...had spent the night of
the murder at his home...

:05:04
...but insisted he knew nothing
about the crime.

:05:07
Why did Tomek want to
sleep at your house?

:05:10
He was having trouble
with his old man.

:05:12
He was afraid to go home.
:05:14
When did you last report to
the probation officer?

:05:16
- Last Friday.
- Are you sure it wasn't Thursday?

:05:19
I know it was Friday.
That was the day...

:05:21
...my wife told me she was
going to have a baby.

:05:24
You went to the probation officer
on Thursday, not Friday.

:05:27
Here's your report card.
:05:29

But I'm right about
the other thing.

:06:00
This statement was signed
by your wife an hour ago.

:06:05
'My husband was home with me
on the 9th of December.

:06:08
I remember this because he was
helping me pit dates...

:06:12
...for a cake'.
:06:14
Are you sure it was walnuts?
:06:21
I don't know.
:06:24
I'm sure she must be mistaken.
:06:34
His wife, Helen, was released.
:06:37
But, because of Frank's
confused testimony...

:06:39
...on insignificant points,
and his minor police record...

:06:43
...he was held as a suspect.
:06:59
Eventually, after hiding
up for six weeks...
