CRAIG<br>

Big news! My saviour has arrived!<br>

My intuition's never been so strong!<br>

Big News! My career has been revived<br>

All I needed was a snippy, pissy Yankee all along!<br>

Take this superstitious city, add one little Jew from Brooklyn<br>

Plus a college education and a mousy little wife,<br>

And big news! Real big news!<br>

That poor sucker saved my life!<br>

<br>

So give him fangs, give him horns,<br>

Give him scaly, hairy palms!<br>

Have him droolin' out the corner of his mouth!<br>

He's a master of disguise!<br>

Check those bug-out creepy eyes!<br>

Sure, that fella's here to rape the whole damned South!<br>

They'll be bangin' down my door,<br>

Yellin' "More, Craig, more!"<br>

"Call for justice! We need justice!<br>

Beat the bastard! Kill the bum!"<br>

Big news! Real big news!<br>

My saviour has finally come!<br>

<br>

According to reports obtained exclusively by this reporter,<br>

Prosecutor Dorsey has the villain in his sights.<br>

A highly ranking unnamed source in this investigation tells me<br>

Leo Frank's the only likely culprit in this case.<br>

Anyone with any information on the suspect, Leo Frank,<br>

Should contact this reporter care of the Atlanta Georgian.<br>

<br>

CRAIG<br>

Look! You just scribble it down and it covers the town like molasses or mud!<br>

Look! For us drunken ol' bums, opportunity comes in a magical flood!<br>

Look! You might never be sure if your motives are pure, but your profits are clear!<br>

Look! You were down and depressed, now you're ridin' the crest of the scoop of the year!<br>

<br>

DORSEY<br>

Jim Conley. I got a piece of paper here says you spent a little time on the chain gang.<br>

<br>

CONLEY<br>

That right?<br>

<br>

DORSEY<br>

Twice, according to this. <br>

And the second time it says here you were out with the road gang <br>

and you just up and disappeared.<br>

<br>

CONLEY<br>

Well, you know, my time was about up.<br>

<br>

DORSEY<br>

Really? I think you had a few more months to serve. <br>

You know what that makes you, don't you?<br>

<br>

CONLEY<br>

Lucky?<br>

<br>

DORSEY<br>

I was going to say an escaped convict. Now, what should we do about that?<br>

CONLEY<br>

What was that you was askin' me about Mr Frank?<br>
