I guess I looked in all of them. 112 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,920 I didn't see any ads though for a green ring. 113 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,920 Well, I looked at the ring real close and didn't seem like a good stone. 114 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,920 So I decided maybe it wasn't worth anything advertised. 115 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,920 I know, but it was worth trying to sell, wasn't it? 116 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,920 Well, like I said, I ain't working.

The time I made the report, I hadn't missed it. 285 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,920 These things were stolen from my jewelry box. I thought the emerald was in the safety deposit box. 286 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,920 I see. But why didn't you make a report when you discovered that it was gone? 287 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,920 Oh, well, it happened at a bad time. I'd made plans to go over to Reno for a vacation. 288 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920 You know what a lovely place that is. 289 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Well, I thought if the rest of the things were recovered, the ring would be too. 290 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,920 Well, nevertheless, you should have taken the time to report it, ma'am. 291 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,920 Oh, yes, I know. But at the time, I was more concerned with my plans for this trip. 292 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,920 Have you ever been to Reno? 293 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,920 No, ma'am. 294 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,920 Oh, you should go sometime.

You know, Miss Hendrick, how much was your ring valued for? 297 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Well, I'm not quite sure, but I think Carson paid something like a thousand dollars for it. 298 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,920 Well, three days ago, we recovered an emerald ring that was supposed to have been found. 299 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,920 It may possibly be yours. 300 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,920 There, you see. Nothing to worry about. I just knew when I saw you two men that everything was going to be all right. 301 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,920 My friends are right. I can read character. 302 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Yes, ma'am. We'll have to go over to the property department to identify the ring, Miss Hendrick. 303 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,920 Oh, good. Good. That'll be another experience. 304 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,920 I'm going to have to get in touch with Carson. I'll need another charm for my bracelet. 305 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,920 Yes, ma'am, you will. 306 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,920 And I know now just what I want, something that symbolizes this occasion and especially you two offices. 307 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,920 Uh-huh. 308 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Can you guess what it'll be? 309 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,920 No, I can't. Can you pray? 310 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,920 No, Joe, I can't. 311 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,920 Two little gold bloodhounds. 312 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,920 We took Miss Hendrick's over to the property department in the central jail. 313 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,920 We signed out for the ring and she identified it as being hers. All the jewelry was booked as evidence. 314 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,920 We went to the district attorney's office and got a warrant for the arrest of James Fedder. 315 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920 We got out a local and an APB on the suspect. 316 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Frank and I checked his residence, but we were told the suspect had moved several days previously. 317 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:17,920 The landlady had no forwarding address. She couldn't tell us about any visitors or any mail he'd received. 318 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,920 She was unable to tell us if he drove a car. We rechecked his known associates and friends. 319 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920 Several leads were obtained, but none of them turned up anything. 320 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,920 Five days went by. Thursday, June 25th. 321 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,920 Morning, Frank. 322 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,920 Hi, Joe.

What's new? 325 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,920 Well, we got a call from Waddle Theft. 326 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,920 Yeah? 327 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,920 They picked up a man early this morning trying to steal a car. 328 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,920 Somebody we want? 329 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,920 I think so. James Fedder. 330 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,920 You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. 331 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,920 All of us smoke for relaxation, for comfort, for satisfaction. 332 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,920 And in the whole wide world, no cigarette satisfies like a Chesterfield. 333 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,920 You smoke with the greatest possible pleasure when your cigarette is Chesterfield. 334 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,920 Only Chesterfield gives you the right combination of the world's best tobaccos. 335 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Tobaccos that are highest in quality, low in nicotine.

Chesterfield. And the time to change today. 340 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,920 Before Frank and I checked out of the office, we contacted all of Theft Detail 341 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,920 and told them we wanted to talk to Fedder. 342 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920 We drove over to the main jail. The suspect was brought to the interview room. 343 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920 I heard you guys were looking for me. That's right. 344 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,920 I could have come in, but I didn't think it was important. 345 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:00,920 So you do it the hard way, huh? 346 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,920 This is bad beef. I guess you figure them all that way, huh? 347 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,920 No, not always. You take a chance. You get caught, it's bad. 348 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,920 But you ain't getting credit for something you didn't do. 349 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,920 Is that so? Yeah. 350 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,920 What do you want to see me about? You don't know, huh? 351 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,920 No, just as some of the boys said you were asking for me. 352 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,920 Thought maybe you'd like to tell us more about where you found that ring. 353 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,920 Oh, that again? Yeah, that again. 354 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,920 You got my story. Now what more do you want? 355 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,920 We got an alibi.
