1:09:00
I'm not.
1:09:04
As your attorney, I think
you've made a bad deal.

1:09:08
While I've read the transcript
of this case...

1:09:10
...and I am familiar with some of
the things Mr. McNeal found...

1:09:15
...I'm not at all certain that
we have sufficient evidence...

1:09:18
...to obtain a pardon.
1:09:19
But you haven't seen all
the evidence yet, Mr. Burns.

1:09:22
What for instance?
- On the first place...

1:09:24
...I've talked to the
bailiff of the court.

1:09:26
He corroborated Frank's statement...
1:09:28
...that the judge promised
him a new trial.

1:09:30
What basis did he have
for making that promise?

1:09:32
I don't know.
If he made it.

1:09:33
He made it. Here is an affidavit
from the bailiff.

1:09:36
That's not proof. It's inconclusive.
1:09:38
All right, forget about that.
1:09:40
I've got a lie-detector test and...
1:09:42
...Keeler's sworn statement
that the fellow is innocent.

1:09:44
Inadmissible.
1:09:46
Gruska and Decker,
the other witnesses...

1:09:49
...maintain that Wiecek
is not the man.

1:09:51
And they also testified
that Wanda Skutnik...

1:09:53
...couldn't have recognized anybody.
1:09:55
Have you found her?
What does she say?

1:09:58
Gruska and Decker contradict her...
1:10:00
...but it is inconclusive evidence.
1:10:02
What new admissible
evidence have you?

1:10:05
There's a whole lots of new stuff.
1:10:07
The State Attorney's office tried
to keep me out of the books.

1:10:10
That's why they sent Faxon up here.
1:10:12
And another thing...
1:10:13
...why is Wanda Skutnik dame
keeping under cover?

1:10:16
A pair of mobsters
might've killed the cop...

1:10:18
...and threatened her.
1:10:20
Maybe she's trying to keep
in good with the law...

1:10:22
...she run a speakeasy.
1:10:23
Now look here, McNeal,
I'm an attorney.

1:10:26
I know what it's like to go up
before the Pardon Board.

1:10:28
They go on facts.
1:10:30
I'll give you something
better than facts.

1:10:32
I'll give you a picture.
Take a look at that.

1:10:35
Wanda Skutnik testified that
she didn't see Wiecek...

1:10:38
...from the time of the murder...
1:10:39
...until the time she identified
him on the 23rd of December.

1:10:44
Frank maintains that she did
saw him several times...

1:10:47
...on the 22nd of December when the
cops were taking him around...

1:10:50
...from station to station.
1:10:51
That bears out Frank's
story, right there.

1:10:54
There's a picture of
Frank and Wanda...

1:10:56
...going into one of the stations.
