You Can't Get Away with Murder Page #5

---

We made just

one little mistake.

They found some

fingerprints

We left in the joint.

Might as well

take it on the chin.

There's worse raps

than this, you know.

Come on,

come on!

Johnnie.

Cop:
I understand

there was a killing

In this neighborhood

tonight.

Yeah, that

was a hot one.

Special patrolman,

fellow named burke,

Took his service gun

And stuck up

a pawn shop.

They got him,

didn't they?

Yeah.

What's the matter,

kid,

Past your bedtime?

[Whistle blows]

Man:
and now, ladies

and gentlemen,

If you will step right

over this way please,

Step right up close.

This trip up

the Hudson river

is intended to be

Both educational

and entertaining.

I now call your

particular attention to

Those gray forbidding walls

up on my right here,

The cell block at Sing Sing.

Within those gray walls

are 2,682 men

Serving out a total

of over 20,000 years.

[Whistle blows]

Yoohoo!

Yoohoo!

Hey! Hey!

On her way Albany,

I'll bet she'll

be in New York

By midnight tonight.

Yeah.

First stop

125th street.

Just 10 minute's walk

from where I live.

You mean you used to.

Hey, look!

She's pulling in!

Nah, that's just to give

The rubbernecks

a thrill.

Wow, I wonder what

this joint looks like

To them chumps

from out there.

I'll write you

a letter about it, toad.

'Cause that's

where I'm gonna be

seeing her from soon.

Looking for Johnnie?

I hear the D.A. Filed

right through Burkes alibi.

Had him and that girl

twisted up like

a penny pretzel.

Yeah?

Yeah.

They give the case

to the jury yesterday.

Oh, thanks for the news.

And your pal's on

a visit with his sister,

In case that

interests you.

Hey, what are you

telling me all this for?

Aw, be yourself,

Frankie.

Here's one guy that's

cut all his teeth.

Yeah, well you

like to have me

Shove 'em down

your throat for you?

You--You mean the jury

found Fred guilty?

They, they couldn't!

But they did.

Circumstantial

evidence,

Finding

the gun there.

They claim he could

have done it

After he left me.

They're bringing

him here today,

To the death house.

But he's innocent.

Johnnie, tell me you believe

he's innocent.

Yeah.

Fred's lawyer

is taking it to appeal.

But there's only one

way to clear him.

Johnnie, we've

got to find out

Who stole Freds gun.

I've thought it all over.

Now, whoever did it

must have known

That Fred left his

gun in his room

When he was off duty.

What are you

looking at me for?

I didn't have

nothing to do with it.

No, Johnnie, but you

know somebody that may,

Frank Wilson.

Frank?

Yes, maybe he's

heard something,

Maybe he knows somebody

in the neighborhood who'd...

well, who'd do

a thing like that.
