<v Speaker 6>people wouldn't be roaming in and out.

104
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.600

00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Production supervisor you' and augh manager a lot of names

124
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 6>for it. I try to take care of the running

125
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 6>of the company as far as this one picture's concerned,

126
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 6>to make out the budgets, work on the schedule, and

127
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 6>director or things like that. Really hard say just what

128
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 6>my job is, so I do a little of everything, Yes, sir,

129
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 6>you fos from homicide, Yes, sir, that's right. Do you

130
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 6>think that there's something wrong here? Maybe Henry's accident wasn't

131
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 6>an accident or something.

132
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's just in any death where there isn't a

133
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 4>doctor in the tenants at the time of death, we

134
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 4>have a look into. It's just routine.

135
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 6>I thought the manager might think there was some fishy

136
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 6>about this. That's all we need. I have murder on us.

137
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 6>That might as well fold up.

138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 5>Ah, hi, Jerry, you want to see me?

<v Speaker 6>These cops come in here, Try to make out I

155
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 6>didn't put those lamps in Rice, not what they said. Well,

156
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 6>won't you think I feel bad enough? Henry was a

157
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 6>good friend of mine. We've been together a long time.

158
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how the lamp got loose.

159
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 4>Wonder if we could look at its mounting?

160
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Sure I wanted to get up there anyway, look at

161
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 6>it myself. Jerry here said not to touch anything till

162
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 6>you guys got here.

163
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, how do we get up there?

164
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 6>There's a ladder back here at the weirdest stage. I

165
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 6>can't understand it, mister Friday. I've been hanging last for

166
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.360
<v Speaker 6>a long time. It's going to the years. First time

167
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 6>anything like this ever happened. Oh here, it is just

168
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 6>going up. Okay, watch your step.

169
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you go ahead, Yeah, okay, Yeah, we can get

170
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 8>there down this way.

171
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 4>These walks to hang the lights on, do they?

172
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

173
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 5>You gotta be awfully careful, watch your step. It's a

174
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 5>long way down.

175
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

176
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 6>Once in a while, if you want a real high

177
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 6>shot of scene, we lift the camera up here.

178
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 5>Mostly though, it's us just for lights. Hear it. I

179
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 5>you can see there where.

180
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 4>The light was, yeah, sir, I appreciate it. If you

181
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 4>didn't touch anything, I just stand back there.

182
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 5>Sure.

183
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, base of the lamp went through this hole.

184
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah that's right. Yeah, look at the one over there

185
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 5>the same way.

186
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Do you have anything else securing the lights once

187
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 4>they're tied down? O, sir.

188
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 6>Once they're in place the way that the thing itself

189
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 6>will hold it.

190
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.840
<v Speaker 4>In other words, you drill this hole, replaced the lamp

191
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 4>in the hole, and it could It doesn't look like

192
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 4>a wood is chip, does it. No?

193
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 6>These scaffolds are pretty new. This stage hasn't been up

194
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 6>more in a year.

195
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, from what you see, mister Patterson, can you figure

196
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 7>out how the lamp might have fallen, how it could

197
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 7>have broken loose?

198
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 6>I I'll tell you off, sir, Bob. That's my best boy.

199
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 6>Bob and I were over here last night checking the

200
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 6>lights in the set. Now, I didn't actually get up

201
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 6>here myself, but Bob did. He's a good boy, he's

202
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 6>been around a long time, doesn't make mistakes like this.

203
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 6>He secured this lamp himself, and I know it was right.

204
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 4>Well, then if you got any idea how it might

205
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 4>have fallen.

206
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 6>None at all. A matter of fact, I don't think

207
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 6>it did, sir. I don't think it did fall I

208
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 6>think it was dropped.

209
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 4>Three point fifteen pm, Frank and I went back to

210
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 4>stage two. We talked to Bob Murphy, the Best Boy,

211
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 4>and got the same story from him. He said that

212
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 4>he'd secured the lamp and positioned himself and that as

213
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 4>far as he was concerned, it could not have fallen.

214
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 4>He agreed with Dick Patterson that the lamp must have

215
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 4>been removed from its place and either dropped or was

216
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 4>thrown at Wilson. At this point there was the possible

217
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 4>that the death was not an accident. We asked the

218
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 4>unit manager to assign one of the studio police to

219
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 4>guard the scene of the accident, and then we called

220
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 4>the crime lab. Dean Bergman lifted several clean prints from

221
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 4>the broken lens of the lamp. Bob Murphy's fingerprints were

222
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 4>taken and they matched those found in the lamp. There

223
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 4>were no other prints on the glass. The men from

224
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 4>the crime lab found a small piece of blue cloth

225
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 4>on the mounting of the lamp. Lee Jones put it

226
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 4>in a no envelope and gave it to me. At

227
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 4>four twenty pm, we talked to Gerald Adams in one

228
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 4>of the portable dressing rooms.

229
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 6>I just can't believe it. There were a lot of

230
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 6>people in town that didn't like Henry, but I don't

231
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.159
<v Speaker 6>think there was anyone that had kill him.

232
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Was there anyone in the company that he had any

233
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 4>disagreements with? Would you know what do you mean? Well?

234
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Anyone he had crawls with arguments? Would you know?

235
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 6>Well, I guess Sam would be the most likely. They

236
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 6>argued all the time. Sam, Yeah, Sam Phillips. She's a

237
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 6>first assistant director, real talented guy. Been had in a

238
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 6>long time. He and Henry worked together for a long time.

239
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 6>They were always arguing. I guess you didn't know of

240
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 6>You might think they were serious, but here in the

241
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 6>company we all knew, we understood, understood what well Sam's

242
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 6>been in Hollywood almost since it was. He began as

243
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 6>a prop man, where his way up to be a cutter.

244
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 6>Then I guess about fifteen years ago he went into directing.

245
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 6>He's going to get a picture of his own pretty soon.

246
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.840
<v Speaker 6>He'll do well too, real talent.

247
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 7>Well about these arguments, mister Adams, between Wilson and Phillips, Well.

248
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 6>I understand him. You'd have to know Henry. He was

249
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 6>one of the first directors in pictures, came out here

250
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 6>from New York even before Sam did. Really all school.

251
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 6>He drove special cars, most of them pure white, had

252
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.320
<v Speaker 6>all these clothes designed and made. He wore a cape

253
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 6>while he was on the set. You know, referred to

254
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 6>himself as Wilson. You know, Wilson thinks this. Wilson thinks

255
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 6>that if you didn't know him, you take him seriously.

256
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 6>Once you did that, you were in trouble.

257
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Were you ever present when one of these arguments took place?

258
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, matter of fact, they had one yesterday and so yeah,

259
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 6>over in the commissary, I thought for a minute was

260
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 6>going to be pretty serious, and then I realized there

261
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 6>was all a gag. Everyone else did too.

262
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 4>What was it about?

263
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.360
<v Speaker 6>Well, like I told you, the pictures twelve days over

264
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 6>now a lot of tension on the stage. Everyone's pretty edgy. Well,

265
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 6>Sam's a great practical joker, you know. I was trying

266
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 6>to cook up something. Most of the time, the jokes

267
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 6>do the job. They give everybody a laugh. They all

268
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 6>feel a little better. Well, day before yes, today, Sam

269
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 6>got one of the set dresses and took a cement deer.

270
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 6>You know, the kind people used to have in their

271
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:05.840
<v Speaker 6>front lawns.

272
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I know they mean.

273
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Well, the two of them caught it, this deer down

274
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 6>the parking lot and put it in the back seat

275
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 6>to Henry's car. Planted it so the deer was looking

276
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 6>right at Henry when he get in the driver's seat.

277
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 6>I think weighed about two hundred and fifty pounds. Once

278
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 6>they got it in, Henry couldn't get it out.

279
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 4>He tried that night.

280
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 6>He couldn't make it.

281
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 4>He didn't think it was very funny.

282
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 6>No, No, he had to leave it in the car

283
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 6>all night, drove home with it next morning when he

284
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 6>checked in the lot. He'd tried to get it out again.

285
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 6>While he was trying, the horns and the thing tore

286
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.480
<v Speaker 6>up the upholstery in his car. Really ripped it up

287
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 6>the pieces well, finally Henry got a hammer and broke

288
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 6>the thing up, smashed it in the little pieces and

289
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 6>threw them all out of the car, left them right

290
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 6>in front of the scene dock.

291
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Was that when he and Philip said the argument no no.

292
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 6>Yesterday morning, when Wilson got on the set, he wasn't

293
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 6>saying anything anybody. All the crew knew about the deer

294
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 6>and they were all waiting for him to say something

295
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 6>about it, but he didn't. He just drove the crew

296
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 6>through the morning setups. The argument took place at lunchtime. Know,

297
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Henry went until the whole crew he was having lunch,

298
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 6>and then he stormed into the cafe. He walked over

299
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.799
<v Speaker 6>to Sam, really read him off, called him a child.

300
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 6>He said that if he'd spend a little more time

301
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 6>doing his work and less time playing around, the picture

302
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't be so far over scheduled. Really made him look

303
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 6>like a fool. Argument went on for about fifteen minutes.

304
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 6>What was Sam doing all this time when he just

305
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 6>sat there? And then finally he got up and grabbed Henry.

306
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 6>He kind of shook him. Said he'd never been talking

307
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 6>to like that before, and it wasn't gonna happen again,

308
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 6>said he'd kill Henry next time he did it. Well,

309
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 6>Henry looked pretty scared. Sam's a big man, you know.

310
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 6>I think if he made up his mind to do it,

311
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 6>he could have broken Henry in two. Sam looked at

312
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 6>Henry for a minute, and then he laughed. Then Henry

313
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 6>started to laugh too, and then the whole place. I

314
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 6>guess it's like laughing in a horror picture. Anything to

315
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 6>break the tension look real tight. Even I wasn't sure

316
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 6>it was a joke.

317
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, you said that Sam lifted this deer into

318
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 4>the car by himself.

319
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 6>Well, I don't know if he did it by himself,

320
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 6>but I know he could lift it without help. How

321
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 6>much did you say that that deer weighed more about

322
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 6>two hundred and fifty pounds?

323
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 5>Why?

324
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I was just thinking that's about what that big

325
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 4>lamp weight, didn't it. Three forty five pm Frank called

326
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 4>the office and had Ur and I run the name

327
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 4>Sam Phillips and Henry Wilson. Sam Phillips had been arrested

328
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 4>once for disturbing the peace. He'd gotten drunk in a

329
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 4>nightclub out on Sunset Boulevard and gotten into a fight.

330
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 4>The report said that it had taken both of the

331
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 4>arresting officers to subdue him and take him into custody.

332
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.159
<v Speaker 4>There was no record on Henry Wilson. We continued to

333
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 4>talk to the crew. Each one of them told us

334
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 4>about the arguments between Phillips and Wilson, but most of

335
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 4>the people we talked to didn't share Adam's idea that

336
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 4>the arguments were just a joke. The script girl told

337
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 4>us that on at least three occasions, members of the

338
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 4>crew had had to keep them apart, and that Sam

339
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 4>Phillips had said he'd kill Wilson. We asked each of

340
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 4>them if they'd seen anyone enter or leave the stage

341
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 4>at approximately the time of the accident. None of them had.

342
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 4>They explained that Wilson had been trying to pick up time,

343
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 4>and that as soon as they'd finished one shot, he

344
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 4>was yelling at them to get ready for the next one.

345
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Four twenty two pm. We talked to Sam Phillips.

346
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.000
<v Speaker 9>Sure we had some beefs. None of them were serious.

347
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 4>So this fight you had in the commisary yesterday, I.

348
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 9>Mean a thing about the deer.

349
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that didn't mean anything.

350
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 10>Oh, I mean I was pretty sore for a minute,

351
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 10>but right away I knew Henry wasn't serious. Yeah, if

352
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.919
<v Speaker 10>he was, I guess I can understand it. I must

353
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:12.159
<v Speaker 10>have made him pretty shorre to see his.

354
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Car ripped up. Did you left that deer into Wilson's

355
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 4>car by yourself?

356
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

357
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 10>I had one of the set dressers with me. He

358
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.279
<v Speaker 10>kind of steered the thing in. Surely kind of funny.

359
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 4>You sure you weren't over on stage one today? Positive

360
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 4>you got any idea of how that light got loose

361
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 4>and fell?

362
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 10>No, I've been in the business a long time. That's

363
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 10>the first time I've ever known a lamp to fall.

364
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 10>They've been tipped over when on a floor stand, and

365
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 10>I've seen him broken when of the set his moved.

366
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 10>I've ever seen one drop like that.

367
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Do you have any idea how that's going to happen?

368
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Then?

369
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.159
<v Speaker 4>Not the slightest your first assistant, is that right? Yeah?

370
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 4>How long you been in this job? All?

371
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 10>I guess about fifteen years now? Is a cutter for

372
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 10>a while. Took a big cutting salary to go into directing.

373
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 10>Figured to be a way to get a picture of

374
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 10>my own. A lot of directors come from the cutting department,

375
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 10>that's how, Yeah, they do. I didn't care much for it, though.

376
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 10>I like to be on the set see things happen.

377
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:55.000
<v Speaker 9>I like the activity.

378
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 4>Did Wilson know that you wanted to be a director?

379
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, he said that if I stayed with him, he'd

380
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 10>try to get the to give me a picture. Matter

381
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 10>of fact, I kind of thought I might get this one.

382
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Is that right?

383
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

384
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 10>I was in the pre planning stages. They hadn't assigned

385
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 10>a man to it yet, and Jerry and.

386
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 4>I both wanted it. Jerry, you mean Adams.

387
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he wants to be a director too. It's funny.

388
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 10>I guess everyone wants to be a director. Jerry's been

389
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.440
<v Speaker 10>trying for a long time. I don't think he'll ever

390
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 10>make it, though, all right, Yeah, he's too valuable as

391
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 10>a unit manager.

392
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Was Adams very upset when he didn't get this picture?

393
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 9>No, I was pretty sore. I told Jerry about it.

394
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.960
<v Speaker 10>He just sat back and said that's the way things are,

395
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 10>and that doesn't pay to fight the front office.

396
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 4>Did you say anything to Wilson about how you felt? Yeah?

397
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:32.600
<v Speaker 4>I told him.

398
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 10>Said I thought I was real unfair, said I thought

399
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 10>he could have done something about him.

400
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 9>What did he say, told me to be patient, my

401
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 9>time would come.

402
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 4>Do you know if there was anybody on the lot

403
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:42.960
<v Speaker 4>who might have wanted to kill Wilson?

404
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 10>No, oh, there might have been some people who didn't

405
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 10>like him very much, But you're run into that in

406
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 10>almost every picture, you know, little jealousies, right, Yeah, you

407
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 10>really think he was killed.

408
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 4>Though it could have been? Yeah, sure, hard to believe.

409
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 10>We've been making pictures about this for a long time,

410
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 10>you know, murders. Now that it's really on the set,

411
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 10>it makes you feel you can just check ahead in

412
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 10>the script and find out who the killer is. Read

413
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.000
<v Speaker 10>about the ending kind of seems just like another picture.

414
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I suppose so. Yeah, come in.

415
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know he had somebody here

416
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 6>with you.

417
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, mister Patterson. What is it?

418
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 6>I wonder if I could talk to you? Sure, well,

419
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 6>it's kind of private.

420
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:20.680
<v Speaker 4>If you're through it with me, I'll get back to

421
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 4>where all you just wait, I'll be right back here.

422
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 4>We step out here. Okay, now, what is it, miss Peterson?

423
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 6>I feel like a real idiot. I should have remembered

424
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 6>it when you talked to me before.

425
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 4>What's that, sir?

426
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Well?

427
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 6>I remember just before the company broke for lunch. Sam

428
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.880
<v Speaker 6>gave me a note, said I should give it to Wilson.

429
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 6>Did you see what it was?

430
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.240
<v Speaker 5>No, it was folded up, had Wilson's name on it.

431
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 6>I didn't pay much attention to it.

432
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 4>What did you give it to him?

433
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:45.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? He read it and then he said he had

434
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 6>to leave the set for a few minutes.

435
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 4>Said to be right back. He left the stage. Then, Yeah,

436
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 4>where was Sam at this time?

437
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:51.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

438
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 6>You see, he gave me the note just outside the

439
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.039
<v Speaker 6>door to the stage.

440
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 5>I was bringing in some.

441
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 6>More lights, and right after he handed it to me

442
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 6>he left, Uh, headed for stage one.

443
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 3>You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your

444
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 3>police force election.

445
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.359
<v Speaker 4>We talked to Gerald Adams and had two of the

446
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 4>studio police start a search for the note. Frank called

447
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 4>Georgia Street Receiving Hospital and asked if the note had

448
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 4>been found on the body of Henry Wilson. The doctor

449
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 4>told us that he didn't know, and that the dead

450
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 4>man's personal effects had been turned over to the coroner.

451
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.000
<v Speaker 4>We called them and they told us that there was

452
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.559
<v Speaker 4>nothing of that description found. While the search for the

453
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 4>missing note went on, we continued to talk to Sam Phillips.

454
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 10>The whole idea is crazy. I told you I wasn't

455
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 10>near stage one at all this morning. How about the note,

456
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 10>I don't remember any note. Well, like Apper says, he

457
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 10>gave it to him, told him to give it to Wilson.

458
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 4>He's crazy.

459
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 10>If I had a note for Wilson had given it

460
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 10>to him myself, I'm with him all day.

461
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 9>I've got no reason to have someone else deliver messages

462
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 9>for me.

463
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, then you deny giving him the note, Is that right?

464
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 9>Well, certainly, Bride.

465
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 7>We'll let you know just how you stay in. We

466
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 7>got a witness who says you were seeing going to

467
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.920
<v Speaker 7>stage one. A couple of minutes later, a man is

468
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.039
<v Speaker 7>killed on the same stage. You would admit that you've

469
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 7>had arguments with Wilson. Seems like you might have had

470
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:11.079
<v Speaker 7>a MODI for killing him.

471
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 10>I told you I didn't go near the place. Hey,

472
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 10>wait a minute, Yeah, I know what's happened.

473
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 4>What's that?

474
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 10>Well, when Dick told you he saw me heading for

475
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 10>stage one, he probably saw me heading for the office.

476
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.920
<v Speaker 10>I have to pass near the stage to get their

477
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 10>a matter of fact, I even cut through it once

478
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 10>in a while.

479
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Did you happen to cut through it today.

480
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 9>No, at least I don't think.

481
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 5>So.

482
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty important that you remember.

483
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 10>I'm trying, let's see, I know what you guys think.

484
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 10>I don't know how to show you that you're wrong.

485
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.480
<v Speaker 10>Can you come up with an explanation for the note?

486
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.920
<v Speaker 9>Well, I'm trying to tell you. I don't know.

487
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 10>That's what he's talking about. What I did give Dick

488
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 10>a note and told him to give it to Henry.

489
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:45.079
<v Speaker 4>What was in it?

490
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't know.

491
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.440
<v Speaker 9>I didn't even read it.

492
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.599
<v Speaker 4>Then you didn't write it.

493
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 6>No.

494
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 10>I found it at my desk when I was up

495
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 10>in the office this morning. I figured that someone had

496
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 10>put it there, thinking i'd see Henry and give it

497
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 10>to him.

498
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 4>What time did you find it see?

499
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 10>I guess it was about nine or so, I guess

500
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 10>I put it in my pocket and then forgot all

501
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 10>about it. Before I went up to the office to

502
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:02.799
<v Speaker 10>tell him that we were breaking for lunch, I remembered it.

503
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 10>I gave it to Dick and told him to hand

504
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 10>it to Henry. That's what the notes all about. Right

505
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 10>after that I went upstairs.

506
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.559
<v Speaker 4>Do you always tell the office that you're broken for lunch?

507
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

508
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 10>Most of the time I phoned, but today I went

509
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 10>up myself. I've been kind of expecting a letter from

510
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.519
<v Speaker 10>my family back each night. I thought it might be in,

511
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.920
<v Speaker 10>so I wanted to check the morning mail.

512
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 4>Got any idea. Who might have put the note on

513
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 4>your desk? No?

514
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.039
<v Speaker 10>I just found it, you know, tucked away in the

515
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:22.519
<v Speaker 10>corner of the blotter. I really didn't look at it.

516
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 10>I was in a hurry, wanted to finish lunch so

517
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 10>I could get back on the set. We had a

518
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 10>lot of work to do this afternoon.

519
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Did you see Wilson after you left the stage.

520
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 5>No.

521
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 10>I looked for him at the commissary, but he didn't

522
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 10>show up, and the greenery man came in and said

523
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 10>that he had the accident.

524
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 4>Uh huh. You recognize the handwriting on that note?

525
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 10>No, all I saw was the name that it was

526
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 10>for Henry. Kind to think of it, though, I do

527
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 10>kind of remember that it was familiar handwriting, thinking I'd

528
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 10>seen it someplace before.

529
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.480
<v Speaker 4>You remember where?

530
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.079
<v Speaker 9>No, I wish I could have you found it, yet.

531
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 4>No, Wilson must have dropped it someplace here, though it

532
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 4>wasn't on his body. And if you take a look

533
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 4>at this, what's that. Well, a crime lab crew found

534
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 4>this on the stage, caught on the lamp that killed Wilson.

535
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 9>Looks like the material he makes suits out of.

536
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, from inside the cuff. See see the little zigzag

537
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 7>mark where it's been cut. Did you ever see this

538
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 7>type of material before?

539
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.960
<v Speaker 9>Sam, let me see. Looks like it came from a

540
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.359
<v Speaker 9>blue suit. Huh good material?

541
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 10>Sure not color. Yeah, I think I've seen a suit

542
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 10>like this. I think I saw it this morning. Yeah,

543
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 10>oh yeah, sure, Jerry Adams was wearing it.

544
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.279
<v Speaker 4>Six thirty pm. We called Gerald Adams into the dressing room.

545
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Were you on stage one at all before the body

546
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 4>was found?

547
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:36.960
<v Speaker 6>N sir, Why do you think I had something to

548
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 6>do with this?

549
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, we're just trying to get the facts here.

550
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:40.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, I want to help, but it seems to me

551
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 6>that you would spend your time a little better. I

552
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 6>could talk to Sam than ope, and all still deny

553
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.279
<v Speaker 6>giving it to Henry.

554
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Now he says that he gave it to him.

555
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 6>Well, then there you are. I guess that argument was

556
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 6>a lot more serious than we thought. That's nice looking

557
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 6>suit you got on, mister Adams new Yeah, this first

558
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 6>day I warn it present from my wife. Pretty blue.

559
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't usually care for blue, like brown gray. The

560
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.200
<v Speaker 6>wife's been trying to get me wear blue. So she

561
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 6>got this.

562
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Suit for me. Yeah, it's like it's made pretty well.

563
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 6>There, Yeah it is. She had my tailors put it together.

564
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even go down for a fitting. These a

565
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 6>few things done doing, like the shoulders pulled in a little.

566
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't much care for patting on the shoulders, you know.

567
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 7>M h, you mind if I look at the cuffs.

568
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.640
<v Speaker 7>I've always had trouble with the cuffs on my suits.

569
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.640
<v Speaker 7>You can see hear how they worn must be in

570
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 7>the way they're made. No, I don't think so. That

571
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 7>looks like it came from your shoes rumming against it.

572
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Do you mind if I look? No? Here?

573
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

574
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 4>Sure, it's beautiful material.

575
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, she sure got good taste. Of course it

576
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 6>should be. She paid one hundred and eighty bucks for in.

577
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 4>You got a little tear here on the cuff inside?

578
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 4>Have you noticed that?

579
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 6>No?

580
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 4>Let me see right there?

581
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, yeah, how about that. I got to get

582
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 6>that fixed, A little piece torn right out.

583
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 4>What did you do when you found Wilson's body?

584
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 6>You know what I mean?

585
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 4>What were your movements?

586
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, it'll be kind of hard to explain if you

587
00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 6>want to walk over there.

588
00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I enjoy it all right, let's go on.

589
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.480
<v Speaker 6>The company's broken, and I told him wait up in

590
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 6>the office. I figured you might want to talk to

591

<v Speaker 6>him some moorre f here. I'll get the door. Sure,

<v Speaker 6>day in the valley after the sun starts to go down.

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 6>Everybody's always kidding about the cool breeze that comes up,

595
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, really does out here. I know the wife

596

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 4>The summer months.

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.400

<v Speaker 4>No, there's not okay, now, if you chose just what happened.

602
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 6>When you found the body, well, uh, I came in

603
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.440
<v Speaker 6>that door, the big one there, it was open.

604
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Was there anybody on the stage then?

605
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 6>No, no, not right away. The greenery man came in

606
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 6>right after me, and then Jack, the guard from the

607
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 6>other stage.

608
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:47.559
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

609
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 6>Like I said, the body was lying about here, and

610
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.640
<v Speaker 6>the lamp was there?

611
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.160
<v Speaker 4>You saw that when you were here, Yes, we did.

612
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Did you go near the lamp touch it in any weight? Oh?

613
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 6>No, I didn't. Only concern was Henry. That's all I

614
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 6>thought about. I knelt down to feel Henry's pulse, and

615
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.400
<v Speaker 6>then I told Jackie, going for in the ambulance. Yeah,

616
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 6>then I had the doors closed. I waited until a

617
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 6>lot of policeman got here, and then I went back

618
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:10.960
<v Speaker 6>to the other stage.

619
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Our crime lab found a piece of cloth caught on

620
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 4>that lamp, matches the tear and the cup of your suit.

621
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 6>I can't understand how I could have gotten there.

622
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:20.720
<v Speaker 4>What if we look through your pockets?

623
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Why?

624
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 6>What's that going to prove?

625
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I just want to take a look. It won't hurt anything.

626
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, maybe it won't, But I don't see why you're

627
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 6>asking me all these questions. Seems to me that Sam's

628
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:30.000
<v Speaker 6>your killer. Why didn't you talk to him? Make him

629
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 6>tell you why I did it?

630
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 4>All right, come on, let's see what you got in

631
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 4>your pockets. Take everything out, put on the table.

632
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 6>Right.

633
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 4>There's no wallet and you better take the money out

634
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 4>of it. Okay, now, let me see.

635
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 6>The wallet all right here, that's a second with Stradams.

636
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:49.720
<v Speaker 6>What'd you drop over there?

637
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 5>I see.

638
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 6>That's like the note we've been looking for Joe to say, Well,

639
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 6>I have to see you.

640
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 7>Something's come up. Meet me on one when you break

641
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 7>for lunch. It's private, signed Jerry. How about this Adams? No,

642
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't know anything about it. Well, maybe we better talk.

643
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.559
<v Speaker 4>Downtown with you watching Joe.

644
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 5>He's going up that ladder.

645
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Al right, give it up, Adams. There's no place to

646
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 4>go up there.

647
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 5>Stay away from me.

648
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 4>Come on, Adams, give it up. It's not coming down,

649
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 4>and he can't stay up there long.

650
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 5>Why don't you shoot me? I'm not gonna do what

651
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 5>you say. Go ahead and shoot me. What for?

652
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.640
<v Speaker 4>You're not going to any place? How about it, Adams?

653
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 4>Why'd you do it?

654
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 5>He had it coming always life step on people.

655
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 6>This picture was mine that told me I was and

656
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:43.680
<v Speaker 6>he took it away from me just because he wanted

657
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 6>to be a big man.

658
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 7>This was my picture.

659
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:49.559
<v Speaker 4>He took it all right, come on down, I'm gonna

660
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 4>stay up here. You suit yourself. We've got lots of time.

661
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Adams got to just go away.

662
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Let me alone.

663
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 4>You know better than that. You killed the man. Now

664
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 4>come on you with a come down and will come up.

665
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 4>How do you thank Joe? Yeah? Give him a minute.

666
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Who wants to be a director? Yeah, let him figure

667
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 4>out the ending.

668
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>The story you have just heard was true. The names

669
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 2>were changed to protect the innocent.

670
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.880
<v Speaker 3>On February seventeenth, trial was held in Department eighty nine,

671
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Superior Court of the State of California in and for

672
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 3>the County of Los Angeles. In a moment the results

673
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 3>of that trial, Gerald S. Adams was tried and convicted

674
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.279
<v Speaker 3>of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to

675
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 3>life imprisonment in the State Penitentiary San Quentin, California. You

676
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.319
<v Speaker 3>have just heard drag met a series of authentic cases

677
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 3>from official files. Technical advice comes from the Office of

678
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department

679
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:13.119
<v Speaker 3>Technical Advisors. Captain Jack Donahoe, Sergeant Marty Wynn, Sergeant Vance Braser.

680
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Heard tonight were Ben Alexander wit Connor, Jack Krushan. Script

681
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 3>by John Robinson, music by Walter Schumann, Hell Giveney speaking.

682
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.880
<v Speaker 10>This is NBC, the nation's headquarters for election news.

683
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:43.240
<v Speaker 3>This is Andrew J.

684
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Graham, author of the web surface series Oh and a

685
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Man and his Wife. You're listening to the great detectives

686
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>of Old Time Radio.

687
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. Well, we've already seen the television version of

688
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this script. If you've watched on a video theater. Obviously

689
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we miss some of the visual visuals, but there's also

690
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:13.319
<v Speaker 1>some expanded dialogue, and I think the episode does a

691
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 1>very solid job of establishing a pretty traditional mystery that's

692
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>actually solved by the officers on site, and it's enhanced

693
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 1>by the way that the suspects and witnesses all have

694
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 1>their very own unique histories together the way that comes

695
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.680
<v Speaker 1>out works to create some question as to who done it.

696
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So overall a pretty good episode, all right, listener comments

697
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and feedback now, and I received an email from Stanley

698
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:50.519
<v Speaker 1>who said, first, I acquired an Amazon Echo and the

699
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Alexa search that comes with it pointed me at your

700
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Great Detectives podcast. I appreciate your insightful commentaries on the

701
00:28:59.039 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>various shows you.

702
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Well.

703
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>First of all, thanks so much. And this is the

704
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>second person who's contacted me and stated that Alexa has

705
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>connected them to the program, which means either that we

706
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 1>are very popular in Alexa's search algorithm and work with that,

707
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 1>or that Alexa has developed the ability to choose and

708
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:31.440
<v Speaker 1>we have our first AI fan. Either way, we appreciate

709
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>anything that brings people to the program. But he then

710
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 1>has a question as you surely know. There are many

711
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 1>stations that play old time radio shows. Some play old

712
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.319
<v Speaker 1>time commercials that are interesting. It's good to know that

713
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 1>lots of doctor smoke Chester Fields and recommend them, for example.

714
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 1>But it's a particular series of interstitials that I'm hoping

715
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you might have some information on. A voice that I

716
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 1>bet a lot of money on, is that of then Scully,

717
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>recently retired Dodger's announcer, apparently recorded a number of essays,

718
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>perhaps three minutes on the topics of United States military

719
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 1>medals and awards. They're fascinating in Scully's voice, as the

720
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>enjoyment and listening to them. I wonder if you might

721
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.279
<v Speaker 1>have some insight into these pieces. Perhaps suggestion is how

722
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 1>one could obtain the set or such of those that

723
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 1>are available. Thank you for your great work on gathering

724
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and presenting pieces of history. Well, thanks so much for

725
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the question, Stanley. It does seem that there was some

726
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 1>commercial on yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, that maybe what you

727
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>were talking about, because they do talk about military history.

728
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Not certainly if I'm aware of a specific place to

729
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.279
<v Speaker 1>get the recording. If it is like the stuff that

730
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.119
<v Speaker 1>was on yours, truly, Johnny dall. I can't remember a

731
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>specific episode of these would have been recorded by the

732
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Armed Forces Radio and Television Services. If any listener out

733
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>there knows more about this specific recording you might be

734
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>referring to, I'd love to hear from you. You can email

735
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 1>at me Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net. And

736
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 1>with that, we actually conclude the eight season of Great

737
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Detectives of Old Time Radio. Next week we'll cross the

738
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 1>line into our ninth year and bring you programs like

739
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.680

740
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Lost Persons, as well as revisiting some old favorites where

741
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>we have some new episodes that have emerged. It's gonna

742
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>be a great season and season eight's been enjoyable as well.

743
