NEWT LEE (chained hand and foot)<br>
I am tryin' to remember:<br>
I was checkin' roun' the fact'ry.<br>
And I went into the basement,<br>
Down the stairs into the basement<br>
And I shine my light around here,<br>
In the corners and the ceiling,<br>
And I'm 'bout to check the washroom<br>
And my light, it kinda catches<br>
On this pile of rags in the middle of the room:<br>
<br>
The factory basement. <br>
Leo is brought in to view a body covered with a dirty cloth.<br>
<br>
LEO (trembling, nearly fainting)<br>
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!<br>
<br>
DETECTIVE STARNES<br>
Do you know who this is, Mr Frank?<br>
<br>
LEO<br>
Oh my God! It's the little girl I paid yesterday.<br>
She came up to my office.<br>
<br>
NEWT<br>
I ain't seen no pile o' rags there before,<br>
So I go over and I kick it,<br>
And I shine down my light and Lord,<br>
Lord, ain't no pile of rags at all:<br>
<br>
LEO (to the policemen)<br>
Who did it? Do you know who did it yet?<br>
<br>
NEWT<br>
This small white body<br>
With her tongue stickin' out,<br>
This pretty little child<br>
With her eyes wide open:<br>
<br>
LEO<br>
Oh no. You don't think it was my night watch-man. <br>
Newt? (No answer) Newt Lee? You think it was Newt? (Silence)<br>
<br>
NEWT<br>
So I ran to the phone<br>
And I called Mr Frank,<br>
But the phone kep' ringin',<br>
So I called y'all to help me---<br>
Mr Frank, he didn't answer:<br>
And that's all I can remember.<br>
<br>
LEO<br>
Oh God! Oh my God! You think I - you think - that's absurd! It's preposterous.<br>
I didn't even know this child. <br>
I only remembered her name because she was in my office yesterday:<br>
<br>
MRS PHAGAN (approaching the factory)<br>
'Scuse me.<br>
<br>
ROOKIE POLICEMAN<br>
Yes, ma'am?<br>
<br>
MRS PHAGAN<br>
I'm hopin' you can he'p me.<br>
<br>
ROOKIE POLICEMAN<br>
Yes, ma'am.<br>
<br>
MRS PHAGAN<br>
Well, my daughter didn't come home las' night.<br>
<br>
ROOKIE POLICEMAN<br>
Can I have your name please, ma'am?<br>
<br>
