It was a rainy night and all the windows were tight[00:00:32]
And there were thirteen people in the house[00:00:36]
The owner and his wife, the butler and his wife[00:00:40]
Cook with her knife, a couple named Smythe.[00:00:43]
The Andersons were there with another strange pair[00:00:47]
And the scary caretaker and me[00:00:50]
The clock struck one, there was the sound of a gun[00:00:54]
And I heard somebody run away.[00:00:57]
And the twelve who were alive had terror in their eyes[00:01:01]
And I overheard the Andersons say ..[00:01:05]
'Who could have done it ?'[00:01:09]
'Who could have done it ?'[00:01:10]
And I wonder where's the cook and her knife[00:01:12]
'Madam' - said Adam with his wife by his side[00:01:16]
'It was the shot we heard that took her life'.[00:01:19]
The other couple named Sloan and I ran to the phone[00:01:26]
To call the police but just then[00:01:29]
All the power went out and we heard a great shout[00:01:33]
And we knew for someone else it was the end.[00:01:37]
And when the power came on, we were shocked with alarm[00:01:40]
For instead of being twelve, we were ten.[00:01:44]
Who could have done it ?[00:01:48]
Who could have done it ?[00:01:49]
The Andersons were such a nice pair.[00:01:51]
Now the owner and his wife, both afraid for their life[00:01:54]
So they hurried to the door to run away[00:01:58]
But before they got there, there was a whistle through the air[00:02:01]
Then another, then they both had passed away.[00:02:05]
There were seven of us left now, afraid of death now[00:02:08]
But I knew it wasn't me or the Sloans[00:02:12]
'Cause when the power went out and we heard the others shout[00:02:15]
We were out there in the hallway on the phone.[00:02:18]
That left the butler and his wife and the couple named Smythe[00:02:22]
And the old scary caretaker too[00:02:26]
So the Sloans and I, who were both afraid to die[00:02:29]
Had to think of something quick we could do.[00:02:33]
So we called the Smythes and the butler and his wife[00:02:36]
And we gathered in the drawing room[00:02:40]
But before we could call for the caretaker too[00:02:44]
It was too late for he had met his doom.[00:02:48]
It looked like poison.[00:02:52]
That left five, five, five were still alive[00:02:54]
The Sloans, the Smythes and myself[00:02:58]
Once again the lights went out and I heard a great shout[00:03:01]
From both the Smythes and the Sloans.[00:03:05]
And then the lights came on again and I looked around again[00:03:08]
And everybody was dead and I was alone.[00:03:12]
Well, I must have passed out for the next thing I knew[00:03:22]
I was awakened with my hands in chains[00:03:25]
There was a man with a gun and he said : 'Don't bother, son'[00:03:30]
'You'll have plenty of time to explain'.[00:03:33]
I was rushed to a car, then taken to a cell[00:03:36]
And a lawyer came in and said his name[00:03:39]
He said : 'I'm sure you told the truth but the truth is, my boy'[00:03:43]
'To believe in the judge would be insane'.[00:03:47]
'Now before I pass sentence on you, have you anything to say ?'[00:03:50]
I said : 'Are you kiddin' ?'[00:03:55]
I said : 'This must be a dream' - I said : 'This can't be real'[00:03:57]
'You don't believe a word that I've said'.[00:04:01]
And then he looked me in the eye and said : 'Have mercy on his soul'[00:04:04]
And I was hanged by the neck until dead, have mercy.[00:04:07]
Hey, wait a minute, hey, stop[00:04:25]
Hey, would you mind rewinding that last sentence ?[00:04:29]
I mean, hanged by the what ?[00:04:34]
Until when ?[00:04:39]
Hey, listen, I think you made a little, I mean I think you made a large mistake here[00:04:42]
First of all, I was in Colorado having breakfast with a nun, OK ?[00:04:47]
What do you mean ? There's nothing to get hung up about[00:04:56]
I mean, you should be in here[00:04:58]
Hey, you ever heard of the word appeal ?[00:05:01]
Well, I'm about to appeal you off that bench in a minute unless you change that decision[00:05:05]
Listen, I got a lot, I mean I had a lot of friends in this town[00:05:08]
Hey, I want to see my congress man.[00:05:12]
