They Made Me a Criminal Page #3

THIS IS THE ADDRESS?

YEAH.

NOW, DON'T BE SEEN

BY ANYBODY.

I GET YOU.

IF YOU'RE SEEN, YOU'LL

BE TRIED FOR MURDER.

DON'T TALK THAT WAY,

WILL YOU?

GROW A BEARD. DO SOMETHING

TO CHANGE YOUR APPEARANCE.

OK. I'LL DO SOMETHING.

I DIDN' FIGURE THAT...

"AND WE FIND THE DEATH OF

JOHN BRADFIELD AND GOLDIE WES "DUE TO ACCIDENTAL CAUSES

WHILE EVADING ARRES FOR THE MURDER

OF CHARLES MAGEE."

WELL, THE PAPERS

CAN'T SQUAWK THIS TIME.

A GUY IS MURDERED,

AND 6 HOURS LATER,

WE NOT ONLY DISCOVER

WHO COMMITTED THE CRIME,

BUT WE ALSO KNOW

THAT HE'S DEAD.

Man:
CAN YOU

IMAGINE THE HOWL

IF THIS HADN' HAPPENED?

KILLING A REPORTER

IS ONE THING:

THE PAPERS:

WON'T STAND FOR.

BOY, YOU SAID IT.

WELL, THAT'S THAT.

CAN I SEE YOU:

A MINUTE, INSPECTOR?

SURE. GOT A CLUE

ON THE MAGEE MURDER?

THAT'S IT EXACTLY.

I DON'T THINK

THE GUY THAT BURNED UP

WAS JOHNNIE BRADFIELD,

AT ALL.

OH, YOU'RE NUTS.

REMEMBER ME PUTTING THA WATCH ON HIS RIGHT HAND?

WELL, THE GUY THEY BROUGHT IN

HAD THAT WATCH ON, ALL RIGHT,

BUT IT WAS:

ON HIS LEFT HAND.

SO WHAT?

CAN'T A GUY

CHANGE HIS WATCH

FROM HIS RIGHT WRIST TO HIS

LEFT, FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE?

WELL, THERE ARE SOME THINGS A

GUY ALWAYS DOES THE SAME WAY,

LIKE THE SIDE HE STARTS

TO SHAVE ON THE MORNING

AND THE WAY HE:

STARTS TO DRESS.

SAME THING:

WITH A WRISTWATCH.

OH, PHELAN, YOU'VE BEEN

HANGING AROUND STIFFS SO MUCH,

YOU'RE SEEING THINGS.

THAT'S WHAT...

SEEING THINGS.

I TELL YOU:

ANOTHER THING.

THAT WATCH WAS:

IN THE THIRD HOLE.

WHEN I STRAPPED IT ON

JOHNNIE BRADFIELD'S WRIST,

I PUT I IN THE FIRST HOLE.

YOU HEARD HIM TELL ME TO DO IT HIMSELF.

SO ONE WRIST IS BIGGER

THAN THE OTHER.

DIDN'T YOU EVER

HEAR OF THAT?

MAYBE.

ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU REOPEN

THE CASE AND ASSIGN ME.

REOPEN THE CASE?

NOW GET THIS, PHELAN.

JOHNNIE BRADFIELD

MURDERED MAGEE,

AND IT WAS JOHNNIE

BRADFIELD WHO BURNED UP

ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING AT 5 A.M.

NOW LISTEN, CHIEF.

LISTEN TO WHO?

THE TROUBLE WITH YOU,

PHELAN, IS,

THAT EVER SINCE YOU RAILROADED

THE WRONG GUY TO THE HOT SEAT,

YOU BEEN SEEING THINGS.

YOU'RE SCREWY.

WHY DON'T YOU RETIRE?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

BECAUSE I'M

NOT THROUGH.

OH, YES, YOU ARE,

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IT.

I'LL SHOW YOU IF I'M THROUGH. YEAH? HOW?

I'LL PROVE THAT GUY THEY BROUGH IN ISN'T JOHNNIE BRADFIELD.

YOU WILL, HUH?

LET ME TRY.

YOU'RE AFRAID TO.

WHO, ME?

YES! YOU!

FOR 10 YEARS, YOU'VE

BEEN PICKING ON ME

JUST BECAUSE:

I MADE A MISTAKE.

WELL, MAYBE THIS

IS YOUR MISTAKE.

MAYBE IF I PROVE IT, THEY'LL

PUT YOU ON MORGUE DETAIL

LIKE YOU DID ME.

I'D LOVE TO SEE IT.

ALL RIGHT, PHELAN.

YOU GOT YOURSELF

AN ASSIGNMENT.

THANK YOU,

INSPECTOR.

NOW, BRING HIM BACK

DEAD OR ALIVE.

WHAT DID I:

TELL YOU, FELLAS?

HE'S CUCKOO,

JUST PLAIN CUCKOO.

I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU

FOR TWO DAYS.

I'VE BEEN BUSY.

I WANT TO GET OUT OF

HERE. YOU GOT MY MONEY?

YES. I GOT YOUR MONEY RIGHT HERE.

THERE'S 50, 100,

150, 200, 250.

WHAT'S THIS?

THAT'S YOURS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

THAT'S MINE?

NOW, IF I WERE YOU,

I'D PUT AS MUCH DISTANCE

BETWEEN MYSELF AND THIS CITY...

WHERE'S MY MONEY?

WHERE'S MY 10 GRAND?

THE 250 YOURS. THE REST OF IT IS MY FEE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHERE'S

THE REST OF MY 10 GRAND?

I'VE EXPLAINED I TO YOU. IT'S MY FEE.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO,

MAKE A SUCKER OUT OF ME?

WHAT DO YOU:

THINK I AM?

YOU HAND OVER THE REST OF

THAT 10 GRAND, OR I'LL...

OR YOU'LL WHAT? WELL,

YOU'LL GO TO THE CHAIR.

NOW LISTEN TO ME, AND

I'LL GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE.

DON'T USE YOUR FISTS,

OR YOU'RE COOKED.

IF YOU TAKE THA COCKEYED STANCE OF YOURS

WITH YOUR RIGHT STUCK OU AND YOUR LEFT PULLED WAY BACK,

SOMEONE IS GONNA

SPOT YOU.

WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM

TO UNDERSTAND, DORNEY...

WHAT?

JACK DORNEY.

REMEMBER THAT?

JACK DORNEY.

THINK YOU CAN:

REMEER THAT?

JACK... DORNEY.

WHAT I STARTED:

TO SAY, DORNEY...

DORNEY.

DON'T TAKE THA COCKEYED STANCE OF YOURS.

DON'T USE

YOUR FISTS AT ALL,

NOT AT ALL.

YOU'LL BE KILLING

SOME OTHER MAN,

OR IF YOU DON'T,

YOU'LL GIVE YOURSELF AWAY.

YOU'LL

GIVE YOURSELF AWAY.

ONCE THEY GET YOU,

YOUR LIFE ISN'T WORTH...

BUT DO AS I SAY,

JACK DORNEY.

STAY AWAY FROM PLACES.

STAY AWAY FROM ALL PLACES,

OUT OF SIGHT, AFRAID.

FROM NOW ON, YOU'VE GOT TO BE AFRAID.

GET ME?

YEAH. YEAH.

I GET YOU.

THAT'S MY ADVICE,

AND IT'S WORTH 10 GRAND.

HERE.

NOW BEAT IT, SUCKER.

WHAT CAN I DO:

WITH THIS?

$250?

WELL, IT'LL SEE

YOU A LONG WAY,

AND WHAT DO YOU:

WANT MORE FOR?

YOU DON'T WANT TO USE ANY

TRAIN WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO USE AN AUTOMOBILE.

YOU GO HOP A FREIGHT SO

IT WON'T COST YOU ANYTHING

AND KEEP THE MONEY

FOR FOOD.

THAT OUGHT TO LAS YOU AT LEAST 6 MONTHS.

HEY, YOU GOT YOUR

FOOT ON MY MONEY.

THAT'S WHERE

YOU'RE WRONG, BUDDY.

THAT'S MY MONEY,

NOT YOUR MONEY.

HEY,

WAIT A MINUTE.

TAKE IT EASY, MEL.

OH, SHUT UP.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

WITH YOU?

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

TAKE A WALK.

HEY, PEGGY.

HEY, PEGGY. COME HERE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

LOOK. ANOTHER TRAMP.

HEY, PIPE THE DUDE,

WILL YOU?

IMAGINE THAT... ONE LESS TREE TO PICK.

WELL, THAT WOULD

BE SWELL, HUH?

JUST ANOTHER CITY SLICKER ON THE MOOCH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HEY!

WHAT'S THE IDEA?

LOOK. WE GOT COMPANY.

A DAME?

WHERE'S THE DAME?

NO DAME, YOU DOPE.

WHY DON'T YOU CUT I OUT? YOU PICK ON ME.

I WONDER IF THERE'S A CHANCE THAT...

YES. THERE'S

A BIG CHANCE.

THERE'S A LADDER

BACK THERE:

AND SOME BASKETS

AND SOME DATES,

AND AFTER YOU PICK 3

BASKETFULS, YOU GET A HANDOUT.

OH,

I'M NO TRAMP.

HAW HAW.

I KNOW.

YOU'RE A BIG OIL MAN,

AND YOU CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN

HERE TO STUDY ABOUT ANTICLINE.

I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A

LIMOUSINE PARKED DOWN THE ROAD.

SUPPOSE I TOLD YOU I

BUT IF YOU WANT TO EAT,
