why you felt about it come on all those

monkeys are all alike the minute they're

caught they go yellow

the more I see them the more I like my

dog at least he's got integrity

uh no guess not

not conclusive you know not too reliable

as paraffin test Oh if you pick up a

suspect right away after he's fired a

gun before he has a chance to wash his

hands sometimes you get traces of powder

and soot but then it's only confirmatory

I see just something to hang a few

questions on yeah

lead more or less hold your hand loosely

relax

take a look.

I don't see a thing that's right nothing

to see I told you it wasn't too reliable

they could have washed his hands he

would have anyway probably got blood on

his hand when he pushed his pal out well

do with this same old story nobody's

ever Gilly have their suspect wait
