Yes, 346 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.440 I am. I'd like to report some of my jewels 347 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.519 are missing. Yes, and the last time I saw them 348 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.640 was when a radio repair man was here. Name is. 349 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.599 And you still say she gave you the jewels? 350 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.000 She gave them to me? 351 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.400 Yes, but you pleaded guilty. 352 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.680 Why was my word against hers? My my record against 353 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:17.880 a woman with money? Besides, DA offered me a deal? 354 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.200 What kind of a deal? 355 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.839 Promise me? If I'd plead guilty, they'd they'd get me 356 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:23.599 off light. 357 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:25.599 So you pleaded guilty. 358 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.079 Yes, I pleaded guilty, but you weren't. 359 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.880 Yes, all right, let's return to miss Bradley. Now you 360 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:36.759 say Miss Bradley was in love with you. At least 361 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.279 your story seems to be intended to make this board together. 362 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.839 Then she she was, otherwise she wouldn't have given me 363 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.279 the stuff. 364 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:45.400 Yet we have a record, a transcript of her statement 365 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.960 to the district attorney, which did not appear in the 366 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.680 court proceedings. Since you pleaded guilty, but miss Bradley herself said, 367 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.200 and I quote, I did not at any time offer 368 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.880 to lend or give Lachlan any jewels or money. And 369 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.640 his claim that there was any friendship between. 370 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.359 Us is as preposterous as it is criminal. In the 371 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.720 first place, I didn't call him back to fix my radio. 372 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.440 He came to the door about a week after his 373 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.880 first call and asked time my radio was working. Seemed 374 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.960 like a very decent young man, so I let him in, 375 00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.279 primarily out of pity. There was never any attachment between 376 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.559 mister Lachlan and myself, and he never accompanied me to 377 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.279 any social affairs. Any friendship that did exist was purely 378 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.519 on my part anyway, interest in his rather rough character 379 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:38.200 and on his part. I'm convinced by experience, ply and 380 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.880 simply for the purpose of robbing me. 381 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.720 What do you say to that, Lachlan the dormant a 382 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.680 police source, go out together. He could give you a 383 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.319 statement too. 384 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.599 We tried to obtain a statement from him, but he 385 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.880 died more than a year ago. Ah, well, what have 386 00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:00.400 you got to say for yourself? Laughlin got a. 387 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.119 Clear prison record. There's a job waiting for me in 388 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.119 the outside, back in the radio shop that the Catherine 389 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.200 read and is waiting for me outside too. Want to 390 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.319 get married in start out all over again. That's all rockling. 391 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.559 It's only fair to tell you one or two factors 392 00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:22.319 which have to enter into our decision. 393 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:24.160 Yes, in the. 394 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.359 First place, you said it was your word against Miss Bradley's. 395 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.079 Against your word was not only Miss Bradley's statement, but 396 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.279 your school record, your reform school history, the fact that 397 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.839 you yourself here could not explain where you obtained your 398 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:40.680 radio material. 399 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.200 You follow me luck. 400 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.200 Yes, then there was your attack on the superintendent, and 401 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.519
