that anything else he has would he

I'VE didn't need wireless. When
we suspected a man of homicide, or q

the place for a suspect until he's
cleared and that's where they should

Dew don't deserve any credit at all.
In New York cops could have gone
to Father Point and arrested Crippen
after the captain of the Montrose had
identified him and sent a wireless TO
