09:20.520 --> 09:21.520 No, not right now. 09:21.520 --> 09:22.520 Just find him fast. 09:22.520 --> 09:23.520 Well, you know he's in town. 09:23.520 --> 09:24.520 Figure he's gonna stay here? 09:24.520 --> 09:27.520 I don't think he's got much choice. 09:27.520 --> 09:28.520 We figure he's broke, he's hot, none of his friends will take a chance on putting him up. 09:28.520 --> 09:29.520 He's gonna need money. 09:29.520 --> 09:32.520 Better cover the bus depots, train depots, alert the airport detail. 09:32.520 --> 09:34.520 Get a couple hundred mugs printed up on him. 09:34.520 --> 09:36.520 Distribute them to the beat men in radio cars. 09:36.520 --> 09:38.520 Contact Captain Hamilton. 09:38.520 --> 09:40.520 The intelligence, he might be able to come up with something. 09:40.520 --> 09:42.520 Our informant said he could turn Bentley for us in a week. 09:42.520 --> 09:43.520 Week's a long time, Joe. 09:43.520 --> 09:44.520 I know. 09:44.520 --> 09:45.520 You've covered all his hangouts? 09:45.520 --> 09:46.520 All of them. 09:46.520 --> 09:47.520 Nobody's seen him in a couple of days. 09:47.520 --> 09:48.520 He seemed to drop out of sight. 09:48.520 --> 09:49.520 Big town, a lot of people. 09:49.520 --> 09:52.520 Sometimes you don't realize how big till you start looking for one man. 09:52.520 --> 09:53.520 Yeah. 09:53.520 --> 09:57.520 Want to get in touch with the boys in the press room, give in the story, see if they'll carry Bull's picture. 09:57.520 --> 09:59.520 See Jack Ricketts, he'll put the picture on Suspects One. 09:59.520 --> 10:00.520 We'll get started on it right now. 10:00.520 --> 10:02.520 You got a silent number, haven't you, Frank? 10:02.520 --> 10:03.520 Yeah, it's on listing. 10:03.520 --> 10:04.520 How'd Bentley get it? 10:04.520 --> 10:05.520 Had it come from somewhere. 10:05.520 --> 10:06.520 Joe and I were talking about that. 10:06.520 --> 10:10.520 You know, pretty much who we could give the numbers out to, about the only one we can figure to be in a position to give it to Bentley is Harry McCloud. 10:10.520 --> 10:11.520 Your informant? 10:11.520 --> 10:12.520 Yeah. 10:12.520 --> 10:13.520 How long since you've heard from this McCloud? 10:13.520 --> 10:14.520 Couple of days. 10:14.520 --> 10:16.520 Figure maybe he'd cross you, throw in with Bentley? 10:16.520 --> 10:18.520 That's possible, I don't think so, though. 10:18.520 --> 10:19.520 He's leveled with us so far. 10:19.520 --> 10:23.520 The number had to come from someplace. 10:23.520 --> 10:24.520 Yeah, well that sure makes it look like McCloud, doesn't it? 10:24.520 --> 10:25.520 I don't think Mac would give the number away on his own. 10:25.520 --> 10:26.520 Bull could get it. 10:26.520 --> 10:27.520 We got 32 people to prove it. 10:27.520 --> 10:29.520 Oh, we better get on this thing. 10:29.520 --> 10:30.520 Come on, Frank. 10:30.520 --> 10:31.520 Right. 10:31.520 --> 10:32.520 Check you later, Skipper. 10:32.520 --> 10:37.520 Joe, I don't know what I'm going to do. 10:37.520 --> 10:39.520 Well, don't worry, we'll get to it. 10:39.520 --> 10:41.520 No, I mean this two-bit thief calling Faye threatening her. 10:41.520 --> 10:43.520 Try to take it easy, I know you feel. 10:43.520 --> 10:44.520 Why me, Joe? 10:44.520 --> 10:46.520 Bull Bentley's brushed up against a hundred different cops in his day. 10:46.520 --> 10:47.520 Why me? 10:47.520 --> 10:49.520 Well, all the averages, I guess, you were handy. 10:49.520 --> 10:50.520 I knew just what to do. 10:50.520 --> 10:51.520 Skipper gave you a choice. 10:51.520 --> 10:53.520 If you'd like to go home, nobody'd blame you. 10:53.520 --> 10:54.520 You don't know what it is, Joe. 10:54.520 --> 10:55.520 You don't have a family. 10:55.520 --> 10:56.520 Something like this can split you in two. 10:56.520 --> 11:00.520 Half of you wants to be on the job, the other half is pulling you toward home. 11:00.520 --> 11:03.520 Joe, if that cheap punk steps to my front porch, I'm going to lean on him hard. 11:03.520 --> 11:05.520 Look, Frank, this isn't going to get us any place. 11:05.520 --> 11:07.520 Let's get over to the photo lab and get this thing moving, huh? 11:07.520 --> 11:08.520 I could just figure it. 11:08.520 --> 11:11.520 Four thousand guys in the department and Bentley has to pick me. 11:11.520 --> 11:12.520 Joe, why me? 11:12.520 --> 11:14.520 All right, look, Frank. 11:14.520 --> 11:19.520 I could try to spell it for you a hundred ways and we still wouldn't come out with any kind of a total. 11:19.520 --> 11:21.520 I know what you must be going through and I'm sorry it's got to be you. 11:21.520 --> 11:23.520 I'm sorry it has to be any cop. 11:23.520 --> 11:27.520 You're right about me not having a family, but it's squeezing me just as hard as it is you. 11:27.520 --> 11:31.520 You and I both knew when we filled out those application blanks what we were taking on. 11:31.520 --> 11:32.520 The job, Frank. 11:32.520 --> 11:35.520 Maybe I never told you before or maybe you've been through this too, I don't know. 11:35.520 --> 11:40.520 There isn't a day goes by that I'm on the job here, that I don't run into something that breaks my heart. 11:40.520 --> 11:45.520 Why did Ed Wilson have to get shot down when he and his partner tried to take that guy out of that roaming house over on 8th Street? 11:45.520 --> 11:48.520 Why did Olson and his partner have to end up in the PNF ward last week? 11:48.520 --> 11:51.520 Why do you have to run the gamut of every human emotion class of people on earth? 11:51.520 --> 11:53.520 Poor to rich, it's all the same. 11:53.520 --> 11:58.520 Somebody picks up a gun to knock over the corner of the gas station, everything hangs in the balance. 11:58.520 --> 12:05.520 The minute that thief slips a cartridge into his gun, the gas station attendant, his family, his kids, and every relative he's got slides right onto the short end. 12:05.520 --> 12:12.520 Everybody seems to think that wherever crime is concerned, they never get any closer to it than the front page of the morning paper. 12:12.520 --> 12:19.520 I know you know this, Frank, for every attempted crime, God only knows how many innocent people are thrown into the balance even before the crime's been committed. 12:19.520 --> 12:21.520 That's the way it is, Frank. 12:21.520 --> 12:25.520 I'm not trying to tell you anything you don't know, but the minute you passed that exam, 12:25.520 --> 12:30.520 you had to make a book that something like this could contaminate you just as surely as if you weren't a cop. 12:30.520 --> 12:32.520 I guess it's almost a legacy. 12:32.520 --> 12:35.520 Nobody's found a vaccine for crime, nobody's immune. 12:35.520 --> 12:38.520 It's worse with you and me because we know better than to think we can't be touched. 12:38.520 --> 12:44.520 We know we can. We invite it every time we roll on a call, every time we pick somebody up, every time a guy gets out of line. 12:44.520 --> 12:46.520 It's a job, Frank. 12:46.520 --> 12:49.520 I didn't mean to give you an academy lecture, but if it's any comfort, I'm with you. 12:49.520 --> 12:53.520 I know just how you feel and so do 4,000 other guys right down here. 12:53.520 --> 12:55.520 Yeah. 12:55.520 --> 12:57.520 I guess maybe we better get moving, huh? 12:57.520 --> 13:02.520 Yeah, come on. 13:02.520 --> 13:06.520 We took the mugshot of Bentley to the photo lab and asked them to run off 200 copies. 13:06.520 --> 13:10.520 We checked with the reporters in the press room and they promised us full cooperation. 13:10.520 --> 13:13.520 Jack Ricketts told us that he'd put the picture on the air the next day. 13:13.520 --> 13:17.520 Frank called home and found that there had been no further calls from Bentley. 13:17.520 --> 13:21.520 6.17 p.m. We started to look for Harry McCloud, our informant. 13:21.520 --> 13:24.520 We checked his hotel, but the clerk told us he hadn't been in all afternoon. 13:24.520 --> 13:27.520 We started checking his known hangout. 13:27.520 --> 13:30.520 In fear of burning McCloud, we were unable to ask for him by name, 13:30.520 --> 13:34.520 which made it necessary for us to canvas each individual place. 13:34.520 --> 13:39.520 9.28 p.m. We located McCloud in a small bar that was known to be frequented by thieves. 13:39.520 --> 13:43.520 We walked over to the bar and sat down next to him. We ordered a drink. 13:43.520 --> 13:46.520 At the first opportunity, without arousing suspicion, we told McCloud we wanted to talk to him 13:46.520 --> 13:49.520 and that we'd meet him down the street, two blocks west. 13:49.520 --> 13:52.520 We left the bar, got in the car, and drove to the meeting place. 13:52.520 --> 13:57.520 20 minutes later, McCloud arrived, got in the back seat, and we drove away. 13:57.520 --> 13:59.520 Want to get the radio, Joe? Yeah. 13:59.520 --> 14:01.520 What's the matter with you guys? I told you I'd get in touch with him. 14:01.520 --> 14:03.520 I had something for you. You trying to get me burned? 14:03.520 --> 14:05.520 Take it easy, Mac. There's a couple things we want to know. 14:05.520 --> 14:08.520 I'm on your side. You guys know that. I've always leveled with you, haven't I? 14:08.520 --> 14:10.520 Yeah. Well, then what's this bit? 14:10.520 --> 14:13.520 You walk into that joint, you know what goes on in there, and you pull me out. 14:13.520 --> 14:15.520 Good chance somebody could have seen you, you know. Yeah, we know, Mac. 14:15.520 --> 14:18.520 Have you seen Bentley? No, I told you I'd let you know when I turned him. 14:18.520 --> 14:20.520 Now, don't slow us, Mac. This is important. Have you seen him? 14:20.520 --> 14:22.520 If I saw him, I'd have called you. You know that, don't you? 14:22.520 --> 14:24.520 I'd have called you guys. I told you once I'd finger him for you. 14:24.520 --> 14:27.520 I haven't called. I haven't seen him. It's that simple. 14:27.520 --> 14:29.520 What's the big rush about getting Bentley, anyway? 14:29.520 --> 14:32.520 He ain't going nowhere. Now, look, Mac, we got a personal interest in this thing. 14:32.520 --> 14:35.520 This isn't just robbery. Bull's been calling Frank's wife saying he was going to kill her and the kid. 14:35.520 --> 14:37.520 You know he'd do it. Now, how about it? 14:37.520 --> 14:39.520 I didn't know it was like that. Bull was mean enough to do it. 14:39.520 --> 14:42.520 Well, that's how it is. Now, I'll ask you once more, have you seen him? 14:42.520 --> 14:44.520 Yeah. When? 14:44.520 --> 14:46.520 Day before yesterday, Sunday morning. Saw him down, Marty. 14:46.520 --> 14:48.520 How come you didn't call us? I couldn't. Honest, I couldn't. 14:48.520 --> 14:50.520 He came in and asked me for some dough. I told him I didn't have any. 14:50.520 --> 14:52.520 I tried to stall him till I could get to a phone. Yeah? 14:52.520 --> 14:55.520 Didn't work. He wouldn't wait. Got mad when I couldn't help him out. 14:55.520 --> 14:58.520 You see anything about him, eat? Just said he'd get in touch with me. 14:58.520 --> 15:00.520 He was real sore when I couldn't let him have any dough. 15:00.520 --> 15:03.520 But I told him, I said, look, Bull, you know I want to help, but I just haven't got it. 15:03.520 --> 15:05.520 That's what I said. Yeah? 15:05.520 --> 15:07.520 Wasn't kidding, either. Things have been pretty rough. 15:07.520 --> 15:09.520 Say, you guys couldn't see away clear, could you? 15:09.520 --> 15:11.520 Sawbuck to tide me over? 15:11.520 --> 15:13.520 You got me at the wrong time, Mac. I'm tapping. 15:13.520 --> 15:18.520 What about you, Smith? If you got a habit, I got ten bucks I've been saving for a pair of shoes. I sure appreciate it. 15:18.520 --> 15:20.520 You guys know that. Yeah, we know. 15:20.520 --> 15:22.520 You got any idea how Bull might have gotten Frank's home phone? 15:22.520 --> 15:24.520 No, not the slightest. You sure you didn't give it to him? 15:24.520 --> 15:28.520 Joe, you've known me for a lot of years. Would I do a thing like that after the way you guys treated me? 15:28.520 --> 15:30.520 That's what we're trying to find out, Mac. 15:30.520 --> 15:32.520 I should get a little insulted at that. You guys figuring out about me. 15:32.520 --> 15:34.520 Oh, now come off it, Mac. Did you give him the number? 15:34.520 --> 15:36.520 No, I swear to you I didn't. All right. 15:36.520 --> 15:38.520 You got any ideas where Bull might be hiding? 15:38.520 --> 15:41.520 Not in particular. Check usual places. Yeah, we looked through them all. 15:41.520 --> 15:44.520 And you know as much as I do. He did say he looked me up in a couple of days. 15:44.520 --> 15:46.520 You see where he was going when he left you? 15:46.520 --> 15:48.520 No, just walked out of Marty's. I saw a friend of his yesterday, though. 15:48.520 --> 15:51.520 Yeah? Guy said he'd seen Bull Sunday night. 15:51.520 --> 15:55.520 Say what he wanted? Money. Said he'd try to tap him for some dough to get out of town. 15:55.520 --> 15:58.520 His friend help him? He didn't give him any money. He gave him something else, though. 15:58.520 --> 16:00.520 Yeah? He gave him a gun. 16:00.520 --> 16:04.520 You are listening to Dragnet, authentic stories of your police force in action. 16:04.520 --> 16:11.520 Chesterfield is the first and only cigarette in America to give you premium quality in both regular and king size. 16:11.520 --> 16:15.520 Justice Chesterfield is the first and only cigarette to tell you what it's made of. 16:15.520 --> 16:19.520 Yes, Chesterfield names all its ingredients. 16:19.520 --> 16:21.520 But you know what? 16:21.520 --> 16:26.080 The only thing that's made of Chesterfield is the 16:26.080 --> 16:31.080 smoke that's made of Chesterfield. 16:31.080 --> 16:35.080 So you'll know what gives you the best possible smoke. 16:35.080 --> 16:42.080 The world's best tobaccos, pretested by laboratory instruments for the most desirable smoking qualities. 16:42.080 --> 16:48.080 Pure, costly moisten agents. Costly glycerol and pure sugars, which are natural to tobacco. 16:48.080 --> 16:53.080 And cigarette paper of the highest purity, the best that money can buy. 16:53.080 --> 16:55.080 That's what's in your Chesterfield. 16:55.080 --> 16:59.080 Ingredients that give you the best possible smoke. 16:59.080 --> 17:02.080 Much milder, with an extraordinarily good taste. 17:02.080 --> 17:08.080 And as confirmed by a well-known research organization, no unpleasant aftertaste. 17:08.080 --> 17:14.080 So sound off for Chesterfield. Either way you like them, regular or king size, 17:14.080 --> 17:18.080 Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. 17:18.080 --> 17:28.080 Before we left Mac, he furnished us with the name of the man who'd given the gun to Bull Bentley. 17:28.080 --> 17:32.080 We recognized the name Dave Slater as a small-time hoodlum who'd do anything to make a dollar 17:32.080 --> 17:35.080 as long as he himself was reasonably safe in doing it. 17:35.080 --> 17:38.080 Mac told us of several places where we might find him. 17:38.080 --> 17:41.080 The most likely place was a pool room on North Main Street. 17:41.080 --> 17:46.080 Slater had numerous arrests, most of them for being drunk and for acting as a lookout for gambling games. 17:46.080 --> 17:51.080 He was a type of thief that can be found in every large city, always on the fringe of criminal operations, 17:51.080 --> 17:54.080 but never directly involved in the crime itself. 17:54.080 --> 17:58.080 We checked several of the places Mac told us about, but we couldn't come up with Slater. 17:58.080 --> 18:02.080 We checked the pool room. The manager was evasive and at first appeared reluctant to talk. 18:02.080 --> 18:05.080 We informed him that we knew Slater would be back and that we'd wait for him. 18:05.080 --> 18:07.080 The manager asked us to come to the back room with him. 18:07.080 --> 18:11.080 He told us that Slater had said that he was going down to the all-night hamburger stand on the corner 18:11.080 --> 18:15.080 to get something to eat. We found Slater sitting at the counter. 18:15.080 --> 18:18.080 Call it a string of hamburger, all I can see is a bun. 18:18.080 --> 18:22.080 I'd be ashamed to sell a thing like this lousy deal 35 cents for nothing. 18:22.080 --> 18:23.080 Slater? 18:23.080 --> 18:24.080 Yeah, well, something you want? 18:24.080 --> 18:26.080 Police officers, Slater, we want to talk to you. 18:26.080 --> 18:27.080 What about? 18:27.080 --> 18:28.080 Bull Bentley. 18:28.080 --> 18:29.080 Bentley? Never heard of him. 18:29.080 --> 18:31.080 We got information you do know him pretty well. 18:31.080 --> 18:34.080 Yeah? You tell your pigeon he's lying, I never heard of the guy. Now let me finish eating. 18:34.080 --> 18:37.080 We want to talk to you, Slater. You want to make it here or would you rather go downtown? 18:37.080 --> 18:42.080 Can't you see I'm eating? Now let me finish. I got nothing to tell you. I don't know any Bull Bentley. Now lay off, huh? 18:42.080 --> 18:45.080 Come on, you can think better than an empty stomach, Slater. Let's go. 18:48.080 --> 18:51.080 Frank and I took Slater out of the restaurant and put him in the car. 18:51.080 --> 18:54.080 Once he was in custody, his attitude changed completely. 18:54.080 --> 18:57.080 He said he wanted to help us but that he didn't know Bull Bentley. 18:57.080 --> 19:00.080 10-44. We got back to the city hall. 19:03.080 --> 19:06.080 I want to stop by the office, Joe. Call Holmhart. I'll be in the interrogation room. 19:06.080 --> 19:07.080 Let me tell him to skip in. 19:07.080 --> 19:08.080 Yeah. 19:08.080 --> 19:09.080 Ten years later. 19:09.080 --> 19:12.080 Yeah. 19:12.080 --> 19:15.080 Sit down. 19:15.080 --> 19:18.080 Sure. 19:18.080 --> 19:21.080 Look, I told you I want to help you guys out but I'm a... I don't know anything. 19:21.080 --> 19:22.080 If I did, I'd let you know. 19:22.080 --> 19:24.080 All right, come off it, Slater. Where's Bentley? 19:24.080 --> 19:27.080 Look, I keep telling you, I don't know any Bentley. 19:27.080 --> 19:28.080 Where are you living now? 19:28.080 --> 19:29.080 Solly Hotel, West Fifth. 19:29.080 --> 19:30.080 How long you been there? 19:30.080 --> 19:31.080 Couple of days. 19:31.080 --> 19:32.080 Working now? 19:32.080 --> 19:35.080 Yeah, a little. Odd job now and then. You know, nothing steady. 19:35.080 --> 19:37.080 What do you call an odd job, Slater? 19:37.080 --> 19:40.080 Well, you know, sweep out the pool room, rack the balls for him. 19:40.080 --> 19:43.080 Yeah, sure. Now look, we've known you for eight years. You never worked a day in that time. 19:43.080 --> 19:47.080 Now how about Bentley? We got a personal interest in him. We want him. We want him bad. 19:47.080 --> 19:50.080 Look, I tell you, I don't know any Bentley. 19:52.080 --> 19:53.080 Anything new? 19:53.080 --> 19:57.080 Yeah, Joe. He called a couple more times tonight. Last time at 10-30, he scared Fay half to death. 19:57.080 --> 19:59.080 Said he knew Mike was home. He knew we were looking for him. 19:59.080 --> 20:01.080 That if we don't stop, it'll get to the kids. 20:01.080 --> 20:04.080 Said it didn't matter how many cops we had around the house, he'd get to them. 20:04.080 --> 20:06.080 He's almost hysterical. Donald called the doctor. 20:06.080 --> 20:08.080 How about Slater? Did he come up with anything? 20:08.080 --> 20:10.080 No. Donald says he doesn't know him. 20:10.080 --> 20:12.080 Doesn't know him, huh? 20:12.080 --> 20:14.080 Listen, punk, let you and me get straightened out. 20:14.080 --> 20:17.080 What happens to me is one thing. What happens to my family is another. 20:17.080 --> 20:20.080 They don't pay me enough money to jeopardize my family. Now you get this straight. 20:20.080 --> 20:23.080 When punks like you and your trigger-happy friends can threaten my family, 20:23.080 --> 20:25.080 then something's got to give and it's not gonna be me. 20:25.080 --> 20:26.080 Yeah, but I told you... 20:26.080 --> 20:28.080 Look, wipe that silly grin off your face, Slater. 20:28.080 --> 20:30.080 You feel nice and safe there, don't you? 20:30.080 --> 20:32.080 You know, as long as you're in custody, we gotta take care of you. 20:32.080 --> 20:36.080 Well, maybe you'd like to know that if I have to, I'll take this badge off and walk up one side and down the other. 20:36.080 --> 20:38.080 Now, I want to know where Bentley is and I want to know now. 20:38.080 --> 20:40.080 We're not stumbling around in the dark. We know you gave him a gun. 20:40.080 --> 20:42.080 Let me tell you this, mister. Mark it down. 20:42.080 --> 20:45.080 If anything happens to my wife or my kids, you can't run fast enough to get away, 20:45.080 --> 20:46.080 because I'll nail your heart. 20:46.080 --> 20:47.080 All right, thanks. 20:47.080 --> 20:48.080 He's getting pretty tough, isn't he? 20:48.080 --> 20:50.080 I'm just telling you how you stand. Now, come on, where's Bentley? 20:50.080 --> 20:52.080 I told you I don't know Bentley. 20:52.080 --> 20:54.080 All right. Let's get everything out of your pockets. 20:54.080 --> 20:56.080 Get it on the table. 20:57.080 --> 20:59.080 There's nothing much. 20:59.080 --> 21:14.080 Here's a change, keys, and a nail file, address book, my handkerchief, comb, wallet, cigarettes, and matches. 21:14.080 --> 21:15.080 That's all. 21:15.080 --> 21:17.080 I'm going to shake them down, Frank. 21:17.080 --> 21:19.080 Yeah. I told you that's all. Now, what are you looking for? 21:19.080 --> 21:20.080 Stand still. 21:20.080 --> 21:22.080 Now, push your luck, Slater. 21:22.080 --> 21:24.080 It's clean, Joe. 21:24.080 --> 21:25.080 How much money you got in your wallet? 21:25.080 --> 21:27.080 I don't know. Double sawbuck, maybe. 21:27.080 --> 21:29.080 Funny thing, you guys never work, but you always got money. 21:29.080 --> 21:31.080 All right, take the money out and count it, Slater. 21:31.080 --> 21:33.080 Why? What's that going to prove? 21:33.080 --> 21:34.080 Take it out and count it. 21:34.080 --> 21:36.080 All right. 21:36.080 --> 21:46.080 Ten, twenty, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, thirty-seven, another five, forty-two bucks. 21:46.080 --> 21:47.080 I didn't know I had that much. 21:47.080 --> 21:49.080 All right. Put the money in your pocket. 21:49.080 --> 21:51.080 Is that all the money in your wallet? 21:51.080 --> 21:52.080 Yeah, that's it. 21:52.080 --> 21:53.080 Let's see the wallet. 21:53.080 --> 21:54.080 Yeah. 21:54.080 --> 21:56.080 There's nothing in it. A couple of cards, that's all. 21:56.080 --> 22:00.080 Yeah. Let's see here. A couple of pawn tickets. 22:00.080 --> 22:01.080 Picture. Who's the girl? 22:01.080 --> 22:04.080 Babe, I met in Daigle. You don't know her. She's not in the rackets. 22:04.080 --> 22:06.080 Married now. I haven't seen her in a year. 22:06.080 --> 22:07.080 And why are you carrying her picture? 22:07.080 --> 22:10.080 I always kind of liked her. Shit class. Real nice broad. 22:10.080 --> 22:12.080 He said you didn't know a bull, Bentley? 22:12.080 --> 22:13.080 That's what he said. 22:13.080 --> 22:14.080 How about Leroy Bentley? 22:14.080 --> 22:15.080 Nah. 22:15.080 --> 22:16.080 You know anybody at all named Bentley? 22:16.080 --> 22:19.080 Look, I told you I don't know any Bentley. How many times do I have to tell you? 22:19.080 --> 22:20.080 You know anybody by the name of Bull? 22:20.080 --> 22:23.080 I don't know anybody named Bull. I don't know anybody named Bentley. 22:23.080 --> 22:25.080 Yeah. Take a look, Joe. 22:25.080 --> 22:28.080 Hmm. Now maybe you can explain this then. 22:28.080 --> 22:29.080 Yeah, what's that? 22:29.080 --> 22:31.080 Bar tab in your wallet with the name Bull written on it. 22:31.080 --> 22:32.080 How about it, Slater? Who's Bull? 22:32.080 --> 22:36.080 I don't remember that. Probably something I picked up a long time ago. I don't remember it. 22:36.080 --> 22:41.080 Tab's dated March 4th, day before yesterday. Your memory must be getting pretty bad, huh? 22:41.080 --> 22:43.080 I got nothing to say. 22:43.080 --> 22:46.080 Well, Frank, you want to check the business office and see who this number is listed to. 22:46.080 --> 22:47.080 Yeah, Joe. Right away. 22:47.080 --> 22:48.080 All right. All right. 22:48.080 --> 22:53.080 I'm going to tell you something, boy. This is a rotten deal. 22:53.080 --> 22:57.080 The law protects people like you. You're a lion. We know it and you know it, too. 22:57.080 --> 22:59.080 You know Bentley. You know where he is. 22:59.080 --> 23:03.080 What's more, we know you gave him a gun Sunday night. The same date on that tab. 23:03.080 --> 23:08.080 I'll tell you what we're going to do, Slater. You're a real wise guy. You talk fast. 23:08.080 --> 23:11.080 We're going to get Bull. Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, but we'll get him. 23:11.080 --> 23:13.080 And when we do, we're going to tell him that you blew the whistle on him. 23:13.080 --> 23:16.080 We're going to put him in the same cell with you. I'd like to hear you talk your way out of that. 23:16.080 --> 23:18.080 Well, you wouldn't do that. Don't make book on it. 23:18.080 --> 23:19.080 Look, he's a mean guy. He'll kill me. 23:19.080 --> 23:20.080 I thought you didn't know. 23:20.080 --> 23:24.080 All right, so I know. But you wouldn't do that. Would you put me in with him? 23:24.080 --> 23:25.080 Where is he, Slater? 23:25.080 --> 23:26.080 You going to tell him I turned him in? 23:26.080 --> 23:28.080 We're making no deals. Where is he? 23:28.080 --> 23:29.080 I don't know where he is now. 23:29.080 --> 23:31.080 You know where he'll be. 23:31.080 --> 23:35.080 Yeah, I was supposed to meet him there tonight at the bar down at West Seventh. 23:35.080 --> 23:37.080 He's got a friend who works there, feeds him. 23:37.080 --> 23:38.080 He'll be there tonight, huh? 23:38.080 --> 23:41.080 Yeah, I said if I meet him, he'll pay me for the gun. Seventy-five bucks. 23:41.080 --> 23:42.080 What kind of gun is it? 23:42.080 --> 23:44.080 A thirty-eight. A good one, too. Worth more than seven bucks. 23:44.080 --> 23:46.080 But I needed the money. 23:46.080 --> 23:47.080 Why'd you get the gun? 23:47.080 --> 23:50.080 Well, you'll find out anyway. I might as well tell you. 23:50.080 --> 23:52.080 Probably the car found under the seat. 23:52.080 --> 23:54.080 I found out later it belonged to a guy in the vice squad. 23:54.080 --> 23:56.080 Probably real sore about it. 23:56.080 --> 23:59.080 Could be Joe Bond, West Seventh. A place called the Hamilton Inn. 23:59.080 --> 24:01.080 Yeah, that's it. He'll be there. 24:01.080 --> 24:03.080 All right, Slater. Let's go. 24:03.080 --> 24:04.080 Where are you taking me? 24:04.080 --> 24:06.080 You're going to jail. 24:06.080 --> 24:10.080 You know you can't win. I should have known you. 24:10.080 --> 24:12.080 Hey, do me a favor, huh? 24:12.080 --> 24:13.080 What's that? 24:13.080 --> 24:16.080 Talk to the jailer. Make him give me a cell by myself. 24:19.080 --> 24:23.080 We handcuffed Slater to a chair in the robbery office until we got back to booking. 24:23.080 --> 24:28.080 Twelve thirty-two a.m. Frank and I left the city hall for the Hamilton Inn on West Seventh Street. 24:28.080 --> 24:32.080 Slater had told us that he was to meet Bull Bentley between one and one thirty. 24:32.080 --> 24:34.080 When we got there, there were a half a dozen people in the place. 24:34.080 --> 24:37.080 We checked the bar and the men's restroom, but Bentley wasn't around. 24:37.080 --> 24:41.080 We went back to the car, drove down the street to a closed service station 24:41.080 --> 24:45.080 and parked where we could keep both doors of the restaurant under surveillance. 24:45.080 --> 24:50.080 Twelve fifty, one a.m., one fifteen. We waited. One thirty-five. 24:50.080 --> 24:52.080 Joe, is that him? 24:52.080 --> 24:55.080 I don't know. It might be. Let's take a look. 25:05.080 --> 25:07.080 All right, you want to take the side door? I'll try the front. 25:07.080 --> 25:11.080 Right. 25:23.080 --> 25:27.080 I don't see him, Joe. Wait a minute. Is that him? The one in the phone booth back there? 25:27.080 --> 25:31.080 Yeah. Come on. 25:31.080 --> 25:35.080 Come on, get him. 25:38.080 --> 25:40.080 Bentley. Yeah. 25:40.080 --> 26:02.080 Watch it, Joe. 26:02.080 --> 26:06.080 All right, Frank. I'll shake him down. 26:06.080 --> 26:08.080 Who told you? Who blew the whistle? 26:08.080 --> 26:11.080 That bum McCloud, it was him. He was the only one who knew. 26:11.080 --> 26:13.080 Did he give you my telephone number? 26:13.080 --> 26:16.080 Yeah, he did. And he runs to you and cops out. 26:16.080 --> 26:19.080 Should have known better. I'd give him twenty bucks for it. 26:19.080 --> 26:21.080 Now, that's bigger. What do you mean? 26:21.080 --> 26:33.080 We gave him ten, not two. 26:33.080 --> 26:38.080 The story you have just heard was true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. 26:38.080 --> 26:44.080 On June 12th, the hearing was held in the district attorney's office. In a moment, the results of that hearing. 26:44.080 --> 26:46.080 Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. 26:46.080 --> 26:48.080 Thank you, George Fenorman. 26:48.080 --> 26:52.080 Friends, I'd like to talk to you about something that's important to every one of you. 26:52.080 --> 26:57.080 Now, for the first time, you can get a premium quality cigarette in either regular or king size. 26:57.080 --> 26:59.080 Of course, that's Chesterfield. 26:59.080 --> 27:05.080 Both regular and king size Chesterfields are made of the proven ingredients that give you the best possible smoke. 27:05.080 --> 27:11.080 Both are much milder, with an extraordinarily good taste and no unpleasant aftertaste. 27:11.080 --> 27:15.080 Yes, there's no difference between the two, except king size Chesterfield is larger, 27:15.080 --> 27:22.080 contains so much more of the same tobacco, it gives you a 21 percent longer smoke, yet it costs very little more. 27:22.080 --> 27:29.080 So remember, either way you like them, regular or king size, Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. 27:29.080 --> 27:46.080 The Roy W. Bentley was released to the Colorado authorities for prosecution on a charge of murder. A hold was placed on him for the state of California in the event he is paroled. 27:46.080 --> 27:52.080 He was convicted and is now serving a life sentence in the Colorado State Penitentiary without possibility of parole. 27:52.080 --> 28:02.080 Although David R. Slater was guilty of aiding and abetting a felony, a complaint could not be issued due to the fact it could not be proved that Slater knew Bentley was an ex-convict when he gave him the gun. 28:02.080 --> 28:09.080 He was filed on for petty theft in Division 7. He pled guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail. 28:09.080 --> 28:22.080 You have just heard Dragnet, a series of authentic cases from official files. 28:22.080 --> 28:27.080 Technical advice comes from the Office of Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department. 28:27.080 --> 28:32.080 Technical advisors Captain Jack Donahoe, Sergeant Marty Wynn, Sergeant Vance Brasher. 28:32.080 --> 28:43.080 Heard tonight were Herb Ellis, June Whitley, Jack Kruschen. Script by John Robinson. Music by Walter Schuman. Hal Gibney speaking. 28:43.080 --> 28:52.080 These great programs sound off for Chesterfield. Radio. Dragnet, the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis show and every weekday Arthur Godfrey time. 28:52.080 --> 29:00.080 On television. Dragnet, Gang Busters, Arthur Godfrey and his friends and the Perry Como show. 29:00.080 --> 29:10.080 Tomorrow you'll want to sound off for Chesterfield because either way you like them, regular or king size, Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. 29:10.080 --> 29:22.080 Chesterfield has brought you Dragnet. Transcribed from Los Angeles. 29:22.080 --> 29:34.080 This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.
