A man is sworn in as a Ranger and is questioned about a killing. He is seated at a table in a rustic room while others observe or speak to him.
“Well, I'm a Ranger at last. When can I have my badge? Sit down. Now? Now. Here, take my seat, Chief. Oh, no, you keep it. No, no, it's all yours. You fellas wait outside. Okay, it's a pleasure.” 45:10 · “Now, Payday, we understand that you know something about killing. Killing? Who, me? Did you see Foster the night before that? Yes, sir, at this table. Anyone with him? Well, now, let me think. Foster? Yes, sir, there was old Pete and Dick here. Did Sherwood and Foster have any words? I don't know. Oh, come on, answer yes or no. No, he gets me all for tickled up. Payday, you're a ranger now. You're under oath to tell the truth.” 45:29 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.
