Two men in suits converse in an office-like setting while a third man is visible in the background; the dialogue concerns Mrs. Williams, Torrance, and a telegraph officer named Wyatt. One speaker criticizes the other for delaying action, warning that Torrance may be tipped off.
“Why, there isn't even evidence there of Mrs. Williams' intent to communicate with Torrance. And who do you think she beat apart to the telegraph officer Wyatt to?” 50:52 · “the league of decency. I'll tell you what I think that you should have brought her in when I first told you to.” 51:00 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.
