something about this kidnapping.

I got it on the highest authority

that they arrested...

...one of that kidnapping gang.

- You don't say.

He tried to escape,

but they captured him all right.

- Oh, I'll have three of those.

- Oh, come on.

- And a pound of prunes.

- What's his name?

- Who was he?

- What else?

Well, I can't tell you any more. It was

told me in the strictest confidence.

Fanny, that isn't fair.

Please. Come on.

But, darling, you know

I'm as silent as a tomb.

But are you sure he's not innocent?

My dear young woman,

in this country...

...people don't land in jail

unless they're guilty.

My wife's sister called up and told her

that a friend of hers told her...

...that this guy acted

as cocky as a bronco.

All he'd answer was,

"Let me phone my lawyer."

Sure. That's the racket

of those bigtime attorneys.

Helping these skunks beat the law.

Well, they won't beat it

with any jury I'm ever on.

If all us people had the courage

of our convictions...

...these vermin would vanish

like spit on a hot stove.

Set them up for the boys, Oscar.

Four beers.

Last time after you played

that slot machine...

...it was full of telephone slugs.

Now, ain't that a shame.

Say, Dawson...

...I hear they gave that guy

your favorite cell at the jail.

Next time I'm in,

it'll be for beating you up.

All right, big shot.

While I didn't vote

for Hummel for sheriff...

...his promptness in catching

this kidnapper is commendable.

They can't bring him to trial

any too quickly to suit me.

- If you don't mind.

- Well, excuse me for living.

- Mr. Pippen.

- Hello, George.

- I have some fine, new English flannel.

- Later, Durkin.

- Yes, as you wish.

- My usual, Oscar.

We were discussing down

at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon...

We were discussing at the luncheon

about what a great publicity break...

What a great publicity break

our capturing this Chicago fellow...

...is gonna give our little city, assuming

of course the citizens, leading citizens...

See that he's brought to justice.

We'll take care of that,

all right, all right.

We'll go to the sheriff,

get it from him.

Boys, that's a great idea.

I'll go with you.

Hey! Hey, jailer.

- Has the sheriff phoned my brothers yet?

- I don't know.

But you'll hear something

one way or the other in due time.

I'm trying to locate the district attorney.

We'll get the truth as soon as possible.

But till we do, one way or other...

...l've no right to make a statement.

Ordinarily, sheriff, yes.

But there's a nervous

feeling about town.

Yes, sheriff.

And the community feels that...

We got a right to know

about him.

I don't know yet that he is

a kidnapper, so neither do you.
