Tonight's FBI file, the Hologoscope Homicide. A basic quality of crime has not changed materially in the last hundred years. In 1847 men were committing murders and robbing of the men, and doing the very same things that criminals do today.

And crimes were committed a century ago for the very same reasons they're committed today. for revenge or lust or greed. But there is one big difference in the crime picture today. And that is that law enforcement has progressed to the point of being not a business, but a science.

In the old days, if the constable of a town did not apprehend the criminal before he fled, the criminal was safe. But today, there is a vast network of law enforcement agencies that makes every career of crime unprofitable.

That network begins with your local police and ends with your FBI, the last line of your defense. The night FBI file opens in a small dimly lighted room. Ruth Holden, a slightly studious looking man, is seated in one corner of this room, busily writing. A companion nervously faces the floor.
