Not bad. 00:21:42.869 --> 00:21:46.825 I didn't think she had that much taste. She knows what she's doing. 00:21:46.945 --> 00:21:50.545 She's got Ralph nuts about her, and now she's got her hooked up with this new kid. 00:21:50.665 --> 00:21:54.765 Say, we haven't many more smokes. You better run over and get some. 00:21:54.885 --> 00:21:57.765 Why couldn't you find that out when I was here this morning? 00:21:57.885 --> 00:22:01.014 Oh, I've got my car in the shop. Well, what of it? 00:22:01.145 --> 00:22:06.095 That kid out there, Jimmy, he's got a car. He'll take you. Come on, get going. 00:22:06.215 --> 00:22:07.115 Let's go on, hurry up 00:22:17.305 --> 00:22:18.505 Hey, Jimmy. Yeah? 00:22:18.625 --> 00:22:20.845 I've got to run over to Cedar Avenue 00:22:20.965 --> 00:22:23.525 for a minute. You've got a car, haven't you? 00:22:23.645 --> 00:22:27.500 Why, yeah, my sister. Mind giving me a lift? Why, sure. Come on. OK. 00:22:45.125 --> 00:22:46.025 No, thank you. 00:22:49.385 --> 00:22:51.465 Well, here we are. Oh, thanks. 00:22:53.685 --> 00:22:55.249 Oh, May, don't forget me. 00:22:57.885 --> 00:22:59.512 And I'll never forget you. 00:23:02.365 --> 00:23:05.865 Oh dear, if you want a good smoke, try one of these. 00:23:23.825 --> 00:23:25.515 I thought you were a sport. 00:23:27.885 --> 00:23:29.637 Of course, if you're afraid. 00:23:33.975 --> 00:23:38.585 That's better. That's more like it. I know you like it. Really, you will. 00:23:38.705 --> 00:23:40.457 Now, just take a puff of it. 00:24:00.125 --> 00:24:04.944 Just be a minute, kid. Hey, Jack, get me a cigarette before you go, will you? 00:24:25.645 --> 00:24:27.147 Hello, Jack. Hiya, boss. 00:24:29.285 --> 00:24:33.916 How's business? Getting better every day. Those kids sure go for it. Well. 00:24:34.505 --> 00:24:38.885 Had to run over for a couple more cartons. Ran short today. All right. 00:24:40.125 --> 00:24:42.503 Danny, that's 10 bucks for Jack Perry. 00:24:43.745 --> 00:24:44.645 Who? 00:24:44.945 --> 00:24:48.785 Pete Daly. All right, send him in.

Yeah, but I don't need dough that bad. 00:25:09.105 --> 00:25:11.170 Taking two-bit pieces from kids. 00:25:11.290 --> 00:25:15.405 There are millions of two -bit pieces just beggin' to be taken. Don't be a dope. 00:25:15.525 --> 00:25:19.092 I'm just dope enough to draw the line sellin' after kids. 00:25:21.285 --> 00:25:24.727 All right, Pete. You know what my policy's always been. 00:25:24.847 --> 00:25:27.745 The boys are not satisfied and I'm always glad to have them. 00:25:27.865 --> 00:25:29.617 Glad to have them retire. 00:25:31.185 --> 00:25:32.374 Retire permanently. 00:25:35.145 --> 00:25:36.045 So long. 00:25:44.345 --> 00:25:48.037 I only wish you had a couple of kids so I could... Get out! 00:25:51.155 --> 00:25:54.714 All right, Jack, pick up your stuff from down here. I'll be ready by now. 00:25:54.834 --> 00:25:55.734 Okay, well... 00:26:10.395 --> 00:26:13.985 Let's go, Jack. I'm red hot. Better be careful how you drive it. 00:26:14.105 --> 00:26:16.921 The first thing you know, you'll be ice cold. 00:26:24.565 --> 00:26:25.691 Take it easy, kid. 00:26:28.665 --> 00:26:30.668 Go around, you'll kill somebody. 00:26:54.645 --> 00:26:57.461 Mary, you're not eating your breakfast again. 00:26:59.245 --> 00:27:03.625 Bill Harper hasn't been around lately. Anything wrong between you two? 00:27:03.785 --> 00:27:06.038 Why, should there be anything wrong? 00:27:06.325 --> 00:27:10.831 There shouldn't be, I'm sure. And whatever it is, isn't serious, I know. 00:27:10.994 --> 00:27:13.685 I'm sorry, Mother, for snapping at you like 00:27:13.805 --> 00:27:15.870 that. Don't worry about it, dear. 00:27:16.624 --> 00:27:21.640 Why don't you speak frankly to Bill? He'll be honest, whatever the trouble is. 00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:26.005 I'm sure Bill Harper never lied about anything. Yes, that's right. 00:27:26.419 --> 00:27:29.485 Bill's mother says he never lies. There, you see? 00:27:29.605 --> 00:27:34.048 You think it'd be all right if I speak to him about it? Why, of course. 00:27:35.905 --> 00:27:36.805 Oh, Jimmy. 00:27:38.465 --> 00:27:39.365 Oh, look 00:27:39.905 --> 00:27:44.160 Sit down, darling, and I'll have your breakfast for you in a moment. 00:27:49.145 --> 00:27:53.085 Jimmy. What have I got to worry about? Why don't you tell me? 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.384 Oh, for Pete's sake, don't start to cross -examine me, will you? I'm all right. 00:27:56.434 --> 00:27:57.225 Jimmy! 00:27:57.885 --> 00:28:00.075 Don't let Mother see you like that. 00:28:17.461 --> 00:28:18.525 There is no doubt 00:28:18.645 --> 00:28:23.025 that there is an organized gang distributing the narcotic to students. 00:28:23.205 --> 00:28:26.725 Not only in my school, but all over the city. 00:28:27.165 --> 00:28:31.233 You government men have got to find some way to put an end to it. 00:28:31.525 --> 00:28:34.091 Of course, I agree with you, Dr. Carroll. 00:28:34.295 --> 00:28:38.297 But do you realize that marijuana is not like other forms of dope? 00:28:38.417 --> 00:28:41.935 You see, it grows wild in almost every state in the Union. 00:28:42.055 --> 00:28:46.118 Therefore, there is practically no interstate commerce in the drug. 00:28:46.238 --> 00:28:48.625 As a result, the government's hands are tied. 00:28:48.745 --> 00:28:53.205 And frankly, the only sure cure is a widespread campaign in education. 00:28:53.325 --> 00:28:56.600 Oh, it's all right to talk about education, Mr. Wyatt. 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:01.329 But we educators can't do anything until the public is sufficiently aroused. 00:29:01.449 --> 00:29:03.152 Let me show you something. 00:29:03.845 --> 00:29:07.417 In 1930, the records on marijuana in the Washington office 00:29:07.537 --> 00:29:11.664 of the Narcotics Division scarcely filled a small folder like this. 00:29:11.784 --> 00:29:13.385 Today, they fill cabinets. 00:29:18.525 --> 00:29:22.185 All these devoted to marijuana records. 00:29:25.965 --> 00:29:27.185 Here is an example. 00:29:28.405 --> 00:29:32.545 A 16 -year -old lad apprehended in the act of staging a holdup. 00:29:32.965 --> 00:29:35.685 16 years old and a marijuana addict. 00:29:36.545 --> 00:29:41.745 Here is a most tragic case. Yes, I remember. Just a young boy. 00:29:41.977 --> 00:29:46.545 Under the influence of the drug, he killed his entire family with an axe. 00:29:46.665 --> 00:29:49.418 Then there is the most vicious type of case. 00:29:49.925 --> 00:29:50.825 Here. 00:29:51.165 --> 00:29:55.725 In Michigan. A young girl, 17 years old. A reefer smoker. 00:29:56.345 --> 00:29:59.411 Taken in a raid in a company with five young men. 00:29:59.865 --> 00:30:03.127 Here is a particularly flagrant case. Yes, I remember. 00:30:03.247 --> 00:30:07.657 The newspapers made quite a play of it. In West Virginia, wasn't it? Yes. 00:30:07.777 --> 00:30:11.462 And there are hundreds of them coming up. New ones every day. 00:30:11.659 --> 00:30:14.225 I'd like to take these records, if I may. 00:30:14.345 --> 00:30:16.265 I feel they would be of invaluable assistance 00:30:16.385 --> 00:30:19.225 to me in combating the evil in my school. 00:30:19.365 --> 00:30:22.118 You're very welcome, Dr. Carroll. Thank you. 00:30:25.805 --> 00:30:26.765 Sit down, Bill. 00:30:29.865 --> 00:30:32.744 There seems to be something wrong. What is it? 00:30:33.705 --> 00:30:37.745 You were always a fine student. You always had excellent grades. 00:30:38.465 --> 00:30:42.407 Well, I guess the work is getting a little harder, Dr. Carroll. 00:30:44.765 --> 00:30:49.020 Bill, I'd like to help you, but of course I can't unless you let me. 00:30:49.425 --> 00:30:51.365 You're undermining your health. 00:30:51.485 --> 00:30:56.554 Well, there's nothing, Dr. Carol Wheelie, there isn't. I'll study harder, honest. 00:30:56.845 --> 00:30:57.745 Honest? 00:30:57.865 --> 00:31:01.380 If you were being honest with me and honest with yourself, 00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:04.662 I'm afraid you'd tell me an entirely different story. 00:31:07.665 --> 00:31:11.044 Bill, I'm going to ask you a straightforward question. 00:31:11.485 --> 00:31:14.989 And I'd like to have a straightforward answer. Yes, sir. 00:31:15.745 --> 00:31:18.945 Isn't it true that you have, perhaps unwillingly, 00:31:19.162 --> 00:31:21.165 acquired a certain harmful habit 00:31:21.285 --> 00:31:24.539 through association with certain undesirable people? 00:31:28.005 --> 00:31:28.905 Well? 00:31:29.445 --> 00:31:34.505 Oh, no, sir, I haven't, Dr. Carroll. Well, that is, you... You see, I'm... 00:31:35.325 --> 00:31:37.578 I'm worried about something at home. 00:31:38.065 --> 00:31:41.820 All right, my boy. We'll just have to let it go with that. 00:31:42.145 --> 00:31:47.658 But remember, if you ever want to confide in me, no one will ever be the wise one. 00:31:47.778 --> 00:31:49.324 Thank you, Dr. Carroll. 00:31:57.212 --> 00:31:59.465 Hello, Mary. You want to play a set? 00:31:59.585 --> 00:32:01.385 Thanks, Teddy, but I'm waiting for someone. 00:32:01.505 --> 00:32:05.573 Well, if you're waiting for Bill, he hasn't been here for a week. 00:32:06.125 --> 00:32:09.885 Oh, come on, Jimmy, play something nice! 00:32:10.125 --> 00:32:17.125 Come on, Jimmy! 00:32:19.945 --> 00:32:23.685 Come on, 00:32:45.465 --> 00:32:50.158 It doesn't take that new kid long to catch on. Don't take any of them long. 00:32:55.525 --> 00:32:59.405 Say, don't you ever get fed. You're feeding me, can't you see? 00:33:05.825 --> 00:33:09.016 Give me that and a fork, will you? Get it yourself. 00:33:39.925 --> 00:33:44.905 Oh, come on, Bill, come on, oh, 00:33:45.065 --> 00:33:52.065 come on, come on, Bill, come on, oh, come on, Bill. 00:33:55.615 --> 00:33:57.615 (music playing) 00:34:35.675 --> 00:34:39.225 Good morning, Miss. We're from the police department. Good morning. 00:34:39.345 --> 00:34:40.859 We're tracing a hit -and -run driver. 00:34:40.909 --> 00:34:43.389 Someone caught the license number at the place of the accident, 00:34:43.439 --> 00:34:44.665 but didn't get it quite right. 00:34:44.758 --> 00:34:47.370 So we're checking all numbers like it, and yours is one of them. 00:34:47.445 --> 00:34:48.665 Well, I'll try to help you. 00:34:48.785 --> 00:34:51.225 Do you remember what you did on the 29th of last month? 00:34:51.345 --> 00:34:54.065 Oh, that was the day before Mother's birthday. 00:34:54.185 --> 00:34:56.225 Oh, yes, I remember that because I left school 00:34:56.345 --> 00:34:58.386 and went directly to the dressmaker's with Mother. 00:34:58.505 --> 00:35:02.505 I was there all afternoon. Did you happen to loan your car to a couple of men? 00:35:02.625 --> 00:35:06.885 No, no. I had the car all afternoon myself. Well, thanks, miss. 00:35:07.005 --> 00:35:11.405 Sorry to have troubled you. Tell me, did they, was the person killed? 00:35:11.805 --> 00:35:16.624 Fortunately, he wasn't, but that's still no excuse for hit -and -run driving. 00:35:28.065 --> 00:35:30.005 Has Jimmy Lane been here today? 00:35:32.085 --> 00:35:34.725 He was in. He went over to May's place. 00:35:35.645 --> 00:35:37.084 You know where that is. 00:35:37.625 --> 00:35:43.085 Well, he was going to wait for me here. So he didn't give me May's address. 00:35:43.725 --> 00:35:47.292 Are you sure Jimmy didn't leave any message for me? Mary? 00:35:50.745 --> 00:35:51.865 No, he didn't. 00:35:53.345 --> 00:35:54.847 But I guess you're okay. 00:35:55.805 --> 00:35:57.495 I'll write it down for you. 00:36:12.805 --> 00:36:17.381 Mary, come right in.

Jack? 00:43:28.305 --> 00:43:32.445 I was just talking to a friend of mine, a cop, 00:43:34.885 --> 00:43:36.825 Sergeant on the Homicide Squad. 00:43:38.585 --> 00:43:44.085 The guy you hit that day died. Died? You... I mean, you didn't... No. 00:43:45.365 --> 00:43:47.685 I didn't crack. I'm not going to. 00:43:49.125 --> 00:43:53.380 Nobody will ever know you were driving that car. Well, thanks, Jack. 00:43:53.695 --> 00:43:56.085 Just as long as you keep your mouth shut except 00:43:56.205 --> 00:43:57.878 that you were ever up in May's apartment. 00:43:57.985 --> 00:43:59.362 Why, sure, Jack, sure. 00:44:02.345 --> 00:44:03.245 Okay. 00:44:12.525 --> 00:44:16.685 Your Honor, I'd like to recall Dr. Alfred Carroll to the stand. 00:44:17.485 --> 00:44:19.800 Call Dr. Alfred Carroll to the stand. 00:44:31.225 --> 00:44:34.405 Dr. Carroll, as principal of the Lakeside High School, 00:44:34.525 --> 00:44:36.763 did you, during the last three months, 00:44:36.883 --> 00:44:38.885 notice any changes in the demeanor 00:44:39.005 --> 00:44:41.525 and attitude of your student, William Hopper? 00:44:41.645 --> 00:44:43.365 Yes, in a number of things. 00:44:44.065 --> 00:44:48.845 For example, at times, disassociation of ideas. 00:44:50.725 --> 00:44:56.705 In another instance, I happened to attend the recent interscholastic tennis matches. 00:44:57.025 --> 00:45:01.344 And while Bill Harper had been considered an exceedingly good player, 00:45:01.464 --> 00:45:05.032 I saw him miss the ball by as much as three or four feet. 00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:09.386 This, I understand, could be attributed to the use of marijuana. 00:45:09.506 --> 00:45:13.305 It causes errors in time and space. Objection, Your Honor. 00:45:13.425 --> 00:45:18.149 The witness isn't qualified to express opinions upon the effect of narcotics. 00:45:18.269 --> 00:45:19.033 Sustained. 00:45:19.075 --> 00:45:22.703 Dr. Carroll has been called merely as a character witness. 00:45:22.823 --> 00:45:26.450 Well, then, although you didn't know to your own knowledge 00:45:26.570 --> 00:45:29.009 that the defendant was using marijuana, 00:45:29.129 --> 00:45:32.757 did you notice any changes that would lead you to believe, 00:45:32.877 --> 00:45:36.567 as an educator, that he was under some severe mental strain 00:45:36.687 --> 00:45:39.939 which might possibly have been induced by some drug? 00:45:40.705 --> 00:45:43.452 Yes, I recall distinctly a few weeks ago. 00:45:43.572 --> 00:45:46.453 It was during a class of English literature. 00:45:46.573 --> 00:45:50.124 There was a serious discussion of Shakespeare's Romeo 00:45:50.244 --> 00:45:52.455 and Juliet when he suddenly burst 00:45:52.575 --> 00:45:55.925 into an uncontrollable fit of hysterical laughter. 00:45:56.785 --> 00:45:59.628 Oh, by the way, Dr. Carroll, six months ago, 00:45:59.748 --> 00:46:03.545 what would have been your opinion regarding the character of Mike Lyon? 00:46:03.665 --> 00:46:08.605 He was a fine, upstanding American boy, a good scholar, a good athlete, 00:46:08.725 --> 00:46:11.697 and representative of the caliber of young men 00:46:11.817 --> 00:46:14.905 we are proud to graduate from our school. 00:46:22.165 --> 00:46:23.980 Oh, snap out of it, will you? 00:46:24.705 --> 00:46:25.894 It's not our fault. 00:46:27.945 --> 00:46:31.605 Why did I ever bring him up there anyway? He's just a kid. 00:46:33.045 --> 00:46:36.065 I can't hang him. Shut up! Shut up! 00:46:37.345 --> 00:46:40.185 Why don't you let yourself go? Talk! 00:46:41.085 --> 00:46:43.713 Go off, say nothing, have me that way too. 00:46:44.405 --> 00:46:46.971 It was his own fault, wasn't it? Shut up! 00:46:47.405 --> 00:46:51.410 They've got us hidden out, haven't they? The cops can't find us. 00:46:52.765 --> 00:46:53.665 Jack. 00:46:53.965 --> 00:46:56.343 Jack, I want to get out of this place. 00:46:57.475 --> 00:46:59.225 You're going to stay here as long 00:46:59.345 --> 00:47:02.474 as we have to keep those two out there undercover. 00:47:02.905 --> 00:47:06.845 Until the trial's over and the boss gets a better idea. 00:47:07.905 --> 00:47:11.685 But they're getting on my nerves. It can't last much longer. 00:47:13.805 --> 00:47:17.184 Not worried about her. Sure. We gotta keep him gagged. 00:47:17.525 --> 00:47:19.350 Oh, he's about ready to crack. 00:47:19.575 --> 00:47:22.999 All you gotta do is keep him from having too many reefers. 00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.249 Any day now that punk will get hot. 00:47:25.369 --> 00:47:29.020 He'll probably spill until all he knows if he gets a chance. 00:47:32.885 --> 00:47:34.637 I don't think you'll get it. 00:47:38.185 --> 00:47:40.688 I'll see you later. Where are you going? 00:47:41.285 --> 00:47:42.724 I'm gonna see the boss. 00:47:55.985 --> 00:47:57.845 Hello, Jack. Hello, boss. 00:48:03.185 --> 00:48:07.190 What are we going to do about that Wiley guy? Still jittery, huh? 00:48:07.310 --> 00:48:10.985 I don't know what the punk's going to do. Keep feeding him those hot sticks. 00:48:11.105 --> 00:48:13.921 That's what May's been doing. That's no good. 00:48:14.702 --> 00:48:19.148 I got a hunch that he's due to crack when that Harper verdict comes in. 00:48:19.268 --> 00:48:20.270 He's on the tee. 00:48:20.390 --> 00:48:24.565 He's liable to take a powder on us and blow us topper to the DA. 00:48:24.685 --> 00:48:29.465 You mean you think we'd all be better off if he never heard the verdict? 00:48:33.385 --> 00:48:35.325 Well, what are you waiting for? 00:48:47.285 --> 00:48:51.165 You, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have a duty to perform, 00:48:51.505 --> 00:48:55.105 a duty to yourselves and to our community. 00:48:55.965 --> 00:48:57.905 Mary Lane is dead. 00:48:59.308 --> 00:49:03.228 The evidence you've heard at this trial could not have failed 00:49:03.348 --> 00:49:06.305 to convince you of the guilt of the defendant. 00:49:06.815 --> 00:49:10.511 By his own admission, he pressed the trigger of the weapon 00:49:10.631 --> 00:49:15.345 that sent lovely and innocent of Mary Lane to a tragic and untimely death. 00:49:17.485 --> 00:49:20.745 We are not so much concerned about the motives 00:49:20.865 --> 00:49:23.573 behind the deed as to the deed itself. 00:49:23.693 --> 00:49:25.465 While the defendant has told 00:49:25.585 --> 00:49:28.649 you that he saw someone attacking Mary Lane 00:49:28.769 --> 00:49:33.116 and that his mind went blank from that moment on, the defense 00:49:33.236 --> 00:49:38.465 has been unable to produce one witness to substantiate that statement. 00:49:38.935 --> 00:49:41.035 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, 00:49:41.155 --> 00:49:44.365 you have heard able men testify at this trial, 00:49:44.485 --> 00:49:47.194 men who have tried to bring out the fact 00:49:47.314 --> 00:49:50.945 that the defendant might have become momentarily insane 00:49:51.525 --> 00:49:54.341 when he fired the shot that killed Mary Lane. 00:49:54.645 --> 00:49:58.405 But the defense has been unable to prove that he was insane. 00:49:58.816 --> 00:50:03.885 William Harper was sane when he visited the apartment where the tragedy occurred. 00:50:04.005 --> 00:50:05.865 He was in the habit of visiting the place. 00:50:05.985 --> 00:50:09.565 He was sane when he went into a bedroom with another young woman. 00:50:09.685 --> 00:50:12.188 You all heard what went on in that room. 00:50:12.365 --> 00:50:15.056 You heard it from the defendant's own lips. 00:50:15.905 --> 00:50:20.565 Involved as he was in a tawdry love affair, Mary Lane was in the way. 00:50:20.965 --> 00:50:22.342 She had found him out. 00:50:23.805 --> 00:50:28.285 In a moment of anger, he deliberately and willfully killed her. 00:50:28.529 --> 00:50:31.507 If such deeds are permitted to go unpunished, 00:50:31.627 --> 00:50:34.341 this community would cease to be a decent 00:50:34.461 --> 00:50:37.505 and safe place for us or our children to live. 00:50:38.205 --> 00:50:41.356 I do not believe I have to plead or even demand 00:50:41.476 --> 00:50:45.835 that you bring in a verdict to punish the defendant for the crime 00:50:45.955 --> 00:50:48.503 that he has committed against society. 00:50:48.645 --> 00:50:50.385 You are upright citizens. 00:50:51.265 --> 00:50:54.081 That is why you were chosen to judge another. 00:50:54.265 --> 00:50:59.745 And as honest, upright citizens, there is only one verdict which you can find, 00:50:59.925 --> 00:51:03.205 and that is a verdict of guilty. 00:51:05.685 --> 00:51:10.265 And this court will be adjourned until the jury's verdict is reached. 00:51:17.585 --> 00:51:20.589 I suppose you all feel the same about this case. 00:51:25.670 --> 00:51:29.425 But he might have been insane when he did it. No, he wasn't. 00:51:29.545 --> 00:51:31.172 He knew what he was doing. 00:51:36.235 --> 00:51:41.211 But supposing he was insane? You can never make me believe it, nor anybody else. 00:51:41.331 --> 00:51:42.865 We'll take a first vote. 00:51:58.805 --> 00:52:01.765 Eleven for conviction, one for acquittal. 00:52:06.485 --> 00:52:10.445 But there's a reasonable doubt about the boy's sanity. We can't. 00:52:10.565 --> 00:52:13.905 No doubt about the fact that he murdered her. He admitted it himself. 00:52:14.025 --> 00:52:16.528 That wasn't the first time he was there. 00:52:26.855 --> 00:52:31.649 We've got to make an example before boys like that contaminate all of our children. 00:52:31.769 --> 00:52:35.815 We can't have every murderer hiding behind the gag that he's insane? 00:52:35.935 --> 00:52:39.980 Sure, they see red before they kill somebody. But whose fault is it? 00:53:24.705 --> 00:53:26.395 Have you reached a verdict? 00:53:27.445 --> 00:53:28.345 We have. 00:53:29.225 --> 00:53:30.727 The defendant will rise. 00:53:35.045 --> 00:53:39.605 What is your verdict? You find the defendant guilty, is charged. 00:53:45.885 --> 00:53:46.785 No! 00:54:04.925 --> 00:54:05.945 Oh, my God. 00:54:41.025 --> 00:54:44.385 What's the matter with you, the creeps? 00:54:52.105 --> 00:54:53.945 Mae!

It was Jack. 01:01:21.745 --> 01:01:25.770 Jack Perry. He shot Mary, and then he put the gun in Bill's hand. 01:01:25.955 --> 01:01:28.552 We were all at the apartment one afternoon, 01:01:28.672 --> 01:01:31.211 and Mary came in looking for her brother. 01:01:31.805 --> 01:01:34.183 Bill and I, we'd been in another room. 01:01:34.762 --> 01:01:39.205 And Bill came in, he caught Ralph with Mary, and they started to fight. 01:01:39.325 --> 01:01:41.025 But it was Jack who had the gun. 01:01:41.145 --> 01:01:44.205 He was gonna hit Bill over the head with it to make him stop. 01:01:44.325 --> 01:01:46.328 And then, then the gun went off. 01:01:47.065 --> 01:01:47.985 I saw it. 01:01:49.385 --> 01:01:52.465 I can see it now.
