your excellences request i applied for specially from the bureau in order to make an investigation in your state my notes contained all the essential facts but my injuries make this transcription into a present of a manuscript painfully slow one finally i will submit the following as a full report on parole conditions which resulted and the release of dangerous criminals who had once returned to their lives of crime realize of course your identity must not go beyond the three of us in this room it's only fair to warn you that our two previous investigators fared rather badly we found one of them with enough lead to start a pipe factory the other simply disappeared thanks for warning me oh thank you  welcome gentleman i left washington in such a hurry that i wasn't given a very complete briefing on your particular problem but offhand i would say the trouble is in your parole board during the past six months prisoners of such low character have been paroled i reason other than proven mouth for reasons of office we see and kind of ties things that one gentleman i've been figuring how to go about this investigation forgive me for placing governor i think better rose to his last job with the milberg trust company hold up oh yes i remember now murdoch was paroled and then quietly skipped the country so quietly in fact that not even the grapevine has the information as yet and you propose to assume the identity of murdoch that's right only i'll call myself rick carson since murdoch naturally would be using an alias now as murdoch alias rick carson i must become friendly with someone who has been through the here's my private telephone number where you can reach me any time day or night thank you metropolitan six to six seven to politan six to six seven i remember you're not serving time for attempted murder bob or do you have anything to say about that yeah it was a bully rat a lot of things about my trials now plenty bad so does your police record you think you i should have ma'am i found out the crime don't pay off sides i realize the things i've done it fair to glenn she's my wife if you are poor old when you conscientiously try to live a clean and decent life sure jones it seems to me that keeping a man behind bars when he can earn a living is a needless waste of taxpayers money i vote for his parole and your decision reverend as you well know i usually bend over backwards to give the misguided unfortunates a chance but in the case of harry palmer my conscience compels me to oppose use parole and your decision mr perkins bomber deliberately broke the law not once but many times green a man like palmer makes a travesty of justice i am positively against perlita well it seems were evenly divided to four and two against bombers brule consequently a chairman of this board because my duty to cast the deciding vote over a decision like this must come from the heart as well as the money must be tempered with humanity and understanding i watched bomber when he made his plea and i'm convinced of is  granddad was working as a waitress at the pastime club so i decided to hang around delete that hang around so i decided to drop around to the club to look the situation over board reckons the three salesmen were blackie old some frank mitchell and kid red but they sold for the cooperative customers who are always glad to make a dishonest dollar chili another of joe joe's willing workers spent most of his spare time trying to cheat a slot machine carrying his working hours he called on the less co operative prospects for these he had three convincing arguments to hard a long police and prison record such were evidently the powers of harry palmer he didn't trust me from the very first however during the two weeks until palmer's parole i managed to every cop in the state i might be one of black and could investigate let me know exactly how things stand j b i that's me joe johns guru of investigation i get this picture this is the middle but trust me a real old broken down joint as the flight of stairs where we came up this is the vault is a real old fashioned can of stairs made a little tough because we had to back down and we couldn't see who was coming up any way let me ask you another question you get the two grand harry whenever i need a few g s i don't let anything stand in my way if the do i called the commissioner and told him i was all set to buy a parole for a pal of mine named money cooper but i had to have two thousand dollars he agreed but as the boys were somewhat suspicious of me and in order to gain their that job and the boys who hung out around the pair's time club mediately started to accept me as one of the boys as it were and i turned over five hundred dollars to palmer and went with him to make the context for cooper's p when we reached the lobby of an office building ahmed told me i couldn't go upstairs with this was disappointing but i heard him tell a elevator operator to take him to the fifth floor so i checked the names of all the tenants on that particular floor there were over can't believe you can't write less than an hour ago he laid five hundred dollars on my desk and gave me a long spiel about knowing that i was your lawyer and that you came to see me any time you wanted to get anybody out of the pen naturally i told him that hunting around for a delete that coming around make it fumbling about fumbling about for a new lead i looked up the grief stricken and embittered gland pretending to her that i wanted to avenge her husband's murder which had cost me five hundred dollars and i showed her the list of tenants occupying the fifth floor of the building to which palmer and i had gone to  right place course we'll need cash yeah i know two thousand dollars promised so me if you did you could probably make yeah yeah i gave him five hundred dollars and for you is another thousand thank you i like to have a receipt oh sure well i guess that about winds up what i have to say from iran my future is in your hands all i ask is that you give me a break you needn't worry about not getting a fair break from this  return to your duties and you'll be informed of our decision later thank you thank you very much because i couldn't understand why anyone would give a job to a multiple loser like money cooper i decided to check the county assessor's records to find out what i could about suspecting the set up however was not enough i still had to obtain the proof that afternoon i worked out a strategic plan pastime club that i would meet cooper out of the farm but commissioner this is just one thing and i hope you won't let me down on this you see and list cooper is picked up at the prison gates when he's released if he should happen to come out of the ainslie farm at the same time i'm there and get one good look at me and i'm a straight my career is murdoch or a carson or hendricks will come to a very sad and painful end oh you have nothing to worry about all that score hendricks i've already notified four states of cooper's impending expecting them to say to noon sometime you make yourself at home i've got to get the horses ready to your congressman yeah i hadn't figured on road to school visiting the farm i realized his presence might have set my plans but i had to take the gamble so i waited until ainslie had disappeared i had brought along an instrument which the commissioner of police had provided and taking advantage of a absence i decided to make use of it i quickly ascertained that no one else was near i think in my mind the details of the room and then found a suitable place in which to conceal the precious instrument it was the latest type of sound recorder one set to operate it needed no further attention since it would automatically start when someone spoke and stopped again when the voice concluded it could pick up voice frequencies within a radius of fifty feet and could record continuously for four hours hello get me metropolitan four four two four four list of names and addresses of the parole board members that i left with you this morning yes i have it right here i want you to send each one of them the following how a gram urgent you meet me and farm without delay drop don't lose any time when i get back to town i'll come over and explain everything you go by do you think the fellows could put enough on shorts to raise say an extra twenty thousand dollars in the next few weeks they might i putting in extra pressure on the customs then i think there should be a powerful hand to record committees being organized around  to send those telegrams to every member of the parole board i assume that only the one member who was mixed up in the parole conspiracy would know what was meant by the farm and the signature barney just the desk i had the team satisfaction of knowing that my jones arrived in the car with my primary  time i was confident the recording machine was doing its work but to make the record admissible as evidence in court i would have to swear that i had seen the people inside that room and to identify their voices it was  one way to do this road why well i don't like lanky explanations but you can speak freely back when you see folks i'm not exactly on speaking terms with the law and when i saw a couple of cars parked outside especially with my friend money being one of the other states i my account i'm forty two telephoned in by miss bruce but when you check them raise cain with western union to trace the call back to what was that number again elect to set up a trace of cooper not a word from hendricks should a context of this long before this seem certain he could wind up this investigation sometime this afternoon well if we don't hear from hendrix pretty quick now i suggest contact he got the lady a glass of water this is a member i'm very anxious to get some information about rick carson no it's all right he's working with us oh thank you so you are he said you were helping him but i suppose we'll have to teach him how to speak for your cooperation hope a doctor gets his soup good night tonight we haven't been here yet open it up m
