Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city For under the cold glaring lights will pass before us the innocent the vagrant the thief the murderer This is the lineup of the middle there. Thanks big line. There's about 22. See you later. Yeah, oh, mr. Martin

Oh, hello Lieutenant. How are you? Yes fine been here on that not long. No. Do you think you've got any demand? I don't know why you'd be ensuring till you point them out. We picked up three or four on suspicion.

Pass records and close to your description. I found the audience. What may I have to admit? He's down looking at the mug file again.

Well, you sure think with four men to find, you ought 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're looking at the M-O. Four guys going to a theater, sticking up. One lookout. The other three guys go up to the manager's office. We've had theatre all up, sure, but not four guys working like this.

Young guys. You know, Martin says the three who came into his office could have been over 22 or three. Nobody in our files even comes close to the descriptions. Maybe the first John. They acted like cowboys and Indians.

Martin says he thought they were kidding until he saw the guns. Staked out the theatre? Yes, four guys just tell up the Lincoln theatre. Which was on stake, I tried to stop him. I tried to stop him.
