SECOND POLICEMAN
Go to Eisler’s grocery store and telephone to the factory from there. They’ve a doctor there, too. [Calling down to the other POLICEMAN.] I’m going to tie up the horses. [Comes down the steps and exits at left. The stage is empty. There is a pause. The little red signal lamp is lit.]
VOICE OF FIRST POLICEMAN

VOICE OF FIRST POLICEMAN
Shall I pull the knife out of his chest?
