The Wolf Man Page #4

Make a note, Twiddle.

Very well, sir.

"Bela the Gypsy found dead near

the body of Jenny Williams.

"Cause of death, heavy blows

from some sharp instrument."

Look,

his feet are bare.

So they are.

Otherwise,

he's fully dressed.

Make a note of that, Twiddle.

Very well, sir.

What's this?

A stick with a

horse's-head handle.

It's not a horse's head.

That's a wolf's head.

Mr. Frank? Them tracks back there.

A wolf!

Make a note, Twiddle.

Very well, sir.

"Found on scene of tragedy,

"silver-handled stick

mounted with a wolf's head."

Let's have a look

at those tracks.

Larry. Shouldn't you

be in your bed?

No. I'm all right.

Good morning,

Larry.

This is

Dr. Lloyd.

You frightened us

last night, my boy.

I'm sorry. I guess I

did kind of pass out.

Is this

your stick?

Why, of course.

That's the one I

killed the wolf with.

Larry, Bela the Gypsy

was killed last night.

They found your

stick by the body.

You mean, Bela the

fortune-teller?

Mmm-hmm.

I only saw

a wolf.

He bit me.

Look here.

Well, that's funny.

It must have healed up.

Larry, Paul wants to ask

you some questions.

Why, sure, sure.

Go ahead.

No, I think we ought

to leave him alone.

What's the

matter with you?

Paul wants to question him.

Go ahead, Paul.

Yeah, go ahead. But don't

try to make me believe

that I killed a man when I

know that I killed a wolf.

Yes, yes. We're all

a little bit confused.

He needs a good rest.

We'll talk to

you later, Larry.

Come on, Doctor.

Coming, Sir John?

Yeah. I'll be

down in a minute.

Now, Larry, will you stop

worrying and let me handle this?

But they're treating

me like I was crazy!

I'm not accusing him

of foul play, Sir John,

but, after all, two people are

dead, and I am chief constable.

That's no reason to make a

great mystery out of it.

You talk like a

detective in a novel.

Now, please, gentlemen. There's

a very simple explanation.

A dog or a wolf attacked Jenny

Williams, that's proven.

When she cried for help, Larry

and Bela went to her rescue.

It was dark. Excitement and confusion.

The Gypsy was killed.

What about

Bela's bare feet?

He just didn't have time

to put his shoes on.

And what about this

nonexistent wound?

Larry imagined

he'd been bitten.

After all, the beast jumped at

him and tore his coat to shreds.

Still, he insists

he received a wound.

You tell me his

coat was bloody

when the two women

brought him in.

Surely, a wound

can't heal overnight.

The patient is mentally disturbed.

Perhaps the shock did it.

I'd rather you didn't bother

him with questions just now.

You policemen are

always in such a hurry.

As if dead men

hadn't all eternity.
