A man speaks about hidden highways and shell casings linked to a killing, while three men stand in a dimly lit interior. The transcript references shell casings from a gun that killed Rollins and were fired at Chuck.
“Here were 700 miles of hidden highways. Ideal for the use of someone who needed to hurry from place to place without being seen. Ideal as a hiding place for guns and supplies in case of emergency.” 38:26 · “Well, the reason I asked you to come over is I think I've hit on something. An identification?” 38:43 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
