It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch 20 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,920 at a Blanco Detail. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Thad Brown, Chief of 21 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:14,960 Detectives. My name's Friday. I was on the way back from the Record Bureau and it 22 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,560 was 10 45 a.m. when I got to room 38. Blanco Fugitive Detail. 23 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,560 Friday? 24 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,080 Captain, they're bringing him in now. 25 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,080 Sit down. 26 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,520 Thanks. Here's the mama sheet on him. 27 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,360 Oh, gentlemen Wallace. I thought he was out of our hair for good. 28 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 So did I. The list turned up. I heard he was working New York. 29 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Look at the package in this guy. He's like a good-sized dictionary. 30 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Yeah, check the date of his first arrest there. 31 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,320 June 2nd, 1913. He's been in and out of jail all over the country. 32 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,240 McLean County, Oregon, forgery. Bum-checked beef, San Francisco, 1914. 33 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Besamut, Santa Ana. Parole violations, Seattle, Portland. More checks, Reno. 34 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Billings, Montana, forgery, 1920. Dayton, Ohio, Pittsburgh, New York, Grand 35 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,280 Larceny. Bunko wraps, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Chicago. 36 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,640 That's only the first page. There's a couple more there. 37 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,080 He reads like a novel. Just about as long. 38 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600 What's the story on Wallace this time? What have we got? 39 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,520 He reached a couple of used car dealers Saturday. Took them for 2,000 each and we can't touch 40 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320 him. Why not? How'd he work it? 41 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,880 Saturday afternoon he went to a car lot in the corner of South 3rd and Washington. 42 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,400 He bought a 1948 Lincoln sedan. Showed him his identification, wrote a check 43 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,040 for $1,500 for a down payment and drove away. Another bum-checked deal. 44 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,560 That's a little more than that. About 45 minutes after he left, he drove 45 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,800 into another used car lot two blocks away from the place where he bought the Lincoln. 46 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920 Told the salesman there that he didn't like the car and he wanted to trade it in on another 47 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,800 one. Salesman offered him $900 less than he paid 48 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040 for it. Wallace accepted and offered them a personal 49 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,840 check to cover the balance. And the salesman went for it? 50 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,040 Almost. Wallace seemed so anxious to get rid of the 51 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,120 car that the clerk got suspicious, but it was late Saturday and he couldn't call the bank 52 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,600 on Wallace's check. So he called the place where Wallace bought 53 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,920 the car. That's right. 54 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,800 He found out that the sale was made less than an hour before and that Wallace had given 55 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,520 them his personal check for it. And then the two used car dealers got on the 56 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,520 phone, decided that Wallace was pulling a fast hustle, called a cop and had him jailed. 57 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Hold that light a minute, will you? Thanks. 58 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,800 Well, then what? Well, when the banks opened Monday morning, 59 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,840 they called about Wallace's account. They had enough money in to cover both checks. 60 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,680 Wallace got a lawyer and threatened suit against the two car dealers. He had both of them cold. 61 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,440 They settled out of court for 2,000 a piece. Quick deal. Sounds like a master. 62 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,360 He's been grifting for 35 years. Knows the con game anyway they want to play it. 63 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560 We can't even book him on a vague charge. He's got a job. 64 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,360 Who's he working for? Plastic outfit out in Pasadena. Salesman. 65 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400 Is he registered under 5238? Yes. 66 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,120 No, just a minute. Yeah? All right, send him in. 67 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,920 Romero, he's got Wallace with him. Ben? 68 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Wallace, this is Captain Bryson. Captain, I'm very happy to know you. I've heard a lot about you. 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,720 Yeah. Saturday, Friday, how are you? 70 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,200 I would like to talk to you, Wallace. Sit down. Oh, thanks. 71 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:17,440 Warm out today. Prespiring. Now, what is it I can help you gentlemen with? 72 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,360 Always glad to cooperate? You don't have to give us a buildup, Wallace. We're not buying. 73 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,280 You know me better than that, Sergeant. No point in making this visit an unpleasant one. 74 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,480 Codiality, that's a secret. My mother-in-law used to tell me that. She used to say... 75 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,240 Look, mister. You're not here to get the keys to the city hall. You're here for investigation. 76 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,640 I'm here out of courtesy, Captain. My lawyer informed me I didn't have to come. 77 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880 I don't believe in making enemies, that's all. 78 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,320 You're a guy that's not trying. You've done pretty well, haven't you? 79 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,080 Now, how long do you plan to stay here in town? Los Angeles is my home. It's my place of business. 80 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800 That's fine with us, Wallace, just as long as it's honest. 81 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,840 Now, let me hand you a piece of advice. You try copping any more jobs in this town, 82 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:59,640 we're gonna lean on you, understand? I don't think I do understand, Captain. 83 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,720 The incident with the used car dealers, I hope that isn't what upset you. 84 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,840 You guessed it, and it better be the last caper you try around here for a long time. 85 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:11,480 I had every right to take action against those car dealers. False arrests. They humiliated me. 86 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,960 They damaged my reputation. Here's your reputation, Wallace. 35 years of it. 87 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,920 Ten jail terms, larceny, bunko, forgery. Have you ever heard of rehabilitation, Sergeant? 88 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,520 Oh, yeah. I did my time. I don't owe them a day. 89 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,960 I've got an honest job. I've been off the grift for years now. 90 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,600 Then take a hint, Wallace. Stay off. You'll do better. 91 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880 That's all, Wallace. Just remember, the next time we tag you, you're gonna fall hard. 92 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,120 You got it straight? Captain, I've been square since I got to town. I'm not switching. 93 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,160 Is that it? That's all. 94 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Well, that wasn't so bad. Would you gentlemen care to have some lunch with me at the club? 95 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,880 Just a snack. No, thanks. 96 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,200 Sure, I can't persuade you. The club's just up the street. Fine food. 97 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Some other time, Wallace. Goodbye. 98 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,160 Well, goodbye, Sergeant. Goodbye to you, Captain. 99 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Yeah. Well, we gave him the word. 100 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960 I don't know how much good it's gonna do. What do you think, Skipper? 101 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:11,320 Two things about grifters. They never retire and they never change. Watch him. 102 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920 For the next four months, Charles Wallace was kept under surveillance. 103 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,960 From his daily actions, there was nothing to indicate that he'd return to his former profession of confidence man. 104 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,160 From experience, we knew it was too good to be true. 105 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,200 For a man who would work the con game from every conceivable angle for as long as Wallace had, 106 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,720 chances of his going straight amounted to less than one in a thousand. 107 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:39,240 Just as a dope addict, as a slave to drugs, the full-fledged con man or grifter is obsessed with the idea of swindling for a living. 108 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,480 He loves his work and he takes pride in it just as much as a doctor, a lawyer, or any legitimate professional man. 109 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,480 He has a life and a code of ethics all his own. He even has his own language. 110 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,960 The grifters' victims are wealthy, middle class, and poor, and many more than the average citizen imagines. 111 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,960 Wednesday, December 1st, 1 p.m. Ben and I had lunch and checked back in at the office. 112 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,960 Food's getting better at the cafeteria, don't you think? 113 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,960 Beef stew is pretty good. You got an extra coat hanger in your locker? 114 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,960 Oh yeah. Yeah, here you are. 115 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,960 Thanks. Hi, Conlon. 116 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Joe. Do you see this report the post office detail sent over? 117 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960 You mean that lonely heart thing? 118 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,960 No, this is a different one. A real twist. 119 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,960 How do you mean, Harry? Let me look. 120 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960 That's the name he uses anyway. 121 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,960 A couple of weeks ago, he planted a small wand ad in the newspapers around town. 122 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960 Been cleaning up ever since. How'd he work? 123 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,960 Here, take a look at the ad he was running. 124 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Remember, tomorrow is the last day to send your dollar to Box 565, Main Post Office, Los Angeles. Was that all? 125 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,960 That's all it took. The last couple of days, he's been getting about 40 letters a day from people in this city. 126 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,960 With a dollar in each one. 127 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,960 Ad doesn't promise a thing. Just send your dollar. People send them. 128 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,960 They picked the guy up, Harry? 129 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960 He called for the last batch of letters two days ago. Probably pulled out. 130 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,960 Postal inspectors checked the address he gave when he applied for the box. They never heard of him there. 131 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,960 Barney Grant. That sound familiar to you, Ben? 132 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Little, yeah. Maybe R&I has a package on him. 133 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,960 Mm-hmm. 134 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,960 Friday, see you in a minute. 135 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,960 Right, Captain. Ben, you and Conlon want to check that name through R&I. I'll be in the list giver. 136 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,960 Yeah, okay, Jack. 137 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,960 Well, Friday, close the door, will you? 138 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960 Sure. 139 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,960 This is Mr. Sawyer. He's with Western Central Railroad. Sergeant Friday. 140 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,960 Sergeant, how are you? 141 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,960 It's about Wallace Friday. Mr. Sawyer has a complaint against him. We've got the crime report. 142 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,960 Gentlemen Wallace? 143 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,960 Yeah. You want to fill him in, Mr. Sawyer? 144 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,960 Well, Sergeant, I'm employed as a standards engineer for the Western Central Railroad. 145 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:46,960 Wallace first approached me about a month ago. He said he was an inventor and he was working on plans of a new type of air brake for use on railroad cars. 146 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,960 Mm-hmm, go ahead. 147 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,960 He said he'd conceive the idea, but that he needed more time and money to perfect his invention. 148 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,960 He told me I'd share in half of the profits he got from his idea. It sounded more than fair. 149 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,960 How much money did you give him? 150 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,960 All I had in my savings account, 3,000. I talked it over with the wife and the idea looked real good on paper. 151 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Yeah. 152 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,960 I didn't expect to make too much money for myself out of this, but I thought if I could get a hold of this braking system, it would certainly help the company out. 153 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,960 Mm-hmm. He took your money and you haven't heard from him since. 154 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,960 Well, I presented the plans to the chief specifications engineer in our Eastern office. 155 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,960 Yeah? 156 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,960 I got an answer yesterday, air mail. Our New York office has been working for two years on exactly the same set of brake plans. 157 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,960 And how do you get a hold of them? 158 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,960 From the patent bureau in Washington. 159 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,960 Oh, yeah. 160 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,960 The company has a patent pending on the new device. 161 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,960 Mm-hmm. It's all legal, isn't it? 162 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,960 Yes, yes. He simply got the information from them, drew up an exact copy, and submitted them to me. 163 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960 He sold you an invention that your company already owned. 164 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960 Yes, sir. And I'm out 3,000 dollars. 165 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,960 You know where Wallace might be now? 166 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,960 We've checked the boarding house where he was staying. He left there last night. No forwarding address, nothing. 167 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,960 We've got an all-out points bulletin on him.

Signed himself William Kilbright. 356 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,960 The letters mention anything about how the payoff's supposed to be made? 357 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,960 The guy wrote he'd contact them by phone first. They make arrangements to meet him. Both families will call as soon as they hear from him. 358 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Now if he doesn't change his M.O. we're set. 359 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,960 Connell, you and Myberg stick with the family in Highland Park. Make sure they understand perfectly what the setup is. 360 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,960 While it makes a contact, be there. 361 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Okay, Cap. 362 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,960 Joe, you and Ben cover the family out in Bel Air. 363 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,960 Okay. You got Secor's address here? 364 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,960 Here's the crime report. It's got all the dope good. 365 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,960 I'll grab it. 366 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,960 Bunko, fugitive Conlon. Yes, ma'am?

We'll take care of it. 368 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Secor, as Wallace just called him. 369 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,960 What's the pitch? 370 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,960 Once it pays respect, he's going to visit him tonight. 371 00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,960 7.35 p.m. Monday, March 3rd. Ben and I drove out to Bel Air, to the Secor place. 372 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,960 It was an English-type mansion with a circular driveway out in front. 373 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:15,960 The wake for Mr. Secor was being held in the living room. The butler showed us into the library where Mrs. Secor was waiting. 374 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,960 She told us everything had transpired since she first received a letter from Wallace following her husband's death. 375 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,960 She said Wallace had promised to be at her home promptly at 9 p.m. 376 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,960 We waited. 9 p.m. came and went. 377 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,960 We told her that if the suspect should call to make any concessions, we'd agree to anything in order to set up a meeting with him. 378 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,960 At 10 minutes past 10, the phone in the library rang. Mrs. Secor answered it. I listened in on the extension. 379 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:47,960 I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Secor. I did want to get out to pay my last respects, but I'm afraid that will be impossible. 380 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,960 Oh, I'm sorry you won't be able to come. I'd like to settle up that debt, the money that Burton owed you. 381 00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:01,960 I do hope you understand, Mrs. Secor. It's very difficult for me to bring up such a subject at this time of your bereavement, 382 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:10,960 but I do have need of the money. You see, it's my wife. She's quite ill, and, well, there are medical expenses to be met. 383 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,960 Oh, I understand. When would you like to come for the money? 384 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Well, would tomorrow be all right? 385 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,960 My husband's funeral is tomorrow. 386 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,960 Oh, I see. Well, where will that be? 387 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:30,960 At the cathedral on Sunset Boulevard, Arraquia Mass at St. Mary's at 9 o'clock. 388 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:41,960 Well, since I don't want to bother you personally anymore, I wonder if it would be possible for you to leave the cash with the head usher there at the church. 389 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,960 Well, yes, all right. I think that would be the best way. 390 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,960 All right, then. Good night, and thank you. 391 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,960 Yes, good night. 392 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,960 I'm sorry.

It's strange, isn't it? 394 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,960 What's that? 395 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:09,960 One man burns out his whole life making money. The next man spends his time trying to steal it. What does it all mean? 396 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,960 I don't know. We've got 2,600 men down in the county jail, and we all think they've got the right answer. 397 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:28,960 Tuesday, March 4th, 9 a.m. in St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunset Boulevard, the final rites, Arraquia Mass, was being celebrated for Burton James Secor. 398 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,960 Ben and I were stationed at the rear of the church. 399 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,960 Conlon and Myberg, together with two other men from Bunko Detail, covered the side exits. 400 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,960 An extra detail of men were placed at strategic points around the cathedral. 401 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,960 The head usher stood a few feet from the main entrance. 402 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:51,960 With him, he carried a plain manila envelope filled with pieces of newspaper cut to resemble the size of currency, along with a single dollar bill. 403 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,960 He had instructions to hand over the envelope without question to the person who asked for it. 404 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Fifteen minutes past nine, Joe. 405 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,960 Yeah.
