Mrs. Leslie Colbert:
I came by to make it as clear as I possibly can: that I do not want the Negro officer taken off this case.
Mayor Webb Schubert: Negro officer? Chief Gillespie: Yeah, well he, uh...he comes from up North, you see, and he was, uh, kinda...passing through-- Mrs. Leslie Colbert: I don't care what he is. If it wasn't for him, your impartial chief of police would still have the wrong man behind bars. I want that officer given a free hand, otherwise I will pack up my husband's engineers...and leave you...to yourselves.
