The Topaz Earring Case (aka-Murder of Larry Zimmerman)

Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city Or under the cold blaring lights will pass before us the innocent the vagrant the thief the murderer This is the lineup Face your wand, Mr. Kramer. Suit yourself.

I know what's wrong with her. Right here. I sure won't need no ringside seat to peg that thing again. When was she burned up? The minute she climbed in my cab, look it down. She certainly wasn't mad when I saw her. She was scared.

Well, that was about 45 minutes later, Mr. Kramer, when she went in your drugstore. Yeah, and it can happen if 45 minutes are out of your attention. May I have your attention, please? You peeking out there on the other side of the wire in the audience room.

May I have your attention, please? All right, fine. That's next. Thank you. My name is Grep, Sergeant Matt Grep. I'll explain the line unto 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, call out the number. If you're not too sure of the suspect, have her held. The officers who took your name for the sis due, they're seated among you.

I wish you really could speak. Please be frank, your questions or identification. When the prisoners leave here, the matron takes them back to the bathroom where they dress back into their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here.

The questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tone of voice. So do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie. Bring on the line. All right, girls, all right this way.
