Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city We're under the cold glaring lights will pass before us the innocent the vagrant the thief the murderer This is the lineup. Oh, thanks big line. There are 22. See you later. Yeah. Oh, mr. Martin. Oh hello Lieutenant

How are you just fine been here on that not long. No. Do you think you've got any demand? No way being sure until you point them out We picked up three or four on suspicion, past records and close to your description.

Stop the line, the audience. What may I have to do with that? Well, you sure think with four men

to find the order to be able to spot one of them? I don't know. Maybe they haven't got any records. Hey, they were pretty professional about it. We didn't even get a print. Yeah. And we'll look at the M.O.

Four guys going to a theater, stick it up. One lookout. The other three guys go up to the manager's office. Up, sure, but not four guys working like this. Young guys. And Martin says the three who came into his office could have been over 22 or three.

And nobody in our files even comes close to the descriptions. Maybe the first John. I acted like cowboys and Indians. Martin says he thought they were kidding until he saw the guns. Staked out the thinness.

Poor guys just held up the Lincoln theatre. Fitch was on stake. I tried to stop him. Try. You're down one, but got shot up doing it. Down the way to the hospital. How bad? Pretty bad.
