long now have you reported this to the police I am the police oh here's your phone who you're calling Collins I love Collins mrs. crane we found miss Ross body and we have it here at the morgue I ain't interested but aren't you going to thank me for bringing your wife back to you dick hey that's a big joke that's not my wife perhaps you better come down and take a look at miss Ross maybe she's your wife I ain't interested we can't accept this body it's been embalmed we have to have it identified you want to call the coroner this time a night so what yourself well leave it here but haven't

we have the body of Ellis Ross here would you take a look it's huh that's Altima Thanks who is he a hot trumpet that's the fellow that Alice Ross killed herself for but you said she was murdered yeah and you're letting him go we have a rough shadow on him all the time what's a rough shadow one that lets himself be seen by the party he's shadow why what's the reason for that it's tough on the nerves hello French we have the girl it disappeared from here perhaps you can identify her perhaps never saw this girl before my life how did you get her back here without attracting the police lieutenant is knew he didn't recognize her we told him she was left with an undertaker by somebody who disappeared he wanted not interested and thank you very much French is much too casual he may be back or Cullen's if the girl you took back wasn't his wife yeah well better a lot of dough she is doc you're gonna need mrs. Taylor there's a couple of places where she may be I'll find it why don't you let alone get some sleep listen if you think anybody's coming back why don't you and I hide out here and wait for them we might get them red-handed pretty risky well that's all right with me but it is with you all right I'll stay here and what's these two spots and you watch the outside entrance from your car in case I fall asleep asleep in here how could you you don't know me I can sleep anywhere put the light out look at him I got him I got him doc hit the Lights Courtland it's a good thing you were here doc I really want to sleep I'm sorry crane but I couldn't let her be identified oh then it is your [ __ ] this case isn't closed yet why not at this burden coming on get me strong Taylor and mrs. Taylor and the coroner anymore I'll give you just one hour that's biggy it you couldn't use Charlie Phillips to throw is he he was kidnapped in Philly in nineteen three good say what's Williams bringing that makes you think you can hang this thing on Cortland suppose I don't you know we're softened you were before are you know just maybe a suit for false arrest from Courtland can't you hold up we're trying to knock my brains out that's no crime you're so cute pleasure to see you again take one of the good seats doc I'll need some hydrogen tetroxide huh just ask for h2o for oh I get a day you want a straighter with soda go in a basin from the laboratory [Applause] and one of these people can identify the bunny tore them car they will how about a Cortland she was my sister and it was you who stole the girl's body yes I know if I claim that the disgrace would kill my mother so I hired a man to help me which one of you killed al Horne I didn't I only meant to stun him the rest of the story you know but we still don't know who killed the Undertaker I did why well he had threatened to talking and I was in so deep that I didn't in wrong word Cortland just I'm gonna keep quiet you know he did kill our horn but he didn't mean to that's only a manslaughter the death of that Undertaker was cold-blooded murder Cortland wouldn't do that even the shield his sister I'm not shielding anyone my sister is dead and there's nothing more I can do for put it right there uh mrs. Taylor I wonder if we can ask you to stand up for a moment please I wanted to be asking too much for you to put those lovely curls in the basin must I do it it's no use he knows who I am but I don't know who she is his sister if she's Kathryn Cortland then who is the lady in the morgue the dead woman is the real mrs. Taylor her husband killed her because she wouldn't give him a divorce so he could marry the rich miss Horton did you know that Miss partner no I didn't know he said she'd killed herself he did kill herself why should I kill her because she was always following and spying on you when you found her occupying a room next to miss Cortland you killed her while she was taking her back and you dragged her through the connecting door in the Miss courtland's room when you got through you discovered her body and left water marks on the door so you filled the tub to explain them three haven't been living in the hotel only a few days nobody saw them very much naturally everyone assumed the body found in that room belonged in that room how do you know Alice Ross mrs. Taylor was murdered because her heel marks were a foot above the bathroom scales if she had stood on them to hang herself those marks would have been the same height as the scales you're very clever mr. crane wait a minute I'm not finished that's the gun he killed the Undertaker with it you can get it no one tried it if I were you don't arrest him strong are you think he has you knew your sister was alive in the first didn't you yes when Taylor told sis his wife had killed herself and fightin her and she wired me I flew in the town but mother had already hired the agency if you turn state's evidence Courtland Taylor will hang I'll do the best I can to get you all for the light sentence even if he did try to kill Craig that one will forget I don't know how I ever bought myself to that thank Heaven you stopped me but how did Williams happen to be there you sent him a look persisted in you no I wrote on that card stick around things are going to happen but why I know you were the man who moved the buddy you heard me tell Williams we were going to the cemetery last night so you sent us to the party to get us out of the way well you did it but that was guessing now I'd begin to suspect you and when you didn't show up at the party I was sure you send us there to get us out of the way so I said little trap for you I left a message with the butler that we had gone to the graveyard you showed up there a half an hour later but at no time it either dakarai told you which graveyard we were going to hide we doc what are you doing no way I would just think and Bill with it with a little lemon it wouldn't be bad don't fool around with that start you want to turn out to be a blonde Margy main eight seven one six four come on where did you get that number I'm a detective remember [Music]
