Saturday night theater, we present James Kenny Williams
needle and Carlton Hobbs in counsel for the defense.
A new play for radio, dramatized by Felix, Tilton from the novel,
by Jeffrey Ashford. The action begins in a Country
Town. Not far from London.
We're on the corner of the High Street, is the main branch of a
Bank inside. This afternoon are a nearby
greengrocer, two ladies and an elderly man.
I found this. Yes, please, the way they keep
you waiting. It's at Alvarado had the bag
come for some firms wages or something, because they keep one
cashier for the private customers.
Don't fret Marian Wynn. Next thousand four hundred
pounds in notes and 25 pounds. 4 Shillings in silver.
They are mystery. Thank you, mr.
Conan. Bitch, heavy, I'm afraid.
Oh, I can manage. Yeah, hang on mr.
Breen, you have locked it. Give me.
I must be dreaming. He got mad and he dig deep and
lock it. Why don't they use younger men?
Why don't they send the money anyway?
Because waiting for you outside a hopeless place, just around
the corner. They can't park in the High
Street. You got the chain on.
All right? Yes.
Thank you. See you next week?
Mr.:, it's good afternoon. Now, it is five pound.
Please refer Thank you, Marion that.
Oh man, I don't think he's, well, he's stopped but the door.
I don't need his lips. He gets to his car.
Yes, of course. That poor old man.
Oh thank heavens. He's a police car right on the
spot for once. Let's go over no no no.
Again their baby shooting, don't be silly.
There's one of the police from the car who's my woody was
quick. Got the thief already.
Come on. All right you, we saw the whole
thing. Put him in the car, boys.
Come on. What are you all right?
Sir. Yes.
Thank you all for soon. The big was only change.
Thank heavens. You were there.
I'm afraid. We'll have to ask you to come
along with us just for a few minutes or so then we'll drive
you wherever you were going. Alright, thank you.
After you get in the back sir. Really?
Yeah, he's gone been found abandoned police car.
Abandoned is. Where are the men?
I don't know. It's an old man in the car.
Unconscious badly, beaten up, and three police uniforms.
Let me on a car. It once I'd better get done
there. What's the verdict out?
Hello. And thank you alive but only
just head injury severe and obviously, the result of a
severe coughing, whether he survives or not, in the hands of
the gods. Do we know who he is?
Or is not much doubt. He's William brain married.
I think. So that of on the wife prepare
for the worst, okay. Nothing's going, Sergeant, the
fingerprints inside, inspector. I'll give the car a more
thorough going-over when I get it back.
Anything, besides the uniforms dirty handkerchief and the rough
cloth love em, kill em, all down, to the lab.
We'll see if I can make anything of them and Garrett.
You look after the car, I'd better get back and report to
the superintendent. How in Bill you've heard about
it soon? Yes, I've got news for you.
They found out three men well down at the old laundry.
The one that was found out. It was a phony.
Call saying two-minute been seen.
They are fighting with knives. Our boys went and were beaten
up. They were found in that
underclothes bound gagged costume covered with blood,
however, they could. You bear that ticket especially
bill. This is a mess.
You can say that again, it was a clever bit of planning which
doesn't help. Name, one of them appeared to
try to commit the robbery then the other three breasts as
policemen turned up to catch. The thief red-handed people
watching for the whole thing was under control and didn't report
anything to anyone. It beats me.
Yes. Why was the driver of the first
car? Parked on the corner and serve
where the automobile, it's no parking in front of the bank.
Whoever heard of a motorist taking any notice of a little
thing like that. Press have got the story I
suppose you better have we come out of it as wheel Charlie's
don't we? We fall for a false alarm, three
of our men are knocked out and then the crown lead.
All their uniforms are used to carry out a robbery of fifteen
thousand quid Bill. We've got to turn the heat on.
The police myself pretty red faces than in somewhere or
other. Why?
Well, some fugs knocked out, three of them.
But I'll be uniforms and cleaned up 15,000 for Bank.
Read it Daddy! No!
Jane! There's no time.
Let's get off to school. It's 21st.
I expect there's another bus strike on.
It wasn't five minutes ago when I went outside for the mooc, all
right. I wish you wouldn't hate that
school, so I wish we could afford to send it to a better
one. So if you will marry an
impoverished, young Barrister who has to sit around in
Chambers all day, waiting for someone to employ them, don't be
silly. Now I get so tired of sitting
there thinking old Doyle four cups of tea and watching the
others to their crosswords, do stop worrying, you see very
soon. You'll have so much work in.
We should be met alone. I'll go right.
Tell me about this robbery, David your roving way to snatch,
but the police take a pretty poor viewer when their own
people are beaten up. They may look a slow lot, but
believe me when they're really on to something.
They grind exceedingly, small. Well, Bill.
How's it going? I think we're beginning to get
some mess, huh? About time, too.
Did you see the leader in the local paper?
I certainly did. What's come up in forensic?
Science, people have been through about that handkerchief.
There's a laundry Mark and the laundry said percent by some of
the name of younger in risdon Crescent.
Garrett's gone. Round are not tell, doesn't get
it to come straight in here when you get back with him.
Anything else? Yes.
That lump of mud that was found in the car.
We've had the lab breakdown on that horse dung, chicken dung,
peat moss and thought Ascension clay well.
Old John says, there's a belt of this particular class out of the
river and the peat moss and the dung of what Keen gardeners.
Give it to lighten it. Do the line.
What gets my goat is the ticket and Coke on help us more money
and he saw them in to attack him for a moment before they would
cost and they were wearing nylon stockings over their face.
Don't seem to have put up much of a fight.
Do that in every chance they were not groggy before.
They knew what was what they all have had their wits about them
from the beginning. Easy to say that.
Now sir, you're not suggesting bill that I compliment them and
give them a signed certificate, are you?
No sir, current instructions that come straight outside shot,
the dog at it. And tell me what you found out,
I saw the wife sir mrs. Younger, the husband was out on
duties, a bus driver, I showed her the handkerchief.
She says, it's her husband, but she knows.
He was on his bus that afternoon.
I had to check that for the bus station.
Why was the handkerchief out of his position?
Then we she thinks one of The Lodges may have taken it lodges,
Yeshua says two or three and she says, she doesn't check the
handkerchiefs properly or The missed it before.
So I asked her if she ever suspected any of The Lodges of
stealing things, shyam Du Nord a bit and then said that there was
one, she'd had her eye on though.
She never called him up to anything.
He's not there anymore, and she couldn't remember his name to.
We looked at their guest book, it was Clover George Clover.
I've got the whole list here. Haven't shaken records.
The chap Clover on all the other.
Wait a minute. George Clover and rings a bell.
A man of that name went down, not too long ago for armed
robbery. I remember the case.
Well, not to treatment over the head.
It was thinking that we should cash to the bank.
He ought to have landed five years, but the judge went soft
in the head. Let me give him 18 months
Clover. It's a bit of a long shot, but
something tells me it's not too long.
I'll get onto records at once. You get the file photograph,
find out where he is what he's doing.
I think they're getting warmed up.
Clever works for all pointed a market gardener on the south
side of the river. I've been down there.
It confirms that the soil is that particular claim that he
feeds it with dung and peat moss.
And also that Clover took the day off on the 17th.
Ah, now we're getting somewhere. We've got further than that.
Sir right? Had a hunch.
That someone might have been down by the river when they
dumped the police car. With brain inside, it has been
talked to everybody who takes regular voice, any luck not till
today but now he's found an elderly lady.
Miss Western exercising her dog. She remembers seeing two cars
there, a black one and a red one.
She saw three men walk from the black one, to the red one and
drive off which way to the red car.
Go towards would horn, did you get the number?
No, but she's absolutely certain.
It was a Radley. The first model after the
introduction of the overhead valve engine.
However, devil did she know that her father was mad about cars
and brought her up to be. Thank God for fathers.
Beginning to look. All right isn't it so not bad
what about the others curve has got two cronies call Denton and
green can't get a line on a fourth man there even a bit more
speed work guy I think little hole in the three Hello, right?
I've been hearing about your Towpath lady.
We had another breaks at such as Walter.
You know, we've had to go to the car firms.
There's one in Jordan Street which let out a red Radley on
the evening of the 16th which was returned on the 18th.
The manager identified, clova out of a dozen photos with no
hesitation, none whatsoever and the model marquesa.
The first of the overhead valve job.
Well done, boys, that's it. Mr. Categories here to see you,
mr. Adam, thank you Doyle.
Shall I show him in guess? I'm always pleased to see a
solicitor and try and take that pain.
Look off your face. I hope my expression is
completely non-committal. On the contrary it leaves
little, doubt of your opinion of mr.
Casas. Go.
The gentleman in question is I will admit not the kind of
gentleman. I should choose to do business
with if there were any choice in the matter.
The man's offering me a brief. There are times when I fear that
commercialism has spread even to the bathroom, excuse me.
That Mr. Adams, good morning. You come in the morning to you,
mr. Adams, not a bad one.
Either have a chair. And what about some tea, hold
really recover. You can Plumb in the middle of
my own grave, and I'll be really recovered.
Thank you. Dom.
Cigarette. Thanks so much.
Never do we've all Gotta Die sometime.
That's what I say read the papers in this case as well.
Yes, I have. What is the verdict?
Well, we police evidence is pretty conclusive, even if it is
largely circumstantial. I have stood a chance before the
three of them talk to the police, but now that's how I
view when I saw Co Verizon lad, why didn't you keep your large
mouth? Shut.
Don't, you know, that 90% of you boys.
Talk yourself into prison. If he goes down, he can't blame
anybody, but himself and I wouldn't be betting on anything
this side of town. You know what?
I, yeah, I said to clever. As you look at the evidence, you
left lying, And why do you want to Betty?
Why didn't you invite the boys in blue along the watch?
Have we have the accused been able to help at all.
We didn't do it. They'd seen I said to them
right? You didn't do it.
Now give me some proven, it proof do versus, what kind of
proof proof you're getting do. Each other.
Yella t. Almost broke down on Whit cor
blimey. It's hot in here.
Do you mind if I take my coat off by all means, Milk and sugar
are prisons, sugar mustard. You like can't be too sweet for
me. You gotta die sometime.
No, thank you. Doyle What's wrong with you?
Nothing what people saying? Where was I Yes, I Rise into
these Beauties. Look voice.
You're in a tight spot. No mistake now.
Put your heads together. And tell me, how would you go
about proving you didn't do it? Green looks at entrant into
looks at Clover Clover says, but I think that's your job.
Did he indeed? It is true.
As I'm sitting here. Now, what do you do with men
like that? Well, have you any bright ideas?
I haven't been, I never do, I'm not clever.
My father said to me, rage me boy.
You haven't enough brains to be really dishonest.
You better become a solicitor. Also, the world of a father's, I
took his advice. Whenever I want something clever
done, I come running to one of you chips.
And here I am. Yeah, well, I'm afraid there for
it. If they don't produce a story
that holds water I'm big and Tears in my eyes, to tell him
the truth. The kind of truth that would
help us that he's did they not them born stupid?
I'd better see them. I suppose.
See Clover. That's why I've come to you.
He's a nice lad really. When you get to know him, come
up never conference with him and perhaps you'll get some ideas.
Of course, you can talk to the other two if you want to.
But you'll only end up wanting to knock their heads together.
I'll fix it up with your clock shall.
I? I'll meet you at the station and
take you to the prison. Are you mr.
Adams, I am. My name is John tesar, mr.
Cash goes, Chief Clark. Oh, isn't he telling up?
He's suffering from a slight cold.
And for fear, it might turn to bronchial.
Pneumonia is retired to bed, sir.
Sorry to hear it. Should we proceed to the prison?
The taxes of this way. Good morning, mr.
Clover hyah, I want to ask you some questions.
Got a fact. Yes, match.
Now, mr. Kevin to begin with, and space
up to one thing matters. Haven't been made any easier by
the statements. You enter them green of made to
the police. All the buggies - talk.
Oh, how I kept asking questions? I don't go for questions.
I might need mad who they make any promises or threats.
Threaten me, don't make me laugh.
Then why did you feel compelled to make any statement?
I just told you, he loves to do much.
Italian seafood, remain silent. I'll tell you, I couldn't quite
strands questions. All that time, stuff them down
their throats with my bare hands.
Yes. Well, you can't deny you
obtained, a car on the 16th, from a firm in Jordan street,
called hire a car, can you nah? It wasn't a red Radley.
Yeah, and the 17th did you and Harry?
And in fact, drive away from the house in which you are lodging
at about 1:00. Yeah.
Told the police you drop tent and when you reach the old
bridge and That you didn't see him again until you were on your
way, back from a pleasure drive at you, then met both ends and
and green, pick them up and all three of you return to your
house where you were seen to Embark at 3:16.
Yeah. And let's sort of statement is
going to play a hell of a jury. And as you fill it out, I want
to know why you went on the drive, where you went, and how
it happened that you met Hinton and green on your return and so
on. Are you, tell me what's best?
I can only use them until you give me a lie of try to tell me
what's pesticide Clover, any evidence brought.
How by me at the trial can only be evidence has given by you
stop. Give me that stuff.
You know, why you've been hard to get me off?
I'm ready to pay for that. When you, please listen, listen,
listen to me, cast outside, your price was high.
I thought in a square with me if you did what you was being paid
for now. Do it.
I feel it's time to point out that I am not a sack of
potatoes. Get wise to yourself.
Go, go. Here, I am.
We place could Bees and Honey on a some of you for nothing.
Listen mug, me, Tom and Harry. Did a sweet joy 15,000 years of
Smith and what happens along tells, snowbirds, get busy.
And say, where was your, what was your doing?
Who whose is that blood on your scalp?
Was the Fourth Man? Where's the 15,000?
And would we be good, boys, and tell themselves they could put
on the Power Z? I can try to see.
We don't spend too much time inside.
I told him nuts. I've allowed to wear this, I
just said I was going down for a long stay instead.
So what I'll tell Casco wanted one of you curly locks.
Hello guy somewhere in re I don't suppose you've ever heard
of the rules of conduct at the bar closer which ridiculous to
ask. You don't know any rules at all.
Let me try to explain something counsel are called upon to do
two things in a criminal trial, prosecute, and defend.
When we defend, we are either representing a guilty or an
innocent man if the prisoner States unequivocally that he is
guilty, Council. Cannot defend him on a plea of
not guilty which he knows to be false, but most he can Was to
carry out a plea in Mitigation Of Center your belly's.
Full a windfall, I don't have anything.
I can say, will have much effect, you injured, four men,
three of whom were policemen polish had artists for them.
If you wish to plead not guilty, you must get someone else to
defend. You kyouma.
Not pace have made the position. Clear pleasure.
Otto gasps calm wanted you for. Why?
Because you're the tops, although money, I'll pay for the
best. Like, always, I'm flattered.
But hardly converted. You got legs off makes he was a
Johnson makes Johnson had legs lift on women.
And he thought he was going down for a dose, but you got him off.
They said you was the top step of a fluke.
The indictment had been drawn up, wrongly, never got to call
it, don't make no difference. Kyle, go, YOLO boy for me.
Goodbye lover. Things seem more natural out
here, don't you think so mr. Jumper natural, didn't you give
the impression that Clover was a small packet of evil?
Now, I didn't I'm sorry things have turned out like this.
Got expanded this to can't go, I've had to drop the case won't
show. Yes.
I'm, I hope these codes and gets better.
I will. I'll earn it back to the
station. If I've got the time's right.
I can get a fast train in half an hour.
That's so good. Bye.
oh, What did you have lousy clean, not comfortable ever
traveling on the wall? Well, you said, we come back in
a quickly mood. I'm sorry apology, accepted,
come in and sit down and tell me why you've come back like a
bear. With a sore head.
The case went sour on me. Oh, no, right, sir, I saw this
man Clover, and if ever, I've seen a nasty piece of work, I've
forgotten the occasion. He thought you bought Council by
the yard. He seems to have left an
impression on you. What I can't understand is why I
didn't. Could tell me what about the
others were? There's bad.
I didn't see them. Calves, go insisted.
It was only worth speaking to Clover.
Do you think they did to the robbery?
Oh yes. How about boasted, how clever?
They were Frank anyway, you've missed the point since he told
me he did it. I can't defend him on a plea of
not guilty him, what's it matter?
What you told you in private, you're not going to pass it on,
knowing he's guilty, I'm not allowed to defend him.
So what happens? I've checked the case I see how
much is that. Lost us.
The brief hasn't been delivered yet.
I'm glad we are you started do so well that you can afford to
throw away money. It's the principle of the thing.
You can't eat principal try to understand Gwen.
I can't disregard a rule if not how I wanted to beside.
You haven't seen Clover or something.
Coming filthy about him more built-in, that man who defended
he was living off the earnings of half a dozen prostitutes.
There's Jane letter, in will you hug and start supper?
How was school? Tell me all about it.
He'll become trouble today. Same as usual, that offer food.
And it goes got a corn again. Why isn't the radio on?
Because we didn't want it. Daddy, you are funny.
Excuse me, mr. Farmer Heavens.
No, he hasn't been in Chambers all morning.
Hello. It's mrs.
Adams. Hello.
Grimm. What's the matter?
Can you hear me? What has I got it?
What telephone call? You haven't?
When what has happened? And then when I got it, I was to
contact you with say you won't talk to anyone.
Have you spoken to the school. Why didn't they kick with you
immediately? I'm coming back at once.
Anything more. Nothing.
So done here. It's my business.
What was the telephone message? I told you man or woman man.
What kind of a voice educated uneducated?
Cousin. Tom doesn't sound of the swine.
I can't happen. David.
Who can be? Did he say was going to ring
again? Hello.
What are you going to do? How can I delay him?
Or you always want to wait? This is one time you want to act
right away but we don't do, we know the facts talk sense.
Hello. Yes, so far.
Who are you? What do you say?
Be quiet. I must listen to him.
Hey Charlie, come for a walk around the block.
I'm here. I've got your daughter, nice
kid, and shit. The young may be for peace of
Joy but some people prefer them that way me.
I'm not particular. Yes.
Listen to God. Hears a bitch you get the boys
free and you will little girl comes back to your sweet as a
daisy. You don't get the boys off.
She won't never be the same. Listen to me, and another thing
that child's doing a few days. See, you don't get put off with
a little girl. I can't control the day of the
trial. you get them over that, so What is it?
Okay, / case. You must be the fourth man.
He's kidnapped gained forced me to get the others off, but you
said nothing. Could save them.
Yes. Then how can you get them off?
I can't. Then if it's impossible.
How can I expect her to no one that taught them to be logical?
What's going to happen to Jaime? If they're found guilty ready?
Imagination, use it. She's such a kid.
He's not Kid enough. You've got to get in touch with
the police. The man thinks of police
searches started. He's going to fix, genocide to
the police. Want the trial postponed.
And the men said that, if it is Jane will get her first working
over. Police won't find her quickly
enough to stop it to me. Nothing we can do, that's it.
Come to sit down and come to admit Jane's going to bed.
Not come then do something. What Isn't there a chance?
You could get the men off? Jodi on Earth could be stupid
enough not to convict. What are we good?
Good, I'll see clover. If it isn't a curly locks again
all the way from London over, I had to see you to try and
explain that. That's have some smokes cap on a
packet. A generous soon.
Oh a cute Gaga. You please listen.
You and me could become printing Pals.
You'd work on that, wouldn't you?
Oh, please stop. But also saw you in this room

I get an army turned out nothing but friendly.
You're the kind of person I like Cobra.
I want to tell you something, Daddy-o people don't know me.
And what? I don't know what calls me
clover, puffballs in blue calls. Be Clever, but you ain't no
place for a friend. Come here today, ready and
willing to be all friendly. He called me Georgie, same as
all my other friends, do I find Clover more natural?
I said, call me Georgie Tell me, you got a little girl, is going
to grow up into a nice hug and wish.
She'd be happier if you and me was Pals when she hears George.
Sounds better than it. Are you tell me your friendly
night? David.
Tell me David. Yeah, maybe wasn't as friendly
as we might have been last time. Was we are Wasn't going to
defend me on the others was yah. I'll guess you've come down a
day to apologize. To me and said that I'm nothing
you'd rather do than help me and the others as I progressed quite
quite good Daddy. I'll that really underway to
apologize for all the things you've said about me.
How about doing it proper? I'm sorry if I said anything to
upset you and I you're going to do everything, you can to help
me and the others. Yes.
Am I miao be Gaga? What sleep better tonight?
I'll be worrying myself inside wondering what I'd done to annoy
you so long as don't don't go yet.
I want to talk to you about Jen chai.
My daughter? I didn't know you had a
daughter. I'll bet she's just my couple
when she's old tart it up. I like some soft and with plenty
to cuddle. But she got a cuddled David's
up. I'll settle make you angry.
How many friends? I don't do nothing to Mark
friends but try and make them happy.
Please try and see reason look I'm defending you, but that
doesn't mean I can work miracles.
I can't do better for you than my best using Jane as a hostage
will only hinder me since I met at first.
She wasn't going to look after me and the boys so yes, but that
was. When are you going to do all?
You can. Yes.
Seems to me, you're little girls, make quite a difference.
Already, you've got what you wanted.
I'm defending you, although I shouldn't, but I can't alter the
evidence. I can't force the jury to vote
as I want them. All I can do is try and
influence them and knowing what may be happening to J.
Means I can't give up my best, I'm worrying myself sick, let
her go. I swear, I'll do everything I
can for you in court kosher, well, and makes friends.
Friends help each other. When you see, she's let go me.
What? Hello, how are you talking
about? I can't change the evidence, I
can't change the effort of. Yes, you defend us and get us
over because then we can stay friends.
Like we are now. They say, Nia.
I'll tell the boys are nice and friendly you've been.
And now, you'll be working on our side along.
Daddy has Well hopeless. Yep.
He wouldn't listen to anything. I said, Suppose I could see him
didn't I wouldn't let you near I know that he's built.
What does it matter what he is? It's getting with laughing at me
all the time. He was enjoying every moment
because he had me crawl into it. I'd crawl runs like was dizzy.
If I thought it would help Jane what makes you think?
I'm more important than your own daughter.
Got it all wrong. I've got nothing wrong.
I'm sorry, I just can't help it. Just leave me alone.
And entering was with me, but I dropped him earlier bridge and
went on provide and I came back. I saw Antonin, Tom Green.
Hudson is on the telephones inspiring him.
He wants to be a in the murder case they aren't ready and you
had them several days and when they first came they were marked
urgent. Haven't had the time.
You haven't been all that busy sir tell him the work isn't done
and they'll be lucky if they get it decided next year.
You'd better do the papers loves.
I've had enough to do with this robbery case.
I'm even more surprised you can find any work to do in that
case. I'd let you decided to handle
it. After all, what I do is my own
business sometimes, the good of the chamber's is of some I did
have a case with me but it was empty and I can't remember why I
had it with me with regard to the blood on my head, I cut
myself with my own razor while I was shaving.
David don't you stop long? After 12, you go to sleep.
My mind won't let me you take those sleeping pills.
I can't sleep without those things.
I'd rather stay awake. Stupid.
No more stupid. I'm going over and over those
notes cases tomorrow today. In fact, I still got time to
find some hint of false evidence David, what do you think now?
Same as before? When you have to call the
prisoners, I might be able to persuade the jury that there's
no case to answer them stories. They told the police won't come
out cause they will, the police will give them, but then how can
you hope to win? I can only hope to show.
They were so upset by the police that they didn't know what they
were saying. Why should they have been?
If they weren't guilty, I don't need you to underline the
difficulties. How do you think that's
cheating? It makes me choke.
I cut myself with my own razor when I was shaving.
So somehow some of the blood still got up.
I didn't go to work because it's fine there.
Yes, mr. Pride members of the jury, the
case you have to try today is one that has as you know, had a
great deal of publicity before anything else.
You must forget all that you have heard about it all that you
have read about it and judge solely by what you hear in this
court. Members of the jury.
The Quran says that the men in the dock the together with one
or more Persons. Unknown committed, a robbery
accompanied by a high degree of violence on the 17th of last
month. At about 2:00 on that afternoon,
mr. William brain, who acts as a
general messenger for a large engineering firms.
Went to the bank, to collect the money for the weekly wages of
the staff. Our atoms from Anna's on how
long's it going to take today's perhaps with matches.
That what we less? You got a job and a half, you
have to do any good for this bunch of thugs?
Yes. I think they've got previous
records. Five, good ones, and I'm
leaving. I'll send them down for a real
Stinger. The last time he was on second,
you need to start tell your sentences as if they were so
many. You sat in my case won't be
heard till Tuesday near positive effects.
On the outskirts. The would known as lovers.
Would she saw two cars? One of which she will identify
as a red Radley, more than that members of the jury, she will
identify it as the Mach 8 model. The first to be fitted with an
overhead valve engine. She saw three men walked towards
the Radley and drive away in the direction of wood horn.
Members of the jury, I will now call the evidence for the
prosecution. Mr. Kernan please.
Are you a cashier at the bank, on the corner of High Street and
Queen Street? I am.
Do you know, mr. William brain, yes.
Did you see him on the 17th of last month?
Yes, he came to the bank and draw a large sum of money as he
does. Each Thursday, do you remember
how much he drew on that occasion?
Fourteen thousand four hundred and twenty five pounds for sure.
He's what happened? He gave me the check.
I packed the money into his case like I always did and I gave it
back to him what happened? Then he kicked the chain to
himself and left. Thank you, mr.
Conan no questions. Mr. Brain mr.
Brain mr. Brain He's got brake mr.
Brain It's the Prague. Your witness doesn't seem to be
here. Milord the witness was, well,
aware of the date and time of the trial.
I am at a loss to account. For his absence, I take a
serious view of this course for Lord.
I think you'd better proceed with your case mr.
Pride, when the witness turns up we will inquire into the reasons
why he was unable to be here on time very well.
Milord mr. Pride sir, what is it?
This time. Mr. Pride milord, the Constable
has informed me that he understands from the wife of the
missing witness that her husband has disappeared disappear.
Yes. Milord it appears that he went
out early yesterday? The evening and has not
returned. This is ridiculous.
Will you take steps mr. Prior to see the police
inquiries are conducted with all possible, speed, certainly
below. Meanwhile, you are take a
continue with any of your witnesses that are available.
Yes. Milord Dr. Mortimer dr.
Mortimer, would you please describe mr.
Brains condition when you were summoned to him.
He had severe cuts and bruising and will serve suffering from
shock and concussion where you were able to form, any ideas as
to, what sort of weapon might have caused such injuries.
I can say no more on a blunt instrument, but he probably is
some form of cough where the injuries extensive not in area.
But in the nature by that, I mean it was clear that he had
been hit over and over again, dude.
Suggest anything to you? The injuries were consistent
with an attempt at killing? How long was that patient in
hospital? He was distraught after three
weeks. Thank you, Doctor, dr.
You suggested that the intention of those who attacked mr.
Brain was to kill that. He so and you estimate the
weapon used to have been in some form of Cosh.
Quite what, you're not think that if the attackers had really
meant to kill they would have used some other More Lethal
Weapon, no sir a cautious. Very effective.
Murder weapon when it is used scientifically.
That of course, is a matter of opinion.
Yes, but having twice, tried it effectively to save the lives of
other men battered by cautious. I think my opinion rests on
fairly substantial grounds That's all.
Thank you. What were you doing?
On the afternoon of the 17th? I was walking.
Billy my dog along the riverbank I can't say, we were making much
progress because blue is so interested in the Rat Hole while
you were there. Did you notice anything strange
at one point in my Wok? I look towards dines would for
that is I believe popularly known as lovers would the name
on the ordinance said, in at is dines, would I told there are
two cars, 3 Min walk from DEC 14, 2013 4, a half way across
when one of them turned back into a bundle of something into
the back, then he joined the others and they all got into the
second card and drove off in the direction of wood horn.
Can you tell us what make of car?
This second one was either the red.
We had little first model to be brought out with the overhead
valve engine. That is, I believe the Mark 8
model. I don't know what number has
been given Miss Weston. For someone who had no reason to
take particular. Notice of what was happening.
You seem to have observed, a great deal on.
The contrary had, I known I was watching something of
importance. I do paid a great deal more
attention. Hey, well, I want now to deal
with your description of the red car.
You saw you say it was the first of the Bradley's to be equipped
with the overhead valve engine. Yeah, I think so, you claim not
only to be able to tell the make up a car at a distance but also
what model it was in this particular case Yes, don't
forgive my saying this but it's rather an extraordinary claim
for you to make. I've been interested in cars
from the day. My father bought me one, would
you claim to recognize on-site all cars on the roads today?
Certainly not cool set of the impossible.
But I gathered from what you said, previously that you were
claiming to be able to do the impossible, the witness
suggested nothing of the sort. As your lordship pleases and
will not have witnesses. Miss quoted at expressly or by
implication. Miss Western, you will have just
admitted. You cannot tell the model of
every make of car. I have then how is it?
You were able to do so, with this car, I knew the difference
is between circles, the radiator drill very fortunate, isn't it?
Could you have done the same with any other make of English
car? Could you have said which model
had, which engine, unless certain enough, what a fortunate
coincidence. That when it was important to be
able to identify a car, as closely as you claim to have
been able to do the card in question, should be the one
make. You could identify mr.
Adam. The witness has testified under
oath that you can tell the difference between certain of
the models of this particular car.
Unless you can prove to the country, you are not entitled to
try to infer that she is. Not telling the truth, the
Laura, I'm surely entitled to try to show that what the
witness claims is most unlikely. I have already explained to you
mr. Adams, what you are and what you
are not allowed to do? Well, Laura, I must insist the
council. Do not insist in mycourses,
Evan, How far from the Cars where you Miss Weston?
I would estimate about 300 yards.
Is it not possible that at this distance.
One car Grille looks very like another in this particular
instance, I think not, but it could happen.
I should imagine that much would depend on one side site is yours
at all. At fault.
I have never found it to be. You will not allow that there is
a possibility you have made a mistake.
I think not. Thank you, Miss Weston.
It was quite enough for one day, Charming, these changing rooms,
aren't they? They couldn't make them Bleaker
if they tried. You still reckon to get them off
David. I suppose.
I shouldn't say so to Prosecuting counsel but I don't
think I got a hope Tom. Thing, that shakes means that
you've ever thought you would funny business about brain
disappearing, wasn't it? Yes, I had to work with the
police just now and I'm surprised he decided to do a
Vanishing trick know why. Apparently, they've been
thinking for some time that brain might have been in on the
robbery. Have they indeed?
Yes, they reckon. He told, Clover all the details
of the money he would be drawing and and also the best place to
attack him then. Why was he so badly knocked
about clever? Probably decided he wanted all.
Money for himself and the others wasn't going to run the risk of
having brain talk Under Pressure, I'll see you Monday.
Well what happened? The case is only half over not
finished. I got to wait for tomorrow.
Monday record doesn't sit during the weekend Monday but Jo wait
till the end of the trial, they only threatened to active the
trial were postponed, not a bit stressed out over a weekend.
Let's have a drink. David are you going to get them
off? I don't know.
You've got to did you try of course?
Why haven't you? I just told you the trial hasn't
finished. Is the prosecution cases, strong
one, family, but not impossible. No.
Will they keep their promise in that dream go when you get them
off? Of course.
I'll have to sit here all day. Thinking about James.
It's best to concentrate on something else.
Fathers, don't usually care about their children, you don't
do you. I mind every bit as much as you
do. Is the prosecution case.
Strong stop asking me the same questions over and over again.
I'm sorry. You are going to win, aren't
you? Yes.
Baba late darling. You thank you.
There's a long report of the trial in the morning paper truly
you lied to me. What do you mean?
You didn't do any good at all? I've been reading your
cross-examination. I was never much good at that
good. That's a fine word to use your
daughter's life. Depends on you and you're still
a failure. Tried great doesn't read like
it. You can't go by newspaper
reports. The only thing we've ever been
any good at is making excuses. Did you fight at all?
Did my best to do? Read the bit, where it says, how
the judge told. Shut up and you took it like a
lamb. What else could I do?
Is he more important than your daughter?
Is he? Oh, what am I married?
I'm going out David. No, David honor.
I didn't mean it. I don't know what I'm say.
David come back. This is brain.
Yes, I'm looking for your husband.
I don't know where he is. I thought you might be able to
help me find her. I haven't seen him.
Haven't you any idea where he's gone?
He went out the night before last and never come back, and he
been in touch with you at all. Not a word, haven't the police
found Nothing. You're not the police know who
are you counsel for the defense of this come in?
You're a gangsta police suppose you could put it that way.
I swear you are lying to me. Don't you recognize me.
You must have seen me when you came into court.
I didn't see no one do you swear.
You're working for the prisoners.
I swear I am what near off my head with worry.
I don't know what to do, where to go.
Bill's, been a different man just recently never seen one.
No one so nervous Xiao to swear to me.
That that's something he's never done before.
This is since he got hurt. Yes.
But you were so terrible afraid as well.
And he wouldn't say what was wrong though?
I tried to get him to tell me, but he wouldn't, and then this
Thursday night, he couldn't stand it.
No more, terrible danger. He was in.
He said, he got to hide whatever happened.
He wasn't turning up in that Court.
He was going to stay with daughter.
That's my daughter. And on my life, I wasn't a let
on to anyone. Where does your daughter live
pen wrote? What time is?
Well, it's the next Road along. But having the police checked,
though, I told them my daughter lives in London.
She did till the end of last year.
What's her name? Ash, this is Ash.
Go and see him find out what the trouble is.
And if there is an ending, I couldn't do, we may listen to
use. I'll do what I can always been
bad again. The last few days, I tried to
get him to see the doctor. I wish he'd never Well, thank
you for telling me what's happening wanting to speak to
someone but everyone was against me.
These neighbors, do you down? If they can, what's the number
of your daughter's house? Send you can't miss it.
Not with its blue windows and doors.
Yes, your mother mrs. Bream.
So just did I came here? Well I it to see if I could have
a word with your father. We're dead.
Who told you I was here. She did.
I may be able to help him get out most, by getting them out of
this house. This mum think I have enough to
do who asked him. That's what I want to know.
I'm afraid IMA still be ill after that beating up from the
bank robberies, whiny, and his own house.
Then you'll you're probably helping them a lot by having him
here. Do you think I could see him?
You'll do just that. Tell him from me, I'll be good.
If he'll say when he reckons the move which room is he in first
landing on the right? Thank you.
If you tried to tell you, anytime great elements got two
white same as the rest of us. Why haven't you?
Who are you? Don't be afraid.
I'm not the police. I've just seen your wife.
She is just did. I shouldn't come here and talk
to you. You are the police.
I'm not I'm counsel for the defense in the bank case.
I'm trying to get Clover and the others off.
I've come to you because I want to hear the true story.
I don't know nothing. I suppose you realize that by
now. The police think you were in on
the robbery Crew not that they can prove anything as yes.
I tell you this though. If Clover, unco, get sent down
and they're pretty near they'll take everyone else they can with
them. So if you can tell me anything
to help get them off our short, Believe me, it'll pay you.
It was all clovers full. He talked me into it.
I didn't have to do anything to do with it.
Honest, I didn't thousand pounds.
He said, just to give a little help.
What I had to do was take a light tap on the edge just to
show up, wasn't even anything worth thousands and lot of
money. How?
Right? You are seems like yeah, have
some water. Seems to work out.
Nice to we was inside the police caught him, then Clover started
hitting me with a cross. I shouted at him, not do it.
So while, but he laughed and went on me to me, like he was
mad in the swine linked to kill me.
He nearly succeeded, who did me proud with the police?
Worried me, sick, I'll keep telling him out, didn't do
nothing. Then I drag me in Should the
Police Court? Laura time I was giving evidence
Clover was looking at me, any definition me off, then if he
could hit done and then they go messages through about what they
do to me if I miss things up in front of the judge.
So our scope and if that one knows where I am, they can't
keep nothing from me. I see why should Clover talk.
If he and the others are found guilty, it ain't fair.
I ain't done nothing to give them away.
Way. And killing me think they tell
me. There were four men in the
robbery went there. Yes.
Who was the four of you must never seen the others.
Only closed till we was holding a card together and I didn't see
much of them. Don't you know his name wasn't
he ever addressed by a Christian name or a nickname?
Well I don't know. Nothing of declare was dirty too
makes getting worse. Which is you someone was
squeezing it in a vice. Have you seen a doctor?
No it seems. I was saying back from hospital
and you must call in one. Now I can see no one.
How long have you been getting these heads ever?
Since we always went back on me, how do you mean keep seeing two
of everything? Mr. Brian I'm going to tell your
daughter that she ought to call somebody in right away.
I can you ain't seeing no one. I don't want people here.
Don't you see anybody? Well, what do you say?
This is Ash. Your father is very ill, so he
keeps telling everyone ought to call in a doctor right away.
You can say mr. Brain, is your husband's father
or something like that to stop his identity coming out.
What's dad? Got to say about it but he
doesn't want to see anyone. I mean after me, this is Ash, I
think the way of Well. I'm sorry to have troubled, you
perhaps one day you'll be in yourself.
Or the jacket. Thank you.
Sit down, she ain't doing any good agreed.
Your daughter won't be. No good to look at if we get
sent down, I'm not forgetting. Why don't you do something such
as hard on how I'd been tighter? To the thinking?
Not even you Clover. Can run round facts.
You gotta do something. There's no open is solid enough
times. I'll make my record dirty and
I'll just one Pat me on the back and tell me not to do it again.
Mr. Justice leaving will be pleased to award you.
The maximum sentence. He This will go unchallenged in
the higher court or War rabbit dammit frog.
Count onion your money and do something.
What do you suggest? Now.
Look here. Have you a memory course?
I have. If I give you something to
memorize, will you do it? Why should I, I thought you
wanted to go free. Get me off and I'll learn the
old Bible by heart, right? Have you, a friend outside?
All stick to his story that he's paid enough.
I'll give you a list of people. It's whether our mother-daughter
Oprah come under will end him and green back you up that.
Do what? I tell him very well.
We have one chance. What on Monday?
You'll confess to armed robbery Another loss thought you're mad.
I'm confessin Jeremy, your daughter will get her.
Some telling us you'll get us. Not if you confess now keep
quiet and listen carefully one slip from either of his in court
tomorrow and the balloon goes up, this is what you're going to
say. Truth and nothing but the truth.
Is your name, George, Michael, Provo, and have you recently
been living at five age and our street?
Yes, I am. And I'm employed by mr.
Pointer, who runs a market guard?
That's right. There's the clever.
I want to start my examination by taking you back in time to
the period when you boarded with a mr.
And mrs. Younger at 25 risdon Crescent.
Do you know how long precisely you boarded at 25 resident
resident? I certainly wasn't a long time.
Should have said, so, Did you at any time while you were there
obtained? By any means whatsoever.
A handkerchief. That was not your now.
I didn't, how can you be so certain on?
Never had anger chips, the one cocky on cheek from the surplus
store. So if at any time you found
yourself in possession of a white handkerchief, you would
know that it was not yours. It's right.
There are no white ones, suppose you found that you had a white
one in your position. What would you do with it?
Try and find out who it belonged to and give it back.
Let's move on in time I want now to deal with the days between
and including the 16th and 18th of last month.
Did you on the 16th hire a car from The Firm hire, a car who
have their offices in Jordan? Street are dead?
Will you tell the court please? Why you hired this car wanted to
go for try? The next day was there?
No other purpose, what should it be?
Let us now move on to the 17th. Did you go to work on that day
now? Why not?
And that a day off in months and the old holder .0.
Don't never tell you that. I have a bit of time off so if
you want to break out to take it, you wanted a free day
because you had been working so hard.
My lord The Prisoner did not say that.
I apologize. Mr. Clover.
Why did you want this day off? Law was set up in working so
hard. I wanted to brighten Rod.
This car goes around for a drive at what time.
Did you leave in the car? On the 17th?
I must have been about 1:00. We're you alone on the pal.
Larry engine was along with me. I took him a little wide
Watertown and, and drop him by the old bridge.
It was what happened after that? I went for a drive, well, and
the country. Did you go anywhere in
particular, just wanted to drive.
I didn't care where I went. Have you any idea?
What are you return? Sometime after 3:00.
All right, back to town and I was pushing the pub when I see
Tom and Jerry, I stops to talk to him and I guess in the car
and we all go back to my place for a beer or two.
Well, any of you carrying a suitcase on your return to your
lodgings. I was a boy it because I wanted
some in Logan. I saw this one going cheap.
What happened after that? Are we had a beer or two?
Like I said, don't ask me how many because I don't remember
you seem to have had a relatively quiet day they did.
Mr. Globe. AB when the police arrested you
because they believed you were connected with the robbery.
They searched it and found blood on your scalp.
They asked you how it came there.
And you said the blood was yours, right?
You know, of course, that your own blood is group a and that
the blood found was Grupo. So that in fact, it could not
have come from you. If it was not yours, whose was
it honest? I'll Allah straight.
It's a real mystery to me. I thought I cut myself.
Shaving, thank you. Yes, mr.
Prime, if someone bleeds in your presence and some of that blood,
and here's to you, would you not expect to know how when and why?
But wouldn't you what? I told you.
I don't know how it got there. Can you produce an acquaintance
of yours who will go into the witness box and testify that he
or she had been injured in your presence and that some of his or
her blood could have come in contact with you.
I'll keep telling you, I don't know how I got there.
Are you really asking the jury to believe that West ruin it?
I think perhaps we should move up.
Tell the jury please, as accurately as possible.
How many times in an average year, you hire a car for the
purpose of a pleasure drive, not very often.
Would you claim it was often as a dozen times three times two
times or is it the truth that this is the first occasion on
which you have ever hired a car? Yes, sir.
This is the first time Would you tell me why you decided to hire
a car? I wanted to go out and see the
country. Would you care to try and
explain how it was? You had this sudden and unique
desire to go forth and enjoy the pleasures of nature because I
want it to you. Felt you had to get into the
open and enjoy the sunshine. What's so funny about?
I thought you worked in the open in a Market Garden hot.
I told her what happened. You will control yourself.
When did you go along to hire a car and book, this car?
I don't remember. Would you dispute that it was on
the 1st of last month if you say.
So when you booked this car on the first, how were you able to
be? So certain in are extremely
changeable climate that it would be fine and sunny on the 17th?
I didn't say I was I thought you just agreed that the main reason
for your drive was to get out into the countryside and enjoy
the sunshine. What would have happened if it
had been raining on the 17th? You have said that you left the
house at about 1:00 in the afternoon.
That's right. And you returned not long after
three. Yeah, he went away a very long,
did you not enjoy your drive through the countryside as much
as you'd hoped Why were you away for so short?
A period. Very well.
You enjoy the car Journey that took about two hours.
Will you tell the jury where you went In the country and that
unfortunately covers a large area.
What I want to hear from you is whether you went north or south
east or west where you drove through out the two hours or
whether you stopped anywhere, and if so when and for how long
hi are going to answer. Why not?
Hi, I'm gonna do myself in. Did you in fact, go anywhere
near the country or told you, I'd say, then answer the
question, where abouts did you go?
I say you will answer the question.
I can't see myself down. What are you talking about?
It would seem a lot that the accused is refusing to answer
the question because he believes he will criminate himself.
It is quite ridiculous, mr. Adams, you must be aware that a
prisoner giving evidence in his own trial has absolutely no
privilege against criminate in him.
So, there's three accusation, I know that my Lord, but does the
prisoner, you will answer? The question, learning Council
has put deal. I went to standard and what were
you doing there between 130 and 245?
Allowing that the journey from here to there, takes half an
hour. I was trying to rob a bloke
called mcmansion. You say you were trying to rob a
man called but Minton who lives in the town of Stanton on
Thursday the 17th of last month at sometime between 1 and 3 16.
Yeah. These get the caught the full
details. Why are talking your semi down
for it, by a fortunate turn of events in so far as you are
concerned over whatever evidence you.
Now, give us to this attempted robbery set evidence, may not
again be used in any court because I forced you to give
such evidence and you did not volunteer it. but most simply if
this second robbery proves, the fact there is no one who can
charge you with it on the evidence, you know, give You
come to me for it. The law cannot accuse you of the
evidence of your admission as a bit of.
All right? You will.
Kindly refrain from any comment. It's the pride.
We must Endeavor to discover the validity or otherwise of the
story, of course, my Lord. I think it would be more to the
point if perhaps a little exceptional, if mr.
Adams continued, as they're conducting a further examination
in Chief that will give you mr. Pie, the opportunity to
cross-examine fervor Will you tell the court in your own
words? What actually happened on the
afternoon in question. I was like this, see I know of
an easy touch its standard and I'll kill the word always has
plenty of money around. He didn't pay into the bank,
until Saturday, I've got a colleague out and do the job.
When you originally hired, the car, you were, then
contemplating a robbery or not. The one that landed me here, or
going to cost, seein that time. 1:00, just like the old girls
set, very handsome was with me at first, but caught him over
the old bridge and Carries On because I was doing the job and
Beyonce, Joyce at the Stanton, cases are grocery shop, and
right? No.
One else inside our goes in and starts to have a world of the
old killed earlier. The older Scotsman Menton.
Have you any idea what time this was?
I don't know. It's like I started done some
talking but I don't remember what it was all about.
You entered, the Grocer's shop. What then Aliyah place was empty
except the old man. Come on.
I says let's have a look at the money and take some nice number
of kush has helped me pocket. Restarts are your blue murder.
So I tap someone who makes his head bleed and he fights like he
was straight out of the corner or get scared.
Grab the suitcase was never till stuff.
Some money from the till enemy pocket and Scott is before, the
flat is get around to ask me what I'd like to eat them at
dinner and what them Goes back, quick fix her parents home.
Like, I told you Bill goes back to my room for drinks.
My, like, Donna has a look to see what I've picked up and what
had you succeeded in stealing six Quinn.
A few old clothes, but we're crossing the street for.
What did you do with the Clothing Vernon along with a
suitcase? It's the pride.
I hope you will agree with me that the circumstances being
what they are. We should Endeavor to ascertain.
What proof, If any exists of the accused story before we
continue, I do. So agree, Malone.
The best course in my opinion is to ask the police to ascertain,
whether any complaint was made to them in Stanton, on the day
in question, and to interview mr.
McMahon, to be quite serve Lord. If this letter, gentlemen,
offers the slightest corroboration of clover store,
Then we must request that he be brought here so that we may
question him. Yes, hello.
That being so happy. Are we mr.
Jared. What is this disturbing for the
back of the Court alone? This man says his name is my
mentor and he's the owner of the grocery store.
Ask him to come forward to the witness box, please.
Can you help us? Mr. McMinn to.
And I will be my Lord that it will take me out please after
that. Mr. Adams will examine you.
I swear by almighty God, that the evidence, I shall give to
this court will be the truth. The whole truth and nothing but
the truth. The stomach mentum did anything
out of the ordinary happened to you last month at dead.
Indeed, I owned a grocery business in Stanton didn't do
too badly, one way. And another I was in year 1 D.
Tell us please which day this was it was a charity.
The 17th of last month. Please Continuum, well, I was
waiting around it was a slack time of day and in came a chat.
I thought he was a customer but he brought a car wash out and
told me to hand over the money. How did you react?
I yelled for help. He didn't take kindly to that
and give me a snack on the head. Things were all blood after that
but when my head stops ringing, huh, I find he's gone off with a
suitcase, full of clothes and got ready for the church mission

Thank you, mr. McMahon phone.

Three years ago, I was robbed at eight pounds, 10 Shillings, and
Sixpence, the beak. Take one day, push it up to
quarter sessions three days in all.
But all the time I had to hire someone to look after the shop
that cost me a fiver and he helped himself to groceries as
well. Something like ten quid down, I
was for reporting the loss of each never.
Again, I said next time you keep your mouth shut unless they Just

You are here in court. Today, I read about the case in
the papers, so a photo group called coover and wondered.
If it was the same boy, you identified, clovers the man who
attacked you I do. And I don't kind of a more
explicit. I think it's him but you know
how a thing like this happens all over before you know it
started and you're not certain of anything.
I reckon it was him. All right?
But I wouldn't like to say it to it.
How have you been able to leave your shop today?
Oh, the wife is looking after it.
Why couldn't she have done so after the first property she was
a wee on holiday has to have a holiday, she does.
So she gets all nervous when you read a robbery which took place
on the 17th of thought, you might be able to identify
server. Why didn't you inform the police
of what you knew? It didn't seem to me to matter
which table nailed him on all one.
In the same. I said to myself and if he's
gone down for one job, The other.

They gave you a while since doing it.

down the line for life. I forget what you said.
When I first asked you for help the rules that don't mean
nothing to you. You I kept the rules.

you? The first time I thought you
hated my guts, he was having to tell me to take a walk across a

Thank you very much. I want to see someone who is
humble enough to be proper grateful.
So, I'll go go. Excuse me, sir.
Yes, the judge asked me to speak to you.
He wonders if you'd be kind enough to go along and see you
now. Yes, please.
How did? I believe you wanted to see me
judge, yes. William asked them to be kind
enough to have a car ready in 5 minutes.
Yes. Mr. Evans.
For a great number of years, I have been very proud of the fact
that I was first, a member of the English, by the end of the
English bench. I have believed both the bench
and the bar to be without Peril elsewhere in the world because
of the sense of honour and devotion with which members of
them carry out their duties. Today, it has been my Misfortune
to discover the country to all I have hitherto believed, not
every member of the bar is so jealous of the reputation he and
his profession enjoy. I don't quite understand.
You judge from time immemorial mr.
Adams, Consul of been in a position of trust, in which did
they? So wish they could pervert, the
course of Justice, A sense of honesty and faith has always in
the past, made it quite unnecessary to guard against any
abuse of this position. Today you have shown me that we
can no longer rely purely on a sense of Honor.
Are you suggesting the free menu of just been tried, but guilty
of the offense for which they were charged.
And would normally, if I now have received heavy, sentence
has been prison meant that they were not, is because they were
able to buy your advice. That's not true.
The course of the conduct of your case, must change between
Friday and today the way in which the false evidence was
given today, clearly made certain that the prisoners would
go free. Yet would be unable to be
charged with any other offense. Your advice was first cast, mr.
Adams, but I shall make it my duty to see that, no matter how
much you were paid for it. You will think it dearly
beloved, You make of mr. Adams.
Well. I got them off, steady.
They've promised to send Jane back safely.
We're him as soon as possible. Oh, did, how did you do it by
talking? It was a medical.
I'd hardly call it that. It was a failure.
David, how long can one be the judge called for me afterwards
to congratulate you to tell me? I was the first Judas at the
bar. Do you think that ephedrine
properly? Have a drink.
Thank you. She has to watch her dad or she
gets those spots. Oh, girls get spots at her age.
Shouldn't she be here now? I don't know.
They are releasing her tonight, aren't they?
I hope so. What do you mean?
Why didn't you make certain? When I've done everything I can,
and I've just about had it, we've simply got to be patient.
She'll come. 9:30.
She's not coming this evening, if you don't know where she's
coming from, if they kept her out of London, it'll take some
time for her to get here. You told me, you thought they
had it in London? Not what I said.
Yes, you did. Why are you denying it now?
Do you know something of hiding from me?
Nothing. Have you been lying to me all
this time? So do you?
Swear you haven't Snapchat.
She always knock three times, come and see.
Hello, I'm hungry. Oh, what's in the fridge?
Why is it still broken down dripping?
Did they treat you? All right.
Oh not bad. It was better than school but
there wasn't enough to eat. I tell you, I'm hungry.

Splits inspector, you can't be your unofficial visit now.
Can you I wouldn't be certain exactly how to describe it.
I'm not sure. You've even got the right to be
here. I shouldn't worry about that.
Aspect of things who are shit a pushover away.

for the money, not primarily and watch, I'm still interested.
The boys who did it lazy's menus coming?
Here is it know these boys are in the clear there, isn't anyone
who can touch them? Why not?
They've been tried in a journey of honest men and women found
him. Not guilty.
I'm not a clever lawyer but I do know a little about the law.
Obviously, from the way you got this lot of Inspector, you've
got to leave the boys alone. Take them to court again and
what happens? So you're the prosecuting
broken. You want to charge these boys
with the bank job, right? Right, right.
I'm defending Castle. I Rise to my feet like this.
Now my Lord, I say very respectfully and bow.
A little to show me feelings for the judge.
My Lord, I plead out. Rifai key.
What's that mean? Quit it already, probably.
Shut up. The boys, I say have already
been tried for this offense and found not Guilty and under are
very fine system of law and no man-made twice.
Be put in Peril for the same offense, the judge turns and
addresses you mr. Inspector.
He says, The Plea is otra for a key.
How do you say to that? All dear, you say, I save that
you allowed for Everything, But A desperate cancel ready to
gamble. I say that Adam spoke to brain
and from what he saw, he was ready to gamble that.
Brain wouldn't live very long. Brain?
Didn't he died yesterday? And the post-mortems shows he
suffered from an abscess of the brain due to an infected clot of
blood. The result of the head injuries
received during the bank robbery, it doesn't matter.
