Dragnet: The Big Try

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Dragnet. You're assigned a homicide detail. A young man walks into your office and tells you he wants to give himself up.

You don't know if you can believe his story. Your job? The December 10th is cold in Los Angeles. We were working the daywatch out of homicide detail. My partner, Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Lorman.

My name's Frank. We're on our way back to records and identification. It was 11.15 a.m. and we got to room 42. The squad room. Joe? Yeah, Danny. Kid waiting to see you. Did he say what he wanted?

No. Said he wanted to talk to you, nobody else. To give a name? No. Nice looking kid. Fine, we'll talk to him. You're right with the job, sir. I could book. Fine, do you want to see me?

Uh, you Sergeant Friday? That's right. What can I do for you? I want to talk to you. Nothing on the book, Joe. What's your name, sir? Eamels Soler. Eamels is my partner, Frank Smith. I promised to Smith, Fizer.

Why'd you ask for me? Well, he told me to. Who's that? The men in that room across the hall of business office. I see. I sure hope you can help me, Sergeant Friday. I'm in trouble.

Real bad. All right. So I'll sit down here and tell us about it. Well, one thing you should know, I came in to give myself up. You all right? I didn't mean to do wrong.

Right, what'd you do? Killed a man. Emil Charles Sauter was 18 years old. five feet seven and a half, 137 pounds. He had light blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a tan windbreaker and tan pants.
