Transcript
The Equitable Society presents this is your FBI. This is your FBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.
Before opening tonight's file, will you imagine for a moment that you're looking in the dictionary, There is one word in it of special importance for millions of you who have tuned in this program. If you look in the dictionary, you will find that the word society comes from an ancient Latin word, societas, which means literally a group of allies.
So don't you agree that the equitable life-assurance society of the United States is well named a society? It is a group of allies. Every member of the Equitable Society has three and a quarter million trustworthy allies.
They are his fellow members, the men and women who have joined forces with him to provide the security of life insurance for themselves and their families. So now you know that the word society in the name Equitable Society has a very deep significance.
It means that this great mutual organization is owned entirely by its members, the equitable life-assurance society of the United States. Tonight's file, the innocent killer. Too often, grave injustices have been committed against innocent persons through circumstantial evidence and coincidence.
Therefore, your FBI has never relied solely on either in fixing the guilt for a crime. Considering rather the establishment of innocence as the first principle of true justice, your FBI, as tonight's case from a Talaskan files demonstrates, takes nothing for granted, respects all evidence until proven valid, and never jumps at conclusion.
