I'm Captain in command of the 21st. I was working my date Sunday, and things were quiet in the precinct. He'd several complaints from various churches about boys playing in nearby streets in a boisterous manner and disturbing the services.

I had given instructions at the turnout for the men on post and insecticides to correct this situation by warning the boys to play more quietly or move their games to other locations. I went to the vicinity of every church in the precinct to observe whether the conditions had been corrected.

On Ruth Downs' 2nd Avenue, I saw sector car number 1, the Sergeant's car, and the Detective Squad car of the 21st Squad talked outside the fence around a new construction project on which excavation had started about two weeks before.

I instructed my operator to pull in. As I got out of the car and headed for a gate in the fence, I saw Sergeant Waters also walking toward the gate from a call box on the opposite corner.

And here, Captain. Got a burglar in a tool shack down there. Be deep, hold it up, mister. And they've got to go still deeper. Well, what have we got? There was a call from the watchman.
