I know I know the minute we found out about it We asked him to cancel it, but we were too late Barney Margo had apparently jumped off the bridge and Neither you nor the police nor anybody else at that time could prove that he hadn't and just because some of Barney's clothes were found In the water because of that phony suicide note He left on the bridge to get the witness Johnny the girl who saw him alone out there in the bridge before he disappeared Yeah, yeah, I also saw something presumably his body toppled off into the water made he made he pressed God was in That's the one and since Barney had been seen going out of the bridge But didn't show up after what she saw they took big Mike Killian's word for it that Barney made the leap That's right were upon big Mike immediately claimed the insurance however Johnny Killian has not been paid that 300 grand Nor will he be if you can produce Barney Margo in time Yeah, but how much time well according to the final decision of the courts while we were fighting this payment Unless he's picked up before March 1st.

There's no way we can possibly get him back here in time Well, even so what's more all the proof in the world that he's still alive is no good unless he himself is brought back to New York On our way. Well, that was the decision of the courts. That's the way it stands Oh great, but Johnny if you somehow and believe me not only I but the police will close their eyes to whatever method You might have to use if you could somehow get him back here in time Well, I'm thinking about a $10,000 fee in addition to your expense account if you produce him nothing Of course if you don't before March 1st, it's impossible Yes, I know so Pat.
