  Speaker 9: Last night, I sure wasn't expecting it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: You know, you read about things like that happening, but
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: you just never figure them happening to you.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. Of course, you've been in the business as long
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: as I have.
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: You ought to expect it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: At least that's the way I figure it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Well, okay. What do you want to know?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Well, according to what you told the officers last night.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: The man came in the place about 11.30, is that right?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: That's right, 11.30.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You sure about the time?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You see, I always look at that newscaster, 11.15, 11.30. Mm-hmm.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: He went off the air, and.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: They just put up the card where it tells what
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: station it is, and this guy walked right in.

  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I can't stand him myself.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: What? The newscaster.

  Speaker 4: I can't stand him. Me and the missus have gotten
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: some real bad beefs about him. Is that right? Oh, yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: She digs him, but I can't stand him myself. He's
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: a real no-good. Mm-hmm.
• 3:09
  Speaker 10: He's the kind of a guy where if some old
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: man spit in the sidewalk, he could build it up
• 3:11
  Speaker 10: so we should evacuate the whole city.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's like that. Mm-hmm. He's a real no-good. Mm-hmm.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I wonder if you'd check this description of the two
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: men who held you up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Sure. I know those two guys anyplace. Ever saw them again,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I'd sure know them.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: The tall one and the fat one. That's them. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: know them anyplace. What'd they say to you? Well, hardly
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: nothing at all. Just walked up to the bar, leaned over,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and told me to hand over the money.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I see. Do you remember the exact words?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: You mean the way they said it? Yeah. Well, let
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: me see.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I think it was, uh.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, Mac, this is a stick-up. Do like we tell you,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: you won't get hurt. Like that he talked.
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Just give us the money, don't make any noise. Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I did. Walked right back to the register, opened it up,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and handed over the loot.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: What happened then?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Told me to keep quiet, and then they walked out
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: of the place.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Anybody else in here?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, there was a couple of people up in front.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Did the thieves bother them?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: No, they were just after the money in the register.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Other couple didn't even know there was anybody here until
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: it was all over.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Let me see.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: There were a couple of kids.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Kids, you know what I mean. Like young and real
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: in love. Roof could have fallen in. They wouldn't have
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: known it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Cops talked to them last night, but they couldn't tell
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: them nothing.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: You say you'd know these men if you saw them again, huh?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: You just get all the money you can on that one. Mm-hmm.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Did you see if they had a car?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The man who held you up. Oh, no. They didn't
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: have one, did they?
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I didn't see it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Is there anything about them that you can tell us?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: No, just a couple of guys, one tall, the other
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: one fat.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Did you see if they had a gun?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: You think I'd have handed over the money if they didn't?
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: What kind of a weapon was it?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It was a gun, the kind with bullets. You pull
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the trigger, it goes bang, like that. It was a gun.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but was it a revolver or an automatic?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. I guess it was a... Well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: come to think of it, I guess... Hey, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: you're right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't see it. Not even a peek. Guy had
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: his hand in his pockets like this, you know? Like this? Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't actually see the gun, though. Not for real. Mm-mm.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: He just had it in his pocket.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, you figure he was just playing a joke on me?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: A funny that he really didn't have a gun at all?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Well, we wouldn't know.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Well, why not?
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: What?
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: Well, why don't you know? It's your job, isn't it?
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: Knowing things like that. Bunch of crooks running around.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: You don't even know if they got a gun. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: a fine lot of cops you guys are. Mm-mm.
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: Hey, I might have just given him that money for nothing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: If he didn't have a gun, there was no reason
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: to hand it over.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: No reason at all. I should have found out. That's what, huh?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: I made a grab at the guy. Probably didn't have
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: nothing in the pocket but just his hand or something
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: like that. If he didn't have one, if I was right,
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: I could have told you guys.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Well, it was the other way.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: What if you were wrong?
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: From the method of operation and the description of the suspects,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: we knew that they were the same two men who
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: had staged.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Six robberies in the past week.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: We showed the latest victim the mug shots from the
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: packages that the stats office had turned for us. He
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: pointed out three of the pictures and said they looked
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: something like the hold-up men, but he was unwilling to
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: make even a tentative identification. 11.56 a.m. We returned to
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: the office and put in a call to Leighton Prince.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: They hadn't been able to turn anything of value. A
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: canvas of the area around the bar had netted nothing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The case stood where it had seven days before when
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the robbery was first reported. 1.15 p.m. Well, it doesn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: seem to be a directional trend. No, we're hitting all over,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: aren't we? Anything from Barretton? A list of names came
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: in this morning. We've already checked most of them out.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We could use a few more leads. I'd settle for one. There.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You seen the skipper?
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in earlier.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's in the office, ma'am. I wonder
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: when he's going to climb on us.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I've been expecting him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Better off around?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen him.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Well, he said he might be able to help us
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: turn something. He said he had an informant down on L.A.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Street.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Hot shot. Let's go. Same two.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They hit again.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Frank and I left the office and drove out to
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: the scene of the latest robbery. It was a small
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: restaurant located on South Spring. By the time we got there,
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: a radio car had arrived and the officer was checking
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: the area.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: You the cops? Are you? Are you more cops? That's right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: That's what I thought. Other fella, he left. He said
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: he was going to look for the crooks. He just
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: went up the street.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You want to tell us what happened?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Held up, that's what. Held up.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, we understand. Did the officer get a description of
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the thieves?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Sure, got it first thing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: Said something about doing a broadcast or something.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what he meant, but that's what he said.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: All right. You want to give us your name?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Hector Pipp.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Pipp.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: P-I-P. Like C. Uh-huh. Colin Dahl wrote a story about them. Pipps. C,

  Speaker 2: What's my partner, Frank Smith? My name's Friday.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Sure thing. Now, what do you all know?
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Well, would you tell us what happened, please?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Better get on the ball. Can't stand around and waste time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: Better get the fellas what did it. Mm-hmm. Came in
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: right through that door. Came in and told me it
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: was a stick-up. And it's just as plain as anything.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Stick-up.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Sent me to hand over the money in the cash register. Over.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: How much was it?
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not sure. Must have been about $ 60, $ 70.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Did you see him when they left?
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: Well, certainly. Couldn't very well miss him. Small place. Just
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: stood here and watched him go... Watched my money go
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: right out the door.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: What I meant was, did you see him get in
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: the car?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't. No, I sure didn't. Just stood here
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: and watched him go. But I didn't see no car.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Was there anybody else in the place?
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: Oh, there was one fellow.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Where is he?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: He left.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: All excitement got into gear and he left.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Cincy, too. Cincy.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: Owed me for a piece of cream pie and a
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: cup of coffee.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Have you seen him before?
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: No, on your face. He ain't from around here. Brand new.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Did you hear either of the two men use a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: name of any kind?
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I sure did, yeah. You want to tell us? Do
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I have to?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: We'd like you to, if you will.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Lodge. That's what he said. Lodge.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Which one?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: The tall one, like a fence picket.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: He's the one.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: He called the other one Lodge. No.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But you said he used the name.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Sure. But he was talking to me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Well, look, is there anything else you can tell us
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: about the men that might make it easier to identify them?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: No, just two fellas. One tall, thin. Other one fat. Mm-hmm.
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: Didn't have no reason to call me lard. I've been
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: on a diet for a couple of weeks.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Eating those pills that swell up in your stomach. Mm-hmm.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: Well, I guess they work for some people. Makes me
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: feel as though I had a sponge.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Was there anything outstanding about the men?
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: No.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Not that comes to mind, no.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: They have a gun?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Not right off.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Didn't have one when they come in. Of course, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: didn't know that. No, sir, I didn't have any idea, no.
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: Got them now, though.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Stole them with the money.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: What?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: 38 revolver and a. 25 automatic. Took them.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Frank and I took the latest victim to the city hall.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: While he started to check the mug books, we ran
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: the serial numbers of the guns through the record section.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: We found that they were both registered to Hector Pipp.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: At 3.46 p.m., Frank came back to the office from
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: the mug room.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Joe.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Back here. How's it going?
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, he still hasn't found it, eh? What's he
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: checking now? Coming out books. That's four or five more
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: to go through. Did you show him the pictures of
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Statt's office turn?

• 10:23
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Said he knows the guys you're looking for.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: We made arrangements for somebody to stay with the victim,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: and then Frank and I left the city hall. Sergeant
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Walt Bitteroff drove us over to talk to his informant.

  Speaker 2: No. No, thanks a lot.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: How about you, Will?
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Uh-uh.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: You don't mind if I have one?
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Well, go ahead.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: Oh, I must have had a good time last night.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: I feel like they're three feet apart.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: Hey, nothing like a cold beer the next morning.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. My girlfriend gave me some new glasses, like in
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a beer commercial. Yeah, nice. It sure looks good, doesn't it?
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, sir.
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: That's what I needed.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Funny. What?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Funny about beer. Always tastes good, but a glass like
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: this makes it taste better.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Ambrosia.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Pure ambrosia.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder if we can get down to business, Andy.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Sure, sure.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Now I get my head back. What can I do
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Said you had some information on the two guys who
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: were pulling these bar holdups.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I'd like you to tell Crotty and Smith here about it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They cops?
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: You're after fellas, huh?
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Walt, tell you anything about Setup? What do you mean? Well,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: anything you get. It didn't come from me.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they know that, Angie.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I gotta make sure. I remember something that helps
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you out. I forget it right away. You talk to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: me five minutes from now, I don't remember.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Deal?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: All right. What about the guys?
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Heavy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Got in town a couple of months ago. Where are
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: they from? St.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Louis. You got the names?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, part of them. What do you mean? Well, just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: with their call, that's all I got. A lot will do.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Don't pay to ask too many questions, you know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Step on somebody's toes and you find their foot in
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: your face. What about the names? Well, the tall ones
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: call them Ronnie. Fat guys tag whale.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Is that what everybody calls them?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: All I heard. You know where they live?
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: Nope.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Where'd you meet them?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I move around.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: I run into them a couple of bars. Seen them
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: once or twice. How do you know they're the ones
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: we're after? We just figured, that's all. Got a big role,
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: talk loud, the way they look, just figured.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know where we can pick them up? I haven't
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: got any idea. They drive in a car? Not that
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I've seen. Anything else you can tell us about them?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You've had it. Have either one of them fallen? No,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we never spent an evening talking about it, but it
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: figures they did. Thank you, Smith. Yeah, I guess so.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I heard the whale say this was the first time
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: they'd been on the coast. All right, Angie, if there's
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: nothing else.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: If you hear anything, Angie, we'd appreciate a call.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: If it works out, I'll let you know. I'm not
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: going to put anything in writing. Those jokers hear about it,
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: and I'd have to dig a hole.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming by, Walt.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: Glad I've met you guys.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: See you again, huh?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure. Thanks for the beer, Walt.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Sure made the difference.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: First got up, I felt like a gang of midgets
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: had been playing soccer.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: In my mouth.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: We were up last night.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Got to make a few calls around to find out.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: What kind of time I had.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: We returned to the office and sent a radiogram to
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: the St. Louis Police Department requesting all information on anyone
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: in their files who'd used the nicknames Ronnie or Whale.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: We checked the two names through our moniker file without result.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: The next day, Wednesday, June 15th, at 5.26 p.m., we got.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Word from the East.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Here it is, Joe. St.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: Louis?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, looks like they turned them. Let me see. Ronald
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Saba and Gerard Llewellyn.
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: How about Muggs?
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: We're sending stand-ups right away.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Should be here in the morning, shouldn't they?
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: All right, well, I'll get it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Robbery out on the Olympics. Sounds like Ronnie and the Whale.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: How long ago?
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Just left the place.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Shot it up pretty bad.
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: Anybody hurt?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Policemen got in their way.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: The Green Tree Cafe was located at the corner of
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Olympic Boulevard and Estrada Street. By the time we got there,
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: an ambulance had arrived and the wounded officer had been
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: removed to Georgia Street Receiving Hospital. A felony car from
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: Central Division had arrived at the scene and had.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Started a search for the officer's assailants.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: We got the story from the bartender, Alvin Jaggers.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Well, two guys come in, like I told you, walk
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: right in, told me it was a holdup.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: How'd the policeman get shot?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: On the way out, it happened.
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: After I give the guys the money, started to leave,
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: Abner saw him, tried to stop him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: You know the officer, do you?
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he comes in once in a while, him and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: his wife, come in for steak sandwiches.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Was his wife with him tonight?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think she went up to the hospital with him.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I think that's where she went. Anyhow... When Abner saw
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: these two fellas, you know, with the hold-up man?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: When he saw them, he told them to put down
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: the guns.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Where was he standing?
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: You mean Abner?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, he was up there by the door. Him and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: the missus was in the front booth, and the guys
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: went right by him when they come in.
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: He was standing right by the door, told them to
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: put down the guns and give up.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Well, now, did he have his gun out of the holster?
• 15:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: You know, he had it kind of aimed like this here.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I reckon he was afraid of the people in the place,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: you know? He had a shoot or something? Mm-hmm.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: And these two fellas stopped by when they saw him
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: dead in their steps, told Abner to get out of
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: the way.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: He didn't budge none. Held his ground for sure. Him
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: right there and them here.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: See?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Now, the tall one, he yelled that they was going
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: to leave and Abner shouldn't try to stop him. Uh-huh.
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: And they started to walk outside and Abner brought the
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: gun up so he could shoot at him.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Didn't make it, though.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: Shot him dead center right here in the chest. After that,
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: they run out the place, took off down the street.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Did the officer shoot at him at all?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Mm-mm. Didn't have no chance. Guess he was finished before
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: he started.
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Did the men get into a car?
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Well, if they did, I didn't see them. Too much
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: going on.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Did either one of these men use a name while
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: they were in here?
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: How do you mean?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Well, did they call each other by name?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Well, let me think about that for a minute. Yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I think they did.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Do you remember?
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: Well, after the shoot in the tall one, he turned
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: to the other fella and he said, come on, well,
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: let's get out of here.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. Which one of them did the actual shooting?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you that. What do you mean?
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: Well, both of them shot about the same time. Wasn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: more than a half a second difference.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Bang, bang. Real fast.
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: Both about the same time. I don't know if they
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: both hit Abner, but they both shot at the same time.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Have you seen these men around before?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: You know, matter of fact, I have.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: They been in here?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, must have been three, four weeks ago. Come in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: with Georgia. I guess that's pretty good friends.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Who's she?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Regular customer. Spent a lot of time in here. Drinks fingers. Rough.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You know we can get in touch with her?
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Shouldn't be too hard. She lives down next block.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: We left the bar and walked to the entrance of
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: the apartment hotel down the street. According to the building register,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: Georgia Wells occupied apartment 314. We rang the buzzer, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: after a few moments, we were admitted to the building.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: The elevator wasn't working, so we walked up three flights.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, I guess I'm getting old.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: Makes you wonder how far you'd get without all the
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: modern conveniences.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: This is it here.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Try it again.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Georgia Wells.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: That's right. I know you.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Police officers. We'd like to talk to you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: What about?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Might be better if we came inside.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: Come on in. Nothing here to hide.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Don't look around, Frank.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: What's he looking for?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Just want to check the place.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: You're going to find anything here? I got no beef
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: with the cops. Never been in any trouble before. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: want to keep it that way.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: All right. It's clean, Joe.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: You're going to tell me what this is all about?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: You know a couple of men named Ronald Sava and
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Gerard Llewellyn?
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Why are you asking?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: You know them?
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You know where they are?
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: No, look.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: Maybe if you tell me why you're looking for the boys,
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: I can help you out.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: It's a police matter.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: You go find them yourself.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: When did you see them last?
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: A couple of days ago.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: Bar, over on 6th.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: You know where they live?
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: Look, mister. I don't carry no water for them, but
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: I'm not going to blow the whistle until I know
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: what the beef is.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: It's pretty serious, and you're not doing yourself any good
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: acting like this. You know where we can find them?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Look, I'm going to level with you. I know the boys. Sure,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: they're a lot of laughs. Good spenders.
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: That's all it is with us.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: We got it that you're pretty good friends.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: You've been talking to the landlady. She's all the time
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: sticking her nose in where it don't belong.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Is that so?
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: She's hacked at me anyway. Go out of her way
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: to make trouble all the time.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: She'll go out of her way.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Why'd she do that?
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: She don't like me, that's why.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: She's got no reason.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: She just don't like me. All the time yelling about
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: how I'm using too much laundry, how I let the
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: water run too long, beefing about how I'm not supposed
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: to do no cooking in the place. Pot of coffee
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: and she's ready to take it in front of the U.N.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: I told the truth. Boys and me been out a
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: couple of times. Dinner, drink, maybe a show, that's all.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: Nothing serious between us. Matter of fact, they both leave
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: me cold, romantic.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Well, then you shouldn't worry about telling us where to
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: find them.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: I just don't want to get mixed up in nothing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: It's all there is to it. I don't want to
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: get dragged into something I didn't build. You can see that,
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: can't you, huh? You can see that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Where do we find him?
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: He'll be here in 40 minutes.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: We put in a call to the office and told
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: them where we were.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: We got out a local broadcast on an all-points bulletin
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: asking that two suspects be picked up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: 5.52 p.m. We settle down to wait for the men.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: What are they supposed to do when they get here?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Just keep out of the way.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: There's going to be no shooting, is there?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Not unless they start it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: I just don't know anymore.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: You go out with a guy, nothing serious, a few laughs,
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: and you end up in trouble.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Did they ever tell you what they did for a living?
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Ronnie mentioned something about starting a car agency.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: He had some deal back east where he could get
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: the cars cheap, and he figured on having them driven
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: out here and selling them. Told me how him and
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: the whale was going to clean up.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: Said it was the sweetest deal they ever come across.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: Real sweet, they said.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Joe, you better get in the other room as well. Yeah, sure.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Please, no shooting.

  Speaker 8: Yeah.

  Speaker 9: I got you, huh?
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: You lousy bum. You finked on it. I had nothing

  Speaker 4: to do with it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: All right, take it easy.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: She told you, didn't she? Didn't she tell you where
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: to get it?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make any difference.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: It does to me.
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: All she ever wanted was a good time. All the
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: time wanting to go to the best places. All the
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: time with the expensive clothes. You lousy bum. That's all
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: she is.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: All right, that's enough of that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: You're not kidding. You're ordering me if I never saw

• 21:41
  Speaker 7: took over the stakeout on the apartment. Frank and I

• 21:45
  Speaker 7: in a call to the receiving hospital and found that
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: the wounded officer would recover. 6.57 p.m. We started to
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: lay out the evidence for the suspect.
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: We checked the gun to our record section.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That's the one you stole from Hector Pipp yesterday.

  Speaker 4: Mistake someplace.

• 21:58
  Speaker 4: You've got nothing to hold me on. Nothing.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Four of the victims have seen your picture. They're willing
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to swear that you're one of the men who held
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: them up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a bunch of creeps. That's all they are. The
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: whole slew of them. Sure.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Where do we pick up your partner?

  Speaker 11: I keep telling you guys I haven't got any partner.
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: You want to explain the gun?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I don't have to.
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: I never saw that gun before. You guys turned it
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: on me. That's what you say. Well, I say it
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: ain't mine. You planted it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: What about the victims?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: They made a mistake. It's happened before. Lots of times.
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: You read about it all the time, where some joker
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: gets up in court, swears, you know, some fellow guy
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: ends up spending a couple of years for something he
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: didn't do. All the time, there's stories like that in
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: the paper.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. All the time.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Well, if you sit there and think you're clean, we
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: got it figured different.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: I don't care how you got it figured. I'm telling
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: the story the way it happened. Now, you keep talking
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: about this fellow Whale or whatever it is.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: I never heard of him. All these jobs you say
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: I did. I don't know anything about them either.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I'll get it. Oh, yeah, well.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I got a call from D. Leitner.

  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you just heard it, Saba. How about it? You
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: want to make a statement now? Might go easier if
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: you tell us.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: Get him out of here.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Grab him.

• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Get up. Lousy fat slob. He just kept his mouth shut,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that's all. Just kept his big fat mouth shut. We've
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: been all right. Him and his big mouth. Now, let's go.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Him and his big fat mouth. Right into the joint.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: That's where he's put us. Right into the joint.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: His idea, the whole thing. He's as full of hot
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: air as he is. Well, I hope he's happy. Look
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: what he did. He got me a ticket right into
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: the joint.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:38
