Our men can 29 00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:00,159 handle it. And I see you don't understand me what I mean? Capton? 30 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,840 Is I might be able to let is tell you something about the king? 31 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Are you all with this? Very much? So? Captain, come 32 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,800 in and sit down mister, don't we say Brown? If you wish, 33 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,599 Thank you, Captains, have a chair. Thank you. As you were 34 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,759 saying, I was saying that I could tell you something of interest about the 35 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,199 murder of Andrew Adams. Adams, Yeah, I believe he's known as Andrew 36 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,400 Spider now by head. Mister Brown, you're not the man who killed him. 37 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,840 Yeah, although I have my doubts if you'll be able to do anything 38 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,840 to him. I did you say that? The answer to that is a 39 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:43,000 long story, Captain, a story you will find hard to believe. But 40 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,719 as I say, the police will find it very difficult to punish the murderer. 41 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,719 John Fleming not thinks out very carefully before he killed Andrew Adams. Would 42 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:59,520 you like to hear the whole story? I would very well. John Fleming, 43 00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,520 a man who killed Adams is a rather small man, much the same 44 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,000 build as myself. He is no longer young years to put their mark on 45 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:12,159 him. Only two months ago he was released from stone Hill Prison. Oh, 46 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,680 exctly right, we'll have a complete right on him. I think he 47 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,720 realizes that. But to continue with my story, John Fleming was a hard 48 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:27,120 working farmer before his misfortune. It was well caught up in the community, 49 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:31,360 well liked by everyone except one man, a neighbor of Flemings. This man 50 00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:38,040 hated Fleming, and Fleming returned at Hattord. One morning a neighbor's body was 51 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:42,399 found in the burned ruins of his home. Two bullets were found imbedded in 52 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,920 the body, and those bullets were placed to the gun of John Fleming. 53 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:49,480 Needless to say, after a trial by a jury, John Fleming was called 54 00:04:49,560 --> 00:05:00,360 to face the bar of all in a cart to learn the Jore. Have 55 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:04,519 you reached a verdict? We have, your honor? Will you read that 56 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:09,800 verdict? We find the defender, John Flemming, your second degree murder of 57 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:17,319 Ton with a recommendation for murder. Honor, John Fleming, will your eyes 58 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:24,399 and face the card. You have been duly tried and convicted on a charge 59 00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:29,680 of murder in the second degree. The Jore has handed the card a recommendation 60 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,040 for mercy. Is there anything you wish to say before sentence is passed upon 61 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,560 your nothing, your honor, other than to once again maintain that I am 62 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,480 innocent of this crime. On the witness stand, I readily admitted the enmity 63 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,480 between the deceased and myself. However, I did not kill him. That 64 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:54,720 is all I have to say, Jun Freming. It is the order of 65 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,079 this card that you'll be taken to the state prison. That's dawn here and 66 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:24,839 they're being risen for a time not to exceed twenty year. And so John 67 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,040 Fleming was convicted of a crime which he strongly maintained he did not commit. 68 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,720 I see where does oil does connect with you? Okay, I'm coming to 69 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,240 that. Captain John Fleming served eighteen years, two months, and three days 70 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,720 of that sentence. At noon on the last day of his confinement, he 71 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,079 was called into the office of the warden. The warden was busy. Oh, 72 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,360 I mean flanning. You wanted to see the warden? Yes, sit 73 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:54,759 down, Thank you, sir. Today is the big day for your planning. 74 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,240 I know, sir. Today you become a freeman. Today, your 75 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560 depth of society it is paid, paid and full. You've been a model 76 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,360 prisoner, Flemming. Your work and our agricultural department will long be remembered. 77 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,560 I'm sorry to see you go, but I frust you will not be back. 78 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,680 No ship. Before you leave, There's one question I'd like to ask 79 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,879 you cause me great concerns as I assume my duties. Here is warden. 80 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:24,360 How do you feel about your conviction? Now? I am not guilty of 81 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:30,199 the crime with which I was charged and convicted. I see, well, 82 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,399 you're free, Flemming, free to go, and may you enjoy the best 83 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:42,000 of luck. Here's my hand, and so Captain John Fleming walked out between 84 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,319 the great iron gates of the prison alone. He had a cheap suit of 85 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,319 clothes on his back in twelve dollars in his pocket. Yet he resolved to 86 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,759 start life when you start where he left off. I don't know just what 87 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:56,199 you're leading up to, mister Brown, but you'll have to hurry your story. 88 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,959 We've worked to doing at the mottom. I won't take up much more 89 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,319 of your time, Captain Well. Fleming tried to find work, You have 90 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,319 my word for that, but luck just didn't break for him. Finally he 91 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,519 came back here to his hometown. No one recognized him. He found a 92 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:16,040 job in a trucking company with hard work for an old man. Each evening 93 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:22,079 he dragons at home, utterly exhausted from the day's work. One evening he 94 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,839 opened the door to his room and found good evening. Fleming Adams, No, 95 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:35,600 you're alive, Oh yes, I'm very much alive. Don't stand there 96 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,919 staring come in. I all. You were told I was dead, You 97 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,799 were convicted for my murder. Your slaved eighteen years for it, not knowing 98 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,200 that it was alive and prospern you mean the I mean you're framed Fleming, 99 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:54,480 framed by me. I cause you to suffer that living hell for eighteen years 100 00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,320 because you're married the woman I love but married. Yes, I know your 101 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,279 white died during the second year of your imprisonment, but no matter. I 102 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,240 have had my revenge. I wanted to see you suffer. I wanted to 103 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,679 see you in agony, even though it meant burning my home and leaving town 104 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:18,399 for fifteen years. You feel I'm careful of Flemming. I have a gun. 105 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,360 I wouldn't he take to kill you like I would have dog. I 106 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,279 thought perhaps the hardship of prison life would do it for me, But you 107 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:31,480 are too hardy. Never mind, you're dying. Your face showed it, 108 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,960 every moment of your body shows it, and you came up here to boat 109 00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:39,480 over it. So enjoy my misery, Andrew Adams. I hope you can't 110 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:46,600 do anything. Andrew Adams is dead. My name is Spicer. I am 111 00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:50,720 a well to do merchant. Nobody would believe you. But a body, 112 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,120 a body which the authority mistook for mine. Oh, I planned things sampanly, 113 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,000 my friend. I stole your gun in your absence. The body was 114 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,480 out of a tramp who came to my house begging food. I shot him 115 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,440 with your gun, poured oil on my house, and disappears. You can 116 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:16,919 imagine what joy I had reading of your reference conviction you you haven't long to 117 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,200 live, Fleming, I had intended killing you, but I've changed my mind. 118 00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,360 I shall let your supper suffer the knowledge that I Andrew Adams wrecked your 119 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,039 life as you try to wreck mind, but I didn't. I shall leave 120 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720 you. Now, leave you on your midery, Fleming. Lead you to 121 00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:39,480 ponder on the wreckage you have made of things you haven't longed to live. 122 00:10:39,679 --> 00:11:01,039 Fleming, I can see that you're becoming interested. Captain. We come now 123 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,080 to a last scene of this story. John Fleming was left alone to think 124 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:11,279 things out. Prison had dulled his senses and took him several days to map 125 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,879 out his course. Then Fleming took what little money had saved and purchased a 126 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,240 revolver. Next he made arrangements to meet Adams at a downtown building. He 127 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:28,679 was waiting when Adams arrived. You have a nerve to call on me for 128 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:33,759 help. Did you do you think I'd help you? You think I'll give 129 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,320 him one tenth for doctors for medicine. I didn't come to you for aid, 130 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,559 Adams. I came to talk things over with your talk things over. 131 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,360 What do I have to talk to you about? Several things I believed. 132 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,000 First, I want to compliment you upon the planning and executing of such a 133 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,639 diabolical scheme to in vengeance upon a fellow man. It was a bit of 134 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,840 planning as only the devil himself could have accomplished. You have anything to pay 135 00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,159 to me? Oh, you're a heart man, Adams. You knew exactly 136 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,559 what you were doing. You knew that I'd be arrested and convicted for a 137 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,679 crime which I did not come in. I believe the irony of living amusal. 138 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,799 You knew just how everything would happen. You've thought it all out in 139 00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,000 great detail. But there's one thing that you didn't. Oh, yes, 140 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840 you said, Adams. He overlooked the fact that the man can only pay 141 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,440 once for the same time once and once only I've paid for your murder, 142 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:33,480 Adams. Now I'm oh, no, where can I find this Fleming? 143 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,960 Why do you want to bother him? Captain? You can't convict him, 144 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,440 rat to Charlotte. He's already paid for the crime, Paige in fool. 145 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:43,679 He can't be made to pay again. But it's not up to me. 146 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,440 I'll have to arrest him, arrest him for the murder of a dead man. 147 00:12:48,519 --> 00:13:13,240 Very well, Captain, I'm John Fleming, Police Headquarters.

I 171 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,200 came in this thank that one week ago to day and borrowed two hundred thousand 172 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,799 dollars. You borrowed a much two hundred thousand dollars? What did you borrow 173 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,559 the money for my company? We're didding on a new tract of land. 174 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,879 We wanted the cash to close the deal. I see as collateral on the 175 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,000 loan. I put up two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of New York 176 00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:28,200 and Boston Railroad bonds. The real estate deals were true, and I brought 177 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,559 my check for two hundred thousand dollars plus the interested days and asked for my 178 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,799 bonds. Man well, I was met with a cock and bull story that 179 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:37,960 they couldn't make a child believe. What about this, mister Margan, What 180 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,000 mister Sampson tells you is absolutely true. This bank loaned him two hundred thousand 181 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,080 on the bus that I was just a week ago to day. And what 182 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,960 happened to the bond, I don't know. You don't know. I've been 183 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,679 in the stolen or misplace. I've tried to tell mister Smpson that if you'll 184 00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:56,399 give us a two days to day, your bank firing up interest on the 185 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,960 loan. Not a chance, Okay, Morgan, you produced my bonds immediately 186 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,639 or I'll swear out of water. But you're a rat, mister. A 187 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:06,799 minute, wait a minute. I look into this thing and it o man 188 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,960 who handled the pan's action, mister Evans, a cashier. Where in this 189 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,240 office did you see the bonds, mister Margan? Yeah? And were they 190 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:18,840 in New York and Boston Railroad? Yes? What happened after you inspected and 191 00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:22,120 fast on the bonds? I instructed mister Evans for God, check for the 192 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,679 amount and make the necessary arrangement with mister Sempson here, and those arranduments were 193 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,000 made. Yeah, then your cashier Evans was the last man to handle a 194 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,360 boonder. That it's correct. And if the bonds were stovern Captain Young, 195 00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,120 We're not sure that they were stolen. You see, when we opened mister 196 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,799 Simpson's envelope this morning, expecting to find the bonds, we found these instead. 197 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:45,960 And if you asked me, they tried to pass this worthless stop up 198 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200 onto me, thinking that I'd not notice it. What are these bonds? 199 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,000 I'm ass they are an old issue of German municipal bonds. They're absolutely wistles. 200 00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:56,080 And you found these in the envelope instead of the railroad bounder. Yes, 201 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,840 well, were released bonds kept during the past week. In the vault, 202 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,839 we have a special section for a collaboral and they went moved until you 203 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,319 went to get them today. As far as I know, they were not 204 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,599 who went from today Evans the cash here I see, mister Margan. How 205 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,440 many people in this bank would have access to the collaboral. Three mister Evans, 206 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,359 mister Turner, the vice president, and myself and one of your faith 207 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,359 Brook Stop my bottom, mister Sampson. I'm going to ask that you let 208 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,039 me finish what I started without interruption, all right, but I was something 209 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,759 done and we will do all we can. Mister Morgan, if you'll arrange 210 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,319 for me to talk to the cash here Evans, I will see what we 211 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:59,119 can do to No evens you're positive that you placed the bonds in his envelope, 212 00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:02,920 mister Morgan, so me doing that Rightmans Marghan, Yeah, I was 213 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:06,880 watching him. There's absolutely no counts that an error with me. And you 214 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,400 took this envelope directly to the vault, Evans Gay, and it's been an 215 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,559 evault ever since. Yeah, that is until I went for it today. 216 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,519 Have you ever seen these German minicipal bound reform? No, that's beyond me. 217 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,079 Margan. You've long Sampson two hundred thousand on some New York and Boston 218 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,039 Railroad bounds. Those bounds were entrusted to you for safekeeping, and he's ready 219 00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:32,559 to pay back the loan and you can't produce the bonds. That's to me 220 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,920 as though you'll have to pay him a full price of the bombs, that 221 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:37,680 is, if we're not found, and of course the bank will do it. 222 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:42,640 We're fully protected by insurance. Captain Young, You've made quite a reputation 223 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,440 locally as a sleuth, and I'd depreciate it very much if you took a 224 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,359 hand in this matter. Of course, the bank will call it all investigators, 225 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,400 but I'd feel better about it personally if you took chimes, even if 226 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,359 the trail led to one of your officers or yourself. Even then, smarting 227 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,759 on first, I want the serial numbers on all the missing bonds, and 228 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:18,359 then I want to talk to each and every one of the oh here comes 229 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,680 to Captain Oh boys, I'm glad to see you're all here.

You got after Evans the cash here and any commies 246 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,799 that he might run into, make a complete report by today. We got 247 00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:22,079 the capitol.

He described the downy as a dapper little guy with 255 00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:15,680 a gray mustache, had a letter of reference from the Third National. I'll 256 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:22,000 get it.

And 264 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,119 then tay him. Keep your eye on him every minute. I got a 265 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,599 hunch, and if it works out, a certain gentleman in this town is 266 00:21:53,599 --> 00:22:06,400 going to be very surprised. Glad you got here, Kat, And I'm 267 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,240 waiting for him to come out in that office there. Who is he? 268 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,960 I don't know, but it all checks. He's a little old man about 269 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,039 five feet four, gray mustache and walked with a sort of a swen. 270 00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:18,000 How do get the lead? And I was coming to town, like you 271 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,400 told me. I asked about New York and Boston Railroad buns at Adams and 272 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:23,680 Sons, and they told me that they had a feller in to sell some 273 00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:26,759 to a client if there's at two o'clock. So I hiked at the phone 274 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:30,960 and called you. Then, Well, I thought them like I said, 275 00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:33,440 as soon as I saw him, knew that you fit the description of a 276 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,079 guy who's been passing him at the other places. So I kept right on 277 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,960 its tactically stopped ten and I called you again, and it came right over. 278 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,000 How long has you been in that office? About twenty minutes? It 279 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,000 So who's office is it? I don't know? Names around the corner. 280 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:49,279 I think, wait a minute, I's on the door over here. Hey, 281 00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:52,720 hey, why can't we're going into that office? All right, come 282 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,759 on right behind me and get your eyes open, all right, all right? 283 00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:00,920 Asked that that's it up high, I see what we'll see what in 284 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,839 that little guy's hand melting some of the funs Captain Man, Just as I 285 00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,960 thought. And on the desk is the marked money for the system that Adams 286 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,240 and Sons where they just sold some of the bonds. Listen, it's time 287 00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:15,359 for you to listen to Sanson. Oh yeah, well you've got nothing on 288 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,119 me. Tell you you find a shut up? Or do I shut you 289 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,880 up? What the car Captain Hilton, We just caught a couple of slickers. 290 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,119 Sanson here has stopped the fly and plan all out. He was a 291 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,599 smart guy, but he got two bold He should have held the bond for 292 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,039 a couple of years. I don't get your captain listen this, yeah, 293 00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:33,880 yeah, yeah. Samson is a man who owned the bonds. Originally he 294 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,839 saw a way to make two hundred thousand on them by pulling a faston in 295 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,799 the bank. He borrowed the money on the bonds and then saw to it 296 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,160 that they disappeared out of the vault. So he could force the third national 297 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,680 to pay him face value for the bond. How did he get him out 298 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,319 of the bank? Easy? Yeah, you see that little short guy standing 299 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,480 there in front of him. Well he did it. Samson hired him to 300 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,359 steal the bonds out of the bank and pass him for him. You mean 301 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,960 this little guy is a bank driver. Oh no, not at aone. 302 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,319 Jerked that point in the stash off of his upper lip. That's said. 303 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,279 See he's not a bank robbery a bank cashier. You're under a rap don 304 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:55,200 welcome back. One thing I find interesting is the gold Mage of Entertainment had 305 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:04,440 all these very fanciful interpretations of the h constitutional provision against double jeopardy. The 306 00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:11,480 fact that you were convicted of murdering someone in a fire doesn't mean that you 307 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:18,559 can shoot them and get away with it because you were convicted of previously murdering 308 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,559 them. I'd doubt there are a whole lot of presidents on that, just 309 00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:26,440 because when people are murdered, they tend to stay murdered. Those are two 310 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:32,720 separate crimes separated by more than twenty years. I remember it was a children's 311 00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:38,559 book written I think in the nineteen forties, where the hero had committed a 312 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,359 crime and then been put on trial and acquitted it. I think it was 313 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,240 a burglary. And then he went ahead and committed another burglary of the same 314 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,200 place, and someone said he couldn't be tried again because he couldn't be tried 315 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,359 for the same crime twice. Now there are two different crimes, two different 316 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,880 occurrences, though I do think in the case of the police headquarters, the 317 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:07,200 prosecutor might make a decision to dispense with it, or to at least arrange 318 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,319 some other arrangement, particularly with the state of health of the defendant. The 319 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,279 second one, I had a kind of a hunch as to how it was 320 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:22,519 going to turn out. I was surprised that the bank clark was an accomplice. 321 00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:30,319 I was thinking something had happened at the moment where the guy who deposited 322 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,319 the bond switched him, but didn't quite get that part right. All right, 323 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,319 Well, that we'll do it for today. Join us tomorrow for a 324 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,440 one thousand, three hundredth episode special. I think you will enjoy it. 325 00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:48,640 It's an episode of suspense. And then on Monday we will begin it all 326 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,400 again with a pursuit, and then join us back here next Saturday for another 327 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,160 episode of Police Headquarters.
