McGraw was a good friend of mine I'm warning you not to interfere mr barn You'll regret it if you do you'll regret it more I have everything to gain and nothing to lose Nothing but your life And what about yours? Ha ha they'll never convict me. They'll be so sure. I'm innocent They can't even keep me here another 24 hours or your lawyers are gonna spring you, huh? I have influential friends, mr barns And when I'm free I want to be left alone Do you understand?

I'm coming. You know, I'm coming Miss cola Miss cola. Oh, mr barns. Thank heaven you're here. I was afraid you wouldn't come Well, you said it was a matter of life and death. It is it is I just have been lying to the police and she's made me lie for her too. What do you mean? Well, that night you were here that night. Michael was killed She told you she was in the house with me all evening, but she wasn't She was out with him working through the park. Why didn't you tell the police? I couldn't I couldn't I was afraid of what she might do to me. You don't know her mr barns. He killed me if he thought I was telling you this But I've got to tell somebody I I've just got to wait a minute kid get home. Yes, sir The night this fellow Michael was killed Your sister made you say that she was home with you all evening That's right. Did she tell you why she wanted you to lie for her? Yes I don't believe She had nothing to do with Michael's death, but there was no way of proving her innocence He was afraid that police might convict her on circumstantial evidence of I didn't give her an alibi I see Now one more question Miss cola You've been to india, haven't you Yes, we live there a number When I saw that bird with the yellow bell in the green Well By the way, where is that bird? I don't see it. It's gone The case is empty. Your sister must have taken it away. I had seen mr barns. He was dead Why are you so frightened carolin? Have you been talking out of school? No, no, what have you told him? Nothing. Nothing. I haven't said a word. You're lying. Go into the house carolin Just a moment. Are you meddling again mr barns? I'm more than meddling I'm going to protect the state's key witness in this case against you. So you have told him. Yes. Yes, I told him everything I don't care what you do to me. I don't Be quiet How long do you think you can keep this up miss cola? Aren't five cold-blooded murders enough for you? You're a fool barn. Call the police carolin hurry. I'll keep her here until they arrive Carolin, don't you dare on the police. I tell you she'll kill you. Yes, yes Carolin come back here digs just about up miss cola You think you're clever, don't you? Not especially But I know who committed those murders. You don't You're wrong mr barns I can prove that you're wrong. You're wasting your breath, but I'm innocent I tell you and I can prove it if you give me half the chance What chance did you give McGraw? I wasn't anywhere near McGraw when he was killed And michael was my best friend. Yeah, tell that to the cop Give me a break mr barns I'll admit I was with michael that night. He was killed, but I didn't do it I couldn't have done it You couldn't have done it. No I'll show you why if you let me go back to the place where it happened What do you think I am? I think you're a gentleman mr barns And I know you want to find out who murdered your friend You never will find out if they can pick me You'll never find the real murderer Won't you believe me Won't you give me this one last chance? I don't know. Please. Please. Let me let me prove that you're wrong Okay, where do you want to go back to the edge of the cliff Michael and I were standing just about here mr barns. Yeah, let's go on We were talking about the mysterious murders that had taken place on these bluffs overlooking the harbor We were joking about the fact that I was a woman dressed in white You're in white again tonight, miss gola Yes, it's my favorite color. I see We stood here for a while and then the cold air chilled me so I asked her michael for his coat Uh may I have your coat, please mr barns. What's the idea? I want to show you what happened Well, do you have to be that graphic? Yes, it's important the details are terribly important All right, you can have my coat But I'm warning you miss cola. I know the game Flipping a silk loose over a man's neck is done more easily when his coat's off That's why all the victims were found in their shirt sleeves, but michael was the only one I knew I couldn't possibly have had a motive for killing the others. They're complete strangers to me. That's not much of a defense Psychopathic murderers often kill without a motive. They do it for the thrill it gives them Whether they know their victims or not All right continue with your story miss cola Well, after I put on michael's coat I started toward the house and then I missed my bag I guess I left it near the edge of this over there somewhere beside that rock What's the matter? Isn't there another bag over there where beside the rock? Get it mr barns and bring it here. Why bring it here Oh, no, you'll bring it here. Oh, all right If you're that frightened of me, I will Just an ordinary bag. I don't know why you were afraid of picking it up Nothing Oh I knew you couldn't resist another victim mr barns But you forgot about my strong hand and this coat I borrowed from you You should have known better than to try that trick while I still had it on Other ways of committing murder miss cola and I'm sure a psychopathic killer like yourself knows most of them Yes, I do. See where you are More than I thought miss cola I never dreamed that you'd Want a gun in that bag that was the chief's idea You underrated our police force barns We've suspected you for some time We couldn't get the goods on you till tonight Yes Didn't you know there were women detected? My sister and I have been leading you on Ever since you killed michael In all this time I was Figuring I could Pen the rap on you That's barns boy gave me the willies And that of course leads to the gimmies Well, look here here's wax up with the wanties.
