He's still in prison. 212 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,120 We went back and started again from the beginning. 213 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120 With our best lead gone, there wasn't any alternative. 214 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,120 The following day, Thursday, March 11th, the stakeouts went into effect. 215 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,120 A dozen jewelry stores in the immediate downtown area, all of them potential hold up victims, 216 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120 were placed under constant surveillance. 217 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Three days passed. Nothing happened. No sign of the holdup man. 218 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,120 We stayed on it. Tuesday, March 16th, 11 a.m., at a small downtown jewelry shop, 219 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,120 three blocks from the nearest stakeout team, the bandit committed his fifth successive robbery 220 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,120 and made good his escape. 221 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120 The M.O. and description matched in almost every respect. 222 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,120 Ben and I answered the call and drove to the scene of the holdup to interview the victim, a Mr. Walter Myers. 223 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120 And he came straight back this way, just where I'm walking. 224 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120 I was at the end of that counter there, just where you are. 225 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,120 He had a brown paper bag in one hand, and it was just a couple of feet from me. 226 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,120 He put his other hand in his coat pocket and he came up with a gun, pointed it right at me. 227 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,120 The store was empty at the time, there were no customers around? 228 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Yeah, that's right. Just myself and my son-in-law Herb in the back room. 229 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,120 I guess he heard this thief talking to me and he came out to see what it was all about. 230 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,120 That's when the fireworks started. 231 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,120 And what happened? 232 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,120 Well, he made Herb line up along the counter right next to me. 233 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,120 By this time he had all the loot he wanted and that paper bag he was carrying. 234 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,120 Just when I thought he was going to leave, he turned around, all of a sudden he said to Herb, 235 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120 you think you're a smart guy, don't you? 236 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,120 Then he slugged Herb with the gun, brought it right down on the side of his head, all his might. 237 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,120 That's when the fight started, is that right? 238 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,120 Just about, yeah. Herb fell down on one knee. 239 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,120 There was a great big gash on the side of his face. 240 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Even when he was down, the thief kept slugging Herb, kept pounding him in the face with that gun. 241 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,120 Herb wasn't doing anything. I got good and sore. 242 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,120 What happened then? 243 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Well, I didn't care what happened. I just got sore at the lousy crook. 244 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 I made a dive for him, grabbed him around the chest. 245 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,120 Here, something like this. 246 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,120 The two of us went down on the floor and I wrestled him for the gun. 247 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120 That's when it went off. A wild shot. 248 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Plowed right into the wall over there. 249 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,120 Herb picked himself up and piled on the guy, too. 250 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,120 I guess the crook really must have figured he was through, fought like a wild man. 251 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,120 I had a good hold of the topcoat he had on, but he slipped right out of it. 252 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,120 He grabbed his gun and the paper bag ran out of the store, left me there holding an empty coat. 253 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,120 This is the coat he was wearing right here, is that right? 254 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Yeah, that's it. You can see one of the sleeves there. 255 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,120 It almost ripped it clean off trying to get away. 256 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120 Yeah, see? 257 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,120 I already looked through the pockets, nothing in them. 258 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120 How about this description of the man, Mr. Myers? You're pretty sure of that, are you? 259 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120 Yeah, I'm positive, Sergeant. 260 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,120 Ma'am, you want to call the crime lab? There's a phone booth right over there, do you mind? 261 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120 Oh, yeah, thanks. 262 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,120 I wonder if I could check that spot where the bullet hit, Mr. Myers, that wild shot he fired. 263 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,120 Oh, yeah, right over here, Sergeant. 264 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,120 Back of the cash register. 265 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,120 Yeah, I bet it in there pretty solid. 266 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,120 Yeah, lucky it was the wall, not one of us. 267 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,120 Say I got a pocket knife here if you want to dig it out. 268 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,120 No, sir, we've got a crew on the way out from our crime lab. Ballistics men, they'll take care of it. 269 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,120 I would like to take another look at that top coat, the one the thief was wearing. 270 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,120 Oh, yeah, sure. 271 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,120 I had already looked it over pretty good, nothing in the pockets. Couldn't find anything here. 272 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,120 All right, sir. Just an ordinary top coat, isn't it? There's no label on it. 273 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,120 No, you're right, nothing in the pockets. 274 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,120 Uh-huh. 275 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,120 What is it? Did you find something? 276 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Oh, no, sir, it feels like a hole in the pocket here. Good size, man. 277 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,120 No? 278 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Yeah. 279 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,120 Crime lab is on the way, should be here in a couple of minutes. 280 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,120 Okay, fine. 281 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Anything at all on the coat? 282 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,120 Well, I don't know here. 283 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Seems to be a hole in this pocket here. It's possible something might have dropped down into the lining of the coat, maybe. 284 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120 Yeah, let me hold out that end for you. 285 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,120 All right, thank you. 286 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Let me hold it up a little. That's fine, right? 287 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,120 Yeah. 288 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,120 It feels like something down in here. 289 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,120 What is it? 290 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,120 In just a minute, I'll get my hand out of there. See if I can get it. 291 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,120 Yeah, here we are. 292 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,120 A scrap of paper. 293 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Some writing on it. What is it, Joe? 294 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,120 Telephone number. 295 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:45,120 The phone number printed neatly on the scrap of paper was Crestview 92085. There were no other notations. 296 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:52,120 We checked out the number and found that the telephone was installed at 6414 Cordova Drive in the Los Feliz district. 297 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:59,120 After the crime lab crew arrived at the store, Ben and I took the bandit's top coat and drove to the address listed to the phone number, 298 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,120 a 12 unit apartment house on the corner of Franklin Avenue and Fairfax. 299 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,120 The number turned out to be a public phone booth located in the lobby of the apartment. 300 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,120 The manager could tell us nothing. We began checking with the tenants on the first floor of the building. 301 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,120 We gave them the description of the jewelry store abandoned. We showed them the top coat. They failed to recognize either one. 302 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,120 We started on the second floor at the end of the hall. The tenant was a Mrs. Iverson. 303 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,120 Do you recognize the description of the call Mrs. Iverson and anything to you? 304 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,120 Yes. I'd say it did, Sergeant. 305 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Have you tried the apartment next door, Miss King's apartment? 306 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,120 Oh, no, ma'am. Why do you ask that? 307 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,120 Yes. I'm almost sure of it. 308 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,120 Ma'am? 309 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,120 I've seen a man who looks like this, and then there's several times. 310 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,120 You are listening to Dragnet, authentic stories of your police force in action. 311 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Millions heard it, yet only 52 have written. 312 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Starting on Dragnet over two months ago, on September 20th to be exact, Fatima made a special money-back offer to more than 10 million listeners. 313 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:21,120 The results? Amazing. Millions heard it, yet only 52 have written. 314 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,120 If you smoke King-sized cigarettes, listen to Fatima's famous offer. 315 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:32,120 Buy a pack of Fatimas. Enjoy their extra mildness and superbly blended tobacco. 316 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,120 If you're not convinced Fatima is better than the King-sized cigarette you're now smoking, 317 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:45,120 just return the pack and the unsmoked Fatimas before January 1st, and we'll give you your money-back plus postage. 318 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,120 Fatima, Box 37, New York 1. 319 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:57,120 Fatima's latest sales report shows Fatima sales up in every state in America. 320 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:05,120 On the month of October, coast to coast, actual figures show Fatima sales up 110 percent, or more than double. 321 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:11,120 Yes, thousands and thousands of Americans are switching to King-sized Fatima. 322 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,120 So why wait? Switch to Fatima today. Extra mild. 323 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,120 Best of all, King-sized cigarettes. 324 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:35,120 March 16th, Tuesday, 2.48 p.m. Ben and I went next door to the apartment where a man answering the description of the jewelry store bandit reportedly had been seen several times. 325 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:43,120 We rang, but there was no answer. We went back and checked with the manager of the building who told us that the apartment was registered to a Miss Lenore King. 326 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:50,120 He told us that as far as he knew, Miss King worked during the day and that she usually returned to her apartment between seven and eight o'clock at night. 327 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,120 The manager gave us the address of the place she worked and we checked it out. 328 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,120 It was an exclusive gift shop on La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. 329 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,120 We located Lenore King back at the main packing desk where she was employed as a gift wrapper. 330 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:11,120 When we put the question to her that a man answering the description of the jewelry store bandit had been seen visiting her, she readily admitted it. 331 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:17,120 Yes, that's right. I'd say he looks just like that. He drops by my apartment four or five times a month. His name's Marty. 332 00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:19,120 What's his last name, Miss King? Where can we find him? 333 00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:23,120 I'm sorry, I never did know his last name. I'm afraid I don't know where you can find him either. 334 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,120 Well, how's that, Miss King? He visits you quite a bit. He's a friend of yours, isn't he? 335 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:30,120 Not exactly. I know him. That's about all. He's a friend of a friend. It's more like that. 336 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,120 Uh-huh. 337 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,120 Excuse me. 338 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:34,120 Sure. 339 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:38,120 I'm sorry. This package has a rush on it. I'll have to wrap it now. Do you mind? 340 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:42,120 No, you go right ahead. 341 00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,120 About this man, Marty, Miss King, you mind explaining a little more? 342 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,120 If you don't know him well, why should he visit you so often? 343 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,120 Well, to tell you the truth, it's more of a favor than anything. 344 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,120 Through Virginia, she's my girlfriend. 345 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,120 Uh-huh. 346 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,120 And I wish I never got mixed up in it to begin with. 347 00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:58,120 Well, how do you mean mixed up in what? 348 00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,120 Well, it's confidential, Sergeant. I just as soon as I mentioned it, if you don't mind. 349 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:05,120 Well, I'd like to have you tell us everything you know about it. It's a pretty important matter, ma'am. 350 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:09,120 I don't know really how it started. I mean, how the two of them got together, Marty and Virginia. 351 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:13,120 They just met, I suppose. Virginia fell in love with him. She had to find some way out. 352 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,120 How's that? 353 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:20,120 Virginia, she was crazy about Marty. I guess she still is. They didn't want to get all involved, but neither one of them. 354 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:24,120 Tremantic in a way. Could I have a minute there, Sergeant? 355 00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,120 Yes, here you go. 356 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:31,120 Well, two of them want us to see each other once a week. It's enough for Virginia, she says. She loves him. That's all that counts. 357 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:36,120 She doesn't want to know where Marty lives, what he does, anything about him. I guess the same goes for Marty. 358 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:39,120 I see. So the two of them get in touch with each other through you, is that it? 359 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,120 That's right. Usually once a week, maybe once every two weeks. 360 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,120 It's just as soon as I talk about it, if you don't mind, though. I can give you Virginia's address. 361 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,120 She can tell you more about Marty than I can. 362 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:50,120 You have no idea where we can locate the man, son. 363 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:55,120 I'm sorry, none at all. The only contact I have is when Marty phones me or when he comes around. 364 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:59,120 He leaves a message for Virginia where to meet him and when, and then he leaves. 365 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,120 I really think you ought to talk to Virginia about it. 366 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,120 Uh-huh. 367 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,120 Here we are. 368 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,120 One thing I don't quite understand, ma'am. 369 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,120 Yes? 370 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,120 This girlfriend of yours, Virginia, you say she's in love with this fellow Marty? 371 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:12,120 Oh, yeah, crazy about him. 372 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:16,120 Then why are they playing this hide and seek? If they're in love, why don't they come out and get married? What's the problem? 373 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,120 Virginia. 374 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,120 What? 375 00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,120 She's already married. 376 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:25,120 Before we left Lamar King, we advised her what the situation was. 377 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:30,120 In the event the suspect Marty contacted her, she was to get in touch with us immediately. 378 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:33,120 She gave us her promise that she wouldn't disclose our conversation with her. 379 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:42,120 We left her our card and she gave us the address of her girlfriend, Virginia Brewer, who was a South Argyle Street address, but Mrs. Brewer wasn't at home. 380 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:49,120 8.15 p.m. We drove to a place of employment, a valley nightclub out along Ventura Boulevard where she was appearing in the floor show. 381 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:53,120 She was a dancer. We located her backstage waiting to go on. 382 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,120 You must have some other girl in mind, officer. I don't know anyone by the name of Marty. 383 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,120 You sure about that, Miss Brewer? We got it from a pretty good source. 384 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:05,120 Well, I'm sure. I don't know where you got it, but it's wrong. The name isn't familiar at all. Who told you this anyway? 385 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,120 Close friend of yours, ma'am. She seemed to know what she was talking about. 386 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,120 Well, why would I got a right to know that? 387 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:10,120 Lamar King? 388 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,120 Lamar? How could she tell you a story like that? 389 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,120 We wouldn't know, ma'am. Unless it's the truth. 390 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:19,120 Of course it's not the truth. I don't know any, Marty. I don't even know what this is all about. 391 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:24,120 She says you know the man, Mrs. Brewer. She says you're in love with him. She seemed to have all the details. 392 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,120 Now, is there any good reason why she'd tell lies about you? 393 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,120 I don't know. You believe what she told you? 394 00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,120 Yes, ma'am, we do. Unless you can prove it's a lie. 395 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,120 I'm sorry. That's my introduction. I have to go off. 396 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:49,120 All right, ma'am. We're away. 397 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:28,120 Thank you. Thank you. 398 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,120 Just a minute. We have to take another bow. 399 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,120 Yeah, go ahead. 400 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:41,120 Thank you. Have a good time. 401 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:45,120 You want to come back here after? We can talk there. 402 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,120 All right, be fine. 403 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,120 In here. 404 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,120 Thank you. 405 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:59,120 Well, I will do at any point in trying to cover it over. Only one thing I'd like to ask you. 406 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:01,120 Yes, ma'am? 407 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:09,120 My husband doesn't have to know, does he? I mean, whatever there is to this, you don't have to tell the papers, do you? You can keep it quiet. 408 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,120 Whatever you tell us will be strictly confidential, ma'am. 409 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:18,120 All right. I know Marty. I've known him for six months. I know I wasn't lying. I'm in love with him. 410 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:24,120 Well, we're not prying into your personal life, Mrs. Brewer. We'd just like to locate this man, Marty. That's all. It's pretty important to us. 411 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:26,120 Why is it important? Why do you want him? 412 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:30,120 Robbery investigation, ma'am. We'd like to get a hold of him for an interview. 413 00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:34,120 Robbery? Think Marty's done something? Is that why you want him? 414 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,120 We're not sure. Do you have any idea where we can find him? 415 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:42,120 No. I'm working on the North. I guess she told you about it. I mean, Marty and I, how it's been. 416 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:44,120 You have no idea where he stays, where he works? 417 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:49,120 No, I don't. I've been that way from the beginning. Well, no one knows as much about that as I do. 418 00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:54,120 Only one way I can get in touch with him, that's when he leaves a message at the North, or I leave a message. 419 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:58,120 We first met, Marty and I, and that's the way we both wanted it. 420 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:03,120 He didn't want to get all involved. Because of my husband. I didn't either. 421 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:05,120 Have you seen this Marty lately, Mrs. Brewer? 422 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,120 Yes, about ten days ago. 423 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,120 You expect to see him again soon? 424 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:13,120 Well, I don't know. I suppose so. He'll leave a message with the North if he wants me. That's all. I can go on. 425 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,120 Could you leave a message for him with the North? 426 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:18,120 Yes, I suppose so. That's the way Lee calls, though. 427 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,120 Mm-hmm. 428 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:23,120 Can't you tell me more about it, Sergeant? Why do you want him? What's it about? 429 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:29,120 We're going to have to ask your cooperation, ma'am. Your friend's a robbery suspect. We think he's a pretty good one. 430 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:30,120 Marty? 431 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:35,120 Yes, ma'am. Now, the next time he contacts you, the next time he sets up a date with you, we'd like to know where, we'd like to know when. 432 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:38,120 You think he's guilty? You really think he's done something? 433 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,120 Well, he's a suspect, ma'am. That's all we know. 434 00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:45,120 I guess you'll know I told you. I love him. Love him more than anyone. It won't make any difference. 435 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,120 Ma'am? 436 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:51,120 It won't make any difference. I love him. Even if he is guilty, it won't make any difference. 437 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,120 The will to him. 438 00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,120 Eight fifty-five p.m. We continued questioning Virginia Brewer. 439 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:05,120 Before we left, we got her promise that in the event the man known as Marty contacted her, she would notify us immediately. 440 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:12,120 Nine twenty p.m. We checked back in at the office and made arrangements to keep the home of Virginia Brewer under constant surveillance, 441 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,120 as well as the apartment of her girlfriend, Lenore King. 442 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:23,120 The following morning, we checked with a ballistics man at the crime lab who examined the slug which had been taken from the wall of Walter Meyer's jewelry store, 443 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,120 the latest of the holdup man's victims. 444 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:29,120 It was identified as having been fired from a.32 caliber revolver. 445 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,120 The slug was marked and filed as evidence. 446 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:38,120 Thorough examination of the topcoat which the suspect had left behind at his last holdup failed to yield any new leads. 447 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:43,120 The jewel trays at the store which had been held up were also checked for fingerprints. 448 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:48,120 A week passed. No sign of the jewel thief. Wednesday, March 24. 449 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,120 I'll grab it. 450 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,120 All right. 451 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,120 Robber in a Merrill. 452 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:54,120 Oh yes, yes ma'am. 453 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,120 Well when was that? 454 00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,120 All right. 455 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,120 Fine, yes ma'am.
