- 9:35on the scene to aid in the investigation of the killing. The neighborhood where
- 9:39the Fairdeal Hotel was located was covered for a half mile around. By nine
- 9:41o'clock, the parade was over and the area was cleared. We had a
- 9:46single lead to work with in checking out the different taxicab stands in the neighborhood.
- 9:50We found out that three separate fares had been picked up within two blocks
- 9:54of the hotel. Four minutes after the shooting, Ben and I went to
- 9:56the office of the taxicab company. Abs and question were called in and the
- 10:01waybills were checked. The times of the three different trips were listed, and
- 10:05so was the address of each destination. We copied down the addresses and then
- 10:07interviewed the drivers. We're gonna give each one of you half a dozen fixtures,

- 10:35Let me see. Where'd you pick up this man? About a block
- 10:39from a hotel. I drove him to a place on fourteenth Street, same
- 10:43address on the wait beat Ben, Yeah, Alford Garvey, Ben and I,
- 10:50along with Ricketson Chandler from Homicide, drove out to the fourteenth Street address
- 10:54another small trenchon hotel. The clerk on duty identified Garvey from his mugs.
- 11:01He said the suspect had called at the hotel at about seven forty five that
- 11:03night and asked to see one of the guests, Missus Lorraine Thomas. The
- 11:07clerk said he told Garvey Missus Thomas was out, that she hadn't been there
- 11:11for four days. Ricketson Chandler went on steakout in the lobby of the hotel,
- 11:15and Ben and I went up to the second floor to stake out missus
- 11:18Thomas's room. Friday eleven, twenty five am, Lorraine Thomas returned to the
- 11:22hotel and was taken into custody. We took her a homicide and questioned her
- 11:26for more than an hour. She admitted that she was acquainted with Garvey,
- 11:28but that's all. One o'clock we went to Clifton's cafeteria for lunch. Yeah,
- 11:33I can't take this track, Thanks silverware. Get here a little earlier,
- 11:39you wouldn't get it. Look at that line. You were the first

- 16:03are listening to Dragnett. The case history of a police investigation presented in the
- 16:07Public Interest. Saturday, April twenty ninth, last rites were held for Sergeant
- 16:19John Maxwell and he was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery. A guard of honor
- 16:23from the Police Department was present, along with most of the men Maxwell had
- 16:26worked with in Bunco fugitive detail. The Chief of Detectives delivered a short eulogy
- 16:33and one of the men from the department band sounded taps over the grave.
- 16:38We got back to the opposite at noon, checked in at the record bureau.
- 16:41A photo copyroom had taken negatives of Garvey's and Flemings coming out mugs and
- 16:45made duplicates that were distributed to all officers. The steakouts continued at the fair
- 16:51Deal in the fourteenth Street Hotel, where Lorraine Thomas was staying. She was
- 16:55put under protective custody. Ben and I Rickettson Chandler went on steakout at the
- 16:59Three Kings, his liquor store on Wilshire Boulevard. It was a large,
- 17:02modern place and it did a volume business, especially on Saturday night. Ricketson
- 17:07Chandler covered the store from the outside. Ben and I were stationed in the
- 17:10supply room at the rear of the place, where we had the main counter
- 17:12and most of the store in full view. We set up a pre arrange
- 17:15signal with a clerk on duty, and if and when Garvey and Fleming showed
- 17:19up, the clerk was to accidentally knock an empty bottle off the counter.
- 17:22Were waited until midnight. Nothing happened. It's the first customer in half an
- 17:30hour's kind of slow. Yeah, wait a minute, here comes another one.
- 17:33No soon, it's a woman clerk, sure got the jitters I put
- 17:45in with him. Oh, I could go for a hamburger. I wasn't
- 17:52very hungry. Then I couldn't known them bory boy. Yeah, thanks,
- 17:57Wait a minute, the customer, Yeah, man, can't see his face
- 18:03too well with a head on. Can you that's Fleming? Come on,
- 18:08police officers, get your hands up. Why should go you're hitting? It's
- 18:15going out the front. Come on, Rickets and China stopped him. Yeah
- 18:22he's down, Watch him get the gun. Yeah, yeah, here it.
- 18:30That's Flemming all right, Ricketts, call an ambulance. What's the score?
- 18:34Looks like one in the shoulder and legs too. What about Garby?
- 18:38I don't know. What do you think Fleming stopped all the slugs? Yeah,
- 18:42let's ask him. The wounded suspect was tweeted at Georgia Street Receiving Hospital
- 18:52and then booked into the prison ward at the General Hospital at eleven am the
- 18:55next day. We questioned him, but he refused to admit that he even
- 18:57knew Alfred Garvey. We requestioned Fleming for the next three days, with no
- 19:02results. The stakeouts continued, the search went on. There was no response
- 19:07to our APV. Garvey was still at large. As far as we were
- 19:11concerned, there was only one way to get directly to Garvey, and that
- 19:14was through Fleming. We called on Lorraine Thomas again and asked her that if
- 19:18she'd try to get some information on Fleming. Try to get him to talk
- 19:21and to tell her where Garvey was. I'm not even sure if he knows
- 19:25where Garby's hiding. You must have a good idea. Even if he has,
- 19:29you're not going to tell me. You wouldn't trust me that fun go
- 19:30further with you, and he will with us. He wanted to give us
- 19:33his name from Fred. It's up to you this times. Why can't you
- 19:37let me out of this? I looked figured it this way. You knew
- 19:40about Fleming and Garvey. You knew they were in town, knew what they
- 19:42were up to. He didn't break your back to save that dead cops life.
- 19:45Garvey shot him. I did you know he was a killer. You
- 19:48know he had a gun. What do you want me to do? Get
- 19:52close to Fleming, visit him every day till he tek he doesn't trust me
- 19:56I told you, and get him to trust her with you two favors for
- 19:59him. He wants to contact friends to raise money for a lawyer. Help
- 20:03him do that, run errands, do anything for him within reason. Suppose
- 20:06he finds out about the holder that I told you about it, He's got
- 20:10a long stretch a hit him. He won't bother you. They'll kill me
- 20:11if they find out. They wouldn't wait a minute. They won't find out,
- 20:17all right, won't be my fault. Al did the shooting, he
- 20:22killed the cop. Let him square it up. He'll square it with the
- 20:23cork. There's only one trouble. Yeah, Maxwell's wife and kids. Hot
- 20:26is Al square with him. In the morning of May eighth, suspect Jack
- 20:33Fleming was removed from his private room and wheeled down to the X ray lab
- 20:37on the pretext of treatment. While he was absent, a dictaphone was placed
- 20:41in his room by a sand crew from the crime lab. Fleming was then
- 20:45returned that afternoon while Ben and I listened in on earphones in the next room,
- 20:49Lorraine Thomas paid her first visit to Fleming. We had briefed her on
- 20:53how to proceed in getting a suspect to talk, in particular to reveal Garvey's
- 20:57hideout. Was a slow process. For the next fifteen days, between the
- 21:02hours of two and four in the afternoon, missus Thomas visited Fleming while Ben
- 21:06and I monitored their conversation in the adjoining room. For fifteen days, despite
- 21:10all our shows of confidence, Fleming refused to confide he was sullen and close
- 21:14mouthed. Some afternoons, he would hardly speak to her. On the sixteenth
- 21:18day, his mood seemed to be improving. Here, let me taxcept to
- 21:22look for you. Jack, is that belly? That's good? Thanks.
- 21:33I got in touch with Dave and Johnny like you asked me to. Let
- 21:40me say. Rollie said they could get you the money for the lawyer the
- 21:45day after tomorrow Day said he might be over to see you tonight. It's
- 21:49fine. Once I get a lawyer, I'll stop worrying. I stopped by
- 21:56Danelli's place too. Pap Royce was in there, going back tomorrow to see
- 22:00him. You ought to be able to help. You've been okayla right.

- 22:14from. That brought you some new magazines, a couple of candy bars.
- 22:22Put him over here and there the bad way. Yeah. Sure, let
- 22:23me get him for you. Yeah, Jack, I'll put him right here
- 22:30on this table. I'll bring you some more tomorrow. That's fine. You're
- 22:36gonna try and see prop Rose again tomorrow. Yeah, they told me.
- 22:40Being around noon. For sure, I don't see him, then I'll keep
- 22:42trying till I do. Yeah, that's it. Oh, listen, something
- 22:47else here. I don't want to talk loud that cops might have bought this
- 22:52room. Yeah. Well tonight, I want you to go to Georgia's giant,

- 23:30let's go. Ten pm, the detail of three cars followed Lorraine Thomas to
- 23:38the Blue Moon Tavern on South Flower Street. We parked down the block and
- 23:41watched her go in. At fifteen minutes past eleven, she came out with
- 23:45a small, fat man in a dark blue suit. They got in a
- 23:48tan colored coop and drove south. The cruiser cars, using three way radio,
- 23:52tailed the coop alternately out through the Echo Park area and then back to
- 23:56the starting point at the Blue Moon Tavern. Lorraine Thomas went back into the
- 24:00bar with a man and twenty minutes later came out, caught a taxi and
- 24:03took it to our hotel on Fourteenth Street. We drove back to the office.
- 24:06It was five minutes past one am. That's it. I get it.

- 24:49three pm, an immediate stakeout was placed at the suspected hide out.
- 24:55The detail of twenty plain clothesmen began filtering into the neighborhood in the vicinity of
- 24:59ten thirty two Alamos Street, A three story apartment house at that address was
- 25:03checked thoroughly and then covered on all sides. Apartment three on the first floor
- 25:08was checked out too. Was registered to a Thomas King, whom the manager
- 25:14identified as Alfred Garvey from his mugshot. To avoid pedestrian casualties, we toured
- 25:19the immediate vicinity between three and four point thirty that afternoon, advising residents and
- 25:23storekeepers to clear the street and stay inside. At four thirty five pm,
- 25:29the men in the detail took up their assigned positions. We waited, hold
- 25:33out a light ways. Yeah, I'll have a lot of trouble for that
- 25:41punk Garvy. It'd be more trouble if he doesn't show most sex left can
- 25:45poope coming down the street behind it, say one retail last night, a
- 25:49girl driving his two guys waiting. You know, Garvey's one of them.
- 25:53They're pulling up. Ready, Wait a minute, let's go police officers.
- 26:06Hold it right there. Oh, don't get up. Throw them in,
- 26:11Garby, you haven't got a chance. I hold both. Come on,
- 26:29Den the other guy, rotten case, rotten business. The story you have
- 26:45just heard was true, only the names were changed to protect the innocent.
- 26:51On August second, trial was held in Superior Court Department ninety three, city
- 26:55in County of Los Angeles, State of California. In a moment the results
- 26:59of that trial, Jack Fleming, the only survivor of the hold up gang,
- 27:14was found guilty of several counts of armed robbery. Garvey's accomplices who aided
- 27:18him in hiding out were tried and convicted of being accessories. They are serving
- 27:23prison terms as prescribed by law. You have just heard Dragnets, a series
- 27:33of authentic cases from official files Technical Advice Board. Dragnet comes from the Office
- 27:38of Chief of Police W. A. Wharton, Los Angeles Police Department.
- 27:52The Halls of Ivy is pleasant. Listening tomorrow on NBC Welcome Back. Maybe
- 28:07I should have included a warning for people who are getting hungry, because it
- 28:11was getting close to dinner time when I was listening to that, and the
- 28:17cafeteria scene was causing me all kinds of problems. This sounds good. I
- 28:22think I really am hungry. I had a sense as soon as Max got
- 28:27a ride from Friday and Romero that he was a dead man. It does
- 28:33make me wonder how rules in modern departments work for these sort of situations,
- 28:40giving a ride to an off duty officer who was presumably unarmed since he was
- 28:47technically out of the office. It seems like this huge liability issue for the
- 28:53police and also just a safety risk to the officer. And you makes you
- 28:59want whether occurrences like this have led various departments to tighten up rules on having
- 29:07these sort of ride shares on duty. Obviously they didn't expect the Garvy to
- 29:17be carrying a gun. You know, he was wanted on a forgery warrant,
- 29:22but you never know when you go out to get a suspect, and
- 29:26so I wonder how the modern departments handle this. All right, well,
- 29:30listener comments and feedback, and we start with Alexis over on Good Pods and
- 29:36Alexis Rights regarding the Big Watch. Once again, the sound effects make this
- 29:41theater of the mind crystal clear, and I definitely agree, and there are
- 29:45some really good effects on this week's episode as well. The sounds of the
- 29:52parade and the sounds of the cafeteria, you know, very distinct, and
- 29:57the sound of the cafeteria, Yeah, it made it so you could taste
- 30:02it, but that may just have been me. And also I want to
- 30:06thank Alexis for rating an episode of Mister Chameleon, the Bottom paid For Murder
- 30:12Case, as well as the Dangerous Assignment episode, the Stolen Computer looprints.
