Also said
“You can't reach him, Mr. Freeman. We've already told you he'd be on his way here by now.” 22:43 · “And besides, there's nothing to worry about as far as alibi and that money's concerned. Why anybody that tries to waylay him will be badly fooled.” 22:47

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: deception, money and trust, Western frontier setting; style notes: medium shots and close-ups in a dimly lit wooden interior; high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s Westerns

A man in a dark shirt and cap stands at a counter while three men in cowboy hats sit or stand around a table in a wooden room; one man speaks about telegraphing Alibi and leaving money in the bank. Another man interrupts, saying Alibi is already on his way and that anyone trying to waylay him will be fooled.

“I'm going to telegraph to Alibi myself.” 22:37 · “And I'm going to tell Alibi to leave the money on deposit in the bank.” 22:40 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.
