00:08:50♪♪
00:09:00Very nice. Now where is that confounded thing?
00:09:04What?
00:09:05A wire about your Montana interest. You'll have to leave tonight.
00:09:08Leave tonight?
00:09:09Yes, we may have to appoint a new manager.
00:09:12But I don't want to go now.
00:09:13It won't take long. A few days out there will straighten everything out.
00:09:17Well, what's the matter with Simpson? Dad was satisfied with him.
00:09:20Getting old, my boy. Losing his efficiency.
00:09:24Well, I won't fire him.
00:09:27Might put somebody into a system.
00:09:29The very thing. The very thing.
00:09:31I don't see why a couple of weeks from now wouldn't do just as well.
00:09:34No, no. Somebody out there is diverting some of the money.
00:09:37And we'll have to hold Simpson responsible unless you...
00:09:40Oh, all right. All right, I'll go.
00:09:41I'll see about your reservations.
00:09:43You'll be coming back here, won't you?
00:09:45I don't think so. So I'll be busy all afternoon.
00:09:47Leaving so suddenly like this?
00:09:48At the station, then. Eight o'clock.
00:09:50Okay.
00:09:51What's the hurry, silly?
00:10:04We've got a lot of things to do this afternoon.
00:10:06We haven't had anything to eat.
00:10:08I don't see any place around here to eat.
00:10:15You don't now, but there soon will be.
00:10:18Oh, what a cute little house.
00:10:20Oh, I don't like that one so well.
00:10:22How do you like the one next door and the one across the street?
00:10:25Well, they're not nearly as nice.
00:10:27I still like this one the best.
00:10:29Well, see if you like the inside as well as you do the out.
00:10:32Have you got the key?
00:10:34Sure, that's what I brought you out to see. Hop out.
00:10:44Oh, Dick, it's a perfect kitchen.
00:10:49Kind of nice, huh?
00:10:50Nice? I think it's lovely.
00:10:53Do you like it well enough to live in for a year?
00:10:55You know, until I come into my dome, we can go swank.
00:10:58I'd never want anything lovelier, not if we had millions.
00:11:04Wash tubs. Hooray!
00:11:08Oh, gee, Jenny, you're a funny kid.
00:11:10You'd appreciate those tubs if you'd wash your socks in a wash basin as often as I have.
00:11:17Oh, say, listen, I was just thinking.
00:11:19Do you suppose that marriage license bureau stays open on Saturday afternoons?
00:11:23I don't know. We could go Monday noon, couldn't we?
00:11:26Well, no.
00:11:27Why not?
00:11:28You see, well, I didn't want to tell you and spoil the fun of seeing the cottage.
00:11:33Tell me what?
00:11:34Oh, it isn't as serious as all that.
00:11:37I'll be back in a week or ten days.
00:11:39Where are you going?
00:11:40Montana.
00:11:41When?
00:11:42Tonight. You see, somebody's bungling something up there.
00:11:44Mr. Martin sent you away.
00:11:46Please don't bring Martin into this.
00:11:48He sent you out of town just to get you away from me. I know it.
00:11:51Oh, you've got him all wrong.
00:11:53We were talking about you this morning. He said something very nice.
00:11:56What'd he say?
00:11:57Well, I don't exactly remember.
00:11:59Did you tell him we were going to be married?
00:12:01No.
00:12:07Oh, please don't act like that.
00:12:09Oh, I suppose it looks foolish, but...
00:12:10Oh, now listen.
00:12:11Now you leave it to me and I'll have old Martin at the wedding giving us his blessings.
00:12:16Come on, smile.
00:12:19There. That's better.
00:12:21That's how I want to remember you while I'm gone.
00:12:24And you won't be more than ten days?
00:12:26Two weeks at the most.
00:12:27And you're right to me?
00:12:28Every day.
00:12:29How about you?
00:12:31Every day.
00:12:32Every minute you're gone would seem like a year.
00:12:35Oh, but ten days isn't a long time, darling.
00:12:37If you're not back by then, I'm coming after you.
00:12:42Well, I can't see why you had to send Dick, that's all.
00:12:46You knew I wanted him at my party tomorrow night.
00:12:49Well, I think under the circumstances I did what was best.
00:12:52Oh, you mean the girl in the office?
00:12:54Yes.
00:12:55Why don't you fire her? Why do you keep her around?
00:12:57That's what I intend to do, my dear.
00:12:59In fact, I've just sent for her.
00:13:04Uh, Mr. Martin wants to see you in his office right away.
00:13:08I'd, uh, rather you waited in the other room.
00:13:11I'm staying right here.
00:13:13I want to get a close look at her.
00:13:15Do you think she's pretty?
00:13:16Well, how should I know?
00:13:19You sent for me?
00:13:20Yes, yes.
00:13:21Uh, come in.
00:13:22How do you do, Miss Martin?
00:13:23Is it any of your business?
00:13:26I have a report here on you, Miss Jones.
00:13:30Oh, I see.
00:13:33I have a report here on you, Miss Jones.
00:13:40You mean you've been spying on me?
00:13:41The carried people in my office must be above reproach.
00:13:45According to this, you're not known in Cortland,
00:13:49the town where you said you were born.
00:13:51I needed work.
00:13:52I had no references.
00:13:54This report should prove very interesting to Dick Hamilton.
00:13:58I don't believe you're contemptible enough to show it to Dick.
00:14:01No man will believe in a girl who lies about her past
00:14:04and refuses to give an account of herself.
00:14:06I'll tell Dick all he wants to know about me when the time comes.
00:14:10You mean to tell me that you're not hiding something?
00:14:12Something disgraceful?
00:14:14What I'm hiding, Mr. Martin, concerns myself and one other person.
00:14:19Dishonesty of some sort, whatever it is.
00:14:22And I'll not have the son of my old friend mixed up with you.
00:14:25Perhaps Dick will have something to say about that.
00:14:27He's of age, you know.
00:14:29I see what you're getting at.
00:14:32You think I can't keep his money from him.
00:14:34We'll both work. We won't need a lot of money.
00:14:37You'll be telling us next that you and Dick are engaged.
00:14:40We are.
00:14:42Oh, what a laugh.
00:14:45What's your price?
00:14:47I have no price, Mr. Martin.
00:14:49And I've had about all the insults from you I intend to take.
00:14:52Now, now, now, I'm only trying to be fair,
00:14:55compensate you and all that sort of thing.
00:14:57I've never been really fair to anyone, Mr. Martin.
00:14:59You're being impertinent, Miss Jones.
00:15:01That's your name for it.
00:15:02You'll be sorry for this.
00:15:03Perhaps you will, too.
00:15:05I'm still offering a fair price.
00:15:08I have nothing to sell.
00:15:09I'll say you haven't.
00:15:11Connie.
00:15:14Hadn't you better think this over a bit?
00:15:16If you're so sure Dick won't believe in me,
00:15:18why are you trying to buy me off?
00:15:20Because I know girls of your type.
00:15:22I'm trying to save him from a breach of promise suit.
00:15:26Unspeakable cad.
00:15:27Get out.
00:15:29You'll find your pay envelope at the cashier's office.
00:15:41Perhaps I ought to.
00:15:42Ought to what?
00:15:47It doesn't matter.
00:15:49Some other time.
00:15:56You should have gone into your dance.
00:15:58Your song didn't get over.
00:16:06Haskell.
00:16:07Yes, sir?
00:16:08I want that girl watched.
00:16:09For every move reported.
00:16:12And mark this.
00:16:14She's not to get another job in this city.
00:16:45Who is it?
00:16:46Me.
00:16:49Have you got a match?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:54Thanks.
00:16:56Go ahead and read your letter.
00:16:57Don't mind me.
00:16:59I'll read it later.
00:17:01Love letter?
00:17:02Mm-hmm.
00:17:03Oh, so your boyfriend's out of town.
00:17:05Yeah.
00:17:10Been spending late hours at the office?
00:17:12Been looking for work.
00:17:14Gee, kid, don't tell me you've lost your job.
00:17:17Yes, I did.
00:17:18Well, that's tough with your boyfriend away, too.
00:17:21Well, I'll find another.
00:17:23Another boyfriend?
00:17:24No, another job.
00:17:26Well, that ain't so easy.
00:17:28I know a dame that's been pounding the pavements
00:17:30for five months looking for work.
00:17:37Say, I've got an idea for you.
00:17:41We could use another gal down at the joint where I work.
00:17:44I'll speak to the boss about it.
00:17:46That's fine.
00:17:47Thanks.
00:17:48Oh, that's all right.
00:17:49I'm big that way.
00:17:50What sort of work is it?
00:17:51Oh, it's, um, hostessing in a nightclub.
00:17:54I wouldn't know what to do.
00:17:56Oh, they'll tell you what to do.
00:17:58All you have to have is a figure and a few rags.
00:18:01Oh, I see.
00:18:02No, I couldn't do that.
00:18:04Are you going to wait five months for a job,
00:18:06or are you going to let a gal like you steer you
00:18:08into some real dough?
00:18:10Well, thanks a lot, but I think I'll
00:18:12try to get a regular job in an office.
00:18:15It's kind of tough on the shoe leather.
00:18:17It will work out.
00:18:19But if you change your mind, just come and see me.
00:18:22Thanks.
00:18:24Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
00:18:30You're sure that's all of them up to date?
00:18:32Say, I don't hang out of my window
00:18:34waiting for Uncle Sam three times a day for nothing.
00:18:37We won't talk about that if you please.
00:18:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:18:41I'm sure you're not.
00:18:42I'm sure you're not.
00:18:44I'm sure you're not.
00:18:45I'm sure you're not.
00:18:47I'm sure you're not.
00:18:48I'm sure you're not.
00:18:49I'm sure you're not.
00:18:50I'm sure you're not.
00:18:51I'm sure you're not.
00:18:52We'll talk about that if you please.
00:18:53And no mention of this outside the office.
00:18:56Don't worry.
00:18:57I like to call my numbers.
00:18:59I don't want one pinned on me.
00:19:01I think that's all, Miss Sprague.
00:19:05Gee, that guy must be going nuts out there
00:19:08wondering why she don't get his letters.
00:19:10Why, uh...
00:19:11I see he won't be back for four weeks.
00:19:13And where did you see that?
00:19:14Oh, I read all his letters.
00:19:16You know, I get quite a kick out of this plight of tripe.
00:19:19So long.
00:19:22I'll have your room ready in no time, sir.
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:27Couldn't pay the rent, huh?
00:19:33No, these six weeks.
00:19:39There you are now, sir, all ready for your thing.
00:19:50Everything clean like and all.
00:19:52Not hard to follow that girl.
00:19:54Her being doesn't pay my rent.
00:19:56And if I ain't got the money, the landlord don't wait on me.
00:19:59Six weeks.
00:20:00I've been real liberal.
00:20:04Well, you needn't stand there looking at me like that.
00:20:07This ain't no charitable institution.
00:20:09Then where can I go?
00:20:10I ain't caring where you go.
00:20:12I've been telling you for five weeks I had to have my money.
00:20:15Nobody pays my bills.
00:20:16Nobody helps out.
00:20:19Can't I help you, sister?
00:20:22No, thanks.
00:20:30I don't believe a word of it.
00:20:31Not a word.
00:20:32Well, I was just as low as you are to believe anything against her.
00:20:35Then why did you?
00:20:36Well, in the first place, that falsehood about where she was born.
00:20:40That doesn't prove anything against her.
00:20:48How do you do, Miss Price?
00:20:55I've got to see Mr. Martin.
00:20:57I'm sorry.
00:20:58Mr. Martin is much too busy to see anyone today.
00:21:00Oh, but I've got to see him.
00:21:03I'll sit here and wait until I can.
00:21:22Oh, uh, tell him to come tomorrow.
00:21:25Yes, Mr. Martin.
00:21:27And, uh, get Haskell for me right away.
00:21:30Yes, he's here now.
00:21:31Good.
00:21:35I'm going to see her.
00:21:36I won't believe anything until she tells me herself.
00:21:38Well, you know no girl is going to admit anything irregular.
00:21:41Jenny would.
00:21:42I'd bank on her honesty.
00:21:44Oh, uh, Dick.
00:21:47Why, you haven't told me how you found things.
00:21:50Oh.
00:21:51I got a good man to assist Simpson.
00:21:53That's fine.
00:21:54Splendid.
00:21:55But how are things in general?
00:21:56Oh, all right, I guess.
00:21:57Uh, I'll talk to you about it later.
00:21:59Uh, you know, I was thinking that we might give Simpson a raise.
00:22:02Mr. Martin will see you in the morning and not until then.
00:22:08But if I don't see him now, I don't know what I'll do.
00:22:11Mr. Martin will see you in just a few moments, Mr. Haskell.
00:22:13Okay.
00:22:14Couldn't I...
00:22:15I told you in the morning, Miss Jones.
00:22:19In the morning.
00:22:21I don't suppose it occurs to him or to you either that night comes before morning.
00:22:28John Martin coming.
00:22:30No, I'm very sorry.
00:22:42Dick.
00:22:43Oh, hello, Connie.
00:22:44Oh, you've been gone centuries.
00:22:46Well, not quite that long.
00:22:48Oh, longer.
00:22:49Well, it's nice of you to say that anyway.
00:22:52Well, I've got to be going.
00:22:53I'm sorry.
00:22:54Well, don't be silly.
00:22:55You're going to have dinner with us.
00:22:56Oh, not tonight.
00:22:57Some other night.
00:22:58You see, I just got off the train.
00:22:59I'm a little dirty.
00:23:00Oh, you're no meanie.
00:23:01Dick, where will you be a little later?
00:23:03I may want you.
00:23:04Well, in my apartment until I'm cleaned up.
00:23:06And after that?
00:23:07I don't know.
00:23:09Good night, Connie.
00:23:28Say, you're hungry, aren't you?
00:23:32Yes, I am.
00:23:35In fact, I haven't eaten for two days.
00:23:38We've got to do something about that.
00:23:41I see no reason why you should concern yourself
00:23:43about my hard luck.
00:23:44Well, I'd be a little less than human if I wasn't concerned.
00:23:48Less than human?
00:23:51I know a man like that.
00:23:53Come on, now.
00:23:54I'm going to see that you get something to eat.
00:23:57I guess I better.
00:23:58I'm beginning to feel a little bit wobbly.
00:24:02Now, now.
00:24:03Just a minute, Dick.
00:24:04I know you're upset about this whole thing, but.
00:24:07You're darn right I'm upset.
00:24:08Jenny wouldn't go to a place like that.
00:24:10If anybody said they saw her there,
00:24:11they're either lying or they mistook somebody else for her.
00:24:14Well, I'm sorry, my boy.
00:24:15But she's at the Parisian Cafe this very minute.
00:24:25C'est tout, monsieur?
00:24:29It's too good to be true.
00:24:31Well, suppose you sample it and find out.
00:24:34Aren't you eating?
00:24:35Oh, I had mine earlier.
00:24:37Now, you go ahead and eat before it gets cold.
00:24:42Just the smell makes me a little faint.
00:24:45Here, here.
00:24:46We can't have that.
00:24:48What you need is a good stimulant.
00:24:51I don't, I don't drink.
00:24:53Oh, now, you needn't be afraid.
00:24:54This won't hurt you.
00:24:55Here, take it.
00:24:57Come on, now.
00:24:58Bottoms up.
00:24:59Bottoms up.
00:25:24I'll be all right in a minute.
00:25:49Here, here, here.
00:25:50You've got to eat something now.
00:25:51Go ahead.
00:26:07Ah, now, little sweetheart, mustn't drink so much.
00:26:11It's too early to pass out.
00:26:16Well, what are you standing there staring at?
00:26:18We came here for a little privacy.
00:26:20Drunk.
00:26:21Say, scram, you.
00:26:23This is my party.
00:26:32It's all right now.
00:26:33Sit down.
00:26:34No, let me go.
00:26:35Let me go.
00:26:36You've got to eat something.
00:26:37You've got to eat something.
00:27:02Come on, give me another kiss.
00:27:11No, you're too drunk to know what you're getting,
00:27:13and you guys only pay for what you know about.
00:27:16Good night.
00:27:17I want another kiss.
00:27:18Take him home, brother.
00:27:19Good night.
00:27:21All right.
00:27:22Good night.
00:27:23Good night.
00:27:24All right.
00:27:38Jenny.
00:27:39Jenny.
00:27:41What a poor kid.
00:27:44Hey, Mrs. Kelly.
00:27:45Mrs. Kelly.
00:27:49What do you mean, waking people up this hour of the night?
00:27:51Get a glass of water, quick.
00:27:52It's Jenny.
00:27:53The kid's fainted.
00:27:55Fainted?
00:27:59What a nerve of her.
00:28:02Come on.
00:28:03Snap out of it, baby.
00:28:05It's a darn shame.
00:28:07A bunch of us ganging up on you.
00:28:09Come on, kid.
00:28:11Getting people out of bed this time of night.
00:28:14You saw the life of such a thing here.
00:28:16Yeah, give me that.
00:28:17Oh, she's shamming.
00:28:18That's what she's doing.
00:28:19Shamming my eye.
00:28:20Throw it in her face, and you'll see
00:28:21how quick she'll come out of it.
00:28:22Oh, shut up, you old bastard.
00:28:23Oh, none of your lip, miss.
00:28:25Hm.
00:28:26What's the matter?
00:28:27What's happened?
00:28:28Come on, you eggs.
00:28:29Help get her upstairs.
00:28:30Take this, and you get a doctor.
00:28:31Oh, and me be responsible for the bill?
00:28:33Not much.
00:28:34Oh, I'll be responsible for it.
00:28:35Get a move on, you.
00:28:36Oh, you.
00:28:37Got a heart about as big as a piece of rice.
00:28:48Starvation.
00:28:49Nervous shock.
00:28:51You mean she's awful sick?
00:28:53She'll need the best of care.
00:28:56Are you a friend of hers?
00:28:58I've been about as friendly as a rattlesnake.
00:29:00Well, I'm a poor woman, but she can have her room back.
00:29:03She has to go to a hospital.
00:29:05Gee, is it as serious as that, Doc?
00:29:08It's very serious.
00:29:10If she hasn't any money, we'll have to send
00:29:12her to the general hospital.
00:29:13Will you listen to me, old sore bone?
00:29:15She ain't going to no general hospital, see?
00:29:17She's going to have the best that money can buy.
00:29:20Is there a phone I can use to call an ambulance?
00:29:23Oh, yes, right.
00:29:24Right over there on the table.
00:29:30I said the best that money can buy, honey.
00:29:36And when I said she was going to have the best
00:29:38that money could buy, I meant just that, see?
00:29:40And what has all this to do with me, I'd like to know?
00:29:44Just this, that it's your money I'm talking about.
00:29:48My money?
00:29:49Yeah.
00:29:50Just so you get this straight, Jenny Jones
00:29:53is in the Good Hope Sanitarium in the swellest room
00:29:56they've got, $40 a day with the best nurses and doctors.
00:30:00So what?
00:30:01So you're going to foot the bill,
00:30:03and you're going to like it.
00:30:05Say here, young woman, you're fired.
00:30:07Oh, why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:30:10You were fired when I found that poor little kid
00:30:12crumpled up on the stairs.
00:30:13That's about all out of you, Miss Sprague.
00:30:15No, it isn't.
00:30:16You're going to find out what I think of you,
00:30:18you dirty, sneaking, filthy rat.
00:30:20Get out.
00:30:21No, I won't.
00:30:22Not until you tell me where you're hiding that sap dick.
00:30:24I told you, he left this morning.
00:30:26And I said where.
00:30:27And I told you on a boat.
00:30:28And I say what boat?
00:30:29How can I tell you something I don't know?
00:30:31Well, maybe for once in your life,
00:30:33you're telling the truth.
00:30:34But when that punk returns, I want to know about it, see?
00:30:38And just to make sure I'll be up here from time to time.
00:30:41No, you're not.
00:30:42I won't have you coming in here.
00:30:44You'd better be careful what you say to me.
00:30:47Are you threatening me?
00:30:49You're writing your own ticket, chump.
00:30:55And just one more thing.
00:30:57You're going to come through with a dough
00:30:58to take care of Jenny or...
00:31:00Or what?
00:31:01Or your name will be plastered all over every newspaper
00:31:03in this town in a way you won't like.
00:31:06Why, you don't know anything about me.
00:31:09Don't be so sure about that.
00:31:12There, aren't they beautiful?
00:31:14Where's the card?
00:31:15That's more important than the flowers.
00:31:24When are they going to let me see him?
00:31:26I feel fine now.
00:31:27I'll speak to the doctor again, miss.
00:31:28You've been very ill, you know.
00:31:30Yes, I know.
00:31:31But if I could only see him for a minute.
00:31:32Or hear his voice over the telephone.
00:31:34If they'd only let me do that, why,
00:31:35I'd be better in no time.
00:31:37Now, please, Miss Jones.
00:31:38You mustn't get excited like this.
00:31:39But there's something he misunderstands, don't you see?
00:31:41Why, if he misunderstood, he wouldn't send you
00:31:43all these lovely flowers.
00:31:45But he won't believe until I explain.
00:31:47There, there.
00:31:48You just relax.
00:31:49You'll make yourself ill again.
00:31:51I'm sorry.
00:31:52I'll try.
00:31:53That's a good girl.
00:31:54But you will speak to the doctor.
00:31:56You bet I will.
00:31:58Dick.
00:32:08I don't know what we're going to do.
00:32:09She's been begging me to see if you wouldn't let
00:32:11her talk to him on the phone.
00:32:13Well, I don't know where he is.
00:32:14I've sent more cables than the Navy sent during the war.
00:32:17And maybe you don't think it's cost me something doing it.
00:32:20It's getting so every time I go in the park,
00:32:22the cops look at me suspiciously.
00:32:24You receive no replies?
00:32:25Not a peep.
00:32:26I'm afraid we'll have to tell her.
00:32:28What?
00:32:29After me spending all that dough and staying up nights
00:32:31copying his moniker on cards?
00:32:33Copying his moniker?
00:32:34Yeah.
00:32:35You see, I saw it on a bunch of his letters once.
00:32:38But don't remind me of that either.
00:32:41Gee, I wish you'd let me take her out of this morgue.
00:32:44You said it isn't doing her any good anyway.
00:32:46In her present state of mind, no.
00:32:49Ah, so it's all in her head.
00:32:51Yes.
00:32:53I know somebody that could make her forget that guy.
00:33:06Hello, Jenny old kid.
00:33:08How do you feel today?
00:33:09I feel fine, Millie.
00:33:10Oh, that's great.
00:33:12Why won't they let me see Dick?
00:33:13Won't they let you see him?
00:33:15Well, ain't that dumb.
00:33:17I ain't a doctor or anything, but I can't see how that'd hurt.
00:33:20You get the telephone and plug it in here.
00:33:22And let me talk to him.
00:33:24Well, I can't do that very well.
00:33:26You see, I talked to him on the phone myself today.
00:33:29And he's going away for a couple of weeks.
00:33:31But he sent love and everything.
00:33:34I suppose that means Mr. Martin sent him to Montana again.
00:33:37Yeah, that's the place.
00:33:39He was gone six weeks before.
00:33:41Ah, snap out of it, kid.
00:33:43Say, you're going to get out of this joint today.
00:33:46Really?
00:33:47You're coming home with me.
00:33:49Millie, you've been awfully good to me.
00:33:51Ah, cut it out.
00:33:52Anybody would be good to you, kid.
00:34:00Hello?
00:34:02Yes, this is Mr. Hamilton's residence.
00:34:04Montana yesterday.
00:34:06No, miss.
00:34:08He's been gone for two months.
00:34:10I'm not permitted to say, miss, except that he sailed.
00:34:14You say he sailed?
00:34:16Yes, miss.
00:34:18Sailed on a boat.
00:34:20And he told me before he left that that was all the information that I was to give.
00:34:24Goodbye, miss.
00:34:33Come on, kid.
00:34:34Let's have it.
00:34:36Who sent all those flowers?
00:34:38I did.
00:34:39And the cards?
00:34:41I did.
00:34:43Who paid the hospital bill?
00:34:45And the nurse and the doctor.
00:34:47Oh, I ran across a guy that had a yin to do something for somebody,
00:34:51and he paid the bill.
00:34:53Oh, my dear.
00:34:55You didn't give me a chance to explain.
00:35:01Well, I'm going to make you forget that, darling.
00:35:03Oh, don't be.
00:35:05You're not going to forget.
00:35:07Oh, you're not going to forget.
00:35:09I'm going to put you on the spokesman's list.
00:35:12I'm going to put you on the spokesman's list.
00:35:14You're not going to forget.
00:35:16You're not going to forget.
00:35:18I'm going to put you in the justice department.
00:35:20Well, I'm going to make you forget that, Guy.
00:35:39Ain't so green as it was.
00:35:42Hey, it ain't so green as it was.
00:35:45No.
00:35:50I don't mean her.
00:35:56Now what are you laughing at?
00:35:57You.
00:35:58Why?
00:35:59You're so serious.
00:36:00Sure I'm serious.
00:36:02Men are never really serious.
00:36:05But I am.
00:36:10How about it?
00:36:11About what?
00:36:13You know.
00:36:16How much do you like me?
00:36:18I'm crazy about you.
00:36:19I've heard that line before.
00:36:21Well, you needn't tell me about the other guys.
00:36:24It wouldn't take long.
00:36:26For the many?
00:36:28One.
00:36:30How many?
00:36:31One.
00:36:34Say, I'm getting kind of tired of talking to the back of your neck.
00:36:39Tell me something I want to know and I'll show you my face.
00:36:42Sure.
00:36:43What?
00:36:44How about this guy, Joe?
00:36:46Any good?
00:36:47Any good?
00:36:49Don't he own this joint?
00:36:51Ain't he the smartest guy in the racket?
00:36:54Yeah, so what?
00:36:56Well, if it's Joe, you mean he's got it up into six figures.
00:37:00How about his size?
00:37:02Is he just as black as the rest of you guys?
00:37:04Say, listen.
00:37:05I don't have to take that kind of lip for no damn.
00:37:08Oh, no?
00:37:09No.
00:37:14I've got it all mine.
00:37:16Exclusively, you mean?
00:37:17Yeah, exclusive.
00:37:19Sort of well engaged.
00:37:21Don't call it that.
00:37:23Nice people, though.
00:37:25Say, listen.
00:37:27Ooh, you scare me.
00:37:31Well, how about it?
00:37:32What?
00:37:33There you go, I told you.
00:37:35Sure, if there are any wedding bells.
00:37:39Say, if you're trying to put up a bluff, I'm going to call you.
00:37:48We are gathered here to join this man and this woman
00:37:52in the sacred bonds of matrimony.
00:37:55If anyone can show just cause
00:37:57why this man and this woman
00:37:59should not be so joined,
00:38:02let him now speak
00:38:04or forever after hold his peace.
00:38:08Do you, Joe,
00:38:10take this woman for your lawfully wedded wife
00:38:12to have and to hold
00:38:14until death do you part?
00:38:15I do.
00:38:17And you, Jenny,
00:38:19do you take this man for your lawfully wedded husband
00:38:22to love, honor, and obey,
00:38:25to care for in sickness and in health
00:38:28until death do you part?
00:38:34I do.
00:38:40I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:38:46You sure is beautiful, Mrs. Joe.
00:38:50Thanks, Ophelia, but it's the clothes.
00:38:52No, ma'am, it ain't just the clothes.
00:38:55And I know,
00:38:57I was a maid up in Mr. Joe's place for three years.
00:39:00Yes, so I heard.
00:39:02And there never was a lady
00:39:04what come up there as beautiful as you is.
00:39:06And you know who else thinks so?
00:39:08Who?
00:39:10Nobody but Mr. Joe.
00:39:16How's it, Joe?
00:39:18I see you brought a bodyguard.
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:21Hello, Bill.
00:39:23Thanks.
00:39:24He looked at me kind of funny when I asked for it.
00:39:26Well, Tuffy, I guess jewelers aren't used to seeing
00:39:29a muggle like you come in on legitimate business.
00:39:31I don't know what you want to spend
00:39:33all that kind of dough on a poor man.
00:39:35I don't know what you want to spend
00:39:37all that kind of dough on a poor man.
00:39:39I don't know what you want to spend
00:39:41all that kind of dough on a poor man.
00:39:43I don't know what you want to spend
00:39:45all that kind of dough on a poor man.
00:39:47Oh gee, that sells quite a few rocks for.
00:39:48Oh gee, that sells quite a few rocks for.
00:39:50I could have got you one,
00:39:52but 2 grand and made myself out of it.
00:39:54Yeah, this had to be on a level.
00:39:55Yeah, this had to be on a level.
00:39:56Well, thanks boys.
00:39:57I'll see you later.
00:39:58Say, Joey, I want to talk
00:39:59to you about something.
00:40:00Now, you guys are beginning to give me a pain!
00:40:02All right, come on in.
00:40:05I'll see you in a few minutes.
00:40:10You sure is going to be just too gorgeous in this dress.
00:40:14She sure is.
00:40:18Yes, sir.
00:40:21Something for you, beautiful.
00:40:23Oh, Joe, not something more.
00:40:25You're a funny little punk.
00:40:27Most dames squawk when you don't bring them things, and you squawk when I do.
00:40:31You don't have to keep giving me things.
00:40:33You make me realize what a swell person you are.
00:40:35I know it.
00:40:36That's why I'm so crazy about you.
00:40:38It makes me believe that you like me for myself instead of the things I give you.
00:40:44Oh, it's lovely, Joe, but you shouldn't.
00:40:48I'm not so good at saying those pretty things.
00:40:53I love you how much I love you.
00:40:56I'm letting them talk for me.
00:40:58You're sweet, but you don't have to do any talking.
00:41:02I know how you feel.
00:41:04You know, I figure that if I could be real nice to you,
00:41:08it'd sort of help you to forget about that other guy.
00:41:11I have forgotten him.
00:41:15I'd most likely go nuts if I thought that...
00:41:17You needn't think about him anymore.
00:41:19You won't, will you?
00:41:20Of course I won't.
00:41:23You've been more kind to me than anyone's ever been before.
00:41:26I'm not likely to forget it.
00:41:29It isn't that I've been kind to you that you like me, is it?
00:41:33I married you, didn't I?
00:41:35Sure you did.
00:41:36Isn't that proof enough?
00:41:38No.
00:41:39The mug.
00:41:40She'll slap your ass down if she sees your puppies parked up on that.
00:41:43Yeah?
00:41:44Don't let her try and get broke with me.
00:41:47I've sucked plenty of dames in my time.
00:41:56I suppose these stink pretty, too.
00:41:58Choose what a date would do to a mug.
00:42:02Break some salt.
00:42:03Hey, listen.
00:42:04You guys help me lay it on thick, see?
00:42:06So Joe will know we mean business.
00:42:07Sure.
00:42:11Take your feet off there.
00:42:13Yeah, what's the matter?
00:42:14I said take them off.
00:42:16All right.
00:42:21Now, what's on your mind?
00:42:22You know what's on our minds, Joe.
00:42:24Woodwine wants an answer.
00:42:25I'm doing all right by myself.
00:42:27Why should I cut a guy like that in for anyway?
00:42:30You know, he's a pretty big guy around here, and I don't think it'd be healthy for you to...
00:42:33My health's all right.
00:42:34If you're worried about yours, you can crawl out.
00:42:36It's okay with me.
00:42:38Oh, gee, you can't get away with ignoring him.
00:42:40And the only way to keep out of a mess is to have a showdown and come to an understanding.
00:42:44I've got an understanding with myself.
00:42:48As long as I play single-handed, I'm sure of a square deal.
00:42:50That's more than I can expect from Woodwine.
00:42:52Now, don't get me wrong.
00:42:53I don't think I'm Wilson, Joe.
00:42:54Well, you better not, because I got no room for Welshers around me.
00:42:57And get this.
00:42:58I'm not going in any other racket.
00:43:00I don't see how you can keep from it.
00:43:01Well, let's not talk about it anymore.
00:43:03If you don't like the way things are going, you know what you can do.
00:43:05It's okay with me, only I still think you ought to see him.
00:43:09Ready, Joe?
00:43:10Yes, darling.
00:43:12Scram.
00:43:14Hello there.
00:43:15Hello, Jen.
00:43:16Well, Joe, we'll see you down at Jern.
00:43:28I don't like those men, Joe.
00:43:30That makes two of us.
00:43:31I must have them, you know.
00:43:35Joe, would you do something for me?
00:43:38Why, of course I would, darling.
00:43:40Anything.
00:43:41Quit this game.
00:43:42You have plenty for us to live on.
00:43:44Yes, I know, but most of my money's tied up in the business right now.
00:43:48But I don't like it.
00:43:52Not respectable enough?
00:43:53Is that what you mean?
00:43:55Not respectable enough?
00:43:56Is that what you mean?
00:43:57Well, not that exactly.
00:44:01Maybe you should have married that other guy after all.
00:44:04You promised me not to talk about that.
00:44:06Yes, that's right.
00:44:16Well, hurry up.
00:44:17Your memory's gone haywire.
00:44:18Call Joe.
00:44:25They make it plenty tough to get in these joints,
00:44:27but once you're in, it's easy enough to drop a lot of dough.
00:44:31Does your father know you come to places like this?
00:44:33Good heavens, no.
00:44:34Dad's so infernally goody-goody, it's a wonder he didn't die young.
00:44:40Got a surprise for you.
00:44:41Surprise?
00:44:43Did you ever hear from that girl while you were away?
00:44:47If you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss it.
00:44:50You mean that it's embarrassing for you to talk about your affairs with other women,
00:44:53is that it?
00:44:54No, I mean I just don't care to talk about her is all.
00:44:57That's amusing.
00:44:58What's amusing about it?
00:45:00For you to talk like that when we're engaged.
00:45:03Still don't wish her any hard luck.
00:45:05She doesn't need your best wishes, darling.
00:45:07You get a flash of her.
00:45:16What's eating you, kid?
00:45:18Oh, I don't know.
00:45:20Just things.
00:45:28Do you mean Joe ain't good to you?
00:45:31He's too good to me.
00:45:33Gee, he's sure nuts about you, all right.
00:45:36Yes, I know.
00:45:38How about you?
00:45:40Oh, Millie, I shouldn't have done it.
00:45:42What do you mean, married him?
00:45:43It wasn't fair.
00:45:46I don't see that he's got any kick coming.
00:45:48I know.
00:45:49But just the same, it was all wrong.
00:45:54It was all my fault.
00:45:55I got you into this mess.
00:45:57Oh, no, you didn't.
00:45:58I went in with my eyes open.
00:46:04One thing, you sure got a swell bunch of rocks out of it.
00:46:07That's more than I've ever done.
00:46:10Come on, I want to try my luck.
00:46:16Dick.
00:46:18Jenny.
00:46:20Well, you look so different, I hardly recognize you.
00:46:24Dick, I've got to tell you something.
00:46:26Something you misunderstood.
00:46:28Well, there's really nothing I'd care to hear.
00:46:30Say, listen, you little punk.
00:46:32A guy that won't listen to the truth has something wrong with him.
00:46:35Jenny was framed by Martin, the double...
00:46:37I presume you know you're talking about my father.
00:46:39Yes, I'm wise to all that.
00:46:41Please, Millie, stop.
00:46:42Stop my eye.
00:46:43I've just started.
00:46:44This is something I've been saving for a long time.
00:46:47You saw her in a joint drunk, didn't you?
00:46:49And you condemned her before you knew the truth.
00:46:51Well, she was hungry.
00:46:52She hadn't eaten for two days, and she was framed.
00:46:54Now, just a minute, Millie.
00:46:56Be quiet.
00:46:57This is something you ought to know, too.
00:46:59Oh.
00:47:03Dick, I want you to know my husband.
00:47:08Dick Hamilton?
00:47:09Uh-huh.
00:47:10Well, you're not welcome. Get out.
00:47:14Gladly.
00:47:15I don't know why we ever came to this joint in the first place.
00:47:19I want to talk to you.
00:47:30Asked him to meet you here, didn't you?
00:47:32No, Joe, certainly not.
00:47:34Still love him, don't you?
00:47:35No.
00:47:36You're lying.
00:47:38Hey, Tubby.
00:47:40Go on in the office and get Jenny away from Joe...
00:47:42before he does something he'll be sorry for.
00:47:45Go on, you big lunk.
00:47:46Do your thinking afterwards.
00:47:48You're acting like a jealous fool.
00:47:50What were you pleading with him about?
00:47:51Tell me that.
00:47:52I was only trying to tell him something you misunderstood.
00:47:54Something that happened long before I met you.
00:47:56Oh, that.
00:47:57What do you want?
00:47:59That humble kid's slipping his chips in late again.
00:48:01I think you ought to talk to him.
00:48:02Throw him out.
00:48:03And don't come busting in here again.
00:48:05I'll send for you when I want you.
00:48:06All right, Joe.
00:48:14So you don't love him, huh?
00:48:15No, I told you that.
00:48:16Yeah, but I don't believe you like every other dame.
00:48:18All you're after is the dough.
00:48:20Please, Joe.
00:48:21You're hurting me.
00:48:22Help me, Joe.
00:48:23Help me, Joe.
00:48:24Help me, Joe.
00:48:25You're hurting me.
00:48:31Thought you'd make a sap out of me, didn't you?
00:48:39Well, what about it?
00:48:40He threw me out.
00:48:41Oh, the.
00:48:42Oh, I'm worried about that kid.
00:48:55What's the matter, Jenny?
00:48:56Oh.
00:48:59Keep that mob out of here and go get the cops.
00:49:01Oh.
00:49:02Oh.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:04Oh.
00:49:05Oh.
00:49:06Oh.
00:49:07Oh.
00:49:08Oh.
00:49:09Oh.
00:49:10Oh.
00:49:11Oh.
00:49:12Oh.
00:49:13Oh.
00:49:14Oh.
00:49:15Oh.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:17Oh.
00:49:18Oh.
00:49:19Oh.
00:49:20Oh.
00:49:21Oh.
00:49:22Oh.
00:49:23Oh.
00:49:25Better than a doornail.
00:49:27You didn't do it, did you, Jenny?
00:49:29No, no, no.
00:49:30Oh.
00:49:34Hey, that lady don't touch that, you sappy bunch of
00:49:36fingerprints all over it.
00:49:37Don't yell at me, you egg.
00:49:39You was out to get him, sister, and you sure done it.
00:49:47Hmm?
00:49:48Yes, what is it?
00:49:50A lady to see you, sir.
00:49:52Oh.
00:49:53A lady wants to see you, sir.
00:49:55Who is it? What time is it?
00:49:58It's Miss Briggs, sir, and it's only nine o'clock.
00:50:01Tell her I can't see her. I haven't slept all night.
00:50:05Yes, sir.
00:50:07You can't go in there!
00:50:08I don't want to see anyone stop me.
00:50:10I'm sorry, sir. What's the meaning of this?
00:50:12I have to see you right now, that's all.
00:50:15Shall I take her out?
00:50:16You lay a hand on me and I'll suck you so hard
00:50:18your shirt will run up your spine like a window shade.
00:50:23It's about Jenny.
00:50:25Take a look at this.
00:50:45It's a little different from a cottage with roses.
00:50:49Maybe you think it's a good time to do it, but I don't.
00:50:54I guess that's all it was.
00:50:56And a bad portrait.
00:50:57You're going to help her, aren't you?
00:50:59What do you expect me to do?
00:51:01The poor girl doesn't have a dime.
00:51:03She's going to need lawyers and you don't see anything.
00:51:06First of all, she didn't kill that guy.
00:51:08You mean her husband?
00:51:09Yes, her husband.
00:51:10And secondly, she wouldn't have messed with that gang
00:51:12if you hadn't yelled at her.
00:51:15Are you trying to make it look like it's all my fault?
00:51:17I don't care whose fault it is.
00:51:19I'm just trying to help Jenny.
00:51:22I'm absolutely at the end of my patience.
00:51:25You refuse to talk frankly with us
00:51:27and we're trying to help you.
00:51:29Don't you understand?
00:51:30I didn't hire you.
00:51:31That's not the point.
00:51:33If you don't mind, I'd like to know who did.
00:51:34We're interested in the insistence of a friend.
00:51:38I can guess who that is.
00:51:39I've only got one friend.
00:51:41Now listen to me, Mrs. Charney.
00:51:43Self-defense is our only plea.
00:51:45You killed your husband in self-defense.
00:51:48I did not kill him.
00:51:49Jenny, we're going to trial tomorrow.
00:51:51Do you realize that?
00:51:52Yes.
00:51:54Well, unless you give us something to work on,
00:51:56you'll be completely at the mercy of the district attorney
00:51:58when you get on the witness stand.
00:51:59I'm not going on the witness stand.
00:52:01What?
00:52:02Now, unless you give us some help,
00:52:04you'll probably go to the electric chair.
00:52:07I realize that.
00:52:08Well, don't you care?
00:52:11No.
00:52:14I give up.
00:52:16There's only one thing you can do for me.
00:52:17What's that?
00:52:19Call John Martin to the witness stand.
00:52:21John Martin?
00:52:22What's he got to do with this?
00:52:24You'll find out.
00:52:25But you'll have to tell us,
00:52:26otherwise we won't know how to question him.
00:52:28I'll tell you what to ask him, in court.
00:52:46Do you recognize this gun?
00:52:48I do.
00:52:49Tell the court, please, what your findings were
00:52:51in regard to the fingerprints on this gun.
00:52:55The fingerprints were identical with those of the defendant.
00:52:59Of Jenny Jones Charney?
00:53:01Yes.
00:53:02Were there any other fingerprints on the gun?
00:53:05No, there were not.
00:53:06Thank you, that is all.
00:53:08Your witness.
00:53:09No questions.
00:53:12Call T.M. Kraft.
00:53:14Call T.M. Kraft.
00:53:15T.M. Kraft, take the stand.
00:53:22Raise your right hand and put your left hand on the Bible.
00:53:25You solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give
00:53:27is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
00:53:29so help you God.
00:53:30I do.
00:53:31What's your full name?
00:53:32Toby Kraft.
00:53:33Take a chair.
00:53:36Mr. Kraft.
00:53:38You knew the murdered man, Joseph Charney?
00:53:40Yes, sir.
00:53:41Me and Joe have been pals for about 10 years.
00:53:43And you were in the confidence of the murdered man.
00:53:45That is, he talked things over with you, did he not?
00:53:48Yes, sir.
00:53:48He told me most everything.
00:53:50Did he ever talk to you about his wife, the defendant?
00:53:54Yeah, a lot of times.
00:53:56He was kind of scared of her.
00:53:58Afraid of her?
00:53:59Why?
00:54:00Because he figured she'd plug him someday.
00:54:02I object.
00:54:03Objection sustained.
00:54:06Did Joe ever tell you his reason for being afraid of his wife?
00:54:10She was always asking for diamonds, not a junk.
00:54:12And Joe, he'd give her anything just to keep her quiet.
00:54:15He's a double-crossing liar.
00:54:17And you say they quarreled?
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:23Can you recall those occasions?
00:54:25Well, both times it was on account of this other guy,
00:54:26what used to be her sweetie.
00:54:29You mean Mr. Richard Hamilton?
00:54:30Yeah, I guess that's the guy's moniker.
00:54:33What did the defendant say?
00:54:35That she'd plug him if he ever mentioned him.
00:54:38Tell me, Mr. Kraft.
00:54:39Were you present the night of the shooting?
00:54:41Yes, sir.
00:54:42Tell the court, please, just what happened.
00:54:45Well, this other guy...
00:54:46You mean Mr. Hamilton?
00:54:47Yeah, he comes into Joe's joint with a dam.
00:54:50Go on.
00:54:51Well, Jenny, she sees him, jumps up, and he starts to gab.
00:54:54And then Joe, he comes in.
00:54:56And he tells this other guy to scram.
00:54:57Well, that'd make Jenny sore.
00:54:59Well, anyhow, Joe takes Jenny into his office.
00:55:02Well, then Millie...
00:55:03Millie?
00:55:04Who is Millie?
00:55:05You know Millie Sprague?
00:55:06She's a hostess over at Joe's joint.
00:55:08Continue, please.
00:55:09Well, she says, tell me, you better go in there.
00:55:10It looks like a fight.
00:55:12So I goes in.
00:55:13Well, Joe, he tells me to beat it.
00:55:15Well, then I see the dam has a gap.
00:55:17You mean Mrs. Charney had a revolver?
00:55:19Yes, sir.
00:55:20That's enough.
00:55:22Your witness.
00:55:28What is your business, Mr. Kraft?
00:55:30Well, I make deals.
00:55:31What kind of deals?
00:55:32Oh, racing, things and such.
00:55:34You're a gambler.
00:55:35I object, Your Honor.
00:55:36Objection sustained.
00:55:39You say you heard the defendant twice.
00:55:42Will you tell the court when that was?
00:55:44Well, I don't remember the exact dates,
00:55:45but once was in the apartment,
00:55:47and the other time was the night she killed him.
00:55:49I asked the court to strike the last half of that answer
00:55:51from the record.
00:55:52The witness did not see the defendant kill her husband.
00:55:55Change that to read the night of the murder.
00:55:59The second threat you say occurred in Joe Charney's office?
00:56:02Yes, sir.
00:56:03The time you saw the defendant with the gun?
00:56:04Yes, sir.
00:56:05What'd she say?
00:56:06That she'd plug him if he didn't quit talking about her sweetie.
00:56:08Those were her words?
00:56:09As near as I remember.
00:56:10Had you any reason for wanting the deceased out of the way?
00:56:13I object, sustained.
00:56:15There was a second door at the office, was there not?
00:56:17Yes.
00:56:18Who had keys to that door?
00:56:20Well, there was only one, and Joe, he had.
00:56:21Are you sure of that?
00:56:22As far as I know.
00:56:23Was that door always kept locked?
00:56:25Yes, sir.
00:56:26To your knowledge, did the deceased have any enemies?
00:56:29Well, you see, a guy what's in a racket
00:56:31always has somebody in him.
00:56:32Do you know who those enemies were?
00:56:33No, sir, I don't.
00:56:34You were in his office, and he never told you
00:56:36who his enemies were?
00:56:37No, sir, he didn't.
00:56:39Earlier in the evening, before the murder,
00:56:42you and two associates of yours went to Joe Charney's apartment,
00:56:46didn't you?
00:56:47I object, Your Honor.
00:56:48The question is irrelevant, immaterial,
00:56:50and has no bearing on the case.
00:56:51What point is defense trying to make
00:56:53for this line of questioning?
00:56:54That someone other than the defendant
00:56:56was implicated in the murder.
00:56:58Objection overruled.
00:57:00Will you tell the court the object of your visit
00:57:04to Joe Charney's house just before the murder?
00:57:06Sure.
00:57:07We were going to deliver a diamond bracelet
00:57:09that Joe had given to his wife.
00:57:11Why did you take these other two men with you?
00:57:13Well, sort of a bodyguard.
00:57:15You see, them rocks would weigh 10,000 berries.
00:57:17Oh, uh, was the meeting with Joe Charney
00:57:20altogether friendly?
00:57:21Why, sure.
00:57:23You deny, then, that you had an argument with Joe?
00:57:25I wasn't arguing, I tell you.
00:57:26It might have been a matter of guys.
00:57:28Who were the other two men?
00:57:29Bill Decker and Charlie Benson.
00:57:31Well, tell the court what you were arguing about.
00:57:33I wasn't arguing, I tell you.
00:57:34It was them.
00:57:35Very well, what was it about?
00:57:37I don't just remember.
00:57:39But I think it was about the diamonds
00:57:40costing too much dough.
00:57:41You refuse to remember what else?
00:57:42I don't remember.
00:57:45That's all.
00:57:47The state has no further witnesses.
00:57:50Call John Martin.
00:57:52John Martin, take the stand.
00:58:00Raise your right hand, put your left hand on the Bible.
00:58:03You shall not swear...
00:58:04Willingly.
00:58:05...or you're about to give the truth,
00:58:06the whole truth, nothing but the truth,
00:58:07so help you God.
00:58:07I do.
00:58:08What's your full name?
00:58:09John Martin.
00:58:10Take a chair.
00:58:11Are you sure you want to go through with this?
00:58:14Yes, I do.
00:58:21You know the defendant in this case, do you not, Mr. Martin?
00:58:24Yes, she was in my employ.
00:58:26I discharged her for impertinence.
00:58:29Was this impertinence you referred to
00:58:31the result of your having her trailed by private detectives?
00:58:33It was my duty to see that Mr. Hamilton didn't marry
00:58:36someone who was not a good woman in every respect.
00:58:39You believe then that Jenny Jones,
00:58:41Johnny the defendant, is not a good woman?
00:58:43I had reason to believe she was not a truthful one.
00:58:47Did you instruct your detectives
00:58:49to get something on Jenny Jones?
00:58:51Well, I told them to learn whatever they could.
00:58:54Your Honor, I have no desire to appear in this case.
00:58:57I don't understand why I've been dragged into it.
00:58:59We will kindly answer the questions put to you by counsel, Mr. Martin,
00:59:02without further comment to the court.
00:59:04I apologize for the witness, Your Honor,
00:59:06and ask for the court's indulgence for a moment.
00:59:09Granted.
00:59:13We're gaining nothing by this.
00:59:17Please continue.
00:59:23Mr. Martin,
00:59:25what were the findings of your private detectives?
00:59:29Such as to convince me that Jenny Jones was a thoroughly bad girl.
00:59:33That's a lie!
00:59:34The defendant will kindly refrain from any more such demonstrations.
00:59:39Counsel, continue.
00:59:41You have a daughter of your own, have you not, Mr. Martin?
00:59:44I have.
00:59:45She is now engaged to Richard Hamilton, is she not?
00:59:48I object, Your Honor. The question has no bearing on the case.
00:59:50I must confess to being at complete loss
00:59:52as to the motive of defense in questioning this gentleman.
00:59:55However, I'm resigned to indulging the defense still further
00:59:59in the hope that the motive will appear.
01:00:01Your answer, Mr. Martin?
01:00:03Yes, my daughter is engaged to Richard Hamilton.
01:00:08How would you like to have your daughter, your own flesh and blood,
01:00:12in the place of Jenny Jones?
01:00:14Objection, Your Honor.
01:00:15I think the witness should answer, Your Honor.
01:00:17I can't see what possible bearing it can have on the case.
01:00:20Objection sustained.
01:00:22That's all. Your witness. No cross-examination.
01:00:28The guy can't hang around this joint all day.
01:00:32You go when we go.
01:00:33I don't want to be until we can use our way out.
01:00:44I ask you, gentlemen, to realize that the State has utterly failed
01:00:49to make a case against Jenny Jones Charney.
01:00:52Can we conscientiously take the word of this confessed...
01:00:56...Mr. Kraft...
01:00:58...against this girl whom the world has used so cruelly?
01:01:03Innocent, honest, clean.
01:01:09Can we say the same thing for this man?
01:01:12The State's principal witness?
01:01:14What are the facts in the case?
01:01:17There is only one.
01:01:19Joe Charney was shot to death.
01:01:21That we know.
01:01:23But who fired the shot?
01:01:24No one knows.
01:01:26Remember, the State has failed to produce an eyewitness.
01:01:31You have been listening to circumstantial evidence.
01:01:33Circumstantial evidence, gentlemen...
01:01:37...on which the State asks you to send this girl...
01:01:40...still in her twenties and unquestionably innocent...
01:01:44...to the electric chair.
01:01:48What you're saying to yourselves...
01:01:50...her fingerprints and her fingerprints alone were found on the gun.
01:01:55Gentlemen, Joe Charney was a member of the underworld.
01:02:00He had enemies among gangsters...
01:02:02...and gangsters know how to prevent the finding of damaging fingerprints.
01:02:09We have told you how those murderous shots were fired from the door...
01:02:13...behind Jenny's back.
01:02:16How the gun was thrown into her lap and how innocently she picked it up...
01:02:20...and left those damaging fingerprints upon it.
01:02:23I ask you to look at this girl.
01:02:26This girl accused here today of murder.
01:02:31And if you see anything there but innocence, truth and gentility...
01:02:36...then my judgment of human nature has become strangely warped.
01:02:42But if, on the contrary, gentlemen...
01:02:45...you see here a hard, cruel, bad, ruthless woman...
01:02:51...capable of pointing a gun at a man's heart and pulling the trigger...
01:02:56...then go to your jury room and find any verdict you see fit.
01:03:03I thank Your Honor.
01:03:08Your Honor.
01:03:12Gentlemen of the jury, you have been kept far too long...
01:03:14...listening to a plea as emotionally dramatic as it was false.
01:03:19I shall endeavor to be brief.
01:03:21I have been studying the murderess in this case throughout the entire trial...
01:03:25...which I presume you have also.
01:03:27In my many years of experience before the bar...
01:03:30...I have never encountered, not even in the hardest criminal...
01:03:33...a person so totally lacking in human emotion and remorse...
01:03:38...a gangster's mom, a gunwoman...
01:03:42...a cold-blooded murderess who slew the husband who loved and trusted her.
01:03:46And why? What was her motive?
01:03:49Because a former lover had come back into her life.
01:03:52A man who she still loved, even though the wife of Joseph chopped...
01:03:56...is why she wanted her husband out of the way.
01:04:00I realize the difficulty under which the learned counsel...
01:04:03...for the defense has labored to save his client.
01:04:06A client so guilty, gentlemen...
01:04:08...that she did not dare take the witness stand in her own defense...
01:04:11...and face the prosecution.
01:04:13And now, gentlemen, in conclusion...
01:04:15...I am sure that when you have considered the testimony in this case...
01:04:18...you cannot do other than be convinced...
01:04:20...that this woman accused of a capital crime is guilty...
01:04:23...as charged...
01:04:33Gentlemen of the jury...
01:04:36...you have listened attentively to the arguments of counsel.
01:04:39I now charge you that you are to disregard everything that you have heard...
01:04:43...during the course of this trial, save only the actual facts...
01:04:47...immediately bearing upon the case.
01:04:49Even if you are convinced that the defendant has been a gunwoman...
01:04:54...a gangster's member, that she is not on trial for her morals...
01:04:58...she is being tried here for the murder of her husband.
01:05:02And the only point for you to decide...
01:05:05...is whether, in the private office of Joseph Charney...
01:05:09...she did there willfully and deliberately fire three shots...
01:05:12...into his body and kill him.
01:05:14That is all.
01:05:16You will now retire and consider your verdict.
01:05:19Everybody rise.
01:05:29Hey, don't be in a hurry. You're going with us.
01:05:36Jenny.
01:05:39Yes, Dick?
01:05:41I want you to know that I'm ready to do whatever I can.
01:05:44Thanks.
01:05:46Care about anything else?
01:05:48I'll be waiting for you.
01:05:50There's no use waiting. They're not going to turn me loose.
01:05:54But I'll never forget you, Dick. Come, Mrs. Charney.
01:05:57Never.
01:06:01We did the best we could.
01:06:03Well, it wasn't good enough.
01:06:09Say, what's eating you guys anyway?
01:06:10Double crossing, I guess.
01:06:12Why, you guys are on wrong.
01:06:15I ain't done nothing.
01:06:16No, you ain't done nothing.
01:06:17But you're going to squeal on Bill when they put the clamps down on you.
01:06:20Wait till they straighten out that broken English of yours.
01:06:23Now, wait a minute. I ain't done nothing at all.
01:06:25It's the last time, see?
01:06:27Now comes for the rest of the dough.
01:06:28What dough?
01:06:30You know what I'm talking about.
01:06:31That dough you got from the Budweiser's gang for laying Joe off.
01:06:34I gave you what I said I would.
01:06:36Well, we want it all.
01:06:37Well, wait till I come in.
01:06:39Shh.
01:06:43Hey, you, let me...
01:06:45Let me go, I tell you. Stop it.
01:06:47Let go of me, I tell you. Stop it.
01:06:50How do you like that, you rat?
01:06:52Come on, boys, take him.
01:06:54Come on.
01:06:56Come on.
01:07:06Gentlemen of the jury,
01:07:07have you arrived at a verdict?
01:07:09We have, Your Honor.
01:07:11What is it?
01:07:12We find the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment.
01:07:18The prisoner will stand.
01:07:23You have heard the verdict of the jury.
01:07:26Have you anything to say before a sentence is pronounced upon you?
01:07:32I have.
01:07:34I'll listen to what you have to say.
01:07:37I am not guilty of the murder of Joe Charney.
01:07:42For weeks before the trial, the newspaper men begged me for my story.
01:07:45They offered me a lot of money.
01:07:47I've said nothing because I want to tell it as it is,
01:07:50and not from the witness stand where the lawyers distort the truth.
01:07:56My father deserted my mother soon after they were married.
01:07:59Her letters to him were returned,
01:08:02and his lawyers wrote her that the marriage had been annulled.
01:08:04I learned all this two years ago when my mother died.
01:08:08All our lives, we've known nothing but poverty and struggle.
01:08:14I came here,
01:08:16and I did my best to find out if the marriage had been annulled.
01:08:21I found out that it was legal, and I told him.
01:08:25I also found out that he was married again and had a daughter.
01:08:29To save this girl, my half-sister, from shame and sorrow,
01:08:32I kept my identity a secret.
01:08:35I met Mr. Hamilton.
01:08:38We fell in love.
01:08:40And we would have been married if it hadn't been for one man
01:08:42who separated us for his own selfish purpose,
01:08:45and who is responsible for my position today.
01:08:48That man is my own father, John Martin.
01:08:56Your Honor, obviously this woman's story has no bearing on the case.
01:09:00Your Honor...
01:09:01Mr. Clark...
01:09:01I'm here for a mistrial.
01:09:03If I had been equipped with the information
01:09:05just given to me by the defendant,
01:09:07I would have proceeded very differently.
01:09:09I believe that in time I can prove her innocent.
01:09:12There is nothing in the story we have just heard
01:09:14that has any bearing on the indictment of the state.
01:09:17And while I believe in justice tempered with mercy,
01:09:21I find it impossible to grant your request.
01:09:23The defendant has had a fair trial and has been found guilty.
01:09:27May I interrupt your Honor for a moment
01:09:29to let the court know that new evidence has just been discovered in this case?
01:09:32Unless it has direct bearing on the case, the court doesn't wish to hear it.
01:09:35Well, the murder of Johnny has just been arrested.
01:09:37On what evidence?
01:09:38Me and these two officers overheard him, big boy,
01:09:40when he was trying to collect from the guy that hired him to commit the murder.
01:09:43While he and his pal was just about ready to croak Tuffy
01:09:45because of what he said here in court,
01:09:47and it all came out and we was in on it.
01:09:49I protest, Your Honor, this is contrary to all legal procedure.
01:09:52That woman is not in the witness stand.
01:09:54Don't you point your finger at me.
01:09:55Don't you point your finger at me, you big palooka.
01:09:58You can't fry Jenny just because my Annie Faye
01:10:00ain't parked where you think it should be.
01:10:02Your Honor, this woman is guilty of contempt.
01:10:05I don't think so.
01:10:07Your Honor, I...
01:10:09Your Honor, I...
01:10:11Your Honor, I...
01:10:13Your Honor, I...
01:10:15Your Honor, I...
01:10:17Your Honor, I...
01:10:19Your Honor, I...
01:10:24Hello, Jenny, old kid.
01:10:26Gee, I thought they never was gonna let you out of that can
01:10:29so we could see you again.
01:10:31I say, you would have died laughing
01:10:34if you could see how nervous this guy's been
01:10:36ever since that trial ended in a free for all.
01:10:39I thought he was gonna have twins or something.
01:10:42Say, if no one's gonna listen to me,
01:10:45I'm gonna get out of this joint
01:10:47before I get ten years for talking to myself.
01:10:49Jenny.
01:10:51Dick.
01:10:53Say yes.
01:10:54Say yes to what?
01:10:56Oh, anything.
01:10:58Just say yes.
01:11:00Yes.
01:11:02Will you always say yes?
01:11:06Yes, yes, yes.
01:11:09Amen.
