Beyond a Reasonable Doubt Page #3

that I have been trying for years

To have this law

on capital punishment changed.

Of course, we might be

criticized for the way we do it,

But that wouldn't

bother me

If we accomplish

something.

How can we be sure

the police have no suspects?

Mmm.

That's easy.

[Ring]

Charlie Miller.

Uh, yes, sir.

Just a moment.

Yes. The Patty Gray case.

Lieutenant Kennedy's

handling it.

Looks like a good story.

Do you think

you can find out

What they really

have on it, if anything?

I think so, but Kennedy

may want it off the record for the time being.

That's all right.

We'll cooperate.

But I want to know,

step by step, what they're doing.

Yes, sir.

If they haven't

got a suspect,

We'll give them one.

We've got 50 suspects.

That gal kept pretty busy.

Guy at the stage door

couldn't keep track of them.

Huh.

Any prospects

among them?

Ah, doesn't look

too good.

We've got a few descriptions

we're checking out now.

The only thing

we really know

Is that she lived alone

at a rooming house.

Strange thing

about that.

Why?

Well, after

her body was found,

We went over her room.

It obviously

had been ransacked.

We couldn't

find a thing.

No letters,

no papers,

No address book,

No fingerprints.

Nothing.

Those girls from the club

are here, lieutenant.

Send in...

Joan Williams first.

Miss Williams.

Sit down,

Miss Williams.

According to this,

At one time you lived

with Patty Gray.

Is that correct?

For a little while.

You two were

pretty good friends.

I hardly knew her.

Then how did you come

to be living with her?

When I, uh, came to town

to work at the club

A few weeks ago,

I didn't have

anyplace to stay.

Patty offered to let me

live with her

If paid her $15 a week.

I think she needed

the money.

I understand

that you moved out

A few days

before she was murdered.

Why?

You two have a fight?

Oh, no.

She just came home

one night

And told me to get out,

just like that,

For no reason.

I thought she needed

the money.

That's what I thought,

too.

And I asked her

about it.

But she just laughed

And said she didn't need

my, uh, uh...

My lousy 15 bucks

anymore.

She had an awful lot

of money with her that night.

Did she, uh...

Did she say

where she got it?

She didn't say anything.

Just told me to get out.

Is there anything

you can tell me

That might help us

find out who murdered her?

Aw, gee, I wish I could,

But I'm afraid

I can't help.

Like I say,

I only been here a couple of weeks.

This is only

my first job.

Thank you for coming in,

Miss Williams.

[Presses intercom button]

Send in those

two other girls.

What do you

want with us?

Well, I'd like

to ask you girls a few questions.
