The judge then rules that sufficient evidence has been given to hold Paul for trial on a charge of attempted rape. He is about to set a date and time for the arraignment when Dorothy comes into court, bearing Lucrece's most recent manuscript.

While the clerk is looking back for it, Paul calls the author back to the stand, and she hears the clerk quoting her testimony, followed by Paul reading out almost identical words from the manuscript of her new novel. The judge dismisses the charges against Paul, suggesting psychiatric care would be appropriate for Lucrece, but Dorothy volunteers to take responsibility for her. Paul states that he will not press charges against Lucrece, and she walks out of court with Dorothy, without giving him a glance. The neighbor humbly apologizes to Paul who accepts understandingly.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <IMG SRC="14a1281e0.png" border=0 width="40" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="14a1281e0.png" border=0 width="40" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Notes & Comments: A well-done episode..</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.run4.us/video/lucrecevideo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.run4.us/video/lucrecevideo.ht">Watch a video clip from this episode</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="1313" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 270 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154096dc0.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="220" ALT="Julie Harris in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Julie Harris as</div> <div> Lucrece Lawrence</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154192dc0.jpg" border=0 width="146" height="220" ALT="Audrey Totter in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Audrey Totter as</div> <div> Dorothy Young</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154294dc0.jpg" border=0 width="148" height="220" ALT="Vincent Van Lynn in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Vincent Van Lynn</div> <div> as Howard Billings</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154397dc0.jpg" border=0 width="151" height="220" ALT="Robert Patten" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Robert Patten as</div> <div> the Prosecutor</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1544a6dc0.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="220" ALT="Donald Foster in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Donald Foster</div> <div> as the Judge</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154597dc0.jpg" border=0 width="151" height="220" ALT="Margo Moore in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Margo Moore as</div> <div> Peggy Amblerr</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154697dc0.jpg" border=0 width="151" height="220" ALT="Michael Harris in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Michael Harris</div> <div> as Tom Ambler</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="154796dc0.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="220" ALT="Fred Slyter in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Fred Slyter as</div> <div> the Court Clek</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  Next Episode:  <A HREF="killingscene.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Killing Scene">The Killing Scene</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0dc96450.png" border=0 width="150" height="69" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
