But we mustn't jump to conclusions.
1:04:03
But I may have a way for us
to settle this once and for all.

1:04:12
As I told you in church that day,
1:04:15
and as I've repeated many times
since the inquiry began,

1:04:19
it's obvious that the Raven
is one of you.

1:04:22
That's your opinion!
1:04:23
- It's crazy!
- He's right!

1:04:24
I've therefore decided
to have you submit to a test

1:04:27
which Dr. Vorzet, as an expert,
will explain to you.

1:04:31
Just a minute.
1:04:33
Let me remind you that I objected
to your conclusions a month ago,

1:04:38
that I object to them today,
1:04:40
and that I will object
to them tomorrow.

1:04:44
If that's your pleasure.
1:04:47
But that's a lot of objections
for so very little.

1:04:51
It's nothing more
than a little group dictation.

1:04:55
Let me explain.
1:04:57
No poison pen can print out
a thousand messages in capitals

1:05:01
without acquiring
a derivative handwriting style

1:05:05
that becomes second nature.
1:05:07
He may be able to conceal
his handwriting for an hour, two hours,

1:05:11
maybe even longer,
1:05:13
but as fatigue sets in,
1:05:16
he will revert to his real handwriting.
1:05:20
So I'm sorry to inform you
1:05:22
that this dictation
will be very, very long.

1:05:26
There are honest people here who don't
deserve such cheap police methods.

1:05:30
Dr. Bertrand...
1:05:32
honest people should
do their part to stop the guilty.

1:05:37
Pick up your pens.
I'm starting.

Letter No. 1 .

"You lecher...
