:38:00
I just seen the front door open
when I went down the cellar.
:38:03
- What was you doing in the cellar?
- I went down to fix the fuse.
:38:06
- What fuse?
- The fuse that was blowed out.
:38:09
- How did you know it was blowed out?
- I don't know nothing.
:38:11
I was just doing what Mrs. Bellam told me.
:38:14
- And you were here reading?
- Yes.
:38:16
Ain't that late for a lady your age to be up?
:38:18
I don't think so.
:38:19
Got things on your mind that worry you?
Keep you awake?
:38:21
No, I just don't sleep much.
:38:23
- You've been working for him a long time?
- Sixteen years.
:38:26
And you knew this Phil Church
when he worked for the old man?
:38:29
Yes, indeed, I knew him.
:38:30
Now, you just sit right down here
and make yourself comfortable.
:38:33
We're gonna have a nice, long talk
about what you knew about him.
:38:37
You weren't in bed and you're all dressed.
:38:40
- Where were you?
- I was sitting here, writing.
:38:42
- Writing what?
- A play.
:38:45
Go on, what kind of a play?
:38:47
- A mystery play.
- So you write about murders?
:38:51
- Do you ever think much about murders?
- No.
:38:53
And you say
Miss MacFay and Mrs. Charles...
:38:55
were the only ones in your room
when it happened, right?
:38:58
No.
:38:59
- Then there was someone else?
- Yes.
:39:01
- Who?
- The baby.
:39:02
Yes, the baby. But not the nurse?
:39:05
No, the nurse was in her own room,
asleep, I guess.
:39:08
You'd better ask her.
Her room is across from ours.
:39:10
She ain't in there, she ain't anywhere
in the house. She's gone.
:39:14
- Personally, I think she's very wise.
- Is that so?
:39:17
This is a murder
we're trying to clear up, lad.
:39:19
So let's don't hang up on who tells what.
:39:23
Now, who gets the money?
:39:25
According to his last will...
:39:26
Miss MacFay was to get everything
but $100,000.
:39:29
That went to Mrs. Bellam.
:39:31
Well, now, what do you figure
all but $100,000 would amount to?
:39:34
Certainly several millions.
:39:36
You say you were asleep about an hour
when you heard the shot.
:39:39
I said half an hour.
:39:40
Stop wasting time here
and start looking for him.
:39:42
I got a lot of time to waste.
:39:44
Now, this Church,
you say you worked together.
:39:47
- Are you and he still pretty close?
- We were never close.
:39:50
- You didn't like each other much.
- Right.
:39:51
Are you unfriends enough
so you'd like to see him in jail...
:39:54
- or maybe the chair?
- Are you suggesting that I'd frame him?
:39:57
Now, don't get sore
over a little thing like that.
