,487
Oh,nothing
398
00:35:07,210 --> 00:35:08,231
What did he want?
399
00:35:08,524 --> 00:35:09,717
He asked me about Mrs Groome
400
00:35:11,523 --> 00:35:14,038
"In your opinion what
was the cause of death?"
401
00:35:14,841 --> 00:35:19,938
Death was due in my opinion to stabbing
one blow aimed at the chest
402
00:35:20,352 --> 00:35:21,723
And definitely fatal
403
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:24,066
And Dr Conway would you tell the court
404
00:35:24,066 --> 00:35:28,810
how long in your opinion this girl had
been dead when the body was found
405
00:35:29,408 --> 00:35:32,377
I would say not more than
half an hour at most
406
00:35:32,726 --> 00:35:33,944
Quite definitely not more
407
00:35:34,283 --> 00:35:38,004
Would you say then the death
took place at roughly 10 o'clock?
408
00:35:38,810 --> 00:35:39,986
Yes,I would
409
00:35:40,362 --> 00:35:43,435
Dr Conway, I'd like you
take a look at Exhibit 9
410
00:35:43,435 --> 00:35:48,822
and tell me whether in your opinion that
weapon could have caused the wound
411
00:35:53,253 --> 00:35:54,482
Yes
412
00:35:54,929 --> 00:35:56,383
Thank you
413
00:35:57,251 --> 00:35:58,308
No,My Lord
414
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:01,128
No questions
415
00:36:03,741 --> 00:36:05,131
Miss Marjorie Danns
416
00:36:10,536 --> 00:36:12,052
Miss Marjorie Danns
417
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,260
Invite to members(?),snooty,
that there is a day's work to do
418
00:36:22,098 --> 00:36:23,183
Now,what would you say
419
00:36:23,183 --> 00:36:26,128
was the relationship between
the prisoner and Rose Mallory?
420
00:36:26,989 --> 00:36:30,841
Rose? I should say that for the last
few weeks he was her regular boyfriend
421
00:36:31,319 --> 00:36:33,314
Can you be a little more precise
422
00:36:34,433 --> 00:36:36,743
Oh,I think they were in sort
in love with each other,Sir
423
00:36:36,843 --> 00:36:38,832
Did this seem genuine on both sides?
424
00:36:39,517 --> 00:36:40,554
I thought so,Sir
425
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:42,228
He behaved as though he loved her
426
00:36:42,691 --> 00:36:43,818
In what way?
427
00:36:44,215 --> 00:36:45,263
Very nasty to her,Sir
428
00:36:45,945 --> 00:36:47,240
He took it really off his head
429
00:36:47,241 --> 00:36:49,097
if he thought she'd been
out with another man
430
00:36:49,097 --> 00:36:51,253
Did you ever hear him speak
to her on this subject?
431
00:36:52,181 --> 00:36:53,411
Many times,Sir
432
00:36:54,076 --> 00:36:55,667
What did he say?
433
00:36:55,667 --> 00:36:57,580
He used to go a bit to go
out after anyone else
434
00:36:58,366 --> 00:37:00,394
They had terrible quarrels abut that,Sir
435
00:37:00,394 --> 00:37:02,730
Where they sober on these occasions?
436
00:37:03,066 --> 00:37:04,121
Oh,he was,Sir
437
00:37:04,220 --> 00:37:06,786
I never known him to be watched
what one might have called drunk
438
00:37:06,947 --> 00:37:09,454
Though Rose was often quite nicely,
thank you, by closing times
439
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:13,080
What do you mean by"nicely,thank you"?
440
00:37:14,911 --> 00:37:18,456
Well,Sir? Tiddly but not enough
to get running for it
441
00:37:20,044 --> 00:37:23,988
Can you remember such a quarrel about a
week before Rose Mallory was murdered?
442
00:37:24,872 --> 00:37:26,154
Yes,Sir
443
00:37:26,562 --> 00:37:27,599
What happened?
444
00:37:28,058 --> 00:37:29,279
Well,it was at Joe's club,Sir
445
00:37:29,718 --> 00:37:31,766
And he claimed he'd seen
her out with another man
446
00:37:32,592 --> 00:37:34,387
He was quite beside himself ,Sir
447
00:37:34,794 --> 00:37:39,033
Did he express any intentions of doing
anything about this dereliction?
448
00:37:39,033 --> 00:37:40,338
Beg you pardon,Sir?
449
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:43,343
About this going out with another man ?
450
00:37:44,202 --> 00:37:45,640
Yes,Sir
451
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,668
But of course I didn't take him to mean it
452
00:37:48,138 --> 00:37:49,203
but I did hear him say
453
00:37:49,303 --> 00:37:53,815
that if she did it again he'll
punish her quite severely,Sir
454
00:37:54,270 --> 00:37:56,472
Do you recall his exact words?
455
00:37:59,375 --> 00:38:00,442
He said
456
00:38:00,877 --> 00:38:04,764
Either she behave herself
or he'll do her in
457
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:13,463
Just one more point Miss Danns
458
00:38:13,968 --> 00:38:16,728
Do you remember what the prisoner
was wearing the night of the crime?
459
00:38:18,173 --> 00:38:23,453
Yes,Sir,same as usual,a soft hat
he had and a mackintosh over his suit
460
00:38:24,051 --> 00:38:25,666
What colour was this suit?
461
00:38:26,143 --> 00:38:27,819
Grey,dark grey it was
462
00:38:28,289 --> 00:38:29,364
Thank you
463
00:38:32,650 --> 00:38:33,664
Miss Danns
464
00:38:33,874 --> 00:38:36,720
You saw Arthur Groome quite often
during the weeks before the murder?
465
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,579
Yes,Sir
466
00:38:39,086 --> 00:38:41,751
Was it not true that he was
urging her then to give up the stage?
467
00:38:42,514 --> 00:38:43,522
Yes,he was,Sir
468
00:38:44,187 --> 00:38:45,189
Were there any success?
469
00:38:45,536 --> 00:38:46,709
Not that you could notice,Sir
470
00:38:47,582 --> 00:38:53,421
No And when he became enraged with
her behaviour,he used to talk quite wildly?
471
00:38:54,555 --> 00:38:55,654
Yes,Sir
472
00:38:55,654 --> 00:38:57,114
Including threats of violence?
473
00:38:58,201 --> 00:38:59,323
Yes,Sir
474
00:38:59,812 --> 00:39:02,938
Yet did you see or hear of
him doing any violence to her?
475
00:39:05,272 --> 00:39:06,325
No,Sir,I never did
476
00:39:06,325 --> 00:39:09,080
Never on this or any other occasion?
477
00:39:09,139 --> 00:39:10,217
Never,Sir
478
00:39:10,370 --> 00:39:14,503
Time and time again these wild threats
of his proved to be quite empty?
479
00:39:14,865 --> 00:39:16,017
Quite empty,Sir
480
00:39:17,285 --> 00:39:18,501
Thank you
481
00:39:30,163 --> 00:39:31,503
Alfred Tripp
482
00:40:08,441 --> 00:40:10,111
Is that all you have to say,father?
483
00:40:10,295 --> 00:40:12,576
Indeed it's not I can't alter the past
484
00:40:13,323 --> 00:40:15,605
I can at least try you stop
wasting any further money
485
00:40:15,605 --> 00:40:18,708
or sympathy on someone who
proved himself unworthy of either
486
00:40:18,708 --> 00:40:19,789
That is not true
487
00:40:19,789 --> 00:40:22,473
-Why not?
-Because you don't know Arthur
488
00:40:22,556 --> 00:40:25,202
Well I know what you are going to
say that he is your son in law
489
00:40:25,203 --> 00:40:27,700
But how often have you seen
him since we've been married?
490
00:40:28,017 --> 00:40:29,425
Five or six times at most
491
00:40:30,301 --> 00:40:34,174
And I've been living with him every day
and every night for the last 10 years
492
00:40:34,174 --> 00:40:36,722
And in the end he betrayed
you as I always knew that he would
493
00:40:36,991 --> 00:40:38,599
He has not betrayed me
494
00:40:38,827 --> 00:40:41,210
But Mary this woman
495
00:40:42,207 --> 00:40:44,238
Yes? What about her,father?
496
00:40:44,913 --> 00:40:47,523
You mean to tell me you don't mind?
497
00:40:49,526 --> 00:40:50,901
Of course I mind
498
00:40:52,487 --> 00:40:55,463
But I also know that he loves
me more than ever now
499
00:40:56,533 --> 00:40:59,639
And I'm not going to let this
change anything between us
500
00:41:09,749 --> 00:41:10,786
Mrs Rogers
501
00:41:15,682 --> 00:41:17,379
-Mrs Rogers?
-Yes
502
00:41:45,467 --> 00:41:46,760
Now Mrs Rogers
503
00:41:47,372 --> 00:41:48,956
To be where we left off
504
00:41:49,495 --> 00:41:51,401
You remember you said
that you were in your room
505
00:41:51,501 --> 00:41:53,869
and then you heard someone
knocked at the front door?
506
00:41:54,475 --> 00:41:56,584
Yes,that's right
507
00:41:56,857 --> 00:41:57,937
What did you do?
508
00:41:58,346 --> 00:41:59,607
I went to answer it
509
00:42:00,016 --> 00:42:01,052
The door was locked
510
00:42:01,597 --> 00:42:04,162
-Oh yes indeed
-I see
511
00:42:04,586 --> 00:42:05,701
And then?
512
00:42:05,701 --> 00:42:08,623
I found him standing in
the hall in the dark
513
00:42:08,844 --> 00:42:10,547
Who Mrs Rogers?
514
00:42:13,124 --> 00:42:14,424
Groome
515
00:42:15,359 --> 00:42:17,876
But you just told us that
the door was locked
516
00:42:17,876 --> 00:42:20,214
how did the prisoner manage to open it?
517
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:21,982
He had a key
518
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:28,040
He had a key,do you know how he came
to be in possession of that key,Mrs Rogers?
519
00:42:28,513 --> 00:42:30,128
She gave it to him
520
00:42:30,567 --> 00:42:32,222
Rose Mallory
521
00:42:32,644 --> 00:42:35,055
Forgive my asking you
this question,Mrs Rogers
522
00:42:35,055 --> 00:42:38,322
but how would you describe
your boarding house
523
00:42:38,375 --> 00:42:40,975
I mean would you say it was of the
most respectable kind or not?
524
00:42:41,513 --> 00:42:43,142
I certainly would
525
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:44,974
You can ask anyone
526
00:42:45,319 --> 00:42:47,629
I'm meticulous for good
behaviour that's why
527
00:42:47,629 --> 00:42:49,451
Quite,quite,thank you
528
00:42:50,127 --> 00:42:52,602
Mrs Rogers in this
respectable house of yours
529
00:42:52,602 --> 00:42:55,734
do you keep the front door
locked all the time?
530
00:42:56,301 --> 00:42:58,329
Locked during the daytime?
531
00:42:58,329 --> 00:43:01,862
No one did in Barnden street,
we are all respectable
532
00:43:03,432 --> 00:43:05,091
But after dark?
533
00:43:05,595 --> 00:43:08,845
The door was always locked,
every night after dark
534
00:43:09,468 --> 00:43:12,444
Thank you,in other words it would
have been impossible for anyone
535
00:43:12,444 --> 00:43:14,122
to gain access to your house after dark
536
00:43:14,122 --> 00:43:16,449
unless they either were
admitted by someone else
537
00:43:16,449 --> 00:43:19,189
or in possession of the key
himself,is that correct?
538
00:43:19,666 --> 00:43:21,094
Quite correct
539
00:43:21,466 --> 00:43:22,817
Thank you
540
00:43:27,341 --> 00:43:29,364
Do you like Mr Groome,Mrs Rogers?
541
00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:33,535
Not particularly
542
00:43:34,059 --> 00:43:38,523
Why? Because he regarded you as a bad
influence in the life of Rose Mallory?
543
00:43:39,301 --> 00:43:40,976
He didn't do it,any of the kind
544
00:43:41,058 --> 00:43:42,608
Is it because he tried again and again
545
00:43:42,608 --> 00:43:45,166
to get her to move out of your
house into a flat of her own?
546
00:43:46,286 --> 00:43:47,772
That didn't bother me
547
00:43:48,137 --> 00:43:49,366
Rose never listened to him
548
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,247
Then why do you hate him?
549
00:43:52,071 --> 00:43:53,474
I didn't hate him
550
00:43:54,621 --> 00:43:56,378
I don't like him very much
551
00:43:56,733 --> 00:43:57,957
But I don't hate him
552
00:43:59,987 --> 00:44:01,009
What do you think?
553
00:44:01,481 --> 00:44:03,033
-Six to four and aquittal
-Why?
554
00:44:03,033 --> 00:44:04,828
Circumstantial evidence old boy
555
00:44:04,828 --> 00:44:08,733
juries won't have it,they don't
like it they don't trust it
556
00:44:11,523 --> 00:44:12,625
And you know why?
557
00:44:14,651 --> 00:44:16,918
You know why juries don't
like circumstantial evidence?
558
00:44:17,424 --> 00:44:18,503
Yes
559
00:44:23,252 --> 00:44:25,442
You want to see justice done
in this case,Mrs Rogers?
560
00:44:26,358 --> 00:44:27,658
Yes of course
561
00:44:28,315 --> 00:44:30,753
Have to give the accused a
fair chance in this court?
562
00:44:30,753 --> 00:44:32,001
Yes
563
00:44:32,708 --> 00:44:37,177
Mrs Rogers,at what time did you come
home on the night of Rose Mallory's death?
564
00:44:37,513 --> 00:44:38,927
Just about 10 o'clock
565
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:40,286
You're sure of that?
566
00:44:40,286 --> 00:44:44,324
Yes because I've just having a
bite,I'd been having supper
567
00:44:44,718 --> 00:44:46,684
With my friends Miss Garmer
just down the road
568
00:44:47,435 --> 00:44:51,069
Mrs Garner,oh yes,yes she does all
the laundry for your house I believe
569
00:44:51,422 --> 00:44:54,749
Yes,that's right and I fetched
a bag myself that night
570
00:44:55,401 --> 00:44:56,908
Fair loaded up I was
571
00:44:56,908 --> 00:44:59,961
Indeed,seems a lot for one
woman to have to carry
572
00:44:59,961 --> 00:45:02,856
you must have certain amount of
difficulties in getting into the house
573
00:45:02,956 --> 00:45:05,260
I managed to get one
hand on the door knob
574
00:45:05,441 --> 00:45:06,541
To your door knob?
575
00:45:07,399 --> 00:45:10,638
Yes,how else do you supposed I
manage to lock me the front door
576
00:45:10,638 --> 00:45:13,204
Possibly with a key,Mrs Rogers
577
00:45:13,359 --> 00:45:16,331
And that's because the door was
not locked at 10 o'clock on that night?
578
00:45:17,854 --> 00:45:19,425
I had my key as well
579
00:45:19,681 --> 00:45:20,682
But did you use it?
580
00:45:20,990 --> 00:45:23,030
Was it in fact necessary for you to use it?
581
00:45:24,445 --> 00:45:26,079
I don't remember
582
00:45:26,476 --> 00:45:29,633
I suggest you did not use it
because the door was not locked
583
00:45:29,633 --> 00:45:30,686
No
584
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:33,333
I believe during the past two years
585
00:45:33,333 --> 00:45:36,589
fourteen different people have lodged
in your house,is that correct?
586
00:45:37,688 --> 00:45:39,446
I can't tell without my books
587
00:45:39,954 --> 00:45:43,987
Mrs Rogers eight of those people
have signed statements to the effect
588
00:45:43,987 --> 00:45:46,904
that only on very rare occasions was
your door locked before midnight
589
00:45:46,904 --> 00:45:48,847
Three of them are prepared to testify
590
00:45:48,847 --> 00:45:51,879
that more than once they found it
open between two and three in the morning
591
00:45:51,879 --> 00:45:54,322
Do you still maintain that it
was always locked after dark?
592
00:45:57,455 --> 00:45:58,455
I see
593
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:01,968
You made a statement to the police
shortly after the arrest of the accused?
594
00:46:03,134 --> 00:46:04,143
Yes
595
00:46:04,143 --> 00:46:05,516
You gave evidence at the inquest?
596
00:46:06,577 --> 00:46:07,605
Yes
597
00:46:07,743 --> 00:46:10,073
And you repeated that
evidence here on oath today
598
00:46:11,362 --> 00:46:13,178
And on each occasion
you told the same story
599
00:46:13,277 --> 00:46:15,708
that the front door of your house
was always locked at dark
600
00:46:15,709 --> 00:46:17,040
is that correct Mrs Rogers?
601
00:46:19,556 --> 00:46:20,866
Yes
602
00:46:23,304 --> 00:46:25,416
You realize of course the
implication of your story
603
00:46:26,163 --> 00:46:28,102
There is only a person in
possession of the key
604
00:46:28,157 --> 00:46:30,597
who had entered the house the
approximate time of the murder
605
00:46:30,697 --> 00:46:32,204
Only a person in possession of a key
606
00:46:32,204 --> 00:46:34,949
such for instance the accused could
have been guilty of the murder
607
00:46:36,820 --> 00:46:38,122
I suppose so
608
00:46:40,859 --> 00:46:41,933
Mrs Rogers
609
00:46:42,618 --> 00:46:45,354
You do know,don't you, that
the penalty for murder is death?
610
00:46:46,458 --> 00:46:50,858
Would you prefer to withdraw your
evidence about the front door?
611
00:46:51,559 --> 00:46:53,020
Yes
612
00:47:01,489 --> 00:47:02,905
You'll be here tomorrow,Mrs Groome
613
00:47:02,905 --> 00:47:04,161
Yes of course Inspector
614
00:47:04,161 --> 00:47:05,785
Very well just a moment,please
615
00:47:09,781 --> 00:47:11,219
You're Mrs Groome aren't you?
616
00:47:11,319 --> 00:47:12,339
Yes
617
00:47:12,421 --> 00:47:14,504
You should be very pleased
with the way it's going
618
00:47:15,194 --> 00:47:16,449
Do you really think so?
619
00:47:16,449 --> 00:47:19,230
Yes I think Mr Bedford is
handling the situation very cleverly
620
00:47:19,288 --> 00:47:21,515
He was particularly effective
with that woman I thought
621
00:47:22,202 --> 00:47:23,655
I do hope you are right
622
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,953
Will Mr Groome go in
the witness box himself?
623
00:47:26,868 --> 00:47:27,874
I don't know
624
00:47:28,687 --> 00:47:29,941
It will depend on that I expect
625
00:47:30,362 --> 00:47:32,123
How he impresses the
jury in the witness box
626
00:47:33,414 --> 00:47:35,001
I have great faith in the jury
627
00:47:35,714 --> 00:47:36,772
Good you're smiling
628
00:47:37,496 --> 00:47:39,723
This gentleman thinks it's going very well
629
00:47:39,723 --> 00:47:41,604
What do you think,Inspector?
630
00:47:42,127 --> 00:47:43,642
Oh,aren't you allowed to say?
631
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,088
I'm afraid not
632
00:47:45,088 --> 00:47:46,776
But it's also absurd really
633
00:47:46,776 --> 00:47:48,317
This young man couldn't have done it
634
00:47:48,638 --> 00:47:50,132
It's quite out of the question
635
00:47:50,132 --> 00:47:53,896
Every week thousands of people see girls
like Rose Mallory dancing on the stage
636
00:47:54,715 --> 00:47:59,516
And amongst those thousands there's
perhaps one who few hours later will strike
637
00:48:01,477 --> 00:48:04,251
I suppose they regard themselves
some kind of instrument of justice
638
00:48:06,767 --> 00:48:08,596
But not this young man he's not the one
639
00:48:08,596 --> 00:48:11,186
you only have to look at him
to be quite sure of that
640
00:48:17,792 --> 00:48:19,449
May I give you a lift Mrs Groome?
641
00:48:19,837 --> 00:48:20,845
A lift?
642
00:48:21,472 --> 00:48:23,923
-I..
-I live in Richmond too
643
00:48:26,588 --> 00:48:29,278
I'm so sorry but by your address has
been in the newspapers you know
644
00:48:31,297 --> 00:48:33,017
Well thank you that's very kind of you
645
00:48:33,839 --> 00:48:37,233
-I'll see you tomorrow then Inspector
-Yes,Good Bye Mrs Groome
646
00:48:56,537 --> 00:48:58,743
Here we are Mrs Groome whole safe and sound
647
00:48:59,829 --> 00:49:01,524
It's much more comfortable than the bus
648
00:49:01,538 --> 00:49:02,762
But not much faster I'm afraid
649
00:49:02,859 --> 00:49:05,500
Still I warn you as a careful sort
of chap I don't take many risks
650
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,609
Yes
651
00:49:06,770 --> 00:49:07,778
Thank you
652
00:49:11,348 --> 00:49:12,430
Thank you again
653
00:49:12,487 --> 00:49:13,517
I'd
654
00:49:13,526 --> 00:49:15,008
You're a brave woman,Mrs Groome
655
00:49:15,853 --> 00:49:17,095
Why do you say that?
656
00:49:17,738 --> 00:49:19,322
I know what it is to be alone
657
00:49:19,388 --> 00:49:20,444
Oh
658
00:49:20,444 --> 00:49:23,299
If you could only consider me
someone who is anxious to help you
659
00:49:23,945 --> 00:49:25,031
Of course
660
00:49:25,050 --> 00:49:26,891
Could you then perhaps
spare me a few moments?
661
00:49:29,162 --> 00:49:31,363
Certainly please come in
662
00:49:31,675 --> 00:49:32,786
Thank you
663
00:49:48,029 --> 00:49:51,333
If you wouldn't mind waiting in here for
a moment I'll go and make some tea
664
00:49:51,433 --> 00:49:52,507
Thank you
665
00:50:44,579 --> 00:50:45,703
Is there anything I can do?
666
00:50:46,906 --> 00:50:49,484
No thank you,I'm just
waiting for the kettle to boil
667
00:50:49,550 --> 00:50:52,508
Perhaps if two people are
watching it,it'll not take so long
668
00:50:54,884 --> 00:50:56,671
You have a very pleasant home,Mrs Groome
669
00:50:57,779 --> 00:50:59,129
It has a lived in atmosphere
670
00:51:01,601 --> 00:51:03,497
Hello,it's not ready yet
671
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,488
I only wanted to warm the pot
672
00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:08,827
I've always dreamed of a home like this
673
00:51:09,914 --> 00:51:11,651
Your husband is a very lucky man
674
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,194
How can you say a thing like that?
675
00:51:15,194 --> 00:51:17,610
I'm so sorry for a moment I forgot
676
00:51:18,959 --> 00:51:20,049
Excuse me
677
00:51:28,606 --> 00:51:30,568
-Good Evening
-Good Evening Mrs Groome
678
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,926
Mr Sims and Mrs Sims,
how nice to see you,come in
679
00:51:35,347 --> 00:51:36,791
Just for a moment if we may
680
00:51:36,791 --> 00:51:37,890
Of course
681
00:51:42,082 --> 00:51:43,150
I'm just making some tea
682
00:51:44,082 --> 00:51:45,141
Do come in
683
00:51:49,787 --> 00:51:51,197
Do sit down
684
00:51:52,087 --> 00:51:53,159
Thank you
685
00:52:00,116 --> 00:52:01,637
We just came to tell you
686
00:52:02,112 --> 00:52:04,101
That we are on your side
687
00:52:04,734 --> 00:52:06,616
That we are thinking of you all the time
688
00:52:06,954 --> 00:52:08,206
Both of you
689
00:52:09,385 --> 00:52:10,537
Thank you very much
690
00:52:11,506 --> 00:52:13,318
You are both very kind
691
00:52:14,675 --> 00:52:15,878
Cigarettes?
692
00:52:17,889 --> 00:52:22,833
Oh I'm so sorry Arthur always
693
00:52:25,287 --> 00:52:27,167
As a matter of fact I don't smoke
694
00:52:28,424 --> 00:52:29,984
If there's anything we can do to help
695
00:52:30,671 --> 00:52:33,422
Any shopping or anything
at all,please let us know
696
00:52:33,422 --> 00:52:35,580
We'd really be too glad
697
00:52:35,580 --> 00:52:36,663
Thank you
698
00:52:37,122 --> 00:52:40,596
We didn't come before because
we didn't want to,to seem to intrude
699
00:52:41,601 --> 00:52:44,470
I expect a lot of other people round
here have offered to help already
700
00:52:45,887 --> 00:52:46,902
Well,no
701
00:52:47,348 --> 00:52:49,440
No as a matter of fact you're the first
702
00:52:50,778 --> 00:52:53,486
-That's because they felt the same as
-They didn't want to worry you
703
00:52:53,796 --> 00:52:55,136
They'll come soon you'll see
704
00:52:55,416 --> 00:52:56,441
Yes
705
00:52:57,204 --> 00:52:58,855
It's all some terrible mistake
706
00:53:00,299 --> 00:53:01,822
Oh,I've quite forgotten
707
00:53:02,725 --> 00:53:06,066
Someone has come to see me,
he drove me back from the court
708
00:53:06,521 --> 00:53:09,649
He's in the kitchen now,
making tea,I'll fetch him
709
00:53:31,152 --> 00:53:34,670
Look Mr Groome we've only a moment
and it's maybe the last chance we'll get
710
00:53:34,853 --> 00:53:37,286
You've got to remember the name
of that man in the restaurant
711
00:53:37,386 --> 00:53:39,072
you spoke to that night at 10 o'clock
712
00:53:39,072 --> 00:53:42,405
I told you I can't do you
think I haven't tried?
713
00:53:42,417 --> 00:53:44,741
I think like it(?)lad(?), I wish we
never raised the point
714
00:53:44,741 --> 00:53:46,778
I can feel Morton chucked (?)
photograph at it now
715
00:53:46,832 --> 00:53:47,892
I know you needn't tell me
716
00:53:48,156 --> 00:53:51,013
You can't even give me a lead,
anything it'll give me a man to look for
717
00:53:51,249 --> 00:53:53,932
I've spoken to Sullivan about it
he'll give us all the help we want
718
00:53:53,932 --> 00:53:57,084
He was a big dark man,
he could have been an Italian
719
00:53:57,084 --> 00:53:59,479
I don't remember having seen him before
720
00:54:01,114 --> 00:54:03,093
All there it is we must do the best we can
721
00:54:03,872 --> 00:54:04,946
Try not to worry too much
722
00:54:05,046 --> 00:54:09,290
you'll be up there in a minute now,he'll
be after you today,don't let him rattle you
723
00:54:39,518 --> 00:54:41,302
All persons who have
anything forever to do
724
00:54:41,302 --> 00:54:43,573
for my Lord,King and Justice
is a lawyer and terminal(?)
725
00:54:44,172 --> 00:54:47,230
And general jail delivery for the
jurisdiction of the central criminal court
726
00:54:47,230 --> 00:54:50,412
drawn,you have given attendance,
God Save the King
727
00:54:57,841 --> 00:54:59,465
Mrs Rogers
728
00:55:11,911 --> 00:55:13,697
One further point Mrs Rogers
729
00:55:13,697 --> 00:55:17,208
Did you happen to notice what Groome
was wearing on this particular night?
730
00:55:17,669 --> 00:55:21,158
Yes he had a soft hat on and a mackintosh
731
00:55:21,158 --> 00:55:22,758
Did you notice his suit?
732
00:55:23,436 --> 00:55:27,366
Yes,it was an ordinary
tweed suit a grey one
733
00:55:27,366 --> 00:55:28,719
Thank you
734
00:55:37,846 --> 00:55:39,320
I call the accused
735
00:56:03,776 --> 00:56:05,109
Take the book in the right hand
736
00:56:07,270 --> 00:56:09,692
In swear by All Mighty God
that the evidence I shall give
737
00:56:09,692 --> 00:56:12,097
shall be the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
738
00:56:17,603 --> 00:56:18,868
You are married Mr Groome
739
00:56:19,042 --> 00:56:20,083
Yes
740
00:56:20,222 --> 00:56:21,718
And you have two children I believe
741
00:56:22,018 --> 00:56:23,098
Both girls
742
00:56:23,109 --> 00:56:24,178
Yes
743
00:56:25,161 --> 00:56:26,861
Has your home life always been happy?
744
00:56:27,753 --> 00:56:28,785
Very happy
745
00:56:29,151 --> 00:56:30,819
And you are fond of your wife?
746
00:56:33,340 --> 00:56:36,403
I love her more than anything in the world
747
00:56:36,403 --> 00:56:38,457
When did you first meet Rose Mallory?
748
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:42,897
I can't remember the exact date
sometime in the early summer
749
00:56:43,327 --> 00:56:44,451
How did you meet her?
750
00:56:45,015 --> 00:56:48,023
We got into conversation one night
in a crowd in Shaftesbury Avenue
751
00:56:48,023 --> 00:56:49,751
Was it taken use of this club
752
00:56:50,476 --> 00:56:54,752
I often went there I've
been going there for years
753
00:56:54,852 --> 00:56:55,895
What for?
754
00:56:56,582 --> 00:57:00,725
It was out of the ordinary,romantic
in a way,full of straight people
755
00:57:02,323 --> 00:57:04,514
What took place the first
night you met Rose Mallory?
756
00:57:06,145 --> 00:57:07,994
Nothing except we talked a lot
757
00:57:07,994 --> 00:57:11,925
At that time you were regarding her
just as another casual acquaintance?
758
00:57:12,966 --> 00:57:14,048
Yes
759
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,680
I liked her very much at sight,
there was something good about her
760
00:57:19,368 --> 00:57:21,254
Something very nice and genuine I thought
761
00:57:21,254 --> 00:57:23,798
she was quite different from
the ordinary run of showgirls
762
00:57:25,086 --> 00:57:27,193
How long was it before you saw her again?
763
00:57:28,006 --> 00:57:29,204
I should think about a week
764
00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:31,815
Had you thought about her
at all in the mean time?
765
00:57:32,604 --> 00:57:33,680
Yes I had
766
00:57:34,017 --> 00:57:35,704
She told me her struggle to keep in work
767
00:57:37,076 --> 00:57:38,315
She wasn't all that good
768
00:57:39,327 --> 00:57:42,724
Sometimes she'd be out of work for
weeks on end and I felt sorry for her
769
00:57:42,724 --> 00:57:45,619
I thought I liked to do something for
her so I mean to give her a break
770
00:57:46,274 --> 00:57:48,374
She always dreaded the show closing
771
00:57:48,374 --> 00:57:49,374
Quite
772
00:57:49,687 --> 00:57:52,373
What sort of a break did you
think you could've given her?
773
00:57:53,102 --> 00:57:55,029
There wasn't much I could have done really
774
00:57:55,408 --> 00:57:56,451
But I wanted to
775
00:57:57,247 --> 00:57:58,667
So what did you do?
776
00:57:59,122 --> 00:58:00,400
I tried to stop her drinking
777
00:58:00,717 --> 00:58:02,547
I thought if she stopped drinking she might
778
00:58:02,547 --> 00:58:04,886
Get hold of herself and straighten up
779
00:58:06,343 --> 00:58:08,192
Mr Groome I know it is very painful for you
780
00:58:08,192 --> 00:58:11,047
but I know too that you ought to be
absolutely frank with My Lord
781
00:58:11,047 --> 00:58:12,489
and the members of the jury
782
00:58:13,393 --> 00:58:16,044
Apart from simply liking this
girl or feeling sorry for her
783
00:58:16,886 --> 00:58:19,260
did you feel attractive towards her?
784
00:58:20,467 --> 00:58:21,786
Yes
785
00:58:22,465 --> 00:58:27,312
I didn't realized at first but
afterwards I did find her attractive
786
00:58:28,448 --> 00:58:29,794
Were you in love with her?
787
00:58:30,122 --> 00:58:31,163
No
788
00:58:32,181 --> 00:58:34,233
I've never loved anyone except my wife
789
00:58:35,304 --> 00:58:36,497
I see
790
00:58:38,595 --> 00:58:41,924
You say you had a meal in Shramm's
restaurant before going on to Joe's club
791
00:58:42,794 --> 00:58:44,393
about what time was that?
792
00:58:44,393 --> 00:58:47,119
10 o'clock I herd the ten o'clock
news on the radio there
793
00:58:47,933 --> 00:58:50,106
Did you see anyone you
knew in that restaurant?
794
00:58:50,909 --> 00:58:53,511
Yes,at least I saw someone who knew me
795
00:58:54,532 --> 00:58:56,199
What do you mean by that?
796
00:58:57,675 --> 00:58:59,486
A man spoke to me calling me by name
797
00:58:59,486 --> 00:59:03,296
I can't place him I tried
to over and over again
798
00:59:04,441 --> 00:59:07,565
I do not know who he was but he knew me
799
00:59:11,597 --> 00:59:13,082
Well as to another matter of time
800
00:59:13,662 --> 00:59:16,177
The Prosecution is suggesting
that when you were in Joe's club
801
00:59:16,177 --> 00:59:19,377
and argued about the clock you were
attempting to establish a false alibi
802
00:59:19,377 --> 00:59:20,839
It had nothing to do with an alibi
803
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,947
how could I know I was going to need an
alibi,I simply thought the clock was wrong
804
00:59:25,746 --> 00:59:27,345
And why did that disturb you so much?
805
00:59:28,761 --> 00:59:31,150
I thought it meant she was
out with another man
806
00:59:41,275 --> 00:59:43,333
Have you ever seen that
knife before,Mr Groome?
807
00:59:47,233 --> 00:59:49,009
Yes I think so
808
00:59:49,027 --> 00:59:50,060
When?
809
00:59:50,060 --> 00:59:52,243
It looks like a knife I had once
810
00:59:52,243 --> 00:59:56,171
What happened to this knife
you had that looks like this one?
811
00:59:56,940 --> 00:59:58,737
I lent it to Rose Mallory
812
00:59:59,545 --> 01:00:00,572
Why?
813
01:00:00,780 --> 01:00:03,005
She borrowed it one night
to cut a string in a parcel
814
01:00:03,827 --> 01:00:05,538
I gave it to her as a souvenir
815
01:00:05,584 --> 01:00:06,647
When was that?
816
01:00:07,348 --> 01:00:08,443
About a month
817
01:00:09,978 --> 01:00:11,195
Before
818
01:00:12,113 --> 01:00:13,231
Mr Groome
819
01:00:14,483 --> 01:00:16,399
Did you on the 27th July
820
01:00:16,399 --> 01:00:20,113
or at any other time ever do Rose
Mallory any physical hurt?
821
01:00:20,210 --> 01:00:21,725
Never
822
01:00:23,072 --> 01:00:24,689
As God is my witness
823
01:00:24,933 --> 01:00:26,196
Thank you
824
01:00:32,493 --> 01:00:36,336
Mr Groome I would like to
you sentence by sentence
825
01:00:36,336 --> 01:00:40,076
through a statement you insisted on
making at Richmond police station
826
01:00:40,738 --> 01:00:41,936
After I read each sentence
827
01:00:41,936 --> 01:00:46,344
I shall invite you to tell us whether
it is true or untrue,is that clear?
828
01:00:47,013 --> 01:00:48,052
Yes
829
01:00:48,804 --> 01:00:49,859
Very well
830
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,372
"Before you begin your enquiries
831
01:00:52,372 --> 01:00:55,740
I should like to say that I do not
know anyone called Rose Mallory"
832
01:00:56,394 --> 01:00:57,702
True or untrue?
833
01:00:58,677 --> 01:00:59,682
It was untrue
834
01:01:01,214 --> 01:01:04,669
"I've sometimes been in the Earl Court
District but not for the last year"
835
01:01:05,324 --> 01:01:06,827
True or untrue?
836
01:01:07,271 --> 01:01:09,430
It was untrue but I
admitted all this before
837
01:01:10,023 --> 01:01:11,423
Bare with me a moment
838
01:01:11,607 --> 01:01:14,283
"I've never been to Barnden Street
and I do not know where it is"
839
01:01:15,202 --> 01:01:16,848
True or untrue?
840
01:01:17,625 --> 01:01:18,849
Untrue
841
01:01:19,290 --> 01:01:23,504
That is the whole of the statement,
three assertions and all of them untrue?
842
01:01:24,118 --> 01:01:25,150
Yes
843
01:01:25,211 --> 01:01:27,857
And your explanation for
this complete falsification
844
01:01:27,857 --> 01:01:30,417
if I remember correctly,is that you
wanted to spare your wife
845
01:01:30,417 --> 01:01:31,518
Yes
846
01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:34,669
You are now on trial for
your life are you not?
847
01:01:35,552 --> 01:01:36,621
I know that
848
01:01:36,633 --> 01:01:38,280
Then you are asking this court to believe
849
01:01:38,380 --> 01:01:41,692
that you lie solidly to avoid
hurting your wife's feelings
850
01:01:41,692 --> 01:01:45,220
but would not dream of departing
from the strictest truth
851
01:01:45,220 --> 01:01:48,041
in a matter involving your
own life or death
852
01:02:36,612 --> 01:02:37,689
-Yes?
-Good Evening
853
01:02:37,737 --> 01:02:38,746
Good Evening
854
01:02:38,747 --> 01:02:39,781
Am I too late?
855
01:02:40,231 --> 01:02:41,301
You are late,yes
856
01:02:42,099 --> 01:02:44,335
Although I waited after the
court closed this afternoon
857
01:02:44,335 --> 01:02:45,974
I thought you might be interested
858
01:02:46,074 --> 01:02:47,969
in knowing what they are
saying about the case
859
01:02:48,477 --> 01:02:50,151
Oh yes,come in
860
01:02:50,683 --> 01:02:53,364
And I wanted to apologize for
disappearing so suddenly last night
861
01:02:53,940 --> 01:02:55,881
I didn't want to intrude
on you and your friends
862
01:02:55,980 --> 01:02:59,008
Oh they only dropped in for a moment
but it would have been quite all right
863
01:02:59,008 --> 01:03:00,113
Are you alone now?
864
01:03:00,113 --> 01:03:03,293
Yes but tell me what you heard in the court
865
01:03:05,627 --> 01:03:06,703
You are afraid of thunder?
866
01:03:08,254 --> 01:03:09,635
I don't like it
867
01:03:10,033 --> 01:03:11,122
I do
868
01:03:11,562 --> 01:03:13,103
It helps me to see things more clearly
869
01:03:14,163 --> 01:03:15,331
You know what to do
870
01:03:21,801 --> 01:03:23,475
Please tell me what you heard
871
01:03:24,499 --> 01:03:26,351
I think you'd better be
prepared for the worst
872
01:03:27,723 --> 01:03:29,973
-The worst?
-They think he will be convicted
873
01:03:31,143 --> 01:03:32,364
Who thinks that?
874
01:03:32,886 --> 01:03:35,804
Lawyers and others who
follow these cases before
875
01:03:37,174 --> 01:03:38,423
But that's not fair
876
01:03:39,051 --> 01:03:41,034
They haven't even heard his side of it yet
877
01:03:41,034 --> 01:03:44,098
Oh,that won't matter,he's covered
himself with guilt anyway
878
01:03:44,902 --> 01:03:48,214
whether he killed her or not,
he'll have to pay just as she did
879
01:03:48,553 --> 01:03:49,647
But not for murder
880
01:03:50,826 --> 01:03:53,600
And that what he is charged
with not with anything else
881
01:03:54,928 --> 01:04:00,320
But this is not a matter of technicalities,
Mrs Groome,killing isn't the only crime
882
01:04:00,926 --> 01:04:03,270
But the violation of our social order
883
01:04:03,849 --> 01:04:06,160
The betrayal of home
and family for instance
884
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,607
shakes the whole foundation
of our civilisation
885
01:04:09,510 --> 01:04:11,695
I don't know what on earth
you are talking about
886
01:04:12,673 --> 01:04:15,601
All I know that Arthur
is not guilty of murder
887
01:04:16,683 --> 01:04:19,662
And I can't believe the courts
will convict an innocent man
888
01:04:20,563 --> 01:04:22,433
I wish you wouldn't allude
yourself,Mrs Groome
889
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:25,696
Shock would only be greater
890
01:04:27,083 --> 01:04:29,101
Why they may even find
the man who really did it
891
01:04:31,103 --> 01:04:32,168
They won't
892
01:04:41,441 --> 01:04:44,469
That was Inspector Sullivan who
spoke to you yesterday wasn't it?
893
01:04:44,706 --> 01:04:45,859
Yes
894
01:04:46,455 --> 01:04:47,498
Is he very clever?
895
01:04:49,250 --> 01:04:50,895
I don't know I expect so
896
01:04:51,981 --> 01:04:53,057
Probably
897
01:04:53,847 --> 01:04:56,089
But not nearly clever enough
898
01:04:57,319 --> 01:05:00,518
No one will ever discover who
actually killed Rose Mallory
899
01:05:02,081 --> 01:05:03,947
But how can you be so sure
900
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:06,637
Consider it for yourself
901
01:05:07,439 --> 01:05:10,113
Anyone of the thousands men who
saw her on the stage that night
902
01:05:10,113 --> 01:05:13,071
could have waited for her after
the show and followed her home
903
01:05:14,304 --> 01:05:16,045
Yes I expect you're right
904
01:05:20,014 --> 01:05:21,501
Mrs Groome
905
01:05:22,123 --> 01:05:23,516
May I ask you a question?
906
01:05:23,639 --> 01:05:24,694
What is it?
907
01:05:25,242 --> 01:05:27,020
May I be your friend?
908
01:05:29,423 --> 01:05:32,324
That's very kind of you I'm
sure and I do appreciate it
909
01:05:33,212 --> 01:05:35,891
but it's quite late and I'm rather tired
910
01:05:36,122 --> 01:05:37,820
You'll never have Groome again you know
911
01:05:37,820 --> 01:05:40,011
And if you are wise you forget him
912
01:05:40,437 --> 01:05:42,704
Cast him out of life completely
913
01:05:43,353 --> 01:05:45,591
He deserves nothing more
of you,nothing at all
914
01:05:46,579 --> 01:05:49,042
His fault of it all claim to
your love and even consideration
915
01:05:50,054 --> 01:05:53,858
Please you have no right to talk to me
like this I think you'd better go now
916
01:05:53,858 --> 01:05:55,306
But you must believe me
917
01:05:55,690 --> 01:05:58,665
I tell you he has been deceiving you,
you must not even think of him again
918
01:05:58,751 --> 01:05:59,839
I've asked you to leave
919
01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:03,845
No,no not until I make you understand,
this is very important and you must listen
920
01:06:03,845 --> 01:06:08,071
I don't want to hear any more,I want
you to go or I should call the police
921
01:06:08,284 --> 01:06:09,384
The police?
922
01:06:09,975 --> 01:06:10,996
You won't dare
923
01:06:16,466 --> 01:06:17,993
Please I'm so sorry
924
01:06:32,430 --> 01:06:33,717
I didn't mean to alarm you
925
01:06:35,048 --> 01:06:36,809
I saw you in court and I felt sorry for you
926
01:06:36,809 --> 01:06:40,781
I only wanted to offer you my friendship
and now I'd frightened you
927
01:06:41,287 --> 01:06:42,687
Will you forgive me?
928
01:06:45,810 --> 01:06:48,177
Just go that's all
929
01:06:48,542 --> 01:06:49,896
Yes,but will you forgive me?
930
01:06:50,128 --> 01:06:53,546
Yes I forgive you but go please
931
01:06:54,062 --> 01:06:55,118
Thank you
932
01:06:55,542 --> 01:06:57,374
And I won't bother you again I promise you
933
01:06:58,785 --> 01:07:00,134
Good Night
934
01:07:18,682 --> 01:07:24,197
That night as the subsequent investigation
has revealed a man named Polaris
935
01:07:24,986 --> 01:07:26,586
Debated a point of conduct with his wife
936
01:07:44,070 --> 01:07:45,641
Never slept last night
937
01:07:48,186 --> 01:07:49,744
And I won't sleep tonight
938
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:52,500
Not a wink
939
01:07:52,934 --> 01:07:54,432
Are you going to start on that again
940
01:07:54,999 --> 01:07:56,531
How can I stop it
941
01:07:57,386 --> 01:07:58,440
It's a man's life
942
01:08:00,107 --> 01:08:02,189
Must depend on me whether he lives or dies
943
01:08:02,590 --> 01:08:06,216
It's not going to depend on you and it's
not going to depend on anyone person
944
01:08:06,410 --> 01:08:08,240
They don't depend on
one person at the trial
945
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:12,274
they use a big system lots of people you
wouldn't be important one way or the other
946
01:08:12,274 --> 01:08:13,432
I wish I could believe that
947
01:08:13,532 --> 01:08:15,591
Look,when those lawyers
get through with you
948
01:08:15,591 --> 01:08:19,038
you remember this,you remember
that,what makes you so positive
949
01:08:19,038 --> 01:08:22,928
how do you know it wasn't the week
before,where was you that night in 1902
950
01:08:22,928 --> 01:08:26,065
you'd be so dizzy you wouldn't
remember your own name
951
01:08:26,065 --> 01:08:29,260
you wouldn't know yourself if it
was Groome you saw or Charlie Marx
952
01:08:29,260 --> 01:08:31,808
It was Groome all right,there's
no question about that
953
01:08:32,871 --> 01:08:35,936
I remember him he was brought
to the club twice by Mr Thornton
954
01:08:36,834 --> 01:08:38,836
It's my business to remember
who comes to the club
955
01:08:39,522 --> 01:08:40,614
That was true
956
01:08:40,615 --> 01:08:43,429
because it was the only time in my
I ever was in Shramm's restaurant
957
01:08:44,033 --> 01:08:46,068
I met Herbert that night about dogs
958
01:08:47,924 --> 01:08:49,576
It was 10 o'clock
959
01:08:50,430 --> 01:08:51,599
He was just sitting there
960
01:08:52,607 --> 01:08:54,429
Nowhere near where that girl was killed
961
01:08:54,853 --> 01:08:56,650
So all right what do you want to do?
962
01:08:56,653 --> 01:08:59,337
You won't to get up there and
let them ask you a lot of questions?
963
01:08:59,592 --> 01:09:01,491
You want them come
poking into your business?
964
01:09:01,492 --> 01:09:02,509
Of course I don't
965
01:09:02,970 --> 01:09:05,360
You want they should find out
about your trips to Paris
966
01:09:06,052 --> 01:09:08,093
about where you got the francs
967
01:09:08,666 --> 01:09:10,069
About your passport
968
01:09:10,525 --> 01:09:16,918
About the greyhound race stocks about
the extra special old source scotch whiskey
969
01:09:16,918 --> 01:09:20,310
You want to be so regarded
that you go straight to prison
970
01:09:20,310 --> 01:09:21,849
-Of course I don't
-Then forget it
971
01:09:21,852 --> 01:09:23,917
If you don't want us to
get us both in Pentonville
972
01:09:24,843 --> 01:09:27,751
or you in Pentonville and me
in Holloway wherever it is
973
01:09:28,771 --> 01:09:32,352
You'd better forget you ever
saw that fellow Groome anywhere
974
01:09:35,443 --> 01:09:36,749
Wish I could forget that
975
01:09:39,843 --> 01:09:41,794
Now your entire concern with Rose Mallory
976
01:09:41,794 --> 01:09:43,664
if I understood your testimony correctly
977
01:09:43,664 --> 01:09:46,577
was reformation to reclaim
her to respectability
978
01:09:47,262 --> 01:09:48,264
Yes it was
979
01:09:48,272 --> 01:09:50,708
And I believe you said you were
trying to stop her drinking
980
01:09:50,748 --> 01:09:51,797
Yes
981
01:09:51,797 --> 01:09:54,741
Pure moral further in another
words was your guiding principal
982
01:09:55,219 --> 01:09:56,691
If you want it to put in that way
983
01:09:56,992 --> 01:09:59,728
You carried out this temperance
campaign lastly in drinking clubs
984
01:10:00,392 --> 01:10:02,702
Do you think that the wisest
method to reform your girl?
985
01:10:02,802 --> 01:10:03,867
We met there yes
986
01:10:03,970 --> 01:10:05,952
You don't suggest your work
met with much success
987
01:10:05,952 --> 01:10:07,041
I don't suggest anything
988
01:10:07,041 --> 01:10:09,151
Nevertheless and against great odds
989
01:10:09,151 --> 01:10:12,766
you can think you to conduct this
selfless and disinterested struggle
990
01:10:12,766 --> 01:10:13,863
for several months
991
01:10:14,253 --> 01:10:16,423
I told you that,what else
do you want me to say?
992
01:10:16,423 --> 01:10:18,692
Only the truth Mr Groome
993
01:10:22,545 --> 01:10:24,094
Your agitation on the 27th July
994
01:10:24,094 --> 01:10:26,480
that was caused by your disappointment
in her behaviour?
995
01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:27,559
It was
996
01:10:27,700 --> 01:10:29,830
Jealousy for example never
entered your thoughts?
997
01:10:29,830 --> 01:10:30,877
Not at all
998
01:10:30,907 --> 01:10:33,355
All your rages all of your
wild talk,all your threats
999
01:10:33,355 --> 01:10:36,036
was prompted by nothing stronger
than moral disapproval
1000
01:10:36,126 --> 01:10:37,165
I think so
1001
01:10:37,860 --> 01:10:40,640
I suggest Mr Groome that you
were madly in love with this girl
1002
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:42,844
that you were consumed with jealousy
1003
01:10:42,844 --> 01:10:46,165
and that is the true explanation
of your entire conduct
1004
01:10:46,165 --> 01:10:47,548
Then I say it is not true
1005
01:10:47,548 --> 01:10:49,615
Were you passionately fond of this girl?
1006
01:10:49,615 --> 01:10:51,019
I liked her very much
1007
01:10:51,019 --> 01:10:55,350
I used the word passionately,
Mr Groome,and I used it deliberately
1008
01:10:55,604 --> 01:10:57,367
Weren't you passionately fond of her?
1009
01:10:57,601 --> 01:10:58,638
I liked her very much
1010
01:11:00,166 --> 01:11:02,070
That's the only answer you'll get out of me
1011
01:11:04,460 --> 01:11:08,035
Would you be good enough to examine those
letters and tell me you recognize them?
1012
01:11:16,182 --> 01:11:17,220
Yes they are mine
1013
01:11:17,604 --> 01:11:19,189
Letters you wrote to Rose Mallory?
1014
01:11:19,388 --> 01:11:20,470
Yes
1015
01:11:20,947 --> 01:11:22,147
May I have them back please?
1016
01:11:23,289 --> 01:11:25,394
I should like to see those
letters again,Sir Charles
1017
01:11:25,494 --> 01:11:26,494
My Lord
1018
01:11:27,148 --> 01:11:28,439
Go on,please
1019
01:11:30,429 --> 01:11:32,587
I take it that you promised to destroy them
1020
01:11:34,916 --> 01:11:35,924
Yes
1021
01:11:36,517 --> 01:11:38,762
Extremely good and assumption
part of any letter writer
1022
01:11:39,187 --> 01:11:41,179
Never write a letter never destroy one
1023
01:11:41,538 --> 01:11:43,517
Perhaps the quotation is not familiar to you
1024
01:11:43,517 --> 01:11:46,185
My proposed reason for
one of them,Mr Groome
1025
01:11:46,185 --> 01:11:48,366
afterwards I should invite
you to explain to us
1026
01:11:50,013 --> 01:11:54,492
I waited three hours for you
last night,hours of torment
1027
01:11:54,883 --> 01:11:56,904
Dearest darling where were you?
1028
01:11:57,444 --> 01:11:59,274
If you only understood one tiny little bit
1029
01:11:59,274 --> 01:12:03,630
If you only realized what our meetings
mean to me I think you'll be less cruel
1030
01:12:04,241 --> 01:12:06,577
I should be there again tomorrow
night at the same time
1031
01:12:07,236 --> 01:12:08,792
If you care for me at all
1032
01:12:08,792 --> 01:12:14,413
you won't disappoint me again,
please,please my own love
1033
01:12:15,180 --> 01:12:16,189
You suggest,Mr Groome
1034
01:12:16,289 --> 01:12:18,606
that this letter was prompted
by no stronger emotion
1035
01:12:18,606 --> 01:12:20,368
than an urge to reform a girl?
1036
01:12:22,205 --> 01:12:24,849
What about dearest darling and my own love
1037
01:12:24,849 --> 01:12:27,917
All right have it your own way
I was crazy about her
1038
01:12:28,017 --> 01:12:30,407
that what you're after isn't that
what you want me to say?
1039
01:12:30,424 --> 01:12:31,784
I'm only after the facts,Mr Groome
1040
01:12:31,884 --> 01:12:35,372
are you telling us the truth now
were you crazy about this girl?
1041
01:12:35,372 --> 01:12:36,502
Yes
1042
01:12:38,122 --> 01:12:39,688
She was an obsession
1043
01:12:39,702 --> 01:12:41,743
You were indeed very jealous
about her won't you?
1044
01:12:41,843 --> 01:12:43,094
Yes
1045
01:12:43,156 --> 01:12:44,549
And because of her waywardness
1046
01:12:44,549 --> 01:12:47,608
your jealousy was constantly
and violently inflamed
1047
01:12:49,366 --> 01:12:50,503
Yes
1048
01:12:58,642 --> 01:12:59,735
What chance has he got?
1049
01:13:00,344 --> 01:13:01,530
Nobody to help him
1050
01:13:02,398 --> 01:13:04,463
No witness to prove that
he is telling the truth
1051
01:13:28,417 --> 01:13:31,166
Excuse me can you tell me how to get in?
1052
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,015
-In where?
-Into court
1053
01:13:34,099 --> 01:13:36,003
Who are you,Sir? A counsel or a criminal?
1054
01:13:36,446 --> 01:13:37,829
I just want to watch
1055
01:13:37,829 --> 01:13:41,342
My own privileged people sitting in
there,you might get away with it
1056
01:13:41,633 --> 01:13:42,639
Thank you
1057
01:13:43,336 --> 01:13:44,700
Another one in at the death
1058
01:13:44,796 --> 01:13:47,151
Let me put together the prosecution
suggestions it is this
1059
01:13:47,251 --> 01:13:51,537
Sometimes in the early evening 27th
July at approximately at 10 o'clock
1060
01:13:51,537 --> 01:13:54,951
you went to Barnden Street you were
let in by Rose Mallory herself
1061
01:13:54,951 --> 01:13:56,603
you were in a blind rage
1062
01:13:56,603 --> 01:14:00,732
and induces by jealousy and in the
cause of a quarrel you murdered her
1063
01:14:00,732 --> 01:14:02,001
I did not
1064
01:14:02,581 --> 01:14:06,974
I've done many things wrong but
I didn't kill her,I didn't do it,I didn't
1065
01:14:08,987 --> 01:14:11,044
Several of witnesses have
mentioned a grey suit
1066
01:14:11,044 --> 01:14:14,521
which they say you used to wear on your
business to the West End,were they correct?
1067
01:14:14,549 --> 01:14:15,640
Yes
1068
01:14:15,696 --> 01:14:17,549
Were you wearing it on
the day of the murder?
1069
01:14:17,872 --> 01:14:18,891
Yes I was
1070
01:14:18,916 --> 01:14:19,979
Were is it now?
1071
01:14:20,930 --> 01:14:21,937
I burnt it
1072
01:14:22,015 --> 01:14:23,070
Why?
1073
01:14:23,756 --> 01:14:24,810
It had blood on it
1074
01:14:25,171 --> 01:14:26,318
How did you get blood on it?
1075
01:14:27,348 --> 01:14:30,204
While I went into the room
and saw Rose lying there I did
1076
01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:33,618
I,the first thing occurred to me I
bent down and tried to pick her up
1077
01:14:34,964 --> 01:14:36,941
Did your wife know you were
burning your suit?
1078
01:14:37,006 --> 01:14:38,055
No
1079
01:14:38,121 --> 01:14:40,215
Did she know it got blood stains on it?
1080
01:14:41,422 --> 01:14:43,271
No I managed to hide the stains from her
1081
01:14:44,042 --> 01:14:47,291
How could you manage to hide a great
mass of blood stains on your clothes?
1082
01:14:47,291 --> 01:14:49,614
I didn't say there were a
great mass of blood stains
1083
01:14:50,506 --> 01:14:51,973
One patch from the coat
1084
01:14:51,973 --> 01:14:54,901
Only one patch,then why couldn't you
send it to the cleaners?
1085
01:14:55,001 --> 01:14:57,023
I told you I didn't want my
wife to know about it
1086
01:14:57,023 --> 01:14:58,697
Are you suggesting,Mr Groome
1087
01:14:58,697 --> 01:15:01,160
that you were incapable of
giving a false explanation?
1088
01:15:01,261 --> 01:15:03,273
I don't pretend to be different
from anybody else
1089
01:15:03,373 --> 01:15:05,620
I don't like telling lies,
I don't do it from choice
1090
01:15:05,934 --> 01:15:09,517
But when the lies seem useful as in
your first statement to Inspector Sullivan
1091
01:15:09,517 --> 01:15:11,657
you can bring yourself to
utter it,can't you?
1092
01:15:12,138 --> 01:15:13,758
I don't pretend to be superhuman
1093
01:15:13,758 --> 01:15:14,758
Of course not
1094
01:15:14,827 --> 01:15:17,416
And your story of an encounter in a
café with a man who knew you
1095
01:15:17,516 --> 01:15:19,503
and addressed by your name is that true?
1096
01:15:19,603 --> 01:15:20,665
Yes it is
1097
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,817
The why is he not here and
corroborate your story?
1098
01:15:23,146 --> 01:15:25,227
I don't know I can't remember his name
1099
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:26,495
I suggest,Mr Groome
1100
01:15:26,595 --> 01:15:27,857
that he does not in fact exist
1101
01:15:27,857 --> 01:15:30,552
but he is just another figment of
your very fertile imagination
1102
01:15:30,937 --> 01:15:32,907
He does exist,he does,
I'm telling you the truth
1103
01:15:33,274 --> 01:15:35,089
That was I've been up
against from the start
1104
01:15:35,089 --> 01:15:38,321
that's what nobody can see I'm telling
the truth and nobody believe me
1105
01:15:40,687 --> 01:15:42,476
The trouble is I know it doesn't sound true
1106
01:15:43,540 --> 01:15:45,896
What good is the truth
when it doesn't sound true
1107
01:15:47,216 --> 01:15:53,621
Yes he says I did threaten the girl but
I never intended to carry out the threats
1108
01:15:54,167 --> 01:15:57,547
Yes I was in an agitated
state at Joe's club that night
1109
01:15:57,547 --> 01:16:00,399
but that was only because she was late
1110
01:16:01,065 --> 01:16:06,175
I did dispute the accuracy of the clock
but that was for no particular reason
1111
01:16:06,841 --> 01:16:10,216
I did run away,I did lie low,
I did make a false statement
1112
01:16:10,216 --> 01:16:12,308
and I did burn the suit I wore that night
1113
01:16:12,308 --> 01:16:17,161
but all that was nothing to
do with the feeling of guilt
1114
01:16:18,091 --> 01:16:20,704
Now let me remind you of
one more all important fact
1115
01:16:21,825 --> 01:16:23,936
Arthur Groome is not
on trial for his morals
1116
01:16:24,945 --> 01:16:28,227
The charge against him is one of murder
and penalty in the law for murder is death
1117
01:16:29,355 --> 01:16:31,816
This man who stands before
you on trial for his life
1118
01:16:31,816 --> 01:16:36,895
may have done wrong but members of
the jury he has already paid for that wrong
1119
01:16:37,917 --> 01:16:43,196
Few men could have paid so dearly for
a fall from grace,he's paying for it now
1120
01:16:43,196 --> 01:16:46,491
He's been paying for it every minute
of the day for the past few weeks
1121
01:16:46,491 --> 01:16:48,744
he will go on paying for it
as long as he lives
1122
01:16:49,547 --> 01:16:52,837
because no man can escape the knowledge
that is locked in his own heart
1123
01:16:53,885 --> 01:16:55,976
But that knowledge in the
case of Arthur Groome
1124
01:16:56,835 --> 01:17:00,003
does not and cannot comprehend
the guilt of murder
1125
01:17:00,003 --> 01:17:04,004
Now members of the jury will you
retire to consider your verdict
1126
01:17:22,002 --> 01:17:23,884
The verdict will get
them at five o'clock(?)
1127
01:17:23,984 --> 01:17:26,384
Surely if we catch the final edition
1128
01:18:42,478 --> 01:18:44,893
Members of the jury are you
agreed upon your verdict?
1129
01:18:45,157 --> 01:18:46,177
Yes
1130
01:18:46,529 --> 01:18:48,766
Do you find the prisoner
guilty or not guilty?
1131
01:18:49,219 --> 01:18:50,305
Guilty
1132
01:18:55,967 --> 01:18:59,134
Prisoner at the bar,you
stand convicted of murder
1133
01:19:00,136 --> 01:19:01,203
have you anything to say
1134
01:19:01,203 --> 01:19:04,418
why the court should not give you a
judgement of death according to law?
1135
01:19:05,151 --> 01:19:08,677
I didn't do it,I didn't do it
1136
01:19:09,246 --> 01:19:10,335
I didn't do it
1137
01:19:16,937 --> 01:19:19,744
Groome was removed the next
day to prison to wait(?)execution
1138
01:19:20,950 --> 01:19:23,235
Meanwhile an appeal was taken and denied
1139
01:19:24,511 --> 01:19:27,032
Nor was the petition for clemency
circulated by Mrs Groome
1140
01:19:27,032 --> 01:19:30,070
and signed by their neighbours,
fellow workers and other friends
1141
01:19:30,070 --> 01:19:31,217
any more successful
1142
01:19:32,291 --> 01:19:34,481
The story disappeared from the newspapers
1143
01:19:35,539 --> 01:19:39,264
people forgot about it and in
fact the case was closed
1144
01:19:40,469 --> 01:19:43,527
All that remained was a few
long days and longer nights
1145
01:19:44,380 --> 01:19:46,763
Until Arthur Groome should
mount the scaffold
1146
01:20:01,107 --> 01:20:04,876
I prayed for this but you
shouldn't have come
1147
01:20:06,313 --> 01:20:07,848
We haven't given up you know
1148
01:20:08,830 --> 01:20:10,326
It's no use I'm afraid
1149
01:20:11,766 --> 01:20:12,980
We'll keep on anyway
1150
01:20:14,574 --> 01:20:15,836
You believe me don't you?
1151
01:20:16,899 --> 01:20:18,427
Of course I do
1152
01:20:18,957 --> 01:20:20,040
It's all I got left now
1153
01:20:20,926 --> 01:20:22,429
All that stops me going crazy
1154
01:20:23,065 --> 01:20:25,358
But you understand I didn't do it
1155
01:20:25,697 --> 01:20:27,303
I know you didn't do it,sweet
1156
01:20:28,263 --> 01:20:29,523
Poor little girl
1157
01:20:29,605 --> 01:20:31,472
Please Arthur none of that
1158
01:20:31,863 --> 01:20:35,474
I know but when I think what I
brought on you shame and misery
1159
01:20:36,008 --> 01:20:38,160
I won't listen,Arthur,
I won't I really won't
1160
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:44,176
You mustn't even think that way I love you
too much to think of nothing else but that
1161
01:20:46,233 --> 01:20:48,535
I've been praying a lot you know
1162
01:20:49,140 --> 01:20:50,235
So have I
1163
01:20:53,395 --> 01:20:57,390
I don't suppose it does much
good,really but it comforts me
1164
01:20:58,997 --> 01:21:00,375
Gives me hope too
1165
01:21:01,257 --> 01:21:03,056
I don't think there is
any hope left,darling
1166
01:21:03,057 --> 01:21:05,143
I don't think we should fool
ourselves about that
1167
01:21:06,126 --> 01:21:08,523
It's over now,we might as well face it
1168
01:21:09,113 --> 01:21:10,162
I suppose it is foolish
1169
01:21:10,262 --> 01:21:15,108
but I prayed that the one who really
did it will come out and say so
1170
01:21:15,269 --> 01:21:17,007
Not much chance of that I'm afraid
1171
01:21:18,638 --> 01:21:19,704
Maybe there isn't
1172
01:21:20,183 --> 01:21:21,393
But I pray for it anyway
1173
01:21:22,461 --> 01:21:24,824
I pray to God to say something to him
1174
01:21:24,824 --> 01:21:27,565
To make him understand how wrong this is
1175
01:21:28,675 --> 01:21:32,175
He doesn't must let an innocent
man suffer for something he didn't do
1176
01:21:34,493 --> 01:21:37,720
I pray for you and for the kids
1177
01:21:38,301 --> 01:21:39,734
And you get along all right
1178
01:21:40,848 --> 01:21:42,383
And for courage
1179
01:21:42,895 --> 01:21:44,313
And strength
1180
01:21:46,412 --> 01:21:48,350
I'm terribly frightened Mary
1181
01:21:49,683 --> 01:21:52,735
I don't want to stumble,
or anything like that
1182
01:21:54,072 --> 01:21:56,127
But I'm terribly scared
1183
01:21:59,068 --> 01:22:00,668
We both pray darling
1184
01:22:02,317 --> 01:22:03,317
Pray hard
1185
01:23:26,039 --> 01:23:27,066
Come in
1186
01:23:31,467 --> 01:23:32,467
Yes?
1187
01:23:32,476 --> 01:23:34,082
Sir that letter about the Groome case
1188
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:35,896
It's the first we had with that handwriting
1189
01:23:35,896 --> 01:23:38,272
they've checked it and it seems to
be quite straight forward
1190
01:23:38,574 --> 01:23:39,976
I see
1191
01:23:42,214 --> 01:23:43,707
What time is it,Inspector
1192
01:23:44,361 --> 01:23:46,481
Nine fifteen,half past ten o'clock?
1193
01:23:47,722 --> 01:23:48,783
Ten past
1194
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:50,255
It's time to go out
1195
01:23:50,354 --> 01:23:52,386
Yes plan(?) that way I should think
1196
01:23:55,017 --> 01:23:56,692
Yes all right
1197
01:24:05,859 --> 01:24:11,344
What does it matter? Arthur Groome is
dead,hanged as high as hay man
1198
01:24:12,509 --> 01:24:14,211
If you care to know what really happened
1199
01:24:15,610 --> 01:24:22,005
I stabbed her my friend,
I was the instrument of justice
1200
01:24:26,985 --> 01:24:28,806
Instrument of justice?
1201
01:24:32,039 --> 01:24:33,455
Get me Richmond 342
1202
01:24:34,466 --> 01:24:36,318
What are you staring
at me for? Get me a car
1203
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,216
Mrs Groom,Inspector Sullivan again
1204
01:24:42,741 --> 01:24:45,501
When I spoke to you at Old Bailey
on the second day of the trial
1205
01:24:45,601 --> 01:24:46,862
there was a man talking to you
1206
01:24:46,962 --> 01:24:51,707
tall thin hacked face in a blue suit
with no overcoat and no hat
1207
01:24:51,707 --> 01:24:52,869
Do you remember?
1208
01:24:52,886 --> 01:24:53,887
Who was it?
1209
01:24:55,424 --> 01:24:56,459
Yes
1210
01:24:57,262 --> 01:24:58,348
Yes
1211
01:24:59,874 --> 01:25:02,252
Thank you Mrs Groome I'll be
with you within about an hour
1212
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,381
What a horror for that poor woman,Sir
1213
01:25:07,627 --> 01:25:09,534
-What woman?
-Mrs Groome.Sir
1214
01:25:09,741 --> 01:25:11,116
Didn't you speak to her just now?
1215
01:25:11,333 --> 01:25:12,405
Yes
1216
01:25:13,676 --> 01:25:15,259
What are you talking about,what horror?
1217
01:25:15,260 --> 01:25:16,978
For this to come now Sir
1218
01:25:16,978 --> 01:25:18,250
When he is dead
1219
01:25:19,564 --> 01:25:21,063
What's the matter with you
1220
01:25:21,872 --> 01:25:22,953
Groome is not dead
1221
01:25:25,334 --> 01:25:26,385
Not dead?
1222
01:25:27,099 --> 01:25:28,663
Can't you see it in the morning paper?
1223
01:25:31,025 --> 01:25:32,410
That's all that is here
1224
01:25:33,657 --> 01:25:34,930
What was in that paper?
1225
01:25:36,188 --> 01:25:39,198
Sorry Mr Jefferson but I couldn't resist
keeping an ace in the upper sleeve
1226
01:25:40,702 --> 01:25:42,278
This was the front page of the Express
1227
01:25:42,278 --> 01:25:45,109
published on the morning
fixed for Groome's execution
1228
01:25:50,879 --> 01:25:53,935
-So he didn't hang
-No,no he didn't
1229
01:25:54,873 --> 01:25:58,061
The moment Sullivan got the letter,he
was on the trail of the real murderer
1230
01:25:58,542 --> 01:26:00,813
He was arrested tried and
sent to Broadmoor for life
1231
01:26:02,959 --> 01:26:03,531
And Groome?
1232
01:26:03,572 --> 01:26:05,744
Was released in the moment
the other man was convicted
1233
01:26:07,443 --> 01:26:10,310
-What then?
-You're the writer,you tell me
1234
01:26:13,298 --> 01:26:15,268
Well I guess he went home
1235
01:26:19,885 --> 01:26:20,907
His wife was there
1236
01:26:33,191 --> 01:26:34,697
