Just a minute.

- It's for you, Pete. It's the district attorney. | Oh, thank you.

Moralas.

Yes, I did, Mr. Simmons.

Did you get the information I radioed in?

Well, that's all there is, sir. | No, no clothes. No jewelry, nothing.

Just the bones.

What laboratory?

Oh, I see.

No, I haven't.

Right.

Yes, sir. Goodbye.

How do you think he was murdered, | lieutenant?

Who said it was murder? | And who said it was a he?

Thanks.

Harvard.

Well, this certainly isn't it.

Pardon me, fellas. Which way | to the Department of Legal Medicine?

I guess you want the law school.

Go out the main gate, | then turn right a couple of blocks.

Thanks. Back to the main gate. | That's where we started.

Pardon me. Could you tell me where | the Department of Legal Medicine is?

- Oh, that's in the medical school. | - Far from here?

It's about five miles, over in Roxbury.

I understand you have something | to show me.

Yes, I have. This is Detective Sharkey.

And this is all you've got to go on.

Uh-huh.

What are the facts?

Identification, none.

Fingerprints, none. Weapon, none.

We don't know if it's a man or woman, | suicide, murder, accident, or natural causes.

What about a starting point? | Where was it found?

I'm sorry. At a place called | Lakeman's Hollow. It is all we know.

"Two p. m., September 6th, the bones | of this unidentified person or persons...

...were found in the low bushes, | 100 yards north of Lakeman's Hollow...

Barnstable. Right here... | Massachusetts. "

That was an out-of-state case. | Jackson affair. Heard of it?

No. | - Interesting case.

Husband and wife in a violent quarrel, | neighbors heard it.

Woman found dead on the kitchen floor | in a puddle of blood.

Did they nail him?

McADOO:
He was walking out of the house | and out on her.

She wrecked the room in a rage of jealousy. | He was convicted of second-degree murder.
