CRAIG’S WIFE
Craig
- And what realization have you of my position?
Mrs. Craig
- Never mind what realization I have; that doesn’t matter now. I simply know that the very first thing the Police do in a case of this kind is to watch the telephone calls to and from the house.
Craig
- Not from this house.
Mrs. Craig
- I mean from Fergus’ house.
Craig
- I wasn’t going to call Fergus’ house.
Mrs. Craig
- You were going to call Billy Birkmire, weren’t you?
Craig
- At his own house, yes.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, what difference does it make, Walter. Do you think those detectives can’t put two and two together? Birkmire called you last night at Passmore’s, didn’t he?
Craig
- Yes.
Mrs. Craig
- And there’s undoubtedly a record of the call.
Craig
- That wouldn’t involve my name, would it?
Mrs. Craig
- It would if the operator listened in.
Craig
- And do you think she has nothing to do but listen in on calls?
