The guy's dead. 09:23.460 --> 09:30.460 James Vickers, murder suspect, address unknown, died almost instantly at 1.13 p.m. November 16th while attempting to escape. 09:31.460 --> 09:33.460 His body was taken to the county morgue where it was posted. 09:34.460 --> 09:39.460 All the personal effects found on the body were listed by the coroner and a receipt for them given to our office. 09:40.460 --> 09:43.460 At 8.35 the next morning, Ben and I met with Chief Detective Zed Backstrand. 09:43.460 --> 09:48.460 Those four guns they found in the car Vickers was driving, they're all U.S. Army property. 09:48.460 --> 09:49.460 Where were they stolen from, Skipper? 09:49.460 --> 09:53.460 I don't know. Each one of the guns is stamped U.S. Army. That's all. 09:53.460 --> 09:54.460 Well, that makes it easy. 09:54.460 --> 09:56.460 The coroner find anything on the body? 09:56.460 --> 09:58.460 Nothing to tell us why Vickers decided to kill a traffic cop. 09:58.460 --> 10:00.460 What did Bemis say before he died? 10:00.460 --> 10:04.460 He was on traffic duty yesterday morning down at East Broadway and First. 10:04.460 --> 10:08.460 At 10.35 a gray coupe pulled up for a stop sign. Vickers was driving. 10:08.460 --> 10:13.460 Bemis started over to tell him to back up out of the pedestrian zone. Vickers pulled a gun and shot him. 10:13.460 --> 10:14.460 How'd they catch Vickers? 10:14.460 --> 10:18.460 Chased him three miles before he piled into a lumber truck. The guy with him got away. 10:18.460 --> 10:19.460 Fine. 10:19.460 --> 10:23.460 Checked R. and I. No make or warrants on Vickers. Kickback's not in on his fingerprint. 10:23.460 --> 10:25.460 All right. What's your guess, Franny? 10:25.460 --> 10:26.460 I don't have one, Ed. 10:26.460 --> 10:28.460 Vickers could have been hopped up. 10:28.460 --> 10:31.460 Doc Stanley over at Georgia Street said no. We checked him. 10:31.460 --> 10:36.460 Wait a minute. Backstrand. Yeah, hold on. For you, Franny. 10:36.460 --> 10:41.460 Thanks. Friday talking. Yeah. Yeah, good. Be right over, Lee. 10:41.460 --> 10:44.460 We're in business, Ed. Crime lab just found Vickers' address. 10:51.460 --> 10:52.460 There it is, Joe. 10:52.460 --> 10:53.460 Thanks, Lee. Let's see, huh? 10:53.460 --> 11:00.460 Silver Dollar Hotel. Received a Mr. James Vickers, $6.50, room 345. 11:00.460 --> 11:01.460 Where'd you find it, Lee? 11:01.460 --> 11:02.460 Under the front seat, in with the tools. 11:02.460 --> 11:03.460 Anything else? 11:03.460 --> 11:04.460 Not a thing. 11:04.460 --> 11:05.460 How about prints? 11:05.460 --> 11:08.460 Two. Kind of smudged. Hope we can run a make with them. 11:08.460 --> 11:10.460 No prints on those four guns, Lee? 11:10.460 --> 11:12.460 Smeared. Not enough to classify. 11:12.460 --> 11:14.460 This is it, Ben. 11:14.460 --> 11:15.460 That's all we got. 11:15.460 --> 11:17.460 Come on. Let's see if we can make it pay off. 11:20.460 --> 11:25.460 We located the Silver Dollar Hotel on East Grand between 16th Street and Pico. 11:25.460 --> 11:28.460 It was an old-type frame building with a brightly colored neon sign 11:28.460 --> 11:31.460 jutting out over the sidewalk just above the dark entrance. 11:31.460 --> 11:33.460 The manager's name was Luther Gage. 11:33.460 --> 11:35.460 We showed him a picture of James Vickers. 11:35.460 --> 11:38.460 He definitely identified him as one of his former tenants. 11:38.460 --> 11:42.460 He told us that Vickers had stayed at the hotel one week in room 345 11:42.460 --> 11:44.460 and that he had checked out two days ago. 11:44.460 --> 11:47.460 Was Vickers staying here alone, Mr. Gay? 11:47.460 --> 11:49.460 Yes, alone. Quiet man. 11:49.460 --> 11:51.460 Did he have any visitors? 11:51.460 --> 11:53.460 Maybe. Wouldn't know. Paid his bills. 11:53.460 --> 11:56.460 Spent most of his time away from the hotel. Good tenant. 11:56.460 --> 11:58.460 Did Vickers have any friends here in the hotel? 11:58.460 --> 12:00.460 Mmm, maybe. 12:00.460 --> 12:02.460 Fell in the room next to Mr. Vickers. 12:02.460 --> 12:05.460 He still lives here. Two of them used to be kind of thick. 12:05.460 --> 12:08.460 Can we look at that room Vickers stayed in, Mr. Gage? 12:08.460 --> 12:11.460 Mmm, let's see. Yes, it's still vacant. 12:11.460 --> 12:13.460 All right, this way. 12:15.460 --> 12:18.460 This man Vickers was friendly with. What's his name, Gay? 12:18.460 --> 12:22.460 Mmm, Knight. Raymond Knight. Room 343. 12:22.460 --> 12:24.460 Is he in his room now? 12:24.460 --> 12:26.460 No, went out about eight this morning. 12:26.460 --> 12:28.460 Here's the elevator. 12:28.460 --> 12:31.460 How well would you say Knight and Vickers knew each other? 12:31.460 --> 12:35.460 Couldn't say. Good tenants, both of them. Paid their bills. 12:35.460 --> 12:38.460 Did they go out together, seem to know each other well? 12:38.460 --> 12:40.460 Wouldn't know. I don't pry. 12:40.460 --> 12:42.460 Look, this case involves murder, Mr. Gage. We told you that. 12:42.460 --> 12:44.460 We'd appreciate your cooperation. 12:44.460 --> 12:46.460 Cooperation? Don't pay the rent, Sergeant. 12:46.460 --> 12:48.460 Third floor. 12:50.460 --> 12:52.460 This way. 12:52.460 --> 12:54.460 Here, 345. 12:54.460 --> 12:56.460 Open it up. 12:56.460 --> 12:58.460 Open it up. 13:03.460 --> 13:05.460 Nothing. 13:05.460 --> 13:07.460 Yeah, over here. 13:08.460 --> 13:10.460 Looks pretty clean, Joe. 13:10.460 --> 13:12.460 All my rooms are clean. 13:12.460 --> 13:14.460 You didn't mean it that way, Mr. Gage. 13:14.460 --> 13:17.460 I wonder if you'd show us Knight's room now. That's next door, isn't it? 13:17.460 --> 13:22.460 Hmm, I don't know about this. 13:22.460 --> 13:25.460 Poking into other people's rooms. Not regular. 13:25.460 --> 13:27.460 Neither is murder. Come on, let's go. 13:27.460 --> 13:29.460 Does Mr. Knight have this room to himself? 13:29.460 --> 13:31.460 Sure ask questions, don't you? 13:31.460 --> 13:33.460 No, Knight has a friend staying with him. 13:33.460 --> 13:35.460 About two weeks now. Not in much. 13:35.460 --> 13:37.460 Is he in now? Don't think so. 13:37.460 --> 13:39.460 Oh, I... Ben, watch it! 13:39.460 --> 13:41.460 Rough at you! 13:41.460 --> 13:43.460 That shot, Mr. Gage.

He pays his bills. Good tenant. 14:45.460 --> 14:47.460 I called Ed Backstrand and he set out a special detail 14:47.460 --> 14:51.460 to stake out the hotel and bring in Raymond Knight if and when he returned. 14:51.460 --> 14:53.460 Ben and I drove to the Georgia Street receiving hospital 14:53.460 --> 14:55.460 where Doc Stanley patched up the cut on Ben's scalp 14:55.460 --> 14:59.460 and treated Raymond Knight's friend for simple cuts and bruises. 14:59.460 --> 15:03.460 From papers found in his wallet and in the hotel room, 15:03.460 --> 15:05.460 he was identified as Frank Gannon, 15:05.460 --> 15:09.460 9896 Wasatch Street, Kansas City, Missouri. 15:09.460 --> 15:12.460 When we got to headquarters, we had Gannon taken to the interrogation room 15:12.460 --> 15:14.460 where we questioned him briefly. 15:14.460 --> 15:17.460 He told us that he was a self-employed watch salesman, 15:17.460 --> 15:19.460 that he was in the city on a business trip. 15:19.460 --> 15:23.460 He admitted friendship with Knight, but not with Fickers. 15:23.460 --> 15:27.460 We booked him at the Cotty jail for assault with intent to commit murder. 15:27.460 --> 15:30.460 The three guns found in the hotel room were turned over to the crime lab. 15:30.460 --> 15:33.460 We reported back to the office. 15:33.460 --> 15:37.460 Joe, my head's pounding like mad.

Jokers count 50 points. 20:04.460 --> 20:06.460 Mm-hmm. 20:06.460 --> 20:08.460 Red threes count 100 points each. 20:08.460 --> 20:10.460 If you get a black three, you can freeze the deck. 20:10.460 --> 20:12.460 Oh, I see. 20:12.460 --> 20:14.460 I shouldn't say deck. In this game, they call it the pack. 20:14.460 --> 20:16.460 The pack? What's a pack? 20:16.460 --> 20:18.460 Well, it's the discard pile. Same as in gin. 20:18.460 --> 20:20.460 You get a red three, you can freeze it. 20:20.460 --> 20:22.460 No, it's a black three. 20:22.460 --> 20:24.460 What happens when you freeze it? 20:24.460 --> 20:26.460 Nobody can pick it up. 20:26.460 --> 20:28.460 All right. Let's deal out a dummy hand here. 20:28.460 --> 20:31.460 Fine game, Ganon. Sure you won't change your mind? 20:31.460 --> 20:33.460 You don't want to play, Joe. 20:33.460 --> 20:36.460 All right. Now, I'm two-handed. You deal out 15 cards, see? 20:36.460 --> 20:38.460 How many can play? 20:38.460 --> 20:41.460 As many as six, I think. I've only played up to four. 20:41.460 --> 20:43.460 You play partners with four? 20:43.460 --> 20:45.460 Yeah, that's right. 20:45.460 --> 20:47.460 Okay. Count your cards. I think that's 15. 20:47.460 --> 20:51.460 13, 14, 15. Right. Now, what do I do? 20:51.460 --> 20:53.460 Well, I guess you better lay your hand open. 20:53.460 --> 20:55.460 That'll be the easiest way to show it. 20:55.460 --> 20:58.460 Okay. I'll spread them all out over there. 20:58.460 --> 21:01.460 Well, you don't have a great hand there. 21:01.460 --> 21:03.460 You got a couple of black threes. You can use those. 21:03.460 --> 21:05.460 Yeah, that's fine. They count 100 a pick. 21:05.460 --> 21:07.460 No, no, no. Those are red threes. 21:07.460 --> 21:09.460 Black threes don't count anything. 21:09.460 --> 21:11.460 Oh, red three. That's right. 21:11.460 --> 21:13.460 Do you remember what black threes are for? 21:13.460 --> 21:15.460 You can use them to freeze a pile. 21:15.460 --> 21:17.460 Pack. That's right. 21:17.460 --> 21:19.460 The pack. Well, you know what I mean. 21:19.460 --> 21:21.460 All right. Now, look, you see, I got a joker here. 21:21.460 --> 21:23.460 Jokers are wild. Do you remember how much they count? 21:23.460 --> 21:25.460 They're wild. 100 points. 21:25.460 --> 21:27.460 No, red threes are worth 100. Jokers count 50. 21:27.460 --> 21:29.460 You don't explain it very good. I don't understand. 21:29.460 --> 21:31.460 Well, how simple can it be? Gannon's not even playing. 21:31.460 --> 21:33.460 You get it, don't you, Gannon? 21:33.460 --> 21:35.460 Okay. Red threes count 100. 21:35.460 --> 21:39.460 Jokers count 50. Black threes, you can freeze the pack. 21:39.460 --> 21:41.460 Yeah, good. Now, hold on to that, will you? 21:41.460 --> 21:43.460 Now, black threes freeze the pack, 21:43.460 --> 21:45.460 but that's not the only card that can do it. 21:45.460 --> 21:47.460 No? No. 21:47.460 --> 21:48.460 Deuces can do the same thing. 21:48.460 --> 21:50.460 Well, you see, the only difference is if you use a deuce, 21:50.460 --> 21:52.460 which is also a wild card, 21:52.460 --> 21:55.460 you have to have a natural pair in order to pick up the pack. 21:55.460 --> 21:57.460 Now, with a black three, it's only good until... 21:57.460 --> 21:59.460 I knew it. I knew it wouldn't work. 21:59.460 --> 22:00.460 It was sour right from the start. 22:00.460 --> 22:02.460 Vickers killed the cop. 22:02.460 --> 22:03.460 Ben, call the denographer. 22:03.460 --> 22:05.460 I'm coming out.
