The Line-Up - The Bromell and Bellows Bloody Bullet Case

Lieutenant Ben Guthrie sees Sergeant Charlie Quine on the way to the nightly line-up. Guthrie has not brought a witness to the viewing area. He is just there to observe.  Quine asks "What's the latest on the Bromell Case?" Guthrie says "Nothing new. He goes to trial tomorrow". Quine says "Okay, see you later. I'm going to the office. Later, during the line-up procedure, Quine comes back to talk to Guthrie.  He says "Can I tell you something, Ben?" Guthrie says "Yeah". Quine says "We'd better go outside". Both step into the hallway. Quine says "Lillian Jacobs have just killed". Guthrie says "What?" Quine says "They're bringing her in now". Guthrie says "Well, what's the rest?" Quine says "Walter wants to see you" Guthrie says "Okay, tell me about it on the way up". Quine says "Nothing much to tell. Some guy got her going into her apartment. He must have used a rifle. There are no leads". Guthrie says "Nuts!" Quine says "Yeah, that throws the whole Bromell case right out the window". Guthrie says "I was worried about something like this". Quine says "Well, we had two men with her. There were three shots. They didn't even see where the shots came from. Could have been from a building, or a car. They just didn't see it". Guthrie asks "You got men covering the area?" Quine says "Been covering it for the last twenty minutes". Guthrie says "They won't find anything." Quine says "You worked pretty hard on this one. Lilian's statement isn't enough for the trial". Guthrie says "Huh? No. I wanted Leo Bromell for the Jacob's killing for the last three years. I finally get him and lose my only witness".
