my murder you're gone you had an argument with her was that it she kissed you off maybe you got there early and killed her because you was sore was that the way it was I don't know maybe you didn't kill her I don't know anymore look there har you're de on your feet you've been going on like this for hours it was my angle my suspect look will you do me a favor leave me alone with him look pal why don't you let me look I brought him in remember yeah but do you know what you doing something I got to do I got to come on cine if you don't we will now comes a tough part getting you in here was a walk away getting you out isn't going to be so easy what are you talking about I've thought this thing through now put two and two together you didn't kill her Alex yeah then get me out of here that's what I said isn't going to be so easy maybe maybe that's the angle what do you mean reasonable doubt that's it reasonable doubt now look there was a murder committed here in the city today one there sure that was done by the same guy that killed chatwick now listen I'm going to call him back in here and I'm going to ask you where you were at 400 p.m. today that's the time of the murder are you listening what's the matter I got to sell you on the idea of getting you out of here alive now look I'm going to ask you a question you're going to say you were out in the island at Rigo Park you were out of the city get it you were no place near where the murder happened repeat it repeat it I I was out on the island and Rego Park good you'll be back in your own bed before midnight okay fellas you can come inside it feels different now going to answer a few more questions it's a rule with me always an NA killer when I see one okay here we go again where were you at 400 p.m. today I was out on the island in Rigo park at do oh okay take them cman hey hey what's this you told us Chum you took care of the Chadwick Dame and then you took care of meny's meny's the pond broker you stole the Mur gun from and when we found the gun today and we traced it you knew you had to kill him fast to keep him from identifying I didn't have anything kill him at 4:00 this afternoon in his house in Rego Park I don't know that I should do this it's probably not too wise of me Mr Harris not being at home but oh you two do have such honest faces I don't think he could mind oh and you mustn't mind if I sneak in here in a few minutes to make the bed you may think it's a little peculiar my making the bed so late at night but you know when I have a a rumor who's away all day and I can count on his absence I take advantage of it to do all the little things I missed so going to the circulating Library you know devoting a little time to myself you uh you won't mind will you of course not Charming isn't she H what's there a roundtrip ticket from Springfield how long did the commissioner say the little man have been in town 4 days why very peculiar when you come to think of it what is that chadrick should be wearing a cotton kimona to have dinner with a number one guy would she taking it for granted that she was an average young woman of course she wouldn't why didn't I think of that unless of course everything she owned was of the cleaners or she didn't have anything else to wear look do me a favor will you mhm hop over to her apartment take a look at what she had in her closet oh I do hope I'm not being a b all right lamard you'll be back won't you I'll meet you back at the house darling this thing pretty as a picture I suppose you you find it hard to believe but I look very much like that when I was her age matter of fact people used to call me Dolly though that isn't my name at all uh my name's Henryetta how long has Mr Harris been staying with you Miss Henrietta four or 5 days why no indeed no he came here on a Monday as I remembered that's been two weeks ago not not that I don't enjoy your company but would you be staying much longer I'm going to have to stay Miss Henrietta you've been housing a murderer [Music] Miss Lane isn't it oh Mr Harris my heart what are you doing here thinking and you I'd like to take a peek in this closet may I no law against it thanks a lot it's an idea of Mr Cranston why she had lots of things plenty of things how's that Mr Harris you can leave Braum out of your thinking what do you mean leave him out of my thinking he's booked for murder then they've got to let him go why because he's innocent it may take time to prove but he's innocent he's being held for murder Miss and he did it that's not true I happen to know my business I'm sorry Mr Harry you say cron told you to come up here that's right why well it's very simple if you'll just listen somebody else got here before braam did the night of the murder after all a girl with a closet full of nice clothes isn't going to be wearing a cotton kimona to have a romantic dinner it's ridiculous is it after all she loved him I wouldn't be so fast with ridiculous Miss Lane ridiculous to you maybe with what little you know well if she was going to get dressed up pretty she didn't have much time to do it why not because she was in that kimona 10 minutes before he got here people are always so fast and loose with a talk about love 10 minutes how do you [Music] know if you're waiting for for him you'll have a long wait Mr Cranston I will he told me he was home 10 every night why did he say a thing like that he never comes home before 2 or 3:00 in the morning often wondered where he goes at night this way I never did ask him but one time and he answered me so strangely what did he say he said he'd been with the girl he loved don't you think that's strange the girl he' loved any idea who that could be not unless it's the young lady in the picture what picture I really shouldn't know about this but you won't tell Will you her I have a feeling you understand how it was and you wouldn't want to cause me any more trouble after all I've [Music] had but you'd have to miss Lane wouldn't you you got to realize I can't take any chances on I'm not [Music] a what's happening to me the shadow who's that what was that laugh this is a trick no Mr Harris you are the trickster you've murdered a girl because she didn't love you and put the man she loved Behind Bars that's quite a trick Mr Harris who are you you killed Grim bar to keep him from talking and you killed mes [Music] why did I kill menis you didn't want the porn broker to save brah from The Chair by telling the police he wasn't the man who robbed his shop on the night of the 3 did I say trickster you're a magician Mr Harris who are you I am the Shadow the fear of Retribution in men's Minds I am Justice [Music] who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men the shadow knows a
