PERKINS: Well, he is, isn't he?
INSPECTOR: I believe every man innocent until proven guilty.
BROOKY: Bravo, Inspector! Those are my sentiments.
INSPECTOR: I've sent for Mrs. Worthington. When we get her, Goldie, the Eel and Dugan together, we shall be able to get a clearer view on the matter. Bring up Goldie. (O'MARA exits door L.)
PERKINS: (Coming R. C.) Inspector, has this girl Goldie Marshall ever been up before?
INSPECTOR: Well, she's been arrested a number of times, on shop-lifting charges, but we've never been able to prove anything on her.
PERKINS: Perhaps she's square after all.
INSPECTOR: Not at all unlikely; as I said before, I believe a person innocent until proven guilty.
BROOKY: (Crossing R. to railing of desk.) And as I said before—Bravo, old chap. (The INSPECTOR looks at BROOKY sternly and he retires up stage R. confusedly, bumping into chair, sits in it.)
PERKINS: (Crossing R. to railing.) Inspector?
