Weston's body all of which has been admitted by the defense all right William if you please don't anybody take a potshot at me while it's dark in here we're seeing a movie not writing at 9:30 on the morning of April 26 1937 Julie Dave mrs. weston's maid tried to gain access to the apartment she rang the bell failing to get any response she rushed to mr. Wayne the manager who immediately called his friend detective strong and later joined by the janitor hastened to investigate anyone got a key to this joint nobody but mr. and mrs. Weston they had a special lock put on the door couldn't be opened a lock inside or out for that for the vichy homme okay what's going on mrs. Weston does Nansen we have no key to investigate come but I had an appointment with her well the elevator boy says she hasn't left something wrong break the door down go ahead I'll be responsible should I should I call come tomorrow I'll call the Carmen should I go mr. Whitman I'd rather tell him myself did someone say he had the only key beside mrs. Weschler yes he had the only other one is this mrs. weston's key yes well in that case I'd better have a look around and of all the doors and windows are locked things are gonna look bad for mr. Westerland strong didn't find every door and window lock this together with the fact that the only other key to the apartment was still in mr. Weston's possession at the time of his arrest constituted the chief evidence pointing to the guilt of Robert Westland in the murder of his wife and glad to this super epic the prosecution proved that mrs. Wesley was killed with an obsolete Webley pistol mr. Wesson had one but it didn't it missing since the man charming couldn't there but there was somebody who saw him shooting one no but the shuttle's who live next door saw they heard a shot at 1210 I suppose you testified you left about 12:30 no 12:40 that's great you've sure got a lot to work on so I guess we'll take the case right he provided of course you folks like to play games now what are you talking about plain detective after all everyone in this room knows more about this case than I do I hope so well if there's anything I can do you can tell us about that wealthy pistol of yours just like Westlands wasn't it there's but the police checked it against the bullet the cube mrs. Western and the bullets didn't match just thought you might be able to help us find the missing pistol only because you know what well please look like of course miss Martin you might be able to help us find the person who imitated your voice on the telephone after all she must have known you pretty well too a fool mr. Westland why look at me why indeed yes what quiet by the way did you know the elevator boy testified that he heard the Westlands quarreling that night elevator boys always do and don't forget cylinders the butler he's a Westlands will but ten grand that's right and he kept the missing pistol make a note of that dock right cheek here's a note do you wanna think about your mr.

Brown particular about buying a Webley well he insisted on making sure of its accuracy so I got some bullets and took him out to the target race well can I see the target range yes right this way mr. Franks what's back of those targets earth aren't we clay do you remove the bullets after you shoot him into the bank when we have him for a couple of years have any other wartime webley's been fired into they're all they're pretty rare in American in fact the one we sold Brown was the only one we had did you get those lovely bullets out for me I think so you see there were jacketed bullets we don't use many of them but we'd have to dig away about six feet of bank take a man half the day dig in the bank and screen the lad are you mr. crane yeah I haven't told any answer sir you better wait I'd hide the men to dig for the bullets and I give $100 for every bullet they found give me a blank and round part is six times Britain's hasn't been so good I could do a little digging myself everybody including murder in warden's office at 9:00 p.m. train including them right here at 9:00 p.m. it's 18 minutes at 12:00 now and no crane where is your mr. crane so that right now why are you waiting out here maybe I'm going to guess that great big detective hello listen at a time like this don't do anything too disconcerting in seventeen and a half minutes it'll be midnight and two minutes after that did I ever tell you what happened to me 17 you have minutes to say that a true story you're ready crane where've you been the state's attorneys waiting you state's attorney boss that's right how to meet you later the governor's agreed to accept mr. Alsup recommendation on or at 3:00 did he get me the real murderer that's easy the murderer is in this room did you know that the accounts of Weston's clients are loaded with Pony bun we learned it today for chip so that proves he's innocent then whether it help me now let's reconstruct it remember you've only had 16 minutes that hardly seems enough as I see it Westland was lured to his wife's apartment by a phone cord he thought came from Miss Martin and if there was a call you've had your chance let him talk the police concede that he left at 12:40 but we can't prove it without granting engage day so are you from the neck up here the found out the same as bolted that April 25th is the day that daylight saving starts in Chicago so the shuttle didn't hit that shot until 1:10 not 12:10 we know that mrs. Westland was killed with a Webley and we've known all along that it wasn't mr. wood berries as majorly as proven with a ballistic test now we know it was mr. Westlands that's right my test shows that well mr. Westlands gun could not have killed his wife just a minute mr. Westlands gun was missing all during the trial when was it found yesterday at the bottom of the Chicago River and how did you know it was there West we'll probably gave at home and he put it there himself and I had to do that five months ago right major Lee as far as I could judge it or in the water at least that law how did you come to find it Trevor deduction the magazine's call it the morning that mrs. weston's body was discovered mr. Bolton called Simmons the Butler and told him to come down to the jail is that right mr. Bolton that's right is that right yes sir and where Simmons was out of the apartment Folkston slipped in and stole Westlands gun that's not true why would I steal my partner's gun after his wife was dead and how would I get into his apartment I'll answer your second question first you got into the apartment with a key giving you by Emily Liu how dare you do you think I'd give Roberts Caye to your husband no this is ridiculous d realize whistling's to die every minute counts and you're talking if I'm talking about the woman that owns this bracelet with an inscription on the inside that says to my wife Omar be Richard Bolton and if we are married is that proof I stole graphics gun or kill his wife no but it helps ELISA shows us how you get into Westlands apartment Wine Train you say bowls install the Westlands gun at 11:30 that's right then he had an appointment with mr. Woodbury his partner in their office at 12 o'clock and he arrived at 12 - that's right that's quick work unless you drive underground and dispose of the gun on the way to that nice big opening in the bridge so that's the reason for all those rides tell us South Street right through trial and error we found the only way that takes less than half an hour and crosses the river hit from you will he make it that strong sounds swell but mrs. Weston was already dead who killed her I regret very much to say that Robert Weston's wife was murdered by his partner yeah which one mr. Bolton that's a lie look not true where - did he grandstand play of a cheap detective Westland dies in a few minutes and you stand here making ridiculous accusations come on we're ready [Music] it's as simple as this miss Martin did call West on the night of the murder I didn't I didn't sit down a keep quiet how do you know Westland said the town over that fall was like Niagara Falls proving what she took the telephone in the shower with her called Westland and disguised her voice then for fear that he might call back she cut the telephone wires and her mother didn't hear she cut a night's ride it I think succeeded in getting Westland to go to his wife she called bolston he waited for Weston to leave at 12:40 then he called on mrs. Westland and killed her at 1:10 the time the shuttle's heard the shot then he stole the key and left but I found her key on the table next morning sure while you were examining mrs. Weston's body bolston slipped the key back on the table by golly he could have you've reconstructed the murder magnificent plate frame let me amend her agreed there's only two minutes left you say bolts some new Westland had a Webley and use another Webley himself to kill mrs. Weston and installed restaurants to make Westland Virgilia I'm sorry this is all circumstantial you can't produce the weapon you say Poston use can you know I can I hope to do something just as good with my witnesses trouble with air sickness periods for rate for the US Marines this is hammer Meyer the writing in Arms Company on April 25th a certain PT Brown born a Webley automatic from them look around have a Myers is the man in the room quick that's the man then you produce the gun no but I can prove it the one that killed mrs. Westland without producing it yes Tom bass early hurry up it's quite simple in this envelope of the bullets as mr. half a liar dug up at the target range in Peoria mr. Bolton fired them before he bought the gun in this envelope is the bullet that killed mrs. Westland the ballistic markings on both bullets are identical therefore the same gun killed mrs. West would major lease evidence stand up in court it always has don't sit there like a stuffed duck answer them yes warden just a minute I'll call him mr. Ross wetson come here they want to upstairs do you mind letting us in on the motive bond business hasn't been so good lately has it mr. Woodbury hey oh no not so good mostl must have been buying hot buns switching in for Westlands good ones and then when it came to involved with his pilfering he'll mrs. Wesson and try to hang it on her husband you can pick it up yourself you and spray that spread the poor guy he knew too much being your bookkeeper and we found out the money grant was mixed up in a phony bomb deal maybe Manning was gonna double-cross you with that alibi no I suppose I killed many grant and spray to know but I think you'll tell us who did come on both of you what's happened you're a free man yes but Emily will wasn't of ranty know she'll tell you everything but what she won't I knew with it that she helped a lot thank you but I still don't understand what what's happened huh come on don't please there's a miss Hogan waiting ah success at last see mr.
