Speaker 6 (03:35):
It was about eight I heard him leave later about
nine fifteen.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That right, miss Uchins, Yes, that's right. Oh. Could the
apartment have been entered without either one of you knowing it?
Speaker 8 (03:44):
No, sir, the back entrance is double latched, and no
one could have broken in the front way. My room's
right beside the front door, and I would have.
Speaker 10 (03:50):
Heard you told us on the phone if this doctor
Shulete was uh, middle aged, dark, rose to five feet eleven,
stocky and where's it goatee?

Speaker 6 (04:06):
He was about average.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
He had on a gray suit the last time I saw.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Do you know where he is?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'll find out. What kind of treatment were you taking
from doctor Schulte?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Was such as I call it. I don't know a
therapy for my head.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Aches last night? The same thing, yes, or anything different
from his previous visit.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
I was very nervous. He made me take three sleeping
castles and I went to.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Sleep, and she was still sleeping this morning when I
went in and found everything in the dressing table all.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Over the floor. You see, have you known this doctor
Schulte long as such.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
As about four months?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Did you meet him at a party? Maybe?
Speaker 12 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I was a student of his?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But where was this?
Speaker 6 (04:46):
A small college in Hollywood? He was the head of
the school. He was a teacher too.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Do you have the name? And I dressed with the college?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Bet he can give it to It's in my desk.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're still a student there?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
No, I don't take the course. I stopped. College was closed.
That's when he came here to treat me for my
head aches.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
How did he start giving you these treatments? Miss Sugins?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
One day He's like you, I seined it to his
office and told me that Payne was only a state
of mind. State of mind, Yes, my my headache didn't
bother me anymore. He said that relief would only be
temporary if I didn't take regular treatments.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
What did you see him regularly?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
I saw him twice a week, twice a week, always
here at the college is.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Then it closed? I don't know why he telephoned, said
he would continue here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, what did you get in touch with him when
the college closed?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I never did. He always called here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Do you have any idea where he is now? No?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I just know that he's a thief.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yes, man.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Why don't you lie down, Miss Hutchins. You looked tired, alright?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Thank you, Miss Hutchins, Yes, ma'am, thank you very much.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
Al right.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Would you, gentleman, like some coffee?
Speaker 13 (05:57):
Oh, Ben, I could chew, It would be very nice, miss,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Officer, yes man.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
If this man's just a common thief, chatments he's been
giving Miss Hutchins couldn't have been very good, could they?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
She still got the headaches, hasn't she? Eleven fifty am.
We checked the apartment for physical evidence. There was nothing
to indicate that the place had been broken into. We
put in a call a latent Fingerprints to send a
man out to check the closet and dresser. We completed
the crime report and Betty Greg the maid, gave us
the name and address of doctor Schulte's college, the Los
(06:35):
Angeles College of Psychotherapeutics and Psychiatry, at a Franklin Street
number in Hollywood. Ben and I got out of teletype
to Sacramento asking information on the chattering of the school
that doctor Shulte was supposed to have headed. We checked
on Betty Greg the maid, and found that she was
a Los Angeles girl parents still living in the city.
She had a good reputation. Two thirty five pm we
(06:55):
went to the address where the college had been. It
was a big, brown, clabbored house with several dormer windows
facing the street. Was vacant. The front door was boarded up.
A rental agency sign was stuck up on one of
the pillars on the front porch.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
My room there must have been where they had classes.
Those are chairs nailed down.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
See me Look, yeah, I don't see any papers inside.
No mail.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
Hi, yup, my name is Tom Thompson. You're interested in
the place.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You're the agent.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
No, No, I just lived next door.
Speaker 12 (07:28):
I'm a dry cleaner myself, but I sort of promised
the real estate agent i'd keep an eye peels if
I could help, and came around.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Chaper police officers were just checking.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh is there something wrong?
Speaker 9 (07:37):
Somebody break in?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Did you live next door when this was a school here?
Speaker 12 (07:41):
Yeah, that's psychology bunch there here. But ten months maybe last.
I always thought it was kind of a shoe string operation.
How do you mean, Oh, you know, how much? Do
they just make it in me?
Speaker 8 (07:50):
No?
Speaker 9 (07:50):
Class?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You know, always just adults.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Well, classes used to be mostly during the day. I
was at work. The wife used to tell me, they're
no kids that cheered or so.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Did you know the man that ran the school?
Speaker 12 (08:00):
No, but he was a middle aged guy with a
kind of a pointed beard, had a palow younger guy
never stopped to talk. They're pretty tight month guys, like
I said, Why would they do routine investigation?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Mister Jompson, Do you have any idea where they might
be contacted? Now?
Speaker 12 (08:13):
Interstate agent said they skipped without paying last month's run
for him.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
He's been trying to find him.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Do you remember their names? Oh?
Speaker 12 (08:19):
Well, let's see when with the older guy. The guy
with a beard was named Shultz or something like that.
I can't remember. The young fellow little bit. Hey, wait
a minute, Wait a minute. I got the door. I
got their door. The agent let me have the front door.
I'm building a party or ports in the back of
my house. And the glass that I took out of

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, thank you very much, Miss Thompson.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
No, it's okay, sugar out. I didn't throw that glass away, brother.
Look at all the letters after the name is eh.
I don't know what it takes to get a lineup
of degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Like that paintbrush. In about ten minutes five pm, Ben
and I drove back to the office. There was a
report from Layton fingerprints nothing but the prince of the
two girls had been found in the Hutchins apartment. We
checked what information we had on Shueltey and Donaldson through
to the FBI on the teletype. The check of doctors
(10:22):
registered with the Los Angeles County Medical Association and the
American Psychiatric Association failed to turn up anybody named doctor Shulte.
We had our Eye Bureau and Stat's office make runs
on Leo, Donaldson and Shulte and a run down on
the reports where the Burger opposed as a psychologist. The
Stat's office turned up a couple of dozen new suspects.
We pulled the mug shots and headed for the Hutchins apartment.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
It's like something doing at the Hutchings apartment. Half a
lot of Cruiser cars. That sallow enough?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All right?
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Can I go in?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm sorry for Friday Romero Central Burgery.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Oh sure, sa, what's the trouble girl?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Name of Hutchins shot herself.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You are listening to dragnet authentic stories of your police
force in action.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh no.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Ah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yes, what a difference.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
There's a difference you can hear.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
There's a difference you can see. But the difference in
Fatima is quality.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yes, friends, when you compare long cigarettes, you'll find that
in Fatima the difference is quality. Quality of tobaccos, the
finest Turkish and domestic varieties, extra mild and superbly blended
to give you a much different, much better flavor and
aroma than any other long cigarette.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Quality of manufacture, Smooth, plump cigarettes rolled in the finest
paper money.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Can buy, quality, even to the appearance of the bright,
clean yellow package carefully wrapped and sealed to bring you
Fatima's rich, fresh, extra mild flavor.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Fatima's cost the same as other long cigarettes, but your
first puff will.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Tell you, ah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Ask your dealer for Fatima, the quality king size cigarette,
best of all long cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Start enjoying Fatima tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Monday, November twenty third. During the morning, the coroner's office
signed off Marla Hutchin's case. The verdict was that she
had taken her own life. The police psychiatrist told us
that probably the hypnotic treatments by Shulte had hastened her death.
The information we'd received from the Medical Association told us
that they had had complaints against the operation of a
Shuelte school. They pointed out to us that it takes
(12:59):
over twelve years and recognized medical schools to become a
member of the American Psychiatric Association. Schulte had been mass
producing pseudo psychiatrists in eight weeks. One we met with
Captain Pulpman.
Speaker 14 (13:12):
School was a phony decrees and diploma sold anybody who
had cash.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They're not operating anymore. Let me check that out. They're going, Oh,
here's the answer to your tell us that the Sacramento
thank You gives details on the application for the School
of Shureley.
Speaker 14 (13:28):
He's listed as founder and Dean Donaldson has listed as staff.
There no addresses other than the Franklin Street number that
anything else. A month ago, Leo Donaldson opened courses of
construction in Los Angeles under the title of California Physicians
College of Psychiatry seven to eighty one South.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Hill Street, Shulton associated with No have any idea where
Shirley is. No, we don't, but we're looking. We've got
the support of the medical people to push a BUNCO
charge for the operation of the old school. Donaldson should be.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
Able to give you Alda figures it might be in contact.
Looks like they acted and ran in school together, even
though Sholte was legular.
Speaker 14 (14:06):
Response and Ben and I have an idea on how
maybe we can find out. How's that We thought one
of us could make a pitch to Donaldson, see if
he'd sell a degree from the new school, get evidence
to support a BUNCO warrant, and check at the same
time to see if Donaldson has contact with Shulte.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh, let's funco detail know we're try you think you
can do it? Like try? You know anything else about
Donaldson's courses. You know that doesn't bother me. Oh come,
neither is Donaldson and trying to get Shulte through his
former associate Leo Donaldson. We again contacted the Medical Association.
(14:44):
They furnished this with the name of Ralph Morse, a
graduate of the Franklin Street School who had since been
killed in an auto accident. Tuesday eleven thirty am, Ben
and I get the seven eighty one South Hill Street
at seventh story office building in the heart of the
Los Angeles business district. The directory and the lobby listed
the California position he was, College of Psychiatry for Romans
two fourteen and two sixteen. Ben waited outside in the car.
(15:05):
I took the elevator up. He asked me, I hope, uh,
(15:26):
doctor Donaldson. I'm doctor Leo Donaldson. Have you have assistance? Well,
my name is Frank Ditton. I wanted to ask about
the curriculum here.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We've just opened.
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Mister Ditton, we're not quite ready to start classes. You
understand this is a very advanced instruction. Most of our
students would have had considerable background in psychiatry.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh well, a friend of mine, doctor Morse, said that
they were sure I'd.
Speaker 13 (15:45):
Be a good student for you, doctor Morse. I'm not
sure when I replaced him.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh he was one of your students at the Franklin
Street School. Said that. Uh, doctor Schulte knew him quite well.
Speaker 13 (15:55):
Oh oh, yes, yes, I remember. Brilliant man. How's he
getting along?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Was killed in a car collision. Oh that's too bad. Well, Frankly,
what I was interested in is being able to take
over his practice. Could I get the same deal he got?
Speaker 13 (16:09):
I think so, mister Ditton, What do you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We'll take some courses and get a degree. I worked
with Morris Broke, while I can set up a clinic
he did, Okay, I have to figure maybe I can too. Well.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Here's a list of the courses we'll offer.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Think you'll go over it together and you can indicate
what sphees that you'd like to undertake.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Does doctor Schulte teach any of these courses? No, he doesn't. Now.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
The first semester will include Painless and druglas's, Childbirth, Practical
and Applied Psychology out of suggestion prenatal suggestion.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, well, look, doctor Donaldson, A straight, practical and applied
psychology is the specialty that I want. See what degree
do I get? And how much will it cost?
Speaker 13 (16:48):
Well, at least expensive is a doctor of Psychotherapy at
four hundred and fifty dollars. A Doctor to Philosophy and
Psychology is five hundred dollars for all purposes if you
can afford it, mister Ditton is a doctorate of Science.
That's eight hundred. That course once a thousand dollars at
the Franklin Street School.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, well, I don't know. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
Yes, I have to have it, though, And if you'd
take a check out, certainly you understand what a tremendous
advantage these degrees are to the professional man, who, for
one reason or another may never have had a chance
to get a college diploma.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
The course is very hard.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
You look like an intelligent man, mister Dinton. I'm sure
you'd have no difficulty.
Speaker 14 (17:24):
All right, I'll say, look, doctor, I live out in
Van Eyes now, and I'm working three days a.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Week the present time. It's going to be pretty tough
to get downtown here.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Do I have to be here?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Every day.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
Since it's the diplomas most of our students are interested in.
We have on occasion made exceptions in cases like yours. Well,
i'd appreciate that we could possibly, in the case of
a doctorate of science, present you with your diploma in
advance if you're taking the course, and you could launch
into private practice at once, take the course whenever.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
It suited you.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I couldn't ask for a better deal. Everything's mentioned in
this catalog.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
The forums are in the back. Why don't you sit down,
I think, Well, thank.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
You very much.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, rules and regulations. No books are required the students. Well,
it's a break. Uh.
Speaker 13 (18:08):
We lecture a little differently from some colleges, and therefore
we've dispensed with texts because we feel they tend to
confuse the data.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
When I take the course. Uh, who will be my instructor?
I will? Well, Morse talked a lot about doctor Shulte.
Does he teach any of the classes? Now?
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Doctor Schulte was associated with me in the operation of
the Franklin Street School, but is not the staff member
of the California Physicians College or Psychiatry.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, Uh, just wondering if I paid extra, could I
get some classes with him. More said that he picked
up a lot of useful information from Shulda. He's a
fellow with a goatee, and he yes, that's right.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Well, truthfully, I have no idea where doctor Shulte is
presently low kids still.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now it's uh uh one regulation here. No student will
be admitted who cannot show documentary proof of the successful
completion of secondary.
Speaker 13 (18:57):
School work high school. You can understand that, can ser
mister didn't? I mean, well, there are certain minimum academic
standards we must observe in order to maintain the quality
of our degree.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Doctor Donaldson accepted my check to the amount of eight
hundred dollars. I asked for a receipt, and he filled
out a blank Doctorate of Science degree, which he carefully
lettered with the name Frank Didney and signed himself as dean.
I arrested Donaldson and Ben and I took him in
for booking. One PM, we received a long teletype from Washington.
Arthur Shulte had a record of arrests and convictions back East,
(19:34):
but started with a conviction sixteen years ago for the
interstate transportation of pornographic motion pictures. The record gave us
no known addresses. But important in the information was the
fact that Schulte had originally been trained and had worked
at being a projectionist in movie theaters. In the mo
was the notation that he'd been known to take up
his old occupation when sought by authorities. One thirty five
(19:56):
pm we contacted the local office of the Motion Picture
Projection This Union, where they told us that they had
placed an Arthur's shoelte in the booth of one of
the main street newsreel houses on Sunday, that was the
day before two thirty pm. The Crescent Theater was buried
between two bars and advertised an hour of newsreels and
short subjects for twenty cents. Where's the manager?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I'm him?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Can we talk to you a minute? Police officers? What
I say, we're police officers.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We'd like to talk to you.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Nobody here to take over.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Why don't you come in and I can open the booth.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Door here and talk?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, right around the back. I guess here, Ben, I think, hey, mister, okay,
what's the trouble officers? You have a man in the
name of Shulte working here. That's right. Projectionist isn't working right?
This minute, though it comes on duty at four an hour.
(20:52):
All right, I wonder if you had to take a
look at this description. Police. There we are five eleven

When the rookie policeman becomes a full fledged member of
the department, one of the first things he becomes aware
of is the time warn tradition of the peace officer.
He has pride in the many works with pride in
his job. The men who make Fatima take great pride
in their job. They too, uphold a tradition, the Fatima
(28:24):
tradition of quality. You see, Fatima contains the finest Turkish
and domestic tobaccos, suburbly blended and pack after pack, they're
extra mild. If you're a long cigarette smoker like I am,
and have not yet enjoyed Fatima, buy a pack tomorrow.
Compare Fatima with other long cigarettes. You'll find they cost
the same, but in Fatima the difference is quality.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
That right, miss Uchins, Yes, that's right. Oh. Could the
apartment have been entered without either one of you knowing it?
Speaker 8 (03:44):
No, sir, the back entrance is double latched, and no
one could have broken in the front way. My room's
right beside the front door, and I would have.
Speaker 10 (03:50):

Shulete was uh, middle aged, dark, rose to five feet eleven,
stocky and where's it goatee?

Speaker 6 (04:06):
He was about average.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
He had on a gray suit the last time I saw.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Do you know where he is?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'll find out. What kind of treatment were you taking
from doctor Schulte?
Speaker 6 (04:16):

therapy for my head.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Aches last night? The same thing, yes, or anything different
from his previous visit.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
I was very nervous. He made me take three sleeping
castles and I went to.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Sleep, and she was still sleeping this morning when I
went in and found everything in the dressing table all.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Over the floor. You see, have you known this doctor
Schulte long as such.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
As about four months?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Did you meet him at a party? Maybe?
Speaker 12 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I was a student of his?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But where was this?
Speaker 6 (04:46):
A small college in Hollywood? He was the head of
the school. He was a teacher too.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Do you have the name? And I dressed with the college?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Bet he can give it to It's in my desk.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're still a student there?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
No, I don't take the course. I stopped. College was closed.
That's when he came here to treat me for my
head aches.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
How did he start giving you these treatments? Miss Sugins?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
One day He's like you, I seined it to his
office and told me that Payne was only a state
of mind. State of mind, Yes, my my headache didn't
bother me anymore. He said that relief would only be
temporary if I didn't take regular treatments.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
What did you see him regularly?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
I saw him twice a week, twice a week, always
here at the college is.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Then it closed? I don't know why he telephoned, said
he would continue here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, what did you get in touch with him when
the college closed?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I never did. He always called here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Do you have any idea where he is now? No?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I just know that he's a thief.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yes, man.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Why don't you lie down, Miss Hutchins. You looked tired, alright?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Thank you, Miss Hutchins, Yes, ma'am, thank you very much.
Speaker 9 (05:52):

Oh, Ben, I could chew, It would be very nice, miss,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Officer, yes man.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
If this man's just a common thief, chatments he's been
giving Miss Hutchins couldn't have been very good, could they?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
She still got the headaches, hasn't she? Eleven fifty am.
We checked the apartment for physical evidence. There was nothing
to indicate that the place had been broken into. We
put in a call a latent Fingerprints to send a
man out to check the closet and dresser. We completed
the crime report and Betty Greg the maid, gave us
the name and address of doctor Schulte's college, the Los
(06:35):
Angeles College of Psychotherapeutics and Psychiatry, at a Franklin Street
number in Hollywood. Ben and I got out of teletype
to Sacramento asking information on the chattering of the school
that doctor Shulte was supposed to have headed. We checked
on Betty Greg the maid, and found that she was
a Los Angeles girl parents still living in the city.
She had a good reputation. Two thirty five pm we
(06:55):
went to the address where the college had been. It
was a big, brown, clabbored house with several dormer windows
facing the street. Was vacant. The front door was boarded up.
A rental agency sign was stuck up on one of
the pillars on the front porch.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
My room there must have been where they had classes.
Those are chairs nailed down.

I'm a dry cleaner myself, but I sort of promised
the real estate agent i'd keep an eye peels if
I could help, and came around.

Chaper police officers were just checking.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh is there something wrong?

Somebody break in?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Did you live next door when this was a school here?
Speaker 12 (07:41):

was at work. The wife used to tell me, they're
no kids that cheered or so.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Did you know the man that ran the school?
Speaker 12 (08:00):
No, but he was a middle aged guy with a
kind of a pointed beard, had a palow younger guy
never stopped to talk. They're pretty tight month guys, like
I said, Why would they do routine investigation?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Mister Jompson, Do you have any idea where they might
be contacted? Now?
Speaker 12 (08:13):

Look at all the letters after the name is eh.
I don't know what it takes to get a lineup
of degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Like that paintbrush. In about ten minutes five pm, Ben
and I drove back to the office. There was a
report from Layton fingerprints nothing but the prince of the
two girls had been found in the Hutchins apartment. We
checked what information we had on Shueltey and Donaldson through
to the FBI on the teletype. The check of doctors
(10:22):
registered with the Los Angeles County Medical Association and the
American Psychiatric Association failed to turn up anybody named doctor Shulte.
We had our Eye Bureau and Stat's office make runs
on Leo, Donaldson and Shulte and a run down on
the reports where the Burger opposed as a psychologist. The
Stat's office turned up a couple of dozen new suspects.
We pulled the mug shots and headed for the Hutchins apartment.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
It's like something doing at the Hutchings apartment. Half a
lot of Cruiser cars. That sallow enough?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All right?
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Can I go in?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm sorry for Friday Romero Central Burgery.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Oh sure, sa, what's the trouble girl?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Name of Hutchins shot herself.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You are listening to dragnet authentic stories of your police
force in action.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh no.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Ah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yes, what a difference.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
There's a difference you can hear.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
There's a difference you can see. But the difference in
Fatima is quality.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yes, friends, when you compare long cigarettes, you'll find that
in Fatima the difference is quality. Quality of tobaccos, the
finest Turkish and domestic varieties, extra mild and superbly blended
to give you a much different, much better flavor and
aroma than any other long cigarette.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Quality of manufacture, Smooth, plump cigarettes rolled in the finest
paper money.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Can buy, quality, even to the appearance of the bright,
clean yellow package carefully wrapped and sealed to bring you
Fatima's rich, fresh, extra mild flavor.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Fatima's cost the same as other long cigarettes, but your
first puff will.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Tell you, ah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Ask your dealer for Fatima, the quality king size cigarette,
best of all long cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Start enjoying Fatima tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Monday, November twenty third. During the morning, the coroner's office
signed off Marla Hutchin's case. The verdict was that she
had taken her own life. The police psychiatrist told us
that probably the hypnotic treatments by Shulte had hastened her death.
The information we'd received from the Medical Association told us
that they had had complaints against the operation of a
Shuelte school. They pointed out to us that it takes
(12:59):
over twelve years and recognized medical schools to become a
member of the American Psychiatric Association. Schulte had been mass
producing pseudo psychiatrists in eight weeks. One we met with
Captain Pulpman.
Speaker 14 (13:12):
School was a phony decrees and diploma sold anybody who
had cash.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They're not operating anymore. Let me check that out. They're going, Oh,
here's the answer to your tell us that the Sacramento
thank You gives details on the application for the School
of Shureley.
Speaker 14 (13:28):
He's listed as founder and Dean Donaldson has listed as staff.
There no addresses other than the Franklin Street number that
anything else. A month ago, Leo Donaldson opened courses of
construction in Los Angeles under the title of California Physicians
College of Psychiatry seven to eighty one South.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Hill Street, Shulton associated with No have any idea where
Shirley is. No, we don't, but we're looking. We've got
the support of the medical people to push a BUNCO
charge for the operation of the old school. Donaldson should be.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
Able to give you Alda figures it might be in contact.
Looks like they acted and ran in school together, even
though Sholte was legular.
Speaker 14 (14:06):
Response and Ben and I have an idea on how
maybe we can find out. How's that We thought one
of us could make a pitch to Donaldson, see if
he'd sell a degree from the new school, get evidence
to support a BUNCO warrant, and check at the same
time to see if Donaldson has contact with Shulte.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh, let's funco detail know we're try you think you
can do it? Like try? You know anything else about
Donaldson's courses. You know that doesn't bother me. Oh come,
neither is Donaldson and trying to get Shulte through his
former associate Leo Donaldson. We again contacted the Medical Association.
(14:44):
They furnished this with the name of Ralph Morse, a
graduate of the Franklin Street School who had since been
killed in an auto accident. Tuesday eleven thirty am, Ben
and I get the seven eighty one South Hill Street
at seventh story office building in the heart of the
Los Angeles business district. The directory and the lobby listed
the California position he was, College of Psychiatry for Romans
two fourteen and two sixteen. Ben waited outside in the car.
(15:05):
I took the elevator up. He asked me, I hope, uh,
(15:26):
doctor Donaldson. I'm doctor Leo Donaldson. Have you have assistance? Well,
my name is Frank Ditton. I wanted to ask about
the curriculum here.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We've just opened.
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Mister Ditton, we're not quite ready to start classes. You
understand this is a very advanced instruction. Most of our
students would have had considerable background in psychiatry.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh well, a friend of mine, doctor Morse, said that
they were sure I'd.
Speaker 13 (15:45):
Be a good student for you, doctor Morse. I'm not
sure when I replaced him.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh he was one of your students at the Franklin
Street School. Said that. Uh, doctor Schulte knew him quite well.
Speaker 13 (15:55):
Oh oh, yes, yes, I remember. Brilliant man. How's he
getting along?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Was killed in a car collision. Oh that's too bad. Well, Frankly,
what I was interested in is being able to take
over his practice. Could I get the same deal he got?
Speaker 13 (16:09):
I think so, mister Ditton, What do you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We'll take some courses and get a degree. I worked
with Morris Broke, while I can set up a clinic
he did, Okay, I have to figure maybe I can too. Well.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Here's a list of the courses we'll offer.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Think you'll go over it together and you can indicate
what sphees that you'd like to undertake.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Does doctor Schulte teach any of these courses? No, he doesn't. Now.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
The first semester will include Painless and druglas's, Childbirth, Practical
and Applied Psychology out of suggestion prenatal suggestion.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, well, look, doctor Donaldson, A straight, practical and applied
psychology is the specialty that I want. See what degree
do I get? And how much will it cost?
Speaker 13 (16:48):
Well, at least expensive is a doctor of Psychotherapy at
four hundred and fifty dollars. A Doctor to Philosophy and
Psychology is five hundred dollars for all purposes if you
can afford it, mister Ditton is a doctorate of Science.
That's eight hundred. That course once a thousand dollars at
the Franklin Street School.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, well, I don't know. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
Yes, I have to have it, though, And if you'd
take a check out, certainly you understand what a tremendous
advantage these degrees are to the professional man, who, for
one reason or another may never have had a chance
to get a college diploma.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
The course is very hard.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
You look like an intelligent man, mister Dinton. I'm sure
you'd have no difficulty.
Speaker 14 (17:24):
All right, I'll say, look, doctor, I live out in
Van Eyes now, and I'm working three days a.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Week the present time. It's going to be pretty tough
to get downtown here.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Do I have to be here?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Every day.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
Since it's the diplomas most of our students are interested in.
We have on occasion made exceptions in cases like yours. Well,
i'd appreciate that we could possibly, in the case of
a doctorate of science, present you with your diploma in
advance if you're taking the course, and you could launch
into private practice at once, take the course whenever.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
It suited you.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I couldn't ask for a better deal. Everything's mentioned in
this catalog.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
The forums are in the back. Why don't you sit down,
I think, Well, thank.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
You very much.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, rules and regulations. No books are required the students. Well,
it's a break. Uh.
Speaker 13 (18:08):
We lecture a little differently from some colleges, and therefore
we've dispensed with texts because we feel they tend to
confuse the data.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
When I take the course. Uh, who will be my instructor?
I will? Well, Morse talked a lot about doctor Shulte.
Does he teach any of the classes? Now?
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Doctor Schulte was associated with me in the operation of
the Franklin Street School, but is not the staff member
of the California Physicians College or Psychiatry.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, Uh, just wondering if I paid extra, could I
get some classes with him. More said that he picked
up a lot of useful information from Shulda. He's a
fellow with a goatee, and he yes, that's right.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Well, truthfully, I have no idea where doctor Shulte is
presently low kids still.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now it's uh uh one regulation here. No student will
be admitted who cannot show documentary proof of the successful
completion of secondary.
Speaker 13 (18:57):
School work high school. You can understand that, can ser
mister didn't? I mean, well, there are certain minimum academic
standards we must observe in order to maintain the quality
of our degree.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Doctor Donaldson accepted my check to the amount of eight
hundred dollars. I asked for a receipt, and he filled
out a blank Doctorate of Science degree, which he carefully
lettered with the name Frank Didney and signed himself as dean.
I arrested Donaldson and Ben and I took him in
for booking. One PM, we received a long teletype from Washington.
Arthur Shulte had a record of arrests and convictions back East,
(19:34):
but started with a conviction sixteen years ago for the
interstate transportation of pornographic motion pictures. The record gave us
no known addresses. But important in the information was the
fact that Schulte had originally been trained and had worked
at being a projectionist in movie theaters. In the mo
was the notation that he'd been known to take up
his old occupation when sought by authorities. One thirty five
(19:56):
pm we contacted the local office of the Motion Picture
Projection This Union, where they told us that they had
placed an Arthur's shoelte in the booth of one of
the main street newsreel houses on Sunday, that was the
day before two thirty pm. The Crescent Theater was buried
between two bars and advertised an hour of newsreels and
short subjects for twenty cents. Where's the manager?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I'm him?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Can we talk to you a minute? Police officers? What
I say, we're police officers.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We'd like to talk to you.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Nobody here to take over.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Why don't you come in and I can open the booth.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Door here and talk?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, right around the back. I guess here, Ben, I think, hey, mister, okay,
what's the trouble officers? You have a man in the
name of Shulte working here. That's right. Projectionist isn't working right?
This minute, though it comes on duty at four an hour.
(20:52):
All right, I wonder if you had to take a
look at this description. Police. There we are five eleven
man working. Here's clean shaven, No go tee inside? That
sounds the same.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
Any idea where he lives?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No, I don't. Well, we'll have to wait for him here.
All right, Wait a minute, this one where you wanna
wait inside? Well, I think we'd rather stay up in
the projection booth. It's all right up the steel stairs
there on the right. Tell Pete I agen he's the
man up there now. I said it was okay, all right,
don't say anything, Joe. When he gets here, What do
(21:29):

it's a long climb. Huh yeah, yeah, trying a pair?
Oh yeah, must be it. Alright, mister Mester, Yeah, police officers.
(21:56):
Anything wrong, We're gonna have to wait here. The manager said,
it was okay, wait for what? We want to talk
to your relief man?
Speaker 9 (22:03):
You mean the doc?
Speaker 11 (22:04):
You know, I'm just since yesterday.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Why do you call him the doc?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (22:09):
You know he speaks kind of fancy for a projectionist.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
What do you do?
Speaker 11 (22:13):
Aw, he'd just like to talk to him. Okay, you
know the.
Speaker 2 (22:15):

told us you want to look at the picture, you
can both sit by the observation port on the film.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
Safe say yeah, thanks, ye know, sit over here, Ben?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This all right here? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (22:29):
Huh, Well, what's the matter. I've seen this news reel.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Five pm. Cheel was nearly two hours late. Ben and
I were worrying about whether or somehow he'd been tipping.
Usual for men to be this late for a shift,
not in a house like this, big, your hots would
be different. Wait, is but a doc being late like
this just cross the boss a couple of bucks? What
do you mean? I got more dough? I'm over my

golden time. Most of you can get is double golden.
You get that working over maximum number of hours after
midnight on a Sunday.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Uh huh, that's double golden.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (23:20):
The money?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
The noise can't get used to it, don't pay any attention.
After a while, don't you get tired of hearing the
same soundtrack over and over?
Speaker 9 (23:30):
No, you just know it's there.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It never registers what they're saying. I mean, just if
it stops when it shouldn't get used to.

It's a long time. Excuse me, I'm gonna make a
switch over. Would you say I said I'm gonna make
a switch over. I've been watching you do that all afternoon.
How do you know when to turn the other projector on?
Mark's on the film up in the right corner on
the screen. Usually a black dot, look through the window. Look, man,

When the rookie policeman becomes a full fledged member of
the department, one of the first things he becomes aware
of is the time warn tradition of the peace officer.
He has pride in the many works with pride in
his job. The men who make Fatima take great pride
in their job. They too, uphold a tradition, the Fatima
(28:24):
tradition of quality. You see, Fatima contains the finest Turkish
and domestic tobaccos, suburbly blended and pack after pack, they're
extra mild. If you're a long cigarette smoker like I am,
and have not yet enjoyed Fatima, buy a pack tomorrow.
Compare Fatima with other long cigarettes. You'll find they cost
the same, but in Fatima the difference is quality.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
