Three Strangers Page #5

Plenty, that's what it is.

One man by himself

can hold out.

But when there's

two or 3,

They can be played

against each other.

And one of them

always spills.

Isn't it lucky

I'm innocent?

And if I'm known

to be innocent,

Will I then hang

quite as high

As you or Fallon?

If you show yourself

And get picked up

and spill-

If we get nabbed

on account of you-

Yeah?

I'll swear to it you're

as guilty as Fallon or me.

You'll hang,

I'll see to that.

Gabby, I'll get him

some gin.

He can have it in here, where

you can keep an eye on him.

It's the last time

I get into a fix

Where I have to play

nursemaid to a bloomin' idiot.

Where will you

get the money?

Same place

I got it before.

Fallon ain't gonna

keep forking out money

To keep him swimming

in gin!

He wants an alibi

fixed, don't he?

Well, he'll have to

fork out.

If you put it

that way to Fallon,

he's gonna remember it

when they turn him loose.

That will be my lookout.

I'll drop by with

the gin in the morning.

Yes, please, if it isn't

too much trouble.

It ain't no trouble.

And the crown

intends to prove

That police officer brown,

hearing cries for help

From the night watchman,

Donald Frye,

Entered the building

and called upon Bertram Fallon

And the two persons unknown

to surrender,

And thereupon

was brutally slain.

And the crown intends to prove

that the hand that fired the shot

Which killed police officer

brown was Bertram Fallon's-

And that Bertram Fallon

is guilty of murder.

I call Donald Frye.

The prisoner

may sit.

Is it true,

Mr. Frye,

That on the aforementioned night

At the aforementioned

address,

You were attacked

and beaten by two men?

I was.

Would you be able

to identify them?

One of them I could.

Is he in

this courtroom?

He is.

Would you point

him out, please?

Him in the dock,

that's the one!

That is all,

Mr. Frye.

I call officer

Cummings.

"Tell us what happened,

officer Cummings,

"From the time you heard

patrolman Brown's whistle

"Until you came

upon his body?

"Answer:
first thing,

I blew my own whistle,

"Then I ran towards

officer Brown's whistle.

"Halfway up the block I

heard pistol shots, 3 reports.

"When I got to the

end of the block,

"Two suspicious-Looking

characters came around the corner,

One pulling the other

one along, helping him. "

Is that the way

it was?

You don't remember

any of it?

No, I don't.

Not any.

It's like it says

in the paper.

"The one who was

doing the helping

"Let go of the other,

and then sprinted off.

"So I grabbed

onto the other one.

"He seemed like something

was the matter with him,

"Like he might have been hurt, disabled,

Or maybe he was
