WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.000 Sound off for Chesterfield. 00:07.000 --> 00:18.000 Chesterfield, the only cigarette in America to give you premium quality in both regular and king size, brings you Dragnet. 00:18.000 --> 00:32.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. 00:32.000 --> 00:52.000 You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned to homicide detail. You receive a call that a fatal accident has occurred at a Hollywood motion picture studio. Your job, investigate. 00:52.000 --> 01:02.000 Here's what a leading tobacco publication in the nation's press have had to say about King Size Chesterfield. 01:02.000 --> 01:12.000 U.S. Tobacco Journal, Atlanta, Georgia. Chesterfield King Size is going strong. One jobber reordered twice this week in addition to his regular order. 01:12.000 --> 01:19.000 And the Herald Tribune reported, King Size is a sellout. Extra supplies of Chesterfield rush to dealers here. 01:19.000 --> 01:27.000 The reason for King Size Chesterfield's amazing success is this. All King Size cigarettes give you quantity. 01:27.000 --> 01:33.000 But only Chesterfield King Size gives you quantity plus quality, premium quality. 01:33.000 --> 01:41.000 That means Chesterfield King Size contains tobaccos of better quality and higher price than any other King Size cigarette. 01:41.000 --> 01:49.000 The same fine tobacco as in regular Chesterfield. Enough more of this tobacco to give you more than a one-fifth longer smoke. 01:49.000 --> 01:57.000 So remember, Chesterfield is the only cigarette to give you premium quality in both regular and King Size. 01:57.000 --> 02:04.000 Buy them either way you like them. Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. Much milder. 02:04.000 --> 02:14.000 Dragnet.

About the accident. Where do we find Mr. Adams? 02:59.000 --> 03:03.000 Oh yeah, I should look for you. Let me see. I saw him around here a minute ago. 03:03.000 --> 03:07.000 Oh, there he is. Over there by that office set. See him in the blue suit? 03:07.000 --> 03:08.000 The one with the gray hair? 03:08.000 --> 03:09.000 Yeah, that's him. 03:09.000 --> 03:10.000 Thank you very much. 03:10.000 --> 03:17.000 I know. You can check with the office. If they can come up with an idea, I'll go for it. All I know is that we've got half this tuckie finished. 03:17.000 --> 03:19.000 Yeah, yeah. Is that all you want? 03:19.000 --> 03:20.000 Yes, you, Gerald Adams? 03:20.000 --> 03:21.000 That's right. 03:21.000 --> 03:22.000 Police officers. 03:22.000 --> 03:23.000 My ID card. 03:23.000 --> 03:25.000 Oh, yeah.

Is that right? 03:35.000 --> 03:38.000 Yeah, yeah. He was the director. At least he thought he was. 03:38.000 --> 03:39.000 I wonder if we could see where the accident happened. 03:39.000 --> 03:43.000 Yeah, sure. We're on Stage 1, just across the way. Hold on a minute, will you? 03:43.000 --> 03:46.000 I'd like to talk to Sam for a minute, try to get things organized here, get things moving. 03:46.000 --> 03:47.000 Yeah, I'll be right back. 03:47.000 --> 03:49.000 Just wait here, I'll be right back. 03:49.000 --> 03:50.000 Quite a place, huh, Joe? 03:50.000 --> 03:52.000 Yeah, a lot of room. It's a big stage in there. 03:52.000 --> 03:56.000 Yeah. You know all this? The average person doesn't stop to think about it. 03:56.000 --> 03:57.000 What's that? 03:57.000 --> 04:00.000 You know, a fella lays out 85 cents to see a movie. 04:00.000 --> 04:03.000 Ever thinks about all the people, all the equipment, goes in to make it impossible. 04:03.000 --> 04:04.000 Yeah. 04:04.000 --> 04:06.000 It's hard to keep you waiting. 04:06.000 --> 04:08.000 Terrible thing, we're 12 days behind schedule now. 04:08.000 --> 04:10.000 This will probably knock a couple more days off. 04:10.000 --> 04:14.000 The exec's gonna scream like an eagle when he sees what this opus has cost him. 04:14.000 --> 04:17.000 We'll hear right through this story. 04:17.000 --> 04:18.000 Right, right. 04:18.000 --> 04:20.000 The one's right over there. 04:20.000 --> 04:22.000 Yes, sir. Wonder if you'd mind filling us in on this thing. 04:22.000 --> 04:24.000 Yeah, sure. What can I do to help? 04:24.000 --> 04:28.000 Well, if you can tell us how the body was found, who found it, how the accident occurred. 04:28.000 --> 04:31.000 Well, as near as I can figure, it must have happened about 12.10, 12.15. 04:31.000 --> 04:33.000 Crew had broken for lunch. 04:33.000 --> 04:35.000 Most of them were over at the commissary. 04:35.000 --> 04:38.000 I came down from the office and wanted to talk to Henry about tomorrow's schedule. 04:38.000 --> 04:41.000 I wanted to try to change some of the shots, you know, make it more simple. 04:41.000 --> 04:44.000 He wasn't in the lunch room, so I went ahead and had lunch. 04:44.000 --> 04:49.000 About, uh, I see, I think it was about 12.40, Al Evans, a greenery man, came in, 04:49.000 --> 04:52.000 told me he'd found Henry's body, a lamp had fallen on him. 04:52.000 --> 04:55.000 Darn fool yelled it so loud that everybody in the place heard him. 04:55.000 --> 04:56.000 I see. 04:56.000 --> 04:57.000 Well, I came right over. 04:57.000 --> 05:00.000 First looked like Henry was dead. He'd lost a lot of blood. 05:00.000 --> 05:02.000 Called his pulse, found out he was still alive. 05:02.000 --> 05:05.000 That's when I had the ambulance called. Here we are. 05:05.000 --> 05:07.000 Good idea. Thank you. 05:08.000 --> 05:10.000 Over here by the house set. Yeah. 05:10.000 --> 05:15.000 At the time those big doors were open, the green men were putting in their shrubbery here. 05:15.000 --> 05:18.000 After I found out about the accident, I had the doors closed 05:18.000 --> 05:20.000 so people wouldn't be roaming in and out. 05:20.000 --> 05:21.000 Are the doors usually left open? 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 Usually are when there's no shooting on the stage. 05:23.000 --> 05:25.000 When we're using it, they're closed. 05:25.000 --> 05:27.000 Now, right here is where he was found. 05:27.000 --> 05:32.000 You can see the lamp, but the sun arc must have hit him right about here. 05:32.000 --> 05:33.000 Poor guy. 05:33.000 --> 05:35.000 Yes, sir. 05:35.000 --> 05:37.000 Is that where the lamp fell from, up there? 05:37.000 --> 05:42.000 Yeah. There you can see on the scaffolding where it was between the babies, his face there. 05:42.000 --> 05:44.000 Who puts the lamps up there? 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 Well, it's in the gaffer's department. He's in charge of them. 05:46.000 --> 05:47.000 What if we could talk to him? 05:47.000 --> 05:49.000 Yeah, sure. He's over on two. I'll call him. 05:49.000 --> 05:50.000 Thank you. 05:52.000 --> 05:53.000 Big lamp, huh? 05:53.000 --> 05:55.000 Yeah. Sure smashed up in it. 05:55.000 --> 05:57.000 Gee, that thing must weigh a couple hundred pounds. 05:57.000 --> 05:59.000 Yeah, look up there. It's quite a drop. 05:59.000 --> 06:02.000 I figure it's about 40 feet up there. What do you think? 06:02.000 --> 06:03.000 Oh, yeah, that anyway. 06:03.000 --> 06:05.000 He's on his way over. 06:05.000 --> 06:07.000 What's your position here, Mr. Adams? 06:07.000 --> 06:10.000 I'm production supervisor, unit manager. A lot of names for it. 06:10.000 --> 06:14.000 I try to take care of the running of the company as far as this one picture is concerned, 06:14.000 --> 06:17.000 make out the budgets, work on the schedule, the director, things like that. 06:17.000 --> 06:18.000 Mm-hmm. 06:18.000 --> 06:21.000 Really hard to say just what my job is, so I do a little of everything. 06:21.000 --> 06:22.000 Yes, sir. 06:22.000 --> 06:23.000 You're false from homicide. 06:23.000 --> 06:25.000 Yes, sir, that's right. 06:25.000 --> 06:27.000 You think that there's something wrong here? 06:27.000 --> 06:29.000 Maybe Henry's accident wasn't an accident or something? 06:29.000 --> 06:33.000 Well, it's just that in any death where there isn't a doctor in attendance at the time of death, 06:33.000 --> 06:35.000 we have to look into it. It's just routine. 06:35.000 --> 06:38.000 I thought for a minute you might think there was something fishy about this. 06:38.000 --> 06:39.000 That's all we need. 06:39.000 --> 06:42.000 Having murder on the set might as well fold up. 06:42.000 --> 06:44.000 Oh, hi, Jerry. You want to see me? 06:44.000 --> 06:46.000 Yeah, Dick, these officers like to ask you a couple of questions. 06:46.000 --> 06:47.000 Sure. 06:47.000 --> 06:50.000 This is Mr. Friday and Mr. Smith. Dick Patterson, our gaffer. 06:50.000 --> 06:51.000 How are you? 06:50.000 --> 06:51.000 Hi, Mr. Patterson. 06:51.000 --> 06:53.000 What do you want to know? 06:53.000 --> 06:57.000 Well, Mr. Adams here tells us that you were in charge of installing those lamps. Is that right? 06:57.000 --> 06:58.000 Yeah, that's right. 06:58.000 --> 07:01.000 Are you trying to say I had anything to do with causing Henry's death? 07:01.000 --> 07:02.000 Oh, no, sir, we didn't say that. 07:02.000 --> 07:03.000 Well, then what are you saying? 07:03.000 --> 07:04.000 Oh, we're just trying to get the facts straight. 07:04.000 --> 07:05.000 No need to get upset, Andy. 07:05.000 --> 07:09.000 Well, what are you talking about? These cops come in here, try to make out I didn't put those lamps in right? 07:09.000 --> 07:11.000 That's not what they said. 07:11.000 --> 07:15.000 Well, don't you think I feel bad enough? Henry was a good friend of mine. We've been together a long time. 07:15.000 --> 07:17.000 I don't know how the lamp got loose. 07:17.000 --> 07:18.000 What if we could look at its mounting? 07:18.000 --> 07:22.000 Sure. I've wanted to get up there anyway, look at it myself. 07:22.000 --> 07:24.000 Jerry here said not to touch anything till you guys got here. 07:24.000 --> 07:26.000 Okay, how do we get up there? 07:26.000 --> 07:28.000 There's a ladder back here at the rear of the stage. 07:28.000 --> 07:29.000 Uh-huh. 07:29.000 --> 07:34.000 I can't understand it, Mr. Friday. I've been hanging lamps here a long time. It's been going on 20 years. 07:34.000 --> 07:36.000 First time anything like this ever happened. 07:36.000 --> 07:38.000 Well, here it is, just go on up. 07:38.000 --> 07:40.000 Okay. 07:40.000 --> 07:42.000 Hey, watch your step. 07:42.000 --> 07:43.000 Hey, go ahead. 07:43.000 --> 07:44.000 Yeah. 07:48.000 --> 07:49.000 Okay. 07:49.000 --> 07:52.000 Yeah. We can get there down this way. 07:55.000 --> 07:57.000 They use these locks to hang the lights on, do they? 07:57.000 --> 08:01.000 Yeah, you gotta be awfully careful, though. Watch your step, it's a long way down. 08:01.000 --> 08:02.000 Yeah. 08:02.000 --> 08:06.000 Once in a while, if you want a real high shot of the scene, we lift the camera up here. 08:06.000 --> 08:08.000 Mostly though, it's used just for lights. 08:08.000 --> 08:09.000 Uh-huh. 08:09.000 --> 08:11.000 Here it is. 08:11.000 --> 08:13.000 Now you can see there where the light was. 08:13.000 --> 08:16.000 Yeah, sir. I'd appreciate it if you didn't touch anything if you could stand back there. 08:16.000 --> 08:17.000 Sure. 08:17.000 --> 08:21.000 Now, base of the lamp went through this hole there, huh? 08:21.000 --> 08:24.000 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, look at the one over there, same way. 08:24.000 --> 08:28.000 Yeah. Do you have anything else securing the lights once they're tied down? 08:28.000 --> 08:31.000 No, sir. Once they're in place, the weight of the thing itself will hold it. 08:31.000 --> 08:36.000 Uh-huh. In other words, you drill this hole and you place the lamp in the hole and it could... 08:36.000 --> 08:38.000 It doesn't look like the wood has chipped, does it? 08:38.000 --> 08:41.000 No, these scaffolds are pretty new. This stage hasn't been up more than a year. 08:41.000 --> 08:43.000 Uh-huh. 08:43.000 --> 08:46.000 Well, from what you can see, Mr. Patterson, can you figure out how the lamp might have fallen? 08:46.000 --> 08:48.000 How it could have broken loose? 08:48.000 --> 08:51.000 I'll tell you, Officer, Bob, that's my best boy. 08:51.000 --> 08:54.000 Bob and I were over here last night checking the lights on the set. 08:54.000 --> 08:57.000 I didn't actually get up here myself, but Bob did. 08:57.000 --> 09:00.000 He's a good boy. He's been around a long time, doesn't make mistakes like this. 09:00.000 --> 09:03.000 He secured this lamp himself and I know it was right. 09:03.000 --> 09:05.000 Well, then, have you got any idea how it might have fallen? 09:05.000 --> 09:07.000 None at all. Matter of fact, I don't think it did. 09:07.000 --> 09:08.000 Sir? 09:08.000 --> 09:10.000 I don't think it did fall. I think it was dropped. 09:10.000 --> 09:13.000 BAND PLAYS 09:15.000 --> 09:18.000 3.15 p.m. Frank and I went back to stage two. 09:18.000 --> 09:21.000 We talked to Bob Murphy, the best boy, and got the same story from him. 09:21.000 --> 09:23.000 He said that he had secured the lamp in position himself 09:23.000 --> 09:26.000 and that as far as he was concerned, it could not have fallen. 09:26.000 --> 09:29.000 He agreed with Dick Patterson that the lamp must have been removed from its place 09:29.000 --> 09:32.000 and either dropped or was thrown at Wilson. 09:32.000 --> 09:36.000 At this point, there was the possibility that the death was not an accident. 09:36.000 --> 09:40.000 We asked the unit manager to assign one of the studio police to guard the scene of the accident 09:40.000 --> 09:42.000 and then we called the crime lab. 09:42.000 --> 09:46.000 Dean Bergman lifted several clean prints from the broken lens of the lamp. 09:46.000 --> 09:50.000 Bob Murphy's fingerprints were taken and they matched those found in the lamp. 09:50.000 --> 09:52.000 There were no other prints on the glass. 09:52.000 --> 09:56.000 The men from the crime lab found a small piece of blue cloth on the mounting of the lamp. 09:56.000 --> 09:59.000 Lee Jones put it in an envelope and gave it to me. 09:59.000 --> 10:03.000 At 4.20 p.m., we talked to Gerald Adams in one of the portable dressing rooms. 10:03.000 --> 10:06.000 I just can't believe it. There were a lot of people in town that didn't like Henry, 10:06.000 --> 10:08.000 but I don't think there was anyone that would kill him. 10:08.000 --> 10:11.000 Was there anyone in the company that he had any disagreements with, would you know? 10:11.000 --> 10:12.000 What do you mean? 10:12.000 --> 10:14.000 Well, anyone he had crawls with, arguments, would you know? 10:14.000 --> 10:17.000 Well, I guess Sam would be the most likely. They argued all the time. 10:17.000 --> 10:18.000 Sam? 10:18.000 --> 10:20.000 Yeah, Sam Phillips. He's the first assistant director. 10:20.000 --> 10:22.000 Real talented guy. Been at it a long time. 10:22.000 --> 10:25.000 He and Henry worked together for a long time. They were always arguing. 10:25.000 --> 10:27.000 I guess if you didn't know him, you might think they were serious, 10:27.000 --> 10:29.000 but here in the company, we all knew. We understood. 10:29.000 --> 10:30.000 Understood what? 10:30.000 --> 10:32.000 Well, Sam's been in Hollywood almost since it was. 10:32.000 --> 10:35.000 He began as a prop man, worked his way up to be a cutter. 10:35.000 --> 10:38.000 Then I guess about 15 years ago, he went into directing. 10:38.000 --> 10:40.000 He's going to get a picture of his own pretty soon. 10:40.000 --> 10:42.000 He'll do well, too. Real talent. 10:42.000 --> 10:45.000 What about these arguments, Mr. Adams, between Wilson and Phillips? 10:45.000 --> 10:47.000 Well, to understand him, you'd have to know Henry. 10:47.000 --> 10:49.000 He was one of the first directors in pictures. 10:49.000 --> 10:51.000 He came out here from New York even before Sam did. 10:51.000 --> 10:55.000 Really old school. He drove special cars, most of them pure white, 10:55.000 --> 10:57.000 had all his clothes designed and made. 10:57.000 --> 10:59.000 He wore a cape while he was on the set, you know. 10:59.000 --> 11:01.000 Referred to himself as Wilson. 11:01.000 --> 11:04.000 You know, Wilson thinks this, Wilson thinks that. 11:04.000 --> 11:06.000 If you didn't know him, you'd take him seriously. 11:06.000 --> 11:08.000 Once you did that, you were in trouble. 11:08.000 --> 11:10.000 Were you ever present when one of these arguments took place? 11:10.000 --> 11:12.000 No, matter of fact, they had one yesterday. 11:12.000 --> 11:13.000 That's all. 11:13.000 --> 11:15.000 Yeah, over in the commissary, I thought for a minute it was going to be pretty serious. 11:15.000 --> 11:18.000 Then I realized it was all a gag, everyone else did, too. 11:18.000 --> 11:19.000 What was it about?

11:40.000 --> 11:42.000 Yeah, I think I know the kind you mean. 11:42.000 --> 11:44.000 Well, the two of them carted this deer down to the parking lot 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 and put it in the back seat of Henry's car. 11:46.000 --> 11:48.000 He planted it so the deer was looking right at Henry 11:48.000 --> 11:50.000 when he'd get in the driver's seat. 11:50.000 --> 11:52.000 The thing weighed about 250 pounds. 11:52.000 --> 11:54.000 Once they got it in, Henry couldn't get it out. 11:54.000 --> 11:56.000 He tried that night, he couldn't make it. 11:56.000 --> 11:58.000 He didn't think it was very funny, did he? 11:58.000 --> 12:00.000 No, he had to leave it in the car all night. 12:00.000 --> 12:01.000 Drove home with it. 12:01.000 --> 12:04.000 Next morning, when he checked in the lot, he tried to get it out again. 12:04.000 --> 12:07.000 While he was trying, the horns on the thing tore up the upholstery in his car, 12:07.000 --> 12:09.000 really ripped it up to pieces. 12:09.000 --> 12:10.000 Oh, I'll be darned. 12:10.000 --> 12:12.000 Finally, Henry got a hammer and broke the thing up, 12:12.000 --> 12:14.000 smashed it in little pieces and threw them all out of the car, 12:14.000 --> 12:16.000 left them right in front of the scene doc. 12:16.000 --> 12:18.000 Yeah, was that when he and Phillips had the argument? 12:18.000 --> 12:21.000 No, no, yesterday morning when Wilson got on the set, 12:21.000 --> 12:23.000 he wasn't saying anything to anybody. 12:23.000 --> 12:26.000 All the crew knew about the deer and they were all waiting for him 12:26.000 --> 12:28.000 to say something about it, but he didn't. 12:28.000 --> 12:30.000 He just drove the crew through the morning set-ups. 12:30.000 --> 12:32.000 The argument took place at lunchtime. 12:32.000 --> 12:33.000 Yeah. 12:33.000 --> 12:35.000 Henry waited until the whole crew was having lunch 12:35.000 --> 12:37.000 and stormed into the cafe, walked over to Sam, 12:37.000 --> 12:39.000 really read him off, called him a child. 12:39.000 --> 12:41.000 He said that if he'd spend a little more time doing his work 12:41.000 --> 12:43.000 and less time playing around, 12:43.000 --> 12:45.000 the picture wouldn't be so far over scheduled. 12:45.000 --> 12:46.000 Really made him look like a fool. 12:46.000 --> 12:48.000 The argument went on for about 15 minutes. 12:48.000 --> 12:49.000 What was Sam doing all this time? 12:49.000 --> 12:52.000 Well, he just sat there and then finally he got up and grabbed Henry. 12:52.000 --> 12:53.000 Kind of shook him. 12:53.000 --> 12:55.000 Said he'd never been talked to like that before 12:55.000 --> 12:57.000 and it wasn't going to happen again. 12:57.000 --> 12:59.000 Said he'd kill Henry next time he did it. 12:59.000 --> 13:00.000 Mm-hmm. 13:00.000 --> 13:01.000 Well, Henry looked pretty scared. 13:01.000 --> 13:03.000 Sam's a big man, you know. 13:03.000 --> 13:05.000 I think if he made up his mind to do it, 13:05.000 --> 13:07.000 he could have broken Henry in two. 13:07.000 --> 13:10.000 Sam looked at Henry for a minute and then he laughed. 13:10.000 --> 13:12.000 Then Henry started to laugh too and then the whole place. 13:12.000 --> 13:14.000 I guess it's like laughing at a horror picture. 13:14.000 --> 13:15.000 Anything to break the tension. 13:15.000 --> 13:17.000 Looked real tight. 13:17.000 --> 13:19.000 Even I wasn't sure it was a joke, you know. 13:19.000 --> 13:21.000 You said that Sam lifted this deer into the car by himself. 13:21.000 --> 13:23.000 Well, I don't know if he did it by himself, 13:23.000 --> 13:25.000 but I know he could lift it without help. 13:25.000 --> 13:27.000 How much did you say that that deer weighed?
