Governor Baxter has not yet
signed the extradition papers.

1:06:35
Until he does, I cannot turn Mr. Allen
over to the custody of your state.

1:06:41
In view of Allen's record here
since his escape...

1:06:44
our state has authorized us
to assure you...

1:06:47
that if he'll return voluntarily...
1:06:49
and pay the state
the expense it's been put to...

1:06:52
he'll be pardoned in 90 days.
1:06:54
Why is it necessary
for my client to return at all?

1:06:57
Why mete out punishment to a man
who has proven himself a useful...

1:07:01
and honorable citizen?
1:07:02
Merely a technicality.
1:07:04
No prisoner is eligible for pardon
until he's served 90 days.

1:07:08
Does that mean
that I'll have to serve 90 days?

1:07:11
- Back on the chain gang?
- No.

1:07:14
You'll be given some clerical job
in one of the camps.

1:07:19
Well, it rests entirely with my client...
1:07:22
but I'd advise him to stay right here.
1:07:27
Gentlemen, there's someone else
I'd like to consult on the matter...

1:07:31
- if you don't mind.
- Certainly.

1:07:45
They've promised me a full pardon
within 90 days if I go back.

1:07:50
Can you trust them?
1:07:52
I don't see why not.
1:07:54
I'm giving myself up voluntarily.
1:07:57
Besides, I want to get it
all cleaned up now...
