Please? Thank you? Now? What is it? Missus? 40 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,719 Missus Martha down? Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered you, Captain. I know 41 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,000 how busy your police officers always are, right, all right, Missus gunn 42 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,000 if you just tell me. I told the officer to desk and he's just 43 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,120 smiled and didn't say anything. And I well, if you'll just tell me, 44 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,599 Missus jarn Now, what's wrong? I'm one your family and miss well, 45 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,039 not exactly, Captain. You see it's my niece Patricia. No, 46 00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:15,000 Captain, it's her cat that's missing. Missus goaran what with her circumstances surrounding 47 00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:19,600 the cat's disappearance, Patricia was playing with the cat in the backyard, and 48 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:24,160 all of a sudden it's bounded over the fence and into the yard next door, 49 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,399 run into the gates. My niece saw another little girl about her aid 50 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,920 gets the cat into her arms and run into the house next door. Did 51 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,160 you inquire about the cat? Yes, and they said that I must be 52 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:39,920 mistaken, but there was no little girl living there, and that there was 53 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,680 certainly no cat in their house. Perhaps your niece was mistaken. No, 54 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,480 I'm sure of that, Captain Patricia is exceedingly toothful. How all of these 55 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:55,920 people live next door year for more than twelve years? And Captain how were 56 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360 you were about to say, Missus Grant, Oh, something dreadful about that 57 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,319 place? Capta, The Croxtons have lived in that house for twelve years, 58 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,319 and never once had I seen them except going in and out. Why that 59 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,600 house hasn't seen the light of day since the day they moved into me? 60 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,160 Why is that? Because the shame hadn't between up in twelve years? Just 61 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,439 what does this mister Croxton do, Missus Garan. I can't tell you that 62 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,439 he leaves home with your sister every morning at eight thirty, and I hardly 63 00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:29,000 ever see when returned they keep any servants. Yes, an old man, 64 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,879 a horrible looking old man. I've threatened to move several times, but then, 65 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:39,199 after all, why should I. They never make any noise. It's 66 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:45,040 just the destiny stilest. Well, Missus Gallant, I'm afraid you've allowed yourself 67 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,639 and to come over awed about the kitten. It'll probably come home. And 68 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,360 if it doesn't, ye, and I'll just stroll around and ask the Crostons 69 00:05:54,399 --> 00:06:14,560 about it myself. But if that holds the old cat on it tonight, 70 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,439 get down and shut up, Tommy, I'm talking on the parm Yes, 71 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,839 what timeless this I see. Well, I'll stay on the job of them. 72 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,319 I'll be around about four. You're look worried. Cap. I've been 73 00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,279 doing some thinking, Tommy. I'm so unusually is it as I feel? 74 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,399 I mean, no mood for sarcasm today, I've got news for you. 75 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,279 You don't mean to tell me the cat hasn't it the fall playing? Yeah, 76 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:41,360 but the day I called upon the Cruxton, you don't tell me. 77 00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:45,639 I'm inclined to agree with Missus Gallan. I don't know just why, but 78 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,879 I do. Yeah, if your team sent a perception working, Cap, 79 00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:50,920 keep on and you'll find that cat. Yet it isn't a cat that's worrying 80 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,279 me, Tommy. It's a story about that little girl. But the croxton 81 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,360 said there wasn't a little girl in their house. Yeah, I know. 82 00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,160 That's what I told Missus Gallan the day. I told me that the little 83 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,879 girl hadn't picked up the cat, practically admitting that there was a little girl 84 00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:08,040 in there. They said she'd tried to, but the cat got away. 85 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,600 My very white the cast the matter aside, and it's little What are you 86 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,920 worrying about now? Man? I had a talk with Missus Gowan's niece and 87 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,199 he impressed me very much as a youngster who always tells the fruit. He 88 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,600 said that a very ragged, dirty little girl had snatched up the cat and 89 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,920 run inside and the boat school. If you asked me, if you had 90 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,360 a nose for news, Tommy, you'd ask you what I intend doing? 91 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,480 All right, I'll ask you what do you intend to do about this matter? 92 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,600 Captain Nelson? I intend to get into that house this afternoon and find 93 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,519 out what's going on behind those shades, and tell me, if you're a 94 00:07:38,560 --> 00:08:03,439 good actor, you're gonna go with me. That's a big Steplet you've talked 95 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,920 me into this cap. It's like a town in this outsite. No, 96 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,759 you don't tell me. You look like an employee of a municipal water company. 97 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,920 And you better actor part. Doctor Cruxton is a smart man for all 98 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,360 a lot of who you asked me. You're stopping here for one of the 99 00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,279 boys from the office was to meet me here. Oh here he is. 100 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,399 What you find out? This guy Crockston, that's their book ridge business downtown 101 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,160 has a select clientele. Company name is overman Son, a very retiring sort 102 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,039 of guy. Keeps out of site most of the time. Nastiest positions. 103 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960 How about the wrapping people? You find a mere trace box? I took 104 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,840 it over the powers. He traced it to the Books chemical company. I 105 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,200 said that regular deliveries and made the Crockston's house here, but they couldn't reveal 106 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,360 the nature of the orders. Mister Brooks understood that Cruxson was an amateur chemist. 107 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,120 All right, Peters, done very well, get back to your post. 108 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,039 We're going inside that house.

What's it just occurred to me that the district attorney is 327 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,160 going to have a tough time making a charge stick against either of those boys. 328 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,000 Only one of them is that the scene of a crime. Therefore, 329 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,079 we can only accute with one of them. The only witness we have can't 330 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,559 tell or which one of them did it. They both turned state evidence against 331 00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,400 the other, so we can't charge him with conspiracy to defeat the law. 332 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,240 And the law says we can't charge but one of them with a murder. 333 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,799 So there you are, it's up to the da. Huh, what are 334 00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:51,279 you looking at, drink? Let's looking at those two kids through the window 335 00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:53,519 here, Captain, they're walking along, I'm you know him, like they 336 00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:57,799 didn't have a care in the world. And what's more, the heavens yes, 337 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:18,960 sir, as long as the book Welcome Back. And the moral of 338 00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:26,440 that last story is that if a criminal is able to get out of a 339 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:33,119 charge simply concoct a cover of her plan to commit murder. Yeah. I 340 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,559 have to wonder what these producers were thinking as they wrote these programs. Well, 341 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:42,119 this is a type of thing that would generally be considered okay within I 342 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,400 guess a thirties style of crime story. And there was a lot of things 343 00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:55,119 that would be considered okay in fiction, we would tend to frown upon in 344 00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:03,119 general, just because the police tended to get viewed as corrupt or, as 345 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:10,920 in this case, ineffective. So the only way that a person could actually 346 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:15,079 get justice was to take the law into their own hands, at least according 347 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:22,599 to the prevailing ideology and a lot of Meatia productions of the era. I 348 00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:27,920 also had to admit the first one was somewhat interesting, as he left the 349 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:37,240 poor girl chained in the house while and left a reporter guarding it so that 350 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,759 he could get a legal search warrant to uncover what he had found in his 351 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,359 illegal search. But that was actually a decent pace of detective work, and 352 00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:52,440 I thought it made sense, and I appreciated that he followed up on a 353 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,240 step could often be easily dismissed as unimportant. Well, that will do it 354 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:03,799 for today. We will be back on Monday with Pursuit, and then join 355 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,079 us back here next Saturday for two more episodes of Police Headquarters.
