The Case of the Screaming Woman

"The Case of the Screaming Woman" is the one with the doctor who lives in the nosiest neighborhood in all mankind. Literally everyone sits by their windows with binoculars, spying on everyone else. And there's no less than four different people who run in and out of the doctor's house at 11 o'clock at night. That poor doctor should have bought a Rottweiler or something.
Dr. Babb runs a baby clinic. Pregnant, unwed women come to him and he checks them into the hospital, along with a married woman who wants a child. The married woman leaves with a child that is listed as her's, and the unwed woman goes on her merry way. Someone is keen to get their hands on Dr. Babb's notebook, detailing all the wealthy, powerful people he's helped have babies. Perry's client is one of the husbands who is desperate to protect his young son from finding out he was adopted. John Kirby was seen leaving the doctor's house shortly before his body was discovered, and he checked a young lady into a motel, registering as man and wife, but then left the woman alone. The prosecution contends that Kirby and this young lady conspired together to kill Dr. Babb. Perry makes a right fool out of Burger in the courtroom (naturally) by having Burger's own witness prove Kirby was innocent. It was a fun courtroom scene.
