  Speaker 7: Anyone, No, never, I'm very worried, Sergeant.

  Speaker 5: I gather you know most of your brother's friends. You've
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: kept in fairly close touch with him.
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: Yes, we get together at least once a week. As
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: I say, I'm four years older than Ralph. I've looked
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: after him since we were kids. We've always been together,
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: last five or six years, especially ever since Mama died.

  Speaker 6: Your brother in the habit of carrying large sums of

  Speaker 6: money around with him, do you know?
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: No, not that I know of. He has a good job.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: He's not getting rich at it, though.
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: I don't think I've ever seen Ralph with more than
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: twenty thirty dollars on him at a time.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Who was the last person to see him? Miss you
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: any idea?
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: I talked to Ralph's land lady. She told me she
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: saw Ralph and this friend of his, Andy Howard, going
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: into Ralph's apartment. That was about six o'clock Sunday night.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: Ralph was supposed to meet me at seven point thirty.
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: Never showed up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Well, this friend of your brother's, miss table, this Andy Howard.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Are you acquainted with him?
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: Yes, but I don't know him too well. I only
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: met him two or three times. He lives in the
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: apartment house next door to Ralph's. So the two of
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: them were friends in the navy together during the war.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Good friends.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: You try to get in touch with this Andy Hard.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: I called Ralph's apartment when he didn't show up for
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: our dinner date Sunday night. Wasn't any answer, so I
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: looked up Andy's number in the phone book and called him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Was he at home?
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: Tried to talk to him, but it didn't do much good.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: Stream How's that he pretended he didn't even know me.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: After we finished our interview with Edith Tabor, ed Jacobs
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and I started out to double check with all unknown
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: friends and associates of her brother. We talked to his
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: employer and the people he worked with. None of them
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: had seen him subsequent to six o'clock Sunday night. None
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: of them could think of any good reason why he
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: suddenly would want to pick up and leave his job
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and friends. The people he knew outside of his work
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: told us the same thing. Nobody could explain it. Along
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the way, we inquired about Ralph Tabor's friend, Andy Howard.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Most of the people we talked to knew him as
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: a close friend of Tabor's. We checked at Howard's place
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: of employment, but they told us he hadn't shown up
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: for work since the previous Friday. We drove to Howard's apartment,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: checked with a manager, and he said that Howard had
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: moved without notice. Late Sunday night, we crossed over to
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: the apartment house next door where Tabor lived and talked
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to the landlady and missus Higby. She corroborated the story
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: we'd gotten from Tabor's sister that Andy Howard was last
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: seen entering Tabor's apartment at about six o'clock Sunday night.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Tabor was with him. Missus Higby was sure of that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: She showed us up to the third floor to Ralph
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Tabor's apartment. The two rooms and the adjoining kitchenette were immaculate.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: There wasn't a thing out of place.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I need us a pin Joe, not a thing out order.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same in the bedroom, same as Higby. Yes,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: do you provide maide service with the apartments here?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: No, we don't.
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: We've been thinking about it though, haven't made up our minds.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: Such a task getting good competent health.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: These days, the tenants are responsible for the entire upkeep.
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: Yes, everything, painting, wall, papering, things like that. Doesn't mister Taber,
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: keep things spotless, just spotless.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am, it's just one thing I want to ask
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: you about. It's over here by the window.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, this wire here apparently an aerial connection for a
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: television set, which like.
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: Yes, mister Taber does have a television Why.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't notice a set anywhere in the apartment.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Would you have to recall if he sent it out
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: for repairs anything like that?
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: No, not that I know of.
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: Besides, this doesn't seem like mis to table at all.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: What do you mean, miss Higby? He's always so.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: Neat, fastidiously And that wire there looks like it was
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: torn off the connection, doesn't it along the window sill too,
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: is not terrible fastness for the wire right out of
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: the woodwork. That certainly doesn't seem like mister Tabor.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Anyone else besides him have access to this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: Apartment man, No one that I know of, No one
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: besides myself.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: I mean I have duplicate keys to all the apartments.
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: Well, I just happened to think, yes, ma'am, if a
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: repair man did move to set out, it's possible my
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: hosboy might know about it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: Sam, that's my houseboy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: How would he know about it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Well, it's the rule of the house.
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: All furniture heavy things like that, they have to be
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: taken down in the freight elevator. Dope's right onto the
• 9:19
  Speaker 10: alley in the back of the building. It's very handy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am.
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: Sam's the only one who operates that elevator. That's why
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: I say it's possible he might know about it. Would
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: you like to have me ask him?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I wonder if you would please, surely it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: Won't take a bit a minute and I'll be.
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: Right back, Thank you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Joe, you want to have a look over here? Yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: what do you got?
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: It's all bed here. I tried to pull it down
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: and stuck stand right here over here. See if you
• 9:47
  Speaker 11: notice anything?
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. You want to give me a hand?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: See if we can't get the bed down? Yeah, push
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: in on your side there, Okay, that's it. Okay, it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: coming down.
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: There, good lad. Yeah, Tabor, you think.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: All the description seems to fit. Beaten to death looks
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: like dinner.
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: Something sticking out under the bedcover is there?
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah? It's a clawhammer stains all over it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: Vicious guess a killer one.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: To make sure it's all of the worst i've seen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: Feel sorry for the sister. She's pretty close to him.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: It's gonna be tough on her, No tougher than it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Was for him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Two point thirty eight pm, we phoned the office, told
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: him what we'd found, and then we put in a
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: call for Lieutenant Lee Jones and the crime lab grew
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: While we were waiting, we questioned the landlady again, missus Higbee.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: She said her houseman Sam told her he knew nothing
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: about a television set being moved out of.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Ralph Tabor's apartment.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: However, it was possible somebody could have taken the set
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: down in the main elevator late at night without being seen.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Missus Higby also told us that Tabor had a car.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: We checked the apartment garage, but it was gone. All
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: missus Higby could tell us was that it was a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: late model and the table often loanded to his friend
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Andy Howard. Sergeant's Al Shambra and Joe Lamonica from Homicide
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: arrived and together the four of us interviewed the employees
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: and the tenants in the apartment building.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: They gave us little or nothing at all.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: A few minutes before three pm, the crime lab crew
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: showed up and started their preliminary investigation.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: We put in a call for the coroner.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: From the obvious lack of fingerprints and usual places around
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the apartment, it was apparent that the murderer had taken
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: great precautions to cover his tracks. Three point thirty five
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: pm the deputy coroner arrived and after the preliminary investigation
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: was finished, the body was removed to the county morgue
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Ed and I went back to the office, checked our
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: DMV and got out on all points on Tabor's car
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and also on the friend he was last seen with,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Andy Howard.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: R and I turned up a single.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Entry for Howard's criminal record, a drunk driving charge. Five
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: twenty pm we met with Edith Taber and broke the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: news of her brother's death. When she recovered from the shock,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: we interviewed her briefly.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: It was Andy Howard.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: I know it was him. It had to be.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Why do you say that, miss Tavan or something about
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: this man? How hard You haven't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: Told us he's no good search and he's no good
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: at all. That's what I've been afraid of. I've been
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: afraid of it right along.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Well, just how do you mean, ma'am? He's no good.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: He's a tramp of bum. We'll get a job. He's
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: been living off my brother.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: He isn't normal.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: There's something wrong with him.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Well, how is it your brother put up with him?
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: I told you he and Ralph were friends in the navy.
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: He did a big favor for Ralph once. He's been
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: living off it ever since, taking his clothes, borrowing his car, money,
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: never paying it back.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Why do you think he killed your brother?
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: Miss?
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: I just know it, that's all he did it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: He ever fight with your brother? Would you have to know?
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Did he ever threaten him?
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: They had a big fight one about two weeks ago.
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: I think Andy kept sponging until Ralph got good and
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: sick of it, told Andy to go out and get
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: a job. That's when the fight started.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: You saw it, did you?
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: Ralph told me about it. Fist fight in the alley
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: back of the apartment. Ralph knocked Andy down, and he
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: said he'd never forget it. He'd pay Ralph back. A
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: couple of days after that, my brother said the two
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: of them made up everything all right. Ralph should have
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: known better. He should have known better.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Just a few more questions, Miss Taborn, Can you tell
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: us anything about Andy, Howard's background, where he's from, whose
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: friends are places he usually goes?
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: No, I didn't know much about him. It's from the South,
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: I think Alabama. Ralph's friends can tell you more about
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: him than I can.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Had you heard anything lately about Howard planning to move
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: out of his apartment?
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Nothing?
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: When I heard that he didn't move when Ralph was missing,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: I knew something was wrong. That's why I called you.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: I only know him before, poor Ralph.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: If I only knew, well, I'll try to take it easy, man.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: We'll arrange for a car to drive you home, all right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: It's so hard to understand. Hard for anyone to kill
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Ralph like that? Horrible? It was so good. It was
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: my brother.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: Yes, What do you say to a man who kills
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: your brother?
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: How do you understand him? What do you tell? Well?
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Why even try?
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: What?
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Let the jury tell him?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Before we had the victim's sister, Edith Tabor, driven to
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: her home. We asked her about the television set in
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: her brother's apartment, but she was unable to explain its absence.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Burglary detail had already been notified about the case, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: the pawnshop detail alerted. An APB had been gotten out,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: containing a complete description of the TV set along with
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the serial numbers. A few minutes after we got back
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: from dinner that night, we had an answer on it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: A pawnshop operator on West Seventh Street called in with
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the information that he'd taken in a television set with
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: identical description and serial numbers as that of Tabor's. Ed
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: and I drove out to the pawnshop and checked the
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: operator's buy book. The set had been pawned the day
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: after the murder. The serial numbers and description matched in
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: every detail. The description and signature of the man who
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: pawned it matched perfectly with that of Ralph Taber's friend
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Andy Howard. The set was impounded, and just on a chance,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: we had Dean Bergmann dusted for latent fingerprints.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Dean, Oh, hi Eddy, how are you making out anyway?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Not bad?
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: Have a look here, Yeah, I picked up four sets
• 15:05
  Speaker 13: of Prince off at all told he's here, the dead
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: man's he's here. They belonged to the paunch op operator.
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: He's born to his son helps him in the shop. Huh,
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: I guess this is the one you're looking for. Too
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: clean index Prince to classify him, checked him against Prince
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: from Andrew Howard's package.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: You know they match.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: When we checked in for work the following morning, we
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: got the coroner's report on Ralph Tabor. Cause of death
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: was listed as cerebral hemorrhage and multiple fractures of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: skull caused by blows from a heavy blunt object. The
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: other reports from the crime lab didn't give us much help.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: The better part of.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: The next three days, ED and I, along with Al
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Shambra and Joe Lamonica, held detailed interviews with the known
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: friends and associates of the murder victim, Ralph Tabor and
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the number one suspect, Andy Howard. The information we picked
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: up was incorporated in a supplementary All Points bulletin and
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: gotten out immediately. We found out that Andy Howard had
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: a sailor's uniform in his possession and though authorized, he
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: wore it frequently. It bore the insignia of a Quartermaster
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: first class on the sleeve. We also found out Howard
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: had identical tattoos on each forearm, the picture of an
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: unfrilled American flag with a name Betty D below it.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: We had the city covered for the suspect. Four days passed,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: no trace of him. Saturday, November twenty fourth, we got
• 16:19

  Speaker 4: still no sign of the suspect. At midnight, our relief
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: team showed up and we headed back for the office.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: When we got there, there was a bulletin from the
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Highway Patrol reporting that earlier that night, a man partially
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: identified as Andy Howard had been seen heading north from
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: San Diego on US Highway one oh one toward Los Angeles.

  Speaker 4: On a phone, briefed him on the latest developments, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: told him that photographs of the suspect had been distributed
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: to all officers. The next ten hours failed to turn
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: up anything new. San Diego officers continued to cover their end.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Eleven fifteen pm the next day, we drove back to
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles and reported in a homicide there was a
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: note in the book from Lormon asking us to check
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: in early the following morning.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: So Ed and I signed out and went home to
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: get some sleep.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: The next morning, one am.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Hello Friday talking, Sorry to wake you up, Friday. This

  Speaker 5: is Hawkins down the business office. Oh yeah, Hawkins, what
• 23:13

• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Beat officer on.
• 23:15
  Speaker 17: In Wheelshair called in two or three minutes ago.
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: He figures he has your murder suspect for you, Andy Howard.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Bring him in now, Well, what about identification? He checked
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: that over.
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: Oh, no identification. He's wearing a sailor's you have.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: For what about insignia?
• 23:26
  Speaker 14: His ratings first class.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: After I hung up, I phoned Ed, got him out
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: of bed, and the two of us drove down to
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: the office where we picked up the suspect and took
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: him to the interrogation room. During the interrogation we found
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: a wallet concealed on his person. It contained a driver's license,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: credit card, and half a dozen other means of identification,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: All of them were made out to Ralph Tabor. After
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: an hour of questioning, he'd still admit nothing. He sat
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: hunched over in his chair, tearing an old envelope in
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: the small pieces and dropping them on the floor in
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: front of him.
• 24:00
  Speaker 19: I'll make the tenth time I told you I don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 19: know what happened to Ralph. I didn't take his car
• 24:04
  Speaker 19: or his television set. I didn't leave the city. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 19: wasn't in San Diego last week. Now, if you don't
• 24:09
  Speaker 19: believe me, you'll prove I'm lying.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: We didn't put in on them. Guess Andy, we'll prove it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: Do you mind telling me how we.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Got three people on their way in here right now?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Ralph Tabor's sister is Landlady, a man with a name
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: of Sims, pawn shop dealer.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Mean anything to you?
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: My word against there three to one, mister, I got
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: the odds in their favoring. Look, why don't we straighten
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: this out once and for all. You think I killed
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: my friend Ralph? Why explain it to me? Why should
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I kill him?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Look, I wouldn't know, Andy. Maybe you'd like to tell us.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: His sister says he was pretty good to you, She
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: was good to me. I guess she didn't tell you
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: what I did for him overseas when we were in
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the Navy together.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: No, she didn't tell us.
• 24:46
  Speaker 19: She wouldn't. Stupid women. I haven't found one of them
• 24:48
  Speaker 19: worth anything. Frustrated she needs a husband, that's her trouble.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: She claims her brother was paying the bills for you, Andy,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: He gave you clothes, money, his car.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: She says, you were living off them.
• 24:59
  Speaker 19: I say, and that's all the thanks I get. After
• 25:02
  Speaker 19: all I did for Ralph. I brought a few dollars. Yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 19: that's all. Kept throwing it up to me, him and
• 25:08
  Speaker 19: his sister. After all I did for him.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: What are you trying to say? Andy? Could have been
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: different Ralph than me?
• 25:15
  Speaker 19: What do you want me to say?
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Did you kill him? Did you kill him?
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: Andy?
• 25:21
  Speaker 19: You can't explain it that way. It's not as simple
• 25:23
  Speaker 19: as that. Didn't No, it's all mixed up together. It's complicated,
• 25:28
  Speaker 19: not simple at all. I mean with your best friend, especially,
• 25:33
  Speaker 19: it's more of a mistake. I mean, Marley, I didn't
• 25:36
  Speaker 19: mean to kill him.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I just did. It's a mistake, terrible mistake.
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: You want to give us a statement? Hard Smaga, pril

  Speaker 12: gratitude at all.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: You blame me.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: I mean after all I did for him.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: You blame me, Well, you should have remembered Andy about gratitude. Yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean much when you have to ask for it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: The story you have just heard was true. The names
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: On February fourth, trial was held in Superior Court Department
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: eighty nine, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: In a moment the results of that trial, Andrew Thomas
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Howard was tried and convicted of murder in the second degree.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: He is now serving his term in the State Penitentiary
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: San Quentin, California. Second degree murder is punishable by imprisonment
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: from five years to life.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, right now, inflation is America's number one
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: menace on the home front. It's the one enemy that
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: can lick America. We can help prevent this by working harder,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: working better. The fight against inflation will succeed only if
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: all of us get behind it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: You have just heard Dragnet a series of authentic cases
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: from official files. Technical advice comes from the Office of
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Heard tonight were Barney Phillips, Joyce McCluskey and Virginia Gregg.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Script by Jim Moser, music by Walter Schumann, hell Given speaking.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Next, it's David Harding and Pounder Spy on NBC.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, a solid missing person's case. This is
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: why where the title raises questions to me, because like
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the Big LIGHTE Scrap, this feels like a title that's
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: based on some production circumstances and the idea that you
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: would almost not end up recordings Ragnet, particularly when they
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: were doing so much of the series by transcription, seems
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: very odd. I mean, in nineteen fifty two, it was
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: one of the network's premiere programs. It was a show
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that had a sponsor, so them missing an episode would
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be kind of a big deal. So I don't know
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: why they almost missed it, or if somebody was, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe just a little bit anxious and exaggerating
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and picking that title. It is also one of those
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: titles that can make it challenging when it comes to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: matching radio programs to the TV episodes they were adapted from.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: There were a handful of TV episodes from the seventh
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: season of Dragnet that started to circulate online, and I
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: watched one, and I thought that episode was an original
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to TV program, but it wasn't. It was this story
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: adapted to television. Now, I haven't watched it in a while,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know if it would be particularly useful
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to go through it like seen by Seeing to see
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: where it differs. But I think it actually tracked pretty close.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: It was during the point that Frank Smith was Friday's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: partner and they were both actually up for promotion, which
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: they'd end up getting, and so there's a little bit
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of that in the plot, but other than that, it's
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: very much the same story for me. It was noteworthy
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: because the actor who played the San Diego police officer
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was William Boyett, and if you know your Jack Web television,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he played Sergeant MacDonald on Adam twelve, so that was
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a bit of a treat. Now, the episode was not
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: titled The Big Almost No Show. On YouTube, you can
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: find it as The Big Bit. Well, now it's time
