No. Is there another way into the room ma'am? 40 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600 No, this is the only door. How about windows? 41 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,040 What? Windows leading into it. 42 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,640 Yes, off the front porch. Came in here drunk, across the scene. 43 00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,640 Down this way?

I'm going to have to break this man. 52 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,200 Well, I don't care as long as you get to him. Alright, I'm going to hold the light for him. 53 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Yeah. You better stand back ma'am, the glass 54 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,440 is... Please, just hurry. 55 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,720 Can you reach the latch from there? Wait a minute. 56 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I got it. 57 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,640 I'll give you a hand then.

Yeah. 65 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,600 How about it? We better have the attendant look at him. 66 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Take a look at that. No wonder we couldn't force the door. 67 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Yeah, the chair was a knob. Locked and bolted. 68 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,800 He must have wanted real privacy. Looks like he's got it now. 69 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,800 That's the room right there. Yes ma'am. 70 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Hi. He's dead. 71 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,800 You want to wait in there ma'am? I didn't think he'd really do it. 72 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,800 How about it? Just a minute. 73 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800 No nothing, he's dead. That his wife? 74 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Yeah. I'm sorry to have to do this ma'am, but there 75 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,800 are a couple of things I've got to know. Go ahead. 76 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Want to give me his full name? Carl Hamlin. 77 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,800 His age? 43. Does he live here? 78 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,800 No. We had a house over in Bronson, 947. 79 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,800 Do you have to go through all this? No, that's all Mrs. Hamlin. 80 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,800 I'll get the rest of it later. Frank. 81 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Yeah. You want to finish up here? 82 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Sure. It's all so wrong. 83 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,800 Carl said it's all wrong. Yes ma'am. 84 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Is there anything we can get for you? No. 85 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,800 Do you want to go in the other room and sit down? That's better. 86 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Would you like to call your doctor for you? 87 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,800 I've already called him from my mother. He's on the way over. 88 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,800 Where is she now? In the back bedroom. She's lying down. 89 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,800 This whole thing's been a shock for her. Yes ma'am, I can understand. 90 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,800 When I talked to him, he said for me to give her one of those pills he prescribed. 91 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,800 It's supposed to make her sleep. You're going to have to talk to her. 92 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Yes, we probably will. I hope you won't have to do it tonight. 93 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,800 This whole thing's been a terrible shock to her. She's not too well anyway. 94 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Well, we'll try to avoid upsetting her any further. 95 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,800 I'd appreciate it more than I could tell you. 96 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,800 All right, Mrs. Hamlin. There are a few questions we've got to ask if you feel up to answering them. 97 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,800 Might as well get it over with. What do you want to know? 98 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,800 Do you want to tell us what happened? 99 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Well, Carl came over tonight, drunk. He crossed a big scene. 100 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Your husband doesn't live here then? No, we're separated. 101 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,800 Who was here when the shooting took place? My mother and myself. 102 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800 Anybody else living here? No, just the two of us. 103 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,800 What time did Mr. Hamlin get here? I'm not sure. I was asleep. 104 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800 I beg your pardon? I wasn't asleep. I don't know. 105 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800 I see. You weren't expecting him then? No. 106 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,800 Last time I saw him, I told him to leave me alone. 107 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,800 That I'd get a court order if I had to. We've been separated about a week this time. 108 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,800 This isn't the first time then. No, there have been other times. This was the worst. 109 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,800 I told him I was finished, but I didn't want anything more to do with him. 110 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,800 He's been calling. Here, where I work, most of the time he was drunk. 111 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,800 He kept asking for a reconciliation, saying how sorry he was, and asked me to take him back. 112 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,800 I'm not blaming it all on him. I know some of it was my fault. 113 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Do you want to go on? He called me this afternoon. He had to see me. 114 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Had it all worked out, we could get back together again. 115 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,800 I told him I didn't want to see him. I said for him to stay away. 116 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,800 I came home and told my mother about it. I said Carl might show up, but if he did, I didn't want to see him. 117 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,800 I kind of half expected him to show up, but he didn't. 118 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,800 I went to bed after the 10.30 news. Mother stayed up to read. 119 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,800 First I knew if there was anything wrong when I heard the shots. 120 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,800 I got up and came right downstairs. Mother was standing in front of the study door. 121 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,800 She told me that Carl was inside, that he'd shot himself. 122 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,800 I tried to call him. At first I thought he was playing some kind of a joke. 123 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,800 My mother said she'd heard Carl fall down in the room. I called you right away. 124 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Joe, what do you got? 125 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800 DOA slip. I'll put it on the call. The photo lab in the corner. 126 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800 I checked the gun's.38 revolver, one shot fired. 127 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,800 That fits with the story I just got from his wife. 128 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800 I'll make the calls. 129 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800 I wonder if I could use your phone, Mrs. Hamler. 130 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:01,800 What? 131 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,800 I'd like to use your phone, please. 132 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800 Oh, it's in the hall, at the table there. 133 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Thank you.
