Girl in the News Page #2

coldly and deliberately? Members of the

jury, you cannot have it both ways!

Either the prisoner is innocent, or

she's a danger to society!

A homicidal maniac, obsessed by the

idea of gain!

Now you've seen her, you heard her in

the witness box.

Did she for one moment give you

that impression?

Boy! Paper!

- What happened?

- Not guilty.

- Humphries, drop me off at the flat,

will you? - Yes, sir.

- So Stephen got the girl off, eh?

- Yes, jury were only out 20 minutes.

- Came back at 4:30.

- Talking of the 4:30, what won it?

Emm, Chased Harriet. Harper and

Destiny second and third.

Just my luck, as usual.

Not in the first three.

- What did you bet?

- Livewire.

- Short-circuited.

- Ha, ha, ha.

- Oy, oy.

- Sorry, look after Charlie, Smith.

- Alright.

- Aren't you coming with us, Mr Mather?

No, I've got a celebration to attend to.

Smith'll kiss you goodnight.

It won't be the same without you,

Mr Mather!

- That you, Bill?

- Uh-huh.

- Well, I see that girl got off.

- Did she?

- Yes, someone's been very clever.

- Just goes to show.

- Well, congratulations!

- Yes, light up, everybody

I tell you this has given you the

chance you've been waiting for?!

I was lucky to get it. If Hanson hadn't

gone down with flu...

The path to success is paved with other

people's influenza.

- You took your chance like a Marshall

Hall! - I wouldn't say that.

You ought to be able to start up a nice

business.

"Gallows cheated at reasonable rates!"

I'm not sure about cheated, in this case.

Why, don't you think she did it?

There was a doubt. I managed to get

her the benefit of it.

- Pretty strong evidence.

- Circumstantial.

Hmm, very nice too, they should have

called us in, we'd have fixed her!

To the future Lord Chancellor!

- Pretty girl, Nurse Graham.

- Yeah.

- Bill, I wish I knew.

- What?

- Whether she did it or not.

- Does that matter?

- She's done you a good turn.

- Hope so.

Overfilled the bath again this morning.

More trouble.

- Is Mr Farringdon in?

- Yes. Won't you come in?

- What name shall I say?

- Nurse Graham.

Could you wait a moment?

- It's her!

- What?

- It's her!

- What does she want?

Oh I don't know. Probably wants to

borrow a couple of quid.

- I can't see her. Tell her to go away.

- It's too late. She's in!

- Good evening Miss Graham.

- May I see you a moment, Mr Farringdon?

Why certainly, yes, come in.

- Oh, this is Bill Mather, Miss Graham

- How do you do?

- You don't mind if he stays?

- Oh, I'd better be getting off...

- What?

- Oh I've got to, old man,

I've got to get back to the station,

back to work. Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

- Let me take this!

- You'd left the court before I could
