Black Angel Page #2

Yeah, one who overlooked

five grand in cash

and a mink coat.

All he took

was a heart-shaped brooch...

and a woman's life.

You won't even try

to find it?

We'll try.

Maybe there was

such a brooch.

Maybe you took it yourself

after you strangled her.

You can keep this up all night,

but you'll only get one answer.

I didn't kill her.

Somebody did.

You better

sleep on it, Bennett.

We're holding you for

the murder of Mavis Marlowe.

If only I could

do something.

You've done all you could, darling.

You've been wonderful.

Especially after...

Please, Kirk.

You're my husband.

I'll always stand by you.

You know that.

The jury... they did seem

to believe you, didn't they?

I'm not so sure.

Well, the foreman

seemed for us.

He'll win the others over.

I'm sure. Even if they...

[Man]

Jury's coming in.

They really had it in

for him that time.

Yes, it was a tight corner.

Yes. He just keeps up

those easy cases.

[Murmuring]

Give me

the city desk.

Clancy?

This is Kelly.

City desk.

Bennett's guilty.

The jury just brought in

the verdict... guilty.

I know how you feel.

Believe me, we've

checked everything.

You've overlooked something

because Kirk didn't kill

Mavis Marlowe.

You've got

to keep trying!

We're three months behind

on unsolved homicides now.

You know, Mrs. Bennett, you'd think

the people in this town...

would have something better

to do than figuring out ways

to get rid of each other.

The whole thing may seem

very humorous to you...

I'm sorry. Your husband's

been convicted.

The case is closed...

out of my hands.

And unless new evidence is discovered,

it's going to stay closed.

Thank you.

Hello? Uh, I've been trying

to get some information...

about a woman

who used to do extra work.

They told me that you

might be able to help me.

[Man]

That Mavis Marlowe

was plain poison.

[Woman #1]

You're telling me?

Treated that poor

Marty Blair like dirt,

and after he wrote

that beautiful song for her.

[Woman #1] "'Heartbreak. '"

[Woman #2] The dope

married her, didn't he?

You know what I said

to myself when I heard

she'd been cooled off?

I said to myself,

"'Marty Blair finally

caught up with her...

and wrung her neck!"

Pardon me, but l-I couldn't

help overhearing.

That's all right, honey.

Sit down.

Thank you.

You see,

I'm Mrs. Kirk Bennett,

and I heard you

talking about a man

named Marty Blair.

Do you know

where I could find him?

Look, I got to get back

on the set!

Me too.

Oh! Oh!

Stuck.

[Woman #1 Grunting]

You really want to know

where you can find Marty Blair?

Oh, please... so very much!

Well,

you might try Al's Place

on Iris Way, near Western.

If he's there, you can tell him
