CRAIG’S WIFE
Birkmire
- Yes, and I know who it was she was going out with, too; that’s the third time I’ve run into her with that bird lately. And I want to find out what his name is right away quick, too, for he might be in on this thing.
Craig
- Have you been out there yet?
Birkmire
- Out to Fergus’, you mean?
Craig
- Yes.
Birkmire
- Sure, I hopped right out there as soon as I read it; but you can’t get near the place.
Craig
- I think I ought to get in touch with Police Headquarters right away, Billy.
Birkmire
- Well, that’s why I wanted to get hold of you. It says there they’re looking for a man seen leaving the house after midnight.
Craig
- Sure, that’s me.
Birkmire
- Well, not necessarily you, Walter.
Craig
- That’s the time I got away from there.
Birkmire
- That doesn’t mean anything. Only I think it ’ud be a good thing to let them know right away.
Craig (turning suddenly and going up to the telephone)
- Sure, I’ll call up right away.
