his imagination ran away with him. What would be only
a minor detail through an adult witness assumed tremendous proportions
of Norman's young mind. He told us his story three times.
Each time he elaborated a little more, until what he
claimed was the truth could only have been figurements of
a small child's imagination. Then and I, together with Gonzales

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Guys do, or sometimes it takes more than a gun. Norman,
What do you mean just because you've got a gun,
doesn't mean you're.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
A copy Well what does.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Just a minute, since.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Here you go, Norman, A good cop uses this more

Speaker 4 (09:14):
It's mine, official official.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
Can I hold it?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Go ahead? It's yours.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
When I wear this, I'm a real detective.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Well that's part of it. The other part is to

Speaker 12 (09:29):
Well, foe man like I said, and they all had machine.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I thought you said you were a detective now I am. Well,
a good detective has to remember exactly what he sees,
not something he may.
Speaker 12 (09:39):
Except it's not very scary that way.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
No, it's no use to he can't get his story straight.
Speaker 12 (09:45):

Speaker 4 (09:48):
All right, Norman, you tell us. Huh.
Speaker 12 (09:51):
I was on my way home from the store. I
saw this truck stop down the street.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
What did the truck look like?
Speaker 12 (09:56):
I don't know what it was A funny cotter truck
had of wood back.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Do you mean like a dump truck kinda?
Speaker 12 (10:02):
But it was a small truck owned kind of card like.
He took off the back Pard and put wood boards
like a truck.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You mean, whoever owned the truck cut the back end
out and made it look like a truck.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's the way it looked. Anyway, this truck
stopped by this Chinese man and a man died out,
and the man started to hit this man, and the
man follow him a sidewalk, and the man kept hitting
him and hitting him as hard as anything. What was
he hitting him with with his handkerchief?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
There he goes again.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No, I don't know. How about that chest.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Could tie in?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Go on, Norman, Well that's all I saw. No, No,
I mean after the man hit him, what'd you do? Oh?
Speaker 12 (10:36):
Well, he got a bunch of stuff from this man's
pocket and he went into the truck and he speed
it away.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Norman, here a good detective. I want you to think
real hard. Now, do you know what a license number is?
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Good?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Do you think you could remember the numbers on that truck?
Speaker 12 (10:52):
But if I knew what they were, I could, and
school wood just having numbers now, I only know if
the seven, but there were two sevens in it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Getting all this, Jess, Yeah, keep them Norman, you've helped
us a lot. Can you remember what the man on
the truck looked like.
Speaker 12 (11:05):
He had a big head, and he looked mean.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
All right, just one more thing, now, can you remember
the color of that truck?
Speaker 12 (11:11):
It looked black, but the blackboard had black and white scrapes.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I don't know how you did it, Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
How by me too?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
All right, Norman, your mother's waiting outside for it. You
can go home now, you're a real detective.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Can I wear my bougs down?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
You bet you can?
Speaker 12 (11:28):
Okay, say, as soon as I rash somebody, will you put.
Speaker 13 (11:33):
Him in jail.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
With the help of an outdated police bad it's no
longer official. We had the statement of a six year
old boy with a healthy imagination.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We had an idea he was telling us the truth,
but we had no way of being certain. Since he
was the only witness, we had to accept his word
and hope that he was putting us on the right track.
The quickest way to make sure was to see if
some of the details and little Norman Fisher's story would
check out. Jessicin Zalees and Manual opinion. It's at the
job of trying to locate a homemade pickup truck with
two sevens in the license number. They started by checking
(12:08):
all the late three point eight forums, the vehicle fast
and impound reports. The next morning, Ben and I called
the General hospital and talked with doctor Sebastian. He told
us that the victim, George Kuan, had improved sufficiently to
allow a brief interview. And it was ten fourteen am
when we got to ward See General Hospital.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Doctor tells us you're a little better this morning, mister Gaun.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Yes, sir, I shall be.
Speaker 15 (12:29):
All right, although it is quite painful at times.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
We're excited about you, mister Kuan, but we've got to
have a little more information on the robbery.
Speaker 15 (12:37):
Oh, I will tell you all I can, sir. I
should like to recover the missing jade pieces.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
It is a great loss to me.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Did you get any kind of a look at the
man who hits you?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (12:47):
He attacked me from behind, not me to the pavement.
I made an.
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Attempt to get to my feet, but he struck me
again and again here at the vase.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Of my neck.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If you didn't see him at all in a new side?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Did not?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Do you have any idea who could have done this?
Speaker 15 (13:03):
Unfortunately, no, I cannot think of anyone what was stolen
from you?
Speaker 8 (13:08):
We know it was jade, but can you give us
a more detailed description?

description of the hold up truck.

We still could not be absolutely certain that the impounded
truck was the one we were looking for.

The net result of checking impound reports doesn't always result
in the apprehension of a suspect, but In this case,
we were lucky the driver had been picked up for
drunk driving. It was one thirty pm when we checked

Maybe?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Back here? Hm, Friday and Romaro were here right? The
Fisher kid just identified Rasmussen's picture.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The identification of Wilburt Rasmussen by six year old Norman
Fisher was far from sufficient.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
To take the case to court. We had to have evidence,
lots of it.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Rassmussen had been given a thorough shakedown his apartment and
the truck. There was no sign of the stolen jade rings.
Gonzales told us that the truck had come from the
You Drive truck rental on Figueroa Street.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
We checked with mister.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Crockett with You Drive.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Let me have another look at that picture.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Boys, Yeah, here you are.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Would you say his name was Rasmussen Wilbur Rasmusten.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
You want to know if you're rented a truck from
the swing yesterday? Maybe the day before?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
No, not this fellow never seen.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Him before we left You Drive.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
We checked over the rental contract on the truck in question.
The deposit check for the truck was signed by missus
Iones Curtis. The truck was checked out at six a m.
The rental contract, the actual release form showing to whom
the vehicle had been rented, was signed by Harry Wilson.
Rassmussen's name did not appear on any of the usual
rental forms. The manager of You Drive was positive that
(20:17):
he had not rented a truck to Rasmussen. We drove
out to nineteen fifty seven Harper Annex. This time we
found missus Ayns Curtis at home.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
I'm terribly sorry about mister Kohn. Did they have everything
he needs in the hospital, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
How long did you say this.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Harry Wilson had been working for you six or eight weeks.
Speaker 13 (20:36):
But I'm sure you're wrong about him.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
We're not accusing him of anything, Missus Curtis. We just
want to talk to him.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
He certainly came to me well recommended. He was a
nice man.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
When is the last time you signed?
Speaker 13 (20:47):
Day before? Yesterday? He asked for his check, said he
was quitting. Told him I was sorry to see him go.
I'm anxious to get that guest house finished.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
How about rasmuscle Missus Curtis, how long has he been
with you?
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Wilbri's been with me for about seven months. Good worker,
but he drinks too much. Feel sorry for him.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
You've rented trucks from me?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
You drive coming right along?
Speaker 13 (21:09):
Oh, yes, from mister Crockett. We had to have a
truck to haul our buildings supplies. I'm saving an awful
lot of money contracting this myself.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's a great saving, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Uh the deposit on his last rental? Did you give
that check to Wilson or to Erasmusen?
Speaker 13 (21:23):
I sent both of them down to pick it up.
Like I say, Wilby's been drinking rather heavily lately, and
I think Harry is the better driver of the two.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Do you know which one of those men was driving
the truck about five thirty in the afternoon day before yesterday?
Speaker 13 (21:36):
How would I know, that's, sergeant. All I know is
that I sent both of them down. I told Harry
to drive.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think missus Curtis, were either of those men present
the day you sold the jade rings to mister Kwan?
Speaker 13 (21:47):
No, they have nothing to do with my gym business. Whatever.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Did either of these men know about mister Kwan's purchase.
Speaker 13 (21:53):
That's possible they knew he was here. I'm sure they
saw him come in since time possible if they might
have overheard something.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Why did mister Kwan leave your house but five o'clock.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
By time the two men go after the truck.
Speaker 13 (22:07):
Oh, they picked that up early in the morning.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Mister Krocky down and you drive, says it. Only Harry
Wilson checked out the truck because he's never seen Rasland before.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
That's entirely possible. Like I say, they might well have
made other arrangements.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Were there any other people present when mister Kwan bought that.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
Jade, Yes, there were two other buyers. They were bidding
to the thumb rings too. Mister Kron had the high bed,
so I sold them to Hymn.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
What if we could have their names?
Speaker 13 (22:32):
I certainly I'll write them down for you, Miss Curtis.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Do you have any idea where we might locate Harry Wilson?
Speaker 13 (22:38):
He told me he was going to Mexico, said he
had friends down there.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Well, thank you, Miss Curtis, you've been very helpful.
Speaker 13 (22:44):
Are you sure there isn't anything mister Kron needs.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yes, ma'am? Two jade rings.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Missus zion As Curtis gave us a detailed.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Description of Harry Wilson.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She also gave us the names and addresses of the
two other buyers who were present when mister George Kwan
made his purchase. We checked them out and found them
to be equally as reputable as Missus Curtis.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
They could tell us nothing of the robbery.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We went back to the office and got out on
a TV and a radiogram on Harry Wilson from the
description given us by Missus Curtis. Steakouts re maintained at
Wilber Rasmus's apartment and at the home of missus As Curtis.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
It was four thirty PM.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
When we got to the second floor of the Old
City Jail building, the crime lab Lee Jones had the
evidence laid.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Out for us.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Now any thing about the handkerchief, boy is sent the
bloodstains old ones along.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
With the new ones.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
How does that figure?
Speaker 10 (23:31):
We know how the new ones were made when the
handkerchief was filled with buckshot and used on quand the
old ones?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
How to tell?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
How old did you say they were? The handkerchief has
been through the laundry a few times. Stains didn't come out.
Laundry marks right here, I don't see him. Man used
peerless laundry Infra red marking system.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
Let me show.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Him infrared lampley.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Yeah, there's your marking Penya trace it down.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Who's it belonged to? Man used the name of Harry Wilson.
There's nothing to do now but wait for some.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Word on Harry Wilson. The steakhouts continued. We requested wilbur
Rath Muscle and we talked again with Missus Curtis and
George Kwan.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
It was Tuesday, December the eighth. We checked in for
work at eight am. Fring. Guess hi, Joe, where's been communications?
Getting a mail?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Any word on the new chief that you take it.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
No nothing, but you're a gift. Oh I think that
round a good man.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Maybe Sloan's a good man too.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Can't you come in here?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
What maybe you'd like to take a little airplane trip.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
What do you got? Shy and wyoming.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
They picked up Harry Wilson.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Two days later, Thursday, December the tenth, Harry Wilson was
returned to the Los Angeles County Jail and booked on
suspicion of robbery. We checked with Lieutenant Frank Cunningham and
the Record Bureau. From Wilson's fingerprints, he ran a make
on him. Harry Wilson was an alias. We found out
that he had lengthy records of arrests and jail terms
for robbery, burglary, and grand larceny. Mister Crockett at you
(24:56):
drive identified Wilson's picture.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It was a two time loser.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
It's up to you, Wilson. It can go hard for
you easy.
Speaker 16 (25:03):
I'm in the spot.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Huh, you're in the spot. Play it out for him, Jess.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
So I'll stack against you, Wilson. We know you're rented
the truck. You knew corners of missus Curtis house. Your
handkerchief was found at the scene of the crime.
Speaker 16 (25:13):
He wouldn't believe me if I said I didn't do it.
I mean that kind of evidence. How canly I didn't.
I don't know if I can prove it, but I didn't.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
If you didn't, will help you prove it.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
First.
Speaker 16 (25:22):
You got to believe me, you know why. Yeah, I've
had it twice, once morning and for life.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
All right, you got it figured? Not what he got
to say.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Rassmusen did it.
Speaker 16 (25:32):
He knocked onawn over. Where were you buying my ticket
for Cheyenne? I didn't want any part of it.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
How do you come for that handkerchief?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
It was mine?
Speaker 16 (25:39):
But Rasmussen had it. He got his finger one day
in the job. I loaned it to.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Him, and that chicks old bloodstains new ones.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
All right, let's pick.

Picked up and brought in. After intense cross questioning, we

face of this testimony, he broke completely.

He admitted beating George Klan and taking the jade thumb rings.
He said he received two hundred dollars from missus Curtis
for the job.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He requested that he'd be allowed to turn state's evidence.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Missus Aynaz Curtis was brought to the interrogation room.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
Of course, you gentlemen have proof to substantiate all these accusations.

Wasn't that enough?
Speaker 13 (26:39):
Not when I could make sixteen?
Speaker 6 (26:41):

Six years old Joe.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
His name was Norman Eugene Fisher, who was six years
of age last April. Like all young boys of his age,
his imagination ran away with him. What would be only
a minor detail through an adult witness assumed tremendous proportions
of Norman's young mind. He told us his story three times.
Each time he elaborated a little more, until what he
claimed was the truth could only have been figurements of
a small child's imagination. Then and I, together with Gonzales
(07:34):
and Penya, talked with a boy for another hour. We
were getting tired, but Norman enjoyed his position as star
witness once more.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Oh, it must be something you'd like to have, one
thing that maybe now that you don't have.
Speaker 12 (08:39):
Will you give it to me?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Well? If I can. What do you want?
Speaker 12 (08:43):
I like your gun?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Well, what do you want a gun for?
Speaker 12 (08:47):
I want to put people in jail like you.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Guys do, or sometimes it takes more than a gun. Norman,
What do you mean just because you've got a gun,
doesn't mean you're.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
A copy Well what does.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Just a minute, since.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Here you go, Norman, A good cop uses this more
than a gun. Heee, it's a real police badge.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It's mine, official official.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
Can I hold it?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Go ahead? It's yours.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
When I wear this, I'm a real detective.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Well that's part of it. The other part is to
tell us what you really saw today? Now, how about it?
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Huh?
Speaker 12 (09:29):
Well, foe man like I said, and they all had machine.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I thought you said you were a detective now I am. Well,
a good detective has to remember exactly what he sees,
not something he may.
Speaker 12 (09:39):
Except it's not very scary that way.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
No, it's no use to he can't get his story straight.
Speaker 12 (09:45):
Oh yes I can. I'm a detective now when I
know what happens?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
All right, Norman, you tell us. Huh.
Speaker 12 (09:51):
I was on my way home from the store. I
saw this truck stop down the street.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
What did the truck look like?
Speaker 12 (09:56):
I don't know what it was A funny cotter truck
had of wood back.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Do you mean like a dump truck kinda?
Speaker 12 (10:02):
But it was a small truck owned kind of card like.
He took off the back Pard and put wood boards
like a truck.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You mean, whoever owned the truck cut the back end
out and made it look like a truck.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's the way it looked. Anyway, this truck
stopped by this Chinese man and a man died out,
and the man started to hit this man, and the
man follow him a sidewalk, and the man kept hitting
him and hitting him as hard as anything. What was
he hitting him with with his handkerchief?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
There he goes again.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No, I don't know. How about that chest.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Could tie in?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Go on, Norman, Well that's all I saw. No, No,
I mean after the man hit him, what'd you do? Oh?
Speaker 12 (10:36):
Well, he got a bunch of stuff from this man's
pocket and he went into the truck and he speed
it away.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Norman, here a good detective. I want you to think
real hard. Now, do you know what a license number is?
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Good?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Do you think you could remember the numbers on that truck?
Speaker 12 (10:52):
But if I knew what they were, I could, and
school wood just having numbers now, I only know if
the seven, but there were two sevens in it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Getting all this, Jess, Yeah, keep them Norman, you've helped
us a lot. Can you remember what the man on
the truck looked like.
Speaker 12 (11:05):
He had a big head, and he looked mean.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
All right, just one more thing, now, can you remember
the color of that truck?
Speaker 12 (11:11):
It looked black, but the blackboard had black and white scrapes.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I don't know how you did it, Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
How by me too?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
All right, Norman, your mother's waiting outside for it. You
can go home now, you're a real detective.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Can I wear my bougs down?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
You bet you can?
Speaker 12 (11:28):
Okay, say, as soon as I rash somebody, will you put.
Speaker 13 (11:33):
Him in jail.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
With the help of an outdated police bad it's no
longer official. We had the statement of a six year
old boy with a healthy imagination.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We had an idea he was telling us the truth,
but we had no way of being certain. Since he
was the only witness, we had to accept his word
and hope that he was putting us on the right track.
The quickest way to make sure was to see if
some of the details and little Norman Fisher's story would
check out. Jessicin Zalees and Manual opinion. It's at the
job of trying to locate a homemade pickup truck with
two sevens in the license number. They started by checking
(12:08):
all the late three point eight forums, the vehicle fast
and impound reports. The next morning, Ben and I called
the General hospital and talked with doctor Sebastian. He told
us that the victim, George Kuan, had improved sufficiently to
allow a brief interview. And it was ten fourteen am
when we got to ward See General Hospital.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Doctor tells us you're a little better this morning, mister Gaun.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Yes, sir, I shall be.
Speaker 15 (12:29):
All right, although it is quite painful at times.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
We're excited about you, mister Kuan, but we've got to
have a little more information on the robbery.
Speaker 15 (12:37):
Oh, I will tell you all I can, sir. I
should like to recover the missing jade pieces.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
It is a great loss to me.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Did you get any kind of a look at the
man who hits you?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (12:47):
He attacked me from behind, not me to the pavement.
I made an.
Speaker 15 (12:52):
Attempt to get to my feet, but he struck me
again and again here at the vase.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Of my neck.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If you didn't see him at all in a new side?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Did not?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Do you have any idea who could have done this?
Speaker 15 (13:03):
Unfortunately, no, I cannot think of anyone what was stolen
from you?
Speaker 8 (13:08):
We know it was jade, but can you give us
a more detailed description?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Oh sah, I lost two thumb rings.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Very rare collectors items thumb rings. And how much were
they worth? What you say?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Well, I paid eight thousand for the two rings. I
wonder if you could describe them to us.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Both rings were.
Speaker 15 (13:26):
Relics of the time when the Chinese archer drew his
hunting bow with his special thumb ring.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Any particular identifying marks on them?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Oh? Uh?
Speaker 15 (13:36):
They both have linings of fine gold to fit them to.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
The fingers of the new owners.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Who were the new owners?
Speaker 15 (13:42):
I had just purchased them yesterday before I was rocked.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I was on my way to San.
Speaker 15 (13:48):
Francisco to show them to prospective by us.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Who did you buy the rings from? Mister Corning?
Speaker 15 (13:53):
Missus Inez curtis a very reputable dealer.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
We have done business for many years.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
If we could have her business addressing?
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Uh, she has her office at her home.
Speaker 15 (14:04):
It is uh uh nineteen sixty seven Harper Annex off
Sanset Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 10 (14:12):
Uh. How many people knew that you had the jade
on you at that particular time yesterday. Oh, let me see,
there were only two other bias present beside missus Curtis.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Uh, do not recall their names.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
They were new to me.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Missus Curtis would know.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Mister Quim will know that you're tired. We have just
one more.
Speaker 15 (14:32):
Question, certainly, Uh, I wonder if I might trouble you
to hand me that tumbler.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Of water with a glass straw.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Shirley, and Uh, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You're welcome now those stumberings, mister Quian.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Would there be any practical disposition of them other than
selling 'em as they are?
Speaker 15 (14:55):
Who had hardly Sergeant Uh to anyone who really knows
the value of it, would be unheard of to change
them in any way.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I say, well, thank you, mister Kwan. Will do our best.
Speaker 15 (15:06):
You know, a sergeant which Chinese place a great sentimental
value on our jade.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
We'll do everything we can to recover it.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Uh.
Speaker 15 (15:16):
May I tell you my favorite quotition on jade, Yes, sir,
it is from the writings of Tong Jungsu. He wrote,
the magic powers of heron and Earth always combined to
form perfect results.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
So the pure essences of hell.
Speaker 15 (15:34):
And water become solidified in precious Jade.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Ben and I drove out to nineteen fifty seven Hyperatics
the residents of missus Ayna's Curtis.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
There was no one at home. They left one of
our cards.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It was twelve forty two pm when we got back
to Central Division.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Here's a phone message for you, Joe, what's to say?
Called Jess van Zale. He's that Wilchare Division.
Speaker 14 (15:57):
Okay, thanks then, wells your detectives Didion.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Jess, we got the truck and we got the driver.
We'll be right out.
Speaker 14 (16:19):
Something else, Joe, Yeah, the kid was right.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
There were two sevens in the license number.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You are listening to dragnet for the solution to an
actual case from official police files. Now Here is a
real solution to many of your Christmas shopping problems.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
If your friends smoke a long cigarette, give the best
of long cigarettes, Fatima.

Give Fatima for quality.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The name Fatima has always stood for the best in
cigarette quality.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Give Fatima for flavor.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Fatima has a much different, much better flavor and aroma
than any other long cigarette.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Give Fatima. They're extra mild yes.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Fatima is the long cigarette which contains the finest Turkish

It's the long cigarette that has doubled and redoubled its smokers.
More and more smokers every day agree Fatima is the
best of all long cigarettes. Wilber Rasmussen flight, male, American,
(17:47):
aged thirty one, five feet ten inches, one hundred and
ninety pounds, black hair, brown eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
He was the driver of the truck.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Gonzale Simpena began by checking through all of the reports
of trucks impounded during.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
The past twenty four hours, there were twenty three. Out
of those twenty three, they narrowed it down to four possibilities.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
The third vehicle that they checked fitted the young witnesses
description of the hold up truck.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
We still could not be absolutely certain that the impounded
truck was the one we were looking for.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
The same could be said of the driver, Wilburt Rasmussen.
The net result of checking impound reports doesn't always result
in the apprehension of a suspect, but In this case,
we were lucky the driver had been picked up for
drunk driving. It was one thirty pm when we checked
in at the Wilshire Division.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Hi, Jess, where is You're a little late? What do
you minute?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
He's gone released on bail?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Who furnished the bail?
Speaker 5 (18:36):
The woman who works for missus Zignez.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Curtis, Well, it doesn't say you yes? Or does it?
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
How many people knew Kwan had the jade?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
That's not my guest.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Kwan vouchis for has been doing visions.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
With her for a year. What do you think, Joe,
it's your show.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I'm just tagging along.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Well one thing, sure, just a minute, Wilcher detect his
gonzamas you opinion?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Did no?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Maybe?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Back here? Hm, Friday and Romaro were here right? The
Fisher kid just identified Rasmussen's picture.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The identification of Wilburt Rasmussen by six year old Norman
Fisher was far from sufficient.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
To take the case to court. We had to have evidence,
lots of it.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Rassmussen had been given a thorough shakedown his apartment and
the truck. There was no sign of the stolen jade rings.
Gonzales told us that the truck had come from the
You Drive truck rental on Figueroa Street.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
We checked with mister.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Crockett with You Drive.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Let me have another look at that picture.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Boys, Yeah, here you are.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Would you say his name was Rasmussen Wilbur Rasmusten.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
You want to know if you're rented a truck from
the swing yesterday? Maybe the day before?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
No, not this fellow never seen.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Him before we left You Drive.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
We checked over the rental contract on the truck in question.
The deposit check for the truck was signed by missus
Iones Curtis. The truck was checked out at six a m.
The rental contract, the actual release form showing to whom
the vehicle had been rented, was signed by Harry Wilson.
Rassmussen's name did not appear on any of the usual
rental forms. The manager of You Drive was positive that
(20:17):
he had not rented a truck to Rasmussen. We drove
out to nineteen fifty seven Harper Annex. This time we
found missus Ayns Curtis at home.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
I'm terribly sorry about mister Kohn. Did they have everything
he needs in the hospital, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
How long did you say this.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Harry Wilson had been working for you six or eight weeks.
Speaker 13 (20:36):
But I'm sure you're wrong about him.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
We're not accusing him of anything, Missus Curtis. We just
want to talk to him.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
He certainly came to me well recommended. He was a
nice man.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
When is the last time you signed?
Speaker 13 (20:47):
Day before? Yesterday? He asked for his check, said he
was quitting. Told him I was sorry to see him go.
I'm anxious to get that guest house finished.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
How about rasmuscle Missus Curtis, how long has he been
with you?
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Wilbri's been with me for about seven months. Good worker,
but he drinks too much. Feel sorry for him.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
You've rented trucks from me?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
You drive coming right along?
Speaker 13 (21:09):
Oh, yes, from mister Crockett. We had to have a
truck to haul our buildings supplies. I'm saving an awful
lot of money contracting this myself.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's a great saving, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Uh the deposit on his last rental? Did you give
that check to Wilson or to Erasmusen?
Speaker 13 (21:23):
I sent both of them down to pick it up.
Like I say, Wilby's been drinking rather heavily lately, and
I think Harry is the better driver of the two.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Do you know which one of those men was driving
the truck about five thirty in the afternoon day before yesterday?
Speaker 13 (21:36):
How would I know, that's, sergeant. All I know is
that I sent both of them down. I told Harry
to drive.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think missus Curtis, were either of those men present
the day you sold the jade rings to mister Kwan?
Speaker 13 (21:47):
No, they have nothing to do with my gym business. Whatever.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Did either of these men know about mister Kwan's purchase.
Speaker 13 (21:53):
That's possible they knew he was here. I'm sure they
saw him come in since time possible if they might
have overheard something.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Why did mister Kwan leave your house but five o'clock.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
By time the two men go after the truck.
Speaker 13 (22:07):
Oh, they picked that up early in the morning.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Mister Krocky down and you drive, says it. Only Harry
Wilson checked out the truck because he's never seen Rasland before.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
That's entirely possible. Like I say, they might well have
made other arrangements.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Were there any other people present when mister Kwan bought that.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
Jade, Yes, there were two other buyers. They were bidding
to the thumb rings too. Mister Kron had the high bed,
so I sold them to Hymn.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
What if we could have their names?
Speaker 13 (22:32):
I certainly I'll write them down for you, Miss Curtis.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Do you have any idea where we might locate Harry Wilson?
Speaker 13 (22:38):
He told me he was going to Mexico, said he
had friends down there.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Well, thank you, Miss Curtis, you've been very helpful.
Speaker 13 (22:44):
Are you sure there isn't anything mister Kron needs.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yes, ma'am? Two jade rings.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Missus zion As Curtis gave us a detailed.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Description of Harry Wilson.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She also gave us the names and addresses of the
two other buyers who were present when mister George Kwan
made his purchase. We checked them out and found them
to be equally as reputable as Missus Curtis.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
They could tell us nothing of the robbery.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We went back to the office and got out on
a TV and a radiogram on Harry Wilson from the
description given us by Missus Curtis. Steakouts re maintained at
Wilber Rasmus's apartment and at the home of missus As Curtis.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
It was four thirty PM.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
When we got to the second floor of the Old
City Jail building, the crime lab Lee Jones had the
evidence laid.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Out for us.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Now any thing about the handkerchief, boy is sent the
bloodstains old ones along.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
With the new ones.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
How does that figure?
Speaker 10 (23:31):
We know how the new ones were made when the
handkerchief was filled with buckshot and used on quand the
old ones?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
How to tell?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
How old did you say they were? The handkerchief has
been through the laundry a few times. Stains didn't come out.
Laundry marks right here, I don't see him. Man used
peerless laundry Infra red marking system.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
Let me show.

Him infrared lampley.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Yeah, there's your marking Penya trace it down.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Who's it belonged to? Man used the name of Harry Wilson.
There's nothing to do now but wait for some.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Word on Harry Wilson. The steakhouts continued. We requested wilbur
Rath Muscle and we talked again with Missus Curtis and
George Kwan.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
It was Tuesday, December the eighth. We checked in for
work at eight am. Fring. Guess hi, Joe, where's been communications?
Getting a mail?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Any word on the new chief that you take it.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
No nothing, but you're a gift. Oh I think that
round a good man.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Maybe Sloan's a good man too.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Can't you come in here?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Not yet?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
What maybe you'd like to take a little airplane trip.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
What do you got? Shy and wyoming.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
They picked up Harry Wilson.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Two days later, Thursday, December the tenth, Harry Wilson was
returned to the Los Angeles County Jail and booked on
suspicion of robbery. We checked with Lieutenant Frank Cunningham and
the Record Bureau. From Wilson's fingerprints, he ran a make
on him. Harry Wilson was an alias. We found out
that he had lengthy records of arrests and jail terms
for robbery, burglary, and grand larceny. Mister Crockett at you
(24:56):
drive identified Wilson's picture.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It was a two time loser.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
It's up to you, Wilson. It can go hard for
you easy.
Speaker 16 (25:03):
I'm in the spot.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Huh, you're in the spot. Play it out for him, Jess.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
So I'll stack against you, Wilson. We know you're rented
the truck. You knew corners of missus Curtis house. Your
handkerchief was found at the scene of the crime.
Speaker 16 (25:13):
He wouldn't believe me if I said I didn't do it.
I mean that kind of evidence. How canly I didn't.
I don't know if I can prove it, but I didn't.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
If you didn't, will help you prove it.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
First.
Speaker 16 (25:22):
You got to believe me, you know why. Yeah, I've
had it twice, once morning and for life.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
All right, you got it figured? Not what he got
to say.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Rassmusen did it.
Speaker 16 (25:32):
He knocked onawn over. Where were you buying my ticket
for Cheyenne? I didn't want any part of it.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
How do you come for that handkerchief?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
It was mine?
Speaker 16 (25:39):
But Rasmussen had it. He got his finger one day
in the job. I loaned it to.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Him, and that chicks old bloodstains new ones.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
All right, let's pick.

Pick up the Curtis stain.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
She planned it, wilbur rass Muscle was.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Picked up and brought in. After intense cross questioning, we
in front of him. With Harry Wilson's state in the
face of this testimony, he broke completely.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
He gave us a full confession implicating missus Aynaz Curtis.
He admitted beating George Klan and taking the jade thumb rings.
He said he received two hundred dollars from missus Curtis
for the job.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He requested that he'd be allowed to turn state's evidence.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Missus Aynaz Curtis was brought to the interrogation room.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
