• Perry Mason : Why did you go to the Blue Bell Motel on the night of the murder?

  Edmund Arthur Lacey : As I said, to thwart any swindle which might reflect on the good name of my publication.

  Perry Mason : Well, if you had no control over Mr. Barnaby's actions, how did you expect to accomplish that?

  Edmund Arthur Lacey : Well, I... I hoped to reason with him.

  Perry Mason : Did you talk with Mr. Barnaby?

  Edmund Arthur Lacey : Well, no. No, I never entered his room.

  Perry Mason : Then how did you hope to reason with him? By mental telepathy?
