Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

 I work as a bagman in federal prison. I am the guy who can get it for you. Tailor-made cigarettes, abag of reefer if you are partial, or almost anything else... I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty. I committerd murder. At first, I intended to murder my wife alone to get the insurance. However, various incidents occurred at the same time, as a result, I have caused the great event that involved fifty people or better. After a long trial, the judge called what I had done "a hideous, heinous crime." Thereafter I am behind bars, but I do not yet understand the meaning called the rebirth.

 Anyway it is not me I want to tell you about; I want to tell you about a guy named Andy Dufresne.  But before I can tell you about Andy, I have to explain a few other things about myself. It won't take long.

 As I said, I have been the guy who can get it for you here at Shawshank for damn near forty years.

 I sent various things to various people. And,I do not get all those things gratis, and for some items the price comes high.I was a bagman of the reputation. However,the only two things I refuse to handle are guns and heavy drugs. I won't help anyone kill himself or anyone else. I have enough killing on my mind to last me a lifetime. So when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked if I could smuggle Rita Hayworth into the prison for him, I said it would be no problem  at all.

 When Andy came to Shawshank in 1948, he was thirty years old. He was a short, weat little man with sandy hair and small clever hands. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles. His fingernails were always clipped, and they were always clean. On the outside he had been a vice-president in the trust department of a large Portland bank. Andy was in for murdering his wife and her lover.

 In all my years at Shawshank, There were how many men who insisted themselves innocent. Andy Dufresne was one of them, although I only became comvinced of his innocence over a period of years.

 It was said that Andy knew the immorality of the wife, and he was enraged and had murdered his wife and the lover. And they took four bullets each other. In other words he would repack some  bullet to his gun. This became the important issue at the trial, and he was found guilty,be put behind bars for life.
