:08:02
This is beginning to assume
fabulous aspects.
:08:04
Oh, shut up, Waldo!
What are you driving at?
:08:07
The truth, Mrs. Treadwell.
Are you in love with him?
:08:12
Why, no. I'm- I'm very fond
of Mr. Carpenter, of course.
:08:16
- Everybody is.
- I'm not. I'll be hanged if I am.
:08:19
Oh, don't be
so annoying, Waldo!
:08:21
Did you give
Mr. Carpenter money?
:08:23
- What do you mean?
- A couple of checks went through your account endorsed by him.
:08:27
One on May 15 for $250.
One on May 22 for $400.
:08:32
Oh, that. I-
:08:35
I asked him to do
some shopping for me. That's all.
:08:38
Shelby's a very obliging fellow.
:08:40
For some time, also, you've been
withdrawing various amounts in cash.
:08:44
Sometimes 1,500.
:08:47
Sometimes 1,700 at a clip.
:08:49
Yes. I needed that money.
:08:53
The day you took out $1,500,
Mr. Carpenter deposited 1,350.
:08:58
When you withdrew 1,700,
he deposited 1,550.
:09:02
Maybe they were shooting crap.
:09:04
Oh, must I be insulted like this?
:09:09
I'm sorry, Mrs. Treadwell, but I have
to find out about these things.
:09:13
Shelby needed some money, and I lent it to
him. That's all. After all, it is my money.
:09:17
- I suppose I can do as I please with it.
- Sure. Of course.
:09:20
Now, on Friday night, Mrs. Treadwell,
you stayed home alone all evening?
:09:23
- Yes.
- Why didn't you go to the concert with Shelby?
:09:27
Because he didn't ask me.
:09:30
We were just talking
about you, Carpenter.
:09:32
- What a coincidence to find you here.
- This is Lieutenant McPherson.
:09:35
- Oh, how do you do, Lieutenant?
- I didn't know you were here, Mr. Carpenter.
:09:38
As a matter of fact,
I was just lying down here.
:09:41
My hotel room was so hot, and then all
the people and reporters and telephone.
:09:45
You know how it is,
Lieutenant.
:09:47
I've hardly slept a wink
since it happened.
:09:50
Is that a sign of guilt or innocence,
McPherson?
:09:53
I'm at your disposal, Lieutenant. I'm as
eager to find the murderer as you are.
:09:56
But what possible motive
could I have for killing Laura?
:09:59
Miss Hunt and I were going to be married
this week, you know.
