It's just somebody else to explain it to. 391 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: There is, but they won't understand it either. Monday, August seventh, 392 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,039 eight rex Burley was taking downtown to the Robbery Division 393 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000 for further interrogation. He told us that he was in 394 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,079 his senior year in high school when he got started 395 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,640 on narcotics. He kept repeating this, he didn't mean to 396 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,200 get started. He readily admitted his participation in six narcotics robberies. 397 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,160 He told us that he got Katherine Dorrance, his eighteen 398 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,440 year old girlfriend, started on dope. Jean Bechdel took his 399 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,880 statement and a complete report was made. A partial recovery 400 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,640 of the stolen narcotics was made from his hotel room, 401 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:20,079 and the remainder had been found at Irving Adams residence 402 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,440 on ninety second Street. Both female suspects, Iris Adams and 403 00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:26,839 Katherine Dorrance were filed on for violation of the State 404 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,200 Narcotics Act. A show up was scheduled for August eighth 405 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,799 to allow positive identification from rex Burley's victims. We received 406 00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,839 word from Georgia Street that doctor Gannon's condition was improved. 407 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,920 The suspect was transported to the main jail where he 408 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,759 was booked. It was ten thirty eight pm when I 409 00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,759 got to fourteen fifty six Collis Avenue. The front door 410 00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:13,240 is that you? No, I'm not hungry. 411 00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:16,559 Speaker 6: I don't have to eat fixture something. 412 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,559 Speaker 5: I'm kind of tired. I just like to sit down 413 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:19,000 for a minute. 414 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 6: All right, there's evening paper. 415 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:22,839 Speaker 5: Oh thank you. 416 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 6: What don't you do to the sleep of your coat? 417 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,039 Speaker 5: It's so Messa ripped it? 418 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 6: Uh you slip it off. I'm mended after it fixtures 419 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,599 some dinner. 420 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,279 Speaker 5: Why don't you sit down and work on it now 421 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:35,640 if you want to. I've got something I'm kind of 422 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,319 like to go over with you. You remember that telegram 423 00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:43,200 from Belmont this morning high school? Well, I think I 424 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,400 got an idea for a speech. Maybe I just made 425 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,880 a few notes here, wrote down sound of it. You 426 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,759 think you feel like listening to it? See if it's okay? 427 00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:56,839 Speaker 6: You're at the speech today? 428 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,279 Speaker 5: Well, just parts of it. I hadn't written a clara yet. 429 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:00,839 I just got a few. I want to see what 430 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,279 you thought of. 431 00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 6: It, and let me have your coat? 432 00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 5: Then, yeah, there you go. Thank you. 433 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 6: Now it's here you talk. 434 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 5: Well, I remember it's not written down yet. It's just 435 00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:17,880 kind of hit and miss as I going wrong, But 436 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,680 I think I can get the thought across and then 437 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:26,599 I'll put it all down on papers. Mister Fisher, that's 438 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,519 the principal up there, mister Fisher. Members of the faculty 439 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:34,160 in students, I like to tell you about a young 440 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,160 boy who started out in high school and ended up 441 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480 on the roof of a downtown hotel, dodging police bullets. 442 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,279 I like to tell you about his girlfriend, eighteen years 443 00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:48,759 old and a dope addict. This young fellow started out 444 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:51,960 on narcotics in search of a new thrill, something new 445 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,680 that he hadn't experienced in his young life. He was 446 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,440 still in high school when a group of the more 447 00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:01,599 high living youngsters used to congregate at the local malt shop. 448 00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:04,519 Well that's not so good, is it. Well, maybe sound 449 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:06,839 better this way. There was a malt shop on the 450 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440 corner where some of the youngsters used to get together 451 00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:13,240 after school. Kind of a place where if you had 452 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,519 the right connections, and our young boy and girl did, 453 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,640 you could get a drink of liquor in the back room. Well, 454 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,920 the high school faculty knows all about this local malt shop, 455 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,400 and they inform the authorities and pressure is brought to bear. 456 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,640 But the man who operates the place is clever. If 457 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,039 you can call the operations of a man like this clever. 458 00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:37,480 He knows how to cover up, how to keep the 459 00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:40,119 front room legitimate, in the back room a spawning place 460 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,839 for a juvenile delinquency, and the students don't help much. 461 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:47,759 There seems to be something during the formation of a 462 00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:50,960 juvenile mind that when his teachers or his parents catch 463 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,720 him doing wrong or they try to tell him it's bad, 464 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,039 he prides himself and seeing how long he can get 465 00:25:57,039 --> 00:25:59,720 away with it under covers seems to be the stylish 466 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:05,279 thing to do to outwit your parents and teachers. As 467 00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:07,880 the youngsters grow older, they invariably find out how infantil 468 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,079 and stupid this is. But sometimes it's too late. That 469 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,000 sounds kind of stuffy, Ma, What do you think. 470 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,759 Speaker 6: It sounds like the truth? Let me hear the rest 471 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:16,000 of it. 472 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 5: Well, you know how kids are. Sometimes they resent it 473 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,920 if they think you're lecturing them. Maybe they could have 474 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,759 been with Ben and I and I might make a difference. Well, 475 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:25,200 I want to make this too long, man, I think 476 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,519 maybe I ought to finish up something like this from 477 00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,759 this malt shop on the corner. In that back room, 478 00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,279 our young boy gets a good shoved down the road 479 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:39,160 of self degradation. He has the right connections and isn't 480 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,680 too long before he graduates the liquor in the back 481 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:45,799 room for something. He thinks it's far better narcotics. He's 482 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,799 heard that, unlike liquor, you can't smell it on his breath. 483 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,039 And he's a real veteran now he has hangovers. He's 484 00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,759 heard that narcotics doesn't leave you with a hangover, so 485 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:57,400 it doesn't take too long before in our well, in 486 00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:01,599 police parlance, he's hooked. Living in this day and age, 487 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,359 he thought that they taught him well in his economics 488 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,640 and civics classes. He thought he knew what post war 489 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,160 inflation was all about. He didn't have the vaguus notion 490 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,519 of the cost of his daily supply of narcotics. Once 491 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:16,319 he was hooked on it, he found that before long 492 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,680 he had to have his daily dosage and no time 493 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,119 at all. He found that it was all he could 494 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,519 do to get buy on thirty dollars a day, So 495 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,759 that costs monk thirty dollars each and every day. Or 496 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,160 he became violently ill, so sick that he couldn't seem 497 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,640 to function properly well in order to maintain his daily needs. 498 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,240 He got a gun and he robbed and he beat 499 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,599 people in He stole. He shared with his girlfriend, and 500 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,640 he dragged her down with him. He ended up on 501 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,759 the roof of a hotel trying to shoot his way out. 502 00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 4: Well. 503 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,039 Speaker 5: The boy was twenty years old, his girlfriend was eighteen. 504 00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:53,079 Two years ago, they both sat out there in a 505 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,839 high school auditorium during an assembly. He went a long way, 506 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,640 didn't he? In his two years out of high school. 507 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:02,599 Taken into custody on the night of August seventh. Who 508 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,039 was crying when we put the handcuffs on him? He 509 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,640 was crying when we left him in his cell at 510 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,160 the county jail. I guess he's still crying. I only think, man, 511 00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:14,880 that's just rough. I haven't. 512 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 6: Good. I believe it. You think it'll do any good? 513 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 16: Well, I don't know, man, it's up to them. 514 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: The story you have just heard was true, only the 515 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,559 names were changed to protect the innocent. 516 00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:39,079 Speaker 3: On November ninth, trial was held in Superior Court, Department 517 00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:42,000 eighty three, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California. 518 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,039 In a moment, the results of that trial, and now. 519 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: Here is our star Jack Webb. 520 00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,319 Speaker 5: Thank you friends. There are many cases on record of 521 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,359 two people not related looking so much alike it's hard 522 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:55,160 to tell them apart. A quick check of fingerprints, however, 523 00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,960 easily proves who's who on first sight. You could just 524 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000 as easily be fooled by King size cigarettes. If you 525 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400 were to place a Fatima in any other King size 526 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,759 cigarette side by side, you'd find a look identical. But 527 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,680 believe me, there's a real difference in Fatima. That difference 528 00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:15,279 is quality, quality that gives you extra mildness, a much 529 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:19,319 better flavor and aroma. Compare Fatima with any King size cigarette. 530 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,400 The size is the same now the price is the same, 531 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,359 But in Fatima the difference is quality. By a pack. 532 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 3: Tomorrow, Rex Martin Burley was found guilty of three counts 533 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,240 of robbery in the first degree and was sentenced to 534 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:44,000 the State penitentiary, where he is now serving his term. 535 00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:48,119 First degree robbery is punishable by imprisonment from five years 536 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,640 to life. 537 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: The Federal Civil Defense Administration will send you an air 538 00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:57,000 raid instruction sheet if you will write the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, 539 00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,119 d C. In closing five cents in Coiner stamp. 540 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: You have just heard Dragnet a series of authentic cases 541 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,039 from official fails. Technical advice comes from the Office of 542 00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:14,720 Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department. 543 00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: Fatima Cigarettes best of all, Along Cigarettes has brought you 544 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,799 a dragon at portions transcribed from Los Angeles. 545 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 13: Stay tuned for Counterspy next. Over many NBC stations. 546 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:43,559 Speaker 1: Welcome back a solid narcotics episode. In terms of life decisions, 547 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,799 taking legal advice from a twenty year old narcotics addict 548 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,000 about how to file a police report might be one 549 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:57,279 of the most foolish decisions you can make without even 550 00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:01,640 getting details as to what he advised. Also, we have 551 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,079 another use of the last name Ginning. It just stands 552 00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:09,000 out how much they reuse that name along with Carver 553 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,960 throughout the run of Dragnet. I did really like the 554 00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:19,480 ending segment where Joe Friday was crafting this speech. It's 555 00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:23,720 interesting in many ways because so many people are familiar 556 00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:28,039 with the nineteen sixties series where Joe Friday is associated 557 00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:32,119 with having a thorough three point lecture ready to deliver 558 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440 at an instant. I mean, some of the Joe Friday 559 00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:40,279 speeches from the sixties were so impressive that they were 560 00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:44,880 put into the Congressional record, and essentially it's assumed that, yeah, 561 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,279 he's just got that on the top of his head. 562 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,240 So having the scene where he's thinking through what he 563 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,759 wants to say and how it's going to be received 564 00:31:54,839 --> 00:32:00,480 by his audience reflects the way the character was originally conceived. 565 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:03,759 And he's having to put some real thought into how 566 00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:07,279 he's going to speak to these high schoolers. And it's 567 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:12,240 a realistic, kind of first outline of how the speech 568 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,880 might worked out, rather than a finished product. And certainly 569 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:21,359 there's some thought as to how he's going to craft 570 00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:27,160 the message, but there is actually with that closing line, 571 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,799 an important idea that reflects something different than the way 572 00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:38,160 we often view things in the twenty first century. Friday 573 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:42,119 said whether the speech would do any good would be 574 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,039 up to the kids, And I think in our information age, 575 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,759 in so many contexts, you'll hear people emphasize the role 576 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,599 of the speaker, the role of the presentation, and suggests 577 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,279 that if you have the right speakers and the most 578 00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:02,359 effective methods and the right in influencers, then that will work. 579 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,960 And if people make bad decisions, the speaker has failed 580 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,440 in their function. Now Certainly speakers should try to be engaging. 581 00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:17,680 They shouldn't be overtly offensive to their audience unnecessarily. They 582 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,440 should do the best job to present the information in 583 00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:25,240 the best way possible. And certainly, if you're using new 584 00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:29,200 technology and social media, you should you do all the 585 00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:33,680 fundamentals of presenting in that format. But at the end 586 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,440 of the day, we're all fundamentally responsible for our own 587 00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:46,319 lives and the decisions we make, whether the decisions more legal, financial, spiritual, health, 588 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,440 or anything else. We always say that the idea is 589 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:55,279 that people need to communicate ideas better, we can ignore 590 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,359 that responsibility element, and I think that's an interesting point 591 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,480 from this episode. All right, well, now it's time to 592 00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:05,680 thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want 593 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,079 to go ahead and thank Robert, currently supporting the podcast 594 00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:13,239 at the Detective Sergeant level of seven dollars and fourteen 595 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,719 cents or more per month.
