the eighth belonged to him, but he refused to tell
us where he acquired it. Jerry Boston denied any knowledge
of the drugs. We made arrangements for the two dents
and children to be placed on a protective custody of
the Juvenal Division. Ten forty two PM, we took the
Danson's and Jerry Boston down of the Narcotics Bureau for
further questioning. Our investigation revealed that Boston was not implicated

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Ten years from previous investigations, Frank and I knew that
perk Kelvy was involved in the narcotics trade. He'd been
arrested several times for possession, but so far he had
always managed to escape conviction. At the time of his
last arrest, some five months ago, he had been in
the company of his wife, Marjorie. When the wife was searched,
(19:19):
three ounces of heroin were found on her person. Marjorie
Healthy had not been known to us as a pusher
or a user, so when her husband was questioned, he
denied any knowledge of the dope. His wife was sentenced
to a term at the women's State Prisons. Twelve or
eight am, Frank and I drove back to the Denton residence.
The place was deserted. We went inside to wait for
Healthy and Josie Denton one sixteen am.
Speaker 2 (19:41):

difference in your mother's kase.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
So oh, come on, you don't care any more about
my folks than I do.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You're after Perk with just stuff, wasn't it?
Speaker 4 (21:34):

mean anything to him? Isn't what he tells me? He's
got a wife.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Amy the way I hear it, he's out of town.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You know who said her there. It's nothing to keep
the same thing from happening to you. It won't do
you ever think your mother cried? Jobie? Well, I did
the night. She wasn't trying for herself, and there was
for you and your kid sisters. You got a choice.

stay court. Yeh yeah, I'm not sure of you yet,
stay here.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
She was through before you ever started.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
She doesn't care about her mother or anybody else. It's
easy to crack helvy. I think, no, it was, But
he got up to the stuff is his. He's got
some morning his car or turned the teeth. I don't know.
Maybe he likes his star. Maybe that's why he held
back on his wife to get rid of her.

that I don't understand. You're dancers. How would you know
one of the pillows in the children's bedroom Frank vom envelope,
(13:35):
which contained thirty two caps of heroin. Danson admitted that
the eighth belonged to him, but he refused to tell
us where he acquired it. Jerry Boston denied any knowledge
of the drugs. We made arrangements for the two dents
and children to be placed on a protective custody of
the Juvenal Division. Ten forty two PM, we took the
Danson's and Jerry Boston down of the Narcotics Bureau for
further questioning. Our investigation revealed that Boston was not implicated
(13:57):
in the cason. He was released tem DM while Frank
interrogated the Denton woman. I talked to her husband in
a joining room.

your arms. You want me to guess? Three cats a day?
That about it? All right? Dentson? Who's the stuff belonged to? What? Fella?
You're dead? We can make you on possession, maybe even
on sale there you must be off your rocker.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
You know I never sold none on.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Sorry, we got your already. Start pushing for all we
know you started. Everybody told you.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
That he's a lie.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I ain't no push or I never have that. And
what are you doing with a thirty two cat? I'll
keep it going. You meant it there were cheap. I'll

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Ten years from previous investigations, Frank and I knew that
perk Kelvy was involved in the narcotics trade. He'd been
arrested several times for possession, but so far he had
always managed to escape conviction. At the time of his
last arrest, some five months ago, he had been in
the company of his wife, Marjorie. When the wife was searched,
(19:19):
three ounces of heroin were found on her person. Marjorie
Healthy had not been known to us as a pusher
or a user, so when her husband was questioned, he
denied any knowledge of the dope. His wife was sentenced
to a term at the women's State Prisons. Twelve or
eight am, Frank and I drove back to the Denton residence.
The place was deserted. We went inside to wait for
Healthy and Josie Denton one sixteen am.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Well, if he wouldn't cop out to save his own wife,
he's not.
Speaker 1 (19:43):

easy to crack helvy. I think, no, it was, But
he got up to the stuff is his. He's got
some morning his car or turned the teeth. I don't know.
Maybe he likes his star. Maybe that's why he held
back on his wife to get rid of her.
