It was Friday, March sixteenth, was damp in Los Angeles. We're working
the night watch out a homicide. My partner's Ben Romero, the boss's Thad
Brown, Cheap of Detectives. My name is Friday. It was eleven forty
five pm when we got to where we'd parked our car second in May.
A couple of drops on the windshiel, yeah, ohe it holds off.
I was thinking of going up to see the Cubs and Bars play an exhibition
game tomorrow. I guess maybe now a long you might be lucky. What's
within a man's sake to get the video? It's a slow knife. Yeah,
might not beat him. My night March seventeenth in it oh yeah,
sixteen through a color station all units. He was connedy of one O two
South Virgil two eleven and shooting Coude three had one All units Virgil two eleven
and Shooting CO three Unit thirteen. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, eleven fifty eight
pm. We arrived at one O two South Virgin the bottom of hotel four
story building. Sergeant Shimer medicine the lobby and informed us if the shooting took
place at eleven forty pm in room four thirty two, occupied by mister and
Missus Theodore V. Benham. Missus Benham was the victim. We went up
to the fourth floor where Officer McCready was stationed outside the room. An he
wasn'ness is only Benham says it was a thief. Are you talking to people
on the spot? And then I'm sorry anything? They're all in their rooms.
Any other way out of here? A stairway in the rearly, it's
the roof. I took a look. Nothing up there. Where's benim across
the hall line down? Coxes with him? Okay's look at the body.
We went into the room, a dreary place with a single light hanging from
the center of the ceiling. The carpet was faded and worn in spots.
On the north side where a closet in the bathroom. Against the east wall
was a dresser. Across the room was a double bed, and at the
foot of the bed window looking out over the roofs of adjoining buildings and the
marque of a movie house down the street. A steamer trunk was in the
corner, and a straight backed chair was next to the door. The mirror
of the dresser was smashed, and on the dresser at Gideon Bible on the
bed was the body of a woman's sprawled face down. There were several splotches
of blood on her coat. From the chair was a thirty two twenty Revolver,
which McReady said belonged to Benham, the husband of the murdered woman.
We asked McCready to put in a call to the crime lab and we went
across the hall to question Benham. This is an awful shock. I'm not
feeling well. I'm under doctor's care, hemophilia. Awful shock. Sit down,
please, yeah, I don't know what it'll do to me. I
should be in the sanitarium right now. Most thing you're taking care of Lincoln
Sanitarium and Eagle Rock. Could you tell us what happened tonight? What?
Yes, we my wife and I went out to the Sycamore Cafe over in
Alvarado. What time was that, Oh about nine point thirty, had a
couple of drinks and something to eat, and listened to a piano player.
Then came home. I unlocked the door and Elizabeth when in first, went
over to the dresser. I just walked over to her when a man stepped
out of the closet in the back of us. He had a gun.
Can you describe him? I don't know, I don't know. Did you
see his face? No? He had a blue bandann over his face,
and he had a cap on a blue and white check. Did you notice
his clothes? No, no, I didn't anything else. He seemed very
nervous and he wasn't holding the gun still. My wife was opening a person.
I said, well, I haven't got very much, but I'll give
you what we had, and he fired and hit Elizabeth. I put my
gun from my overcoat and started shooting. Are you in the habit of getting
a gun? No? No, no, I'd noticed suspicious looking men followed
me late least I bought one. Is this the gun here? Yes?
And then what happened? Well, if I had all the bullets, I
don't know how I missed the room small He kept moving around all the time,
but I guess I did miss. Then he ran out of the room.
How old would you say? This? Man? Oh, Sorr,
I haven't the fast idea. I'll see you a minute, sergeant. Sure,
we'll be back, mister Benham, this has been an awful shock to
me. In her eyes, wife fell but creed. He told us that
Sergeant Shimmer had found a woman in the Nevada hotel next door who might know
something. When next door in question missus Caroline Cromwell, resident of the hotel.
She occupied room four fifteen on the top floor. She told us that
about twenty seconds after she heard the shots, she looked out the door of
her room and saw a man come down the back stairs, which leads to
the roof of the hotel, and entered room four oh two. She'd seen
the man several times and was positive of her identification. Sergeant Shimer said the
man was registered as Jack Morrison, who went to room four oh two.
Right again, what's that, police officer? What do you want? I'd
like to ask a couple of questions. I was going to bed. We'd
like to talk to you. Won't take very long, all right? What
do you want to know? How long you've been in your room? About
ten minutes? W Where were you to the movie? Which one right down
the street? Why are you asking me all these questions? You've been drinking?
Hello? Not much? Man? If we look right a little,
I was out all the time. I didn't know nothing about a shooting.
And you won't mind. If we're looking around, you won't find nothing here.
He's all the clothes you've got. Yeah, it's your coat. Yeah,
yeah, you're wearing this tonight? Were you no, it's only coat
in the closet. What'd you do with the coat you were wearing? Guess
I was wearing that one. Just spill it? What the bottle of whiskey
it broke? How I know? You got a hole here in the sleeve.
What do you do with a broken bottle? Through the way where?
I don't know? On the street, yo, I thought of something.
Shirt stuck down between the wall and the back then looks like blood on it?
Is this yours? Where's the shirt you wore tonight? Take off your
pajama top? Why take it off? All right? But I didn't have
nothing to do without shooting next door? What happened here? Guy shot at
me? Who? I don't know. I bought a bottom, had a
couple of drinks, and went to the movie for a little while away from
the bed place. I came out of the movie because I was getting dizzy,
and I went up on the roof here to get some There. While
I was standing there, guy ran across the roof and shot at me.
What looked like I don't know. He came from the roof of the hotel
next door and ran into this place. How big was he? It was
dark. I couldn't see. What'd you do? Well? After I was
sure he was gone, I came down. I was gonna have my arm
fixed in the morning. Let her get your clothes on. Why you got
a pretty bad arm. You better have it fixed up. We'll take you
to George Street Receiving Hospital. It's all right. I don't have to go
there anything. Ben No, you got king shit? No ant better wear
your pajama top. Then, oh, here's something. What'd you say?
Your name is Jack Marts. Here's a card I found the close. It
says Tommy Kane report for work Joe's Cafe at lock March First. Who's Tommy
Kane? That's me? Where you're from? Elgin, Illinois? Why'd you
leave Elgin? No work? I've been bumming around you. Ever been arrested?
I was picked up in a vague charge. Mon here. Yeah,
I don't know why you guys are bothering with me. When somebody gets shot,
we bother. We took King to Georgia Street Receiving Hospital, where they
found that a muscle in his upper right arm had been severed and the right
side of his chest was bruised. Before taking him to ward, thirteen hundred
General Hospital for free of the treatment. We took him back to the roof
of the Nevada Hotel. He's still trying to rain. Yeah. Well,
where were you standing when he got shot at? King? Right over there?
I was leaning against the bricks. And where'd the man come from?
Out of that door in the other roof, the roof of the Bartlet Hotel.
Yeah? Was he running when he shot at you? Yeah? Yeah,
he was? Where'd you run? Right across here where we are?
And then he went through this door here into the Nevada Hotel. Do you
notice anything unusual about him? Why? His face was covered with a handkerchief
and he wore a checked cat But you said before it was too dark.
Well, I could see that. I mean you know, I could see
that. I couldn't see his face. And you were standing over there with
the fairly yeah about yeah about here? Yeah, that's it. M all
right, let's get over the roof of the Bartle a little high. Can
I help you over? Come? On? Ben? Have you ever been
in this hotel before? King? No? Everything all right with grany?
Yeah, crime labs here checking the murder room. Bet him awake? I
think so, mister Benham. Yes, man, if we come in course,
Now have you ever seen this man before? Let me see? Can
you stand over there in the light? They are as I'm as good as
they used to be. Move over there. How's that that's better? Just
the man who shot your wife? No, that's not the man. We
left instructions for another car to take Theodore Benham to Lincoln Sanitarium. An Eagle
Rhoy we took Caine toward thirteen hundred General Hospital. Two forty two am we
arrived back at the Bartlett Hotel, where police chemist Ray Pinker had finished his
examination. Three slugs thirty eight caliber and five slugs thirty two to twenty were
found in the mattress in the walls, all on the same side of the
room. On the floor of the room we found a piece of white cloth
and some brown threads. Ray Pinker returned to the crime lab while Ben and
I made in search of both hotels, the incinerators, the alley in all
likely places for the missing thirty eight was not found. Three forty eight am.
Ben went to the record bureau to check on any possible criminal record Kane
might have had. I went to the crime lab to see what Ray pinker
had found nothing on in this one that's been a clean miss, and nothing
on these four thirty two twenties. Where'd you find those? The thirty eight
out of the window frame thirty two twenties were in the south and east walls.
How about the others here? Well, in these two thirty eight slugs,
I found my minute portions of thread. They compare with the dress and
coat. Want of the deceis? Ye bet? I checked Kane's record,
He told the true nothing more than a bag jar. Huh. I was
just gonna those threads on two of the thirty eight slugs and on one of
the thirty two twenties, same time threads and the same kind of thirty two
twenty. That's a good venom yure. Yeah, did you check the cloth
yet? Well, right now, venom must have been shooting off a while.
Where'd you find that thirty two twenty slug? Right the floor under the
bed hasn't done any of the other thirty two twenties. Yeah, this piece
of cloth matches the shirt about the coat and those threads got only a couple
of threads that might match. Let me have a coat? Maybe right better
have been him? Take another look at Cane. Huh yeah, I guess
so. I could give you a cup of coffee, how about you as
soon as we get finished. How about it? Right? You gotta make
it? Yeah, I match now, that's it. Huh oh. One
more thing? Yeah, fresh stains on the carpet that room? What kind
whisky? March eighteenth, we picked up Benham at Lincoln Sanitarium and drove him
to the General Hospital. Three times. He asked us to stop someplace so
he could have a drink. We told him to have to wait. We
arrived at Ward thirteen hundred and one, and Caine was brought out. Take
a good look, mister Benham. No that isn't the man, I'm sure
of it. Kane. Tie this handkerchief over your face. No, this
way, that's right. I'll put on this cap Caine. I'll stand over
there, please a little further. That's good, all right, mister ben
You know his eyes and ford look a little familiar. But I don't know.
All my nerves are all shot. I can't be positive. I'm a
sick man, all right, King, I wish I could help you.
Boys. Come along, please, you don't have to take me back to
the sanatory, and just take me to a street car. I'll make it
all right. Well, yeah, did I see you a minute? Sure?
Yeah. Did you notice anything when you first brought Cane out of the
ward? No, you must have been closing the door. Yeah, I
was that man Venom. He winked at him. You are listening to drag
Net the case history of a police investigation. We took Venom back to his
sanitarium. On the way, he asked if he could be excused from testifying
at the ind question preliminary hearing. We told him it couldn't be done.
Seven pm, Ben and I returned to the General Hospital and took Keen into
a small room adjoining the prison ward. After three hours of interrogation, he
stuck to his story. Cigarette came, thanks, he's all right, hurt's
little. Now when you guys going home, when we get a straight story.
I've been telling you all. I know. Yeah, you've been telling
it's the same story for two days. But it doesn't hold water. What
do you mean, how do you account for the fact that parts of your
clothing were found in that room? I told you before. You must have
made a mistake. No, no, it's no mistake. Mister Benham's starting
to think you recognized? Why do you wink at you? He didn't wink
at me. We got somebody here who saw him, and he seems to
think whoever did the shooting didn't take the gun. When we drove him back
to Santa Charami, he asked us if we found it yet, and thinks
we will. How long has Benham lived in LA? A long time?
How long? Why do you want to know how long he's lived? Here?
Is a dead woman? Really his wife? Well? Certainly she's his
wife? What where's he been since the shooting in the sanitarium? An eagle
rock? What's the matter with him? Nemophilia? You know what that is?
No? You sure that was his wife? Positive? She wasn't a
stool pigeon? Stool pigeon? Where'd you get that? At you? You
guys never saw her before? Never? You never heard of her? Kane?
What's eating you? Did you check on her? We always do,
don't make mistakes on anything like that. Do you look? She was a
pretty nice woman from all we could find out, happily emerged for thirty years.
Something's wrong? What Kane? What's wrong? Yeah? What beden him?
Say about? We told you? He says, you look a little
bit like the man. Do you say anything else? He winked at you,
Cane. Why she wasn't a bad looking woman, wasn't she? Kane?
All right now, how about it? You guys swear that was his
wife? Yeah, okay, I'll tell you where the thirty eight is.
Where a mattress on the roof of the Nevada Hotel. Ven Him cut a
hole in it that day. He told me to hide the gun there after
shooting. All right, let's have a look. I don't want anybody to
know I'm telling you of this. Why. Venam's a real smart guy.
He's got a gang. He's in on it as much as I am.
Yeah, he double crossed me. He tried to kill me. I'm going
to jail. He's going with me, maybe he will. Caine told us
that he had known Benham for about two months. During that time, Benham
helped him along by giving him a couple of dollars every once in a while.
On March eleventh, Benham got Cain a room in the Nevada Hotel and
gave him twenty dollars to buy a gun, which Cain did. On March
fifteenth, he gave Kan a blue bandanna and a checkered cap. On March
sixteenth, he told Kane that he'd been sent by a gang in Chicago to
kill a woman who was a stool pigeon. He promised Kan one hundred dollars
for his help. Early that evening, Benham told Kane how to enter their
room and where to hide when they came home. Benham stood with the door.
Kane stepped out of the closet and after a few words, shot the
woman. As he moved toward the bed, Benham started shooting at him.
Caine ran from the room and hid the gun and the mattress on the roof,
and then went to his room and flushed the cap and bandana down the
drain. Eleven fifteen pm, Ben and I found a gun where Cain said
it would be thirty eight Special Detective Colt Revolver two winch Berrel number three eight
one three two seven eleven fifty two PM. We checked and found no evidence
that Benham belonged to any kind of a gang. March nineteenth nine am,
Ben and I reported into homicide and picked up Captain Steed and we went over
to doctor Wagner to learn his autopsy report. It showed that the deceased had
been shot three times. Two thirty eight slugs and one thirty two twenty were
recovered from the victim's body. They were initial for evidence. Eight pm,
Captain Steve ben and I went to the sanitarium and told Benham that there were
a few angles we wanted to clear up before the inquest. Next morning.
Benham got dressed and we drove back to the bottle of hotel was rained.
I'm still trying to remember what happened. I was very shot that night.
Yeah, I suppose you were. Sometimes my memory comes back for a little
bit the red line. Yeah, I see. You know, the man
who did the shooting knew you lived in room four thirty two, and he
knew you'd be gone that night. How do you suppose he figured that out?
Well? I like been noticing that a lot of men had been following
me suspiciously from man until back to Sergeant Friday, didn't nice Argee? Yeah,
that's right, must have been one of them. You have to give
money to characters on the street so much they might follow you. That must
be it. Many times I used to do that. I'd be nice toly
try to make friends. Do you remember any of them. Yeah, yeah,
I do. There was for men Dorsey, Jolly Swanson and fun name
name Laine Kine. Yeah, then that's a king. There you are there,
you are the young manuflquency in the hospital thing. I believe that's Kine.
Are you sure? Quite sure he's the burglar? What makes you think
he was a burglar or what else would he be? He didn't rifle an
he or is he stealing anything? Did? He must have got there just
before us. Did you have anything important there? Oh? Yes, some
insurance policies and your wife. Yeah how much? Well one policy for fourth
cosm two for twenty five hundred years. Who's the beneficiary? Right? I
am. We took Ben him up the room four thirty two where he got
out the insurance policies on his wife and showed them to us. Then Captain
Steed asked him to reenact the shooting. Benham acted as the killer. I
played Benham and Ben acted as his wife. Well, the man was over
here in the closet. My wife and I came in that door, and
then my wife went over to the dress room. Oh over here, you
turned on the light, oh yeah, and then I closed the door went
over behind her like this, she was closer to the bed. Yeah,
yeah, well you standing next to her? Yeah, do you start to
take off your coach. I was just going to when this this man stepped
out of this closet here how far? Oh? Here? Yeah? Yeah
right here? None. Well he had the gun, they said, and
asked how much money we had. Elizabeth said, we didn't have much from
here. Yeah, but but but she turned around. Yeah that's it what
happened then? Well then I said, I haven't got very much, but
I'll give you what we have started shooting. Yeah, but you said before
that your wife started looking in her purse. Yeah, that's what she did.
I forgot and that made him think she was going after a gun.
How do you know, Well, I suppose that's what he thought. He
shot, and Elizabeth fell on the bed. I pulled out my gun and
started shooting, and the man right out the door. And that's all.
That's exactly what happened. Huh, just as I remember it. Will I
help you not very much? What's the matter? Well, if you were
standing where I am, there'd be bullet holes on that side of the little
there, wouldn't you. They're all on this side. See I got it.
Come with me where you're going on the roof for I want to show
you something. Yeah, it's raining. There are two umbrellas in the ties
it. I'll get them. Why do you want to go up there?
I think I know where that gun might be hidden. I bet it's there
here. You take this umbrella, we'll take this one, Captain. Let's
go. I bet it's up there. We'll find you. You got your
wife's like ben, Yeah, should be around here somewhere. What's the mattress?
My wife used to take sun baths on it? Where would it be?
But just about here? I don't see any Sure it's up here.
I bet it's on the next room. Didn't you say can't live in that
hotel? He probably won't do any flash light over there, behind an ell
of a chap there, Yeah, there, it's here. We have to
climb over this part. But to get on the other roof. Watch the
gap. It's pretty slippery. Okay, yeas slipping. Okay, mh this
mat is here. That's it. Take a look all right, No,
nothing here? Did you look all around there? Did you look in the
corners? No, that would be a good place to hide a gun.
Don't you think and let me see. It might be a hole cut in
one of them. H maybe the other corner. Now maybe this one.
Yeah, you see the matches have been cut. No, no, it's
got to be here by h Yeah. Here, I know it can I'll
find it. I'll find it. Go away, you see, I'll get
it. I know it can't. I'll fight you would, I'll get it.
I'll get it. He's getting wet, Jill. We got the thirty
eighteen. Told us about it. You're ready to talk. Yeah, insurance
that why you did it? Yeah, I'm a sick man. Let's go
about him on your peak. All right. They played that ball game the
other day. Yeah, who won? Fired? Sure do dag? Baseball
must be a real nice business. Yeah. Fans only yell, but they
never do it. Let's that kill the empire. The story you have just
heard was true, only the names were changed to protect the innocence. On
July, second trial was held in Superior Court, Department eighty nine, City
and County of Los Angeles, State of California. In a moment the results
of that trial, Thomas Kane was convicted of second degree murder and received a
term as prescribed by law. Theodore V. Benham was convicted of first degree
murder and assault with a deadly weapon. He received a life sentence and died
in prison one year later. You have just heard Dragnet, a series of
authentic cases from official files. Technical advice for Dragnet comes from the Office of
Chief of Police Way Wharton, Los Angeles Police Department. This is NBC,

slash Live. You're listening to the great detectives of Old time Radio with Adam
Graham and now let's get back into the show. Welcome back. Well,
this was an interesting tank on the idea of the perfect murder. If you
were reading a book or watching a movie, you'd see the perfect murder committed
by a swave rich, wealthy man to get even more wealthy off the death
of his wife. Here we see a guy planning and watching a nine thousand
dollars plan and proves in the process that he's not quite as smart. And
many programs would say things like you can't outsmart the FBI, you just can't
defeat the police. Here, though, they opt to instead just show somebody
try, and they get the message across just as effectively, if not more
so. Now, what oddity about this episode for listeners who were born in
the last sixty years ago? Is this idea of going to see the Pirates
and the Cobs play in an excavation game in Los Angeles. Important thing to
remember was that at this point, the LA did not have its own major
league team. In fact, in nineteen fifty if you wanted to see Major
League baseball and you were west of Saint Louis, you were pretty much out
of lock. Major League Baseball wouldn't come to Los Angeles until nineteen fifty eight.
Los Angeles played host to at least one and occasionally two minor league teams.
There was the Los Angeles Angels, and another minor league team that played
there was the Hallleywood Stars. The Angels played at Wrigley Field, and yes,
there was a Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, and it had more parking
available than the Wrigley Field in Chicago. In fact, it's still it has
more parking than the current Wrigley Field situation. And it was not only the
home for minor league baseball, it was where Hollywood went to film baseball movies.
They filmed the Pride of the Yankees there, along with the original Angels
in the Outfield movie from nineteen fifty two, and of course the Home Run
Derby series from the early sixties. There was also an episode of The Twilight
Zone that was filmed there, as well as an episode of The Monsters.
I know I'm getting a little off topic, but it came up in my
research, and Wrigley Field in Los Angeles is on the list now of places
I would love to go and visit if I got a time machine. But
yeah, teams could definitely come through and play exhibition games on the West Coast,
just as they play exhibition games in Florida and Arizona as part of spring
training. But Major League Baseball was still about eight years away from coming west.
And then we do have a comment here from Hia, who says,
Hi, it's Hia Simpkin. My boyfriend and I both love dragnetting your Dragonnet
shows. I have a couple questions about the mission scene. What is the
song played when everyone goes marching off to launch. The answer is that it
was Onward Christian Soldiers, and it was a song where the words were written
by the Anglican priest Sobbing bearing Gold in eighteen sixty five, and the music
was written by Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan in eighteen seventy one. It's
commonly associated with the Salvation Army as their professional hymn, and having it played
there at the end of a service does kind of evoke the Salvation Army.
But in a more practical sense, the song had the virtue under the then
copyright laws. In effect, a song would only be in copyright for a
total of fifty six years, so that one came into the public domain in
nineteen twenty seven, so the music could be used without paying any sort of
royalty. The second question is this next one may be a dumb question,
since I don't know much about Christianity. Why does the preacher call everyone brother?
And sister. I know Catholics call monks and nuns that, but whether
the mission is Catholic or not, this can't be the case since Friday and
Romero aren't monks at all. Thank you for your show. It's a great
way to start the week. Well, hi, it's been quite a while
since they mentioned their outfits now, Seriously, that is a good question.
There are various different approaches to how people are addressed in various Christian denominations.
Some will use a phrase brother or sister to relate to all Christians, or
they'll use it to relate to all people as brothers and sisters. There is
an important thing to say about Dragnet in the nineteen fifties and when it comes
to the way that it rites and portrays Protestant missions and ministers. And certainly
there was definitely no sort of ill will intended, but there really wasn't any
apparent research, and so the way that they're written is just very court kind
of cheesy and in a way that's really clunky. It wasn't actually all that
bad last week, but it is something that you will hear throughout the series,
where for whatever reason it was just not as well researched, and it
may have been because because there were assumptions about the audience of the time that
you were dealing with a nation where perhaps majority Protestant, and so they would
actually know how an actual Protestant minister would sound. So I wasn't really thought
of as a big deal. And of course it wasn't just Dragnet. You'll
find in a lot of shows and movies that there are kind of very basic,
stereotypical pictures that are painted and I think that did become a bit of
an issue for the Salvation Army, and in nineteen fifty eight they launched their
own radio series, Heartbeat Theater. The series highlighted the Salvation Army's role as
a provider of community relief and social services and there are efforts to help people
throughout the community to highlight the sort of work they did, and it was
a very good series that actually continue to run into the nineteen eighties. But
in short, with Dragnet, you'll get a lot of grain looks at how
things were in the nineteen fifties and so many areas, but I would say
that that one area where you probably don't really get a feel for how people
are like or were like as when the show goes into portraying rescue missions and
Protestant ministries as they just tend to go for the more hoky and like I
said, last week wasn't the biggest example of that, but there are others,
so consider your self advice. All right. Another listener comment, Michelle
