Yes, that's right. 03:34.540 --> 03:36.540 Could the apartment have been entered without either one of you knowing it? 03:36.540 --> 03:39.540 No, sir. The back entrance is double-latched. 03:39.540 --> 03:41.540 No one could have broken in the front way. 03:41.540 --> 03:43.540 My room's right beside the front door and I would have heard. 03:43.540 --> 03:48.540 You told us on the phone that this Dr. Schulte was middle-aged, dark, 03:48.540 --> 03:52.540 close to five feet, 11, stocky, and wears a goatee. 03:52.540 --> 03:54.540 No other distinguishing features.

Have you known this Dr. Schulte long, Miss Hutchins? 04:29.540 --> 04:31.540 About four months. 04:31.540 --> 04:33.540 Did you meet him at a party, maybe? 04:33.540 --> 04:35.540 No, I was a student of his. 04:35.540 --> 04:36.540 Where was this? 04:36.540 --> 04:39.540 This small college in Hollywood. He was the head of the school. 04:39.540 --> 04:41.540 He was a teacher too. 04:41.540 --> 04:43.540 Do you have the name and address of the college? 04:43.540 --> 04:45.540 Daddy can give it to you. It's in my desk. 04:45.540 --> 04:46.540 You're still a student there? 04:46.540 --> 04:50.540 No. I don't take the course. I stopped. 04:50.540 --> 04:54.540 The college was closed. That's when he came here to treat me for my headaches. 04:54.540 --> 04:57.540 How did he start giving you these treatments, Miss Hutchins? 04:57.540 --> 04:59.540 One day in his lecture, I fainted. 04:59.540 --> 05:03.540 He took me to his office and told me that pain was only a state of mind. 05:03.540 --> 05:05.540 A state of mind. 05:05.540 --> 05:06.540 Yes, ma'am. 05:06.540 --> 05:09.540 My headache didn't bother me anymore. 05:09.540 --> 05:12.540 He said that relief would only be temporary if I didn't take regular treatment. 05:12.540 --> 05:14.540 What did you see him regularly? 05:14.540 --> 05:17.540 He said I'm twice a week. Twice a week. 05:17.540 --> 05:18.540 Always here? 05:18.540 --> 05:21.540 The college is in it closed. I don't know why. 05:21.540 --> 05:24.540 He telephoned and said he would continue here. 05:24.540 --> 05:27.540 Well, where did you get in touch with him when the college closed? 05:27.540 --> 05:29.540 I never did. He always called here. 05:29.540 --> 05:31.540 Do you have any idea where he is now? 05:31.540 --> 05:33.540 No, I just know that he's a thief. 05:33.540 --> 05:36.540 Why don't you lie down, Miss Hutchins? You look tired. 05:36.540 --> 05:37.540 All right. 05:37.540 --> 05:38.540 Thank you, Miss Hutchins. 05:38.540 --> 05:41.540 Yes, ma'am.

Thank you. 05:52.540 --> 05:53.540 Officer. 05:53.540 --> 05:54.540 Yes, ma'am. 05:54.540 --> 05:57.540 If this man's just a common thief, 05:57.540 --> 06:01.540 the treatments he's been giving Miss Hutchins couldn't have been very good, could they? 06:01.540 --> 06:03.540 She's still got the headaches, hasn't she? 06:06.540 --> 06:09.540 1150 a.m. We checked the apartment for physical evidence. 06:09.540 --> 06:12.540 There was nothing to indicate that the place had been broken into. 06:12.540 --> 06:16.540 We put in a call to latent fingerprints to send a man out to check the closet and dresser. 06:16.540 --> 06:22.540 We completed the crime report, and Betty Gregg the maid gave us the name and address of Dr. Schulte's college, 06:22.540 --> 06:27.540 the Los Angeles College of Psychotherapeutics and Psychiatry at a Franklin Street number in Hollywood. 06:27.540 --> 06:33.540 Ben and I got out a teletype to Sacramento asking information on the chartering of the stool that Dr. Schulte was supposed to have headed. 06:33.540 --> 06:37.540 We checked on Betty Gregg the maid and found that she was a Los Angeles girl. 06:37.540 --> 06:40.540 Her parents still living in the city. She had a good reputation. 06:40.540 --> 06:43.540 2.35 p.m. We went to the address where the college had been. 06:43.540 --> 06:49.540 It was a big brown clabbered house with several dormer windows facing the street. It was vacant. 06:49.540 --> 06:55.540 The front door was boarded up. A rental agency sign was stuck up on one of the pillars on the front porch. 06:57.540 --> 06:58.540 Joe. 06:58.540 --> 06:59.540 Hmm? 06:59.540 --> 07:02.540 Front room there. Must have been where they had classes. 07:02.540 --> 07:04.540 Those are chairs nailed down, you see. 07:04.540 --> 07:05.540 Yeah, let me look. 07:05.540 --> 07:06.540 Hmm. 07:06.540 --> 07:08.540 I don't see any papers inside. No mail. 07:08.540 --> 07:09.540 Hi. 07:09.540 --> 07:10.540 Yeah. 07:10.540 --> 07:12.540 My name's Tom Thompson. You interested in the place? 07:12.540 --> 07:13.540 You're the agent? 07:13.540 --> 07:18.540 No, no, I just live next door. I'm a dry cleaner myself, but I sort of promised the real estate agent I'd keep an eye peeled, 07:18.540 --> 07:20.540 see if I could be of help. Anyone get me a chaplet? 07:20.540 --> 07:22.540 Police officers. We're just checking. 07:22.540 --> 07:24.540 Oh, is there something wrong? Somebody break in? 07:24.540 --> 07:26.540 Did you live next door when this was a school here? 07:26.540 --> 07:32.540 Yeah, that psychology bunch here. About, oh, ten months maybe less. I always thought it was kind of a shoestring operation. 07:32.540 --> 07:33.540 How do you mean? 07:33.540 --> 07:36.540 Oh, you know, not much, though. They're just making ends meet. No class, you know. 07:36.540 --> 07:37.540 Always just adults? 07:37.540 --> 07:42.540 Well, classes used to be mostly during the day. I was at work. My wife used to tell me, there were no kids at school. 07:42.540 --> 07:44.540 Did you know the man that ran the school? 07:44.540 --> 07:50.540 No, he was a middle-aged guy with a kind of a pointed beard. Had a pal, a younger guy. Never stopped to talk. 07:50.540 --> 07:53.540 They're pretty tight-mouthed guys, like I said. Why, what'd they do? 07:53.540 --> 07:57.540 Routine investigation, Mr. Thompson. Do you have any idea where they might be contacted now? 07:57.540 --> 08:02.540 No, no. The real estate agent said they skipped without paying last month's rent for him. He's been trying to find them. 08:02.540 --> 08:03.540 Do you remember their names? 08:03.540 --> 08:10.540 Well, let's see. The older guy, the guy with the beard was named Schultz or something like that. I can't remember the young fellow though, but... 08:10.540 --> 08:12.540 Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I got their door. 08:12.540 --> 08:13.540 How's that? 08:13.540 --> 08:19.540 I got their door. The agent let me have the front front. I'm building a patio porch in the back of my house, and the glass that I took out of the door has got the names lettered on it. 08:19.540 --> 08:20.540 Oh, that's fine. 08:20.540 --> 08:23.540 Come on. I'll see if I still got it in the garage. It's right around here. 08:23.540 --> 08:24.540 Okay. 08:25.540 --> 08:26.540 Little chilly today, huh? 08:26.540 --> 08:27.540 Yeah, a little. 08:30.540 --> 08:32.540 You want to stand back there?

Like I say, they're pretty tight-lipped guys. Not very friendly. They're real quiet. 08:49.540 --> 08:50.540 Mm-hmm. 08:50.540 --> 08:51.540 Yeah, here it is. I got it. 08:51.540 --> 08:53.540 Just leave it right there.

There was a report from Layton Fingerprints. 09:53.540 --> 09:57.540 Nothing but the prints of the two girls had been found in the Hutchins' apartment. 09:57.540 --> 10:01.540 We checked what information we had on Schulte and Donaldson through to the FBI on the teletype. 10:01.540 --> 10:09.540 A check of doctors registered with the Los Angeles County Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association failed to turn up anybody named Dr. Schulte. 10:09.540 --> 10:17.540 We had our eye bureau and stats office make runs on Leo Donaldson and Schulte and a rundown on the reports where the burger had posed as a psychologist. 10:17.540 --> 10:22.540 The stats office turned up a couple of dozen new suspects. We pulled the mug shots and headed for the Hutchins' apartment. 10:26.540 --> 10:28.540 Looks like something's doing at the Hutchins' apartment, huh? 10:28.540 --> 10:30.540 Yeah, a lot of cruiser cars, huh? 10:30.540 --> 10:31.540 Let's have a look. 10:31.540 --> 10:33.540 Sorry, can't go in. 10:33.540 --> 10:35.540 Sergeant Friday Romero sent for burglary. 10:35.540 --> 10:36.540 Oh, sure, Sergeant. 10:36.540 --> 10:37.540 What's the trouble? 10:37.540 --> 10:39.540 A girl named Lefuchin shot herself. 10:49.540 --> 10:54.540 You are listening to Dragnet.

Donaldson has listed as staff. 13:07.540 --> 13:10.540 There are no addresses other than the Franklin Street number there. 13:10.540 --> 13:11.540 Anything else? 13:11.540 --> 13:20.540 A month ago Leo Donaldson opened courses of construction in Los Angeles under the title of California Physicians College of Psychiatry, 781 South Street. 13:20.540 --> 13:22.540 Schulte associated with him? 13:22.540 --> 13:23.540 No. 13:23.540 --> 13:25.540 Have any idea where Schulte is? 13:25.540 --> 13:27.540 No, we don't, but we're looking. 13:27.540 --> 13:32.540 We've got the support of the medical people to push a bunko charge for the operation of the old school. 13:32.540 --> 13:35.540 Donaldson should be able to give you a lead on Schulte? 13:35.540 --> 13:37.540 Figures they might be in contact. 13:37.540 --> 13:41.540 Looks like they actually ran the school together even though Schulte was legally responsible. 13:41.540 --> 13:44.540 Ben and I have an idea on how maybe we can find out. 13:44.540 --> 13:45.540 How's that? 13:45.540 --> 13:50.540 We thought one of us could make a pitch to Donaldson, see if he'd sell a degree from the new school. 13:50.540 --> 13:56.540 Get evidence to support a bunko warrant and check at the same time to see if Donaldson has contact with Schulte. 13:56.540 --> 13:59.540 Well, I'll let the bunko detail know we're trying. 13:59.540 --> 14:00.540 Think you can do it? 14:00.540 --> 14:01.540 I'd try. 14:01.540 --> 14:03.540 Know anything else about Donaldson's courses? 14:03.540 --> 14:04.540 No, that doesn't bother me. 14:04.540 --> 14:05.540 How come? 14:05.540 --> 14:06.540 Neither does Donaldson. 14:11.540 --> 14:16.540 In trying to get Schulte through his former associate Leo Donaldson, we again contacted the medical association. 14:16.540 --> 14:23.540 They furnished us with the name of Ralph Morris, a graduate of the Franklin Street School who had since been killed in an auto accident. 14:23.540 --> 14:30.540 Tuesday, 1130 a.m., Ben and I get to 781 South Hill Street, a seven-story office building in the heart of the Los Angeles business district. 14:30.540 --> 14:36.540 The directory in the lobby listed the California Physicians College of Psychiatry for rooms 214 and 216. 14:36.540 --> 14:57.540 Ben waited outside in the car. I took the elevator up. 14:57.540 --> 14:58.540 Yes, may I help you? 14:58.540 --> 14:59.540 Dr. Donaldson? 14:59.540 --> 15:01.540 I'm Dr. Leo Donaldson. May I be of assistance? 15:01.540 --> 15:05.540 My name is Frank Ditten. I wanted to ask about the curriculum here. 15:05.540 --> 15:08.540 We've just opened, Mr. Ditten. We're not quite ready to start classes. 15:08.540 --> 15:13.540 You understand this is very advanced instruction. Most of our students will have had considerable background in psychiatry. 15:13.540 --> 15:18.540 Oh. Well, a friend of mine, Dr. Morse, said that he was sure I'd be a good student for you. 15:18.540 --> 15:19.540 Dr. Morse? 15:19.540 --> 15:20.540 Uh-huh. 15:20.540 --> 15:21.540 I'm not sure I'd place him. 15:21.540 --> 15:26.540 He was one of your students at the Franklin Street School. Said that Dr. Schulte knew him quite well. 15:26.540 --> 15:30.540 Oh, oh, yes. Yes, I remember. Brilliant man. How's he getting along? 15:30.540 --> 15:32.540 He was killed in a car collision. 15:32.540 --> 15:34.540 Oh, that's too bad. 15:34.540 --> 15:40.540 Well, frankly, what I was interested in was being able to take over his practice. Could I get the same deal he got? 15:40.540 --> 15:42.540 I think so, Mr. Ditten. What'd you have in mind? 15:42.540 --> 15:49.540 Well, take some courses and get a degree. I worked with Morse for a while. I can set up a clinic. He did okay. I figure maybe I can, too. 15:49.540 --> 15:51.540 Well, here's a list of the courses we'll offer. 15:51.540 --> 15:52.540 Thank you. 15:52.540 --> 15:55.540 We'll look over it together and you can indicate what sphere of study you'd like to undertake. 15:55.540 --> 15:56.540 Uh-huh. 15:56.540 --> 15:59.540 Does Dr. Schulte teach any of these courses? 15:59.540 --> 16:00.540 No, he doesn't. 16:00.540 --> 16:08.540 Now, the first semester will include painless and drugless childbirth, practical and applied psychology, autosuggestion, prenatal suggestion. 16:08.540 --> 16:14.540 Yeah. Well, look, Dr. Donaldson, straight practical and applied psychology is the specialty that I want. 16:14.540 --> 16:15.540 You see. 16:15.540 --> 16:17.540 What degree do I get and how much will it cost? 16:17.540 --> 16:24.540 Well, the least expensive is a doctorate of psychotherapy at $450. A doctorate of philosophy in psychology is $500. 16:24.540 --> 16:29.540 For all purposes, if you can afford it, Mr. Ditten is a doctorate of science. That's $800. 16:29.540 --> 16:32.540 That course was $1000 at the Franklin Street School. 16:32.540 --> 16:37.540 Yeah. Well, I don't know. That's a lot of money. I guess I have to have it, though. I wonder if you'd take a check now. 16:37.540 --> 16:46.540 Certainly. You understand what a tremendous advantage these degrees are to the professional man who, for one reason or another, may never have had a chance to get a college diploma. 16:46.540 --> 16:48.540 Uh-huh. Well, the course is very hard. 16:48.540 --> 16:52.540 You look like an intelligent man, Mr. Ditten. I'm sure you'd have no difficulty. 16:52.540 --> 16:57.540 All right. Well, say, look, doctor, I live out in Van Nuys now and I'm working three days a week at the present time. 16:57.540 --> 17:01.540 It's going to be pretty tough to get downtown here. Do I have to be here every day? 17:01.540 --> 17:07.540 Since it's the diplomas most of our students are interested in, we have on occasion made exceptions in cases like yours. 17:07.540 --> 17:08.540 Well, I'd appreciate that. 17:08.540 --> 17:12.540 We could possibly, in the case of a doctorate of science, present you with your diploma in advance. 17:12.540 --> 17:17.540 You're taking the course and you could launch into private practice at once and take the course whenever it suited you. 17:17.540 --> 17:19.540 Well, I couldn't ask for a better deal. 17:19.540 --> 17:23.540 Everything's mentioned in this catalog. The forms are in the back. Why don't you sit down right there? 17:23.540 --> 17:28.540 Thank you very much. 17:28.540 --> 17:34.540 And rules and regulations. No books are required of students. 17:34.540 --> 17:35.540 Well, that's a break, huh? 17:35.540 --> 17:41.540 We lecture a little differently from some colleges and therefore we've dispensed with texts because we feel they tend to confuse the data. 17:41.540 --> 17:45.540 Uh-huh. When I take the course, who will be my instructor? 17:45.540 --> 17:46.540 I will. 17:46.540 --> 17:49.540 Well, Morse talked a lot about Dr. Schulte. Does he teach any of the classes? 17:49.540 --> 17:57.540 No, Dr. Schulte was associated with me in the operation of the Franklin Street School but is not the staff member of the California Physicians College of Psychiatry. 17:57.540 --> 18:01.540 Well, I'm just wondering, if I paid extra, could I get some classes with him? 18:01.540 --> 18:05.540 Morse said that he picked up a lot of useful information from Schulte. He's a fellow with a goatee in him? 18:05.540 --> 18:10.540 Yes, that's right. Well, truthfully, I have no idea where Dr. Schulte's presently located. 18:10.540 --> 18:13.540 I understand. 18:13.540 --> 18:16.540 Now, let's have one regulation here. 18:16.540 --> 18:17.540 Yes. 18:17.540 --> 18:23.540 No student will be admitted who cannot show documentary proof of the successful completion of secondary schoolwork. 18:23.540 --> 18:26.540 High school? You can understand that, can't you, Mr. Ditten? 18:26.540 --> 18:27.540 I mean? 18:27.540 --> 18:33.540 Well, there are certain minimum academic standards we must observe in order to maintain the quality of our degree. 18:33.540 --> 18:44.540 Dr. Donaldson accepted my check to the amount of $800. I asked for a receipt and he filled out a blank doctorate of science degree, 18:44.540 --> 18:48.540 which he carefully lettered with the name Frank Ditten, and signed himself as dean. 18:48.540 --> 18:52.540 I arrested Donaldson and Ben and I took him in for booking. 1 p.m. 18:52.540 --> 18:58.540 We received a long teletype from Washington. Arthur Schulte had a record of arrests and convictions back east. 18:58.540 --> 19:04.540 It started with a conviction 16 years ago for the interstate transportation of pornographic motion pictures. 19:04.540 --> 19:10.540 The record gave us no known addresses, but important in the information was the fact that Schulte had originally been trained 19:10.540 --> 19:14.540 and had worked at being a projectionist in movie theaters. 19:14.540 --> 19:19.540 In the MO was the notation that he'd been known to take up his old occupation when sought by authorities. 19:19.540 --> 19:26.540 1.35 p.m. We contacted the local office of the Motion Picture Projectionist Union where they told us they had placed Arthur Schulte 19:26.540 --> 19:31.540 in the booth of one of the Main Street newsreel houses on Sunday that was the day before. 19:31.540 --> 19:39.540 2.30 p.m. The Crescent Theater was buried between two bars and advertised an hour of newsreels in short subjects for 20 cents. 19:39.540 --> 19:44.540 Where's the manager? I'm him. Can we talk to you a minute? Police officers. 19:44.540 --> 19:47.540 What? I say we're police officers. We'd like to talk to you. 19:47.540 --> 19:52.540 Nobody here to take over. Why don't you come in and I can open the booth door here and talk. 19:52.540 --> 19:56.540 Okay. Right around the back I guess, here, Ben. 19:58.540 --> 19:59.540 Where is he? 20:00.540 --> 20:01.540 Hey, mister. 20:03.540 --> 20:05.540 Okay. What's the trouble, officer? 20:05.540 --> 20:08.540 Do you have a man by the name of Schulte working here? 20:08.540 --> 20:14.540 That's right. Projectionist isn't working right this minute though. Comes on duty at four. An hour. 20:14.540 --> 20:18.540 All right. I wonder if you'd take a look at this description, please. 20:19.540 --> 20:20.540 There you are. 20:22.540 --> 20:28.540 Five-eleven. Man working here is clean shaven, no goatee. That's how that sounds the same. 20:28.540 --> 20:30.540 Any idea where he lives? 20:30.540 --> 20:31.540 No, I don't. 20:31.540 --> 20:33.540 Well, we'll have to wait for him here. 20:33.540 --> 20:35.540 All right. Wait a minute. 20:35.540 --> 20:36.540 Just one. 20:39.540 --> 20:41.540 Where do you want to wait? Inside? 20:41.540 --> 20:44.540 Well, I think we'd rather stay up in the projection booth if it's all right. 20:44.540 --> 20:49.540 Up the steel stairs there on the right. Tell Pete Eigen. He's the man up there now. I said it was okay. 20:49.540 --> 20:51.540 All right. Don't say anything to him when he gets here, will you, sir? 20:51.540 --> 20:52.540 I won't, officer. 20:52.540 --> 20:54.540 Come on, Ben. It's this way. 20:57.540 --> 20:59.540 It's a long climb, huh? 20:59.540 --> 21:01.540 Yeah, it is. It's right up there. 21:01.540 --> 21:03.540 Oh, yeah. 21:07.540 --> 21:09.540 This must be it. 21:09.540 --> 21:11.540 Hey, mister! 21:11.540 --> 21:13.540 Mister! 21:14.540 --> 21:15.540 Yeah? 21:15.540 --> 21:17.540 Police officers. 21:17.540 --> 21:18.540 Anything wrong? 21:18.540 --> 21:20.540 We're gonna have to wait here. The manager said it was okay. 21:20.540 --> 21:22.540 Wait for what? 21:22.540 --> 21:23.540 We want to talk to your relief man. 21:23.540 --> 21:24.540 You mean the doc? 21:24.540 --> 21:25.540 You know him? 21:25.540 --> 21:27.540 Well, just since yesterday. 21:27.540 --> 21:29.540 Why do you call him the doc? 21:29.540 --> 21:32.540 Well, you know, it speaks kind of fancy for a projectionist. 21:32.540 --> 21:33.540 What'd he do? 21:33.540 --> 21:34.540 Oh, he just likes to talk to them. 21:34.540 --> 21:37.540 Okay. You know, the guy doesn't come on for about an hour. 21:37.540 --> 21:38.540 Yeah, they told us. 21:38.540 --> 21:42.540 Now, you want to look at the picture? You can both sit by the observation board on the film stage, sir. 21:42.540 --> 21:43.540 Yeah, thanks. 21:43.540 --> 21:45.540 Sit over here, Ben. 21:45.540 --> 21:47.540 Is this all right here? 21:47.540 --> 21:48.540 Yeah, it's fine. 21:48.540 --> 21:50.540 Huh.
