At the time 49 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.280 that Walter Minis began his career of forgery and impersonation, 50 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.879 he was employed as a bookkeeper with a large. 51 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.479 Casualty insurance company. Minnis was a bachelor forty years old, 52 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.240 with an uneventful background, few friends, and seemingly very few interests. 53 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.520 He was quite spoken, well dressed, and, when necessary, could 54 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.080 assume an air of importance. In short, Walter Minis could 55 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.199 easily pass as the executive type. Alright, girls, I'll do it, 56 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.360 and look, I don't want anybody late for the dinner show? 57 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:03.960 Do you understand? 58 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.680 Nobody? 59 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.479 Oh, Beverly, I want to see you in the office. 60 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:17.479 Arnie, I'm sorry, I was labors, Ernie, cut it out? 61 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.000 Were you supposing somebody came in? 62 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:22.560 How come he will late? 63 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.319 He took me to carters after lunch.

You're really gonna have a trunk full of 67 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.719 that stuff before you get through? 68 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.439 Yeah, I guess so, Arnie.

But I did find out he lives in Boston 75 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.919 and he makes his money out of the stock market. 76 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.840 That's why he comes to New York every couple of weeks. 77 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.400 You're pretty sure he isn't married. 78 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.199 He doesn't act like the married ones. Selma was telling 79 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.360 me maybe the club's going to close. 80 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:03.199 Is she just talking? 81 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:03.479 Nah? 82 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.759 No, she's right for once.

It's 85 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.199 about three or four thousand. 86 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.719 Well that's peanuts, beb. 87 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.240 If I want to get out of this town someday 88 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.840 go to the coast, open a spot on my own. 89 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.680 It'll take a lot of door sure will. 90 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.240 How about you'll marrying water? What I've been thinking about it? 91 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.639 Guy like that could give you a nice allowance. And 92 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.120 then while I was setting up a spot on. 93 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.879 The coast, we're not serious? 94 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.920 Why not you could stick. 95 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.480 With them till I started catching on. Then you could 96 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.839 go to Reno and shake him, maybe even get a 97 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:35.720 nice uncle of alimony. 98 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.000 Which the matter with that, I don't know. I never 99 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.319 figured on anything like that. 100 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:42.839 Well, so figure on it. 101 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.120 Do an he throw his door on you get easy? 102 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.560 Get three four hundred a week allowance. 103 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.399 I guess i'd have to live in Boston, wouldn't I? 104 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.160 So it's only temporary. 105 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.000 Who kids, I'd miss you, Arnie. 106 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.920 We could talk on the telephone. 107 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.160 Woudn't you miss me? Of course? I guess Boston wouldn't 108 00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.079 be too bad for a while. 109 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.639 Anyway, nothing's too bad if money comes with it. 110 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.160 I guess you're right on He's sure. 111 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.079 I'm right anyway, every girl should get married at least 112 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.879 once when the right bank account comes in love. 113 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:10.279 Yeah, what is it? 114 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:16.600 Jes one on the phone?

Okay, 116 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:21.480 in two hours. 117 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.680 He's got a call you on the phone. 118 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.319 I wish I didn't have to see him tonight, Arnie. 119 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.240 Do I have to? 120 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:27.000 Yeah? 121 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:33.600 Yeah, you have to go ahead talk Okay, Hello, water darling, 122 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.240 how are you? 123 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.759 In January nineteen fifty one, and audit of the books 124 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.240 of the Tri State Insurance Company uncovered the loss of 125 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.079 thirty eight thousand dollars. Since the company's business covered more 126 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.399 than one state, the matter was turned over to our 127 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.560 bureau by local authorities. In an interview with the head 128 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.560 bookkeeper of the company, we began to suspect forgery as 129 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.319 a part of the embezzlement. Mister Matthews, would you look 130 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:03.639 at this bank statement for October? 131 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:03.959 Please? 132 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.680 Do you see those withdraws that we've marked in blue pencil? Yes, 133 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.519 I say, we've been over all of your October checks, 134 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.680 mister Matthews, and we can't find any which correspond to 135 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.680 those withdraws. 136 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.199 I don't see how that could be. 137 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.560 Neither it we, mister Matthews, especially since all your checks 138 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.360 are numbered and there aren't any missing that Obviously, no 139 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.279 one could take money out of the bank but out. 140 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.040 A check, That's right. 141 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.959 So we've come to an equally obvious conclusion. Someone forged 142 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.399 those checks then destroyed the forgeries after they were returned 143 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.120 here to the company. Do you think that's possible, mister Matthews. 144 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.319 How many employees are there in this book keeping department, 145 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.959 just under one hundred ninety six, savely, and how many 146 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.000 would have access to a company checkbook? Well, actually only 147 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.399 a half dozen. But I suppose anyone could get hold 148 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.040 of company checks if he tried hard enough. Well, our 149 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.759 present belief is that someone did, mister Matthews. Someone cashed 150 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.680 those amounts underlined in blue pencil, then somehow destroyed the 151 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.879 cancel checks before they could be into on the books. 152 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.600 That would probably be someone in my department, we do 153 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.639 you think so? We'd like to see your personnel records 154 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.040 on all of these employees, mister Matthews, as soon as possible. 155 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:30.560 This land, This land was made for you. It's a 156 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.000 nice place to visit. An eighteen million, six hundred two 157 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.240 thousand people copy wrong. They think it's a nice place 158 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.319 to live too. Some live up north, in the shadow 159 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.920 of Mount Tomapias, where the fog rolls in like ghostly 160 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.600 tumbleweed to envelop the Golden gate Bridge. Some live down south, 161 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.560 in the shadows of the movie Giants, where the small 162 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.600 rolls in to envelope everything. All of them live in California, 163 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.639 a magic state. But this magic isn't merely the result 164 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.759 of the magic lantern. It was present long before the 165 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.439 first director shouted action, even before John Marshall whispered gold. 166 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.600 California's magic lies largely in its contrast. Here, entire fields 167 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.000 blow yellow with poppies or live barren in waste. Here, 168 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.240 the temperature may rise to one hundred thirty four degrees 169 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.920 or spink to forty five below. Here we find the 170 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.839 highest point of the United States outside of Alaska, Mount Whitney, 171 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.799 and the lowest Death Valley. Here is the serenity of 172 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:37.399 the missions and the near madness of the freeways. California's 173 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.639 many facets give its residents an attitude described by old Henry, 174 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.440 Californians are a race of people. They are not merely 175 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.960 inhabitants of a state. 176 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.279 As we were beginning along and detailed check up on 177 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.960 the financial background and habits of all the employees of 178 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.840 the bookkeeping department, Waltervenis was continuing his pose as a 179 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.279 wealthy stockbroker, but like many non professionals in crime and 180 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.720 this's success, made him careless after a while. You're sure, 181 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.080 mister walder Minister isn't registered here at the hotel for 182 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.919 quite sure, and he never has been, not for the 183 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:16.559 last year's Oh thanks, that's what I wanted to know. 184 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:19.919 But I don't get it on he why'd you go 185 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:20.559 to the hotel? 186 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.200 Don't you want to marry the guy?

I make them out like they 303 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.840 were for a claim adjustment. Go on, and after I 304 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.840 cast them, I weight for them to come through from 305 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.759 the bank, and when they come through, I get rid 306 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.080 of them. That's a pretty smart stunt, Water, Beverly, Yeah, well, 307 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.600 as you're gonna make us all a drink. We got 308 00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:04.480 a lot to talk about with water. As we continued 309 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.759 checking financial backgrounds on the Tri State Employees Bank deposits 310 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.039 in the name of Walter Minis attracted our attention. With 311 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.279 no other visible source of income than his salary, Minns 312 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.840 was banking as much as eight hundred to one thousand 313 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:33.399 dollars a month. This land, this land was made. 314 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.240 Will. 315 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.759 Stay Pennsylvania, and he took care of Philadelphia. The Liberty 316 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.559 Dell with Saturday evening posts. And Benjamin Franklin Distill with 317 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.639 its steady floor of steel, or the Pennsylvania Dutch their 318 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.799 homely philosophy and hardy meals. Seldom do we think of 319 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:54.600 two of Pennsylvania's most renowned sons, probably because they concerned 320 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.480 themselves more with the South than with their native state. 321 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.279 Daniel Boone, for instance, was born in Burke's County, but 322 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.799 he blazed such a trail throughout the South in the 323 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.679 West that the place of his birth is all but forgotten. 324 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:12.159 And Stephen Foster his birthplace was Lawrenceville, though he longed 325 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:15.279 for his old Kentucky home and claimed that he came 326 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.679 from Alabama with his banjo on his knees. The next 327 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:24.720 time we count that Pennsylvania has bookbinders and Hershey bars, 328 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.639 and the world's largest potato chip factory, we might also 329 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.559 recall what the Keystone state has given to the rest 330 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.000 of America, James Buchanan and the United States Flag, little 331 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:42.279 League Baseball and professional football, and Gettysburg, a final resting 332 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:48.159 place dedicated in virtue, liberty, and independence for those who 333 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.000 gave their lives that our nation might live. 334 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.559 One whole month and only gives us a lofty thousand bucks. 335 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:56.600 Didn't you tell them what I said? 336 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:56.919 Doubly? 337 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.519 Sure, I tell them what I said. He's gotta get 338 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.240 more money. You'll turn him over to the car. 339 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:02.200 So what do you say? 340 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.399 Uh, the same old crying act, all about how could 341 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:06.120 I deceive him? 342 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.639 How much he loved me? Oh, Honnie, I'm sick of. 343 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.679 This whole routine. We could he eat toy? 344 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:11.759 Yeah? 345 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.799 I know, bet, I'll tell you what you hit him 346 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.159 for five gees moore. We'll quit, go to the coast 347 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.360 and see what we can take up there. 348 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:18.840 How about it? 349 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.720 You mean it, honey? Sure you can lay it. 350 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.559 On the line. This. Tell him we'll take. 351 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:24.759 The fire and won't bother no more. 352 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.480 And if he says no. 353 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.840 I don't think he will Beverly, just keep in minding him. 354 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.159 There's that ten years in jail hanging over his head. 355 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.519 He'll start crying again. 356 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.159 You can stand a little crying for a train ride west, 357 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:35.519 can't you. 358 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.960 I guess so it's good. 359 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:46.399 We'll get the work on it. A course, surveillance on 360 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.279 Walter Menis gave us the proof we needed. Menis was 361 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.600 picked up while catching a company check made out for 362 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.320 a fictitious insurance claim. During the long night of questioning, 363 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.360 Minies admitted very little about his elaborate scheme, but he 364 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.559 did seem greatly concerned about another aspect of his arrest. 365 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.119 I'd just like to know who turned me in. 366 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.079 That's all, mister Minis. I've told you several times. No 367 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.039 one turned you in. We've been watching you for a 368 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.599 long time. 369 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.720 That's a lie. She did it. She said she was 370 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:13.599 going to if I didn't get her a five thousand. 371 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.519 Who are you talking about, mister Minnis. 372 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.279 You'll know, all right, just yesterday she said she was 373 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.880 going to do it. She wouldn't believe me when I 374 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:22.559 said I couldn't get all that money at once. 375 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.319 She wouldn't wait. Mister Minis, she's no good.
