:42:01
The way I figure it.
MacFay was lying here reading the paper.
:42:06
He puts it down...
:42:08
he turns off the lamp.
:42:11
The murderer comes in through the door...
:42:13
or the window.
:42:16
MacFay hears him, he grabs for his gun.
:42:19
It was his gun, wasn't it?
:42:21
Yes, he kept it on the table.
:42:27
From the look of this hole...
:42:29
where would you say
the bullet was fired from?
:42:31
I'd figure it come from about here.
:42:36
Then the murderer was already
bearing down on his arm...
:42:38
when MacFay got the shot away.
:42:41
Or it could've gone off
when it hit the floor...
:42:43
after the arm was broken.
:42:44
A paraffin test will show you
whether he pulled the trigger.
:42:47
Yes.
:42:49
The murderer knocked him back
on the pillow with a blunt instrument.
:42:52
Then went after him with a knife.
:42:57
Anything to show
that he came through the window?
:42:59
No, not yet.
:43:00
One of the servants said
the front door was open.
:43:02
Yes, if you and the two other gentlemen...
:43:07
came, as you said,
when the shot was fired...
:43:09
wouldn't you have seen or heard or...
:43:14
I didn't get here that quickly.
The lights went out.
:43:17
An electrician can tell you
what happened...
:43:20
when the wires were cut from that lamp.
:43:22
Electrician. Yes.
:43:24
Did you people have a man
watching Church?
:43:26
Well, not exactly. I suppose I should have.
:43:30
The Colonel was always yelling,
imagining things...
:43:33
which you know yourself
is all pretty ridiculous.
:43:35
Could've been turned into
a practical joke, couldn't it?
:43:38
Then you didn't have...
:43:41
You didn't have a heavy-set man
with thick glasses watching Church?
:43:45
- No.
- I thought not.
:43:47
I'd never seen a country cop
with a $6,000 coupé before.
:43:51
So I took down his number, I'll get it.
:43:58
- Did you get anything out of Mrs. Charles?
- No, she's bats.
