house upstairs and down yes sir nothing

that'll do much good well what's the

answer it's got me worried plenty me too

but I'm beginning to be glad that I

wasn't invited to that dinner party

years ago yeah here's the diagram young

Morgan true today take a look at the

seating arrangement first we find the

girl's body in the chair that she sat in

that night and now this are you

beginning to get the idea

gee yes ye gods Phil are they gonna

blind this table with stiffs that's the

way it looks

unless we do something but but that's

crazy it very nearly confirms one thing

though the person doing it was at the

table that night

I've gotta talk

[Applause]

No

how'd you get out of the market I

haven't been in any more

take your hands off me be nice I won't

let me alone

do you want me to spank you hold still

that's a good little girl what's your

name Marie Morgan yes what did you say I

asked this child here if she would Marie

Morgan I know child will you shut up and

she said yes and she said yes I don't

know maybe it's something I hate this is

the nightmare where did you pick her up

riding around in your car in market I

was on my way to the police station yes

and baby you're still on your way to the

police station take it out and lock her

up I've got some things I want to ask

her about you can't arrest me Oh can't I

that's what they all say

maybe it's all a mistake and maybe you

can explain everything out but you won't

say a word until you see your lawyer

well I won't all right baby come and see

your lawyer talk to a good look

marjory that's right you know anything

about it no what can this mean that's

what we're gonna find out take our luck

in the library did we get through here

what she headed for police station she

was going in that direction

call up city headquarters and report

this call a coroner and stick around

outside yes sir no why did you ask that

girl if she was Marie Morgan I think she

is what about the other Dame there are

no twins no but the other girl had

several small scars around her face

didn't you notice them yes but I didn't

think anything about it well I did

I thought she'd had her face lifted well

what a blasted idiot I have been that's

why you were so surprised when her

brother told you she was 21

certainly no kid that age is going to

have her face lifted and you beat it

back to the morgue to have another look

right and took a good plastic surgeon

with me she hadn't had her face lifted

she'd had it completely made over well

I'll be now that commenced to make sense.

Barksdale made an appointment with the

real Marie Morgan to meet him here they

planned to kill her and stuff she took

the other girl who planned to kill her

huh Barksdale made the appointment yes

but if Barksdale was in on it but she

may have been who killed the gentlemen

on your right

little bo-peep

operating

I wouldn't do that if I were you

police might not like it I was only

trying to call my brother we'll call him
