Lieutenant Ben Guthrie is escorting Mr. Reducy, the night watchman, to the line up viewing area. He seems to think that Charlie Barnes, number four in the line-up, is the one guilty of strangling a woman at the building in which he works. Guthrie tells Sergeant Grebbs to hold Number Four for questioning. In the interrogation room, Charlie says "I don't feel good, get me a doctor". Guthrie says "After we talk, Charlie. After you tell me about last night". Charlie says "If you don't want to get me a police doctor, let me call my own". Guthrie says "Last night Charlie, tell me about last night". Charlie says "I was in my apartment, all night and the day before. I was sick." Guthrie says "The night watchman in the Reality Building said that he saw you carry the body of a woman down the fire escape. You left the body on the pavement and walked away". Charlie says "He is a liar, it wasn't me". Guthrie says "Those scratches on your face Charlie, how did you get them?" Charlie says "I don't know, must have cut myself shaving".
