INT. CAMPBELL RESIDENCE - DAY

               Mrs. Campbell opens the door on --  Andy, looking
               exasperated, and Barney, looking agitated.  They both look
               a little out of breath.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Sheriff?  I didn't expect to see you
                          again so soon.

                                      ANDY
                          Well, we were in the neighborhood and-- 
                          Do you mind if my deputy asks you a
                          couple questions about your husband's
                          murder?

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Am I a suspect?

                                      ANDY
                          No, ma'am, these are just routine
                          questions.  Right, Barney?

                                      BARNEY
                                (pouncing)
                          Where were you on the morning of the
                          17th??

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          That's today, ain't it?

                                      BARNEY
                          Just answer the question!

                                      ANDY
                          What Barney's trying to say--  There
                          isn't any chance you might've killed
                          your husband?  Maybe by accident?

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Now why would I do that?

                                      BARNEY
                          Marital rage.  This is text book, Andy,
                          open and shut.  Unhappy husband takes
                          to the bottle.  Unhappy wife takes the
                          bottle to his head.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          That's ridiculous!

                                      BARNEY
                          How'd you get those lips???

                                      ANDY
                          Barney, calm down.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          I paid good money for these.

                                      BARNEY
                          Likely story!

                                      ANDY
                          All right, that's enough.  Now, Mrs.
                          Campbell, you wouldn't happen to know
                          anyone who didn't particularly care for
                          your husband.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          I didn't particularly care for him.

                                      ANDY
                          But someone who couldn't stand him.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          I couldn't stand him.

                                      ANDY
                          I mean somebody who might have hated
                          him enough to do him harm.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          What's not to hate?  He was mean and
                          ornery.  Spiteful.  Gassy.  Never
                          picked up after himself.  And he was
                          always running around with other women.

                                      ANDY
                          I beg your pardon?

                                      BARNEY
                          Other women?

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          I may be illiterate, but I'm not
                          stupid, Sheriff.  I can read the signs.

                                      ANDY
                          Well, then, you wouldn't be illiterate.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Last night I was doing his laundry and
                          I found a blonde hair.

                                      ANDY
                          Now, that could be anything.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          In his trousers?

                                      BARNEY
                          Trouser's never lie, Andy.

                                      ANDY
                          One suspicious hair don't make him the
                          Don Juan of Mayberry.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Maybe not.  But last week she was a red
                          head.  And the week before that,
                          brunette. 

                                      BARNEY
                          If his laundry's any judge, Otis was
                          making time with half the town.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Serve him right if I did kill him.

               Barney throws her against the dresser and handcuffs her.

                                      ANDY
                          What are you doing?

                                      BARNEY
                          She practically admitted killing her
                          husband, near as I can tell.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          I didn't kill him!  I hated him, sure. 
                          But he was bringing home the bacon. 
                          And that's all that mattered to me. 
                          Look over there on that cabinet,
                          there's a envelope.

               Andy finds an envelope full of money on the cabinet.

                                      ANDY
                          There's almost 100 dollars in here.

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          That's right.  A man brings home that
                          kind of envelope once a week, a woman
                          tends to overlook the little things.

               Barney's not buying it.

                                      BARNEY
                          Your stories full o' holes, sister! 
                          How do we know that's not your money
                          you were saving up to hire a hit man? 

                                      MRS. CAMPBELL
                          Get your hands off me, or I'll show you
                          a hit man!

               She slaps him.  Barney is flabbergasted.

                                      BARNEY
                          Assaulting an officer!  You're a
                          witness, Andy!

                                      ANDY
                          All right, Barney.  That's enough.

                                      BARNEY
                          We got her dead to rights, Andy.

                                      ANDY
                          I know.  Now you better let her go.

                                      BARNEY
                          But Andy--!?

                                      ANDY
                          We'll talk about it outside.

                                                         CUT TO
