Two men in hats are seated outdoors in a wooded area, discussing a 'mystery box' and planning to take it to Mallory's house for safety. One man mentions being 'picked up in Zorka's lab' and refers to a past event involving 130,000 votes.
“Who who was it?” 31:36 · “I sure did. 130,000 votes. That's what wrecked us when I pulled that gadget on the box. Oh, that was a close one. I better see if the box is still there. Man, I'm going after that guy who's picked up in Zorka's lab. Now, this is no time for manhunter. It's more important we get that mystery box to the federal lab for an analysis. Go up the whole city? I guess you're right. We'll take it back to Mallory's house. We'll be safer there.” 31:44 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.
