From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Wednesday, June 3rd. It was hot in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out a burgerie detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Bernard. My name's Friday. We were on our way out from the office, and it was 9.56 AM when we got to 1592 Vine Street. Dodd's men's store. Excuse me? I wonder if you can tell us where you find Leonard Dodd's? Yeah, that's him. Tell him back here in the blue suit. Thank you, thank you. No, I just came in this morning. I know as the stuff was going on. Well, the whole shipment of squared coats haven't even been unpacked yet. Yeah, about two dozen of them. Well, white with a button down color. Yeah, I called the cops and the insurance company. Yeah, well, about 12,000. Well, a couple of customers just came in, honey. I'll call you back. Yeah. Well, don't worry about it. Yes, sir? Can I help you, gentlemen? Mr. Dodds? That's right. Police officers, this is Frank Smith. My name's Friday. How are you, sir? You reported a burglary this morning? Yeah, are you guys from Hollywood? No, sir, we're out of Central. I didn't think I'd seen you around here before. You want to tell us what happened? Yeah, come on back to the store room. When did you first discover the theft? Well, this morning when I came in, I went back here to unpack some new merchandise and I found most of it gone. Here, I'll get the door. Now, this is our store room. And we got a shipment from the east. The cases are kept here until we get a chance to unpack them and check the invoices. Let's see. Was all of the stolen merchandise taken from this room? I'm not sure about that. I do know that a shipment of suede jackets and whiskets was in here. It's gone now. A couple of cases of shirts, too. The only way I'd have it knowing if they took anything from out in the store itself would be to make a complete inventory. What do you estimate the loss at? $12,000. When was the last time you saw the merchandise in here? Yesterday afternoon. About what time? Well, I'd have to guess at that. I'd say about three or 3.30. How many doors are there to the store here? Just the front one, one in the back, opens into an alley. What if we can see the rear door? Sure. Back this way. One of the first things I thought out, too, but it was locked. You opened the door this morning, did you? Yes, I found the stuff gone, then I checked the door. It was still locked. You have an alarm system in the store? Yes, it didn't go off last night, so. I see. Here's the door. You can see for yourself that nothing wrong with the lock. How about it, Joe? No, there's no signs of it, Jimmy. Well, that's what I thought, too. I looked pretty close. Couldn't see any sign of where they got in. How about windows? Possibly got in through a window? No, I'm sure of that. Only two we've got are in the tailor shop. Here. You can see them up there, good 10 feet and barred. They couldn't have gotten in there. We'll have our crime lab take a look. Who has keys to the place? Well, I've got one. Yes, sir, but who else? Well, they're just me and Al. Al? Yeah, Al Baker. He's sort of the assistant manager. Whenever I'm not around, he takes charge of things. Can we see him? Well, you can when he comes in. Listen, I don't want you to give him any trouble. I'd trust him with anything, anything at all. I don't want you asking him a lot of embarrassing questions. All right, sir. How long has he worked for you? Oh, I guess it's been about five years. I don't think I could run the place without him. Sure wouldn't want to try. I see. Besides this Baker, how many people do you have working for you in the store? Three others, full-time. During rush periods, I call in extra help. Can you give us a list of their names? Yes, but you can be sure of one thing. What's that? Isn't anybody who works at the store do this? You seem pretty sure about that. Well, I know my people. All of them have been with me for a couple of years. I trust them all. I noticed that you're doing some remodeling here. How about the workman? Possible one of them took the merchandise? Mr. Friday, do you know how much $12,000 in clothes is? Yes, sir. I have an idea. The both of you couldn't carry it in one trip, not in a couple of trips. Whoever took those clothes was here a long time, and he worked hard getting them out of the store. Yes, sir. But about the workman? It couldn't have been one of them. None of them have keys to the place. We have to open up to let them in, and they leave before we close. They tried to get the things out of the store. One of us had obscene it. Couldn't possibly have been one of them. Frank, you want to call a crime lab? Sure. Can I use your phone? Yes. It's on the counter in front of the store. I just don't understand it. Sure. It just doesn't seem to be any way that could have gotten all of the clothes out, no way at all. Well, we must have found one. 1038, the crew from the crime lab arrived and went over the place. The whole store was checked, and all entrances and exits of the store were checked for fingerprints. Both the front door and the rear exit were examined, but there was no mark of a jimmy. The windows on the second floor were gone over, but the locks on them were secure, and there was no apparent way they could have been used We talked to the other clerks from the store. From them, we got approximately the same story that we'd obtained from the store manager. They verified that the merchandise had been on the premises at 3.30 p.m. the day before. None of them could say for certain that it was there after that, however. While Frank was checking with the members of the crew from the crime lab, I called the names of the employees into the record bureau for a check. Yeah, that's Baker, B-A-K-E-R, W-M-A, 46 years, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 156 pounds. Right. What? No, no visible marks this time. Right. Joe, I got something for you. Okay, if you'll check the names, I'll give you a call later. Right. What do you got? Come on upstairs. I got talking to Lee, and I figured from what they found the merchandise had to be taken out in the daytime. Lee goes along with that? Yeah. The way the doors look, if they were open, somebody used a key. Mm-hmm. He thinks like we do that somebody took the cases out, planted them, then picked the stuff up last night. What do you got up here? A window that opens out on the roof of the next building. Check the lock. It hasn't been tampered with. Yeah. Come on. Climb up. No bars on this one, huh? Uh-uh. Over here, right there behind the air shaft. Now what is it? Take a look. Shirts. In this one, suede coats. Is this all it was taken? No. Manager says it's about half. No sign of the rest of it, huh? No, must have taken that last night. Figures of the thief will be back tonight for the rest. Well, it'll be here. So will we. We asked the manager of the clothing store to keep watch on the cases of stolen merchandise while we made arrangements to place a stake out on them. 12.14 PM, the crime lab finished their investigation, and Frank and I talked with Lee Jones. He told us that he checked the fingerprints found on the doors and windows, but that all of them had been eliminated as they belonged to the members of the store staff or to the workmen. He told us that they'd found an impression of a tire print in the dirt of the alley next to the building where the stolen clothing had been found. He went on to say that they'd checked and found that the truck belonging to the plaster contractor had tires of the same type that had left the impression. The canvas was made of the tenants in the building next to the clothing store, but they could give us no new information on the possible identity of the thief. 3.52 PM, we checked back with the record bureau on the list of names of store employees. Yeah, when was that? How long? Did you get out clean? Nothing on the rest of them, huh? Yeah. OK, thanks. Bye. Anything? Yeah. They checked the names, came up with one possible. Yeah. He's assistant manager, Al Baker. He's done time for burglary. The record bureau had come up with the information that Alfred Roger Baker had been arrested in 1943 for burglary. He'd been tried and convicted on three counts. He'd spent a term in the state penitentiary at San Quentin, and he'd been released. Since that time, he apparently had led the life of an exemplary citizen. 4.07 PM, Frank and I took him to the office at the clothing store to talk to him. Sit down, Baker. Sure. What's this all about? You don't think I had anything to do with this burglary, do you? How many times have you been arrested? Why do you ask that? We just want an answer. You seen the record? We've seen it. You know without me telling you. We'd like to hear it from you. I was arrested once. I did the time. I'm clean since then. I thought when you did the time, it'll let you out. You didn't know anybody anything. Yes, that's right. Well, what do you guys happen on me for? I just work here. I mean, just because I did a hitch for burglary, that I had anything to do with this. We didn't say you did. Well, you sure are acting like I did, bringing me in here, talking about how I was arrested. Sure are acting like you think I had something to do with this one. Well, you look good for it. How do you figure that? You've got the only other key to the door. Look, I don't like to bring this up. Maybe you bright cops haven't thought about it. But who says Dodds couldn't have done it himself? What do you mean? Well, he's in trouble, big trouble. This would be an easy way out of it. All right, you tell us. Well, all the stuff is insured. Be pretty sweet for him to lift the merchandise, collect on the insurance, and then sell the stuff too. It'd come out real good. That's the way you got it figured, huh? I'm not trying to figure it anyway. All I know is that you guys are trying to wrap something around me that doesn't fit, and I want no part of it. From right down, it must be a couple of guys work here could have done it. Well, the way we got it, the thief used a key. Well, that brings us right back to Dodds. Well, if he's in trouble financially, then why is he doing all this remodeling? He hasn't got much choice. He's got a brightness place up. He's going to lose what business he's got. You check into him. You look it up. You see what I'm talking about makes a lot more sense than you hauling me in here. Can you account for your time last night? From when? From the time you left here. Yeah, I can give you every minute. All right, go ahead. I left here at 6.30. That's the time I always leave. Who was here when you left? You mean who locked up? That's right. Leonard, he always locks up, always. Where'd you go after you left? Went up to the corner and had a beer. That's like always too. Anybody in the bar know you? Yeah, the bartender and the waitress. They'll vouch for you? Sure they will. All right, go ahead. After I left there, I drove home. What time did you leave the bar? About 7.10. I had one beer, smoked two cigarettes, put a nickel in the nut machine on the bar, and went home. I left at 7.10. She wish I knew you were going to want to know all this. I'd have been more careful about remembering. I forgot how many nuts I got from the machine. I'll take a wild guess and say 14. I got no way of proving that. You'll have to take my word for it. What time did you get home? About 7.50. Where do you live? Out in the valley. Traffic's heavy going out at the pass that time, and I took me 10 minutes longer than it usually does. You approve when you got home? Yeah, I can. How? Talk to my wife. We've got a time clock on the wall just as you come in the door. I punch in and out. The time will be there. What about last night? I was home all night. I had dinner, sat around to watch television, went to bed. He didn't leave your house, huh? No, nothing the time I got home last night until I left this morning. Pretty bad, isn't it? How do you mean that? I can prove every minute of it. Look, you get off my back, cop. You start looking around. You'll come up with a lot of guys who had a lot more chance and a lot more reason to heist that stuff than I do. That won't be hard because I haven't got any. You sit tight, and I'll show you who sold that stuff. Huh? Wait a minute. Where are you going? Just over to the desk. I want to show you something. What? You'll see. Hold it just a minute. You show me what you want, and I'll get it for you. Hey, you cops, you never learn, do you? Open the top drawer. This one? Yeah. All right. I'll open that one. All right, what do you want? I have a folder right there. This one? Yeah, that's the one. Put it up on the desk. All right. Come on, open it. Yeah? I'll take a good look at the reason the stuff was stolen. What is it, Joe? The bills? There's nothing in the store that's paid for. Take a look at them yourself, here. Look here, pass due. Please remit. Your credit is important. Over due. Pass due. Look at the rest of them. They're all like that. There's no place in the country anymore that'll extend any credit to Dodds. Not one. You're looking for somebody who had a reason to steal the stuff. Well, there's your answer. You talk to Leonard Dodds. He's got the reason. Come in. Joe, Frank, say a minute. I'll take it. Tell him you got to lean on somebody. You lean on Leonard Dodds. He's the one. Don't come around here bothering me. Joe? Yeah? You might be telling the truth. Stuff on the roof. Yeah, it's gone. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. Meet Peter Lynn Hayes and Mary Healy, America's favorite husband and wife comedy team. They are typical of smokers everywhere who are saying, Chesterfield's for me. Mary says, I've smoked regular-sized Chesterfields for about seven years. Guess I ought to prove how I feel about Chesterfield's taste and mildness. Peter says, Chesterfield's for me, too. For as I'm concerned, King is the only size. And like Mary says, Chesterfield is the only cigarette. Either way you like them. I bet you'll find Chesterfield is best for you. Yes, Smoke America's most popular two-way cigarette. Regular and King-sized Chesterfield. The best cigarette ever made, and best for you. With the removal of the remaining packages on the roof, our main opportunity of catching the thief was gone. We questioned the people in the store about it. From them, we learned that the manager, Leonard Dodds, had brought the cases of clothing into the store himself. We talked to him and he offered as an explanation the fact that the insurance company wouldn't like him leaving the supply of expensive suede coats up on the roof. He went on to say that catching the thief was our business, but we were not to interfere with his running of the store in any attempt to apprehend them. We tried to question him regarding the accusations made by the salesman, Al Baker. He said they were ridiculous and that we should know better than to listen to the accusations made by an ex-convict. He went on to say that he resented the questions we put to him and that if we intended to continue, he would have to get in touch with his lawyer. We contacted the office and made arrangements for a stakeout to be set up on the roof of the building next door. And then Frank and I returned to the office to check further on Leonard Dodds. We checked with his bank and we found that he had several notes on the clothing store. The head of the loan department told us that Dodds' payments had been irregular and that at the time he was overdue on one of the notes. We contacted the insurance company and found that Dodds had made a claim on the stolen merchandise that morning and had requested payment as soon as possible. We turned a list of the stolen articles over to Pawn Shop Detail and asked them to see that the information would get into the hands of the second hand dealers in the city. 10, 15 p.m. Frank and I filled out the log and prepared to leave the office. You about ready? I'll be right over there. I got it. Burgary Friday. Yes, ma'am. Well, I'm not sure. No, the officer that handled the case isn't here right now. I wonder if I could take a message. Yes, ma'am, he'll call you when he gets in. All right, uh-huh. Yes, all right. If you wait just a minute, I'll transfer to the main jail. No, the main jail, they'll probably be able to tell you. Yes, that's right. Just a minute. Hold on, please. Would you give this call to 2949, please? That's right, the bill clerk. Thank you. Woman wants to know how much it's going to cost to get her husband out of jail. I got it. Burgary Friday. Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, that's right, we did. Yeah, the one was that. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, OK, we'll wait here. Right, bye. That looks like we've got it made, maybe. What do you mean? Radio car out in the Westlake District just picked up a couple of kids. Both of them were loaded down with clothes. Label on them is Dodd's clothing. The radio car officer had told me on the phone that he and his partner, while making a routine patrol of the area, had spotted two boys walking down the streets carrying large quantities of clothing. When they were stopped, the two suspects were unable to account for the clothes, and they were not able to tell the arresting officers where they'd gotten them. In checking the pair out, the officers had called Burgary Detail, and we'd gotten our first concrete lead to the thief. 1047 PM, the two suspects arrived at the office. Their names were checked through R&I, and they were both found to have misdemeanor records listing petty theft and attempted burglary. One of them, Walter Kramer, had been convicted on burglary charges, and had been sentenced to Preston School for boys. He was at the time on parole. While the other boy waited in the squad room, Frank and I questioned Kramer in the interrogation room. How old are you? 18. Where do you live? You know that already. What are you asking me again for? I told the other cop, gave him all the information. Where do you live? 2574 Brandon Street. You want to tell us where you got the clothing you had when you were picked up? You're smart cop. You figure it out. You on parole now? No, I got out clean. Are you still that way? That depends on how you read this one. Where'd you get those things? I found them. You expect us to buy that? I don't care if you buy it or not. It's the truth. You're pretty heavy, aren't you? I've been around. That time up at Preston didn't do you much good, did it? Be surprised what I learned up there. Not what you were sent there for. That depends on where you're sitting. You were picked up carrying a load of stolen clothes. You want to tell us where you got them? You tell me. Come on, kid. Where'd you get the clothes? You're going to play it that way, are you? There ain't any of it. Where were you yesterday? Starting when? From when you got up. I got to tell you all that? We want to hear it. Pretty dull. All right, go ahead. I got up about noon. You got a job? Yeah. Where? Around. What do you do? Nothing. I'm a philosopher. I study people. I just sit around all day and study people. How do you live? Stay with my folks. They pick up the tap. Go ahead. With what? What you did yesterday. Told you. I got up about noon. Had some breakfast. Then went over to Harry's. That's the boy you were picked up with? Yeah. I went over to his house, sat around and watched the television. How long were you at his house? Maybe six. Sat around and talked philosophy. Talked and watched the old movies. What'd you do then? Left and went out to study people. Where'd you go? Went down, played a couple of games at pool, had some tea. And after that? Went out to a movie. You got any way of proving that? Sure. Talk to Harry. See your alibi? Yeah. You talk to him. He'll tell you. You may not know this, but he's in the theft as deep as you are. I got some information for you, cop. Neither one of us is in on it at all. All right, get your coat. Where you taking me? City jail. You going to book me? He going to? Yeah. What charge? Suspicion 459 PC. Burglary? That's right. Come on. You mean that stuff is really stolen? That's right. You're telling me right? Yeah. It ain't true. Well, you tell us about it. No, I mean, Harry and me didn't steal the stuff, but at least not the first time. What do you mean by that? Well, we stole it. Yeah, you got us cold for that, but not the first time. Well, where'd you get it? From a garage. That's the truth. We stole the stuff from a garage. Where is the place? I'll show you. There's a lot more stuff there, a lot more. Clothing? Yeah. Whose garage is it? I don't know. Harry and me were walking around out there, and we saw this truck pull up. Guy got out and unloaded some packing cases. When was all this? Last night. The way the garage looked, though, it wasn't the first time. The place was loaded. A lot of shirts, coats, suits, all kinds of things. Harry and me figured that we might as well help ourselves, but we didn't steal the stuff originally, not the first time. What's the address where the garage is? I don't know. Up on Shortale Avenue near the lake. All right, we take you up there. We can point it out for us. Sure, I'll show you. I want to see him get his. Get it real good. What do you mean? Imagine having a garage full of stolen things. Terrible, that's what it is. Is that right? Sure. The important thing is that you know that we didn't steal it the first time. You've got to believe that. We didn't steal it the first time. Is there really a difference? 12.15 a.m. We talked to the suspect that had been picked up with Kramer. He gave us substantially the same story that we'd gotten from the first boy. They both agreed to take us out to the garage where they'd found the stolen merchandise. Before we left the office, we put in a call to the clothing store, but there'd been no report from the stakeout on the road. The two suspects directed us to drive out towards Silver Lake. We took the freeway out to Glendale Boulevard and turned right. We drove out to Loma Vista, and then we turned right again. The boys directed us up the hill and then onto a side street. We went about a half a block farther before they pointed out the house to us. We drove down the street and parked the car. Frank and I and the two suspects walked back to the house and into the rear of the yard. The two car garage in the rear of the building was unlocked. We went in, scattered around the place we found several large packing cases of clothing. The labels on them were from some of the most exclusive men stores in the city. There was no question about it. This was the plant for the stolen merchandise. Frank stood by the back door of the house, and I went up on the front porch and rang the bell. Yeah? You're Martin Hepburn, aren't you? Yeah, do I know you? My name's Friday, police department. Oh, yeah, I met you over at Dodge. What is it, some more questions? Yeah, a few. Kind of late to come around. Well, maybe a little. I'm just going to turn in. Can you wait a little morning? I can come down the police department. No, I'm afraid we're going to have to talk tonight. Oh, OK, come on in. Thank you. Anybody else in the house? Just my wife and the kids. Where are they? Upstairs, they're all asleep. I told you I was just going to turn in. That garage out back, is that belong to you? What? The garage out in the back of the lot, is it yours? Yeah, that's mine, why? What do you use it for? What do you use a garage for? I keep the truck there. Well, where's the truck tonight? I left it at a service station down Glendale Boulevard. Evan agrees, and you'll have to change, why? Anybody else use the garage besides you? No. Everything in it belong to you? You might, if I call my lawyer. Well, you can do that from downtown. You arresting me? Yes, sir. You found the stuff, huh? We found it. That a cigarette? Yeah, for sure. I guess I should have gotten it out of the garage sooner. Figured on the first thing in the morning. You talked to me this morning at Dodds, I should have known. Should have known right then. I didn't think you'd figure it this way. All right, come on and get your coat. Yeah, just let me finish the cigarette. You should have figured it going real good. Want to hear about it? All right. Well, I'm a plastering contractor, you know that. Yeah, you told us that this morning. Well, I bid on the jobs. All the contractors submit bids on how much we'll do the work for, you know what I mean? I always got in with a low bid to try the other contractors crazy. Never could figure out how I could come out on it. You see it though, don't you? Well, you tell me. Well, you see if a job would cost me, say, $3,500 to do, I'd put in a bid for $2,500. I always get the job, and then I'd steal the other 1,000 merchandise, see? That way, I could come out and nobody'd get hurt. What about the store owner? I weren't sure. Only buddy in the middle was the insurance company, so you see, nobody really got hurt. You about finished with that cigarette now? Yeah, just about. You're pretty lucky, you know? Is that right? Yeah, sure, this was going to be the last time. I figured that after this, I'd be able to go it straight. Got my equipment all paid for, money in the bank. Figured I could go it straight. This was going to be the last time. Well, you were right, weren't you? Hey, you mind telling me something? What's that? How'd you tag me? How'd you find out? We caught a couple of kids breaking into the garage. They'd stolen some of the clothes. They were picked up, and they pointed a place out to us. Kids? That's right. How about that? That's really terrible, isn't it? What is? This younger generation, I had a legitimate reason. I was just trying to come out. Wasn't anybody going to get hurt my way? But those kids, I hope you're going to put them away for a long time, little thieves. Come on, get your coat, let's go. That's just awful. No sense of honesty at all. I sure hate to think of what the world's coming to. You want to tell me something, Hepman? Sure, what do you want to know? Well, you said you just stole the difference between what you agreed to do the job for and what it really ought to be. Am I got it right? Yeah, just the difference. Well, you hit the dodge store pretty hard, didn't you? $12,000 worth? Well, you see, that was a kind of a deal. Well, I didn't get anything on the last job, not a thing. So I had to make up for it, you see what I mean? Yeah. I had to come out someway. Nobody'd expect me to take a complete loss, would they? I wouldn't know about that. I just wanted what I had coming. Yeah, well, you're going to get it this time. The story you've just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On October 17th, trial was held in Department 89, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial. Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you, George Veneman. Friends, the next time you buy cigarettes, I wish you'd give our Chesker fields a try. Now, that's all we ask. Just try them, because these cigarettes do a better job of selling themselves than anything I could say. Either way you buy them, regular or king size, I know you'll like them, because they smoke mild and they're really satisfying. Join the millions of smokers who've made Chesterfield, America's most popular two-way cigarette. And when you do, I'm convinced you'll agree that Chesterfields are best for you. Mark Naperal Hepman was tried and convicted of burglary in the second degree four counts and received sentence as prescribed by law. Burglary in the second degree is punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a period of not less than one or more than 15 years. Or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year. Walter James Kramer and Samuel Arthur Nicholson were tried and convicted of burglary in the first degree. Burglary in the first degree is punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a period of not less than five years.

At last, a filter tip cigarette with plenty of good taste and a pure non-mineral filter. You get effective filtration because only L and M filters use alpha cellulose, entirely pure and harmless to health. It's the light and mild smoke. Much more flavor, much less nicotine. This is it.
