• 2:56
  Speaker 6: It was Wednesday, June twenty fourth. It was warm in
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Los Angeles. We were working a day's out of Auto
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: fift detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is bad Brown,
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Chief of Detectives. My name is Friday. We were at
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: the main jail and it was eight fourteen am when
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: we got to the second floor. It's the interview room.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Sit on the phone. Yeah, right there.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: You guys start pretty early in the morning, don't you. Yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: once in a while you got a cigarette.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, thanks. I never feel like I'm alive.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: I never had a cigarette in the morning. How about
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: imagine here like that first cigarette? All right, what's this
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: all about?
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: You know that as well as we do a few questions,
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: we want to ask, go ahead, ask what's your apartment setup?
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you're talking about. Now it will
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: work slowly. Got the whole story from Summers?
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: So and what do you need from me?
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: It's like to check out a few things.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: What do you mean you got the whole story from Summers?
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: What did he say?
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Told us everything he knows about the setup and what
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: he says. You're the key man.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Everything goes through you, he said. Then, yeah, you're believing.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: Got no reason not to us why we're here. Get
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: your side of the story.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: How much you tell?
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: You said everything he knows?
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that figures. You get a guy with agen like that,
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: and as soon as the roof starts to drop, they
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: spill their insides out. That's the trouble with doing business
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: with hypes. You always run into me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll hear your side up.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Sure I knew going in. If you lock Summers up,
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: you'd break. It's a matter of time before he started
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: seeing things and talked all over the place.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Why don't you do a little the same?
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: I got no choice. Where do you want me to start?
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: About the beginning?
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: As good a place as any?
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: I guess all right, who's the big gun in the setup?
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: And you're not going to believe it? Why don't you
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: try us? I don't know who he is. I don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: got the slightest idea.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: And that's the truth, asking us to buy the fact
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: you work for a guy you don't know.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: I don't care if you buy it or not. That's
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: the way it is. I don't know who the big
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: man is.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: How to get you?
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: He calls me? Where my place?
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: When?
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: When I got something for him?
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: How does he know?
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: We got to set time? Each day? He calls and
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: he tells me what he wants done. I tell him
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: what's going on.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: What happens if you want to talk to him? And
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: it's not the time?
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: Nothing?
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: I gotta wait. How to get paid?
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: He calls me and tells me where to go I
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: show up there and that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Does Wait all right, Now you start at the beginning.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Give us the whole story, all right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: I got in town about six months ago from outside
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: of Chicago, and later on town for a few days,
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: and I got this rumbled at, maybe I can pick
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: up a job.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: What'd you hear?
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Oh? Just around? I couldn't tell you where. It was
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: a word here, another one there, just around. Go ahead, Well,
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: I'm home. One day in the phone rings, I answered,
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: and the guy asked me if I wanted to go
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: to work for him. I'm on my opera, So I
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: asked him what he wanted me to do when he
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: springs his car ice thing on me. I told him
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: I wanted no part of it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he kept on talking, kept.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Telling me how I was such a sweet, clean racket.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: Now we could work it without being tagged. Finally I
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: told him I might be willing to sit down and
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: talk to him about it. He says, no, go that
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: he didn't want anybody to know who he was, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: that went from me too. He told me he'd swing
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: the operation, or what do you mean swing? Well, he
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: said he'd tell me how to set it up, how
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: to make it work, who to contact. So he had
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: the organization already, but he needed a man to take
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: charge of the LA part of it. He told me
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: that I was the guy he wanted.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Fun.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: How he happened to come to you, I don't know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I did time when I was a kid for grand
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: theft auto first time I got off light.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: What did you do New York State? Right?
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: Well, maybe you gotta rumble about that. He knew that
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: I was done. Maybe he figured that I was the
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: guy to handle it for him. I don't know why
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: he just called.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Do you have any idea who this man on the
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: phone was?
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: No.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I thought about it a lot.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: I tried to come up with an answer, but the
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: just wasn't any least none that I could find.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Might have been somebody who met back East.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Could be. I got nowhere knowing the
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: way the deal worked out. I didn't have any reason
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: to get nosey. This guy really had it figured out
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: like a charm. I still don't know how you tagged it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: How about it? You tell me better than yeah, yea.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I go ahead. What happened after you talk to this guy?
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Well, I wasn't real anxious right off. I told him
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: I'd had to think about it. You see, next day
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: he calls again, told me he wanted to tell me
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: the deal, lay it out for me. If I thought
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: it was good, I could go along with it. Otherwise
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: we could call it quits. I was just about to
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: get bounced out of my room, so I listened. We
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: must have talked for about an hour. Yeah, that's when
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: he laid it out for me. Why had looked the
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: plane couldn't miss. Wasn't anything he hadn't thought of all
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: along the line. He had the leaks all plugged up tight.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: You see, all right, how this deal worked. I thought
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Summers gave you the lineup.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah he did, But we'd like to hear it from you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Sure you ain't trying to con me into something.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: You said it yourself. You had no choice, now I
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: have you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Well, the way to work was smooth, real smooth. The Boss,
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: that's what I called him. He'd call me, tell me
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: what kind of car he wanted. I'd get in touch
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: with one of the boys and pass the order on.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: You said, Yeah, Hype would steal the car. Call me
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: book some Hype would steal the car and call me
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: right away, tell me where he had the car and
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: The boss would call and I'd tell him. He'd drive
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: by look at the car. If he lokated, he'd call
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: me and I'd tell the fellow that saw it to
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: get it rolling.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: They'd have it to Mexico.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, first off, I'd meet him and give them enough
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: money to get back here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Though after that they'd.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Switch the plates in the car and shove a where'd
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: you get the plates? O? The boss would get him
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: some place, then they'd be delivered to me, always cold plates.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: Say I think he probably got him if he used
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: car lots. I don't know. That's the way it looked
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: like to me, said, yeah, what happened? Then other guy
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: drive the car straight through. He delivered the car to
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: a contact down a Tijuana.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: What about the payoff from Mexico?
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: How they worked at and I went through me too.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: I'd get a call from the boss. He'd tell me
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: where the meat was. I'd show up and pick up
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: a paper bag with the narcotics.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: That's the way the stolen cars were paid for. Narcotics.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Heroin was the best. So by the time we
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: cut it down, I went a long way. What'd you
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: do with the stuff, Well, some of it I'd use
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: for paying off the hype that lifted the car and
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: the rest went on to the bus.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: I'd get it to him.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: He'd call me, tell me where to leave it. Maybe
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: an alley downtown, a telephone pole on Central, once in
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: the funtain right in front of city, or every time
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: it's a different place.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, is it possible?
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: I mean the others might know who he is.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: I talked to an them. No, I don't think they're
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: holding that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: You know this boss? You ever say anything that could
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: let you know where he was calling from?
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: No?
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: How about his voice? You get anything from man?
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: What do you mean do you have an accent something
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: like that? No? Nothing. He talked just like you and me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: There's one thing he's been around. He knows the tricks.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: He knows about me, everything I've ever done. Where he talks,
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: you know, he knows all the rackets.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: He ever sent you anything through the mail?
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: What do you mean, like with the Postmit's right now.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: A couple of times he sent me a batch of
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: plates to use in the cars. But they come by
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: and missing you.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: One of the companies here?
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: No, just a guy. I asked him who sent him?
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: But they couldn't tell me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Couldn't or wouldn't.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: I ain't sure, but I really don't think they knew
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: as as a different guy each time, never the same
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: one twice. He got some of the plates around, No,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: we used the last one on the car last night.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: What is the boss usually sent him to here?
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Depends how many cars were taken. He keeps track when
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: we're out of cold plates and not the batch of
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: him shows up. It depends on the cars, you think.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: How about the other man working with you, the ones
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: here in town? You give us a list of them.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: If I do, it makes me a pretty big think
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: you don't. It's going to make you big trouble.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: I suppose. So there's nothing you guys can prom must
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: be for this.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: You know the answer to that too. We can see
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: that the District Attorney's office knows about the healthy giverers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: That's all we can do.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: It's better than nothing. Okay, I'll give you the names.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: So when this goes to trial, we can figure you'll
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: be a witness for the state.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Against well, this boss.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Whoever he has.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Sure, if you can get him, I don't think you
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: will love that right? Sure? It stands the reason I
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: worked for the guy I never got to say, m
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: he ain't gonna want to see the police.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Now he's a little like you, and huh, he's got
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: no choice. We got the list of names from the
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: suspect and then we checked with Captain Carl shi in
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Arconic's division. He assigned two men to work with us
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: on the case. We got in touch with the Sheriff's
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: department and billed Sergeant Jedd Shelton in on the development.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: A call was put into al Gaton at San Diego
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: and he said that he'd get in touch with the
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Mexican authorities and line up the cooperation we needed from them.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: The name of the contact in Tijuana was given to them,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: but they were unable to locate the suspect. We asked
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: the Stats office to make a new run on the
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: mo of the auto thefts in an attempt to come
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: up with a new lead on the head of the
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: ring of thieves. They turned up six leads that were
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: checked out and none of us. Nothing. We got in
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: touch with the State Highway Patrol and we worked out
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: a system to intercept any cars that might be stolen
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: in the future by the same gang. The plan was
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: that in the event we received a call regarding a
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: stolen vehicle. We'd put it on the air with the
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: heading of the code word ALYX. This would alert all
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: police officers between Los Angeles and the Mexican border. The
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: men named for us by the suspect Harry Sloan were
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: all taken into custody. Further interrogation netted us no new information.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: In the meantime, the leader of the gang had apparently
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: succeeded in setting up a new group of thieves and
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: was operating again. The thefts continued through the next month.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: During that time, all precautions were taken to keep the
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: stolen cars from getting to the border, with the speed
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: with which the gang operated made apprehending them almost impossible.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: The radio operation with patrol units along the highway was tried,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: but by the time the cars were reported stolen to
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: us and we were able to get a broadcast out
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: on them, they were already across the border. Thursday, July thirtieth,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Frank and I checked into the office.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: I'll check the book right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Anything, Oh call here, Skipper. Sure hacked about this thing?
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Can you blame him?
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: No? I suppose nice. You got a lot of people
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: leaning on him. I don't know Joe, it's about time
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: the breaks start falling on our side. Well, we've been
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: saying that for a long time too. Doesn't seem too
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: much good. Even when we do.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Nail the big gun, we're gonna have to prove it
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: and that isn't going to be easy. Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Way, he's got to work as it's gonna be awful
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: to have to build a case it'll stick. Well, he
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: doesn't handle the narcotics, he doesn't handle the money. All
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: he does is okay to jobs. But it's got to
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: be an outlet for the heroine.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: And where's he getting rid of it?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: That's a good question, you know. He's been trying to
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: come up with the answer a long time. No rumbles informans,
• 11:30

  Speaker 6: Would you like to sit down and go on? Oh?
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, day boy. Yesterday, I'm standing by the elevator
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: and one of this man's customers come out of the
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: office and he walked over the elevator. He reached into
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: his pocket and took out a cigarette, kept the pack
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: up here in the pocket up here, you know, here
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: with a handkerchief. Well, when he pulled a pack out,
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: he dropped a little package fell around on the floor,
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: and he didn't see it right away. He got into
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: the elevator and went down and I went over and
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: picked it up, a little tiny thing, got it right
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: here in my purse. I was going to give it
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: to the man, and then I thought maybe I better
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: come to you. And I saw a picture of a
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: thing like this in the newspaper. Here it is. Can
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: you just look at that? There? You see?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am?
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: What is it? Just approly.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Eleven forty am.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: We continued to talk to the woman. She gave us
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: the name of the man who ran the used car
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: agency in her building, Ralph Holland. She also gave us
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: a description of him and a description of the man
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: she'd seen dropped the narcotics. We went back to the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: office and checked the name through R and I. Holland
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: had a record listing one arrest on suspicion of violation
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: of the State Narcotic Act. The date of the arrest
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: was August seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven. He'd been released for
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: lack of evidence. We checked the name in the phone
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: book and came up with a business and a residence address.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: He lived with his wife in a large track out
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: in the San Fernando Valley. One fifteen pm, Frank and
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: I drove out to talk with Holland's neighbors. They told
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: us that the family was known and respected throughout the area.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: None of them could recount any actions that might cause suspicion.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: They told us the Hollands had lived in the house
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: for the past five years, but that Missus Holland had
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: said that the family was planning to move into town.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: From the neighbors, we found out that Missus Holland was
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: a semi invalid and rarely left the house. We called
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: the office and arrange for a stake out on the house,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: and then we drove back into Hollywood to talk with
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Holland's business associate. From them, we got the same story.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Ralph Holland was a respected member of the community and
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: was a member of several civic clubs. None of his
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: friends could tell us much about his business activities. We
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: did learn, however, that many of his friends couldn't figure
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: how the family could live at the scale that they did.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: They said that Holland had a good business, but they
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: couldn't see how he could afford the new cars that he.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Drove for the new house he was planning to move into.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: By forty six pm, we checked back into the office
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: and talked with Captain Nelson. It should take us a
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: couple of days to get the information back from the banks. Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: In the meantime, I got a lot of walk in
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: the do It's going to be tough. Don't Skipper say
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: we could have all the help we needed. You've get
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: in touch with narcotics. Yeah, I called him this morning.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: They'll give us a hand. Yeah, that's duty, isn't it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, Well, we said the guys Gilly
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: looks good for it. Not a big Job's got to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: prove it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: police force in action. Years ahead of them all.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Chesterfield is years ahead of all cigarettes. Chesterfield quality is highest.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Here's the proof. Recent chemical analyzes give an index of
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: good quality for the country's six leading cigarette brands.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: The index of good.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Quality table, which is a ratio of high sugar to
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: low nicotine, shows Chesterfield quality highest.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield Quality highest.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Fifteen percent higher than its nearest competitor, Chesterfield Quality highest
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: thirty one percent higher than the average of the five
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: other leading brands. Don't you want to try a cigarette
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: with a record like this?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield first, with premium quality and best for you try
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield Today regular or king size.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Friday July thirty first, the leg work started. Two teams
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: of men were assigned for model theft detail to help us,
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: and Narcotics sent two more teams to work with us.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: For the next three weeks, Ralph Holland was kept under
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: twenty four hour surveillance. A stakehout was maintained on his
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: house and on his office. His business records were checked.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: From these, we came up with an estimate of what
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: the suspect's income was. Then we began to check his expenditures.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: As a result, we found that he had control of
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars that his
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: business could not account for. Everyone who visited the Hollands,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: either at their home or at his office, was checked on.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Among his visitors we found several known narcotic dealers. The
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: auto thefts continued, but by now the code system had
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: begun to work. From July thirty first to August twenty fifth,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: sixteen cars were stolen that we attributed to Holland's operation.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: All of them were recovered between Los Angeles and the
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: Mexican border. All of the drivers of the cars were
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: taken into custody, but none of them could give us
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: any information and to aid us in obtaining a conviction.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: During that time, Hollan didn't make any attempt to handle
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: any narcotics. A dictograph had been placed in his office
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: and all of his conversations were monitored, but nothing incriminating
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: was said. We got the address of the new home
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: the suspect had bought, and a complete set of listening
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: equipment was installed there. From the time the couple moved
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: into the house, their conversations were monitored twenty four hours
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: a day. The recordings were played for Captain Nelson, Captain
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Shi of Narcotics Division, for the men from the District
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Attorney's office. They agreed that there wasn't enough evidence to
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: issue an indictment. Friday, August twenty eighth, Frank and I
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: checked into the listening post. I might as well sit down, Frank.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: We got a long night. It's gonna be better with

  Speaker 6: six thirty am, Frank and I, along with the men
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: from Narcotics Division, we're parked down the street from the
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Holland home. At eight thirty six am, we saw the
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: couple come out of the house and get into Ralph

• 24:46
  Speaker 4: They drove out to supervid of Boulevard.

• 24:59
  Speaker 6: confro him with the stories of the two suspects we

• 25:08

• 25:16
  Speaker 6: from the Sheriff's department took the thief into custody and
• 25:18

• 25:21
  Speaker 6: car over to the side of the road in front
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: of a small coffee stand. He and his wife got
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: out of the car and they went into the place.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: We drove by, and then we doubled back and parked
