  Speaker 1: I drove out to the Carston home to talk to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the swing was Joan and tell her they had no
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: luck at all. They were still shaking up in the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: excitement and shock of their experience. They went back to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the living room of their mother, Helen Carson.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: That was the same thing this morning when I tried
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: to question, They just don't wanna talk about it.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Must have been horrible for her. Did he tell you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: anything at all? Heaut, Well, Joan, just where she is,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: just to talk about.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: It, she says, The man's big. It's all I could
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: get out of the tell heverythings, a little more willing
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: to talk, though she's always been a little more forward
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: than Joan, and ever since they were baby.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I see, Well, could she ever anything? Although what
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: your other little girl told you about the man?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: He told his father the man had a mistake, probably
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: impressed her because my husband worries one too.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Pretty certain she's right about that. I usually tell them
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: she's making up things. Well, how about the other man
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: was dressed his clothes?
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: No, they didn't mess anything particularly, Tell he told me
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: the man was dirty? She said it two or three
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: times dirty, three clothes she might have met the man
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: had work.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Clothes on the so many expressions. I don't know. Well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: how did the man? I can't get your little girls
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: into the truck. You offer them candy or something like that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Till he said something about a kitten. The man he
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: had a little kitten, and he was gonna give it
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: to them. I told him about that once. I told
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: him a thousand times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Throw it away from the strangers, don't go with him. Yes, ma'am.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Does they tell anyone else at all about the man's assistance?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Till he said the man is big. I don't know
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: if you could count on that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Everybody looks big to her. I talked to her in
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: all her but she just kept repeating the same story.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: And I made them cry till.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Her they dressed.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: It hurt them.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It's horrible for him. Yes, ma'am. Did he tell you
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: anything at all about the truck the man was dritting?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe the color or something like that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Well till he called it a big car, funny big car.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: She said it was red with red pictures all over it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: He can't put much faith in that, though, Oh nothing, man, Well,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: everything's red to Tilly now everything has.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Red pictures on her, just the phase she's going through
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: a few weeks agot was blue.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Everything was blue to her, and now it's red.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Everything's read y see, Well, you think they might be
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: able to tell you a little more in the day
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: or so after they've quieted down.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know. I certainly hope.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So thank god it's all over their home safe.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: That's all it counts.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm there. There's more to it than that, right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The man that did it still free. Monday, August nine,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the search for the suspect went on all of us.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: But then from giving them homicide detail, we're pretty much
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: feeling our way in the dark. Repeated questions of residence,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: whether in the area, whether your DestinE took place, met it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It's nothing. Our two star witnesses, the four year old twins,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: were able to contribute little. We stayed on it. Another
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: threetings of founding the pavement, knocking on doors and asking
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: them stock questions, but nowhere well. Well, most cases like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: this one, the criminal enjoyed the the spoke advantage of
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: having victims who were unable because of their age to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: termally identify 'em. Two of the August tenth and the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: lother afternoon, we got a call from up Bernie's popper
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: or real estate anything in the West Hollywood area four
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: fifteen pm. Then then I go back to interviewer. Excuse
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in the office, I just got to find out looking

  Speaker 5: Got to be here at some place, No, yesterday morning,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: and remember they just think, oh here it is. Yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: now I he started to do business again. Well, I
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: don't know if it's gonna help you and in your
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: case officers, but I certainly think something should be done
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Fragrant and it is the only way I can think.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just fragrant. Well, did you like to tell us
• 19:38

  Speaker 2: mans which I used to protect the linoson. On December tenth,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: trial was held in Superior Court, Department eighty seventh, City
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: and County of Los Angeles, State of California.

  Speaker 1: In a moment, the results of that trial now here
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: is our star Jack Webb. Thank you friends. As you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: might have heard me say before on dragnet, we try
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to present the kind of entertainment that you want. You're
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the boss who feel the samely about fatillas. If you
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: like him, we'll smoke 'em. It's just that simple.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: It was for me.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I like him. But what's more important, I'm convinced that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you will too. Fatinas have a much different, much better
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: flavor in a Roman than any other long cigarette.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: So I suggest that you buy a packet Patinas.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You see for yourself. Who will do? And sure we'll
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: agree with me and thousands of other regular Fatina smokers
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: in Fatima. The difference is quality.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Lester Wiley waived his rights to a preliminary hearing, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: at his arraignment in Superior Court, he entered a plea
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: of guilty to one count of kidnapping and one count
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of child molesting. He received the sentence as prescribed by
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: law and is now serving his term in the state penitentiary.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You have just heard drag met a series of authentic
• 28:42
