Voice says "innocent man," the scene dissolves to JOE'S HIDEOUT, where JOE is sitting hunched intently over a small, cheap radio, listening with a fixed grin of satisfaction. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S VOICE The law is the only safeguard against "an eye for an eye," "a tooth for a tooth" and blind chaos! We again see the COURTROOM as the District Attorney concludes.
