:47:01
I ain't denyin' that. He deserved it.
:47:03
But I left this place
two minutes after I got here.
:47:06
Then I picked up a fare
three minutes later on the corner:
:47:09
Congressman Reynolds.
:47:11
Took him up to the Astor Hotel.
:47:14
- Told me...
- Check on that, Klein.
:47:16
- Yes, sir.
- Sure, check!
:47:18
Check all you want.
:47:20
And what time do you claim
you got to the Astor Hotel, Jiggs?
:47:23
About 2.40.
:47:25
Anybody see you around there?
:47:28
Yeah. Uh... Pat Rafferty
and Hymie Berg. They're taxi drivers.
:47:33
The congressman doesn't answer
in his room. Want me to run him down?
:47:37
No. No, we'll check later.
:47:39
The pier watchman was slugged at 3am
according to reports. Is that right?
:47:43
Mm-hm. Yes.
:47:45
That gives Jiggs Taylor 20 minutes
between 2.40 and 3 o'clock
:47:48
to come back here from
the Astor Hotel and do his stuff.
:47:51
He couldn't have come back here
from the Astor, killed Paine,
:47:54
lugged the body out to the car,
driven down to the pier
:47:57
and slugged the night watchman
by three o'clock, not in 20 minutes.
:48:01
Seems we're on the wrong man,
Lieutenant,
:48:03
especially if the congressman
backs him up.
:48:05
It's not the wrong man.
If Paine was already dead at 2.15
:48:08
and Taylor got the body at that time,
stuck it in the back of his car...
:48:13
Well, that's screwy!
:48:14
I told you I picked up
Congressman Reynolds.
:48:17
Sure you did. But you were on the way
to dump Paine's body
:48:20
when Reynolds hailed you.
:48:22
He took him to the hotel. 20 minutes
was enough to scoot back to the pier,
:48:26
slug the watchman at 3am
and drop Paine's body.
:48:29
Paine was out of here at 1.10
according to the old lady downstairs.
:48:32
We're wasting time, Lieutenant.
:48:34
I don't think so, Dixon.
:48:42
Bring them along.
:48:53
Did you see anybody
coming out of that building
:48:55
carrying something over
his shoulder, like a large bundle?
:48:58
- I didn't see anything like that.
- I'll take over, Casey.
