 Well, I'll lighten up. How'd you know? Couldn't miss it. Oh, it's not that bad. I kinda like it. Life's good with you? Good. Yeah. That's kinda nice. Got somebody in the line? Uh-uh. I thought I'd say I'll cargo him. Making a... How many do you have? 15. Glad to see cargo get the chance. Been with you a long time. Yeah? 12 years now. You really think my tie's long? May I have your attention, please? You people out there on the other side of the wire in the audience room, may I have your attention, please? Thank you. My name is Carter, Sergeant Pete Carter. I'll explain the lineup to you. Each of the suspects you see will be numbered. I'll call off a number of their name and charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoner as I call his name. If you are sure or not too sure of the suspect, have him know it. The officers who took your name will assist you. Please be prompted with your questions or identifications. When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the washroom and dressed back in their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here. The questions I ask these suspects are never to get a natural tone of voice. So do not pay too much attention to their answers. Stand and face front. Hand to your side. Now when I call your number, step out and talk up. It's a big room out there and I want everybody to hear you. All right, number one, Louie Bresken. Drunk in disorderly. 160847. You'll have to speak up, Lloyd. I got to talk to him. You can talk up louder than that. Repeat your address. 160847. What do you work? I'm carrying a poultry shop in my own prison. You caused a little trouble in your poultry shop, Lloyd? Yeah. You beat up a customer. He's got nasty. You beat up everybody to get nasty? He's there to swallow the shop with clothes. You always clothes advice? I close when I feel like it. I own the shop. I close when I want to close. I close. I had a couple of drinks and this guy comes in and gets his lousy love seat. Why did he get nasty? He said I put the wrong fabric on it or something. I say he's crazy. He says he ordered something else. I say he didn't. You know how those things get started. What is your heading with? The love seat. All right, Lloyd, step back. You know, the fabric he said he didn't order was better than the stuff he said he did. Step back, Lloyd. Okay. Number two, John Spatt. Robbery. What do you live, John? Uh, 67 West, 167th Street. What do you do? I shine a shoe, but it stands. How old are you? I'm 32. Anybody arrested with you? Yeah. Well, that's him. Uh, number seven, William Crawford. Well, I don't know. I just told me, Bill. I don't have any less than that. Any weapons? Two shots. Yeah. That's those shooting shots. That was a 38. Oh, come on now, John. Give a fellow a description. Oh, mine was a 38. Blue, zero, a 38. Bendel Parking. Yeah, 67 East Reeds. A man called Lynn Fellows. Said his sister was a victim. And how bad is she? Said she was dead. Got her through the window. Thought I might find her out here. Who's inside? The brother in the car. All right, keep looking. I will. I had instant label with Andrew behind the left ear. Where's your brother? He's in the other room. Let's take a look around coin. Right. Brother's really taking it too. Uh-huh. I'd ask you a few questions. If you think you can answer them right now. Well, I guess I can. Kind of none. Kind of. One minute you talk to somebody you know. And that's the end of it. That's all. I just, I don't know. I'm so mixed up. Well, you can help by just telling us everything you know. Everything you can remember. I don't know. I was just sitting there reading the paper. Margie's out in the kitchen too. Things, Margie and her girlfriend or something. I think they were shopping and something happened. You know, with the clerk. So it reminded me of a story, I guess. I said something that was funny. We laughed. Kind of silly because we were tired. You know how you do it. Yeah. You've got a real. What were you going to say? I was going to say she's got a real wonderful laugh. Take your time. You got a cigarette with him? Sure. There's a line. Okay. What were you talking about? Your sister was in the kitchen. Oh. Yeah. You were laughing about something. Just look. She came into the room and sat down. I guess we laughed some more. I started to talk. There was a shot. Not a loud one. I remember I didn't pay any attention to Margie. The window broke and it made me jump. I didn't look at her. I think I jumped up. Yeah. I said something. I don't remember just what I said, but I turned to Margie. He was falling over. It happened so quick. You know, between the time you jump up and turn, she was still falling. I didn't get it. It wouldn't go in my head. She fell out of the chair on the floor. I still just kind of stood there. I kind of knew what had happened. And I didn't. And I saw the blood. Gosh, I don't remember too much. After that, I think I called you. I don't know anybody who would want to kill your sister. Do you think about it? All right. Stay with him, Crockett. Here. I don't know if I... Barger's here. How are you, Sam? I'm fine. Found the slug. Oh, 22. It's too flattened out to be much help. That's where it went in. Right in line with a woman. Went through the window, through her, stuck. She was to die pretty quick. The slug landed right behind the left ear and passed through. Small slug. Well, I can't tell you much more until I get to downtown. We're going to take a look at a brother with him. He's pretty shaken out in the casing there. 22. Oh, where? About 15 feet from the house by a hedge. All right. Let's go take a look. This is the spot on the right. You can see where he was heading. It's right in line. The slug was right here. It's a clear shot. Now all we need is a gun and a motor. Fine, just gave me the rundown on his bellows killer. Yeah, there's a tough one, Pete. Check and check, Dan. That's what Asher was saying. You can't find a motor. How about the brother? It's possible, I guess. But I don't think so. No later. Just a slug in the casing. We can find the gun. We can match the casing. Well, that should be easy. Only about 50,000 22s in the city. I said it was tough. He checked the neighborhood? Yeah. A couple of 22s, but they aren't dead. And the brother staked out for a week now. I swear he's not. Yeah, he's got a policy, but she hasn't. All the friends in the neighbors say they were inseparable. Neither one was married. No family left alone for about 15 years. But she do. Works in a garage mechanic. Want some coffee? Yeah, yeah, I'd love some. Let's get out of this office. I'm getting a headache. Not coffee. You hungry again? Well, I thought I might have a hamburger. You're not always hungry. Well, stop working me so much. Hey, Jerry. Yeah, Pete. How about putting some peanut butter on a hamburger, huh? Peanut butter. Peanut butter? Glad what you ever had a hamburger with nuts on it. A nut burger? Sure. Peanut butter does the same thing. Just coffee for me, Jerry. You want onions on it, too? Sure, that works. Oh, no. No, these are great. I'll give you a bite. Don't do me any favors. Give me some coffee, too. One peanut butter burger and two coffee. There's an order. Give me two knuckles, huh? I don't know if I got them. Yeah, I only got one. Oh, you got a knuckle. Yeah, he's here. Sam, for you. Okay, thanks. Hey, Jerry, is this jukebox out of order? The sign says that. You sure you just didn't hang it there when your spotted car got coming? No. It's really out of order. Hello. Excuse me. Another shooting, Ben. Where? Corner. Jefferson of Adams. 4673 Adams. Another woman. I'll be right over. It was the funniest thing. Well, I mean, it certainly wasn't funny, but it was strange. Well, I didn't really mean it. It was funny, understand? Yes, we understand. Well, I was just sitting at the bus stop there on the bench. I was just sitting there on that end. Nobody else? Well, not at first. No, not at first. The woman when she came up later. Anybody else around? I didn't see anybody. No, I was just sitting on the bench in this woman. That's all. What time was it? Well, I don't know. No, I don't see. It was about 15 minutes ago, I guess. From the time she was shot until the time the officers arrived. I guess it was just about 15 minutes. Go on. I must admit I'm very nervous. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I was just sitting there not paying attention to her cause. And there you are. Somebody shoots you. There you are. You're sitting next to a dead woman. That's just a terrible thing to go through. And you didn't see anyone else? No, no, I didn't. I heard the shot. I saw her tap along the bench. Just toppled right over in her face. I didn't tie the shot and her falling together right away. And then when I saw the blood. Oh my goodness, when I saw that blood, I mean, I crawled right under the bench. Now here's the corner. It's where the corner is. Oh my goodness, the corner. Hello there. I'll see you in a minute, Sam. Oh, I'll find something to do. Oh my goodness, what kind of a remark was that? Oh my goodness. You were waiting for a bus. Huh? Waiting for a bus? Well, of course. I was sitting right on that end of the bench. Now where were you going? Well, I was going home. What are you left with? Well, I was at 5477 Adams. Now where were you tonight? I was visiting a friend. Who? George. George Wells. He doesn't really far from here. He's been asking me just around that corner. And he's up about two blocks. 2347 Jefferson. And on the second floor. Check that, Asher. Right. Well, you don't think that I have? No, sir. Just checking everything. Well, Asher, I should hope so. Well, you go and talk to George. He'll tell you all about me. That's a terrible thing. I never get mixed up in anything like that. We'll have to ask you to come down to the station and sign a statement. Come down to the station? Well, I've got to get home. I have a mother at home. She'll worry, really. Hey, Asher. Take a look at this. Oh, that's good. 22 rifles. Now, where'd you find it? Right around the corner on Jefferson and McDonough. Look at this. Old breech has been blown apart. Oh, my goodness. Mr. Toomey. Yes? You said you heard the shot. Oh, yes. Yes, I heard it. How loud was it? How loud? Bang! Very loud. That's an old rifle. It probably blew up right in this face. It must have. I found some blood leaking away from the corner. Now, let's take a look. Yeah. Back up. Back up. Back up. Right up through. Some of the blood. It could have shot it from here. This is where he did it. Look at the wall. Yeah, splattered. Keep your light on the side, won't you? How far did you follow this blood? Just while I found the rifle. Anywhere. A couple of yards up. Pretty bad. Now, go up that way, please. Don't see any more. I can't find any more up this way. All right, go back. Take a gun into a car. That's what it looks like. Blood stops about four feet from the gunner. At least hurt. We know that. Well, have Sam get a sample of this blood. You're pretty fresh. Probably a look for a first aid. Put out an old point. Tell him newspapers and get some radio bulletins out so the private doctors will be on the lookout. They'd have to report a gunshot wound. No, it won't necessarily look like a gunshot wound. Could tell him he was playing with a shotgun shell or anything. Police are seeking a suspect who is believed to be responsible for the slaying of two women. A week ago, Miss Ethel Bellows was shot while sitting in the living room of her home. And early this evening, another woman, Mrs. Sophie Gillette, was killed in the same manner while she set at a bus stop on Adams Drive. The police say the suspect used an old .22 rifle that exploded when he fired the shot. It was a quarter of a lap. I'd done it down when he was walking down on the clock. They can't possibly match those cases. What's left of that rifle? I didn't think to cut it. Police is too damaged. A firing pin or ejector were blown to pieces. Got me. Wait, hold it a minute, please. I turned that thing off. I'm sorry, yeah. What were you saying? My name is Dr. Bishop. Yes, doctor. Yes, but we don't know if it is a man. I think it is. You treat somebody? Yes. It's happened. It exploded in his face. You know him? Yes. What makes you think his story isn't straight? He left and I heard the broadcast. I examined the swab, so I cleaned it. Dr. Bishop? Yes. I'm Lieutenant Guthrie. Come in. This is Sergeant Carter. How do you do? Hello, doctor. Let's go into the other room, gentlemen. Say you've treated this man before? Yes. His name is Devers. Peter Devers. I checked his file while I was waiting for you. Sit down. I thank you. There was enough blood, so I got the spear for you. That'll be a big help. You have the address on this Peter Devers? Yes, I wrote it down. Yes. The address is 658 North Bend. How many times have you treated him in a time? Four or five, according to the record. Well, you know what we want him for, doctor. You think he's capable of shooting two women? I don't know him very well. I'll show you his case history, but it won't tell much. He's a nervous person, quiet, but impatient. I've taken care of a few bad calls for him, and he has something to matter with his back. I can't find much, but we'll work properly. You know what kind of work he does? I asked him when he started complaining about his back, and he told me he was an accountant. Did he say where? Yes, the Inright Insurance Company on Madison. I had to have that information for my files. Well, and you have no particular opinion on whether he could have committed these crimes? I'm a doctor, Lieutenant. I'll answer that question by saying I believe any one of us can commit a serious crime under the right conditions. We're police officers. We're looking for Peter Devers. Peter Devers, Mr. Devers? He's in 206. What's he done? Is he in his room now? Well, I don't know. I thought I heard him come in, but it could have been Mr. and Mrs. Kyle. They live right over me. Mr. Devers lived in the apartment next to the files, but I can hear him sometimes. And you think maybe he's in? Well, I thought I heard him, but I don't know. What's he done? Well, we'd just like to talk to him. He's in 206. Oh, I told you that. How long has Mr. Devers lived here? Oh, nearly six years. What kind of a person is he? Well, he's a nice person. He's been a very good tenant. He's quiet and doesn't go out at night much. You know whether he was out earlier this evening? Oh, yes. I know he went out, but I'm not sure whether or not he's come in yet. Has he got a car? Yes. Now, what in the world do you want him for? Well, we'll know better after we talk to him. Show us where his car is, please. Well, certainly. The garage entrance is at the end of the hall. I'll just get something to put around me. I was just getting ready to go to bed. You'd better put something on warm. It's pretty cold. I'll just be a second. This guy sounds like an ideal citizen. You'd better go up and wait by his door. Yeah, right. All right. I've got this puppy. Oh, where's the other office? He went upstairs to wait. Oh, well, the garage is this way. Mr. Devers is really an awfully nice man. I don't know what in the world he could have done. Is he speeding? No. Now, which one is his car? The day one. The sedan? Yes. Does Mr. Devers have a stove in his apartment? Yes. You've been in all evening? Yes. Then you'd certainly hear an explosion from Mr. Devers' apartment. An explosion? Yeah, his stove blew up. Oh, my, yes. His stove didn't blow up. I would have heard it. I think I'd better go up and see him. What's that? I'm going to see the car. Blood. Somebody moving around. He's in there all right. This size car. Blood all over it. Call Quine and tell him to get over with some men just in case. Yeah. Oh, just a minute. Hi, Mr. Devers. Who are you? We'd like to talk to you, Mr. Devers. You said you were Dr. Bishop. We're police officers, Mr. Devers. Police officers? My name's Guthrie. This is Sergeant Cargan. But why did you say you were Dr. Bishop? I don't understand. We come in. Well, I'm not feeling very well. Yes, you had an accident, I understand. Yes. We'd like to talk to you if you don't mind. Well, come on in. The place is a mess. I didn't even bother to clean up. I didn't feel well, so I laid down. The doctor said your stove blew up. Oh. Well, it wasn't my stove. I was over at a friend's house this evening. Yes. About what time, Mr. Devers? Earlier, I guess it's about eight. I don't know exactly. What's this all about? Do you live here alone? Yes. Who's the woman in the picture? My mother. She died 10 years ago. Tell us about the accident. Well, like I told the doctor, the gas must have been on. I struck a match, stove exploded. I hope your friend wasn't hurt. Oh, no, no. You have to excuse me. Well, I had to thank the doctor. He gave me some pills to stop the pain. You were hurt pretty badly. Oh, it's not the bad. Who was your friend? You mean where I was? Yeah. Oh, it was. His name is Collins, Paul Collins. Where does he live? But what's this all about? What do you want with me? We'd just like to know where you were around 7.30 this evening. Well, I told you. You're sure you weren't on the corner of Jefferson and Adams? Jefferson and Adams. Did you know are Mr. Bellows who live now? No. I haven't given you the address. Well, I don't know any Mr. Bellows. How about a Mrs. Gillette? No. We found the rifle. Rifle? It matched the empty shell casing. Shell casing? You can identify shell casings as easily as bullets. We'll check with your friend, Paul Collins. Wait a minute. There's no sense in going on with this. I don't know how to explain it. I shot both of them. I can't tell myself. I had the .22. I don't know. I thought about turning myself in before I did it. But I couldn't. You didn't know either of these women? No. I never even seen them before. I thought about doing it a lot. It was like I couldn't help myself. I shot a pigeon one time when I was a kid, a pet pigeon. I used to raise them. He was just sitting there looking down at me and I shot him. My folks never found out about it. I burned him in the incinerator like that. Look, I can't explain it to you. But I feel better now that it's over. You just had to kill these people. I couldn't help it. I can't possibly explain how I felt. I just couldn't help it. Why women? I don't know. You'd better come with us. Okay. I'll get a coat. A little like an older addition.
