starting your car engine by a hand crank? 10 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,240 I sure do, Harlow. 11 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,560 I worked like a horse. 12 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Well, you'd work like three horses to start today's modern engines, Hap. 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,400 But now electricity does it and other jobs like running your heater, radio, lights and 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,400 horn. 15 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560 Electricity is pretty important to a car, eh? 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,320 It's vital, Hap, and that's where Auto Light comes in. 17 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,040 Because Auto Light designs and builds complete electrical systems used as original factory 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,080 equipment on many leading makes of our finest

distributor, generator, starting 21 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,880 motor and their thousands of component parts are related by Auto Light engineering design 22 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,880 and manufacturing skill. 23 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,320 Sort of a family team, eh, Harlow? 24 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,280 Auto Light, Hap, a family team working together to give you the smoothest performance money 25 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,280 can buy. 26 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,000 So, friends, take a tip from me and insist on Auto Light original factory parts when 27 00:01:51,000 -->

00:02:42,560 It's not your fault. 37 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,560 Go on, call them. 38 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,560 Let them know. 39 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,560 Shut up! 40 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,560 I've got the gun. 41 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,080 If they come in this room, I'll kill you. 42 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,480 You make a sound, I'll kill you. 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,960 I'm just down the hall now. 44 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,640 You know they'll come in here. 45 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,640 Come on, kid, do as I say. 46 00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,640 It's too hot. 47 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,680 I can't breathe. 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,680 Open the door. 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960 Now look at me. 50 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,680 Look at me. 51 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,980 Look at your head. 52 00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:13,320 I warned you. 53 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,320 I warned you. 54 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520 Now I've got to kill them all. 55 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,520 I will. 56 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,520 I will. 57 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,520 I've got to get our own. 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:31,480 I've got to get our own. 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,880 There was a lot of pain and a sick feeling. 60 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,280 I could hear him crying and I knew that I had to try and do something before he started 61 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,280 shooting. 62 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,400 That would be the end. 63 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Then sounds faded away and I remembered everything that happened as if it was a dream, only it 64 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,840 wasn't a dream. 65 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,840 It happened all right. 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:56,920 With Jerry it started at home, a mother and father who didn't have time, who didn't care. 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,400 Next in high school, smoking a smoke that wasn't a cigarette. 68 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,280 Then keep up with the gang until it was costing him nearly $50 a day to escape reality for 69 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,280 a few hours. 70 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,920 It was all in your newspapers a few weeks ago, how they arrested Jerry Baxter and sent 71 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,000 him to a correction school for peddling narcotics in the high school yard. 72 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,800 That was only the beginning. 73 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,160 I'm a juvenile investigator, state of California, but this could have happened in any state. 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240 My name, McIntyre. 75 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,680 I know Jerry better than his parents, which is bad. 76 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,360 I got talking to him in correction school and asked him to tell me what happened after 77 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,080 he'd been arrested. 78 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000 I want to talk about it. 79 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Why not Jerry? 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520 Because it's like remembering what happens when you die. 81 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,840 That's what it's like when all of a sudden they don't let you have this stuff. 82 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,120 Well, I want to know Jerry. 83 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,120 What do you want to know? 84 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,320 Yeah, you go nuts, they tie you down because you want to kill anybody yourself. 85 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,760 You want to try it for six months then see what happens when you can't get anymore? 86 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,160 You were 16 when you started using narcotics, weren't you? 87 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,160 Yeah. 88 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 When did you start peddling? 89 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,120 When I didn't have enough money to buy anymore. 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,160 Fell in high school, put me onto someone. 91 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,960 I got all I wanted by selling marijuana to the kids. 92 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,360 That's when they arrested you? 93 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,360 Yeah. 94 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,600 You got into a fight here a few months ago. 95 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,600 Yeah. 96 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,600 You want to tell me? 97 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,160 Don't give me that, you know. 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160 I'd like to hear your side. 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,960 Why did you fight? 100 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,560 The other kid was getting out. 101 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,760 He kept talking about it. 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,880 Sent me crazy, I guess. 103 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,880 So you beat him up? 104 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,880 No. 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440 He had a knife and I got cut. 106 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440 They sent me to the infirmary. 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,360 Did they treat you all right there? 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160 I guess so. 109 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,240 I don't know. 110 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,000 Why don't they let me alone? 111 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Let you alone? 112 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Who? 113 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Everybody. 114 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Just let me alone. 115 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,800 I haven't been able to locate your family, Jerry. 116 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Neither have I. 117 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,600 They threw me out of the house two years ago and I haven't seen them since. 118 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,600 Have you tried? 119 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,600 Did you look? 120 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Ah, who needs them? 121 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,880 He told me a lot more and I got to know him well. 122 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,120 That's when I was sure that this was a sick kid, not an habitual criminal. 123 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 But he'd learned to hate. 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480 It was in his face, his manner. 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,360 It was a furious hate, the stuff killings made of. 126 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,840 That's what I wanted to stop. 127 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,760 So I took him before the parole board. 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,360 I've been telling these people about you, Jerry. 129 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,360 Yeah. 130 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Mr. McIntyre feels that yours is a special case, Jerry. 131 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,640 The fact that you gave evidence against the man who supplied you with narcotics, even 132 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960 though we couldn't prove anything against him, still it's in your favor. 133 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,960 So? 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,640 However, we feel you should know that we don't altogether agree with Mr. McIntyre. 135 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,920 Your record here hasn't been very promising. 136 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,560 So let's get it over with. 137 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,480 The recommendation has been made that you be released from correction school. 138 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,680 Now if we grant a parole, Mr. McIntyre has arranged for you to work in a department store 139 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,680 in Oakland. 140 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,000 I didn't ask a favor. 141 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560 In view of the boy's attitude, Mr. McIntyre... 142 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,280 I know, he's got a chip. 143 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,520 But isn't that enough for you to see what I meant in my report? 144 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400 We have a responsibility to the citizen, to the community. 145 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,800 I don't say the boy's incorrigible. 146 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Then give him a chance. 147 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,760 You know the background, he's lived with punishments all his life. 148 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,600 More of it won't cure anything. 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,920 Let's try a little understanding and kindness. 150 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,480 Very well, Mr. McIntyre. 151 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,520 The board will make its decision this afternoon. 152 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Jerry Baxter was released the following week and after being warned about association with 153 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,200 former friends, was given $50 to get to Oakland and rent a room. 154 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,600 I arranged a weekly report date with him and gave him $20 more for luck. 155 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,880 He left the correction school at 10.30 and five minutes later was in the worst trouble 156 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,880 he'd ever found in his life. 157 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Get in. 158 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Going as far as Oakland? 159 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Sure. 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,560 Well, saves me bus fare. 161 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,560 You live in Oakland? 162 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,120 I got a job there. 163 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,000 I used to live in San Francisco. 164 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,520 Big hop across the bay. 165 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Yeah. 166 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,520 Do you mind driving fast? 167 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,520 I don't mind. 168 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,520 I'm in a hurry. 169 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,520 Okay with me. 170 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:29,520 Jerry sat in the car and tried to watch the countryside flashing by. 171 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,520 He didn't want to look at a woman. 172 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,320 He said that. 173 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,000 She was pretty, well dressed, wearing a reddish fur coat. 174 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,040 He knew she had plenty of money. 175 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,560 It would have been easy to make her stop the car, put her out and take whatever she had. 176 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,560 It would have been easy. 177 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,560 But he didn't do it. 178 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,560 Just sat. 179 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:50,560 That's what he said he did. 180 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:56,280 Well, we'll be in Oakland in a couple more miles. 181 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,160 I'm going to stop at the drug store in the next corner. 182 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,160 Make a phone call, okay? 183 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160 All right with me. 184 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640 Gee, parking's getting awful. 185 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Look at this. 186 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640 That is a place right outside the store. 187 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,120 Oh no, that's not good. 188 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,120 It's a fire plug. 189 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,120 Oh, that's all right. 190 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,120 I won't be a minute. 191 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,800 You slide over behind the wheel. 192 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,800 You can drive, can't you? 193 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,800 Sure, but I... 194

crossed the bridge to San Francisco. 406 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,680 A drug addict on Market Street had reported that a boy answering Jerry's description had 407 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,680 held him up. 408 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,680 Forced him to hand over a gun to the police. 409 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,680 He was shot. 410 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,680 He was shot. 411 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680 He was shot. 412 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,680 He was shot. 413 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,680 He was shot. 414 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,680 He was shot. 415 00:16:25,680 -->

to hand over a supply of drugs. 424 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,660 I stayed with Sergeant Holley because I wanted to be there if they found him. 425 00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:40,460 I wanted to find him myself. 426 00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:41,720 Night came and we kept on looking. 427 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,920 The search always led us to the South City. 428 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,220 It was narrowing down as we got calls. 429 00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:50,460 And we knew that he must be nearby. 430 00:16:50,460 --> 00:16:55,320 Anything in there, Bannister? 431 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,320

Check in the car. 436 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,440 See if anything's come in. 437 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Okay. 438 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,640 He's got friends down here, Holly. 439 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,440 There's a million places to hide. 440 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,080 Yeah, I know it. 441 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040 I'm just wondering if he told the truth. 442 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,040 What do you mean? 443 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280 How about that woman? 444 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,760 I got him a parole because I believed in him. 445 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,760 So? 446 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,760 We all make mistakes. 447 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,920 Oh, you don't understand. 448 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Suppose he wasn't lying. 449 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,600 Suppose he did hitch a ride and it was the truth. 450 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,160 It's a lot of coincidence, Mac. 451 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480 He's got a record of peddling. 452 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440 He's picked up in a stolen car, doped in the glove compartment. 453 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,520 What does that sound like? 454 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,520 Yeah, sure. 455 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,960 Well, there's another alley around the side. 456 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,960 I'll take a look. 457 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,960 Be careful. 458 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Just yell and run if you see him. 459 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,960 All right. 460 00:17:41,960 --> 00:18:04,400 Hi, Mr. Mac. 461 00:18:04,400 -->

00:19:29,040 I was hoping when we got on the street that Holly or Bannister would be there, but they 503 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,040 weren't. 504 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,320 I saw the man with the prowl car across at the corner, empty. 505 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,840 I couldn't take a chance, not only for my own skin, but Jerry's. 506 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,840 They'd be shooting. 507 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,840 So I walked with him. 508 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,240 I wasn't able to get near enough to grab the gun. 509 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:46,120 As we passed under a street lamp, I saw his face, pale and tight, but his eyes were clear. 510 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,120 I knew he'd taken none of the stolen narcotics. 511 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,120 He hadn't taken it yet. 512 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,120 We didn't go far. 513 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:56,640 He stopped at a rundown hotel and, signaling me to walk ahead, went up the back stairs. 514 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:03,160 I remember the smell of that place, old and rotten. 515 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,480 306. 516 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280 How come you want your kind of job, Mr. Mack? 517 00:20:10,280

Harry Richards leaned against the wall. 581 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,680 Didn't take his eyes off me. 582 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,000 Jerry groaned once, but didn't come out of it. 583 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,880 There was a bad cut on his head where the barrel with the gun had hit him. 584 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,880 Then they were ready. 585 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,800 He dragged the boy to a closet, put him in, turned around to me and... 586 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,080 All right, mister, turn around. 587 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Turn around, I said. 588 00:22:29,080 -->

Then when I tried to get the gun, he hit me. 594 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,120 It was a long way off that sound. 595 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:23,440 It faded, then came back. 596 00:23:23,440 -->

--> 00:26:18,080 We caught the Richards that same night at the airport. 703 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,960 We caught the Richards, but two days later I had another youngster to talk to. 704 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,200 This time a 16-year-old girl. 705 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,840 Her mother was with her and wouldn't believe it when I showed her the marijuana we'd taken 706 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,760 from her daughter. 707 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,400 She bought it from a friend in school. 708 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,840 She told me all about it. 709 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,600 And as I listened I thought of Jerry. 710 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:58,640 And I wondered where it would end. 711 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,560 The Spence, presented by Auto Light. 712 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,920 Tonight's star, Mr. Gregory Peck. 713 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,480 Today we honor our flag, symbol of American freedom. 714 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,280 And on this day it is appropriate that we also honor an American city which typifies 715 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,960 the heritage of our great country. 716 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,800 That city is Detroit, which this year celebrates its 250th anniversary. 717 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,920 Since July 24th, 1701, when Antoine de la Mote Cadillac first set his standard on the 718 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,080 shore of Ville de Troyes, Detroit has never ceased to progress. 719 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Here was developed our greatest tool, the automobile. 720 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,520 And from this arsenal of democracy came many of the sinews of defense which helped keep 721 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,160 our country free through two world conflicts. 722 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,560 And as surely as Detroit has achieved in material sense, so has it contributed to international 723 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,440 understanding and to the cultural and spiritual life of America. 724 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Auto Light is proud to have known and worked with the people of Detroit and gladly takes 725 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:17,320 this opportunity to extend to them best wishes on their 250th anniversary of their fine city. 726 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,320 Next week on Suspense, Mr. James Mason in another story suggested by Actual Events. 727 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,040
