Two men in cowboy attire are in a wooden room; one stands while the other sits at a desk examining a note. The transcript reveals they are deducing that a shooting victim left X marks as clues to hidden money, interpreting them as match scratches.
“Well the way I got it figured. He was sitting here writing that note when somebody came in and shot him.” 33:27 · “Did you notice these X's on this desk? Those are match scratches. Magpies to roots that never stay lit. Why, there's scratches like that all over the house. Now you've hit on it, Crash. Hit on what? Match scratches. There must be a trail of them leading to wherever the money's hidden.” 33:47 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.
