He refused to divulge any further information. 139 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000 What he had told us, together with information already compiled, seemed to check out. 140 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,000 For the past seven months, we'd been trying to localize the operations of what had come to be regarded as a well-running distribution center for high-grade heroin. 141 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000 We knew of the existence of this distribution point through the various users that had been picked up almost daily. 142 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000 These users would have in their possession quantities of high-grade narcotics. 143 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Unlike the cheaper, lower-grade quality common in the southwest part of the country, 144 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000 this type of heroin was more common to the eastern section of the United States. 145 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000 We had believed the local distribution point to be somewhere in our metropolitan downtown area. 146 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000 The information gained from Monty Wilkins had strengthened this theory. 147 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 10.25 a.m. We met with Francis Kearney, captain of the narcotics division. 148 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Plizer Royal Hotel.

Anything else? 214 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000 No, we want to break this thing, but we don't want to do it at the risk of a life. So if it starts getting warm, check out. 215 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Okay. 216 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000 I still don't like sending anybody on something like this, but it's got to be done. 217 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000 We don't know enough about it.

Either way, I lose. 223 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:28,000 I went over to the photo room at the crime lab and picked up the identification papers that had been made out in the name of Joe Edwards. 224 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000 I went home and removed all Los Angeles labels from the clothing that I was to take with me to Phoenix, Arizona. 225 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000 I removed all my personal identification and Los Angeles Police Department credentials. 226 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000 I left my service revolver home and borrowed a 38 automatic from Ben. 227 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 I packed it in my suitcase. 228 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,000 The crime lab also furnished me with a package or a bindle made to resemble the usual form in which a person would carry heroin. 229 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000 I packed this in my suitcase. 230 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Before my departure, Ben and I went over the proposed plan as best we could. 231 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 I was to arrive from Phoenix under the assumed name of Joe Edwards. 232 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:11,000 I would register at the Plaza Royal Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and attempt to make arrangements to participate in a narcotics buy for the purpose of gaining sufficient evidence to apprehend the narcotics ring. 233 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000 I was to keep Ben informed as best I could of my progress. 234 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,000 As outlined by Captain Kearney, I arrived in Phoenix and contacted Sergeant Roberts at the Detective Bureau down there. 235 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:28,000 He furnished me with all the necessary information and assisted me in acquiring local Phoenix clothing store labels to have sewn in my clothing. 236 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000 I obtained everything possible to make it appear that I was a long time resident of Phoenix, Arizona. 237 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Several dummy hotel bills were made up for me to make it look as if I'd lived there for a period of time. 238 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000 I was furnished with an Arizona driver's license, a membership in the local social club, and a voter's registration stub. 239 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 These were all packed in my suitcase. 240 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000 October 9th, 10 a.m. I arrived at the Plaza Royal Hotel, the front desk. 241 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000 Yes, sir? 242 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000 My name's Edwards.

Vice Admiral Leland P. Lovett. United States Navy retired. He says, 317 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:15,000 I smoked Fatimas when I was a midshipman. I still do. Because they have a better flavor and aroma. Fatima is easily the best of all long cigarettes. 318 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Even more smokers now insist on king-size Fatimas than ever before. Because in Fatima, the difference is quality. 319 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Quality of tobaccos. The finest domestic and Turkish varieties, extra mild, superbly blended, to give you a much different, much better flavor and aroma. 320 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Manufactured. Smooth, round, perfect cigarettes. Rolled in the finest paper money can buy. Manufactured in the newest and most modern of all cigarette factories. 321 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Quality. Even to the appearance of the bright, clean, gold and yellow package. Carefully wrapped and sealed to bring you Fatima's rich, fresh, extra mild flavor. 322 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:08,000 So, if you smoke a king-size cigarette, compare Fatima. You'll find they now cost the same. But your first puff will tell you. 323 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Ah, that's different. Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality. 324 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Buy Fatima. Smoke the quality king-size cigarette. Fatima. Best of all long cigarettes. 325 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:35,000 There was a tight moment as Kirk Harding fingered the telegram in the bar of the Plaza Royal Hotel. 326 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000 I'd spent many hours in consultation with Sergeant Roberts in Phoenix, Arizona before undertaking this assignment. 327 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 I felt sure that we hadn't overlooked anything that might lead to my true identity. Kirk Harding read the wire to me. 328 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:56,000 It was from a man by the name of George Ferguson. He'd done some legwork for Harding and had not been able to furnish him with anything other than what had been found out and going over my room. 329 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,000 I knew I'd found the contact that I was looking for. I told him that I was in the business of buying narcotics. 330 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000 That I was in Los Angeles for the purpose of making a pre-arranged narcotics buy with agents dealing in Mexican stuff. 331 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Harding immediately gave me a strong sales pitch saying that he could furnish me with high-grade heroin fresh from the European market in quantity. 332 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000 At the end of the first week I was introduced to Kirk Harding's two associates. 333 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Another man called Smith, full name Horace L. Smith, and a woman by the name of Lucille Cosgrove. 334 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Ben had been unable to find records on any of the three. 335 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:36,000 For the next three weeks we became more friendly. We went places together, spent a great deal of time together. Monday, November 15th. 336 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Well, we've had a lot of fun the last few weeks, haven't we? 337 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000 There's no doubt about that, but I've got to be getting back to Phoenix. 338 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Well, now don't get eager, Joe. You know how cagey you were and you made us wait. Preliminaries are over. This is the big buy for you or anybody else. 339 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Yeah, I know all that, but who am I? 340 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000 Just be patient. You'll have something to really set yourself up with down there. 341 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000 Okay. 342 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000 Now, excuse me, Joe. 343 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Yeah, go ahead. 344 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000 Oh, hi, Lucille. 345 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Hi. 346 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Hi, sweetie. 347 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Hello, Jeff. 348 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Hi, Lucille. What's the matter, Smith? Don't you feel good? 349 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,000 I don't know. It's hotel food, I guess. I think I got an ulcer. My stomach saw all the time. 350 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Oh, that's too bad. 351 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 I don't know what it could be. Baking soda don't do any good anymore. 352 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000 How about a drink, Joe? 353 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Yeah, fine with me. 354 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Well, Lucille, you want to get some ice out of the kitchen, please? 355 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Sure. 356 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000 Skip me. 357 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000 Smith, you ought to go see a doctor. You don't know for sure what's wrong with you. It might make it worse. 358 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000 If I don't know what it is, how could a doctor? 359 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000 I don't know. It works for everybody else.
