04:39.880 --> 04:40.880 You know? 04:40.880 --> 04:41.880 Wasn't enough money. 04:41.880 --> 04:43.640 Only about thirty or thirty five dollars. 04:43.640 --> 04:47.040 They said we had more in the back room and they wanted that too. 04:47.040 --> 04:49.160 If Dad was to get it or they'd kill us. 04:49.160 --> 04:50.640 Did you get it for them? 04:50.640 --> 04:51.640 Yes. 04:51.640 --> 04:53.360 I went back and took it out from where we hid it. 04:53.360 --> 04:54.360 Handed it right over. 04:54.360 --> 04:56.360 What did the doctor say about Keith?

05:06.000 --> 05:08.440 After they got the other money the two men left the store. 05:08.440 --> 05:10.840 Put the cash in the paper bag and walked out. 05:10.840 --> 05:15.640 Said to me to stay still for five minutes or they'd come back and kill Keith and me. 05:15.640 --> 05:17.760 When did the special officer come into the store? 05:17.760 --> 05:18.760 We didn't. 05:18.760 --> 05:19.760 Ma'am? 05:19.760 --> 05:23.040 He drove up when we were arguing with the men on the sidewalk and after they left the 05:23.040 --> 05:25.040 store Keith got up and ran after them. 05:25.040 --> 05:26.040 Tried to hold him. 05:26.040 --> 05:27.040 Did the officer know what was going on? 05:27.040 --> 05:28.040 No, not at first. 05:28.040 --> 05:30.000 He thought it was just an argument. 05:30.000 --> 05:34.240 When he walked up Keith tried to tell him that the store was being robbed but the tall robber 05:34.240 --> 05:36.040 said it was just a personal fight. 05:36.040 --> 05:39.800 Said it didn't concern anybody else but Keith and him. 05:39.800 --> 05:41.240 Were you on the sidewalk at the time? 05:41.240 --> 05:42.640 Yes, right beside Keith. 05:42.640 --> 05:43.640 I see. 05:43.640 --> 05:46.680 Robber said that Keith was just an old crackpot trying to cause trouble. 05:46.680 --> 05:48.440 That the officer should forget about it. 05:48.440 --> 05:49.440 Yeah. 05:49.440 --> 05:52.400 I guess it didn't sound very good to him because he said it'd be better if Keith and the men 05:52.400 --> 05:54.480 talked to a policeman. 05:54.480 --> 05:56.880 That's when the tall hold up man grabbed the gun and shot. 05:56.880 --> 05:57.880 At the officer? 05:57.880 --> 05:58.880 Yes. 05:58.880 --> 06:01.720 Grabbed the gun out of his holster and shot him in the stomach. 06:01.720 --> 06:04.720 What happened then? 06:04.720 --> 06:10.520 Smaller of the two stabbed Keith a couple of times and both of them ran down the street. 06:10.520 --> 06:11.520 Did you see where they went? 06:11.520 --> 06:12.520 Yes. 06:12.520 --> 06:14.720 They got into a car that was parked about a half a block away. 06:14.720 --> 06:16.720 Jumped into the car and left. 06:16.720 --> 06:19.840 All right, Mrs. Montgomery, just a couple more questions now. 06:19.840 --> 06:21.920 Did either of the two men use a name at any time? 06:21.920 --> 06:23.400 What do you mean? 06:23.400 --> 06:27.280 Well, when they were talking to each other did they use a name of any kind, do you remember? 06:27.280 --> 06:28.280 Yes. 06:28.280 --> 06:30.400 When they shot the officer, the big one, he did the shooting. 06:30.400 --> 06:32.800 He said, come on, Hank, let's get out of here. 06:32.800 --> 06:33.800 Like that he said it. 06:33.800 --> 06:36.400 Now, is there anything outstanding about the two men that you can remember? 06:36.400 --> 06:37.960 Anything that would make them easier for us to identify? 06:37.960 --> 06:40.760 Oh, I can't think of anything right off. 06:40.760 --> 06:43.880 Just that one was tall and the other one was short. 06:43.880 --> 06:44.880 That's all I can think of. 06:44.880 --> 06:45.880 About how tall, do you remember?

06:56.520 --> 06:57.800 No, no, nothing like that. 06:57.800 --> 06:59.000 Now, how about the short one? 06:59.000 --> 07:01.280 Anything that would make it easier for us to identify him? 07:01.280 --> 07:02.280 Just his fingernails. 07:02.280 --> 07:03.280 How do you mean? 07:03.280 --> 07:06.000 They looked like he'd never cleaned them. 07:06.000 --> 07:08.000 Real long and dirty, I remember that. 07:08.000 --> 07:10.000 Was there anything else? 07:10.000 --> 07:11.000 No. 07:11.000 --> 07:13.640 Did either of them speak with any kind of an accent, would you remember? 07:13.640 --> 07:16.720 No, sounded just like anybody else. 07:16.720 --> 07:17.720 Nothing special about him. 07:17.720 --> 07:18.720 I see. 07:18.720 --> 07:19.720 Joe. 07:19.720 --> 07:20.720 Yeah, Frank?

16:50.760 --> 16:57.760 Ed's car was stolen tonight. 16:57.760 --> 17:00.760 We got the address of the bar where Ed Vargas had called from. 17:00.760 --> 17:02.760 Frank and I drove down and talked to him. 17:02.760 --> 17:06.960 He told us that he'd left work and had stopped in the bar for a couple of drinks before he went home. 17:06.960 --> 17:10.360 However, when he left the place, he found that his car was gone. 17:10.360 --> 17:14.360 He returned to the bar and spent the next several hours trying to figure out what to do. 17:14.360 --> 17:18.560 We talked to the bartender and he verified Vargas' statement that he'd been in the place all evening. 17:18.560 --> 17:21.360 He was released from custody and allowed to return home. 17:21.360 --> 17:24.160 Frank and I continue to talk to the bartender. 17:24.160 --> 17:25.560 Got to get ready to close up pretty quick. 17:25.560 --> 17:26.560 Just a couple more questions. 17:26.560 --> 17:28.360 Will you mind if I clean up the back bar while we talk? 17:28.360 --> 17:29.160 No, sir, go right ahead. 17:29.160 --> 17:31.360 Thanks. 17:31.360 --> 17:32.760 What do you want to know? 17:32.760 --> 17:35.560 You told us that Vargas came in about a quarter of six, is that right? 17:35.560 --> 17:36.560 As far as I can remember, yeah. 17:36.560 --> 17:38.560 I could ever take a couple of minutes on either side. 17:38.560 --> 17:39.960 But he was here before seven. 17:39.960 --> 17:40.560 For sure. 17:40.560 --> 17:41.960 You meet anybody here? 17:41.960 --> 17:43.060 How far is this going to go? 17:43.060 --> 17:43.760 What do you mean? 17:43.760 --> 17:45.360 Is Watt going to find out if I tell you? 17:45.360 --> 17:46.160 Not from us. 17:46.160 --> 17:48.260 Well, Ed and the missus haven't been getting along so good lately. 17:48.260 --> 17:49.360 You know, been beefing a lot. 17:49.360 --> 17:49.960 Yeah. 17:49.960 --> 17:50.760 Ed's a funny guy. 17:50.760 --> 17:52.160 He don't like no trouble at home. 17:52.160 --> 17:53.760 As soon as Sarah started giving him problems, 17:53.760 --> 17:55.960 he found another girl, a kid that works in his office. 17:55.960 --> 17:58.460 They usually drop in here for a couple of drinks before he goes home. 17:58.460 --> 17:58.960 Yeah. 17:58.960 --> 18:00.260 Nothing serious going on with them. 18:00.260 --> 18:02.160 Just they like to sit and talk. 18:02.160 --> 18:04.760 Ed's all the time telling her how this wife doesn't understand them. 18:04.760 --> 18:06.960 Old line, but I think he means it. 18:06.960 --> 18:08.460 He was in here with a girl tonight, was he?

18:24.460 --> 18:26.060 Look, people come in here to relax. 18:26.060 --> 18:27.460 They all got something on their minds. 18:27.460 --> 18:30.160 I make it a practice not to eavesdrop or interfere. 18:30.160 --> 18:31.960 What was their problem, you know? 18:31.960 --> 18:33.160 Sarah won't hear it? 18:33.160 --> 18:34.360 No, we told you before. 18:34.360 --> 18:35.860 Yeah. 18:35.860 --> 18:37.560 One wanted to come around here causing her beef. 18:37.560 --> 18:39.260 She's jealous, you know, real jealous. 18:39.260 --> 18:39.860 That so? 18:39.860 --> 18:41.160 Oh, yeah. 18:41.160 --> 18:43.660 Anyway, Ed must have told the girl that he was thinking of leaving his wife, 18:43.660 --> 18:45.660 because tonight she told him to do something about her, 18:45.660 --> 18:46.960 or she was walking out. 18:46.960 --> 18:49.160 Had a little kind of tiff, and then she left. 18:49.160 --> 18:51.560 After that, he went out to get the car and found it had been stolen. 18:51.560 --> 18:52.460 Where'd he leave it, do you know? 18:52.460 --> 18:53.560 A lot behind the building. 18:53.560 --> 18:54.760 Did he leave the keys in the car? 18:54.760 --> 18:55.260 I don't know. 18:55.260 --> 18:56.960 You saw him when he left carrying a big load. 18:56.960 --> 18:57.860 He don't remember. 18:57.860 --> 18:59.160 Probably did, though. 18:59.160 --> 19:01.460 You have anybody else in here tonight that looked like Vargas?
