:46:02
I was working for the press
when she arrived in London.
:46:05
Not one of us succeeded
in getting an interview with her.
:46:09
Well, they said that
Big Sam sent her over there...
:46:11
to prevent her from being
charged and tried.
:46:13
But that wasn't so.
:46:15
Sending her out of the country
wouldn't have helped.
:46:17
I reckon Sam's political connections
had more to do with it.
:46:21
As I remember, the district attorney
tried hard to make the charge stick...
:46:25
but the whole thing was transferred
over to Baton Rouge.
:46:28
I reckon Sam's friends in the capitol got busy,
because nothin' ever did come of it.
:46:32
Lack of evidence
was the official explanation.
:46:36
You wouldn't think so
from the headlines.
:46:38
Hi, Mr. Blake.
Thanks for the use of the hall.
:46:41
Tell me, are you running anything
on the return of Miriam Deering?
:46:45
Just an insert
in the social column.
:46:47
The social column. You gotta be kiddin'.
:46:50
Excuse me, Mr. Wills. This is a colleague
of yours, Mr. Marchand from New York.
:46:53
- How do you do?
- And who are you covering the story for?
:46:56
Don't worry about me, old chap.
My status is that of an amateur.
:47:01
By the way,
what journal do you represent?
:47:03
Crimes of Passion
and Century Crime Classics.
:47:05
You know, that Hollis dame hit the news
again over that business with the bridge.
:47:08
We did a special issue on her.
Here, take a look.
:47:13
No head, no hand.
Just like the way it was.
:47:16
Yes.
:47:19
- Very colorful.
- Yeah, we're really going to town on this one.
:47:24
Hey, Mr. Blake.
:47:26
You never showed me this stuff.
:47:29
Well, one thing they didn't do then was
to play up the sex angle like you can today.
:47:45
Miriam Deering.
:47:55
Miss Deering!
:47:57
My, it's good to see you back.
