For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with

From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday, October 6th. It was cool in Los Angeles. We were working a day watch out of robbery detail. My partner's Ben Romero, the boss is Captain Ed Walker, my name's Friday. I was on the way back from Calvary Cemetery. It was 11.45 am when I got to room 27-8. Robbery detail. Pretty good turnout. Sure sorry, I couldn't make it. One of us had to be in court. A lot of the boys out there, huh? Yeah. Martin had a lot of friends. It was a good cop. You see his wife? Yeah. Wife took it hard again. Pretty hard, yeah. You buy ready for lunch? I better make up the log book first now. It was a little behind. All right. Hi, still.

Ben, what's with you? Oh, same old thing. So, what's the DR number on that job we handled yesterday? The grocery store thing. You know, we showed those mud shots to the victim. Remember the DR number? Oh, yeah, yeah, I got it here. 374-332. Yes, I do. Thanks. Mm-hmm. Yes, sir? My name's Frank Cheney. I've just been parole from Folsom. Can you tell me where I registered? Yeah. I'll get one of the men from the rehabilitation detail. I'll get to take care of it. Yeah, thanks. Excuse me, Ben. Oh, yeah. Boss, Rick. Johnny Boss, Rick? Yeah. Got a man? Something for you. I'll be right there. Did you contact the witness in this report here? I don't think so. This one. What do you got to say? Oh, yeah, yeah, I have to care. Oh, is it this one? Sir, register's next time. Mm-hmm. Okay. Excuse me, I don't know. Yeah. Hi, you want a register? Yeah, my name's Frank Cheney. Okay. Dress to 18 bell grade.

Bell grade. Where you been? Folsom. Get out Saturday. Okay, what's the full form? Robbery, first degree. How much do you all serve 18 years? I'm in life parole. I have to be parole. Okay. Hey, thanks, Jim. One town rumble. We're out for seven. Wait a couple minutes, huh? You seem to go out the desk. The one with Blonsberg. Yeah, it's next car in life. Frank Cheney, 1931. Jack Taylor and I had him. First big one we have a drill. Well, that's all. Did you have a hero of them? Used to call him a gentleman bandit? Yeah, 1931, Claude. That's 18 years ago. Cheney was the biggest of them. Came from a wealthy family too. The father's a millionaire. He sent him up, huh? Send Quentin. Trying to break out with a partner. His partner killed a trustee. Cheney was sent to Folsom. From a millionaire family. That's a career. Yeah. How about that lunch fellow? Yeah, let's go. Seems like it could have been yesterday. 1931. We grow old right along with the thieves, huh? Where would go, federal campaign? That's all right with me. 18 years. Yeah. She'll go buy them a hurry.

I wonder if Cheney thinks so. As far as day-to-day routine goes, police work is pretty much like any other job. So the rookie detective just starting in. There's new things to see. New things to learn. But five or six years on the detail and the job gets pretty ordinary. You see a lot of dirt, a lot of trouble and tragedy. And after a while you begin to wonder, what all the glamours about and the excitement that's supposed to go along with the job. The fall months went by pretty slow. On November 3rd, we closed the case against a gang and drugstore hold-up men. In December, Ben's youngster fell off a fence and sprained his wrist. My uncle George from Renton, Washington visited my mother in Maine January, stayed a couple of weeks. On January 28th, it rained. Ben and I checked into the office where we got a phone call from Lieutenant Mort gear of the San Diego Police Department. He gave us additional information on a finance company hold-up, which had been called in San Diego the day before. In the robbery, one bystander had been shot and killed and another one wounded by the two bandits.

I also shot a police officer three times through the stomach when he tried to stop him. Next day, Sergeant's arms being maguire from San Diego arrived and we helped him check the suspects through the stats office. A couple of bad ones, Joe. Both have guns in the user. I don't know if I'm going to win a car and the other one on the foot. Is that right, Melva? Yeah, a big one used a car. Size ought to help some. Say, 45 is old. Christ six foot one or two inches, we've 275.85 pounds. Anybody get a look at the car? I was moved. Blue Ford sedan, 1941 model. That's all we got. For rough. After all, a shooting. I witnessed it. Didn't know what they saw. How about the other one, the guy who got away on foot? It was a WMA, about 50 years old. 5'8", 9", 145, 55 pounds. Where's glass? Yeah, we got that on the Teletimes at all. No, we crashed from the grey on bus depot about six blocks in the holdup. Changed his clothes in the washroom. They're left behind a coat and a gun. Yeah. The coat was kind of give parolee some state pen. Check it through our crime lab. Same kind of suits her.

It's your doll, like scons. No make. At least you know what, I'm the next kind. I'll let that gun you find. It's the murder weapon. Our ballistics man went over it. No prints. Fried to trace the serial number. No record. CII and Sacramento are trying to run it down. Well, we got any hunches? A few. We're almost sure both of them have gone the route before. Pretty cool. Shot down three people didn't batten nine. How much did they take in the holdup? 11,000. Are your stats of us make a run those descriptions yet? Here this morning, why not ask the list of possibilities? Is it pulling the mud, Cosmin? I don't be waiting enough. I don't think so. And let's check. This way, fellas. Yeah. Go ahead and work. Oh, thanks. How's the wife, aren't we? Oh, fine, man. She's expecting again. What are you going to do, raising army? Four kids. That's not so bad. McGuire's wife won six. How about that, man? There's a five known, no point in quickening your head. Frank? Here, Joe. You know a Russ Orange being Tony McGuire, don't you, San Diego PD?

I'm sure, madam. Hi. Hi. Frank, we'll see you. Good. This right to call you. Got those mug shots together for you. Here, got them right here. Okay. There you are. This is next for suspect one, and this is number two. Okay, Frank. Let's check them out with the witnesses. There's one mug there. I'm sorry. Yeah, this one. Yeah. The next is description for you to close. Safe man, but right, but you can go anywhere. Name's Weber. Firstly, Stanley. Really? Call him Turk, I think. Nickname. Know anything, buddy? His next cop. Worms being McGuire drove back to San Diego to show the mug shots to the holdup witnesses and see if they could get an identification. Like the next afternoon, they call back to tell us that Stanley Turk Weber had definitely been identified from his mug shot by four of the five witnesses as one of the holdup men. His partner remained unidentified. We call Turk Weber's parole officer. Got all the available information on the suspect, including his latest address, an apartment house on North Alameda.

Weber wasn't there. We talked with the apartment house manager and he told us that Turk hadn't been seen there since the day before the San Diego robbery and murder. We had a stakeout put on the apartment. Ben and I went back to the office and had the record bureau pull Weber's package. On his mama sheet, Ben spotted a familiar name. Henry Garcin, another ex-con, who was listed as one of Turk Weber's closest friends. Well, we got to hold a Garcin's parole officer. He told us Garcin had had his parole transferred to San Diego where he disappeared two weeks before he was wanted for violation of parole. We tried to check Weber through his relatives, but couldn't find any. But Henry Garcin's report showed that he had a brother owl who ran a dry cleaning shop down in Seal Beach. He had no criminal record next morning. We drove down the scene. Yeah, Henry came around last July. The last time I saw him, I went to bomb a car. You got any idea where he might be now? No. You're his brother. I don't know where he is. That's true. I don't want to know where he is. Was anyone with him when he came to see you last?

You know who his friends are? Friends? No. Would you look at these pictures, please, if you'd like to identify any of them? Yes. Sorry, I just need to see. No. Please, here. No. Ah. How about these? Yeah. Yeah. Ah. No, I look... Can't you talk to me later? It's not good for business having cops around a shop. Who would you yell for if a shop was held up, Mr. Garcin? I said, get the do it. Your brothers in trouble, we might stop him from getting in people. No, if we're in there. Hello, Mr. Runny. Good morning, Al. I hope you... No, I should go ahead and wait in the gentleman. No, I thought I'd do just waiting. We're good, William. I hope you... My husband's still cleaned and presently. Can you have five two sixes? Two sixes, I'll drive. My friend, Jack, is being prepared to come. Can you talk to this little stranger? What? Yeah, yeah, we take care of that.

Truth to you, all right? Thank you. Thanks, Mr. Runny. All right, I got it. Bye, Mr. Runny. I don't like to hold you up, Garcin, just a few more questions. Ah. Now, you said the last time your brother was here, he wanted to borrow your car, is that right? That's right. Did you let him have it? I didn't have nothing. How about the rescue, keep an eye on him. I can't you let us alone. Henry's in trouble, let him take care of it. He had trouble with enough of our own. This is important, Garcin, we've got to have your cooperation. Why me? No, Henry's no good, I admit it, he's still my brother. Yeah. You asked me to send him to jail? If he belongs there, yeah. Look, I don't want any trouble. He'll be in... My mother lives in Santa Barbara, just moved there, I got the address. And he goes to see her every once in a while. When's the last time he said, two weeks ago I was there too, and something else. Henry had a gun. 11 a.m. Tuesday, Ben and I drove back to the office and put in a call to the Santa Barbara police department.

We asked him to put a stake out on the home of Henry Garcin's mother, and to notify us the minute Garcin was apprehended. We contacted San Diego and told him what we'd found out. After that we doubled back on Turquewer. From one of our informants, we heard that Webber and Garcin had gone into some kind of a business together. For a bank role, it succeeded in getting a loan from the second national bank on Glendale. 1 p.m. We drove out and checked with the manager of the bank's loan department, Mr. Peabody. Here we are officers. Stanley T. Webber, Henry Garcin, loan papers were signed over a month ago. What kind of a loan was it, Peabody? Business loan, Garcin Webber came in with another man. They talked to our manager, Mr. Ascot. Excuse me, Pierre. What business are they in? Trucking concern, they wanted the money to buy equipment for more trucks. How much money did they borrow? $4,500, usual terms. I guess you inquired into their background. Oh, yes, their whole financial background. Did you know that Garcin and Webber are both ex-convicts? I beg your pardon? I said, did you know that both of them are ex-convicts? You sure you haven't made a mistake? Henry Garcin, Stanley T. Webber? Yeah, I try. What the offer for collateral?

Well, they had some of their equipment, two trucks, and of course there was the cosigner. Who was that? The name's right here on the loan papers. Let's see. Right here. Cosigner, Frank Cheney. $2.30 p.m., then I checked back into the office and went down the hall to R&I. We pulled a package on Frank Bertram Cheney. Quite male American, five foot eight and a half inches, 152 pounds brown hair brown eyes. The record read like a dime novel. Almost 20 years before Cheney had crashed into the headlines of Pacific Coast newspapers as the gentleman bandit. Maybe some of the news stories were exaggerated, but the record showed that he actually owned a yacht, three expensive cars on a apartment house. In spite of all this, he decided to settle for a career of robbery and murder. The age of 30 was the most sought after man on the Pacific coast. Finally in 1931, after tracking him for a year and a half through more than a dozen armed robberies, sergeants, thaxter, and tailored of the Los Angeles Police Department brought him in.

He served 18 years at San Quentin and full some penitentries and anyone is parole at the age of 48. We checked his parole officer and he had nothing to report against him. We checked back in at robbery detail and met with Captain Ed Walker. How about Cheney's friends, Weber and Garcin? Nothing yet. Not a thing, Skipper. Stay out still on Garcin's mother's place in Santa Barbara. Weber's apartment still covered. You call San Diego about this? The Cheney angle? Yeah, we briefed him. They got all the mug shots down there. Weber's definitely been tagged as one of the men on that finance company, John. Figure Garcin for the second man, but none of the witnesses have picked out his mug shot. You talk to Cheney's parole officer? Yeah, I did. He gave us Cheney's last address. Same as the one on his ex-con registration, but he's moved. Didn't notify the office. What does that leave you? Well, I talked to the manager at the apartment and gave us a couple of addresses. This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures. That's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures. This is Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo.

It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Eggs sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This week at Vons and Albertsons, USDA Choice Tri-Tip Rose untrimmed are 599 per pound. Limit 4 rose with membership wear applicable.

You got something? We had the hold up when this is back and again this afternoon, showed a more mug shot. Yeah. We picked out whoever's partner in the hold up. Yeah. Name is Frank Channing. You are listening to Drag Nets, the case history of a police investigation, presented in the public interest by Fatima cigarettes. If you smoke a long cigarette, it will be in your interest to listen to a typical case history of a Fatima smoker.

It's the case of Lee Silver, General Assignment reporter on one of New York's greatest newspapers. You'll see his picture in leading magazines this week. And here is his actual sign statement. When you have to meet a news deadline, you work at a fast pace, smoke at a fast pace. That's why I smoke Fatima. They're extra mild. In my opinion, it's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. And more and more smokers are discovering this every day. Actual figures show Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast. So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. The king-sized cigarette which contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild. You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better, flavor and aroma. You will agree. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. The best of all, long cigarettes. Tuesday, January 31st, 4 p.m. In addition to the San Diego Teletype, we got out of local broadcasth and an APB on Frank Cheney.

By 4.30, Ben and I had checked out the first of two addresses where Cheney's former landlady told us that he might be staying. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a rough day. It was a ruminhouse out on West Washington. The owner told us that Cheney had stayed at his place for a few days, but that had been more than two months before. He had no idea where the suspect might be. We then drove to the second address. It was an apartment house on West Stanford near Slausson. Managers name was Mrs. Pritchard. Why, yes, I believe, Mr. Mrs. Cheney at home. They've been in all day. What's your part when it's there, Ian? Number seven, straight down the hall on your right. Thank you. They may be having dinner now. They expect you new? They are right, ma'am. Thank you. Okay.

How about the door? It's open. Come on. The apartment was deserted. We checked the bedroom and the kitchen. The robb of your signs of a fast getaway. On a card table in the living room, we found the remains of a quick dinner. Two places were set. One plate was almost cleaned, the other hardly touched. The coffee on the stove was still lukewarm. The call of the office in the rain is for a stakeout, and we went back down the hall and talked to the manager again. They moved in about a month ago, so I don't think it looked like any other newly married couple. Did you notice if they had any visitors, Mrs. Pritchard? Well, they might have, but I didn't notice. Did you notice anything odd about them at all? Only that one thing. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Cheney always seemed to have plenty of money. Put down two months or at an advance, but he didn't seem to have a job. Yes, ma'am. Every morning, he'd sleep late, but his wife was up at eight o'clock to go to work. Where's she working, ma'am? A company called Thompson and some other name.

Officers are down on South Hope. Felters, I think, Holmes and Holmes. My phone. Would you excuse me? Yes, ma'am. Go right ahead. Hello? Oh, yes. What? Yes, to police officer. Mrs. Pritchard, no. Talk to you. Hello. Cheney? Yes, he hung up. An alert for Cheney and his wife was broadcast, with special attention for the south end of the city. The wife's name and description was added to the APB. The next morning, Ben and I located her place of employment. Thompson and Kielceney, a big construction company. The office manager told us that three days before Mrs. Cheney had resounded a job by letter. She asked that her final paycheck be sent to her mother, lived in Mary'sville, California. We contacted the Mary'sville Police Department immediately. The home of Cheney's mother-in-law was placed under 24-hour surveillance. We now had more than a half a dozen stakeouts going.

A week passed. Nothing. Cheney and his wife seemed to have dropped completely from sight. Wednesday, February 9th, we got a tip from the Santa Barbara police that Cheney's friend, Henry Garzen, was in Los Angeles working in an auction house in Wilshire Boulevard. We ran it down. Looks like a high-class play. And I got a nice crowd, Emily. You can't watch her? No, thanks. You'd like to see the manager, please. You all right? What we see? Oh, yes. Over there by the claim derrick. The man in the dark suit. Mr. Wil. Thank you, thank you. Mr. Willie? Yeah. Police officers, sir. We'd like to check on a man who's supposed to be one of your employees here. Oh, that's so? What's his name? Here's his picture. Can you identify? Well, yeah. It's Johnson, the new clerk. Well, I talked to him. Yes, sir. All right. Right, this way he's back in the store room. So I'm kind of troubled.

Good luck, Doctor. Yes, all right. See. Oh, yes, there he is. There's Johnson. Oh, Johnson, would you come on, Ben? You're running. Johnson, come here. Out the back. Yeah. There he goes. He's heading up the street. Come on. Yeah. We've got on that bus. All right, come on, a double back for Tara. Hurry. Yeah. All right. Do you hear the bus? Yeah. Come on, move it. Yep. All right, it's time. All right, I can get it to the garden for an hour. For the Paris de Paris, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on, let's go. Come on. You cover the back door with it. All right.

Open your door. It's not it. Police officers want to check your passengers. Open that rear door right away. Sir. All right, guys, I'm getting off. I'm getting off. Come on, I can gel. Getting off. Cop will make a hole. Stop it, Garsell. He's got guns. I said I'm getting off. I can't let's drop a gun. I can't let you go. Go, go, go, go. Good. Good, gel. You okay? Yeah. Let's get him off again. What's it all about? He do something wrong? Yeah. He didn't get off when we asked him to. 9 p.m. Wednesday. We drove Garcindor, Georgia Street receiving hospital, where he was treated for minor cuts and bruises. And we took him back to the office at the interrogation room. We call San Diego and notify them of the arrest. From 10 o'clock that night until 10 the next morning, Captain Walker, Ben and I questioned Garcindor. He refused to admit that he even knew Frank Cheney or Kirk Weber. By noon, he was pretty tired, so were we.

A 12-0-5, a call came through from San Diego. On Friday, this is Russ Orbsby. Yeah, Russ. Press lead on Kirk Weber. He's got a sister living in San Clemente. Yeah? And we've got our house staked out. How the tip he's going to fare a visit? When's that? This afternoon. 3.15 p.m. We got to San Clemente turn off, and a few minutes later Orbsby and McGuire arrived from San Diego. We drove to the home of Weber's sister on South Orange Street and identified ourselves. She told us the Turk had been there that morning, but that he'd gone to the races of Del Mar for the afternoon. Did your brother say he was coming back? That he might be back, but he sure. Did he go to the racetrack alone? Yeah. Was he going to meet anyone there? I don't think so. He didn't mention it. He's driving a car. No, he took the bus to the track. Where would he most likely go if he doesn't come back here? I don't know. Maybe back to LA, maybe San Diego, I don't know. Do you know if your brother, the Turk, is going to meet Frank Cheen?

How could he? The Turk says Cheen is up north someplace with his wife. Told me that this morning. Where up north? He didn't know. You and McGuire want to stake out here Orbsby? Better now, I'll hit the track. Yeah, OK. Look, I can't have cops here if Turk comes back. I think I framed him. You can't get over it. You don't know Turk when he gets sorry because that is he'll kill me. Why worry, miss? Huh? You have to kill us first. 345 PM. Ben and I left Weber's sister's house and drove down to the racetrack at Del Mar. We got there just at the start of the seventh race. Well, no idea whether the suspect was still there or not. We alerted the security police gave them mug shots of Weber. And we went to the public address booth in the clubhouse and talked to the man in charge. A few minutes later, the trap for Weber was set. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth. The emergency phone call. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth.

We waited. Ben stationed at a vantage point on one side of the booth. Me and the other. Minutes passed. Weber didn't show. Ben caught my eye and shrugged his shoulders. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth. The emergency telephone call. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth. The announcer was barely finished and I saw Ben motion. I looked and saw large man heading up to cement ramp. When I got to the town, he said, I was right and headed straight for the public address booth. It was T. Weber. Hold it right there, Weber. Police officers, get your hands up. What is this? You, Assy, cops, I'll have you busted for this. David Weber, get your hands up. Oh, T. Weber, what difference does it make sense to him? You'll never get him. You'll never get him. You'll never get him in 20 years. You'll never get who? You know who, Cheney. He's too smart for you. You'll never get him in 20 years. Oh, we got you, Weber. She can bend. Oh, shake it. I'll shake it. I'll shake it.

I got you, Weber. She can bend. I'll shake you, cop. Watch it, Ben. There you go. I'll kill you. I'll kill you, all right. Hey. That's it. I'm sure a big baggy. Oh, what's that over there? That's all I need, Spice. Hmm. It's like a tip, she's. Yeah. Yeah. Blue boy's peerless selection for search. Price, one dollar. I'm gonna look down at the counter. Hmm. Hmm. Best picks. We can't lose. This is your lucky day. Or should we prove? Yeah, I get his dollar back. The story you have just heard was true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. On June 19th, trial was held in Superior Court, city and county of San Diego, state of California, in a moment the results of that trial.

It's amazing how many long cigarette smokers are changing to extra mild Fatima. Here is the actual report. From cost to cost, extra mild Fatima has more than double its smokers. Yes, more and more smokers every day are discovering that Fatima is the king-size cigarette that is extra mild. Extra mild because it contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobacco's superbly blended to make it extra mild. To give it a much different, much better flavor and aroma. Enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. Best of all long cigarettes. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. After identifying Frank Trini as the man who did the shooting in the San Diego hold-up and murder,

Stanley T. Weber was tried and convicted of participation in the robbery and received a sentence of life imprisonment. Henry Garthon was cleared of any complicity in the hold-up killing, but he was returned to prison for violation of parole and for several burglaries in San Diego and Los Angeles.
