  Speaker 7: Before we left the scene of the robbery and shooting, Mrs.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: Stendahl and her daughter gave us their description of the
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: holdup man together.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: With the clothing he wore.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: The suspect had no outstanding physical characteristics that they'd noticed.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: The only thing unusual about his clothing was that he
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: wore what appeared to be a baseball cap at the
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: time of the holdup. She described the cap as light
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: blue with a visor. Together with Officers Bechtel and Lopez
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: from Central Robbery, we canvassed the immediate neighborhood for other
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: possible witnesses. We found none. The next morning, we went
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: out to the hospital. The condition of the older daughter, June,
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: was critical. We interviewed the father. He could tell us nothing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: At 10 a.m., Mrs. Stendhal and her younger girl, Jenny,
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: were brought to the office and we started them looking
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: through mug books of parolees previously convicted of armed robbery.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Within two hours, both of them positively identified the picture
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: of a recent San Quentin release as that of the
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: holdup man.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: His name was Harold Best. We started a quick rundown.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: You pull the package on? Yeah, here's the dope. Harold Best.

• 9:47
  Speaker 7: months ago.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: M.O. and description both mad. How about the ex-con files
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: you're checking? He's registered. Did you get a hold of
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: his parole officer? Yeah, 2440 Excelsior Avenue. He's rooming us. Well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: that checks with the ex-con files. Parole officer says Bess

  Speaker 7: still living there. We had the landlady show us his room.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: Besides the usual personal belongings, we came across nothing of consequence...

• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Lopez went out to the hospital to see if Mr.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: Stendhal and his daughter June could identify best mug shots.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Ben and I drove out to the stadium to locate Mr.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: And Mrs.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Clyde Mitchell. There was a high school football game going on.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: High school kids sure have a lot of fun nowadays.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Best years of your life, Joe.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: You sound like you're 85.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: Some nights I feel like it. The way those kids
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: turn out for these things, you'd think USC and Notre
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Dame were playing.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: You see the number on that gate over there?
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, 23. That the number the gatekeeper gave him? Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Must be the Mitchell stand over there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: Come on. Oh, miss, can you tell us where to
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: find Mr. and Ms. Mitchell?
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, around back of the stand.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: You're knocking on the door. Thank you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, come on in.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Ms.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Mitchell?
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: That's all right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: Police officers.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I'd like to talk to you if you have a
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: few minutes.
• 16:04
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I'm having a bite of lunch, but come on in.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Shut the door.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Lousy food business. You never get a chance to feed yourself.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, you care for some of these? New kind of
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: potato chips. Revolutionary, it says.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Mother Thompson's puff chips, flavored. Get all kinds, see? These
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: here are a combination, uh, see? Garlic and eggplant. Sure
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: tastes different.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Have some?
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: No, I wouldn't, thank you.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Say, we're inquiring about a friend of yours, Ms.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Mitchell. Maybe you can tell us something about him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, who's that?
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: A man by the name of Herbert Best.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Herb, yeah. Old-time friend of my husband's. Why do you
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: want to know?
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: You see him quite often, do you, Ms. Mitchell?
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Once, twice a month. Clyde and I play cards or
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: go out bowling with him. Herb's pretty a company.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: When's the last time you saw him?
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Early this week, Tuesday, I think it was.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: Sure it was Tuesday.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Let's see, yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: It was.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: We played cards, why?
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: At your place?
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: That's right, a little poker. Clyde and Herb and me.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: What time did Best get to your place, Mrs.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: Mitchell?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Right after I finished up with the dinner dishes, around 7.45,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I'd say.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: How long did he stay?
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: A couple of hours. We sat around, had a few drinks,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: played poker, nickel limit.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: What time did he leave?
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Do you remember that?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: A little before 10, I think.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Are you sure of that, ma'am? It's important.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Sure as I can be.
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: He must have left before 10 because Clyde and I
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: listened to the 10 o'clock news alone.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Then we went to bed right after.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: Your friend Best tells us he didn't leave your place
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: until midnight.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's not right. Herb must be mixed up. He
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: left before 10. I'm sure of that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: All right, Ms. Mitchell. Thank you.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: See, I hope I haven't said anything I shouldn't have.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: I know Herb's an ex-con.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: He likes to gamble. I'm not checking up on him
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: for Tuesday night, are you?
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: You playing too much poker?
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: We're not playing enough. 3.30 p.m.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: We located Mr. Mitchell, corroborated his wife's story, and then
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: we went back to the city hall. Officers Bechtel and
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Lopez were waiting for us. They told us that they
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: had seen Mr. Stendahl and his daughter June at the hospital.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Both of them had identified Herbert Best's mugshot as that
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: of the holdup man.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: At a show-up, Mrs. Stendahl and her daughter identified Best.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: We checked auto records for all stolen cars that might
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: tie in.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: There were none.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: We then started to work on the theory that he'd
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: taken a bus from his friend's place where he had
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: been playing cards to the Stendhal Bakery.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Where the shooting took place.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: Lopez and Bechtel rode the bus over the same route.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: It took 43 minutes, plenty of time for Best to
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: have gotten from one place to the other, even on
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: a slow run. We interviewed the bus driver who'd been
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: on duty that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Particular line Tuesday night between 10 p.m.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: And midnight.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: He identified Best as one of his passengers, but he
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: didn't remember where he got off. The next morning, Ben
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: and I met with Ed Walker, captain of the robbery.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: How'd you make out? Just saw the deputy DA. Made
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: out the case for him.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: We got the complaint. He'll be arraigned this afternoon. How
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: strong a case you got?
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: Well, each one of the Stendhal family identified Best. His
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: alibi didn't stand up for Tuesday night.
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: And we got that bus driver. He tapped Best, too.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: And that blue baseball cap. All we need now is
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: the hold-up gun.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: I hate to spoil it for you.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: Hmm?
• 19:03
  Speaker 15: This letter just came through the mail. Have a look.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Thanks.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: What do you think?
• 19:08
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: I read in the paper this morning about Herbert Best.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: You've got the wrong guy. I'm the one who held
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: up that bacon. Every detail about that robbery is written
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: down in that letter. The information wasn't in the newspaper story.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: Nobody else but the holdup man would know all those details. Yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: wait a minute, isn't it?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: If you don't believe I'm the right man, I'll shoot
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: up a couple of more jerks. Next time, I'll kill them.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: It's no crank, buddy. No, it isn't. You got the
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: wrong man.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: You are listening to Dragnet, the case history of a
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: police investigation presented in the public interest. by Fatima Cigarettes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: If you smoke a long cigarette, it will be in
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: your interest to listen to this case history recorded by
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: a typical Fatima smoker.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Hi there.
• 20:00
  Speaker 16: My name is Bab Beckwith. Bab, that's short for Bethany
• 20:04
  Speaker 16: Ann Beckwith. I live in New York City and I'm
• 20:06
  Speaker 16: a fashion stylist. The other day at a showing of
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: the New Fall Styles, I ran out of cigarettes. A
• 20:13
  Speaker 16: friend of mine, a designer, introduced me to the new
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: long Fatima. I really wish someone had told me about
• 20:19
  Speaker 16: them sooner. Fatimas are a lot milder than the cigarettes
• 20:23
  Speaker 16: I've been smoking, and they have a delightful flavor, too.
• 20:27
  Speaker 16: I'm very glad to recommend them to you, because I
• 20:30
  Speaker 16: know from experience... It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: And more and more smokers every day are finding that out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Actual figures show extra mild Fatima has more than doubled
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: its smokers coast to coast.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: The king size cigarette which contains the finest Turkish and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: domestic tobaccos superbly blended to make it extra mild.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better flavor and aroma.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: You will agree.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: The best of all long cigarettes.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: After we received the anonymous letter in the mail confessing
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: to the Stendhal Bakery holdup, we met with the Deputy
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: District Attorney. We acquainted him with the new facts in
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: the case. That afternoon, the charges against Herbert Best were dropped.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: We started again at the beginning. 10 a.m.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Monday, November 9th.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: The members of the Stendhal family were again shown mug
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: books of ex-cons with robbery records. This time, they picked
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: out eight mug shots of known robbery men, each with
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: a marked resemblance to the original suspect, Herbert Best. Together
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: with Officers Bechtel and Lopez, we started.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Checking them out.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: The first two days, we tracked down four of the eight.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: All of the four were in the clear. 5.15 p.m.,
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: we got back to the city hall.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: The car pulled.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: See any empty spots, Joe?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: No, but don't park it in any one of the
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: city councilman's stalls.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it might get sore.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Well, why don't you pull up here? Boyd will take
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: care of it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay. That's just good right there, huh? Oh, Garnet,
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: I knew there's something I forgot to do. What's that? Oh,
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: they had an underwear sale today. That place down in
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: South Fayette, shorts, T-shirts. Wife told me to be sure
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and get down there.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, that'll be another one.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: That place has sales all the time, don't they? Only
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: twice a year on underwear. Stuff I've got's not gonna
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: last till the next time.
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: Friday, Ben, wait a minute.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: I'll tune back from here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Hi, Beck. Hi.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: What up?
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how'd you make out?
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: Two men we checked were clean. Picked up something 77th
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: Street Station.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: Go ahead, Ben. All right. Watch that elevator door. I'm sorry.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: What's with 77th Street?
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: A couple of men in traffic out there covered an.
• 22:57
  Speaker 12: Accident this afternoon. 91st and Central hit and run. One
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: of our traffic cars saw the collision and took out
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: after the guy. Chased him ten blocks. While they were
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: chasing him, they thought they saw the driver throw something.
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: Out of the car window.
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: What?
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: I'm coming to that. They finally pulled the car over.
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: Great coup.
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: The driver told him his shoulder was wrenched in the accident.
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: He was on his way to his own doctor.
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: Mm-hmm.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: Our men took him to 77th Street, had the doctor
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: look at him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: Well, the doctor was treating the guy. Only one of
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: the officers was in the room.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: When he turned to get a drink of water, the
• 23:27
  Speaker 12: suspect slugged him. Then the doctor jumped out of the
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: window and got away.
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: Teletype's out on him.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: They went through an awful lot of trouble to beat
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: a traffic rap.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the way to impress the boys out there.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: They got out of broadcasting.
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: The guy went back to the spot where they thought
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: they saw the guy toss this thing out of his
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: car when they were chasing him.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: Did it pay off? They found a.
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: 32 Colt revolver. Our rest camp's checking it now over
• 23:49
  Speaker 12: in the crime lab.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: What'd they say the man looked like?
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: Description measure's pretty close to our holdup guy.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: I'll get it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Robbery Friday. Yeah, just a minute.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: See you back.
• 24:00
  Speaker 15: Oh, thanks.
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah, Russ.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: Okay, fine, right.
• 24:10
  Speaker 17: Russ Camp checked the. 32 revolver with the slugs in
• 24:12
  Speaker 17: the Stendhal case.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Positive make.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: The gray coupe, which the unidentified suspect had been driving,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: had been checked out by traffic officers at 77th Street Division.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: They had found that the owner and driver of the.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: Car was a man named Bruno Stock, a two-time loser
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: with a page full of major and minor crimes to
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: his credit. We checked his mama's sheet, and we got
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: out a broadcast on him in an APB.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: A stakeout had been placed at his last known address.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: We picked up a sandwich and a.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Cup of coffee for dinner, and then we started checking
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: out Bruno Stock's relatives and friends. By 6 o'clock the
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: following night, we still had.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: No idea where he was.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: A little after 9 p.m., we got a call from
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: an informant who told us that a Tommy Josephson, a
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: small-time thief and reputedly a friend of Bruno Stock's.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Wanted to talk to us.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: We found him in a small apartment over on West 6th.
• 24:59
  Speaker 15: One thing I want to set you straight on. Bruno's
• 25:01
  Speaker 15: no friend of mine. He's in on the heavy rackets.
• 25:04
  Speaker 15: No heavy racket man's a friend of mine.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: All right, we got it. Now, where's Bruno?
• 25:07
  Speaker 15: He came here tonight, quarter after six. Moved right in
• 25:10
  Speaker 15: on me. Didn't even ask me. What do you want
• 25:12
  Speaker 15: with you? Now, you remember, Bruno's no friend of mine.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we got that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Now, what do you want?
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: A gun.
• 25:17
  Speaker 15: He knew I had one. I keep it for self-protection.
• 25:20
  Speaker 15: You can't trust these heavy men.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: And you give him a gun?
• 25:23
  Speaker 15: Give it to him.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: He took it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 15: Shook me down like a rat. Made me go out
• 25:26
  Speaker 15: and buy dinner for him. My own dog. Have to
• 25:29
  Speaker 15: bring it back here from.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 15: Bruno's no friend of mine. What he does with that
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: gun is his grief. It's out of my hands.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: When did he leave here?
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: An hour ago, I think. Maybe a little less. Shook
• 25:40
  Speaker 15: me down like a rat. Real heavy guy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Where was Bruno going?
• 25:43
  Speaker 15: I don't know. He's crazy. All them heavy guys are crazy.
• 25:46
  Speaker 15: Talk like somebody with a paper head. Can you tell
• 25:48
  Speaker 15: me where he was going? I see a friend of
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: his over in Dogtown. Guy runs a bowling alley. Bruno's
• 25:53
  Speaker 15: going to borrow his car.
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: What for?
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: He's heavy, I tell you. Said he was going out
• 25:57
  Speaker 15: on a heist tonight. Did he ever write you guys
• 26:01
  Speaker 15: a letter?
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 26:02
  Speaker 15: Well, he told me he was going to prove what
• 26:04
  Speaker 15: he wrote to you. Crazy. I didn't get it at all.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 26:08
  Speaker 15: Said he was going out to kill a couple of jerks.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: 9.30 p.m.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: We got the address of the bowling alley run by
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Bruno Stock's friend and we called the office. An alert
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: for the suspect was broadcast immediately. Together with Gene Bechtel
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: and Lopez, we drove to the bowling alley.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Ben and I went in. Bechtel and Lopez covered the outside.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: It's a good crowd. I wonder where they do business.
