Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city, or under the cold, glaring lights will pass before us the innocent, the vagrant, the thief, the murderer.

This is the line up. Now these chairs in the front, any of them? Oh, yes, sir. Can I smoke it? Sure, sure.

No, thanks. Just put one out. How is the woman? They operated this morning. She's pretty long. And the man who owned the car? We picked him up. Did he do it? That's what we want you to tell us, Mr. Del.

You, eh, I got a good look. I know. I can tell you all right. I hope so. May I have your attention, please? You people on the other side of the wire in the audience room, may I have your attention, please?

Thank you. My name is Greg Sajan, Matt Grab, I'll explain the line up to you. Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call off a number, their name and charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the President, as I call his name, at the end of each line when I ask for questions or

identifications, call out the numbers. I can tell you all right. I hope so. I'm not sure of the suspect, Adam Hill. The officers who took your name will assist you there seated among you. Please be quiet with your questions or identifications.

When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the bathroom and dressed back into their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here. Questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tone of voice.
