  Speaker 4: From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the story of your police.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Force in action.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: It was Thursday, December 10th. It was cold in Los Angeles.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: We were working the day watch out of burglary detail.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: My partner's Frank Smith, the boss of Chief of Detective
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Thad Brown. My name's Friday. We were on the way
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: out from the office, and it was 10.14 a.m.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: When we got to the Armstrong Schneider Jewelry Company, the
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: manager's office.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Can I help you? Yes, ma'am. Police officers, would you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: like to see Mr. Armstrong?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes. Just a minute.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The police officers are here.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, they're right away.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: Will you go right in, please?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Mr. Armstrong's office. Yes, ma'am.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Good evening, sir.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Won't you come in? Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. Armstrong? Yes.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: My partner, Frank Smith. My name's Friday. How do you do?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Won't you sit down? Thank you very much. Would you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: like a cigarette? Yes, sir. Thank you. Thanks. I have
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a lighter.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: As you know, this firm is probably the foremost fine
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: jewelry store.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: On the coast. Yes, sir. I wonder if you'd tell
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: us about the theft.
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Well, we discovered it this morning. About what time was that?
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: About 9.45. That's when we missed it. I guess the
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: necklace was taken about 9. Must have been right after
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: we opened.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Could you give us a description of the piece?
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: Yes, I have it right here. Got it from the
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: insurance records. I have a drawing of it. We always
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: have that done on high price, madam.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Here you are. Thank you. What value do you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: place on the necklace?
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: It's insured for $ 8, 000. The firm can't afford to take
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: a loss like that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Could you tell us exactly how it was taken? Yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: It was just after nine. We just opened the front door.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: It's a shopper's Christmas, you know. Well, this one couple
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: came in and asked to see some of our more
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: expensive necklaces. Henderson brought the tray out of the safe
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: and showed the collection to the people.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Henderson?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: He's the clerk who was waiting on the people.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: I gave him his notice. I had to. It looks
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: to me like carelessness.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I wonder if we could talk to him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, all right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Miss Courtney, would you have Henderson sent in here, please?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, right away. What?
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: No, tell him I'll call later. That's right, have him
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: leave the number and I'll call back.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Right, yes. He'll be right in. All right, thank you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: How long has this Henderson been working here?
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: I'd have to check the employment records to be sure. Offhand,
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: I think it's been about five years. Ever since we
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: opened at this location, we used to have a store downtown,
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: then we.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Moved out here. Where did he work before that?
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Well, let me see.
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: I think it was someplace up north. San Francisco, I believe. Yes,
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: he worked in a store up there. Had excellent references.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: He's a good salesman.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But you gave him notice, huh?
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Well, I felt it was the only thing to do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: If he's getting careless, he has no business working in
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: a store that deals with expensive merchandise.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Excuse me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: Send him right in.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: What?
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: No, please tell him to call later.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not into anyone. No one but Sharon.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: My wife.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Come in. Do you want to see me, Mr. Armstrong?
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Yes, come right in, Henderson. These are police officers, Mr.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Friday and Mr.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Smith. This is Charles Henderson.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: How are you? Hi.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: We'd like to ask you some questions about the theft.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Anything I can do to help? Could you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: give us a description of the couple you waited on? Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 6:20
  Speaker 10: The man was about 35, maybe 40. About how tall
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: was he?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe 5'11. Might have been 6 feet. I'd say he
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: weighed about 155 pounds, something like that. Uh-huh. How about
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: his coloring, his complexion? It was light. It looked like
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he'd been out in the sun, though. His nose was
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: all sunburned.
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: I noticed it because you don't often see people with
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: sunburns like that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: This time of the year. You know, December.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Holiday dress, you remember?
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: He had a gray hat on, gray chalk stripes, suit on,
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: flannel blue shirt, maroon tie. Didn't see his shoes. He
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: had on one of those new round collars. Oh, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: rounded here on.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: The collar point? Mm-hmm. Was he clean shaven?
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: No.
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: No, he had a little mustache, one of those that
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: looks like it's drawn on with an eyebrow pencil.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Just a line, you know the kind.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: How about the woman? What'd she look like? She was
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a small woman, not much more than 5'2, little, about
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: 100 pounds.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Real pretty.
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: She had dark hair and blue eyes, very fair. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: noticed it because I thought at the time that maybe
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: she dyed her hair.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Do you have any marks or scars you saw?
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, no. How was she dressed?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: She was a little too overdressed. Had a dress and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a coat. Had a jewel clip.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Here on her dress.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: She looked kind of flashy, cheap, you know. Oh, I see.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Anything about the way they talked and the accent, anything
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like that? No. Nothing I can remember. Would you remember
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: if either one of them wore glasses, maybe?
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: The man, though, he had a kind of funny way
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: of talking.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: Oh, he sounded sort of like one of those pitch
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: men on TV. You know, the kind that sells kitchen gadgets,
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: things like that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Could you tell us what happened, what they said when
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: they came in, how they took the jewel?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: They came in right after we opened that to see
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: something in necklaces. They wanted to pay around.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: $ 5, 000.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: So I brought out the tray, but didn't find anything
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: that they liked. And then I brought out the equalizer.
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: Beautiful thing, $ 8, 500. You know, Mr.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Armstrong, the emerald-cut diamond with a small sapphire?
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: Yes, I know the one.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Beautiful thing. Excuse me, can I use that ashtray a minute? Yeah,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: thank you. I wonder if you'd go on, please.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: Well, I brought out the other tray and showed them
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: the necklaces in it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: They both looked for a long time.
• 8:15
  Speaker 10: Then the woman said that she didn't think there was
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: anything there she wanted.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: What was the matter? Didn't they care for our designs?
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: No, it wasn't that, sir. They just didn't see anything
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: they liked. So they moved back to the other tray.
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: Then the woman said she'd found what she wanted. It
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: was a small piece, three diamonds and four small rubies.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Did they buy that? No, they said they wanted to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: think about it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: They made a big thing about asking me if I
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: thought that it would be sold before they could make
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: up their minds.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: Well, I told them if they wanted to put a
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: small deposit on it, we could hold it for them.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: The man said he'd rather not do that. He said
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: they'd know by this afternoon. By that time, there were
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: several people in the store, Christmas shoppers, you know. Some
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: of them were looking at a display of bracelets we
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: had on the counter. I went over to them to
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: see if there was anything I could do. You know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: tell them that I'd get someone to wait on them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I understand. It's a foolish thing to do, I know that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: I'm afraid it was.
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know now. Well, when I got back, the
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: couple was leaving. They told me they'd be in this
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: afternoon and let me know. Walked out of the store,
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: and I stopped to help a gentleman that came in.
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: When I turned back to the trays, I noticed the
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: necklace in the more expensive tray was gone.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Would you be able to give us positive identification of
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: these people if you ever saw them again? Yes, I'm
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: sure I would. I wonder if you can come downtown
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: with us and look at some pictures, see if you
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: can identify the thieves for us. Of course, if Mr.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Armstrong has no objection. Not at all.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Would you like me to come along, too?
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: I don't think that will be necessary right now. If
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: there's anything we need, we can get in touch with.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: You here, can't we?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, right here at my home.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: I can give you that number.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: All right, fine. Okay. Here it is. Thank you, sir. Well,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: thanks very much. You ready to go?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I'll get my hat.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Just a minute, Henderson.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: As soon as you get through down there, come on back.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Your job's waiting for you.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: All right, sir.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I'd like to come back.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Anything I can do to help, just let me know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: All right, Mr. Armstrong.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Not at all.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'll get my hat and meet you at the door.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Have you notified the insurance company of the theft yet, Armstrong?
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: I have a call into them now. I'm expecting an
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: agent from the firm any minute. Sure hope you can
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: recover it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: We'll do the best we can. An $ 8, 000 necklace. How
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: do you think they'll go about disposing of it?
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: Break it up?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Well, either that or leave it in one piece.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: That'll make it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: Kind of hard to unload, won't it? $ 8, 000?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Not at their price. 10.37 a.m.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: We talked to the other people in the store. From them,
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: we got verifying descriptions of the two thieves. 11.32 a.m.,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Frank and I took the clerk, Charles Henderson, down to
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: the city hall and had him go through the mug books.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: We got out a local and.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: An APB on the pair of thieves, and a description
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: of the stolen necklace was prepared for the daily bulletin.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: The insurance company that underwrote the necklace got in touch
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: with us and said that they were getting out printed
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: circulars to jewelers throughout the country. The victim was unable
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: to make an identification from the mug books.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: We had the M.O.
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: Of the theft run through the staff's office, but when
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: the possibles were checked out, we had no new leads.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: Further interrogation of the owners and employees of the stores
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: in the immediate vicinity of Armstrong and Schneider failed to
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: turn up anything new.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: The theft was not a new one. For the past
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: six weeks, there'd been a series of burglaries taking place
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: out on Wilshire Boulevard. Most of them had been exclusive
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: women's stores or jewelry shops. To date, all of them
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: had been articles of small individual value, none that approached
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: the value of the necklace taken from Armstrong and Schneider.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: In an attempt to apprehend the thieves, all of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: usual avenues of sale of stolen.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Goods had been checked.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: None of the precautions apparently did any good, but theft continued.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Another two weeks passed.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: In that time, the thieves hit three times, all in
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: the same general area. The employees of the victimized stores
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: were questioned. From the information we got from them, we
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: could be certain that the suspects.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Were the same ones we were after.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: On Tuesday, December 29th, Frank and I got back from
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: checking a lead.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Well, there's another one that went to no place. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: go and check the book. Yeah, I'll get it. Anything there? Yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: there's a call here from Alex Olsen. Olsen?
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Got a Dunkirk number. You know Olsen? No, that name
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything to me. Say what it's about. Well,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: just call him. It's important. All right. Give me the number, huh? Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Here you go. What is this? 190? Is that a nine? Yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, it's a nine. You don't make
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: nines very good. Sloppy. Can't write. Can I speak to Alex? Oh,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Alex Olsen. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. The hotel. Yeah. Hello.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: This Olsen?
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: This is Friday. Police department. You want me to call you? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. Yeah, sure.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We'd like to talk to you.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: No, we'll come over there. That's right. You want to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: give me the address? Just a minute.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right. Bye.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Bye.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: Olsen, he works for that carnival. You remember we talked
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: to him last year? He says he wants to see
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: us about some burglaries now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I remember. He says he's in with the thieves.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: 11.26 a.m. We drove out to the address Olsen had
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: given me on the phone.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: We talked to the desk clerk at the hotel.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: He said that Olsen had just moved in, and that
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: during the time he'd been there, Olsen hadn't talked much
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: to any of the other people in the place. The
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: clerk gave us his room number, and Frank and I
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: went up to talk to him.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, where is that?
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Joe Friday.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: All right, just a minute.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: All right, come on in.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks. All right. Olsen, this is my partner, Frank Smith. Oh.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember you. Sit down.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: Thanks.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: You want a drink?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've got to have one.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: What was it you wanted to talk to us about, Olsen? Olsen?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: What was it you wanted to talk to us about? Oh, man.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I don't know where I hang over. I really get them.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's get to the point, shall we? What's
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: on your mind?
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: Oh, I'll tell you. I don't know why I drink
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: so much. I feel terrible the next day. I always
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: drink too much. All right, now, look, Olsen, maybe you've
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: got a lot of time.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: We haven't. We didn't come over here to sit and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: watch you drink. Now, get to the point. You said
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: on the phone that you were in with a gang
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: of thieves we were looking for. Now, what about it?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: What I told you on the phone is true. It's
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: all true. I'm glad to tell you. Get it over.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Get it all out in the open. That's what I
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: need to do. Get it all out in the open.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: You had any breakfast yet?
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: No, I just got up before I called you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: Is there any place around here you can get something
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: to eat? Don't make no difference around here. Nobody knows me.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: I think there's a place down the street right next
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: to the hotel. But what's all this about food?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I think you'll feel better if you have something to eat,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: won't you?
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: No, wait a minute.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: You've had enough of that. Put it down.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I don't want no food.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: All right, we do. Let's go.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: You guys are getting a little bossy. We want to
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: hear what you've got to say. You keep hitting that bottle,
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: neither one of us is going to make it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Come on, Sal. We'll buy you some breakfast. You got
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a coat? It's cold out. Oh, yeah.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I'm sure glad you guys came. I'm glad to get
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: this off my chest.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Those dresses in there, women's clothes, those
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: belong to you?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I'm just keeping them for a friend.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The label's on some of them here. Come from out
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: on Wilshire, don't they?
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Hey, you get a gold star. I'll tell you about that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: That's part of the deal.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: You want to tell us now?
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: Oh, look, you made a deal about some coffee. Maybe
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: it'll help me find my hands. Are you going to
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: back out now?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go. We'll come back.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: You can come back.
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: Take all the time you want. Look, the dress is over.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: I got some other stuff you'll want to see, too.
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: But come on, let's go. Let's walk down.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Let's not take the elevator. It's too noisy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Murder.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: All right. What's this other stuff you wanted to show us, Olsen?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: The jewelry. I got some of it in the dresser.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: It's cheap stuff. It's nothing worth anything. It's cheap.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Where'd you get the clothes and jewelry?
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, Red asked me to keep them for him.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, he's the guy you want. He's the one that's
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: engineering the theft. He's the one. The real crumb. Big man.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: He's the one you want. I'd like to see you
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: get it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: How many other people working with him?
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Three others.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You know who they are? Sure.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I know the whole story, start to finish. I know
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: the whole thing. I'll tell you. I'll tell you all
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: about it. Let's go out the side way.
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Now, where's this coffee shop?
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, wait a minute. You sure you wouldn't like a belt?
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: No, and neither do you. Now, let's go.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, you're calling it. The restaurant's right down here.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of doors. You know where this red is?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you. He's the one you want.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: How about the woman who works for them?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's Maye.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: Red's not the guy who goes into the stores, though.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: The fellow that works that part of the operations is
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: his brother-in-law, a guy named Hank.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: What was her name?
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: May.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Was May. Is she the woman in the team?
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Red wouldn't trust anybody else. He's a big man,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: you know. You don't believe it. You just ask Red.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: He'll tell you. Big man. Big bum.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's the place? Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Uh, you're positive?
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: No, I'm good.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: The booth in the back, all right?
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, Joe, it doesn't look like they got service in
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the booth. What do you want, Olsen?
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: It ain't what I want, but I'll settle for a
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: cup of coffee.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Joe?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. I'll get it and bring it back.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Come on, Olsen, let's go back.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Sit down.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: All right, now, I suppose you start right at the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: beginning and tell me about it, huh? Who's Red? How
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: do they work the operation? Where can we find him?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Tell us everything.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: All right. Well, first off, Red's real name is Keith Jameson.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: They call him Red because he's got red hair. Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: What's he do for a living?
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: He works for Connie. Most of the year, we're on
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: the road. That's the off season. So he's laying up
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: in a trailer camp out in the valley. He doesn't
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: do anything regular, huh?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He's a stealer. You one of the owners of this carnival?
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: No, he runs a pitch game. You know, rings and
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: the pegs. If they play real good, you can win
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: a quarter with a slum for five bucks.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: How about his wife? She travel with the show?
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, she travels. It ain't a regular show. Not
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Red's part.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: He's just got a concession. You know, he goes with
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: the show like a leech. Been thrown out of a
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: dozen carnies for crooked stuff. Brother-in-law's a dip when we're
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: on the road. Picks pockets in the crowd around the
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: rich place. He's gotten us all in a lot of trouble.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: No carny in the country will have us around anymore.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: Don't take him long to get wise to us.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: He's the one that's in on the burglaries with Red
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and his wife, is that it?
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: That's right. He lists the stuff.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: How about his wife? Where does she fit in?
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: Well, she's the distraction, you know, the one that comes
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: up and asks questions, pulls the clerk away so Hank
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: can list the stuff.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: In case there's any trouble, Hank exits lumber, too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, lumber?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, muscle. He takes care of the guys that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Hey, let me give you a hand
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: with that, all right? Yeah, here. Look at my son.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That's Splash time. Is it splintered? No, it's good hot
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: coffee in there. Here, I'll open it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, thanks. Come on, pass your sugar, will you?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here you are. Where do you fit into this, Olsen?
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: No place, really. I'm just along for the ride.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: I think Red figures sometime the axe is going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: fall and he wants my head under it. I usually
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: hold on to the stolen stuff until Red finds a buyer.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Does he use a fence?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: No, he pushes his stuff himself. He usually works on
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: the tip.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: You know, if somebody wants to buy a piece of merchandise,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: Red meets him and sets up a deal.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: You wanting to cooperate with us all along the line
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: on this thing?
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Sure, sure. I'll go along with you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You know where the necklace is that they lifted a
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Red's got it. He's looking for a buyer now.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Do you think you can set up a meet for us?
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. If you thought you wanted to buy the piece,
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: it could be done.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Can you set up a meet? Sure.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: I want to see you get him.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Tell me something. How are you going to come out
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: on this if we pick up Red and the others?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: What do you want out of it?
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: I got my reasons. I got good reasons. You want
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: to tell us what they are? Sure, I got no
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: reason not to. Give me the sugar again.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: You see, Red figures he's gonna make a sideshow character
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: out of me next season.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go that route.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah? What do you mean?
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Oh, you know, the wild man from Borneo sitting in
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: a pit all day and yell at the customers. Bitch
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: like that always draws a big crowd. Red figures it'll
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: be good for picking pockets.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. By now, Red's out of his mind.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Wild man from Borneo. Even the leopard skin won't help
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: look at me. I only weigh 105 pounds.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: police force in action.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield is best for you. Listen to Chesterfield's record.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: For a full year and two months, a doctor has
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: been making regular examinations of a group of Chesterfield smokers,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: and he reports no adverse effects to the nose, throat,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: and sinuses from smoking Chesterfield.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Don't you want to try a cigarette with a record
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: like this?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Chesterfield. First with premium quality in both regular and king size.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield. First choice with Young America. And that's from a
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: survey of 274 colleges and universities. Try Chesterfield today. Remember,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Chesterfield is America's best cigarette buy.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: 2.24 p.m.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: We continued to talk to Alex Olson.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: He told us what he knew of the operation of
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: the thieves. We went back to his room and searched
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: it thoroughly. We found several pieces of cheap costume jewelry
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: and several of the stolen dresses. Most of the other
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: things in his room were worthless. As far as we knew,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: it had not been stolen. We took him down to
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: the city hall and had him checked to R & I.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: He had an arrest record showing several arrests for being
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: drunk in a public place. We checked the name Keith
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Red Jamison through the files. There was no record on him.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: There was no record in the monitor file either. Jameson's
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: brother-in-law and the two women were also checked out, but
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: we found no previous criminal record for either of them.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Communications were gotten off to Washington to check the possibility
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: that the suspects might have records in other states.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: 4.40 p.m.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: We met in Captain Wisdom's office. Olsen told us that
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: he'd arranged a meeting for us with Red. While we
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: listened on an extension phone, he called the suspect, told
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: him that he had a buyer for the necklace. A
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: meet was set up for the following morning at the
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: entrance to Alvera Street. Red said that he'd have the
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: necklace with him at the time. 5.37 p.m. Frank, Olsen,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: and I drove out to the trailer camp in the valley.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: We checked the trailer that Red lived in and also
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: the one his brother-in-law had. We got a good look
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: at the car Red would drive to the meet, and
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: then we arranged for a stakeout on the trailer park.
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: 8.23 p.m. The three of us drove back down to
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: the city hall.
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: You ain't going to try and take him at the meet,
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: are you?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: We haven't got around to that yet.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Why? Well, you do, and it's going to point straight
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: at me.
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: You ain't going to put him away forever, you know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: He's going to get out, and he's going to draw
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: a straight line to me. I don't want that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I've got to be protected. We'll take care of you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, big deal. You'll take care of me. Well, how?
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: That's what I want to know. How are you going
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: to do it?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get him before he gets to the meet.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Here you go, in here. Look, tell me, how are
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: you going to work it?
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: We'll come up with a way.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: You ain't going to get near him in plain clothes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you that right now. He'll spot you a
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: mile away. Comes to cops, he's got eyes in the
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: back of his head. You can't get anywhere near him
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: in those clothes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, we won't. We'll be picked up for something else.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: We'll find a necklace on him if he's got it,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and you'll never know that's what we're after. be in
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: uniform in the traffic car coming in from the valley.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That might work, huh, Frank? Yeah, I think so. He's
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: bound to make a mistake. When he does, we'll be there.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that'll do it. That never.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that ought to work.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that'll work good. Yeah. You guys wouldn't like.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: No, we wouldn't. No booze.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: I just noticed the bar across the street. I thought
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: maybe you guys would like to stop there. I'd I'd
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: feel a little better about this if I had a drink.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: Just a little one.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Come on now, buddy. Sorry, Alex.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take you over to the main jail.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: You got a what?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: For the time being, we got to hold you.
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: Now, it ain't the jail that bothers me, not being
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: in jail. It's just that I hear it's pretty rough
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: to get a drink over at the Gray Bar Hotel.
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: You know, that's the only thing that bothers me. There's
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: no room service there.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it'll all work out for you.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: I got mixed up in this thing. Seems like I
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: got no choice in anything.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: It don't seem fair. I got no choice.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: DA's office will know what you did. It'll be marked
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: down that way.
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: I got no beef with you guys. You better take
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: it easy with Red, though. Is that right?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: He's got a gun.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: The following morning at 4.30 a.m., Frank and I were
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: dressed in the uniform.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Of traffic officers. We were parked two blocks from the
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: trailer park in a traffic car.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: The meet with Red was scheduled for 9 a.m. The
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: officers on stakeout at the trailer park told us that
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: they'd seen no activity in Red's trailer the night before.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: From where we were parked, we could keep his car
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: under constant surveillance. At 7.45 a.m., we saw the suspect
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: and his wife come out of the trailer and get
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: into the car. We followed them over to Ventura Boulevard,
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: and from there down Coinga Pass. We kept far enough
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: behind them so that they'd have less chance of knowing
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: that they were being followed. They turned by the freeway
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: construction point and continued on down Coinga Boulevard. When they
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: got to the corner of Yucca and Coinga, they made
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: a mistake. They turned left from the wrong lane of traffic.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it. Do you want to hit the siren?
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I got the light.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He's going straight down Yucca, Joe.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Pull up behind him, huh? Right. Okay, he sees us.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: He's pulling over.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I'll cover the other side. Watch yourself.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: What's wrong, Loft? Sure, I didn't do anything.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: See your operator's license, please? Sure, it's in my pocket.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I'll get it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Do you want to get out of the car, please? Well,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I don't have to get out to show you my
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: driver's license. I'd like to have you get out of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the car. Don't argue with him, Red. Do what he says.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: What's all this about, anyway?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: What are you stopping me for? You made me an
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: illegal left turn back there at Coinga.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Illegal? Oh, you got the wrong guy. You see that
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: guy in front of me? He jumped the light something awful.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: He's the guy you ought to be after.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: He's the one, not me.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: All right, move over to the car.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: What?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Over to the car. Now put your hands up there.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Now against the car.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know what you mean.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Now come off it, Jameson.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: We meet.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? You've got no right to beat
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: him up like that. Big things are making a left turn.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: What are you guys trying to prove? Just wait until
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the papers get this. We've got friends here. All right, lady,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: take it easy. I won't take it easy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: Man makes a mistake and you cops act like you
• 26:48
  Speaker 11: were the judges.
• 26:49

• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: 38-12. You play rough, don't you, Red?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Shut up.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: What's this, Red? You leave that alone. It's mine. It
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't concern you. Necklace, Joe? Yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Joe, it's a necklace.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: What's that prove?
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: You got nothing on us.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Write out the ticket for the left turn. Let us go.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: That's all you got. You got a permit for this gun?
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: This necklace was stolen. You know that, don't you?
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything about it. I'm not going to
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: say anything until I see a lawyer. Nothing.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I knew this would happen. Always knew it about you.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: You're yellow.
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: Go on to take a chance as long as you
• 27:18
